Chapter 72
"What kind of dish is this! Not only is it cold, but it also smells strange, and it's still not for human consumption!"

"What can I do, my servant, I just brought food here as ordered, not to mention that it was because Madam copied the scriptures too late that the food was left to cool, how can the girl blame this servant?"

……

In the quiet side courtyard, there were two quarrels, which were particularly ear-piercing.

Ju Xing stood in front of the door with her hands on her hips, gritting her teeth in anger.Staring at the slave in front of her, her eyes were fierce, as if she was going to swallow her up.

However, the leading servant had a calm and disdainful look on his face, as if he felt that even arguing was a waste of words, and he didn't bother to talk to her at all.What else is there to be afraid of, an outdated lady who was driven to a remote place.If Nanny Han hadn't ordered to be polite to her, why would I have delivered the food myself.Thinking of this, she felt a little unhappy in her heart, and said to Ju Xing: "If the girl thinks that the servant is clumsy and late in delivering the food, then it happens that the servant is busy on weekdays and doesn't have the time to deliver the food every day. The girl is diligent, how about Just go get it by yourself every day, so as not to waste time and become a slave instead."

"There is no reason for Madam to pick up the meals by herself. You slaves are really rude. Hurry up and take these meals back and warm them up, or make new ones and bring them back."

The other party looked at each other when they heard the words, but they all laughed.

"What are you laughing at? Hurry up!" Ju Xing was a little annoyed.

The leading servant stopped smiling, but her face became even more contemptuous, and she said to Ju Xing: "Miss, calm down, do you think you are in the mansion? This is a side courtyard, and usually only those who have committed mistakes The family members will be sent here. If the servants hadn’t thought about the identity of the second wife or the wife, you should have done the rough work of washing and cooking. What’s more, the girl and I are both slaves. If you speak rudely again, I will report back Mammy told the master, when the time comes, the master will think that the second wife is still restless here, and I am afraid that it will not be of any benefit to the second wife and the girl."

Ju Xing's face was ashen, but she remained silent.Just as I was about to say something more, I suddenly heard someone calling my name behind me.

"Ju Xing."

When she turned her head, she saw that the second lady was standing in front of the door, holding on to the door frame, with a pale face.With his right hand holding the door frame tightly, his expression was very ugly.

"Ma'am, why did you come out? You have only copied twenty volumes of scriptures, so you should have a good rest in the house, let alone be careful of catching a cold late at night?"

Yan Shi didn't speak, but walked out with a gloomy face.

Seeing her coming out, the leading servant urged her to bow her head, and her attitude should be a little more respectful, after all, the Yan family still has the status of the second wife.

Yan Shi endured the anger in his heart, and he was reduced to this point, and he was even taunted by a slave.And all of this is thanks to Su Ruiran.She swore that all the humiliation she suffered today would be recovered in the future.

"Ju Xing."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Go and heat up these meals and bring them to my room."

"But ma'am..."

However, Yan's eyes were cold and he said: "Hurry up and follow what I said, and call the servants who came here with me by the way."

Although Ju Xing was unwilling, it was his wife's order after all, so she had to obey.He just said "yes", but he heard the leading servant on the other side say: "Second Madam, forgive me for speaking bluntly, those servants may not be able to serve you anymore."

"Why is that?" Yan's face showed surprise.

The servant explained: "Those servants have rough hands and feet, and they did something wrong as soon as they arrived here. According to the order of the eldest lady, such clumsy servants are not worthy to stay by Madam's side to serve, so they are sent to work elsewhere. Hard labor."

"You guys are so courageous! How dare you touch the people around me like that without saying a word! What about Nanny Han, let her come over and I have something to tell her." Yan couldn't hold his breath any longer. Relying on the people around her to send the letter out, who would have thought that Su Ruiran, a nasty girl, would be so vigilant that she would not even leave anyone around her, and she really wanted to completely cut off her escape path.

However, the servant girl just smiled when she heard the words: "Second Madam, calm down, the servant girls are also doing things according to the orders, not to mention they are the ones who did the wrong thing first. Originally, according to the rules, they were going to be kicked out of the house, but the young miss thought that they were serving the second lady." Madam's people, that's why we didn't drive them all out, but punished them slightly."

Ju Xing heard the words and said: "Who will take care of Madam from now on? Who will do the rough work?"

Hearing Ju Xing's words, Yan couldn't help frowning.Ju Xing is now sent by them to do other things every day, so that she can copy the scriptures alone, so she has to do the rough work by herself.How could this be possible, she couldn't bear it when she thought of this, and said to the slave: "There is no excuse for the crime, although I was sent to the side courtyard, but after all I am a madam, let your in charge Han Nanny come to see me."

The servant girl smiled again when she heard the words, and said to her: "Second Madam, please calm down, Mammy is busy with affairs in the side courtyard every day, and she really doesn't have time to come to see Madam. Besides, Madam should not disturb too many people with such a trivial matter. Well, if the master finds out about the trouble, he will scold Madam for being restless, and the servants are also thinking of Madam, if this really happens, then I am afraid it will be bad."

Yan Shi remained silent, and knew very well in her heart that it would be of no benefit to continue arguing, but how could she hold back this tone.She clenched her fists tightly with her hands hidden in her sleeves, but after a while, she suddenly let go of her hands, and her brows suddenly relaxed.I only heard her say: "Since those servants made mistakes, they should be punished."

