Concubine's true colors

Chapter 33 Lan Zhi was punished
Lan Zhi, who was originally full of sarcasm, was startled by Xiao Jinxuan's words, and looked at the other party with aggrieved eyes.

He argued in a very low voice: "This pigeon soup is so hard to bear, and the maid feels sorry for the young lady, and she overstepped the point because the maid was too anxious."

Xiao Jinxuan heard the words, glanced at Lan Zhi, and said in a cold tone: "In this way, you still have good intentions. Is it true that Miss Ben talks about you?"

Lan Zhi waved her hands again and again, and said anxiously: "Miss, don't say that, as long as you know the mind of the servant, the servant will be satisfied."

Xiao Jinxuan raised her eyebrows, and then said calmly: "Okay, Lan Zhi, go to the warehouse and bring me the blood ginseng that the sixth prince sent me a few days ago."

After Ji Lingfeng and others left that day, the sixth prince sent a lot of things in the name of suppressing surprises, and she naturally had a share, and this blood ginseng was among them.

Lan Zhi was taken aback when she heard the words, but she didn't say anything after all, but when she turned to leave, she gave Wen Xin and Bai Shu a bad look, and went out.

After Lan Zhi left, Xiao Jinxuan said gently: "Wenxin, Baishu, eat more if you are hungry, don't be too polite, don't let go."

In her previous life, Xiao Jinxuan lived on Zhuangzi, so she could interact with these lowest-level people calmly. After all, she also survived the hard times, and never felt in her heart that she was superior to anyone else.

Even compared to those high-ranking officials who are intriguing, she really feels that ordinary people are more at ease to make friends with.

Wenxin has returned to her cheerful appearance now, holding pigeon soup, drinking to her satisfaction

After drinking it all in one breath, he burped and asked, "Cousin, what's your name?"

Bai Shu, who had been silent beside him for a long time, felt less nervous now, and answered, "The fourth lady is called Xiao Jinxuan. Grass can relieve worries, but in fact it is also a medicinal herb.”

Xiao Jinxuan listened quietly, and finally asked: "Bai Shu sees that you have a good conversation, but you have studied and know a lot about medicinal materials."

Hearing this, Bai Shu nodded slightly: "I have read a few medical books with my father since I was a child, and my father taught me the characters."

As soon as Liu Langzhong was mentioned, she couldn't help crying again in her eyes.

Seeing this, Xiao Jinxuan sighed and said, "It just so happens that I lack someone who understands medicine by my side. If you want, just stay by my side."

This happened to be overheard by Lan Zhi who came back from picking up the ginseng, and when she saw her enter the door, she said: "Miss, our yard is fully staffed, and this unknown person is really not suitable to stay."

In fact, she said this out of selfishness. Seeing Xiao Jinxuan, her attitude towards her became increasingly indifferent. If this Baishu came, it would definitely affect her position.

There are only two positions for the first-class maidservant, how can Lan Zhi be willing to have multiple people to compete with her.

Xiao Jinxuan took the blood ginseng, but smiled indifferently and said: "Yes, the yard is full of people, but it's okay, just send one out."

Lan Zhi was startled when she heard this, because Xiao Jinxuan was usually very talkative, a maid was cleaning the yard before, and accidentally smashed all the large sapphire vases in the yard, and she never saw the other party scolding, let alone kicking people out.

Now she doesn't remember who made a serious mistake in the yard, why this Miss Fourth is about to drive someone out if she speaks.

Driven by curiosity, Lan Zhi asked suspiciously: "Miss, who are you trying to drive away? Those little girls in the courtyard have been very quiet recently. This is not good."

As soon as this Bai Shu came, the young lady did not hesitate to drive him away because of her, the more Lan Zhi thought about it, the angrier she became, and she didn't like seeing him enter the hospital even more.

I saw Xiao Jinxuan handing the blood ginseng to Wen Xin, and then said calmly: "Yes, they are all quite safe, and I didn't say I would drive them away. Lan Zhi, you can pack up later, and then you can leave. I don't need you to wait on me from now on."

As soon as she said this, everyone in the room was stunned, and Zhu Zi, who had always been a good friend with Lan Zhi, said in disbelief: "Miss, you are joking, you really want to drive Lan Zhi out of the hospital."

