Chapter 26 Miss Cui's Confession
Miss Cui's family has changed a lot now.Her hair was neatly combed, and there were three or four filigree hairpins inlaid with gold and jade on it, and the pearls on the two earrings flickered, which were no different from the pair that Lu's mother treasured.She was wearing a peach red tulle shirt, a white pine skirt, and a red sweat scarf around her waist, with silver threads flashing faintly on it.A good amount of makeup was applied on her face, and she was painted carefully, which made her appearance three points better than before without makeup.

When she saw Chun Ying enter the door, she stood up excitedly: "Sister Chun'er! You're back?!"

Chunying came to her senses, and said casually, "Yes, Sister Cui, when did you come back? Are you on vacation today?"

Miss Cui pursed her temples cautiously: "Ah...yes...there are two elder sisters in Huanhuaxuan who are going out to match someone. It happened that my mother asked someone to deliver a letter, saying that she was ill, so I begged the third young master's grace to go home and see my mother."

"Aunt Cui is sick?" Chunying looked at the normal widow Cui, and found no sign of illness in her.

Widow Cui sneered and said, "It's just an old headache. I just said that because I missed you, Sister Man."

"Oh..." Chunying nodded and smiled, "This is a rare opportunity, so please talk to me, and I won't disturb you." After that, she was about to go home, and it was almost time to cook.

"Sister Chun'er!" Miss Cui stepped forward and grabbed her, "You...you don't go..." After a pause, she blushed and said, "Let's talk. I'm going back before dark. Because you are not here, I waited until this time."

Chunying was a little strange: "Wait for me? Why? Are you busy?"

Miss Cui's eyes turned red suddenly, and she knelt down slowly.

Chunying was startled, and quickly supported her: "What are you doing?!"

But Miss Cui still refused to get up: "I am sorry for you, I know, you must have annoyed me..."

"What are you talking about? Who is annoying you? Get up!" Chunying anxiously looked up at Widow Cui, "Aunt Cui, please help me." This little girl is so young, but she is so strong!She couldn't pull it up no matter what.

Widow Cui didn't help, but wiped her tears with a handkerchief, then slowly knelt down, as if she was planning to kneel down too: "It's all my fault... Man'er hurt you because of me..."

Chunying was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, and she was not angry anymore. She simply avoided it and said harshly, "Are you trying to shorten my life? When did I offend you?!" Glancing outside, it seemed that someone had already found this place Aunt Ma was looking out of the window of her house, and her two naughty sons also craned their necks to look at the gate of the courtyard. Liu Xier opened the window and was squinting over, even her old mother couldn’t bear it. Opened the window and looked out.

Widow Cui stood up straight, wiped her tears and persuaded her daughter: "Get up, don't make Chun'er angry with you."

Miss Cui nodded with tears in her eyes, helped her mother to sit on a chair beside her, then choked up and said to Chun Ying: "Sister Chun'er, I was wrong at the beginning. In fact, I lied to you. You got a job in the third young master's house that day. Although I was joking for a while, I begged you to give it to me, but you refused. You have been thinking about going into the mansion, how could you be willing to give up the errand to others? "

Chunying's heart trembled, she quickly calmed down and listened to her next words.

"Later you were ill, and as soon as I heard that you might not be able to get in, I tried every means to get rid of the errand. When Mrs. Guan came to get you, I even vented your secrets, which made you lose your errand. I'm a pig." I'm confused, I'm damned..." Miss Cui was out of breath from crying, and it took a while before she continued, "I didn't dare to ask you to forgive me, but... I really had to. You may have I forgot, I lost my father since I was a child, my mother and son depend on each other, and because I have no errands, the monthly share of silver and rice is the least. If it is not thanks to the help from the uncles and aunts, I don’t know what will happen. But not all the uncles are as kind-hearted as Uncle Lu. My mother is soft-tempered and dare not offend others. She was afraid of delaying me. They are also gradually moving away from her, I see it in my eyes, it's really uncomfortable..."

Widow Cui's mouth trembled, and she turned around and rushed to the bedside to cry in a low voice. Miss Cui also sat down on the chair softly, covering her face and weeping.Chunying was a little sad, and didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only say embarrassingly: "My mother...in fact, she didn't have bad intentions..."

"Aunt Lu is a good person." Miss Cui wiped her tears, "Even if others said bad things about my mother, she didn't stop Uncle Lu from delivering things. If she hadn't misunderstood me for harming you, our two families wouldn't be here. Today's situation... Sister Chun'er, I won't hide it from you. I have been full of grievances these years. Our mother and son have been poked in the back countless times. Walking on the road, people always say that my mother is a vixen , my mother dared not go out, I went shopping for her, and when I took an extra step, some people laughed at people who were unruly, and smiled at them, and they were said to be trying to seduce people... In addition to you, there are no other people in the courtyard. Is there anyone willing to talk to me? But what have I done that is outrageous? My mother was also bullied, why does everyone blame her? That Wang Laosan is a scumbag who comes to force my mother every now and then. No one said anything, if I don't try to find a backer in the mansion, my mother will be killed by him!"

