first class maid

Chapter 7 The Root of the Disaster (1)
"Does it matter who it is? The important thing is that everyone is in the same boat now, and you are wrong about what happened this afternoon." Finally, someone who saw what happened this afternoon spoke up.

"That's right, I saw it too. It was you who pushed Xun Zhen out, and then pretended to be Xun Zhen slandering you." The little palace lady who said this even walked up to Xun Zhen and comforted her: "This afternoon is because I'm afraid that's why I didn't tell what I saw, you won't blame me, will you?"

This is a girl with a round face, and now her round eyes are shining with guilt, "No." Xun Zhen replied with a smile.

"Great." The girl smiled sincerely while holding Xun Zhen's hand.

Yu Ruyi didn't expect that she wanted to bully Xun Zhen, but in the end everyone would sympathize with her, so she angrily stepped forward and grabbed the little maid who had shown her love to Xun Zhen, "Lu Rong, do you know who she is?"

Lu Rong shook off Yu Ruyi's hand, "Yu Ruyi, isn't your heart too dark?"

Yu Ruyi pointed at Xun Zhen and said to the crowd: "Her grandfather and father were both traitors, and both Xun Fang and Xun Yi were executed for collaborating with the enemy and treason."

The case of the Xun family was well known to the whole country some time ago, but it was unexpected that the descendants of the Xun family were also demoted as court ladies.

Xun Zhen clenched his hands tightly, looking directly at Yu Ruyi's smirk, and now because of Yu Ruyi's words, the whispers around him kept coming into his ears.

"My grandfather and father are not traitors." Xun Zhen looked at the group of little court ladies who were talking about her family's case, and argued angrily that their Xun family was a loyal family, and her grandfather and father were slandered.

Immediately, the slander gradually ceased.

"Dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix, mouse begets sons and digs holes in the ground, your family is a traitor, and you are the descendant of traitors." Yu Ruyi stepped forward and said with a raised face.

Xun Zhen told himself to be patient, isn't the lesson this afternoon not enough?But, "You are not allowed to slander my grandfather and father." I couldn't help but push towards Yu Ruyi's chest.

Not to be outdone, Yu Ruyi pushed back, "I'll say it, I'll say it, your grandfather and father are traitors."

"You are not allowed to say." The two gradually wrestled into a ball.

"I just said that your grandfather and father are traitors..."

The little palace ladies standing next to them were at a loss, and they were all frightened by Xun Zhen's life experience. In the past, the Xun family was the family of the first general in Huaguo.

Such a big commotion attracted Wang Nvshi, and a woman in a light green palace dress beside her shouted, "What are you doing? Stop it."

With this loud shout, everyone got out of bed and stood in two rows. Xun Zhen and Yu Ruyi both separated, their hair was disheveled and hurriedly got out of bed, and stood aside, looking at each other dissatisfied.

"It's you two again, Xun Zhen and Yu Ruyi, haven't you two had enough trouble this afternoon? Xun Zhen, have you been kneeling for so long and still haven't woken up? You really are two troublemakers." The two little maids caused her troubles, especially now that they were all in a mess, Xun Zhen's face was swollen, and Yu Ruyi's face was bloodshot with several claw marks.

"Huh? Why are you back?" Wang Nvshi suddenly remembered that Xun Zhen was kneeling for punishment?

"Master Xu You Shanggong interceded for me, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pardoned me." Xun Zhen hurriedly revealed Xu You's name, and sure enough Wang Nushi stopped being suspicious after hearing her words.

"Wang Nu Shi, it was Xun Zhen who hit someone first." Yu Ruyi stood up and said.

Xun Zhen just stood with her head bowed. Even if she was punished for this, she would admit it. She would not allow anyone to slander her grandfather and father. Since she was a child, her grandfather often said that if the Xun family wanted to serve the country loyally, how could they be traitors?The son of the Xun family fought and defended his family and country all his life, and he ended up like this?There was a sudden soreness in her heart, and she sniffed hard, unable to shed any more tears.

"No, it was Yu Ruyi who provoked her first." The round-faced Lu Rong stood up and said something fair.

Yu Ruyi gritted her teeth and stared at Lu Rong fiercely, asking her to be troublesome?
"Okay, I won't pursue what happened tonight, but if there is a next time, don't blame me for being cruel. Everyone go to sleep and nothing happens again."

With an order, a group of little maids hurriedly got under the covers.

Xun Zhen also went to the bed, climbed onto the bed silently, and lay down under the quilt. Soon the lights went out, and the room was completely dark.

Although her body was very tired and her face was burning and aching, she didn't feel sleepy. The place where she was lying was just under the window. She looked up through the window and looked at the starry sky outside, thinking about her own thoughts.

While she was in a trance, the little maid who was sleeping next to her straddled her with one foot and wrapped her arms around her, and the sound of breathing could be heard in her ears. It seemed that the little maid was not sleeping well. Just as he was about to push her away, he heard a vague voice: "Mother."

It turned out that she was thinking of her mother just like herself, so she was about to push her hand away and let go. Those who also miss their mothers in the middle of the night let them keep each other warm.

In the early morning, the people who were still asleep were awakened by the sound of the loud gong. Xun Zhen rubbed his eyes and sat on the bed, but his consciousness was still not clear, but Wang Nv Shi walked in with a fierce face, "Everyone is up, don't leave the palace. Treat it as your own home, there are rules in the palace, two quarters of an hour to freshen up, and then gather in the main hall, do you understand?"

"Yes." The little maids hurriedly got out of bed, dressed and washed.

Xun Zhen took a towel from the cold water to wipe her face, but someone bumped into her from behind, and the water in the washbasin instantly spilled on the ground, and a lot of water splashed on her body, " Who is it?" She turned her head and saw Yu Ruyi looking at her with a smirk on her face.

"It's you again, what on earth do you want? I didn't even know you before, why did you trouble me everywhere?"

Yu Ruyi stuck out her tongue at her, turned around and prepared to walk away, but this time she refused to let her go, she grabbed Yu Ruyi's arm and pulled it hard: "Speak clearly this time."

Yu Ruyi shook off her hand, "Do you really want to know?"

It seems that they really had festivals in the past?She nodded.

Yu Ruyi suddenly laughed and said, "The eldest son of the Xun family has madness, do you remember?"
