Prince please enthrone

Chapter 12

"Zhi'er is flattered, please get up quickly, young lady, Zhi'er has just arrived here and wants to wash her feet, can I ask young lady to fetch a basin of water? I don’t even understand, so I’m going to trouble my sister to teach me.”

Note that she said 'teach' not 'discipline', this small difference makes a huge difference.

This is clearly telling Hong Ling that she is the owner of this yard, and no one has the right to do it for her!A slave is a slave. You can't control anything or anyone, just manage yourself.

Hong Ling's face was a little ugly, but she had no choice but to nod in response, glanced at Su Yi, beckoned to her, and took her along.

The rest of the little maids looked at each other in blank dismay, and hurriedly said, "Meet Miss San."

Ye Lizhi nodded slightly: "Let's all go down. From now on, only Hong Ling and Su Yi will be left in the room to serve you. Just do your own thing."

"Yes." With Hong Ling's lesson learned from the past, the few people did not dare to stand out again, and hurriedly backed up a few steps one by one, and turned to leave when they reached the door.

Walking out the door, several people let out a long sigh of relief at the same time, exclaiming - what happened just now?I actually felt that my chest was stuffy, like a big rock was pressing on it!Is it because the house is too small?

Soon, Hong Ling came back with Su Yi.

Su Yi also held a wooden basin in her hand, which was half full of water, but she was used to rough work in the fireworks workshop, so she didn't feel tired, she followed Hong Ling's footsteps steadily, and quickly walked into the house. Come here.

"Su Yi, go outside to find Jiexuan, and ask him to clean up the remaining few vacant rooms with the maids, and leave the biggest room for the old lady who will come later."

"okay."

Su Yi put the wooden basin at her feet and trotted out. Hong Ling knew that it was the third lady who deliberately set aside Su Yi to let her wash her feet by herself, but how did the third lady know that there would be more after a while? Is an old lady coming?
This old nanny is a well-known shrew in the backyard, and she can stir things up even without reason. It was the eldest lady who specially left behind to 'teach' those disobedient sons and daughters. The old nanny has the eldest lady as her backer. She was even more unhindered. I heard that there was a concubine lady who was dragged out by the old mother because she contradicted her by saying something.

The old mother threatened that there should be no unruly ladies and young masters in the prime minister's mansion to embarrass the master, so she became more and more strict about the rules, and there was a danger of slapping her if she said a wrong word. .

Is Ye Lizhi afraid?

Oh, what is there to be afraid of when one has already died once?
She lowered her head, watching Hong Ling reluctantly rolled up her embroidered lace sleeves, squatted down, condescendingly took off her shoes and socks, her eyes turned cold.

Just when Hong Ling held her slender and small ankle with two green onion fingers in disgust, and wanted to put it in the wooden basin, just as the soles of her feet touched the water, Ye Lizhi raised all her strength and raised her leg towards Hong Ling's shoulder. kick!
Unprepared, Hong Ling was kicked backwards by her.

After she reacted, she was furious!

No matter what, she is also one of Da Furen's most trusted maids!From childhood to adulthood, at most, she said the wrong thing and was slapped by the mother, how could she have received such treatment!
The person who kicked her had a nice smile on his face, and said apologetically, "Miss sister, are you okay? I'm sorry, the water is too cold, I wanted to lift my foot, but I didn't expect to hit you. I'm sorry~"

Her smile was too innocent, and her apology sounded full of sincerity, which didn't make Hong Ling angry for a while, and it didn't matter if she wasn't.

but!

Lift your feet if you want!What happened to kicking her instead!Her hands were even holding onto her ankles before, if she could have held them tighter then, maybe this damn girl wouldn't have kicked her so easily...

No, wait!

These are not the key points at all, Hong Ling suddenly realized that the most important reason for such a mess is - the water is too cold!

Ye Lizhi looked at her face with a smile, turning blue and white.

Do you still want to handle her like you did in your previous life?At that time, she really didn't understand anything. She didn't understand that the water for washing the master's face and feet should be warm when the weather was cold. She didn't understand that the master should be fed and clothed warmly. Otherwise, the people below can easily climb on top of themselves.

Because she didn't understand, that's why she at that time foolishly thought that Hong Ling and Su Yi were the same people who treated her sincerely.

and after?Later, after gaining her trust, Hong Ling never did these menial tasks by herself.

Hong Ling rubbed her aching shoulder and slowly got up from the ground.

This time, it's really not that she is deliberately neglecting, but that her shoulders really hurt. She never expected that a little girl who is only ten years old would have such great strength. Her shoulder hurts like a dislocation from being kicked. Be careful. The ground moved the arm, but fortunately, it didn't really dislocate.

She lowered her head, covered all the hatred in her eyes, knelt on the ground obediently, and said in a low voice: "Your maidservant made a mistake, please punish Third Miss."

"It's good to know you're wrong," Ye Lizhi swayed his two short legs, looking natural and harmless, and then continued: "Go to the punishment room and get twenty boards."

"What?!" Hong Ling raised her head abruptly, then lowered her head again, gritted her teeth, but could only swallow them.

So what if you don't swallow it?This is what she did wrong!

"Yes, I'll go now, servant girl." Those who went there didn't dare to do anything to her, it was better to stay here and wash the feet of this dead girl!

Hong Ling got up, turned her head and left.

Ye Lizhi called in another maid and told her to mix the water. The hut was dilapidated and the sound insulation effect was not good at all, so the little maid immediately picked up the wooden basin and went away in fear.

In just one morning, almost everyone in the yard knew that this new Miss San was really not easy to mess with!
Only Su Yi, who believed in Ye Lizhi wholeheartedly, and Jie Xuan, who had heard Ye Lizhi's words the night before, were still free to come and go, looking at ease as if they were in their own home.

Yangchun courtyard.

The eldest lady Zhen fiddled with the tea leaves in the cup with the tea lid, listened casually to Hong Ling's whining with complaints, and suddenly put the tea cup heavily on the table.

The crisp sound of the cup lids hitting each other was like thunder, which stopped Hong Ling's crying abruptly.

"You still have the face to cry? After being bullied like this by a wild girl who has been raised outside all year round, you still have the face to come back?"

There was no anger on Zhen's well-maintained face, and even her tone of voice was soft, like a gentle mother. Ren could never have imagined that she was the mastermind behind Ye's backyard.

Hong Ling trembled all over, and was speechless. After a long while, she retorted timidly in a low voice: "Then...the third lady is domineering and domineering, and she doesn't even reveal her words. The servant is really... really just I can eat Coptis chinensis as a mute, but I can’t tell what I’m suffering, so I beg my wife to be the master of my slave..."