Ever since she came back from Zhuangzi with Xiao Jinxuan, she has been very close to Lan Zhi. Zhuzi didn't understand anything at first, and it was the other party who taught her little by little. of.

And Bai Shu was even more flustered, she felt that Xiao Jinxuan was going to drive others away because she had come, and she was about to stand up and intercede for Lan Zhi, but Wen Xin stopped her and motioned her not to speak.

Wenxin has lived in hardship since childhood, and her ability to observe words and emotions has been practiced like a fire.

From the moment he came in, he felt that Xiao Jinxuan's attitude towards Lan Zhi seemed to be very cold.

He felt that the other party's remarks were definitely not because of Bai Shu, and he was afraid that there were other reasons, so he stopped Bai Shu to save her from saying something wrong.

Lan Zhi was also stunned, and when she came to her senses, she immediately knelt down on the ground, and said with a puzzled face: "Miss, the maid asked herself that she is loyal to you, and she would not dare to steal and play tricks on weekdays, so why is this girl here? You are going to drive me away, Lan Zhi refuses to accept."

Xiao Jinxuan looked at Lan Zhi coldly, and sneered in her heart. It seemed that she was too easy to talk, and the talented bamboo Lan Zhi dared to question her face to face.

If I don't give them a long memory today, I'm afraid they will have to go to the roof tiles tomorrow.

She smiled slightly, and said in a very soothing tone: "Loyal and loyal? Don't you cheat? Let me ask you, Lan Zhi, I told you to follow Mother Bai that day. You said that letter, she really Burnt, isn't it?"

Even though half a month has passed since this incident, Xiao Jinxuan never forgot how dangerous that day was. If she hadn't touched Yucui with a moment of kindness, it would have been a disaster if her handwritten letter was left behind.

At that time, Lan Zhi was still swearing, telling her that the letter was destroyed, it was a piece of nonsense, and it almost caused her misfortune. If it wasn't for the snowstorm, she would not have had time to choose a maid. It will not be used again.

Lan Zhi was taken aback for a moment, and then said in a panic: "Yes, yes, the maid looked at Mama Bai with her own eyes and burned the letter. Miss has been here for so long, why do you ask this?"

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan sneered, then got up and came to the desk, suddenly took out a piece of letter paper from a classic book, and slammed it on the table.

And asked sternly: "Since you have seen it with your own eyes, why is this letter now in my hands? It's really disgusting."

Lan Zhi was guilty at first, because she really didn't see it that day, so she ran back in fright, but now that she was exposed, she dared not speak hard anymore.

Immediately begged for mercy and said: "Miss, this servant was confused for a while, and lied because I was afraid that you would punish me. This servant will not dare next time, please give me another chance."

But Xiao Jinxuan raised her eyebrows, and said coldly: "You just left obediently, and I won't argue with you anymore, but if you insist on arguing with me, then I have to punish you, come on, take the bamboo Bring in the ruler and give me a hard slap on her mouth."

The waiters outside listened to it, and took the bamboo ruler after a while, two maids held Lan Zhi down, and the other one was about to do it, but Xiao Jinxuan stopped her.

"Zhuzi, slap your mouth, don't stop if you slap your mouth less than twenty times."

After Xiao Jinxuan finished speaking, she sat down directly, leaned on the back of the chair and narrowed her eyes.

In fact, her punishment was not severe. Compared with Lan Zhi's lie, which almost caused her to be set up by others, this is a small punishment and a big warning, which is nothing.

But this stumped Zhuzi, she and Lan Zhi had a deep relationship, no matter how they could get down, the hand holding the bamboo ruler kept shaking, raising and lowering it, but couldn't hit it for a long time.

"If you don't do it, get out with Lan Zhi, I can't stay here, a disobedient slave."

Xiao Jinxuan still didn't open her eyes, and said so old-fashionedly. In fact, she is leaning on the back of the chair now, she doesn't look like a teenage girl at all, a kind of calmness that doesn't match her age, shocking everyone present, none of them Those who dared to intercede, even swallowed the words of the bamboo to their lips in fright.

