Gentle didn't say anything, and felt the cool breeze blowing in outside, only the quilt was pulled higher.

She is not a pessimistic person, and her first reaction when she encounters something must be to think about how to solve it, and she will not spend too much energy on sighing. Therefore, Xiao Jingtang over there was still spinning in a dead end in the rain, and the gentleness here had already figured out a way out.

Behind Xiao Jingtang is the three princes, who can compete with the three princes, and there is a way for her to come into contact with it, there is only one big prince. Pei Fangwu is a man, and he is a man who has feelings for her, she can't owe him too much favors, and after the glass lampshade has a way out, she has to find a way to be self-reliant and get through her own relationship. Then leave the Xiao family forever and never come back.

These beatings and injuries, she suffered for Du Wenrou, Du Wenrou deserved it, but she was not. It doesn't matter if she is unreasonable, or if she doesn't argue right and wrong, these people who beat her, hurt her, laugh at her, and laugh at her, she is bound to return them one by one, anyway, Du Wenrou is not a good person, since it is useless to be a good person with her body, it is okay to continue to be a smart bad person.

She just needs to be comfortable on her own.

Xiao Jingtang was sick for a while, a good person, he lost a lot of weight after a serious illness, Mrs. Xiao asked him distressedly What was wrong, he only shook his head, didn't say a word, and continued to do things.

When he was sick, Pei Jiyou's porcelain kiln workers were beaten to death by the porcelain kiln manager, and the workers sued the court, and Pei's family suffered a lawsuit. A wave of unsettled, there was another problem with the food in Pei's restaurant, and three people were killed, and the county magistrate directly detained Pei Fangwu in prison, and a letter was sent to Governor Pei.

Before Governor Pei replied, Pei Fangwu had been unable to get out, and the matter of wanting to redeem the gentleness was naturally put on hold.

Gentle and unhurried to recuperate for two days, and when Xiao Jingtang was recovering from a serious illness, he returned to work.

"Second young master, tea. With a smile on his face that was not warm, he gently put the teacup in Xiao Jingtang's hand, and then stood respectfully beside him.

Xiao Jingtang pursed his lips, glanced at her, took a sip of tea, and frowned slightly: "It's too light." ”

"The slave and maid will go and change it. Without saying a word, he gently withdrew with the teacup in his hand, with a respectful attitude, no different from the other maids in the house.

However, the second young master's face did not improve, he looked at her back, and asked the housekeeper next to him in a low voice, "Who taught her a lesson?"

"Back to the young master, no. The housekeeper shook his head: "Since the last family law, no one has touched Du's family." ”

Then why is this happening? Xiao Jingtang frowned.

He had thought in the past two days that with Du Wenrou's current temperament, he might resist, struggle, and then try all means to leave, and he had prepared many ways to deal with it.

However, she turned out to be more docile than before, and Rao was deliberately provoked by him, and there was no reaction. The smile on the face is like a thorn in the tree, and suddenly it is completely impossible to approach.

What does she want to do?

Another cup of tea was brewed back, and he stood beside him with his hands down, watching Xiao Jingtang taste the tea and put it down.

"If you want to curry favor with me and intercede for Pei Fangwu. He said coldly, "It's useless." ”

Nodding softly, without saying a word.

The room was quiet for a while, and Xiao Jingtang couldn't help but speak again: "If you want to use this method to ask for my forgiveness and let you go, it is impossible." ”

Wen Rou still nodded, and put the snacks from the kitchen on his table by the way.

Xiao Jingtang frowned, and swept the dim sum to the ground with an ugly face. Gentle and not annoyed, he half-knelt down to pack up his things and respectfully retreated.

Like all the fists hit the cotton, and at the same time, the second young master felt an indescribable panic in his heart.

"What does she want to do?" he asked Steward Xiao.

The housekeeper sighed: "What the young master has to worry about is not what she has to do, but that she may not want to do anything." ”

What does this mean? Xiao Jingtang frowned, opened his mouth to ask, but swallowed it back.

It's just a maid, why should he care so much, as long as she can't do it, then it doesn't matter what she does or doesn't do.

When night fell, the lights were turned on in the study, and when the kitchen dinner was delivered, Xiao Jingtang was still looking at the accounts.

"Second young master, eat. A maid respectfully reminded him.

Looking up impatiently, Xiao Jingtang glanced at the table full of dishes, frowned, and said, "I don't have time to eat, just make a hamburger and send it." ”

The hamburger maid looked dazed and froze in place.

"What about gentleness?" the second young master said, "Just let her do it." ”

It was already time for her to rest. The maid whispered, "It's her during the day, and it's the slave and maid who come to serve at night." ”

The maid also has to work shifts, otherwise she will have to die of exhaustion. In the past, gentleness was free to serve at any time, but this time I was beaten, but I was honest, and I was on the right shift with her, so I came to serve when I should come, and I rested when I should rest.

"Serve all the dinner and let Gentleness make the burgers. The second young master snorted coldly: "The slaves and maids of the Xiao family have to listen to their master's orders during their rest time." ”

The maid was stunned for a moment, and quickly picked up her skirt and went out to call gentleness.