Hearing these words made Chunying feel even more sour, thinking that Miss Cui was only thirteen or fourteen years old.When I first met her, because she was taller than my transmigrated body and moved steadily, I always felt like an older sister, but now sitting on a chair, I realized that she was actually a little girl, no more The protection of the father, it is not easy to protect the mother and support the family at a young age.

Chunying reached out and patted her shoulder gently, and said softly: "Don't cry, it's all over, isn't it good now? You have an errand, the family is more prosperous, and Aunt Cui can enjoy some blessings. "

Miss Cui choked with sobs and raised her head, "This is all thanks to my sister...but I stole my sister's blessing. This should be yours..."

"This is confusing!" Chunying laughed, "There are a lot of people entering the mansion, but not everyone can get ahead. Even if I get in, I can't do as well as you. You can get promoted because of My own efforts. In fact...Actually, I don’t remember anything at that time, I don’t know anything, even if I go in, I can’t do well. Sister Cui entered the mansion for me, which really helped me a lot.”

Miss Cui trembled suddenly, bit her lip, and asked, "Your sister really thinks so?"

"Of course." It was absolutely true.

Miss Cui's eyes were red again: "After all, I was the one who harmed my sister... I heard that the two ladies before me chose a girl, and my sister went too, but who would have guessed that many girls made trouble first, and then they were run off by Sister Feng Lian. If it wasn't for How could my sister be wronged when I robbed you of your job back then?"

Chunying didn't take this matter to heart at all: "I heard my mother said that, that girl is the daughter of Mrs. Wu, right? Last time my mother quarreled with Mrs. Wu and she was kicked out by Aunt Xu Three months Yinmi, she is holding a grudge, what does it have to do with you? And I don't want that errand at all, long before Sister Lian said anything, I had already been hooked. "

"But my sister has missed the good job twice in a row..." Miss Cui lowered her head and said, "If it wasn't for me... my good sister, if I could find you a job in Huanhuaxuan, you... what do you think? ?”

"Huanhuaxuan?" Chunying thought for a while, remembering that it was the residence of the third young master, and hurriedly said, "No need, no need, even if you get promoted, you are still far away, don't worry about it."

Miss Cui was a little surprised: "But didn't you always want to enter the palace? Except for the old lady's yard in the mansion, even the third young master is best served as an errand. The work is not heavy, and there are often rewards. When you mentioned it at that time, always It's a look of envy, ever since I got the job, I've talked about it in front of me every day, and I asked you to give it to me jokingly, but you almost turned your back on it."

Chunying smiled: "That was in the past, now... I live a good life, it doesn't matter whether I enter the mansion or not, the life outside is actually more comfortable!" Anyway, she still loves freedom more than Because of the yearning for a wealthy life.

Miss Cui was silent and did not speak. Chunying looked at the sky and realized that it was getting late, so she hurriedly said, "I still have to cook. Sister Man and Aunt Cui should chat slowly, and come back often when you have time." Turn around and walk out.

Miss Cui opened her mouth, but she still didn't make a sound. After a while, her eyes turned red and she called softly, "Mother..."

Widow Cui walked over gently, watched Chunying go away, forced a smile and said: "Silly boy, Chun'er has reconciled with you, why are you crying?"

Miss Cui shook her head, choked up and said: "Mother, you don't understand... Chun'er is still blaming me... I only found out after entering the mansion... Some people say the same thing in person, but they don't know what they think in their hearts." It's another matter... A sister who was working with me saw that I poured tea for the third young master for her. Although she smiled and said she didn't care, she turned around and almost kicked me out of the house .Chun'er has grown up too... Look at her tone of voice, how is she still like the silly girl she was back then? She has always wanted to enter the mansion, even if she forgot the past, she will not completely change her mind. Who would think that the life outside is more Strong in the mansion? Mother, you have also worked in the mansion, so you naturally know that the inside and the outside are one heaven and one underground!"

Widow Cui said sadly: "Then what can we do? Forget it, as long as we have a clear conscience..."

"But I can't have a clear conscience!" Miss Cui bit her lip, "I owe her this! Now that I'm living a better life, my mother is not afraid of being bullied anymore, but she is still living outside!"

"Then..." Widow Cui hesitated, "You can find an errand for her? If I'm with you, maybe I can take care of her more."

Miss Cui thought for a while, and her expression gradually became firm: "Yes! Since I made a mistake, I should make up for it!" At least, she will feel less guilty in her heart, and others will condemn her less...
