Mrs. 5 today invited Mrs. Gao, who is two blocks away, to play leaf cards. I don't know what happened these days. Others are unlucky. She is very lucky and won a lot of money. Also keen. Although the win was only a small amount of money, Mrs. 5 might not like it, but she was in a good mood when she won, and she could listen to the gossip from other people's mouth by the way. As for whether the center of the gossip was her niece, she didn't care.
"What can you, a second-class maid from the outer courtyard, have anything to tell me?" Mrs. 5 said unhappily.
Sydney immediately said: "Five madams, the slaves were serving in the inner courtyard before! It was only a while ago that they were driven out because they offended the master."
Ren Yaoyu looked at her a little familiar, thought for a while and said, "Ah, I remembered. Didn't you serve the fifth sister before? Sydney? Yes, mother, she used to be the fifth sister's maid."
The fifth wife just looked at Sydney, but what did Ren Yaoqi's maid have to say to her
Ren Yaoyu was somewhat interested: "What do you want to tell my mother? Is it related to Fifth Sister?"
Xue Li shook her head sadly: "Although the slave servant served Fifth Young Lady before, but because the slave servant is the maid given by Fang Yiniang to Fifth Young Miss, she has never been favored by Fifth Young Lady.
When the fifth wife heard that she was from Aunt Fang, she immediately frowned in disgust, and became more and more impatient with her: "What are you doing? Why don't you drive me away!"
However, Sydney refused to leave, and begged: "Fifth madam, this servant really has something important to tell you. This servant knows that you have always been a bodhisattva. This servant only asks you to give this servant a way to live!"
Ren Yaoyu is not interested in playing leaf cards, and some of the young ladies who hate the Gao family always like to mention in front of her that no matter how much snacks they eat, they will not gain weight, thinking that she doesn't understand that they are joking that she grows fat when she drinks water. . So she is more interested in Sydney's words.
"Mother, it's still early. What's the harm in listening to her? Maybe she really has something important to do."
The fifth wife thought that it was right, so she let the old woman who was instructed to drive people back down, and invited her to face her: "What do you want to say to me?"
Sydney looked around and said in a low voice, "It's a big deal, please ask Mrs. 5 to step back!"
Lin Shi was a little suspicious, but she wasn't afraid that a little maid would do something wrong in front of her, so she let the little maids and the old woman retreat, leaving only the two big maids who were close to her.
Only then did Sydney say, "Mrs. Fifth, Miss Ninth, do you still remember what happened to Aunt Kang?"
As soon as this remark came out, both the fifth wife and Ren Yaoyu changed their faces. Ren Yaoyu would never forget the appearance of Aunt Kang lying on the ground covered in blood at that time, and the fifth wife could not hear this woman who tried to take away her husband.
Both mother and daughter thought that Sydney was trying to find fault, and was about to get angry, but Sydney seized the opportunity and said, "The fifth wife, Miss Jiu, calm down, this servant just wants to tell you that Miss Jiu was framed! It's not Miss Jiu's fault!"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Shi and Ren Yaoyu were stunned.
Lin Shi reacted first and said sharply, "What do you mean? Who framed my Yu'er?"
"Shh—" Xue Li put her hand on her lips and looked around again, "Mrs. Fifth, don't make a sound, the slave still wants to live."
Lin barely stopped shouting, but his eyes were fixed on Sydney.
Sydney said: "Mrs. Fifth, listen to me, someone saw that you were not around Miss Ninth, and secretly gave Miss Fifth a medicine. This medicine doesn't do much damage to a person's body, but it makes people easily excited. , easily irritable and irritable. Miss Jiu has been given medicine for several days, so she has several disputes with Aunt Kang, and even missed her and let her drop the child. Miss Jiu, think about it carefully, then Have you been unable to control your temper for a while? Obviously sometimes you don’t want to get angry. Also, your medicine has not been taken for a while, is it a little different than usual?”
Lin Shi immediately looked at Ren Yaoyu.
Ren Yaoyu thought for a while: "It seems like this! When I pushed her that time, I... I didn't know what I was doing. And for a while, the medicine was more bitter than the past few times. I thought it was my mother who explained to the kitchen and A new prescription was given to me. I mentioned it once, and the medicine I took was no longer bitter, so I didn't care. "
Lin Shi was taken aback: "What kind of recipe! It's been almost a year since I took this recipe!" When she looked at Sydney, she became angry again, "Who is harming our mother and daughter? Who is it?"
Ren Yaoyu also hated when she remembered the hardships she had suffered in those days: "Tell me now! Who is it?"
However, Sydney was silent for a moment before saying: "Mrs. Fifth, Miss Ninth, in fact, the servants came to you today because they were forced to save themselves. If the servants told you the mastermind behind this matter, can you guarantee that the servants will not They will be kicked out of the Ren family, and... the slaves are not doing well right now, I need them, I need some money..."
Ren Yaoyu said impatiently: "You can rest assured and say it, I see who dares to drive you away! There is also money!"