After listening to the instructions, Wen Wen didn't say much, went to the kitchen to do it, and then took it to Xiao Jingtang's house.

"Second Young Master, your burger. ”

"Hmm. ”

Still eating with her hand, taking a bite and tasting a familiar taste, Xiao Jingtang's frowning brows finally let go: "Just take it like this." ”

"Yes. This time he didn't resist, and he didn't say that he didn't wash his hands when he went to the toilet, but gently and respectfully took the three hamburgers and let him eat them all, and then he packed up his things and retreated.

The smell of fried meat and vegetables was still there, but the room was empty. Xiao Jingtang pursed his lips and continued to look at the account book in his hand, the candlesticks in the room flickered, and the shadows were reflected on the wall, but there were two.

When Shufang and Yansui came back, Wen Rou was humming a song and doing laundry.

Although it was summer, the water was cold in the end, and Gentle didn't care at all, and after washing, it was dried in the backyard. There are three rows of shelves in the backyard, all of which are already full.

"Master?!" Shu Fang was startled, and hurriedly went over to take the clothes in her hand and held her hand.

Cold.

"You...... The body is not well yet, and if you touch the cold water, you will fall into the root of the disease in the future!" Shu Fang was anxious: "Who asked you to do this?"

"It's okay, I can't hide anyway. He shrugged his shoulders and smiled softly: "It's good that you're back, you can help me, the firewood over there hasn't been chopped yet." ”

Leadsui's face turned green: "It's bad behind the clever words again, right?"

Qiaoyan said that the girl, although she is just a maid in the house, has a lot of connections in the house. There is a guard who looks at the side door outside, and Mama Li who is in charge of the food and clothing of the subordinates inside, it is too easy to put on small shoes behind people, and she can't catch anything wrong with her, once the second young master asks, it can be said that it was done by someone else, and it has nothing to do with her.

"That girl doesn't have a good brain, understand her. Gently shrugged: "Miss Du Er is in the mansion, she doesn't deal with it, and she can't get along with me, so what's the solution?"

"Do you still have to understand her?" Shu Fang gritted her teeth: "I really want to beat her!"

"If I can fight, do you think I will endure it?" Gentle laughter: "If you can fight, I won't tell her anything to understand or not, and I will fight to the death." ”

Shu Fang was stunned for a moment, feeling funny and sad, bowed her head to help her wash her clothes, and muttered: "How can I live this day?"

In life, the boat is naturally straight to the bridge, gentle and not worried at all, do your duty as a good maid every day, and wait for Xiao Jingtang's anger to slowly dissipate.

Second Young Master Xiao didn't seem to be a very grudge-holder, she didn't wait long, and he didn't target her anymore. After serving him to wash up that day, Xiao Jingtang also asked, "You were sent to do laundry?"

"Yes. ”

Frowning slightly, Xiao Jingtang was a little annoyed: "Your own body, you don't know?"

At this time, you dare to touch the cold water to do heavy work, what can you do in the future?

"People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. Wan Er smiled and said gently: "The second young master doesn't protect the slave maid, what can the slave and maid do?"

His face was a little gloomy, Xiao Jingtang let her dress herself better, pursed her lips and didn't speak.

At lunchtime, Qiao Yan received a message from Steward Xiao.

"Second Miss Du is lonely in the courtyard, the second young master means that you will go over and accompany you for two days first. ”

was talking and laughing with Mama Li, and when she heard this, her face sank: "Why me?"

Steward Xiao smiled kindly: "Probably you are the most reassuring to the young master." ”

Nicely said, wouldn't letting her go to another courtyard be tantamount to being snubbed in disguise? Qiao Yan's heart sank, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he only asked: "It was Du Shi who served the second young master in the morning?"

"The old slave didn't pay attention. Steward Xiao bowed his head, turned around and left, without revealing half a sentence.

However, there was no need for him to reveal it, Qiao Yan could know with a little questioning that it must have been what Du Wenrou said in front of Xiao Jingtang.

So after lunch, Gentleness was blocked outside the main courtyard.

"You framed me?"

Gently raised her eyebrows, looked at the girl in front of her calmly, and said, "What is this sudden crime? What did I frame you?"

Suppressing his temper, Qiao Yan's face distorted slightly: "What did you say in front of the second young master, so that he wanted to drive me to the other courtyard?"

"Second Young Master?" pretended to think about it seriously, and smiled softly: "I didn't say anything, he asked me if I went to do the laundry, I replied, and then I didn't say anything more." Could it be that because of this, your dignified second young master's maid in the room was actually going to be sent away?"

"......" The person who was still docile before suddenly became a thorn in his eyes, and Qiaoyan was a little stunned, and his eyes were not concealed, full of hostility: "You fox, confusing the second young master, just to harm me?"

"Miss Qiaoyan thought about it a lot. Shrugged gently: "I just don't want to wash clothes and chop firewood, the decision is made by the second young master, if you are dissatisfied, you can talk to the second young master." ”
