Dongmei left the upper room, turned around and entered the tea room.
Back then, Master Gu drank flower wine for several nights, and Gu Jiu took the opportunity to plant a small seed in Dongmei's heart. After several months, it finally took root and sprouted.
Chunhe didn't know it at all.
She returned to the Furong Courtyard, and came to Xie's side to serve her as usual.
There was something wrong with the atmosphere in the room, it was too serious.
Seeing Mrs. Xie's stern face, she asked, "What's wrong with Madam? But who made Madam angry?"
Xie stared at Chun He unkindly.
Chunhe saw the crumpled needlework, that, that was clearly hers. She left it in the room, how did it end up in the hands of the wife.
Chunhe's heart skipped a beat, she panicked, but her expression was calm.
"Madam would you like some tea?"
Xie snorted coldly, grabbed the needlework kneaded into pickles, and threw it directly on Chunhe's face.
Chunhe didn't dare to hide.
thump!
Just kneel down.
Xie sneered, "You did nothing wrong, what are you doing kneeling down?"
Chunhe's eyes rolled wildly, she made up her mind immediately, and said in a firm tone: "Madam knows the lesson. This servant is loyal to my wife and absolutely selfless. No matter where I am or what I do, my heart is always toward my wife."
Xie showed a sarcasm, "I haven't said anything, and you are anxious to explain. You really have a guilty conscience."
Chunhe suddenly cried, crying silently. Tears streamed down both sides of his cheeks.
She said in a crying voice: "As soon as the servant came back and saw his wife sulking, and saw the needlework done by the servant, the servant knew that he was wrong, a big mistake.
When Aunt Tan came in, the wife was in distress every day, and the slaves felt sorry for the wife. The servant girl thought that she must share the worries for the wife.
So he decided to do some needlework for the master in the name of his wife. When the master sees the needlework done by his wife 'hands-on', he may change his mind.
The slave girl didn't think about the matter carefully, she just wanted to share the worries for the wife, but she didn't expect to report to the wife. All this is the servant's fault, please punish the servant severely. "
Mrs. Xie was puzzled, "You really are helping me to share my worries?"
Chun He said with a firm expression: "The sun and the moon can learn from each other. If the servant has any selfishness towards his wife, I will definitely teach the servant to be struck by lightning from the sky, and he will die badly."
The world takes vows.
Hearing Chunhe's poisonous oath, Xie's expression softened a little.
"Get up, what are you doing kneeling?"
Chunhe wiped away her tears, "Thank you, madam. It's all the servant's fault, which made the madam sulk."
Chunhe stood up from the ground, her knee hurt a little, she endured it. With a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye, it is difficult to hide his outstanding appearance.
Picking up the teacup, Mrs. Xie said casually: "Some people say that you have selfish intentions and want to be the master's aunt."
Chunhe was startled, who was slandering her behind her back.
She hurriedly distinguished, "This servant is my wife's person in this life, and my wife's ghost when I die. I don't want any servants, I just want to stay by my wife's side to serve for the rest of my life. I'm afraid that my wife will think that this servant is old, clumsy, and not as clever as the little maids. .”
Xie's expression was indifferent, "You are old, and you should have married long ago. It is because I cannot do without you by my side, which has delayed your lifelong event."
"My wife killed my servant, my servant has never thought about lifelong affairs, my servant only wants to serve my wife by my side for the rest of my life."
Chunhe's feelings are so sincere that even she is almost moved.
In these years, she has served by Mrs. Xie's side, doing her best, and she has worked hard without credit. She just wants to find a life of glory and wealth for the rest of her life, why is it so difficult.
Mrs. Xie looked Chunhe up and down, "You have a heart. But I can't continue to delay your lifelong event. Don't worry, I will find a good marriage for you."
Chunhe was in a hurry, but didn't dare to show it, "The slave and maid don't want to marry."
Mrs. Xie stared at her and asked word by word: "Could it be that you want to be the master's concubine?"
