Cannon fodder rules for face-slapping prostitutes

Chapter 125 Sister
Seeing Xiaomei's haughty appearance, Shu Yiyan smiled, and directly praised:
"It's really a beauty, what a pity..."

Xiaomei benefited from Shu Yiyan's praise, but what Xiaomei wanted to know was what Shu Yiyan said later. She raised her head and looked at Shu Yiyan with a gloomy expression, looking forward to her next words.

Shu Yiyan continued:

"It is said that my elder sister deliberately asked you to do some rough work. It is a pity. If it were in my yard, I would not be willing to let such a beautiful maid like you do some rough work. Look at your hands, they are rough and ugly. .”

Xiaomei withdrew her hands, feeling a little cramped. She lowered her head and looked at her hands, which were rough and swollen from washing clothes every day. She only had resentment towards Shu Qing. She used to follow her former master, and the most important thing was to take care of her face and little hands. In the past, her small hands were pale and slender, which was what she was most satisfied with, but now because of Shu Qing, they have become so rough and ugly, how could Xiaomei not hate Shu Qing to death.

Shu Yiyan may have seen Xiaomei's thoughts, and said:
"Since you will come here today, you must know why I am looking for you, right?"

Xiaomei immediately expressed her loyalty and said:

"It is a blessing that I have cultivated for several lifetimes for my servant to be appreciated by the second lady. The servant who understands current affairs is a hero, and the second lady is a dragon and phoenix among the people, with outstanding talents. The servant looks up to the second lady."

Even though Xiaomei said this, she lowered her head respectfully, but she didn't know that as a rough servant girl, she would not kneel in front of her master, which was enough to know how much she could be trusted.

Xiaomei was a first-class maid in the past, and she was still a trusted first-class maid. Her former master never asked her to kneel down, and she also forgot that today is different from the past.

A trace of displeasure flashed in Shu Yiyan's eyes. A servant girl who looked more arrogant than herself, except for being used as a pawn, no one would reuse it no matter who saw it. As a master, one must be loyal, As long as the servants advance and retreat.

But Shu Yiyan smiled and said:

"Since you are so insightful, that's great, but showing loyalty is not just talking about it. In this world, if you only know how to talk but can't do it, then all of these people will die quickly enough."

Obviously Shu Yiyan's smile at this time can be called friendly, but Xiaomei seemed to see a gloomy coldness, she felt a chill in her heart, and immediately said:
"Second miss, I heard that the eldest miss is raising money to buy some herbal medicine. What is it called Chixincao?"

Shu Yiyan narrowed her eyes when she heard this, she was the one who reminded Shu An that Chixincao was used to save Shu Yidong, but she didn't expect that Shu Qing was really the same as what Ning said, because it was not Shu Yidong's own daughter that Shu Yidong was afraid of. Ann's?
Shu Yiyan showed a mocking smile and said:
"I already know this. Eldest sister bought the red heart grass to save my father."

Shu Yiyan looked down on Shu Qing's act of buying red heart grass to please Shu Yidong in order to stay in the prime minister's mansion, and suddenly felt that such Shu Qing was as dull as before, and she could crush him to death with one hand.

But Xiaomei shook her hands again and again and said: "No, no, Second Miss, as far as the servants know, the Eldest Miss bought the Red Heart Grass not for the master, but for Wang Momo."

Shu Yiyan's eyes sharpened: "Nurse Wang?"

Shu Yiyan quickly remembered Wang Momo's identity. It was because Yin Qinghe's dowry list she wanted had always been with Wang Momo, and the most important thing was that when she was seven or eight years old, she heard that Yin Qinghe was in Wang Momo's hands. There is also the real inexhaustible treasure left by Yin Qinghe. If you can get those things, it will be much more precious than Yin Qinghe's dowry.

It's a pity that Mrs. Shu An is extremely greedy. Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Shu Yiyan tried to get Mother Wang away before, but they also knew that Mrs. Shu An attached great importance to the dowry list because they were afraid that Shu Qing would take back Yin Qinghe's Dowry, you must know that every woman's dowry is reserved for her own daughter, and her husband's family is not allowed to take it for herself.

So Ning and Shu Yiyan could only wait patiently. After six or seven years of observation, it seemed that Wang Mama really didn't have any unworldly treasures left by Yin Qinghe, so they rested their minds and went to get Yin Qinghe's dowry body.

Shu Yiyan has always spared no effort to curry favor with Shu An's family, just to get Shu An's family to give Yin Qinghe more dowry when she gets married. Yin Qinghe, as a merchant's daughter, is as rich as a country, and the dowry brought in back then made Ning's jealous. , Never gave up the idea of ​​taking it for oneself.

Shu Yiyan also often heard Ning's mention, so she was also very concerned, but Wang Momo had been with Shu Qing for so long, if Yin Qinghe really left something behind, she should have told Shu Qing long ago, but Shu Qing There was no movement, it is estimated that it really did not stay.

It's just that Shu Yiyan didn't expect, and Shu Qing didn't know if he was stupid, to spend a million taels of red heart grass for a servant.

Didn't you buy it for comfort?
Shu Yiyan found it interesting when she thought about it, she asked:
"I'm not interested in the matter of the red heart grass. I just want to ask, since you came, is there anything different in Big Sister's yard, or is there anything different about Big Sister?"

