Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 188
"I'm not well. I really can't serve the prince. After I go to the side room to rest, you can work harder and serve the prince." Xie Ruitong also had no choice but to act. Who made her afraid of the fifteenth prince?

Lian Yin blushed, kowtowed hurriedly and said: "The servant is willing to share the worries of the master, but the prince himself said that he wants the master to serve him, and the servant is breaking the rules."

"Don't worry, I'll talk to the lord." Xie Ruitong couldn't help but sarcastically smiled when she saw her maid's impatient look.

I'm afraid that after tonight, this servant girl will fall into the ice cellar with peace of mind and won't be able to laugh anymore.

Even myself, I never thought that the gentle and handsome Fifteenth Prince would be so cruel and terrifying in private.

Without further ado, Xie Ruitong went to the side room, called a maid who ran errands to pass the message to the next door, and the fifteenth prince nodded.She just lay down with peace of mind, why not do it if someone else suffers for her?
She dismissed the maids and women in the yard and told them to retreat far away, so as not to let people know that she would send the maids around her to the prince's bed the next day after passing through the door, which would be a bit embarrassing.

Xie Ruitong closed her eyes, she was tired after all, and fell asleep again in a daze.

Occasionally, she was startled awake by the screams from the next door, and she turned over, half asleep and half awake, and did not wake up from a trance until the sky was bright.

The courtyard was quiet, Xie Ruitong remembered that he had dismissed everyone, and Lianyin went to serve the prince again, now that he might not be able to get up, how could he serve her.

She tidied up casually, put on her robe, and opened the door, only to see a thick old woman dragging her things out.

Xie Ruitong was taken aback for a moment, and then saw Long Zhiyu coming out, already fully dressed, with his nanny beside him.

The nanny saluted her respectfully, and said with a smile: "The concubine's body is not well, she should rest, why did she get up so early?"

Xie Ruitong originally pretended to be ill to avoid it, and didn't even dare to put on makeup, for fear that Long Zhiyu would see his flaws. Now, with a bit of weak paleness, he murmured: "I'm worried that Lianyin doesn't know the rules. I waited on you last night. The prince didn't put his heart into it, so he couldn't help but get up and take a look."

It was only then that the nanny remembered that Lianyin was the big maid beside her, and Xie Ruitong didn't even have a maid to serve her grooming, so she hurriedly apologized: "It's the negligence of the servants, I picked a few smart maids originally. I just wait for the master to have a look over these two days, and pick one or two that suit my heart and put them in the yard to serve."

Xie Ruitong didn't see Lianyin, thinking that she might not be able to get up on the bed at all, and couldn't even move her fingers, so she nodded and said: "That's okay, there are not many waiters in the yard, please trouble the nanny to bring them here."

The nurse quickly responded, and Long Zhiyu smiled, obviously having a good time last night: "That girl is not bad, but unfortunately she is a little weaker."

Xie Ruitong was stunned for a moment, she didn't dare to look at him, she lowered her head and said in a low voice: "The servants in the mansion are all bought when they are five or six years old, and raised in the yard. My mother treats the servants kindly, never harsh, every one of them Well-raised, it is no stronger than a woman who sweeps outside."

Ordinary maids don't get this kind of treatment, but when Lianyin bought it, she was sweet-mouthed and would come to work. Within two years, she went to work in Mrs. Xie's yard. Unlike ordinary maids, her food was much finer. The bones of the body are also much better than other maids.

But Long Zhiyu said that Dao Lianyin was weak, so it can be seen that he was not as sympathetic to a maid as he was to her.

He nodded slightly noncommittal: "Let Mammy choose a few capable maidservants for you, all bought from outside, if Tong'er doesn't like it, just ask someone to bring some in."

After all, Long Zhiyu Shi Shi ran away, and the nanny came back with the reward not long after, followed by a row of maids, all of whom were as beautiful as green onions.

Xie Ruitong looked at the dazzling rewards, and Long Zhiyu was not stingy about money.

Just looking at the row of maidservants, she casually ordered the four most beautiful ones to keep.They were overjoyed, with longing on their faces, they were probably looking forward to staying by Long Zhiyu's side.

Xie Ruitong sneered, with these people around, she could relax a bit.

All of them are charming and enchanting. If Mrs. Xie was here, they would all be kicked out in one go.

But she wished that these foxes would pester Long Zhiyu so that she could feel more comfortable.

After the nanny left, Xie Ruitong asked two of the maids to tidy up next door, but they came out and said, "Master, the room has already been tidied up."

Xie Ruitong went in and took a look, it really looked brand new, even the bedding had been changed, apparently Long Zhiyu ordered the nanny to do it.

But from beginning to end, she couldn't see Lianyin.

Xie Ruitong's face suddenly became ugly. If she read it correctly, there was a bit of fabric exposed from the mat that the woman was dragging. Could it be the dress Lianyin wore last night?

There was no life in the straw mat, not even a sound.There was a large stain on the mat, which she thought was caused by the dust on the ground.Now that I think about it, where is the stain, it is clearly dried blood!

Xie Ruitong shivered violently, there was a letter from Xie's mansion delivered by a maid over there.

She looked casually and frowned.