Chunhe shook his head again and again, like a rattle.
"Slaves have never thought of it that way."
Xie said indifferently: "I also believe in you, and I won't be selfish like this. I'm tired, go down. Take your needlework with me too, and don't do needlework in the future. It hurts your eyes. Master, it's not a few A piece of needlework can save it."
Chunhe's heart was cold, it was over, she was completely over.
Chun He bowed in response, "Your servant obeys."
She took her messy needlework and walked out of the upper room with heavy steps.
She numbly returned to her bedroom and sat on the bed.
How did things become like this.
Guo Taohua passed by the door.
Chunhe came back to her senses and called out to her, "Taohua, come here for me."
Guo Taohua pushed the door open and entered the room, "Sister Chunhe, are you calling me?"
Chun He stared at her, "Who has entered my bedroom since I left?"
Guo Taohua shook her head, "No! I haven't seen anyone enter Sister Chunhe's bedroom."
"Then after I leave, who will serve by my wife's side?"
"Yes, it's sister Dongmei."
Dongmei
It turned out to be Dongmei.
Chunhe never expected that the person who complained to his wife was Dongmei.
Why did Dongmei want to kill her
She asked herself that she had never offended Dongmei, why Dongmei could not get along with her.
"Sister Chunhe, is there anything else?" Guo Taohua was a little nervous and at a loss. Always feel like something is going on.
Chun He waved his hand, "You go."
Guo Taohua left in a hurry, walked to the door, couldn't hold back, turned her head and said, "Sister Chunhe, don't be too sad. Being scolded by your wife is a common thing, you want to be more open."
Chunhe smiled with a bitter smile, "You have a heart."
Chunhe sat in the bedroom for nearly an hour, and finally calmed down.
She came to the tea room.
Dongmei greeted Chunhe as usual.
Chunhe smiled at her, then, with lightning speed, lifted the teapot on the stove and threw it at Dongmei.
"what… "
Dongmei jumped up and stomped her feet.
The teapot hit her foot, killing her.
The hot water in the teapot spilled out, flowing slowly, and wet the ground.
Fortunately, the water inside was not hot, otherwise Dongmei's feet would have been scalded.
Dongmei pointed at Chunhe, "Chunhe, are you crazy? I didn't provoke you, so why do you do it to me?"
Chunhe smiled coldly, "You know why I did it to you, you know best."
Dongmei felt guilty, she didn't expect Chunhe to know so soon.
Dongmei insisted, and refused to admit it, "I can't understand what you said at all. I'm going to find my wife to discuss why you did it to me for no reason."
Chunhe laughed mockingly, "Go!"
Chunhe stood closest to the door, and Dongmei had to pass by Chunhe's side if she wanted to leave.
Dongmei guarded against Chunhe and left cautiously.
Just as the two passed by, Chunhe grabbed Dongmei's hair violently, pulled her back, and punched Dongmei hard with his fists.
Of course Dongmei won't fight back after being beaten.
In a blink of an eye, the two maids were fighting together.
"Beat someone, beat someone!"
"Sister Dongmei and sister Chunhe are fighting, come quickly."
All the maids and maids in Furong Court ran towards the tea room.
A group of people surrounded the door, but no one persuaded them to fight.
It wasn't until Chuncao and Xiacao rushed to the tea room that they were pulled apart after exhausting all their efforts.
The two were pulled apart but kept struggling, fists waving.
"Let go of me, I have to teach her a lesson today."
"Why did you hit me?"
"It was you that I hit today."
Both Chunhe and Dongmei had messy hair, disheveled clothes, and scratches on their faces and arms.
When fighting between women, the most commonly used moves, scratching hair, scratching face, kicking stomach, were all used by the two of them.
"Stop beating. Be careful not to disturb your wife." Xia Cao persuaded.
Dongmei shouted, "I really want to ask my wife to comment on this matter."
