Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 3259 Grounded (three more)

The next morning, the rain was still falling, but it couldn't stop Yang Ruoqing and Xiao'an's trip.

With Aunt Osmanthus' entrustment in mind, and worries about her best friend Xiao Yu, Yang Ruoqing drove the carriage fast.

Starting from Tianma Maliang, without stopping all the way, finally arrived in Qing'an County in the afternoon.

"Xiao Yu hasn't come to our restaurant for more than half a month, and he hasn't sent a maid to deliver a message. It's probably because he was stuck in Ning's house and couldn't come out."

Fifth Aunt Bao Suyun brought a set of clean clothes for Yang Ruoqing to change into, and then boiled a bowl of brown sugar and ginger water to keep her out of the cold.

While Yang Ruoqing was sitting there drinking with a spoon, Bao Suyun was sitting beside her and talking to her.

"Your fifth uncle stuffed a small steward in charge of carriages and horses in the Ning family with some money to inquire. He said that the young mistress of the Ning family has been grounded in the backyard these days. Qinger, what does grounding mean?" Bao Suyun asked again. .

Grounded?

Yang Ruoqing's brows furrowed.

"The Ning family actually grounded Xiao Yu? This is a bit too much." She said.

"What is the grounding for?" Bao Suyun asked again.

Yang Ruoqing said: "It's just locked in a room in the backyard, and a range of activities has been circled for her, and she is not allowed to go to other places."

"What?" Bao Suyun was astonished.

"This person is not a beast, how could he do that? Besides, Xiao Yu is the daughter-in-law of the Ning family!" Bao Suyun said.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Mother and daughter are heart-to-heart, it seems that Aunt Osmanthus' worries have really come true."

Bao Suyun said: "Why did the Ning family ground Xiao Yu?"

Yang Ruoqing shook her head, "I don't know, I have to meet Xiao Yu and ask about it."

Bao Suyun said: "But, the Ning family won't let us in at all, it's hard to see Xiao Yu."

Yang Ruoqing said: "I have a solution."

……

After dinner, Xiao An talked to Uncle Wu for a while, then went back to bed.

Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt also rested, Yang Ruoqing pushed open the window, walked quietly along the rope from the window of the restaurant on the second floor to the street outside, the sky was still raining, almost no one was on the street, soon Came near the Ning family.

Ning's backyard.

In Xiaoyu's house, the lights in the outer room had long been extinguished, and only an orange melon-shaped palace lantern remained at the foot of the bed in the inner room.

The maid Rouzhi brought a bowl of sweet soup in front of Xiao Yu, "Young Madam, you haven't eaten or drank for two days, why don't you drink some sweet soup!"

Xiao Yu didn't take off her clothes, and she lay on the bed sideways, her eyes that were already dry from crying were fixed on the top of the tent.

Hearing Rouge's words, Xiao Yu shook her head, and her hoarse voice sounded low.

"Go and tell the old lady that instead of locking me up like this, not letting me go back to my natal home to visit my parents, not letting me meet my son, let alone contacting Ning Su, it's better to give me a glass of poisoned wine , Let me die."

"Young Madam, don't be angry..."

The maid Rouge said nervously, and glanced around, "The walls have ears, if someone who cares to hear these words, and spread it to the old lady with embellishments, it will be really troublesome!"

Xiao Yu sneered.

"So what? Is there a worse end than this? It's nothing more than that, right?" she murmured.

"What I want most now is to be dead. My body can be dealt with by the Ning family. My soul will turn into a bird, fly across thousands of mountains and rivers, and return to Changping Village..."

"Young madam, please stop talking..."

The maid Rouzhi knelt down in front of the bed, crying.

She is different from the other two maids serving in the house. She is the maid bought by the young lady and the young master when they were in Xiushui Town.

Because her parents died early, she lived with her unscrupulous uncle and aunt, and the shop opened by her uncle and aunt was disturbed by hooligans on the street.

Uncle and aunt sent her to be a concubine in order to please the leader of the hooligans.

Because she couldn't bear the torture of the hooligan, she escaped, and was caught by the hooligan leader again on the street.

It just so happened that the young master was free in the military camp that day, and he accompanied the young lady out for a tour of the mountains and rivers, and when he saw this scene, he rescued her.

From then on, she followed the young lady, Xiao Yu, wholeheartedly.

This time, the aunt of the young lady's natal family pushed the second aunt of the Ning family, and the second aunt had a miscarriage, and the catastrophe caused by the aunt implicated the young lady.

The young lady was disgusted by the master and the old lady, and she was punished to be grounded in the yard and face the wall to think about her mistakes.

The other maidservants who followed the young lady were all white-eyed wolves, and the way they looked at the young lady changed.

The other two were instigated by the masters of the house who were jealous of the young lady in the past, and criticized the young lady, and the young lady fell ill in a fit of rage.

Their masters and servants were not allowed to leave the courtyard for half a step, and the other maids who could leave the courtyard did not know whether they had reported the young lady's illness, so Yan Zhi also fell on the ground, crying so sadly.

Xiao Yu looked at Yan Zhi who was crying sadly on the ground, and struggled to sit up, "Don't cry, even if I die, I will try my best to find a way out for you with my last breath."

Xiao Yu took out a bulging purse from under the pillow and handed it to Rouge.

"Inside here is your deed of sale, and a silver note of 100 taels."

"If I can't do it, you can leave the Ning family with this deed of sale and the bank note. In the future, no matter whether you buy dozens of acres of land and sit and collect rent or something, it will keep you worry-free for the rest of your life."

"You, you must keep it properly, and don't let others deceive you." Xiao Yu urged.

Rouge cried even more heartbroken.

"The sky is falling and there is a tall man standing on top of it, you are all stopped by me, don't cry!"

A familiar and crisp voice suddenly sounded in the inner room, Rouge was taken aback, and Xiao Yu's eyes shone brightly.

"Qing'er?" she called out in a low voice.

"Hey, I'm here."

A familiar figure flashed behind the screen, and the next moment, the person came to the bed.

Xiao Yu was startled, and struggled to sit up, but she hadn't eaten for two days and had no strength at all.

Yang Ruoqing hurriedly said to Yan Zhi: "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and give me the sweet soup, and I'll feed her. Go and watch at the door, don't let anyone in."

Yan Zhi hadn't recovered from the shock, but she nodded quickly when she heard Yang Ruoqing's words.

He got up and wiped away his tears and went to guard the door of the house.

Yang Ruoqing took the sweet soup and turned to sit by the bed.

Xiao Yu said excitedly: "Qing'er, why did you come in?"

"Don't rush to ask, first drink the sweet soup to replenish your strength, and I will tell you the same thing later." Yang Ruoqing said.

Xiao Yu nodded obediently, and drank the sweet soup in the bowl to the last drop.

After drinking, Yang Ruoqing took out an oiled paper bag from the bottom of her sleeve, opened it, and inside were two rice flour cakes that were still warm. The cakes were as white as snow, and there was a bright red plum blossom mark in the middle.

"This is the rice noodle cake that your mother made herself. She said you like it. I asked the people in the restaurant to heat it up a little bit. The taste has not changed. Take a few bites." Yang Ruoqing said again.
