Linglong Court
"Miss, you are back, you scared the slaves to death."
Hongxiu's eyes were red and her eyelids were twitching non-stop. Seeing that Concubine Xiao was safe and sound, she felt at ease.
Concubine Xiao rolled her eyes at her red sleeves, "Look at how promising you are, what else can I do."
"I don't know who was talking nonsense, and let the miss out right away, but don't let the slaves catch me!"
Hong Xiu waved his fist angrily.
Concubine Xiao sneered, "Who else is there? It's just that some people don't want to see us. Someone came behind us yesterday."
As soon as Concubine Xiao reminded her, Hongxiu came to her senses, "It's Missy!"
This time, Caiju happened to walk in, her eyes were slightly red.
Miss Xiao raised her eyebrows, "What's going on?"
Hongxiu also looked along the line of sight, and Caiju paused, "It's useless to be a servant. The servant followed after seeing Hongluan sneaking around. I didn't expect that when I came back, the bed of the servant was all wet, and several clothes were also soaked. It was cut and a piece of jade pendant was lost, although it is not worth much, it was given to the slave by the slave's mother before she died."
Concubine Xiao frowned. It had been so many days since she came back, and the maids in the yard hadn't had time to clean up. Taking this opportunity, Concubine Xiao must take good care of it.
"Do you remember who it is?" Miss Xiao asked sharply.
Caiju shook her head, "I don't know, I just found this by accident under the bed."
Caiju spread her hands, a small pearl earring lay in the palm of her hand.
This is an example for a maid, and they are all prepared uniformly.
"Go and call all the maids in the yard. If they don't come after a quarter of an hour, they will be sold directly!"
Xiao Concubine raised her chin, and said to Hong Xiu, Hong Xiu let out a hey, and ran out in a hurry.
Caiju froze for a moment, tears welling in her eyes, "Miss..."
"Caiju, since you are already the big maid by my side, what I want is a big maid who can hold power, discipline the little maids, and share the burden for me."
Xiao Concubine paused every word, Caiju was slightly stunned, and bit her lip guiltily.
"The slave has let the miss down."
"Later, I'll give you one last chance. It's up to you whether to go or stay."
As Xiao Concubine said, she had already walked out, Hong Xiu had already gathered all the people and stood under the yard.
Hong Xiu counted the number of people, "Miss, there are twenty-five people in total, two people are missing."
Concubine Xiao raised her eyebrows, "Who is it?"
"Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Li."
Concubine Xiao curled her lips, these two have always been cheating and slippery, they are full of fools, they often instigate the little maids to be lazy, and their favorite thing is to inquire about the news of the inner courtyard.
"Close the courtyard door and don't let anyone in." Xiao Yan raised her eyebrows and ordered in a cold voice.
Only those who work in Linglong Pavilion will know that Linglong Pavilion has good errands, plenty of money and leisure, so many people have to squeeze their heads into it. Today is the first time I see Miss Nine so angry, and I can't figure it out for a while What do you mean, look at each other.
"Yes!" Hong Xiu quickly closed the door.
Concubine Xiao stood in the corridor with a cold face, "I'll give you half a stick of incense time to find out all the earrings, not one less."
"earrings?"
"What are you looking for?"
"I told you to go, what are you talking about?" Hongxiu stood in the porch with a straight face, angrily reprimanded with displeasure, with his hands on his hips, quite imposing.
"yes!"
The maidservants scattered like birds, and quickly returned to the room, looking for earrings, some of them were missing and lost, they turned around anxiously, rummaged up and down, and when they found them, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister Hongluan, why did Miss suddenly summon everyone, is she trying to vent her anger for Caiju?"
A little maid said anxiously, and soon another maid came over, her face a little pale.
"That's right, Hong Luan, Miss is not angry, right? You serve Miss the most, you should understand Miss's temper, tell me quickly, we won't be in bad luck."
Hong Luan bit her lip and waved her hand, "No, the lady was also angry with me for a moment, blaming me for accidentally stepping on the master's favorite flower, and picking chrysanthemums as a poor servant girl, what can she know? Why don't you call me back to your side, and then you will know who is the most considerate after comparison, and as for the chrysanthemum picker, you can go wherever you come from."
Hong Luan looked indifferent, but in fact she was not sure, ever since Concubine Xiao came back from the Jokhang Temple, she had changed, she pushed herself away step by step, and finally demoted to a third-class maid, which made Hong Luan anxious for a long time.
Hongluan thought for a while, and it must be that Hongxiu was behind her back and whispered bad things in Miss Xiao's ear, to drive a wedge between her and the young lady, Hongluan must explain it clearly to Miss Xiao whenever she had a chance.
"That's good, that's good." The two little maids patted their chests, if it wasn't for Hongluan saying something left and right and returning to the young lady to be a big maid in the future, they wouldn't dare to bully Caiju.
"Okay, let's go out quickly, don't keep the lady waiting for a long time."
The two little maids said, Hong Luan's face changed slightly, but there was only one earring left in her hand, where did the other one go
Hongluan lowered her head and began to search for it. After searching for a long time, she couldn't find her. She became anxious.
Too bad, it must have fallen to Caiju, Hongluan's heart suddenly sank.