She suddenly changed her attitude, which made the other party a little surprised, thinking that the second lady might be confused.

I only heard Yan said again: "However, I will be a little bit reluctant to be a master and a servant. I remember that there was a servant named Sui Er among them. Could you let her come over and I would say a few words to her, and I would say goodbye at that time." .”

"This..." The servant was embarrassed and was about to shirk, when Yan suddenly took off the jade ring in her hand, slipped it into her hand secretly, and said to her, "It's just a few words, it won't take long, such a request, Presumably, even if Nanny Han, who is in charge here, finds out, she won't refuse."

The servant touched the ring in his hand, the jade was cold but warm to the touch, knowing that it was a good thing, he couldn't help but secretly rejoiced, and quickly nodded in agreement: "Second Madam is so considerate of servants, it is also the good fortune of those servants , who are also slaves, but we are very envious, so naturally there is nothing we don't agree to."

"Thank you so much for that."

"The second lady is polite."

The servants turned and left, Ju Xing took the food from them, followed Madam and went back to the room.

The candles in the room were dim, which was the result of the servants deliberately shortening the candles. Like pulp paper, the purpose was to make it more troublesome for her to copy the scriptures.

Ju Xing put all the food on the table first, and said to her: "Madam, you should rest first, this servant will bring these food to warm you up immediately."

However, Yan shook his head, walked to the desk by himself, poured the remaining tea in the cup into the inkstone, and began to grind it by himself.

Ju Xing rushed over when she saw it, snatched the ink stick from her hand, and said anxiously: "Madam, what are you doing? Madam has been tired for so long, you should take a rest quickly. Whatever Madam wants to do, just tell the servants to do it right away." Yes." She thought that the second wife had never done such a thing even if she was grounded in the mansion on weekdays, and she was very worried when she thought about it.

However, Yan shook his head, did not sit down, but began to prepare paper and pens from the side.

Ju Xing turned her head and wanted to dissuade her from resting again, but suddenly met her cold gaze, and froze there.

"Ju Xing, do you know what people are most likely to take lightly? It's when we think that the chance of winning is when the opponent has no counterattack, and precisely at this time, it is our best chance."

As she spoke, she suddenly gritted her teeth and broke the penholder in her hand with force. There was a piercing chill in her eyes. No one had ever made her suffer the humiliation of today.Today's revenge, she is bound to repay it twice in the future.Su Ruiran, I will make you pay a hundred times the price for what you did today.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and then a servant's voice came in: "Second Madam, Sui Er has already brought it, please hurry up, Second Madam, don't waste time."

"Ju Xing, hurry up and bring people in." Yan ordered, and Ju Xing nodded and went out immediately.

Yan's heart secretly thought, Su Ruiran is extremely wary of herself now, so this time she has to rely on this slave.

In the camp outside the city, the night was as cool as water, and the cool wind mixed with water vapor was blowing the torches around the yurt, the flames danced, and the light and shadow flickered.

"Miss, it's getting late, and it's time for you to have dinner."

Su Ruiran raised her head when she heard the words, and was surprised when she saw the woman standing at the door, she couldn't help but said, "Yin He, why are you here?"

Nanny Wang followed her orders and did not come back. Originally, she planned to wait for Nanny Wang to come back before eating.

Yin He walked in, although he could walk on his own, but his legs and feet were still a little uncomfortable.Yin He has been recuperating since the last time, and she ordered to use the best medicine, so she also recovered very quickly.But if that's the case, Su Ruiran saw that her face was still a little pale and her figure was a little thin, so she couldn't help feeling worried, and said to her: "Didn't I already tell you that you don't need to come here until your injury is fully healed?" Come on, leave everything here to Mother Wang."

"My servant is worried about Miss, I really don't feel at ease. What's more, this servant has heard what happened in the mansion in the past few days, so I really feel that I have to come and see it."

Su Ruiran was slightly silent when she heard the words, thinking that she was still thinking of herself after all.After thinking about it, he called out the other servants in the room and pulled Yin He to sit down and talk.

"Look, am I fine? You, it's more important to heal your injury first, so don't worry about me anymore." She saw Yin He lowered her head, thinking that Yin He had good intentions after all, so He added, "But I'm glad you can come, and I haven't seen you for a long time."

However, after hearing her words, Yin He's face became more and more gloomy.

Realizing something was wrong, Su Ruiran couldn't help but ask, "Yin He, do you have something to say to me?"

Yin He didn't reply, but silently took out a jadeite hairpin from his sleeve. The jade was fresh and transparent, and it was an excellent treasure at first glance.

Such a precious thing is not something that an ordinary little servant can have.What's more, Yin He used to be by her side, and she had no power in the mansion, so how could anyone use such good things to curry favor with her.

Realizing something was wrong, Su Ruiran looked at her, and quickly asked: "Yin He, what's going on?" She was muttering in her heart, could it be that Yin He took advantage of someone while recuperating, and did something What are you sorry for doing?Are you going to come out of nowhere and confess to yourself?
However, as soon as this thought came up, she immediately interrupted it in her mind. What was she thinking? Yin He once almost gave up her life because of herself. Even if she doubted anyone, she couldn't doubt her.
