Divine Doctor's Daughter: The Imperial Concubine

Chapter 11

When Chu Ruoying arrived at the courtyard, she saw several rows of maids standing neatly in the courtyard, wearing clean clothes, all of them lowered their heads, pretending to be cute.

Mrs. Ye was sitting in the front hall, and the servants had already served tea swiftly. Seeing her come out, she put down the teacup, and walked towards her with a gentle smile, "Ying'er, mother specially selected some girls with good hands and feet, you Seeing to pick some well-behaved and sensible ones first, there are more people around, and mother can feel more at ease."

A taunt flashed across Chu Ruoying's eyes very quickly. Eyeliner was arranged around her, so she should be relieved, but her voice was so calm and gentle that no one could notice, "Ying'er thanked Madam , Madam is really thoughtful."

Chu Ruoying turned around and smiled softly, pointing with her plain hand, said to Li Xia and Gu Yu who had been sizing up the courtyard for a long time: "Li Xia, Gu Yu, you two go up and check."

Gu Yu first went forward and carefully selected a few girls with good looks, and watched the quieter girls bring them to Li Xia, but Li Xia carefully looked at their hands one by one, the nails were long, indicating that they were lazy. Those who like leisure and work hard, and those with stained nails show that they don't like to be clean. They pick and choose, and in the end there are four or five girls left.

Chu Ruoying turned her eyes sideways, and quickly looked at Madam Ye who was sitting on the side drinking tea, faint ripples appeared on her lips, her eyes like light water were extraordinarily clear, she turned her head and said to Madam Ye beside her: " That's all."

Mrs. Ye looked at the servant girl in front of her and nodded her head. There was a glint of success in her eyes, but she had a gentle smile on her face, which seemed to have a bit of love. She took a step forward and said seriously: "Since you have been chosen by the eldest lady, Now, I will take good care of the eldest lady in the future, and if the eldest lady makes a mistake, I will ask you."

"Yes, ma'am." The maidservants in front of her said in unison, and then stood aside.

After Mrs. Ye left with the others, the front hall suddenly became quiet, and a few maids stood in a corner, and the suddenly quiet atmosphere made them feel a little uneasy.

Chu Ruoying sat on the chair and looked at the girls in front of her, her expression was not as gentle as before, she didn't say much, she waved them back, then turned her head to Li Xia and Gu Yu and said, "These people, You look at the arrangement, first put them all in the outer courtyard, if there are any irregularities, they will be sent away."

"The servant knows."

Early the next morning, Chu Ruoying was woken up by a loud noise. She frowned slightly and was in a trance. When she came to her senses, the noise in the courtyard still didn't stop.

Lifting the curtain and getting off the bed, looking at the empty room with a frown, Chu Ruoying took out a light blue dress embroidered with lotus flowers from the closet, picked up a tassel on the dressing table, and loosened it Just walked out the door.

"What are you doing?" Chu Ruoying stood in front of the door and looked at the noisy people in the courtyard, and said coldly.

"Miss, the Li Xia around you is too much. The slave girl is doing something, Li Xia came over and scolded me." A maid who just arrived yesterday saw her coming out, and quickly stepped forward. After talking about it again.

"Miss, it was she who wanted to sneak into the inner courtyard, and Li Xia taught her a lesson." Seeing this, Gu Yu immediately stepped forward angrily and said.

Hearing this, Chu Ruoying glanced at the little maid in front of her with a half-smile, and said in a gentle voice, "Which courtyard did you serve in?"

"Back to Miss, my name is Qing Dai, I was originally in Madam's yard." Seeing Miss's gentle voice, the little maid expected that she must have believed her a little bit, so she couldn't help but feel a little more confident.

"Oh, from Madam's yard?" Chu Ruoying raised her eyebrows, with a dangerous gleam in her eyes, and said slowly.

Without looking at Qing Dai, Chu Ruoying said indifferently: "Qing Dai doesn't distinguish between superiority and inferiority, she slaps her lips twenty times, and from today she will be reduced to a third-class maidservant."

"I don't accept it!" Qing Dai was taken aback when she heard the words, and then shouted loudly.

"Dissatisfied?" Chu Ruoying shifted her eyes to her lightly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, as if a poppy was blooming, which made people tremble in their hearts, "A mere second-class maid, arguing with Li Xia on her own initiative, what is her duty?" If you don’t do well, you still want to do things on your behalf, and you dare to call yourself ‘I’, and you still don’t know how to repent!” Dressed in light blue clothes, she felt a little more dignified in the morning light, and her voice was very soft, but it made people feel fearful , "If I don't punish you, a girl like you who has no dignity or inferiority and acts sloppy, if it spreads, it will make people think that this young lady is not good at disciplining servants."

Qingdai heard that Chu Ruoying did not intend to forgive her, and even wanted to increase the punishment, and immediately said loudly: "Miss, the servant was just sent over by the lady yesterday, and today I am punishing the servant, I am afraid that it is because of the feelings for the lady and the lady. unfavorable."

A cold light flashed in Chu Ruoying's eyes, she was threatening her, she looked at Qing Dai coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Presumptuous! How can my wife and I hurt our relationship because you are a mere slave? Madam sent you here, you Now she is the girl of my Sheng Junior Court!"

Chu Ruoying raised her hand to support the hairpin on her head, looked at Qing Dai who had turned pale and stopped talking, and said coldly, "Qing Dai will sow discord, and hit another twenty boards!"

When Qing Dai heard the words, she knelt on the ground trembling immediately, with sweat dripping from her forehead, she hastily stretched out her hand and slapped her cheek, "It's because I don't know how to repent, because I know I'm wrong."

"Yeah." Chu Ruoying withdrew her gaze, looked sharply at the other people kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "Let's go away, if you make such mistakes again in the future, you'll just sell it to someone else."

"Miss, if you deal with Qing Dai like this, nothing will happen." Gu Yu asked softly.

Chu Ruoying smiled lightly and said, "Silly girl, Qing Dai belongs to the madam, she is not good at things, and she caused trouble when she first came to my Sheng junior courtyard. I respect my aunt, so I only demoted her to a third-class maid. What can happen?" Something happened?" It happened, because she belonged to Madam, I never severely punished her, if it got out, Madam should be responsible for it because of emotion and reason, otherwise it means that I don't know how to discipline others
Hearing this, Gu Yu came to a sudden realization, "It's the servant who is stupid."

After Chu Ruoying returned to the house, Qing Dai was dragged to execution, and when Qing Dai was carried back, the little girl in the yard turned pale with fright after just one glance.

The underside of the dress was soaked in blood, the originally fair cheeks were also red and swollen, and the corners of the mouth were bleeding, making it impossible to see the original appearance clearly.
