Oops, I accidentally became the palm of a powerful official

Ling'er looked at the butler and continued: "Master butler, the servants have not been here for a long time, and there is not much contact with Xiaorong. They don't even stay together when doing things. There is no relationship between the two of us. There are no contradictions, but there is no deep friendship."

Although she is not good at words and has a weak personality, she has a flexible mind.From the moment the housekeeper mentioned Xiao Rong's name, he guessed that it might be related to today's events.The matter of delivering water and steamed buns by oneself may have been exposed, but since it has been done, it cannot be avoided. If it is punished for this matter, it can only be admitted.

Although he had a hope in his heart that the housekeeper would not be so ruthless, he was also very scared.After all, there are some things that I didn't see myself, so the butler's dislike for Xiao Rong may be beyond my imagination.

Hearing this, the butler nodded and said calmly, "Xiao Rong was punished so severely today because of a few mistakes. Do you think the punishment is too severe? Do you feel wronged for her?"

The steward's words startled Ling'er, she quickly kowtowed twice, "I don't dare to think like that. No matter who does something wrong, they should be punished. The slave thinks that the steward's punishment is not serious. No matter what the housekeeper does, the starting point must be for the good of everyone, and the servants dare not make any complaints, and I believe Xiaorong should not."

"Just now you also said that there is not much intersection between you two girls, and there is no deep friendship, so you don't know Xiao Rong at all, so there is no reason to vouch for him."

"My servant knows I'm wrong. I just didn't think about it, so please forgive me." At any time, you can only put all the responsibility on yourself, otherwise the other party will be even more angry, Ling'er is clear about this .

Hearing Ling'er's words and looking at her attitude, the housekeeper nodded, "You girl still has your own realm. The old man asked you to come here to ask why you brought water and steamed buns to Xiaorong. Did you send it on your own initiative, or was someone instigated? Or it was because of other reasons. You have to tell the truth, the old man hates liars the most, you don’t know this? First of all, you have to understand that the old man didn’t mean to blame you, but You have to tell the truth."

Seeing the slightly gentle look in the housekeeper's eyes, Ling'er was not so scared anymore. The housekeeper said that he was right, since he said he didn't blame her, it couldn't be a lie.

She lowered her head and said honestly, "Master Steward, seeing Xiaorong being punished, I didn't feel that the servant was punished. It was too heavy, but I felt that she was punished for doing something wrong. It was a bit pitiful. The reason why the Steward didn't She drove out because she was willing to give her a chance to reform herself. After everyone dispersed, Xiao Rong fell down in the yard alone. Seeing that the sun was too hot, the maidservant brought her a bowl of water for fear of heat stroke. At that time, the servant girl was only afraid of something more serious, and it was also because the sympathy for Xiao Rong really had no other meaning, let alone wanting to fight against the housekeeper's order."

"The old man did say to leave her alone, but he didn't say that no one can help her. Perhaps in the eyes of you slaves and servants, the old man is a very strict and even indifferent person. But the old man never thought of killing you , if you really want to deal with you, then your life will not be so easy."

"The servant understands. Although the steward didn't talk about caring for everyone, everything he fought for everyone is enough to explain the problem. Seeing Xiaorong's appearance, the servant softened for a while, so he did such a thing. Please also ask the steward Forgive me."

"Although you made it up on your own, you won't be punished, so why did you give him steamed buns? Who gave you steamed buns?"

Afraid of hurting the eldest sister who went to the kitchen to give her steamed buns, Ling'er told the housekeeper that she had hidden the buns, and then told the eldest sister that she was not full, so she ordered another half.She knows such things, so she won't be punished, because in this family, they are all allowed to have enough food.Fortunately, after saying these words, the housekeeper did not have too much doubt.

"It seems that you really voluntarily delivered food to Xiaorong. If you don't deliver food, will you come to trouble you in two days?" The housekeeper asked tentatively, "You must tell the truth. If you hide it, the old man will not forgive you lightly."

"I must be telling the truth. Before this, I didn't think about this issue, because the two of us don't live together, and we don't work together. So we don't have much contact with each other. Even if I didn't bring her water and steamed buns, I should Don't come to blame me, although Xiao Rong usually has a cheerful personality, even a little impatient, but he is not the kind of unreasonable person."

"She was punished today, and no one dared to stand up and intercede for her. He must be very angry afterwards. Did you see him mention this when you went to find her?"

Ling'er shook her head firmly, and said seriously, "It shouldn't be. Ling'er was punished, and she definitely wouldn't be in a good mood, but from what he said, she regretted that she was meddling in her own business. The servant didn't hear any complaints from her, and didn't complain about the housekeeper, it was because he did something wrong and deserved to be punished, and he didn't blame everyone. Because the mistakes he made must be borne by himself, and it has nothing to do with others."

"Is this girl really so broad-minded?"

"At least I didn't say anything frustrating in front of my slaves. I just told me that we should talk less and do more. I think Xiaorong has realized his mistakes and will definitely correct them in the days to come. Please also The housekeeper will give her another chance."

Ling'er interceded for Xiao Rong by the way. Although the two of them didn't have a deep friendship, they didn't have a deep hatred either.They are all slaves, and they are all people with tragic fate. It is also very good to be able to help each other.If I were in the situation I am in today, I definitely hope that some people can help me.

Although she is humble and light-hearted, Ling'er is also a person who can read words and expressions. From the expression and attitude of the housekeeper, it is very good to be able to feel his mood.That's why I dared to intercede. If the other party was very strict and even wanted to throw a tantrum, then Ling'er didn't have the guts to do so.

Hearing her words, the housekeeper was still satisfied with this maid, and it would be good if she didn't make trouble at such a time.He could even take the risk to intercede for him.

"You don't need to worry about Xiaorong. The old man never thought of severely punishing him. He just reminded her."
