Yingrong was stunned on the spot. After she came to her senses, her face turned ugly and she sneered, "Baihao, now that you rely on the Second Master, you are even more ignorant of the heaven and earth, and you dare to say anything indecent! If you make up stories about the Second Master and the Second Mistress and spread them to Madam's ears, I will tear your mouth to pieces!"
Bai Hao was a little unsure, but he couldn't afford to lose momentum, so he immediately put his hands on his hips and said, "I'm telling the truth. Believe it or not, you know it yourself. I dare to say this even in front of the madam! I didn't want to say it, but I see some people are taking advantage of it. They take advantage of the fact that they have served the master for so many years and are very ambitious. It's really not decent. We have made our courtyard a laughing stock by everyone in the mansion!" After that, Bai Hao turned his head away and didn't look at Yingrong.
Yingrong twisted the handkerchief in her hand, feeling bitter and bitter in her heart. So that's what happened! Ever since the Second Mistress recovered from her illness, the Second Master has become less and less concerned about them. He would run to Yiqing Courtyard whenever he had time, and he didn't even care about them. Yingrong couldn't help but think of what Hongxian had warned her about. If she didn't find a way to stand up for herself, there would be no place for her in this mansion!
After the second master finished his meal, Yingrong went into the house and quietly cleaned up the dishes. She looked back and saw that the second master had taken off his shoes and fell asleep. She stopped what she was doing and wanted to ask the second master how he wanted to arrange her? Is there any place for her in this yard? But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back. Her face was red as fire, and she couldn't ask. She felt like hundreds of cats were scratching her heart, and she felt indescribably uncomfortable.
In the afternoon, while Master Bao was asleep, Yingrong ran to Grandma's yard to find Hongxian, pulled her into the house, closed the door, and asked hurriedly, "Um, are you sure about what you told me yesterday?"
Hong Xian smiled, and seeing Yingrong's anxious look, she deliberately asked slowly, "What's the matter?"
Yingrong stamped her feet anxiously, "You said that Madam wanted to marry me to Sun Zhuzi!"
"That thing?" Hong Xian recalled carefully and shook her head, "I didn't hear my wife mention it again today, and my big breasts didn't mention it either."
Yingrong finally felt relieved, hoping that Hongxian was too far away and she must have heard it wrong.
However, Hong Xian spoke again slowly, "As the master's personal maids, although we have more face than ordinary servants, we are still servants. How can the master discuss it every day like he arranges marriages for young masters and young ladies? We are just waiting for orders after talking casually!"
Yingrong's worry, which had just been put at ease, started to rise again. If it was really decided, the announcement would be in the next two days.
"I'm talking to you. Last time I told you to go and beg the Second Master, did you do it?" Hong Xian asked mysteriously.
Yingrong blushed and shook her head, gritting her teeth and said, "I really can't open my mouth. I have served the Second Master for ten years. If I beg him for this matter, I..." Yingrong shook her head as she spoke, looking extremely embarrassed.
Hong Xian was a little unhappy, "You are such a fool. You can't do this or that. If you don't fight for your own future, who else can you count on? Madam and Second Mistress? Forget it. They won't promote you because you serve Second Mistress wholeheartedly. Madam is planning to marry you off to a servant. You were one of the people who harmed Li Xiang the day before yesterday. Second Mistress is so angry with you, she can only be secretly happy!"
Yingrong felt a little ashamed after being scolded by Hongxian. She quickly took Hongxian's hand and said, "I know you are doing this for my own good. It's my fault that I can't bring myself to say this..."
Seeing Yingrong lower her head, Hongxian patted Yingrong on the shoulder and said earnestly: "I scold you because I am disappointed in you! If you can follow the Second Master, you will be the master, and you will be served in the future. The children you give birth to will either be young masters or young ladies. The Second Master is also a caring person. What a wonderful life! Alas, I envy you when I see you. You don't know how to appreciate your blessings. I don't have much hope. I can only wait until I am old enough to be sent out to marry a servant. I don't know what kind of ugly man I will be married to!"
Yingrong quickly comforted Hongxian, "Don't worry, Grandma is such a good person, she is kind and compassionate, she will definitely find a good manager for you, and you will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life."
Hong Xian was annoyed. Is the grandma a good person? Only someone like Yingrong who is not very smart would think that the grandma is kind. If Yingrong could become a concubine, she would be rich. It's a pity that she and Hongxi don't know what their future will be.
"Let's not talk about me." Hong Xian said, "If you can make a name for yourself, I will be happy for you. When you become the master, you will be able to take care of me in the future, and our deep sisterly love will be worthwhile." Hong Xian said this sincerely.
"That's for sure!" Yingrong patted her chest with emotion.
Master Bao slept until the afternoon. When he woke up, he felt refreshed and the lump on his forehead had mostly disappeared. Looking at himself in the bronze mirror for a long time, Master Bao sighed that Doctor Mo was indeed a skilled doctor and his medicine was very effective.
