Soft-waisted little maid

Chapter 10 Born like Piaoping
"She's panicking!" Tu Xiang yelled first, her face turned pale with anxiety, "I saw it with my own eyes. Normally, the young master doesn't go back to the house until he's close to his wife, but after Liu Zhu sent her in, she never came back. Never came out, she——"

Xue Ke glanced at her lightly and saw that she must have realized the problem in what she just said, so she quickly closed her mouth and lowered her head to look at the ground.

"Miss Tu Xiang is not serving the third young master. She knows the third young master's routine very well. But it just so happened that that day, the third young master's book boy Liu Zhu accidentally spilled the ink. The smell in the house was too strong and the window had to be opened for ventilation. The young master returned early. I left the house and left me to guard it. I guess it was because you hadn't gone on duty at that time, so it was natural that you didn't know." At this point, she bowed to Second Grandma Xue again, "Second Grandma, please follow me. I haven’t been here for a long time, but these days I have seen that the third young master has always been focused on studying, and nothing else can catch his eye. If the second grandma doesn’t trust me, why don’t you still trust the third young master? If you still don’t believe what I said, You can confirm with the people waiting in the third young master’s room, and then you will know whether what I said is true or false.”

Second Grandma Xue's face remained calm and she didn't speak for a long time, seeming to be considering it carefully.

Then she waved her hand to Aunt Guan, who understood and immediately withdrew.

Xue Ke knelt with Tu Xiang in the main hall with a calm expression. After waiting for a while, Grandma Guan walked in with a girl who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old.

She was wearing a goose-yellow coat, with a simple and elegant appearance, and an extraordinary look. She bowed upright and said, "Second Grandma."

Xue Ke looked familiar to her and remembered that she had a face-to-face encounter with this person when she first entered the second room.She was called Xiaoyu, and she was the eldest daughter of the Second Grandma's close confidant, Aunt Guan. She was arranged to be by Sun Zan's side since she was a child and act as the Second Grandma's eyes and ears. Therefore, she was the only young maid who could get close to Sun Zan.

"Second Grandma, my mother explained everything to me on the way." After saying that, she cast her eyes on Tu Xiang, who was a little panicked, and then glanced at Xue Ke and said, "That night was I was on duty, and the young master indeed returned to the house before midnight, and after reading for two more hours at night, he just turned off the lights and went to bed."

Now that the matter has come to this, the situation becomes clear.

"Okay. Okay." Grandma Xue was probably furious and sneered, "My son is about to leave for autumn, and everyone in this backyard is really uneasy. They are plotting against us two." She said harshly. He slapped the table hard, pointed at Tu Xiang who was shrinking down in the hall, and said, "You stinky thing that came out of a dog's belly. I've known for a long time that you are not a good person. I sent you to sweep the floor and make a fuss all over the yard." She can't live in peace. Come here, drag me out and burn two holes in her face with the fire stick!"

"Second Grandma! Second Grandma, please spare your life!"

Tu Xiang's shrill snoring suddenly resounded throughout the room, and Xue Ke felt horrified hearing it. If she hadn't been able to explain clearly just now, she might be the one who ended up like this.

Xiaoyu, who was standing aside, saw Xue Ke's expression and suddenly said something in Nanny Guan's ear. Nanny Guan glanced at her doubtfully, but saw her suddenly walk to the hall and kneel down, requesting: "Two Grandma, although this person's mind is impure and he really deserves to be punished, the third young master has a kind heart. If he knew about it, he would inevitably have some unpleasantness with grandma. Forget it on weekdays, but autumn is approaching. If he is distracted by this, he will A small loss is a big loss.”

This Xiaoyu's words were very useful in front of Grandma Xue. Although she was still displeased on her face, she also felt that what Xiaoyu said was reasonable, so she said with a dark face: "If it weren't for brother Zan's sake, I would have done it today." I'll spare your life for now, drag her out first and beat her up so that the third young master doesn't see her, and then send her to the woodshed so that I don't see her again."

"As for you?" Mistress Xue's sharp gaze was like the tip of a knife grazing Xue Ke's neck.

"You are still a wise man, and what happened today is a reminder to you. If I find out that you have any irregularities in the future, regardless of whether you are sent by the ancestors, I will still beat you up and throw you away. Go up to Zhuangzi."

Xue Ke listened to Tu Xiang who was still crying outside, feeling sad and softly said yes.

When they returned to the courtyard, Tu Xiang's luggage had been packed out of the room. The entire room was obviously half empty, and the bed was also empty.Xiaoyu followed Tu Xiang back to the servant's courtyard. Seeing her standing at the door staring at the room in a daze, she finally comforted her and said: "Our courtyard is like this. People come and leave at the discretion of the master. You As long as you stick to your duties and keep your distance from the third young master, there is no need to worry too much about others."

"Thank you, Sister Xiaoyu." Her voice was low.

Xiaoyu nodded: "We will arrange for new people to move in later. Also, you know, don't talk to the Third Young Master about what happened today."

Xue Ke obediently obeyed all the instructions.

To be honest, she was still wary of the person sent by the old lady. Although she was not as charming as the one named Tu Xiang, the more she looked at her, the more lovable she became. She was fresh and vivid, and she wore a red dress The plain coat skirt looks like a pink peach.

Before coming in, I heard that she was well liked by several elders when she was in the concubine's house. Xiaoyu was also afraid that she would cause some trouble in the third young master's yard, but maybe she was overly worried.

She has been serving the third young master for seven years. According to the second mistress's wishes, she will be raised as the third young master's wife once the third young master has passed the autumn period, so she is very cautious about all the troubles in the yard.

"The second grandma doesn't like to use young maids, so there aren't many people living in this yard. The third young master doesn't like to talk to strangers, so he is a little more deserted. If you are idle and boring in the future, come and talk to me. It's okay to talk." Xiaoyu smiled kindly, and chatted casually with Xueke for a few more words. By noon, the third young master was almost back from school, and just then they went off to do their own things.
.
Sun Zan finished school that day, and the first thing he did was to go back to his room and change clothes.

Seeing that it was approaching the middle of July, the weather was getting hotter and hotter. I had just been in class for a while, and the clothes I wore in the morning were already soaked with sweat, so I decided to change into a cool gauze garment. Go to the study room to review.

Xiaoyu happened to be waiting outside the door of Sun Zan's room, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw him appear: "Third Young Master!"

Sun Zan didn't look sideways, just nodded and went straight into the house.

Xiaoyu hurriedly followed.

"Third Young Master is not going to the study today? You still have to read in the side hall. I will go and clean it up now."

"No need." Sun Zan waved his hand.

"I just change my clothes and leave." Then he seemed to have remembered something, and his tone was slightly impatient, "You too, how many times have I told you, why are you here waiting for your mother like this? Do you want to be like this too? "
