Red apricots make spring

Chapter 233 Gossip Maid
The servants carried Qingru ahead, and the two maidservants followed behind.

The young maid couldn't help but complained: "Sister Xiaorui, do you think Madam is too good-tempered? Let Qingru commit such a brutal crime, and she kindly persuaded her."

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Even you can understand what Madam is trying to persuade you. If Qing Ru doesn't understand, she will be so confused by phlegm that she won't even recognize a good heart!"

"Isn't it? Speaking of which, she has also stayed in the mansion for several years. She has always served the master. She knows all the rules and regulations, and she is strong. She has never made a single mistake. How can she think that she has such courage now, bullying him?" Get up, master." The little maid said, sighed and said: "After all, Madam is too sexual. If you want me to say, why do you still eat and drink like this? You should beat her and drive her out of the house. !"

"Xiaoyu——" Xiaorui glanced at her with a half-smile, raised her hand and pinched her cheek, and said, "I didn't realize that, you are young, but you are cruel enough!"

"What are you doing? It hurts!" Xiao Yu slapped Xiao Rui's hand, and muttered disapprovingly, "How can I be cruel? It's obvious that she is too hateful! The master treated us generously, even though he sold himself as a maid , but in the past, I have never treated us badly, and the daily work is also light, unlike those harsh people, who can't wait to split one servant into two orders, and there is no time to rest from morning till night. Speaking of , Our life is no worse than those girls from small families. Just for this, we should work hard to be good errands, right? We can't do it if we are as tricky and treacherous as her!"

"That's the way it is said, but everyone has their own way of life." Xiao Rui sighed and said: "You are still young, I don't know. Speaking of it, Sister Qingru's background is quite pitiful. She It's not like our family was so poor that we sold it in. We have a place to eat and dress, and the family can survive with money. After a few years, if we are old and want to leave the house, the master's family will not even have the money to redeem us. If you don't want to, let him go. Even if you want to stay in the mansion, you can make a good living with a servant. But she... Forget it, what are you doing chewing these tongues for nothing? Let her go!"

"Say it!" Xiaoyu grabbed Xiaorui's sleeve and begged, "Sister Xiaorui, don't be tricky, it makes people feel itchy. Just tell me, what's the point?"

Xiaorui hesitated for a moment, slowed down his pace, deliberately distanced himself from the person in front, and whispered: "I heard that Qingru's life is hard, and he killed his parents, grandparents, and grandparents when he was young!"

"Yeah—" Xiaoyu exclaimed.

"My relatives think her life is hard, and she is a girl, and no one is willing to take care of her. It just so happens that her aunt is pregnant, and there is no one to do the housework, and there is no money to buy a maid. Finally, I think that Qingru will grow up to be eight years old and can be half a child." The servant girl ordered her uncle to take her back and raise her."

"What happened next?" Xiao Yu urged.

"Later?" Xiaorui sighed, "Her uncle sent her to do all the cooking, laundry, spinning, and weaving at home, and her aunt liked to go out and fight with others, so she often left the children in her care." She worked day and night, and she was short of food and sleep. Once, she was cooking on the stove, and fell asleep sitting up. Burnt!"

"Just because of this?" Xiaoyu asked hurriedly.

Xiaorui nodded and said: "It's luck to be sold! Her aunt kept yelling that she had raised a white-eyed wolf, saying that Qingru deliberately wanted to trample the child to death, and wanted to get rid of her uncle. If it wasn't for the fact that her uncle still had a little heart and stopped her aunt, she would have been beaten to death long ago! But after this incident, her uncle's family could no longer tolerate her, and her aunt originally planned to sell her Goulan, everyone was taken out, and I happened to meet a neighbor on the way, who said that the mansion wanted to buy a maid, and the price was a lot of money, her aunt was tempted, so she sold her here and saved her life."

"So, if she leaves the mansion, she won't have anywhere to go?" Xiao Yu was moved with compassion.

"Yes." Xiao Rui continued: "The deed of sale signed by the mansion is for five years, and the rule is that when the time limit expires, ask your family members to ask, and if you want to take it out, you can send it back to the family. She was assigned to a servant or found a good family to marry. Do you think that Aunt Qingru would not pick up this off-the-shelf bargain? She must be taken out and resold again. At present, she will stay in the mansion for five years. It's been a year, so I guess it's time to rush, and these things happened."

"Then there's no need to do such a thing." Xiaoyu muttered, "I beg you, master, if you don't go out, it will be fine."

Xiao Rui shook his head and said: "The mansion has never done that kind of bullying. Qingru's uncle's family wants her to go out, how can she be detained here? But if I really ask, maybe the master will spend some more money. It's just that she has other thoughts in her heart..."