Sydney looked at Lin.
Lin nodded: "Just say it! I'll take care of you if I have anything! Even if my words don't work, there are still our five masters! He can't watch his daughter be framed like this!"
Only then did Sydney breathe a sigh of relief: "If there are Fifth Wife and Ninth Miss, the slaves will be relieved. The person who harmed you and Ninth Miss... was Aunt Fang."
Ren Yaoyu screamed: "It's her? Why did she..." Ren Yaoyu wanted to ask Aunt Fang why she did this, but she immediately thought of the thing she had designed for Ren Yaoying to fall into the pit.
Lin Shi also remembered, according to Aunt Fang's temperament, knowing that their mother and daughter harmed Ren Yaoying behind their backs, it is indeed impossible to let it go.
Sure enough, Sydney said, "Auntie Fang remembers that you hurt Miss Jiu at the beginning. Miss Jiu was so frightened at the time that she locked herself up for half a year and didn't dare to go out."
Lin Shi had already believed it, but she still said, "I can't listen to you if you have any evidence."
Sydney took out a paper bag from her sleeve and handed it to Lin.
Lin took it over and opened it, only to see some dried medicinal residues in the paper bag.
"The slave used to belong to Aunt Fang, and was sent by Aunt Fang to monitor Fifth Young Miss. The slave also accidentally broke the sister-in-law when she was looking for Mrs. Niu and sneakily added something to a medicine jar, so she did I became suspicious. Later, when I saw that the pot of medicine was boiled, it was sent to Miss Jiu. When Niu's sister-in-law went to dispose of the medicinal residues, the servants secretly picked up some of the medicines. Knowing that the medicines added are harmful, taking it for a short period of time can make people angry, and taking it for a long time can make people lose their minds. The slave was startled, and wanted to go back and secretly remind Miss Ninth and Mrs. 5 about you, but that At that time, Aunt Kang had already had a miscarriage, and Sister-in-law Niu didn't use Miss Jiu's medicine any more."
"Since you are from Concubine Fang, why did you end up in the outer courtyard?"
Sydney was a little unwilling to hear the words and said: "The slave and another maid, Qingmei, were given to the fifth miss by Mrs. Fang when the third wife was away. Mrs. Fang asked us to report the fifth miss's every move on weekdays to her. Before the fifth miss. The relationship with Aunt Fang was fine, so it was all right, but after the third wife came back, the fifth lady began to see the slave maid and Qingmei disliked by Mammy Zhou and Mammy Xu. Qingmei was sent out by Mama Xu first. Yes, after she went out and had a bad time, she went to Aunt Fang to ask her to help her out of her old love, but Aunt Fang was afraid that she instructed Qingmei to spy on Fifth Young Lady to be known, so she tried to sell Qingmei. At that time, the slave girl thought that sooner or later it would be the slave girl's turn, but it didn't take long for the slave girl to be kicked out of the Ziwei Courtyard. Although the slave girl was a servant girl, she always served in front of the young lady, and now she is in the outer courtyard. The maids always arrange rough and heavy work for the slaves, look at the hands of the slaves."
Sydney stretched out her hand to Lin's to see, only to see that the original pair of slender hands with even flesh and bones were rough enough to scratch the silk, which was really terrible.
Seeing the expressions in the eyes of Lin Shi and Ren Yaoyu, Xue Li felt that her cruelty was worth it, and she continued: "That's all, it's just suffering, and the slaves will endure it. But the maids in the outer courtyard know that the slaves After being kicked out of the inner courtyard by the master, everyone laughed at the slaves, and tried every means to steal money from the slaves! The slaves heard that another group of slaves were going to be released from the outer courtyard, thinking about the fate of Qingmei before... The slaves were really photographed and kicked out. Go out! The slaves only serve people, and they can't do any other work. After going out, I don't know if there is a way to survive." Xue Li started to cry as she spoke.
Lin interrupted her and said, "You mentioned Sister Niu just now? Is she from Aunt Fang?"
Sydney nodded and shook her head again: "I don't know if Mrs. Niu belongs to Aunt Fang, but her sister-in-law's mother-in-law, Aunt Gui, is very friendly with Aunt Fang, and Aunt Gui has done a lot of things for Aunt Fang. The slaves are also very friendly. It is because of this relationship that I know the person of Sister Niu."
Ren Yaoying was surprised: "Mother Gui? The steward next to your grandmother, Mama Gui?"
Sydney nodded affirmatively: "Slave and Qingmei have seen Gui Momo and Kumquat beside Aunt Fang secretly meet with everyone behind their backs several times. The slave has heard Kumquat mention Gui Momo."
Sydney's words were mixed, but Lin Shi had already believed them all.
She shouted at the women in the distance with anger, "Go and catch my sister-in-law Niu!" Then she instructed Ren Yaoyu, "Go and have your father called back, this time the old lady won't give it to us. Mother and daughter have an explanation, no one should think about it!"