Yingrong was standing at the door waiting. When she heard the noise in the house, she knew that the Second Master had woken up, so she quickly opened the curtain to go in. Baihao was also about to go in. The two of them were standing there at the door. Yingrong glared at Baihao fiercely and rushed into the house first. Seeing that Second Master Bao had sat up, Yingrong quickly took out her outer robe and put it on Second Master Bao, and knelt on the ground to put on his shoes.
Baihao glanced displeasedly at Yingrong, who was unusually attentive, and took a basin from the house to fetch water for Master Bao.
Yingrong was putting on Master Bao's shoes very slowly. She was torn between herself and her conscience. She couldn't make up her mind whether she should tell Master Bao or not. Once she did, and Master Bao or his wife flatly refused, she would have no way out.
Master Bao looked at Yingrong strangely as she bent down to put on his shoes. "What's going on? It takes so long to put on a pair of shoes?"
Yingrong was startled when she looked up and saw the handsome face of Master Bao. She gritted her teeth and stamped her feet. She made up her mind that if she stuck her head out, she would be cut off. She might have a chance of winning if she fought. She knelt on the ground and cried, "Master Bao, please give Yingrong a chance to live!"
Master Bao was shocked. "What are you doing? Why are you trying to save your life?"
Yingrong thought about how she, a beautiful girl, was going to be married to Sun Zhuzi, a poor servant from a poor family. She couldn't help but burst into tears and shook her head sadly, saying, "Second Master, you don't know that the Madam wants to marry me off to Sun Zhuzi!"
"Is this true?" Master Bao was puzzled. "How come I haven't heard of it? Where did you hear it from? Don't let it be a rumor."
Yingrong was anxious, "Second Master, this is a matter between the women in the inner house. How could the Madam tell a man like you? It must be true! Second Master, I beg you, for the sake of Yingrong following you for ten years, please give Yingrong a chance to live!"
Master Bao hesitated for a moment, and after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't remember which one Sun Zhuzi was. There were too many servants working in the front yard, and he couldn't remember for a moment. If it was really the wife's decision, considering that Yingrong had served her for so many years, the servant she matched with Yingrong wouldn't be too bad.
He was not unaware of Yingrong's feelings for him. Before Mingyu came into the family, the madam wanted to recommend a concubine for him. Bao Erye thought she would recommend Yingrong, but who knew that the madam would recommend Yingshu and Yingqin instead? It was probably because the madam did not like Yingrong, otherwise she would not have left her alone.
"I'll go to the front yard and ask a few stewards to find out what kind of person Sun Zhuzi is." Master Bao said. If it was before, he would have accepted Yingrong as his concubine without hesitation, but now thinking of Mingyu, he hesitated. Even though Mingyu was young, she was his first wife and the one he would spend his whole life with. He didn't want to make the little girl unhappy.
Yingrong heard what Master Bao said, and realized that he had no intention of taking her in as his concubine. She was so desperate and sad that she almost cried to death. She knelt on the ground and sobbed, "Master, don't you really know how Yingrong feels about you?"
At this time Baihao came in with some water. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Yingrong kneeling on the footstool under the bed, crying with tears all over her face. Just as he was about to wink at Erye to ask something, he saw Erye waving at him, asking him to go out. Baihao had to put down the basin and go out, standing at the door to guard the door for Erye.
When Baihao came in and saw this scene, Yingrong was so ashamed that she waited for Baihao to leave and said, "Second Master, Yingrong is begging you only once. Yingrong does not want to marry anyone else. Please have mercy on Yingrong! Go talk to the Madam and Second Mistress and ask them not to marry Yingrong off to anyone else!"
Master Bao's heart was filled with excitement. Seeing the person he had been with day and night for ten years crying miserably in front of him, it was as if the sky had fallen. He felt very sorry. Thinking back on the past ten years, he and Yingrong grew up together, and Yingrong had always served him wholeheartedly. He also wanted Yingrong to have a good home and future.
Seeing that Master Bao's expression had softened, Yingrong immediately cried, "Master, let me serve you for the rest of my life. Apart from you, no one else can catch my eye!" As she said this, Yingrong's face turned red, and she felt that she was shameless. But thinking about Sun Zhuzi and Master Bao, she gritted her teeth and continued, "Master Bao, Yingrong's heart and eyes are filled with you, and she can't tolerate anyone else!"
After all, Master Bao was only a 16-year-old boy. The most outrageous thing he did was to go out and ride horses in the street with a group of playboys and fight in groups. He became quite famous. However, as for his romantic life, Miao was strict in this regard. It didn't matter what he did with the maids and concubines at home, but he couldn't go out to find those good or bad ones. So although Master Bao had three concubines, he was still a young boy who didn't know much about the world in terms of feelings.
Seeing such a beautiful girl kneeling in front of him, crying with tears on her face, and desperately expressing her deep love for him, no matter how determined Mr. Bao was, his mind was shaken and he was deeply moved.
"Get up." Master Bao pulled Yingrong up. It seemed that what Yingrong asked for was just a small matter in his eyes. His wife always doted on him, and it didn't matter if he had more concubines. Mingyu was so well-behaved and sensible, so it was just a matter of a word from him. "I'll go talk to my wife and the second grandmother." (To be continued.