Mrs. Xie came again to urge herself to pay some money to tide over the difficulties for the Xie family.Indeed, once the Xie family collapsed, he would be homeless.

After thinking about it, the prince was generous, everything he sent was a treasure, and it would be valuable to take it out, but she didn't dare to sell it.

Putting the banknotes in the dressing box into a brocade box, Xie Ruitong called the maid to send them to Xie's mansion.

"Wait, ask Xie's mansion to send four maids, just saying that there are not enough people in my yard to serve." She thought of Long Zhiyu's cruelty, and he lost Lianyin in one night, and there were only a few around her. Maid, it will be my turn soon.Those outside are always involved with family members, and most of those who entered Xie's mansion were orphans, which was convenient.

Mrs. Xie received the bank note, and she would not agree to such a small request from Xie Ruitong.

Besides, the money in the mansion has been reduced again and again, and those maids don't spend any money, and it is still a big sum.Selling it at will, those people who spread the word may think that the Xie family is going to collapse, and they can't even support the maids.

She picked out eight or nine servant girls in one go and sent them to the palace.

The news that Xie's mansion was making a fuss about sending people from home to the palace soon reached Xie Yanniang's ears.

She laughed mockingly, it seems that Xie Ruitong has seen what the real fifteenth prince looks like, will he cling to him as desperately as before?

Xie Yanniang can see clearly what kind of intentions she has in wanting a maid from Xie's mansion now.

Xueyan was surprised, and muttered: "The palace is so big, it's easy to buy a few maids, why did the eldest girl ask Xie's family to send someone there, maybe even the maids in the palace are not used to it."

Thinking about the pretentiousness of the maids in the palace, even if they are slaves, they are still servants of the emperor's relatives, their eyes may grow to their foreheads, and it is possible to keep calling them around.

Xue Ling also agreed that the maids in her mansion should be more trustworthy.

Xie Yanniang didn't tell the two about Long Zhiyu's true temperament, so as not to frighten them.

Snow Goose quickly brought a basket of small ruddy fruits from the kitchen, only the size of a thumb, and after washing, the water beads still fell on it. It looked so delicate and charming, which made people very appetizing: "This is a newly sent fruit. the fruit, the cook asked the servants to bring it over for the girl to taste."

Xie Yanniang was delighted when she saw it, she couldn't wait to stuff one into her mouth, the sweet and sour taste made her squint her eyes with joy.

Seeing her eating happily, Xueyan couldn't help but also smiled: "If the girl likes it, I will ask the kitchen to save more, and I will wash it and send it over here tomorrow."

Seeing that Xie Yanniang ate so much and fast, Xue Ling couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Miss, wait a little bit, this fruit can't be eaten as a meal, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it later."

Xie Yanniang also felt that she was very greedy, but the taste of this fruit was really pleasing, so she couldn't help but eat one after another.

In less than a moment, she ate half of the basket of fruit.

Seeing that she was only focused on eating bitterly, Xue Ling was afraid that Xie Yanniang would choke, so she quickly asked: "Miss, what kind of fruit is this, this servant has never seen it before?"

Xueyan also nodded and agreed: "That's right, the servants have seen it, but they can't call out their names."

Xie Yanniang finally stopped the movement of her hands when she heard the two talking, and said with a smile: "This is called Li Guo, of course you haven't seen it before, after all, it's only found in a forest at the border between the Qing Kingdom and the Rong people."

Xue Ling was stunned, but Xue Yan clapped her hands and laughed: "Young lady is really knowledgeable, she even knows the name of such a small fruit, I really admire you."

Xie Yanniang was taken aback, and stared down at the fruit in her hand.She has never been to the border town, how would she know the name of this fruit?

But the name of this fruit seemed to be deeply embedded in his mind, almost blurting out.

She forced a smile and said: "I also heard it from hearsay, so I don't think it's true. I'll ask the cook what the name of this fruit is."

Xueyan was sure that what Xie Yanniang said was right, she had a simple mind, and she really went to ask the cook, but she didn't dare to tell Xie Yanniang when she came back, and secretly whispered to Xueling: "Sister, the cook said it was a wild fruit, they call it a wild fruit. Hongguo, it's not Liguo, I've never heard of it."

Xue Ling thought that Xie Yanniang had never been to the border town, so she might have heard it mentioned by someone else, so it was only natural that she misremembered it: "The girl likes to be called Li Guo, so she should be called Li Guo, but it's just a name."

Xueyan nodded: "Li fruit sounds much better than red fruit, but the regent is so strange, why did people send all these wild fruits back from thousands of miles away?"

"My lord's thoughts, how can we maidservants guess?" Xue Ling nodded her forehead, and then said: "You can't talk nonsense in front of outsiders, and if you offend your lord, you will have to mess with me." Hit with a stick."

Xueyan shrank her neck timidly, covered her mouth with one hand, and her face was full of panic.

Xue Ling was funny, and was about to comfort her, when suddenly she heard a noise coming from the house, she hurried in, seeing Xie Yanniang's precarious appearance, her face turned pale with fright: "Girl——"

She hurried forward to help Xie Yanniang to the couch, and asked with concern: "Miss, do you want to invite the doctor over?"
