Yuchun was originally holding Qu Moying's musical instrument case, but seeing this situation, she could only temporarily place the case on an empty chair.
The three maids worked together, and they originally thought it should not be a difficult task. However, they did not expect that the force was not evenly distributed among the three of them, causing them to fall all over the place. In addition, everyone's force was applied in different directions at the same time, and it was not much faster than before. Moreover, the three maids were exhausted and sweating profusely.
Qu Moying looked at the maids with cold eyes and curled the corners of her lips silently. If she still couldn't see the problem, then she was really too careless.
There are not only two maids around her here, but the two around her are being tripped one after another!
Another voice was heard coming up the stairs, and then a maid was seen coming up with three cups of tea.
The maid went to the other two young ladies first.
"Why did you change the tea?" one of the ladies asked in surprise. The previous tea had just been served not long ago, and it was far from being cold at this time.
"County Lord Jingyu brought some tea over, saying it's different from our princess's. He asked the ladies to have another cup to taste and see whether our princess's is better or County Lord Jingyu's is better." The maid explained with a smile.
After hearing what she said, the two of them immediately understood, nodded with a smile, and moved aside slightly. There were still a lot of fruits and snacks on the table.
The maid put it down quietly, then turned to Qu Moying, walked in front of Qu Moying, bent her knees slightly politely, and then stepped forward to put down the teacup in her hand.
Qu Moying's eyes fell on the cup of tea. There was not much water in it, only about half a cup at most, or maybe even less than half a cup. There was a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Is this the tea that Liu Jingyu asked to serve
The maid came over with a smile, but when she stepped forward, she kicked something and staggered. It seemed that she couldn't hold the teacup in her hand. Fortunately, the maid reacted quickly. She quickly put down the teacup and pressed it heavily on the table, trying to use the strength in her hands to steady herself.
The teacup in his hand smashed heavily onto a plate of pastries. The pastries flipped over, and the teacup also flipped over. After the tea spilled out, the teacup also rolled down, fell heavily to the ground, and broke into several pieces.
It happened so fast that when everyone turned around, the maid had already fallen to the ground, the teacup broke to the ground, the cakes were scattered all over the floor, and the tea splashed everywhere.
"Miss, are you...are you okay?" Yu Dong reacted the fastest. He threw down his chair and came over to ask anxiously.
"I'm fine!" Qu Moying shook his hand, his eyes fell on the maid who fell to the ground, and examined her carefully.
"Miss, were you splashed?" Yu Dong was still worried.
The water is hot, and even a splash might not be nice.
Qu Moying helped her stand up with the help of her hand, and Yuchun also came over to check. Fortunately, Qu Moying reacted quickly and moved back, avoiding any splashing of tea.
"Why are you so careless?" The two maids breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Qu Moying was fine. Yu Dong immediately looked at the maids in the princess's mansion with a bad look.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The maid who had moved the chair earlier also hurried over and apologized for the maid who fell to the ground.
The maid who had fallen helped this maid to stand up. Her dress was wet, but the rest of her looked fine. After she stood up, she knelt down in front of Qu Moying in panic with a plop. "This little girl,
Sister, it is… it is my fault, please forgive me, I will… I will deal with it right away… I will deal with it cleanly…”
Seeing her shivering, I knew she was scared just now.
"Look at this place, it's become like this, it almost splashed on our young lady." Yudong said unhappily.
“Yes, yes… yes, I will clean it up now.” The maid said pitifully, raising her eyes, and it looked like tears were about to roll down out of fear.
"Miss..." Yu Dong looked at Qu Moying, and when he saw Qu Moying nodded without comment, he snorted coldly, "Don't make any more trouble like a demon girl."
"No, I will be very careful." The maid said repeatedly, and went to the side to find cleaning tools.
"Sisters, can you please help me carry it a little longer? It will be ready soon." The maid who was carrying the chair looked at Yudong and Yuchun pitifully.
"No, our young lady almost got into trouble." Yu Dong said unhappily.
"It's just a little bit. Once we reach the stairs, I can call the sisters downstairs to help." The maid pointed to the chair.
Just now, the three of them worked together and had already moved to the stairs. If it weren't for what happened just now, they should have been able to reach the stairs by now.
It doesn't seem to be that far away.
Yuchun looked at Qu Moying hesitantly, but saw Qu Moying nodded to her. She could only helplessly pull Yudong's hand and signal her to go and help.
Yudong still looked quite reluctant, but after being pulled a few times by Yuchun, he looked at the distance to the stairs again, seemed to have assessed it, and seeing that it was indeed just a little distance, he reluctantly went over to help.
