Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 8 When something goes wrong, there must be a demon

"Sure enough, I grew up in the countryside. Look at these small arms and legs. They don't have a catty or two of flesh. When I pushed them out, I thought it was a kid." The loud voice heard outside the door just now sounded again at this time. Chu Qingyan took a closer look, It turned out to be Aunt Santang with eyes higher than the roof, she couldn't help sneering, she couldn't eat enough for three meals in Mao Village, it would be nice if she could grow up safely, and expecting her to grow up white and fat, that's just a dream.

Aunt Santang is also Mrs. Wang, her sharp sarcasm was immediately recognized by everyone, Chu Qing frowned, not wanting to understand why these people kept looking at her.

"Forget it, after all, it's a girl from the Chu family. It's better to have something than nothing." Mrs. Chu said at this time, a stern look flashed in her eyes.

"Mother is right, it's good when people come." Aunt Ertang and Mrs. Xing also said with a smile at this time.

"Although the clothes are a bit shabby and I'm not good looking, but as long as I stay in our Chu family for two days, I can still go out to meet people. Mother and father can feel at ease." Mrs. Wang seemed to be picking vegetables in the vegetable market, picking and choosing. She said it bluntly, as if Chu Qingyan was really hard to see.

In fact, it is not the case. Although Chu Qingyan is a little thinner, her appearance is not bad. Mrs. Wang, who has seen too many people, can tell at a glance that Chu Qingyan is still a beauty. In time, she will definitely surpass her daughters. That's why Mrs. Wang can't see that the other party is good, so she often tramples on her.

Chu Qingyan has gotten used to this family's lip service just now, but it's hard for her own mother, seeing her own daughter being judged like this, but unable to refute it, her face is very ugly.

"I've met them too, ma'am, you are in charge of arranging their accommodation. I still have one painting left before I finish viewing it." Old Master Chu didn't look at Chu Qingyan and his party anymore, and left on his own.

After Mrs. Chu left, Mrs. Chu looked them over severely, and said to Mrs. Xing, "Mother is a little tired, so I'll let you arrange it!"

"Yes." Mrs. Xing responded immediately.

So Mrs. Chu also Shi Shiran left.

After the two elders left, Second Master Chu patted his sleeves and stood up to leave. Third Master Chu and Mrs. Wang followed suit with their chins lifted. Fourth Master Chu, Chu Zhizhi, and his wife, Mrs. Lin, who had been standing silently by the side, also left. .

As a result, the small main hall suddenly became empty, leaving only Mrs. Xing and Chu Qingyan's family of three.

Chu Qingyan looked at the main hall that was empty in a blink of an eye, and raised her eyebrows secretly. Looking at the attitudes of everyone just now, she didn't feel any welcome at all. On the contrary, there was an evil in both words and expressions!The meeting seemed to be just a formality.

It seems like there is something premeditated!
Although Chu Qingyan is usually indifferent to many things, her intuition has never made a mistake, so she immediately tightened her nerves and raised her vigilance, and turned her eyes to her only nominal second aunt, Mrs. Xing, who was still in the hall. .

Mrs. Xing still smiled at Chu's mother, "You are tired after traveling all the way, I'll let someone take you to rest first!"

Before Chu's mother could speak, Mrs. Xing had already turned her head and said to the maidservant beside her, "Baochun, take the Eldest Master, Eldest Mistress, and Miss Ninth to rest!"

"Yes, ma'am." Baochun took the order to salute them, and then led them out of the main hall.

So Chu Qingyan and his group followed Baochun to their room.

Walking out of the main hall, there was already someone waiting there, it was the maid Shancha who had been informed before.Baochun said to Shancha, "Shancha, you take Miss Jiu to the east wing, and I will take the Eldest Master and Da Furen to the west wing."

Hearing this, Chu Qingyan immediately stood up and asked, "It means that my parents and I will be separated, and the rooms are not together?"

Baochun glanced at her, "The old lady has already ordered that Miss Jiu is already ten years old, so she should avoid suspicion, so the rooms are not arranged together."

"But..." Chu Qingyan wanted to say something, but was stopped by her mother, who said softly to her, "Be obedient first, don't start a conflict."

Chu Qingyan couldn't help shutting up obediently, but Baochun raised her eyebrows lightly at her, then turned around and left with Chu's mother and Chu's father.

At this time, Shan Cha had already said to her, "Miss Nine, please follow this slave."

Mother and father have gone far away, so she can only follow Shan Cha.

Although she vaguely felt that the Chu family wanted to separate their family of three, she had to bow her head under the eaves, so she had to sort out the current situation first before making any plans.

Shan Cha turned her head and glanced at Miss Jiu who was quietly following behind her, she couldn't help being a little curious, didn't Miss Jiu come from the countryside?Why is it not like that at all?Wenwen is quiet, with an indescribable calmness, even the ladies in the house do not have the tranquility exuded by her.

However, thinking of the Second Madam's intention of taking Miss Jiu's family over, Shan Cha turned to feel sympathy for Miss Jiu.

Although An Jing walked behind, it didn't mean that the expression on Shan Cha's face escaped her eyes. Maybe it was because she was still young, so Shan Cha didn't hide her emotions from her, so she clearly saw Shan Cha's affection for her. mercy.

Strange, why pity?It's just that she hasn't lived a good life for ten years, but that doesn't mean she's going to be sympathetic?
Thinking back to the cold treatment everyone gave to their parents just now, they paid more attention to her, since she was still a child less than two months old when she left.

And now even the maid has sympathy for her, is there something unpredictable waiting for her?
Just as she was thinking about it, Shan Cha stopped and said to her, "Miss Jiu is here, this is where you will live from now on."

Chu Qingyan suddenly raised her head, the complicated thoughts in her eyes faded away, and she resumed her smiling expression, then nodded to Shancha, "En."

Shancha was taken aback by the flash of wisdom that flashed in her eyes just now, and in the blink of an eye, she saw Miss Jiu looking at her peacefully. go in.

Chu Qingyan looked at the room. Although it was not big, it was already much better than the room she lived in in Mao Village before, and someone should have tidied it before, so the room was still tidy and clean.

"Miss Nine, the Second Madam asked the servant girl to serve you temporarily, and a new servant girl will be sent over in a few days." Shan Cha smiled at her.

But at the same age as her, she has already begun to learn to serve others. Chu Qingyan couldn't help but sigh, this is the ancient monarchy society, and the bottom people have no freedom and human rights.

Chu Qingyan nodded to show that she knew, and put the bundle in her hand on the table, Shan Cha immediately took it with a wink, and said, "Miss Nine, let this servant help you tidy up."

She wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she let her go.

While Shan Cha was unpacking and packing, Chu Qingyan stood up and walked around the room.

"Miss, would you like some tea?" Shan Cha asked with a smile.

Being mentioned by Shan Cha, Chu Qingyan really felt a little thirsty, so she said, "Okay."

So Shan Cha picked up the teacup and started pouring tea.

Chu Qingyan approached the table, looked at Shancha and rolled her eyes, and suddenly asked, "Shancha, do you know what happened to the Chu family recently?"

As soon as the words fell, the teacup that Shan Cha had just picked up fell on the table with a bang.
