Master Bao looked at the little girl walking away angrily, and he was furious. This little girl was really annoying. He was doing this for her own good, but she didn't appreciate it. What a bad-tempered girl! He was really unlucky today. The little girl hit him with a broom for nothing.
Baihao watched Master Bao staring at the entrance of Yiqing Courtyard with a distorted face, wondering if Master Bao had been hit silly by Second Mistress's broom. Seeing Luo Lingxiu standing by with eager eyes, he quickly stepped forward and gently pushed Master Bao twice, whispering, "Master Bao, Master Bao! Mistress is asking you a question!"
Master Bao finally came to his senses. In order to cover up his temptation, he pretended to cough twice and patted the dusty marks left by the broom on his arms and body. Seeing that Luo Lingxiu was standing too close to him, Master Bao quickly took two steps back to increase the distance between them.
"I'm fine. Mingyu is small, how much strength can she have? Besides, she didn't really hit me, she just pretended. Mingyu is ignorant, so don't take it to heart, sister-in-law." Master Bao smiled awkwardly.
When Luo Lingxiu heard Master Bao making excuses for Mingyu, she immediately shouted anxiously, "How can it be okay! How can it be okay if the broom hits someone? I don't think it will work if we don't discipline her. We have to let my aunt know about this and discipline her! She actually dared to hit you?" She was worried that she would not have the chance to teach Mingyu a lesson, so how could she let her go
"Sister-in-law!" Master Bao raised his voice, unable to conceal his anger, "Are you done yet?"
Luo Lingxiu was shocked. She had never seen Master Bao lose his temper like this. Master Bao was always kind and playful to her and had never spoken to her in such a harsh tone.
Master Bao's handsome eyebrows stood up, twisted into a "川" shape at the center of his brows, his eyes widened with anger, his lips pressed into a straight line, and he just stared at Luo Lingxiu. He had never hated someone as much as he did now.
Just by looking at the look in Mr. Bao's eyes, Luo Lingxiu knew that Mr. Bao hated her. Her eyes immediately turned red and tears welled up in her sockets. She was so sad that she couldn't speak. After a while, she finally suppressed the bitterness in her throat.
Bai Hao immediately lowered his head and walked to the side, carefully watching the people coming and going. Fortunately, Yiqing Courtyard was originally deserted, and there were not many people passing by at this time. Luo Lingxiu's two maids were standing far away, so they could not see clearly what was happening here.
"You...you are mean to me because of that girl?" After a long while, Luo Lingxiu finally managed to say something through gritted teeth. As soon as she finished speaking, two tears slid down her cheeks and fell to the ground. "You...even you treat me like this, what's the point of me living? I might as well die."
Master Bao could not hide his anger. Today, when he came to Yiqing Courtyard, everything was fine. He and Ming Yulian got along very well. Seeing that the little girl was in a good mood, he was also happy. But Luo Lingxiu came and made trouble, causing Mingyu and him to quarrel to this extent. He was originally very angry with Luo Lingxiu, but when he saw the tears falling from Luo Lingxiu's eyes, Master Bao's anger was completely extinguished by these two tears.
"Sister-in-law, it was my fault just now, don't take it to heart. Don't mention those dead and alive things in the future, it's unlucky." Master Bao whispered. He was now afraid of these women. Every one of them said they were loyal to him, but they would cry, make a fuss, or even hang themselves at any time. It would be fine if Yingrong hanged herself, she was just a maid after all. If sister-in-law hanged herself for him again, Master Bao thought irritably, he might as well hang himself first, so as not to live to see the Anxi Marquis's Mansion become a laughing stock.
"That's enough for today. You should go back soon. If people see the two of us standing here, it will be bad for both my brother and your reputation." Master Bao continued.
"What's the use of my reputation?" Luo Lingxiu snorted coldly, like a grudge woman, "I have long been a laughing stock in the Anxi Marquis's mansion! All the men in your Sima family are heartless and disloyal!"
Master Bao took a deep breath, without even looking at Luo Lingxiu, he turned around and left. Bai Hao hurriedly lowered his head and followed him.
Luo Lingxiu looked at Master Bao's back without turning back, her face full of resentment and hatred, her eyes glaring, her muscles twitching slightly, her fingernails digging into her flesh. However, when she turned back, her usual smile returned to her face, and she walked towards Hong Xihongxian with steady and slow steps.
Hongxi was a simple-minded person. When she saw her master coming, she quickly ran over to try to please him, and slowly walked over holding her master's hand. Hongxian was smart. When she saw the smile that seemed frozen on her master's face and the cruelty in her master's eyes, she quickly lowered her head and followed Luo Lingxiu.
Luo Lingxiu smiled nonchalantly and said, "Hongxi, among all these maids, you are the most considerate."
Hong Xi's face was filled with pain, as if she was about to cry. She forced a smile and said in a trembling voice, "It is what I should do."
