Allure Ugly Concubine

Chapter 24 Growing Cabbage

Hearing this, Lin Zijiang kicked Pu Tao twice before stopping.Then she turned around and saw a middle-aged woman about forty walking towards her.This person is the nanny of King Yue and the housekeeper of the palace——Qin Qiushuang.Although there were some wrinkles on her face, she carried an aura of calmness and prestige.The surrounding maids all kept silent and bowed their heads when they saw her coming, which shows that her status in the palace is not low.

"Are you guys making trouble here?" She glanced at the people on the ground and Lin Zijiang.

When Pu Tao heard this, her face was a little frightened, she staggered towards the woman and said: "Gu Gu, it's none of our business, she did it first."

As he spoke, he pointed at Lin Zijiang.

"Oh?" The woman walked towards Lin Zijiang and said, "Is what she said true?"

Seeing this, Hanxiao hurriedly tugged on Lin Zijiang's sleeve, and whispered in her ear, "Sister, hurry up and admit your mistake to Auntie."

"They hit me first, and I fought back." Lin Zijiang distinguished.

"We didn't, aunt, she bullied us because she was the prince's maid." Pu Tao said hastily.

"Hey, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll knock out your teeth." Lin Zijiang threatened Pu Tao.

"Sister Putao is not talking nonsense, we can all testify that you were the one who did it first." said several other maids who were watching, and it seemed that Putao and his gang belonged.

Seeing that everyone was speaking for Pu Tao, Lin Zijiang knew that they were in collusion, so he stopped defending.Anyway, she had played enough just now, even if she was punished for this, she felt it was worth it.

But at this moment, a person stood out from the crowd and said in a crisp voice, "I can testify that Pu Tao did it first."

Hearing this, everyone looked at the person who spoke.Lin Zijiang recognized her immediately, it was the Forsythia from last night.

Pu Tao's expression changed, and she said in a slightly threatening tone: "Lianqiao, this doesn't seem to be your business."

However, Lianqiao was not afraid of her, and said, "I'm just telling the truth."

Hearing this, Qin Qiushuang glanced at Pu Tao and the others.

Pu Tao and the others were so frightened that they knelt down and confessed: "I know my mistake, I will never dare again."

Xiao Xiao also immediately pulled Lin Zijiang to kneel on the ground, "Sister Zijiang doesn't understand the rules of the palace, please don't blame me, aunt."

Qin Qiushuang seemed to cast a meaningful look at Lin Zijiang.Then he turned to other people and said, "You guys should clean up this place first, and then kneel down for three hours before I can get up."

After giving the order, Qin Qiulian turned her head to Lin Zijiang and said, "Come with me."

Immediately he lifted his feet and walked out. Seeing this, Lin Zijiang hurriedly followed.

But here he took her hand with a smile, looked worriedly and said: "Aunt Qin disciplines servants very strictly, sister must be careful."

Seeing that Hanxiao was so nervous, Lin Zijiang also guessed that this Aunt Qin must be not simple.So when he came out of the dining hall, Lin Zijiang followed Qin Qiushuang cautiously, not daring to speak.

Until he followed her into a house.Only then did Qin Qiushuang stop.Then she turned around and looked at Lin Zijiang.Her eyes seemed to be very sharp, which made Lin Zijiang feel a little uncomfortable.

After looking at it for a while, Qin Qiushuang finally said: "You are very powerful, you dare to break into the dungeon of the palace alone to rob the prison."

Lin Zijiang didn't know what she meant by bringing up this matter at this time. Could it be that she wanted to ask the teacher for a crime?So he said hastily: "Your servant dare not."

Qin Qiushuang raised his eyebrows and said, "If you really dare not, why are you causing trouble again today?"

"Aunt Mingjian, if they weren't aggressive, I wouldn't have caused trouble. Although I don't want to cause trouble, others don't want to let me go, and I can't let others bully me." Lin Zijiang separated.

"You are smart in your mouth. The prince didn't punish you before because of your previous status, but now that you are a maid, I can't let you break the rules." Qin Qiushuang said.

"Yes, the servant is willing to accept the punishment." Lin Zijiang listened to her tone and would not let him go easily, so he was willing to accept the punishment.

"You simply didn't plead for mercy. Sure enough, you are not the same as ordinary women. You still have the demeanor of a princess." Qin Qiulian said.

Lin Zijiang knew that she was making fun of him, and he must have been dissatisfied with her because he thought she was used by the emperor to humiliate King Yue.Therefore, it is said: "The servant knows that it is lucky to be humble and vulgar to enter the palace, and dare not extravagantly ask for the status of a princess. Now that she is fortunate to be able to serve the prince, she must dare not forget her duty."

"That's right, I'm the prince's nanny, so I can't tolerate anyone who is ambitious by his side." Aunt Qin said with some deep meaning.

"Yes." Lin Zijiang answered obediently.

"Since you know your mistake, then I won't punish you severely. Do you see a piece of open land here?" Aunt Qin pointed to a piece of bare land on her left, "It's a waste to leave it unused, so you can help me here Plant some cabbage."

"Growing cabbage?" Lin Zijiang asked in surprise.God, what kind of weird punishment is this.It's better to kneel for a few hours like Pu Tao and the others. If you want to grow cabbage on this wasteland, doesn't it mean that the punishment will last for several months?
"Yeah, I'm old too, and I don't like flowers and plants, so it's better to grow some vegetables." Aunt Qin said with a sigh.

"But the lord still has a lot of things waiting for me to do." Lin Zijiang pretended to be incredulous.Up to now, the only thing left to do is try to use Chu Yue to suppress her.

"It's not a conflict. After you finish the business with the prince every day, come to me to help me grow vegetables. I won't be too harsh on you, just work for two hours a day." Qin Qiushuang said in a relaxed tone Said.

But Lin Zijiang couldn't relax, two hours?Don't you want to work until dark.This woman said on the surface that she didn't make it difficult for herself, but assigned her such a difficult job, she was really as black-bellied as Chu Yue.

Taking advantage of Lin Zijiang's silence, Qin Qiushuang continued, "Then loosen the soil first." After speaking, he pointed to the hoe leaning against the wall.

"Now?" Lin Zijiang asked with wide-eyed eyes, "But Wang Ye..."

"Don't worry, I will tell the prince. You will be responsible for loosening the soil this afternoon." Qin Qiushuang interrupted Lin Zijiang.

"Yes."

Lin Zijiang had no choice but to pick up a hoe and start loosening the soil.I thought, if I knew this, I might as well stay at Lu Ba's place and listen to him tell the history of his weapons.It's better than being a coolie here.

But just after two or three hoes, Lin Zijiang found that the hoe seemed to have hit a hard object.

Lin Zijiang thought it must be some kind of stone, so he wanted to take it out with his hands.But after digging away the soil next to it, what appeared in Lin Zijiang's hands was indeed a piece of white bone.

And judging from the shape of this bone, it should be a human bone...
