Chapter 374 Lu Mingya Receives the Boxed Lunch (2)
Lu Mingya was furious in her heart, she didn't feel any pain when her nails were embedded in her flesh, she managed to suppress the anger and unwillingness in her heart, and said in a hoarse voice: "What are you two talking about outside, come in soon! "

After a while, Du Juan and Shao Yao came in one after the other. Shao Yao was still holding a food box in her hand. Both of them had red eyes, but their faces were disheveled. As masters, they only have that kind of food to eat. As servants, can they eat better than Lu Mingya?
As soon as Du Juan came in, he forced a smile and said: "When did the master wake up, why didn't you call the servant?" As he spoke, he stepped forward and carefully helped Lu Mingya sit up, and put a big pillow behind her .

It was such a simple movement that still made Lu Mingya sweat so much that her forehead was sweating in pain, and the stars burst out in front of her eyes. After taking several breaths, she said weakly: "Did the people in the big kitchen get mad at you again?"

Hearing this, Du Juan and Shao Yao looked at each other, the circles of their eyes became redder, Shao Yaoyin forced a smile and said: "It's just a few cold words, it's no big deal, the servant can bear it, the servant is just wronged for the master, such a meal , the most inferior woman in the mansion usually doesn’t eat it, how can I give it to the master, the princess is too ruthless, and so is your highness, a husband and wife repay a hundred days of grace, let alone the master followed him quickly It's been two years, His Highness's heart is more ruthless than the princess's..."

While talking, he took out the food from the food box, but there was a plate of green vegetables and a plate of tofu. The leaves of the green vegetables were all yellow, and the tofu smelled rancid. There was also a bowl of rice. It can be concluded that it is made of the most inferior rice, and there are even a few grains of mouse droppings on it. Indeed, the status of the most inferior woman in the Second Prince's Mansion would not be so bad.

Shaoyao said, tears finally couldn't help dripping on the plate of green vegetables, seeing Du Juan's eyes, she couldn't help covering her mouth, sobbing silently, and then said in a choked voice after a while: "Master, this can't be done, you The body is already weak, let alone nourishing it now, even the stomach is not full, if this continues, the servants are really worried..."

Lu Mingya didn't cry, her tears had already dried up, not to mention if crying could solve the problem, how could she end up like this?She said dumbly: "Okay, both of you, don't cry, the big kitchen doesn't give us good food, we have to figure it out on our own, I still don't believe that some people think money is hot!"

Order Du Juan: "Go and open my box, take 100 taels of silver first, and try to bribe the porter to quietly send us a stove and some rice, meat and vegetables. People found out, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

Du Juan didn't expect that the two of them didn't need to speak, Lu Mingya had already proposed that they try to bribe the concierge to bring in the stove and ingredients, she couldn't help being overjoyed, she quickly bowed her knees and went to work.

Du Juan is also capable, and of course the more important thing is to have money to clear the way. That night, the three of them, master and servant, ate fresh meals that had not been seen for a long time. The black chicken soup was served hot the next morning for Lu Mingya to drink.

Lu Mingya's treatment of Du Juan and Shaoyao in the past could not be considered too bad, but it was definitely not good either, because the two of them did not serve her as a child, but were just third-class maids in Mrs. Lu's house. The old man personally ordered her to be sent to Dajue Temple. Her nanny and several personal servant girls who served the children were all sold out by the old man on the grounds that they did not know how to persuade the master. After she caught up with the Second Prince and returned to the Duke's Mansion, there was no one to serve her, so the Second Madam Lu sent the two third-class maids in her room, namely Du Juan and Shaoyao, to her side. Bring them in together.

So even though the two are called her dowry maids, she also relies heavily on them, but it is inevitable that she is a little less sincere. The servant girl who scolded her, but still never leave her after she fell into trouble, even if they are her dowry maids after all, it is rare that they will end up worse without her up.

Therefore, Lu Mingya's attitude towards Du Juan and Shaoyao was much better than before. After she drank the chicken soup, she not only said "hard work" to the two for the first time, but also strictly ordered them to share the remaining chicken soup. Weakness needs nourishment, so why don't they need it?
The relationship between the master and the servant has grown by leaps and bounds for a while, and there is a feeling of being dependent on each other.

After five or six days like this, Lu Mingya's health improved a lot, and the complexions of Du Juan and Shao Yao also looked ruddy, and they finally got through the most difficult time.

This day was Shaoyao's 17th birthday. Lu Mingya didn't know it at first, but it was Du Juan who accidentally slipped her tongue when serving her soup, so she found out, and immediately rewarded Shaoyao with a pair of red gold twisted silk bracelets, Not to mention a pair of golden lilac earrings, but also ordered Du Juan to cook a few dishes in the evening and boil a pot of wine, and they celebrated Shaoyao's birthday together.

Seeing that Lu Mingya was rarely happy, Du Juan didn't want to spoil her interest, so she obliged. In the evening, she cooked four small dishes and boiled a pot of wine and brought them to Lu Mingya's room.

Lu Mingya has become more and more dependent on Dujuan and Shaoyao these days, and since today is Shaoyao's birthday, she intends to buy people's hearts and make the second maidservant treat her more desperately, so she orders them to sit with her, and the three master and servant eat vegetables and drink wine, okay? Happy, until the sound of the midnight drum, Lu Mingya fell asleep in a daze.

It is rare for Heitian to wake up until dawn. Lu Mingya opened her eyes and felt an indescribable ease and comfort all over her body. While stretching, she called out: "Dujuan, Shaoyao, I'm awake, you guys Come in……"

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly froze, because the person she was stretching touched a warm object, she hurriedly turned her head to look, and immediately sat up in fright.

It was a man in his twenties, although he was not very handsome, he was quite upright, but he was not the only second prince who could justly lie on her bed in this life, but another man she didn't know!

Lu Mingya's mind went blank. She didn't understand why when she woke up, there was a strange man on her bed for no reason. The only thing she could be sure of was that she was being plotted against. If someone broke in and saw her, even if she jumped into the Yellow River, she wouldn't be able to clean herself up!
She hurriedly lowered her voice and called out to the man: "Who are you, wake up, wake up—" It's a pity that the man didn't respond after calling a few times, so she had to push him up again.

There was still no response, Lu Mingya couldn't help becoming more anxious, after thinking about it, she decided to go find Du Juan and Shao Yao immediately, no matter what, get that man out of her bed first!