Chunhe was furious, Dongmei ruined her good deed, and dared to clamor for his wife to judge.
She punched and kicked, "Let go of me, I must beat her to death today."
"Let go of her, I want to see if she has the guts to kill me today."
"Why are you fighting?"
Chuncao was so anxious that she couldn't hold back the two irritable people.
Dongmei laughed loudly, and pointed at Chunhe, "Ask her, ask her what good things she did behind her back. I have shameless thoughts on my mind, so don't let anyone tell me."
Chunhe's face was ferocious, "Who is shameless? Who are you calling shameless? I think it's clear that you have thought about being a concubine for the master."
Dongmei became anxious, "You are talking nonsense. It is clear that you want to be the master's concubine, and you are delusional to climb into the master's bed."
There was an uproar among the maids and maids surrounding the door. After a long time, the two fought for the sake of being the master's concubine.
Chunhe's face was hot, anxious and angry, and he was ashamed, "Today I will tear your mouth apart."
"Whose mouth are you going to rip?"
Still startled Xie Shi.
Mrs. Xie stood outside the tea room, and the maids retreated one after another, giving way to the door.
As soon as Mrs. Xie came, Chunhe and Dongmei calmed down.
Chuncao and Xiacao let go of the two of them, their hands were sore. They were both exhausted.
Mrs. Xie walked into the tea room.
His gaze shifted from Dongmei to Chunhe.
Xie's eyes were cold, and the two maids shivered in unison.
Xie looked at the messy tea room again.
There were smashed tea kettles, overturned stools, and briquettes everywhere.
"It's too shameful. Everyone kneel outside for me. No one is allowed to get up without my order."
Chunhe walked out of the tea room silently, and went to kneel in the yard outside.
"Madam!" Dongmei looked at Mrs. Xie cautiously.
Xie sternly said, "I told you to kneel, can't you hear me?"
Dongmei had no choice but to go outside and kneel with Chunhe.
Dongmei gritted her teeth and complained: "It's all right now, I've alarmed my wife, your life is finished."
Chunhe smiled coldly, "I'm done, and you're not going to get any better. Do you think that if you pull me off the horse, your wife will choose you to be the master's aunt? Let it be your daydream. Just rely on your beauty , what do you use to fight Aunt Tan?"
Dongmei smiled triumphantly, "I can't beat Aunt Tan, but I'm happy to be able to pull you down."
Chunhe felt great hatred in his heart, "I have no grievances with you, why do you want to target me? What good will it do you for you?"
Dongmei sneered, "I just can't get used to your shameful look, I just don't like to see you proud."
Chunhe shuddered in his heart, where did Dongmei have such malice towards her
She asked herself that she was not mean to Dongmei, why didn't Dongmei get used to her
Chuncao ran over, "Look at the good things you have done. My wife is angry, think about how to calm her down."
"What did your wife say?" Chunhe asked nervously.
Chuncao whispered: "The wife said, you are all grown up, you can't stay. If you stay, you will become enemies. The wife called Gao Sanfu and asked Gao Sanfu to say goodbye for the two of you. Once the marriage is settled, you will be married off. .”
Dongmei's face turned pale when she heard the words, "Why did Madam even send me away?"
Chuncao stomped her feet, "It's not because you both want to be aunts for the master, how can the wife tolerate you. You all know that the wife hates selfish people the most. This time I just sent you out, and didn't hit the board. , I didn’t beat you half to death, it’s my wife’s kindness. From now on, you can take care of yourself.”
Dongmei was dumbfounded.
Chunhe grinned, "You are the stupidest person I've ever seen, you deserve it for shooting yourself in the foot."
Dongmei burst into tears, "It's all your fault, it's all your fault. If you don't come to fight with me in the tea room, can I be abandoned by my wife? Chunhe, you hate you, I hate you forever."