"What are you thinking?" After all, Xiaoyu was young, so she was ignorant after hearing this.

"You're stupid!" Xiao Rui raised her index finger, poked Xiao Yu's forehead hard, and said with a soft smile, "She has nothing to think about such an outstanding master like Master all day long?"

It was only then that Xiaoyu came to a sudden, "Oh".

"I think we should seldom talk about these things. Although Madam is good-natured, she is a sensible person. She is not blindly weak and bully, and we don't have to worry about her. From now on, as long as we do our best to do a good job, as time goes by, we will definitely be there." The benefits..." Xiao Rui was halfway through speaking, but saw the two young men who were carrying Qing Ru standing still in front of him, and looked up, it turned out that it was Lu Ce and Shen Mengan walking this way, so he quickly stopped , Wait for Lu Ce and the others to come over, and greet them with salutes.

"What's going on?" Lu Ce glanced at Qing Ru and asked.

"Sister Qingru fainted, madam told me to find a doctor quickly!" Xiao Yu remembered when she was replying, she and Xiao Yu were talking too excitedly, and she forgot that she should go out to find a doctor halfway, so Bai followed the boy After walking for half a day, a look of annoyance immediately appeared on their faces.

"Ma'am?" Lu Ce pondered for a while, and immediately understood why Qing Ru fainted outside instead of staying in the house, so he nodded and said, "You guys go."

Shen Mengan followed Lu Ce and walked forward. Thinking of his "madam", she couldn't help feeling sour, and couldn't help but sneered: "This man has not been married yet, and even called his wife? Brother Lu, you are too Shameless!"

Lu Ce glanced at him, and said leisurely, "If I remember correctly, Zhuo Jing went to cook at your house on the Ninth Prince's birthday, and you were there when the Holy Spirit saw you, right?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Meng'an's face immediately turned pale, and she only let out a "hum" from her nasal cavity, so annoyed that she couldn't even speak.How could he not know that Lu Ce was reminding him in a disguised form that Rourou has been a member of the Lu family since that day?It wasn't this matter that made him feel stuck the most, but that it was his idea to hold a banquet on the lake to entertain the Ninth Prince, and he was the one who forced him to cook the gentleness. Who would have thought that it would be Lu Ce who finally embraced the beauty? The bastard!He couldn't help being angry and depressed.

Neither of the two was pleasing to the eye, and they walked in silence all the way, but Lu Ce is someone who can keep silent for a day, but Shen Mengan couldn't hold back anymore, and said angrily, "Where do you plan to arrange for me to live?"

"Wait for the Moon Pavilion."

Shen Mengan turned her head and thought for a while, then reluctantly said: "Beside your Linfengxuan?"

"Yes." Lu Ce nodded, and said lightly, "It's rare for Shen Shidi to come, so I have to do my best to be a landlord. Live closer to me, so it's convenient to take care of me."

"Come on less! You're not so kind!" Shen Mengan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Where does Gentle live?"

Lu Ce raised his eyebrows slightly, and answered truthfully, "Wutong Xuan."

"Phoenix in Wutong..." Shen Meng'an's expression became weird, and he glanced at Lu Ce with complicated eyes and said, "Are you really attracted to her? She even let her live in Wutong Pavilion."

"Why, do you have an opinion?" Lu Ce remained calm.

The Holy Majesty nodded and agreed to their marriage, opinions are useless!Shen Mengan clenched his fists tightly, and really wanted to punch Lu Ce in the face, but he knew that he was definitely not Lu Ce's opponent when it came to fighting, so he held back with self-knowledge in the end, and muttered: "I live here You must keep it a secret."

"I won't tell the outside world, but I can't keep the people in the house from spreading the word." Lu Ce lowered his eyes and muttered, "Besides, it's too easy for the princess to find you. Unless you run out of the capital, I'm afraid you won't be able to hide. .”

"All right, all right, don't bother me anymore." Shen Mengan said impatiently: "I just want my ears to be quiet, and I can hide for a day!" Then, he complained angrily: "What's the matter? First, my younger sister was called home by my father, crying and making troubles all day long, even my mother followed suit, arguing with my father all day long. Then Princess An Ning also had a falling out with the Holy Majesty, and she left the palace angrily and came to live with me , I don’t know what those hidden guards in the palace are doing, they didn’t take her back! Even the Holy Majesty let her mess around outside..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something, stopped, looked at Lu Ce in a blink of an eye, and said bitterly, "It's all you! Without you, there would be nothing like this at all!"

Lu Ce smiled lightly and said, "If you regret living here and seeing me often, you can leave right now."

Shen Mengan was choked up by him, flicked his sleeves angrily, and walked forward quickly.

Lu Ce shook his head slightly, and followed behind unhurriedly.