Although Xiaomei has been in the Qinghe Courtyard, she, a rough servant girl, can't hear the confidential things, and she only talked about the red heart grass, because it was too shocking. After learning from other maids, she could only shake her head truthfully. , wondering if Shu Yiyan would not want her anymore because of this.

Because of this, Shu Yiyan became even more convinced that it was purely a rumor that Yin Qinghe had left some treasures for Wang Momo, and told Xiaomei:

"From today onwards, your task is to help me keep an eye on Big Sister. Once Big Sister has any changes, you have to pass the news over, you know?"

"Your servant knows." Xiaomei replied very sincerely, Shu Yiyan waved her hand, and the first-class maid who brought Xiaomei in just now took out a money bag from her sleeve and gave it to Xiaomei.

After Xiaomei resigned, she couldn't wait to open the purse, and there were ten taels of silver in it. The ten taels of silver was the monthly silver of being a maidservant for five months. Others would think it was a lot, but Xiaomei used to be a first-class maid. Maid, she was sometimes rewarded with 20 taels by her former master, so she didn't think it was too much, but at least it was much better than Shu Qing's.

Xiaomei curled her lips, and when she approached the Qinghe Courtyard, she found two figures coming out of it.

Seeing that it was Shu Qing and Xue'er, she hurriedly hid aside and put the money in her sleeves. Seeing that Shu Qing seemed to have forgotten the direction of the ancestral hall, thinking of Shu Yiyan's words, she quietly followed.

She didn't startle the snake, she was a little far away, and saw Shu Qing and Xue'er actually entered a dilapidated yard with weeds growing outside the yard. I don't know if the mansion deliberately ignored this yard, this yard is really desolate.

Xiaomei glanced at the name, it was called Liheyuan, she had never heard of it.

She didn't know that the fifth aunt lived in the Lihe courtyard, she thought it was an uninhabited courtyard, her eyes lit up immediately, Shu Qing suddenly went to an empty courtyard, there must be some secret.

Xiaomei simply found a rockery to hide and guarded outside, thinking that she would go in to find out after Shu Qing left.

Shu Qing didn't know that she was being followed by Xiaomei. When she walked into the Lihe courtyard, she was shocked by the dilapidation of the Lihe courtyard. Looking at the dilapidated courtyard, Shu Qing knew that Wu Yiniang's life these years must not be good. It will be fine. The weeds along the way have dried up and sprouted new shoots. There are fallen leaves and thick dust on the corridor. There is no trace of cleaning. There are still a few relatively new footprints on the thick dust. Proof that this place has been there.

Shu Qing opened the door of the room where even the window paper was torn, and saw that the whole room looked like it had been unoccupied all year round, but there was still a person lying on the faded wooden bed.

Seeing such a dilapidated house, Xueer, who was following behind, felt very uncomfortable. She felt that Shu Yidong was too inhuman to ignore Wu Yiniang like this.

The quilt on the bed was a little shiny, its original emerald green color had already turned white, and the bed curtains were also yellowed after being used for more than ten years.

Of course, the most heartrending thing is the person on the bed, with silver threads on his head, and his face is no longer the fresh and beautiful face of the past, what is left is endless silence, with sunken cheeks, sunken eye sockets and a circle of black marks.

Although the whole body is under the quilt, the ups and downs are very small. From the skinny hands of the person on the bed, it can be seen that the body of the person on the bed must be even more skinny.

The person on the bed didn't know if they heard the sound of the door opening, even though Shu Qing approached, she still stared at the top of the bed without turning her head.

Shu Qing stepped forward, seeing Fifth Auntie's sallow face, felt a little sour for some reason.

She could see that although Wu Yiniang's skin was not plump at all, those facial features could still let Shu Qing easily know that Wu Yiniang must have been a very handsome person when she was young.

"Do you hate it?"

Shu Qing's voice was a bit ethereal, she didn't know why she asked this sentence as soon as she opened her mouth.

Maybe it's because she thought of her half a year in Qinyuan. At that time, she was often alone, but she was luckier than Fifth Yiniang. At least her body was healthy, and she could get out of bed and walk in the yard. , and although Qin Wan'er approached her with a purpose, at least she was there to accompany her through those boring days.

Fifth Yiniang seemed to know that someone had come in. Even if she was a puppet who had been in disrepair for a long time, she turned her neck stiffly, and her eyes, which were completely out of focus, flashed a flash of amazement the moment she saw Shu Qing. She didn't care about it soon, she didn't even care about herself, so how could she care about other things.

But when Xue'er saw Wu Yiniang, her face was full of tears, and she knelt down beside Wu Yiniang's bed crying loudly, shouting:

"elder sister!"

Shu Qing was startled, Xue'er has a sister?
Fifth Yiniang also looked in surprise at Xue'er, who was close in front of her and looked somewhat familiar.

Xueer's temperament is like a snow elf, with white jade skin and exquisite facial features, she is very much like her family in memory.

Fifth Yiniang's eyes finally widened, and an unbelievable light gradually appeared in those dead eyes, and her voice, which had not been spoken for a long time, made a sound like sawing wood:
"You... are... Xue'er...?"
