good meal

Chapter 434
The old lady sneered, but didn't dare speak up.

"Go down first, and take care of her over there so that she doesn't run around, and don't hold her tight when eating and clothing." Mrs. Xiong confessed, "If she doesn't obey orders, it's okay to give her something to eat."

After the mother-in-law retreated, Mrs. Xiong went to the study to discuss with her husband.

At this end, Chu Liangrao had already had dinner, she raised her eyes to look at the two selected maids, they all looked upright and behaved honestly.After asking their names, one was Haitang and the other Yingluo, which sounded nice, so Chu Liangrao didn't change their names.

Mother Du told them the rules in front of Chu Liangrao.

"Mom, let's stop here today." Chu Liangrao said, "I'm a little tired."

Hearing this, the two servant girls hurriedly saluted and left, while Mama Du stepped forward and asked, "The Princess must be exhausted, do you want to ask the doctor to come and see?"

"No need." Chu Liangrao shook his head slightly, and said, "Take care of Lilac, don't say anything wrong with her, it's not easy for her."

Seeing that Chu Liangrao still remembered Ding Xiang, Mama Du couldn't help but asked: "Princess, if you don't want to part with Ding Xiang, why don't you sign a death contract, it's a good thing to be able to follow the princess, and it's too late for many people in this mansion to be jealous. "

"It's already a promise, how can we repent again." Chu Liangrao raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows, "Tomorrow, I will clear up the servants from the palace, find a reliable person and send them back, so as not to worry grandma. .”

"Do you want to buy a few more innocent maids?" Mother Du said, "There are not many people serving the princess, so if you want to show it to people from other palaces, you will inevitably think too much."

Chu Liangrao thought about it too, but now is not the time, so he said perfunctorily: "Let's see it later."

Just as she was talking, Pearl brought in today's medicine.

Chu Liangrao refused to take it, and said, "There is no need to decoct this medicine in the future."

Zhu'er raised her head and glanced at Mama Du, and when she saw her gesture of retreating, she stepped back.

Mother Du said: "The county chief, why don't you lie down and rest for a while?"

"Alright." Chu Liangrao responded.

I thought it would be good to lie down for a while, but I didn't want to lean on the bed and fell asleep.

Mother Du didn't bother Chu Liangrao, she put down the curtain, turned off the lights and left.

Today's watch is Zhen'er, so Mother Du gave a few more instructions.

"Mum, don't worry." Zhen'er said with a smile, "Slaves have always been light sleepers."

Nodding, Mama Du went to her room to rest.

As soon as she changed her clothes, someone knocked on the door, and Mother Du asked, "Who is it?"

"Mom." Lilac's voice came from outside the door, "Are you free now?"

Knowing that it was Ding Xiang, Mother Du subconsciously wanted to sneer, but when she thought of the princess's explanation, she held back: "Come in."

Ding Xiang just entered the room, she lowered her head, not as comfortable as before.

"Would you like some tea?" Mother Du said, she had poured the tea and handed it to Ding Xiang.

Clutching the teacup, Ding Xiang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your servant knows it's wrong for you to do this, but, mother, this servant lost her mother when she was young, and was brought up by her father alone. If there was no father for her hard work, there would be no servant today. .”

At the beginning of the conversation, Mother Du knew that Ding Xiang was here to express her determination, she said: "You have your difficulties, mother understands, and the princess also understands. Just think about it carefully, has the princess ever harmed you?"

"I don't think so. The princess treats the servants as much as a mountain." Ding Xiang said, "The servants have thought about it. The Du family has not given a letter about this matter. I am afraid that they will look down on the servants. When the servants leave the house, You can also help the princess take care of the store, which can be regarded as atonement."

It seemed that she had really thought about it too much. Mother Du looked at Ding Xiang and said, "It's not like you don't know, but now the princess is hurting and only wants to open a store, so why is there any thought of opening a store?"

"Anyway, it's the princess' painstaking effort..." Ding Xiang's voice trembled, "It's all the servants who harmed the princess."

Seeing her like this, Madam Du couldn't help but feel pity. It must be uncomfortable to be caught in the middle. If she really made up her mind to take care of the store, she probably just didn't think about her own marriage.

Wouldn't it be a pity for a good marriage to disappear like this?

For a while, Mother Du couldn't help complaining to Zhu Xiucai: "Your father has been out for some time, and he still thinks he has made progress. Unexpectedly, he only sees what is in front of him, delaying your business, and delaying the princess. "

"It's true that my father did something wrong." Ding Xiang sincerely apologized, "But he also did it for the sake of the servant."

Seeing Ding Xiang's sensible appearance, Du's mother felt all kinds of feelings in her heart.

She was still impressed by the sight of Ding Xiang entering the mansion at the beginning, but now, she is going to be sent out of the mansion.

But it's good, it can make the princess have a long memory, presumably the princess will not think about helping the maids change their slave status in the future, and the servants in the family will be honest by then.

Ding Xiang was arranged by her father, but it's hard to say for the remaining three maids. Now they haven't settled on their marriage, if they go back at this time, it's too late.

Thinking about it, Mother Du began to think about it, and decided to talk to Chu Liangrao tomorrow, asking to keep all three maids, so that there would be no one available around her.

After talking for a long time, Mother Du's attitude was gentle, and Ding Xiang felt better, so she went back to her room to rest.

Seeing that Ding Lan had rested, she took a light step and lay down with her clothes on, but she was not tired at all.

But Chu Liangrao in the room woke up, covered her itchy throat with her hands, and shouted, "Lilac, bring me a glass of water."

The door opened with a creak, Zhen'er put on her clothes and walked into the room with a candlestick in her hand. Seeing that Chu Liangrao had already sat up, she hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it over.

Seeing Zhen'er, Chu Liangrao realized that she called the wrong person. After drinking water, she asked in a daze, "What time is it?"

"Returning to the Princess, it's time to be a wit." Zhen'er pulled up half of the curtain, helped Chu Liangrao re-tuck the quilt, and said, "The princess should sleep a little longer, you should take a good rest at night because you are so busy during the day. "

Chu Liangrao looked at her and nodded, but she thought of Ding Xiang in her heart. If Ding Xiang was on vigil, she wouldn't even have to lift the curtains, she just got in through the gaps, and she only needed to pull the curtains when she got out.

But what's the use of thinking about it at this time.

Chu Liangrao twitched the corner of her mouth in self-deprecating manner.

"Princess, if you can't sleep, I can talk to you for a while." Zhen'er said softly.

Chu Liangrao thought for a while and said, "If you are sleepy, go to bed."

"The servant has also slept for a while." Zhen'er said.

Only then did Chu Liangrao let Zhen'er talk.

At the beginning, she had taken a fancy to Zhen'er's eloquence, but now Zhen'er has not changed at all, she has a clever mouth, and she can't stop talking about happy things. few.
