Soft-waisted little maid

Chapter 12 But she became such an outstanding person again

The servant rooms of the East Mansion are located in the north and east of the Yu Mansion. The one in the east is adjacent to the main courtyard where the second master and second grandma live, and the one in the north is adjacent to the courtyard of the third young master and the fifth young lady.

The place where Xue Ke lives now has a dense bamboo forest to the north. The second master asked the gardener to plant it on a whim. However, because of this, there is always little moonlight at night. Even if a lantern is lit, it is still not very bright. .When the maids on night duty came back, it would occasionally happen that they accidentally touched the wrong room.

After Xue Ke came to the second room consciously, he had never bothered anyone, let alone made any grudges. If he had applied incense, he would have been sent away. I really couldn't figure out who poured water on her quilt at night.She was still thinking that maybe someone had made a mistake, but for several days after that, her quilt was always wet.Not only that, she found that when she went to get ice cubes, she couldn't find a helper. When eating, she could only get the smallest portion of the dish, and often there was not even a piece of minced meat.
Now, no need to guess, she knew that she was being targeted.

Early the next morning, after Sun Zan went out, Xue Ke knocked on Xiaoyu's door alone.

The person who opened the door was a second-class maid named Shuangcheng who lived with her. She was not tall, but had a slim figure, a thin face, and her eyebrows were raised so much that they felt like they were going straight into her temples.

Xue Ke greeted politely: "Is Sister Xiaoyu in there?"

Shuangcheng raised his eyebrows, turned around and shouted: "Xiaoyu, I'm looking for you."

While she was looking back and speaking, Xue Ke, who was standing opposite her, also heard her thoughts, "It's unlucky to meet her so early in the morning."

Xue Ke glanced at the other party lightly and remained silent.

"Xueke? Why are you here today? What's wrong with the third young master?" In the room, Xiaoyu was taking off the few hairpin rings on her head. There was also a half-repaired sunglasses on the bed beside her. Zan's clothes and robes, these personal items were always only handled by her and a few nuns.

Xue Ke first said hello, and when she came to him, he motioned to Xiaoyu to take a few steps outside. After Shuangcheng was completely out of sight, he said, "Sister Xiaoyu, it's not the Third Young Master's business, it's just something I want to come up with." Please."

"Just talk."

"That's it. I don't know what happened recently. When I go to get ice, the servants who usually deliver ice are always not there. Anyway, can't I wait for someone to come? It doesn't matter if I come by myself, but it will cost more. The hour, and it’s such a hot day, it’s really inappropriate to ask the third young master to wait. My sister is smarter than me, can you teach me what to do?”

Xue Ke looked at her without blinking.

Sure enough, when she asked, Xiaoyu in front of her was hesitant to speak but then stopped.

This didn't bother her, she just heard Xiaoyu thinking in her heart: "These guys are real. Even if they exclude snow guests, it won't affect the master. If the third young master finds out about this, he will lose his temper." of."

But on the surface, she only said: "Don't worry, sister, these are all lazy idiots. When the weather gets hot, they don't know where to hide to enjoy the coolness. It's just because you, sister, are easy to talk to. I'll talk to them later."

Xue Ke smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble my sister." She pretended to sigh, "Fortunately, I thought it was because everyone didn't want to pay attention to me, so I was worried for a while."

Xiaoyu said: "How could it be?" But what she was thinking in her heart was, "These three brothers let her sleep in the study. It's no wonder that everyone is targeting her. Now she can't even find anyone willing to live in the same room with her. I'm afraid I will suffer more in the future." After hearing this, Xue Ke finally understood the matter.

It turns out that the boss is still the third young master. If they know that the third young master has given her books and rewarded her with food, what will happen?
There was no solution to this problem for a while. Xue Ke thanked Xiaoyu again and returned to the yard.

In a blink of an eye, it was quarter past three. Since Sun Zan came back at noon, snow guests usually had their meals in advance at this time.

As soon as Mrs. Wang, who was in charge of catering, saw her, she seemed invisible. She screamed several times without even raising her head.

"Aunt Wang, the young master will be back soon. I have to hurry over to serve you after finishing my meal. Can you hurry up a little bit?" She said in a helpless tone. It's okay for these little girls to be jealous of her. Why are these elderly people even here? They refused to give her a good look.

Aunt Wang held the spoon in her hand, and the flames on the stove shot up to a foot high without even raising her head: "You didn't see me busy preparing for the masters. Miss Xueke, please wait, old lady, I can't Forget about the masters and come to serve you first, shall I?"

Xue Ke gritted her teeth in anger, knowing that she was choking herself on purpose.

There was also a girl of the right age in Aunt Wang's family, and she brought her to the house several times. The Second Mistress didn't like her, but she wanted to send her to the Third Young Master, and for this she also felt resentful towards Xue Ke.

Although Xue Ke knew it, he had no choice but to wait.

After a while, I saw Shuangcheng slowly coming in: "Aunt Wang, are you ready for my loofah soup? I'm a little angry these days. I'll take Sister Xiaoyu's share with me."

"Oh, no, how can I keep you waiting? It's still hot on the stove. Why do you have to go there by yourself? I'm going to send it to the two nobles' houses." Aunt Wang's face was filled with emotion. He smiled and went up to meet Xue Ke. When he passed by Xue Ke, he pushed her so that she was caught off guard and bumped into the corner of the stove.

"Hiss—" Xue Ke took a breath of cold air. The sharp point hit her right side, and she broke out in cold sweat the next second.

Shuangcheng glanced at it and said hello perfunctorily: "Isn't this Sister Xueke? The young master has to go to school at this time, why are you still hiding here? If someone in the mistress's house catches you, But I have to be talked about again."

With a sinister tone, anyone with a discerning eye can see her hostility.

"Yes, the old slave also urged her. The kitchen is very busy at the moment, but she has to eat before she is willing to serve. I don't know if everyone in the concubine's yard is so unruly, and everyone is so different in style. The host's family is still big, and for people like us who serve people, it's not common for them to skip meals." Aunt Wang also agreed.

The corner of Xue Ke's mouth twitched: "Aunt Wang, all the maids in this courtyard eat the same food, right? Why are the two sisters Xiaoyu and Shuangcheng's food better, but mine is not? Why, is it mine? You still have to cook a separate portion for me? Besides, it’s not just once or twice. Is this the only meal you’ve been missing from me these days?”

Aunt Wang blushed and turned white: "Girl from Shuangcheng, look at this, who is this?!"
