Chapter 118 Eating BBQ Meat (3)
"Since Miss said so...then..."

Qiaoyue finally seemed to be persuaded by An An, and her attitude relaxed a little.

"Then stop talking so much nonsense, hurry up and eat!"

An'an handed Qiaoyue a piece of barbecue that had already been prepared by the side.
Her eyes were fixed on Qiao Yue's next move.

"Ah."

Qiaoyue agreed, then put aside all the tweaks and worries in her heart, imitated An An just now, took a deep breath, and then bit down.

An indescribable delicious taste instantly spread in Qiaoyue's mouth. The taste is very special, as if all the meat in the world has been bitten into her mouth at this moment, and suddenly there is a kind of taste that has never been seen before. It was as if Qiaoyue's pride and cowardice and cautiousness in her heart had disappeared temporarily.

Qiaoyue closed her eyes unconsciously, and kept chewing on the barbecue, but pictures of her in the prime minister's mansion in the past emerged in her mind...

At that time, she was taken by her mother-in-law into the compound of a wealthy family along with a large group of girls of similar age.

Everyone lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at others casually. The mother-in-law said that it would be rude, and then no one would buy them.

At that time, she didn't have a name yet, just because she was the third one to be sent to her mother-in-law, so her mother-in-law always called her—Xiao San'er.

At that time, she stood in front of the master's house with a group of little girls, waiting for her fate with deep anxiety in her heart.

At that time, she actually had no confidence at all that she would be favored by this seemingly dignified and powerful family, and then she would buy it.

However, Qiaoyue felt that maybe the heavens also took pity on her miserable life experience (since the day she was born, her own parents died because of an out-of-control carriage falling off a cliff, and when she was young, she was sent to her However, the situation at the aunt’s house was not optimistic, and she was finally forced to sell her to the matchmaker.), obviously her appearance was not particularly outstanding among a group of little girls, she was ordinary-looking, silently bowed her head and said nothing She, who didn't have much hope, was chosen by the head of the family, and then stayed in the prime minister's mansion.

When the screen changed, the little girl, because she had just entered the prime minister's mansion, those maids who had stayed in the prime minister's mansion for a long time, were always finding faults and making things difficult for her, a lowly newcomer, she was also foolish. Without saying a word, let them order.

What's even more exaggerated is that many times, the work was clearly assigned to them by the superiors, but they just pushed it to her who didn't understand anything.I still remember one time, when the prime minister asked them to clean the hall, they used the excuse of being unwell, and pushed all of them on her as usual. She was clumsy, and accidentally pushed the emerald screen in the middle of the hall, breaking it. land……

The little girl was terrified by this sudden accident. The jade screen looks very valuable, and it is placed in the center of the hall. The owner should like it very much, right?She broke like this... What will happen?
As a little girl, the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Uneasy and at a loss, she could only think of finding help from those big maids who always took pleasure in bullying her, and to solve the problem. method.

The big maids were silent after hearing what she said, and then she saw that they forced out some comforting smiles, and said to her gently for the first time: "It's okay, that job was originally done by all of us together. Yes, even if something is accidentally broken, everyone is responsible, and it is impossible to push it all on you alone and let you alone be punished."

"But..." Another big maid stood up unconvinced, and was about to say something, but was stopped by others.

"There is nothing but, if something goes wrong, we should bear the consequences together."

When she was a little girl at that time, after hearing these words, her heart was really filled with many, many touches and shocks. She naively thought that these big sisters didn't have any particularly bad intentions at all. She misunderstood. In fact, apart from sending her to work, they didn't seem to have caused her any serious harm. You see, she made such a big mistake this time, and they were all willing to bear the consequences with her.

Before, maybe they were just joking with her to train her, right?

At that time, when she was little, she didn't know what "unpredictable intentions" meant, and she didn't know what "the world is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change".

They didn't take much care of her on weekdays, how could they help her when she was in danger, and advance and retreat together?
So, she didn't know that after she left with a little peace of mind, those big maids got together and discussed how to put all the blame on her alone without being implicated. Just said that, just In order to stabilize her for the time being, not to let her tell the housekeeper in the prime minister's mansion about their collective laziness.

