Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 420

Li Siniang frowned, "How can this be? Miss Yao is a girl, how can she go to your yard? Besides, you are not married yet, and there are only men in your yard. Do you want to keep Miss Yao's reputation?"

"I will be responsible for her reputation!" Sun Jifei hesitated for a moment, then said calmly and firmly.

"Are you responsible? Don't forget, she is still a wife and her husband is still in prison." Li Siniang instantly understood what Sun Jifei meant. She was a little frightened and embarrassed.

After saying this, Li Siniang realized that she was a little too harsh, so she softened her tone and said, "It was my fault before. I didn't expect that she could still stay in my yard..."

Having said that, he paused and glanced at Ning'er who seemed to be watching the show. He sighed in his heart, thinking that this child might think that the matter was over.

However, it is time to appease Sun Jifei first. If he really wants to get involved, it will be troublesome if things get out of hand.

"I promise that I will never let her suffer any injustice from me again." There is no point in saying more, so it is better to make a promise.

Yao Zhuer, who was separated by a wall, heard the quarrel here, and reluctantly got up and walked out, holding the wall to defend Ning'er, saying that Ning'er had not been mean to her, and that she was anxious to see her benefactor but was unable to do so, which led to her loss of food and sleep.

In fact, everyone knows this, but if we admit it, doesn’t it mean that the source is still with Qin Sui?
Yao Zhuer was not as scheming as Li Si Niang. Before she realized the meaning of her words, she said to Sun Jifei, "Brother Sun, please go and do your thing. I won't bother you. Besides, what Si Niang said is absolutely right. It is not appropriate for me to live in your yard!"

But in fact, when Yao Zhuer saw Sun Jifei, the anxiety and confusion in her heart seemed to be relieved a lot at once, and even her spirits improved a little.

Sun Jifei looked at Yao Zhuer for a long time before saying, "My family has been busy with the rituals at the temple these days, so I may not be able to take care of you for a while. When you come back from Baoguo Temple, the Second Master and the Madam will meet you."

Yao Zhuer felt a little embarrassed and nodded to indicate that she would not think too much about it and would not cause trouble for anyone.

After Xiaolong came back, Li Siniang asked Xiaolong to stay and take care of Yao Zhuer, and also arranged for a maid to come and take care of Yao Zhuer specifically.

As for Ning'er, Li Siniang sent her to work as a handyman in the big kitchen. It was a hard job and she was exhausted every day. It was a world of difference compared to working in Li Siniang's yard.

Ning'er refused to accept and yelled that Yao Zhu'er was just an outsider, why should she be punished for an outsider, and this woman was an unlucky person who had just been released from prison.

Li Siniang looked at Ning'er coldly: "I don't intend to punish you severely because you are young, but now you want to go against me. Are you dissatisfied? If you are dissatisfied, then go find the madam yourself."

Ning'er entered the Xiao family at the age of eight and was liked by Li Siniang, who arranged her to live in her own courtyard. Therefore, she had never suffered any hardship and did not understand the ways of the world.

After hearing Li Siniang say that he could ask his wife to sort things out, he thought about it and actually turned around and ran out.

In her heart, Li Siniang was also a slave after all, how could she be better than her?
Moreover, she had never seen the wife angry. Everyone in the family said that the wife was the most reasonable person. Yao Zhuer was just someone brought back by Sun Jifei. She had been hiding in Li Siniang's yard for so long. The second master's wife had never seen her. It was possible that Sun Jifei and Li Siniang were doing something behind the scenes.

The more Ning'er thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and the more she felt that she was right. Besides, she also gave Yao Zhu'er food, so it's not like she didn't have food to eat.

When Qin Su heard that Li Siniang's maid Ning'er wanted to see Qin Su, she thought that Li Siniang had something to report, so she specially sent a little maid to reply, and called Qinggu to go and see.

Qinggu came out and saw Ning'er crying with red eyes in the yard. His brows immediately frowned and he asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you crying for no reason?" They were going to Baoguo Temple to perform a ritual tomorrow. It would be uncomfortable for this maid to come here crying.

"Sister Qinggu, Ning'er wants to see Madam. Ning'er has something important to tell Madam."

Ning'er pulled Qinggu's arm and begged, tears streaming down her face.

Qing Gu pulled her hand away, stood still and stared at her, and said in a cold voice: "If you have something to say, just tell me. I will tell my wife after hearing it. If my wife thinks it is important, she will definitely meet you to ask in person."

Ning'er knew that Li Siniang was in charge of the household affairs, but Qinggu was the most popular person around the lady. If she didn't pass on the message, she would not be able to see the lady. So, she told Li Siniang that there was someone hidden in her yard and what happened today. Of course, it was not difficult to hear her grievance and dissatisfaction with Li Siniang and Sun Jifei in her narration.

"Sister Si Niang is still too soft-hearted. How could she raise a traitor like you?" Qinggu frowned even more. He was not misled by Ning'er's words. Instead, he scolded her.

Ning'er was still immersed in her own sadness and grievance. She did not hear Qinggu's words clearly. She stared at Qinggu with her big eyes, innocently and confusedly.

At this moment, Li Siniang also came along. Qing Gu cast his gaze towards Li Siniang, pointed his index finger at Ning'er and said to Li Siniang, "Sister Siniang, are you soft-hearted again? Such an ungrateful fool should be kicked out directly. Why bother to teach him personally?"

"Sister Qinggu, why do you say that to me? Are you trying to side with Sister Si Niang?" Ning'er's voice was a little loud, probably wanting Qin Sui in the room to hear it.

Qin Sui naturally heard it and came out as she wished. However, she ignored the joy and anticipation on Ning'er's face. Without waiting for Ning'er to speak, she just looked at Li Siniang.

"Go find a human trafficker to take Ning'er away." Qin Sui's words instantly froze Ning'er's heart.

"Madam." Before she could finish her words, she was pulled out.

The old woman who was holding her arm was extremely strong, and Ning'er's small body was unable to resist.

The old woman kindly reminded her, "In this family, Li Siniang is the kindest. She just wants you to go to the kitchen. Miss Qinggu has been with the mistress for a long time and has learned some of her skills. So, she just wants to drive you out. Maybe she will return your indenture and give you a few taels of silver to live on. But you are so unsatisfied that you have to make the mistress upset. Now you have been sold to a trafficker. I don't know how your future will be."

"Yes, the servants in our family actually have a good life as long as they don't do anything excessive. Which of our masters is difficult to serve? There is no beating or scolding of servants without reason. If you go to other people's homes, you will know that those dirty things are so embarrassing that I am embarrassed to talk about them!" This old woman has worked for several families, and this is the one she is most satisfied with, so she simply cannot understand the girl in front of her.

Qin Sui sent Ning'er away and turned to go into the house. Li Siniang and Qing Gu looked at each other and followed her in.

Seeing that people were packing things to go to Baoguo Temple, Li Siniang also offered to help.

"Fourth Mother, what happened to Yao Zhuer?" Qin Sui did not hear what Ning'er said specifically, but was annoyed by her noisy voice, so she came out and dealt with the person, and was very quick and decisive.

Li Siniang told Qin Sui about Yao Zhuer's story, but she did not comment.

After a while, she said, "Let's talk about it when we get back. There's no need to see her for now."