Hong Xian listened in confusion, looked up, and was startled, secretly glad that she didn't rush forward first. Luo Lingxiu had a gentle smile on her face, but she pinched Hongxi's arm ruthlessly. Seeing that Hongxi was about to cry, you could tell how ruthless she was. The master must be unhappy with the Second Master and the Second Mistress, and turned around to vent her anger on the maids. She glanced at Hongxi who looked at her for "help" and lowered her head silently. Luo Lingxiu would not stop until she had vented her anger. Hong Xian couldn't help but think of that night, when the Second Mistress put a machete on her neck just to save her maid. If she and Hongxi were in danger one day, would her master come to save her
Hong Xian laughed at herself when she thought of this. In Luo Lingxiu's eyes, they were nothing more than two cheap lives. If they were to be considered noble, they were only slightly more noble than the three maids who were beaten to death in the kitchen, that's all.
At the gate of Yiqing Courtyard, Mingyu threw away the broom and wooden frame and went back to her room angrily. Lixiang hurriedly chased after her. On one side was the angry second sister-in-law, and on the other side was the embarrassed second brother. Sima Lian looked left and right, and couldn't recover from the shock for a long time. The second sister-in-law, who was always well-behaved and a little cowardly, actually dared to hit the strong second brother with a broom? This was too subversive to her three views.
Sima Lian didn't come to her senses until she heard Lixiang shouting in the house, "Second Madam, calm down." She looked at Master Bao awkwardly and went into the house.
Mingyu frowned and said nothing. Without saying a word, she took out the brocade box that Master Bao had sent her a few days ago and threw it all into the yard like garbage. Lixiang stood by and watched, not daring to persuade her.
Finally, Mingyu saw two fat rabbits in the yard. She was furious. The more she looked at the rabbits' faces, the more they looked like that scoundrel Bao Erye's face. She wanted to slap the two rabbits one by one, beat their faces into pig heads, and then throw them far away, out of sight, out of mind.
"Second sister-in-law, what are you doing? Calm down." Sima Lian advised fearfully as she watched things being thrown out one after another.
After a long time, Mingyu said calmly: "I'm not angry. It's not worth getting angry with someone like him."
Sima Lian couldn't tell whether Mingyu was talking about "he" or "she", or whether it was both. After thinking for a long time, she felt that Mingyu should be talking about her second brother, and hurriedly advised: "Second brother also has good intentions, don't be angry with him, he is afraid that the eldest sister-in-law will bully you in the future."
This time Mingyu just laughed sarcastically and didn't even respond. If Master Bao really had good intentions for her, he shouldn't have spoiled Luo Lingxiu. Luo Lingxiu was so shameless to come and ask for things, and she was pushing him too hard again and again, wasn't she just relying on his "kindness" and "reluctance"
Sima Lian had no choice but to say goodbye when she saw Mingyu was really angry this time. Lixiang apologized and sent her out of Yiqing Courtyard.
When they returned to Aunt Yu's place, Sima Lian quickly told the whole story of the day with exaggerated details. Aunt Yu's eyes narrowed immediately and she asked, "Mrs. Big *, you even lost your dignity in order to fight for Second Master's wooden frame?"
Sima Lian nodded in astonishment. Her aunt and she had completely different focuses. Sima Lian said disdainfully, "What a shallow-minded person! I feel ashamed just by looking at this. She always acts like a noble lady from the capital. She always talks about how good our capital is. She feels wronged to marry to Tianshui. People still think she is so noble. Even a princess may not be as arrogant as her.
Look at them, they are fighting over a rosewood ornament so shamelessly! Even if I need an ornament, I can’t bring myself to ask for it. Besides, the ornament was given by my second brother to my second sister-in-law, how could she accept it? She has no manners at all! Let’s not talk about this, aunt, you don’t know, my second sister-in-law was so fierce today, she took a broom and beat my second brother out of the yard! Oh, I thought my second sister-in-law was a person with no temper, but who knew that she would be so scary when she got angry! I was so shocked that it took me a long time to react. You said that she was bullied in the past, why didn’t I see her being so fierce, I really underestimated her…”
Before Sima Lian finished speaking, Aunt Yu's slender jade finger touched Sima Lian's forehead and said with a smile: "You silly child, even clay figures have some earthiness, let alone people, even rabbits will bite when they are angry! You all think that Second Madam has a good temper, but I don't think she has a good temper. She is much smarter than you. You don't understand this, but she sees it clearly. If she gains power in the mansion in the future, there will be a time to settle accounts, and Big Madam will definitely not have a good ending."
"Can she gain power?" Sima Lian curled her lips. "How is that possible? Madam will never let the second sister-in-law be the housekeeper! I would like the second sister-in-law to gain power, so that the eldest sister-in-law can't bully us."
Aunt Yu smiled and shook her head, "That's true. Madam only trusts the eldest grandma, and the second grandma can only wait until the family is divided and go out to live alone. But I didn't expect that the eldest grandma would have such thoughts..."
Sima Lian looked at Aunt Yu in confusion. Aunt Yu's beautiful face was filled with joy, as if she had discovered a huge secret. Her eyes were full of pride and expectation. (To be continued.