You know, they skipped work collectively and were lazy. If they were exposed, according to the rules of the Prime Minister's Mansion, they would not be able to escape the end of being severely punished.

So, that night, until she was involuntarily dragged by a group of servants in the prime minister's mansion to the outer court to play the board, she didn't realize how come they, who had clearly agreed to take responsibility together in the day, were all together at the moment. How about watching her being beaten indifferently without saying a word?
That day, it rained heavily, and the rain changed from a drizzle at the beginning to a heavy rain like small stones one after another, hitting her skin that was growing more and more painful because of the pain one after another. The face that looked pale and bloodless was very painful and cold, not only physically, but also in the heart. At that time, she clearly realized that she was cheated by them.

Later, she grew up little by little, found a way to protect herself little by little, and was never bullied again because of her ignorance.

At the same time, it may be too mellow, she no longer has any ambition and temper, like a string that has been taut for a long time, she almost doesn't know what the original arrogance is like feeling. (It's sad, isn't it? But that is her only choice to protect herself from beginning to end in the Prime Minister's Mansion.)
Qiaoyue suddenly felt that she was too cowardly in the past, she suddenly felt that the former self lived a life of aggrieved, useless, and without dignity.

Now Qiaoyue feels that the arrogance that was lost at the beginning seems to be awakened in her chest again. She suddenly feels that she can actually live without being so wronged. She can also have her own opinions and opinions on some things. ideas.

Qiaoyue, who somehow gained a little more courage, finally swallowed the last mouthful, then opened her closed eyes again, looked at An An, her young lady, and smiled gratefully .

"Miss, the barbecue is really delicious. It's really good." Really, thank you very much, thank you for letting me find my lost self.

Qiaoyue quietly added in the bottom of her heart.

"As long as it's delicious, then, Qiaoyue, tell me again, don't you feel different when you eat barbecue with chopsticks in the plate just now? Do you feel very refreshing and domineering?" the feel?"

After hearing Qiaoyue's evaluation, An An hurriedly continued to ask.

In fact, An An has already noticed that when Qiaoyue opened her eyes just now, her expression seemed to be a little different from before, and she didn't know how to describe it, anyway, she felt it intuitively, at this moment Qiaoyue Yue, Ying seemed to be a little less cowardly, a little more confident, and a little more... the vigor of a girl at her age.

"Well, yes." Qiaoyue nodded honestly. Winning or losing is no longer important to her. Now Qiaoyue can bravely face the lady standing in front of her, everyone, and the future belongs to her. life is over.

She is very grateful to her young lady, who gave her an answer to the confusion she had been unwilling to explain, and gave her a clearer direction and goal for her increasingly confused future.

It's like a small boat drifting on the deep sea in the dark, finally meeting the lighthouse of fate, the road ahead has a direction again, and it is no longer confused day after day.

"Haha! Let me just say it! Qiaoyue, you lost!"

An An got Qiaoyue's affirmative answer, happily raised a smug smile, laughed out loud, and by the way, did not forget to remind Qiaoyue of the fact that she lost.

"Yes, miss, I lost."

Qiaoyue is helpless, if she loses, she loses, why is her lady so happy?In fact, if you want to order her to do something, you can just ask her directly. After all, as the dowry maid of the young lady, she can't refuse.

However, her young lady wants to settle the matter through a bet to make her more willing?

"Hee hee! Then I will fulfill my promise not long ago and punish you! Oh ho ho ho ho..."

An An looked at Qiaoyue with a helpless face, and said this in a shy voice.

"Well, what request do you have, miss, just ask it!"

Qiaoyue raised her eyes and looked at An An without blinking, waiting for what she wanted her to agree to, what was it?
"Well, Qiaoyue, Miss Ben wants you to return to the prime minister's residence again."

An An restrained the smug smile on her pretty face just now, straightened her expression, put on a rare serious look, and said to Qiao Yue.

"Ah?" What?Back to the prime minister's mansion again?Miss, are you trying to drive her away? !