After Yu Dong and Yu Chun left, the maid who was sweeping the floor came over and bowed to Qu Moying: "Miss, please go and talk to those two young ladies for a while. I'll clean up here."
It was indeed a mess here. There were pastries, tea, and broken pieces of teacup on the ground. It was not appropriate for Qu Moying to stand here.
Qu Moying raised his eyes and looked at the two young ladies over there. The commotion just now was quite loud and had already alarmed the two ladies over there, but now the two ladies had already withdrawn their attention, as if they did not notice what had just happened. They were talking to themselves, whispering from time to time, and seemed very familiar with each other.
If you don't go to these two ladies, and it's not convenient to go to the stairs, the best place is the platform outside.
It was only two steps from her position to the platform next to her.
The platform facing her is close to the rockery. Not only can she enjoy the lake view opposite, but she can also enjoy the flowing water on the rockery on one side. It is indeed a good place and also an elegant place to enjoy the scenery. There is gurgling water on the rockery, and from time to time some smoky water splashes out, but if you stand a little further away, you won't really get splashed.
There is only some shallow water on the nearby platform.
There was also some water at the back near Qu Moying, but it was very shallow and almost invisible. There were only some wet marks. I don’t know if the water marks from the rockery above splashed farther. In such an environment, these faint, wet marks were not conspicuous and would not attract attention.
At this time, she seemed to have only this one choice, to go to the platform and wait for the maid to clean up.
As a polite daughter of a noble family, she was not familiar with him and had no
It would be inconvenient to disturb the other two young ladies from aristocratic families who wanted to have a friendly exchange with me.
Qu Moying nodded, turned and walked towards the platform, with one foot already on it. The maid standing behind her, with red eyes, breathed a sigh of relief and even smiled unconsciously on her face.
But the next moment the smile froze on her face. She saw Qu Moying suddenly turn around, and his eyes under the thin veil seemed to fall on her face, with a smile on his face.
She immediately shuddered, lowered her head hastily, and said in a panic, "Miss, I will clean it up right away. You just need to stand there for a while. After I finish cleaning, I will go find the steward in the mansion to confess my crime."
Going to take the blame on your own and being dragged away by someone sent by your master are completely different things.
The maid understood this principle, and Qu Moying also understood it.
It's just that they are standing at different perspectives, one is from the perspective of a servant, the other is from the perspective of a master, so sometimes there are some deviations when looking at things.
"The platform is a bit dirty too. You go up and clean it." Qu Moying said lightly, her eyes were deep and full of cold sarcasm under her veil.
Yu Dong, who was carrying the chair, got angry for some reason. He put the chair down heavily, and without caring about Yu Chun and the maid from the Princess's mansion, he stood unsteadily and swayed, then turned to Qu Moying.
The maid who was carrying the chair was about to call out again, but she saw Yu Dong turning around and glaring at her fiercely, which made her heart tremble. She opened her mouth but dared not make a sound.
Is this the look of a maid? Why is it so fierce
“Miss, I…I will sweep this place and then…I will sweep upstairs…” the maid stuttered.
"Let's clean up the top first!" Qu Moying said indifferently, then retracted his foot. There was a faint smell of oil in the rain, very faint and difficult to detect, but Qu Moying was different from ordinary people.
She has had an eye disease since she was a child and her eyesight is not good, which is why her other senses are more sensitive than those of ordinary people.
Her sense of smell was quite good, and she had been observing carefully just now. She didn't know how those people wanted to deal with her. When the maid asked her to leave temporarily and she had only one place to go, she carefully observed everything on the platform.
Before, it was just a faint trace, very shallow.
When she stepped on it, the suspicion became certainty. Looking up at the lake view outside, she now knew what those people were planning.
Or perhaps it should not be said that it was about who planned and how, but how Liu Jingyu planned.
After all, the cause of this cup of tea was Liu Jingyu's tea. When he was a guest at another mansion, he brought tea with him. Was he really so close to Princess Xiangrong that he didn't need to be polite to her, or did he have other intentions? There seemed to be voices coming from under the stairs. Maybe because the maid's fall just now made a loud noise, it startled the people below, so someone came to check
There is also a chair that is about to block the stairs. Even if someone comes up at this time and finds that he is in trouble, it will be too late to save him. After all, if you want to get over the stairs, you have to deal with the chair first.
The plan was very good. If something really goes wrong, it will be Liu Jingyu's fault!
The corners of her lips pursed slightly, almost forming a thin line, and her voice was as cold as ice: "Yudong, let her go up and clean it first. You can't let me go up when it's so dirty!"