In fact, this is not surprising. She was in her 20s when she died in her previous life. Although she looks 11 years old now, she is an adult in her heart.

In addition, she was a former princess, and she was afraid of embarrassing Ji Lingfeng at the beginning, so she studied hard, palace rules and etiquette.

Now invisible, this kind of demeanor is revealed, and the deterrent effect is naturally considerable.

Zhuzi was forced to cry now, thinking that if she didn't make a move, she would be chased away, so she gritted her teeth and waved down the bamboo ruler in her hand regardless of Lan Zhi's pleading.

"Ah, stop hitting, miss, woo woo woo..."

After only five feet down, blood oozes from the corner of Lan Zhi's mouth, and she howls in pain, her appearance is very miserable.

Zhuzi also trembled in fright, and burst into tears with a loud wow, but thinking that Xiao Jinxuan had ordered twenty times, the bamboo ruler in his hand did not dare to stop, so he swung it down again and again while crying.

In the end, Zhuzi didn't know how many times he had hit him, but Lan Zhi had already passed out with red and swollen cheeks and a mouth full of blood. Even a tooth was knocked out and fell to the ground covered in blood. .

"Okay, the bamboo is ready." Xiao Jinxuan's cold voice sounded.

Although the voice was cold, it was like the sound of nature in Zhuzi's ears. Throwing away the bamboo ruler as if he had been granted amnesty, Zhuzi didn't even dare to look at Lan Zhi, crying and said: "Miss, Zhuzi did as you said, don't rush I'm going."

Xiao Jinxuan stood up, motioned for the three maids to pull Lan Zhi away, stepped forward to help the bamboo and said, "Don't blame me for forcing you, I just want you to remember how you feel today, do you know if it wasn't for me that day? Be vigilant, just based on that letter, it's not the second sister who is being imprisoned in the family temple now, it should be me, Xiao Jinxuan."

Zhuzi was stunned when she heard the words, she naturally knew what happened that day, although she didn't quite understand, but she also knew that because of Lan Zhi's lie, her young lady almost encountered a terrible thing.

Thinking about it this way, Zhuzi didn't feel sorry for Lan Zhi anymore, but said anxiously: "What is that lady still keeping that letter for, you should destroy it quickly."

Xiao Jinxuan smiled, turned around and picked up the so-called handwritten letter, and lifted it up, it turned out to be a blank sheet of paper.

Zhuzi was puzzled again: "Miss, this is not your handwritten letter at all."

Xiao Jinxuan explained softly: "I destroyed such a dangerous thing at the first time. I tried Lan Zhi just now. If she really saw the letter paper being burned at that time, even if I showed the so-called evidence, she would be ashamed. If you are wronged, then I believe that she was deceived by Mama Bai's tricks, and she didn't hide my intentions on purpose."

Zhuzi nodded, and suddenly realized: "But when she saw the young lady take out the blank paper just now, because she was guilty, she didn't even look at it, so she recruited it. That's why the young lady concluded that she lied that night."

Xiao Jinxuan just smiled, unwilling to continue entangled in this matter.

He changed the subject and said: "Today, Lan Zhi is just to remind you that you must know how to work in the future, otherwise I will be framed, and you will never escape."

She is not scaremongering, something happened to Xiao Jinlian, one of the maids around her ran away, she was either killed by a stick, or sold out, none of the endings were good.

When Bai Shu and Zhu Zi heard the words, they were both thoughtful and silent.

Wen Xin on the side saw this, but said with a smile: "This big family has many ways. Fortunately, I am not your servant, otherwise I would be really afraid of you."

Xiao Jinxuan smiled when she heard the words, and jokingly said: "I thought you were an enthusiastic and filial person, and I wanted to find you a job in the mansion. Since you are so afraid of me, then forget it, and take this blood ginseng to honor you. Mother, don't come here."

After hearing this, Wen Xin was stunned. Many people wanted to work in Xiao's mansion, but the fourth lady was willing to let him come.

Ecstatic in his heart, he quickly said: "Miss is kind-hearted, this is pity for me, what I said just now was nonsense, if the miss uses me, I will definitely work hard and be loyal, and I will only listen to you in this life. "