Chun He giggled, "If you want to hate, hate yourself. If you didn't attack me, I wouldn't fight with you. Let me tell you the truth, before I went to the tea room, I expected this result. I said Come on, even if I am unlucky, I will also pull a back. You are the one with the back."
Dongmei regretted and hated at the same time. She never thought that Chunhe would be so vicious that she would drag her to death.
Dongmei cried uncontrollably.
Many thoughts flashed through Chun He's mind.
She can't sit still, she still has hope.
The wife gave up on her, but she couldn't give up on herself.
Dongmei and Chunhe knelt for three or four hours, and they didn't get up until midnight.
When I got up, my legs were not my own, and they hurt like needles.
Several little maids supported the two of them and dragged them back to the bedroom.
Dongmei cried all night, returned to the room, and continued to cry on the bed.
Chunhe was not idle, and asked someone to call for hot water to compress her knees.
As expected, Mrs. Xie asked Gao Sanfu to marry Chunhe Dongmei.
Gao Sanfu chose two servants.
One was in the stables, the other in the porter.
The news reached the ears of the two maidservants. Dongmei seemed to accept her fate, but Chunhe started to act.
Perhaps it was because of the marriage agreement between the two maids, Xie relaxed his guard on the two.
Chunhe finally found a chance to leave Furongyuan.
For a moment, a thought flashed through Chun He's mind, and he wanted to ask Gu Jiu for help.
But in a blink of an eye she rejected the idea again.
Gu Jiu didn't even have time to watch the excitement, how could she help her.
The story of her fighting with Dongmei has already spread throughout the mansion. Both she and Dongmei have become jokes in the whole house.
She can imagine how others talk about them.
But it doesn't matter.
She won't accept her fate until the end.
No one found Chunhe missing.
Chunhe has changed from a first-class maid in Furongyuan to the most unpopular person. No one cared about Chunhe's whereabouts, and no one went to the room to see if Chunhe was there.
It wasn't until the next day that the little maid who delivered the food realized that Chunhe was gone.
Report the news to Xie Shi.
"Missing?"
Mrs. Xie suddenly had a bad premonition, and hurriedly asked, "Where did the master rest last night?"
Chuncao hurriedly said, "It seems to be resting at Aunt Tan's place."
Xie gritted her teeth, "Follow me to see Tan."
If Chun He joins forces with Tan Shi, she will have to skin her.
If you dare to betray your master, there is only one way to die.
Mrs. Xie hurried out to the courtyard where Aunt Tan lived.
However, what did she see
She saw the master come out from the Acacia Courtyard, and the person following him was Chun He.
That's right, Aunt Tan's yard is next door to Acacia Courtyard where Aunt Bai lives.
Mr. Gu took a rest today, so he got up late.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the courtyard, he saw Mrs. Xie.
Master Gu looked a little embarrassed.
He stepped forward and asked, "Why are you here so early in the morning?"
Mrs. Xie glanced at Chun He who was standing behind Mr. Gu, and said calmly: "I have seen the master. There is a maid who got lost in my yard, so I came out to look for it. I didn't expect that she was by the master's side. How did the master come from lovesickness?" come out?"
As soon as the words fell, Aunt Bai came out from the Acacia Academy.
Aunt Bai, who was originally white and fat, still has a pale complexion, but she has lost at least two circles of weight.
Mrs. Xie was stunned, she had lost weight in just a few months.
Mrs. Xie didn't even think about it, how much work does Aunt Bai have to do every day, and she eats so little, can she not lose weight
However, Aunt Bai looked very old and haggard, her skin quality was much worse.
After all, it has not been properly maintained for several months.
With just one glance, Mrs. Xie has already judged that it is impossible for Master to let Aunt Bai serve him.
Last night, it must have been Chun He, a lowly maid who borrowed Aunt Bai's place to serve the master.
The condition is to let Aunt Bai get rid of the heavy labor and return to everyone's attention.
As for what happened to Aunt Tan, Mrs. Xie didn't figure it out for a while.
