As soon as she finished saying this, Jiangzhu was stunned, "How can I clean up if I'm not allowed to use the broom?"
Grandma Wang snorted coldly and said arrogantly, "Didn't you break it with your hands? Then just clean it up with your hands!"
This was obviously making things difficult for her. Even though she was a clay figure, Jiang Zhu was aroused by her earthly nature. She waved her hands and said, "Mother Wang can do this job with whomever she likes. I still have to go back and serve her." Miss, I don’t have time to spend time with you!”
"You try to walk away!"
Seeing Jiang Zhu about to leave, Grandma Wang immediately blocked her way and stared at her angrily.
"I have to leave!" Seeing that she was clearly bullying him, Jiang Zhu got angry and walked around Grandma Wang to go out. Unexpectedly, as soon as she took a step, she was pulled over and slapped in the face.
There was a burning pain on the left side of her cheek, which made Jiangzhu a little stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that this old naughty slave would actually attack her!
Grandma Wang looked at her proudly and said with a strange tone, "If you do something wrong here, you have to obey my discipline! If you don't work, you can, but you have to be punished!"
"You!" Jiang Zhu gritted his teeth and glared at her, saying bitterly, "You go too far!" After saying that, she pushed Grandma Wang away and ran out.
Grandma Wang did not stop her, but said from behind, "If you can, go and file a complaint. It is best to instigate your young lady to make a big fuss with the eldest lady! Huh, when I see it, you will be charged with sowing discord. I can’t afford it!”
Jiang Zhu paused, then strode away again.
However, after she arrived at Tingfeng Courtyard, she turned her steps to her room. Grandma Wang is unreasonable, but she knows very well what kind of temper her own lady has. Seeing that the relationship between the young lady and the eldest lady has eased a bit now, if it was because of herself that they were at loggerheads again, then her sin would be huge!
Jiangzhu thought wildly in the room for a while, but in the evening, he had to go to the main room to serve Xie Ruzhuo.
In the afternoon, Xie Ruzhuo had not seen Jiangzhu much. When he saw her coming, he said with a smile, "Jiangzhu, come here and see if this pattern looks good?"
When sorting out the jewelry given by the palace just now, Xie Ruzhuo asked Qianbi and others to pick one each, but Jiangzhu was not there. Xie Ruzhuo remembered that she liked plum blossoms, so she specially kept a pair of plum blossom-style earrings. For this, Qian Bi laughed at her and gave her a partial laugh.
Hearing Xie Ruzhuo's words, Qian Bi brought up the old story again and said with a smile, "Look at our young lady like this, her superiority is obvious."
Nanny Li, the nanny, had been watching them laughing and joking. After hearing this, she couldn't help but joked, "Hey, look at how jealous this tank is."
Jiang Zhu Yiyan walked over, deliberately stood behind Xie Ruzhuo, and said with a smile, "This is a plum blossom, it is indeed exquisite."
Hong Rui said first, "Isn't it just plum blossoms? Just now, the lady said that Jiangzhu likes plum blossoms the most. I will keep this one for her. You can choose the others as you like. It shows that the lady cherishes you very much."
After hearing this, Jiang Zhu's eyes suddenly turned red, and she became more determined to suppress the matter. The young lady is so kind to me, so what does it mean to be aggrieved like this
After Hong Rui finished speaking, Xie Ruzhuo smiled and said, "You little hooves were very attentive when picking things just now, but now you are picking on me again?"
After hearing this, the second maid immediately pretended to be afraid and said, "I don't dare." But there was still a smile that could not be concealed in her words.
Having been with Xie Ruzhuo for a long time, they all know clearly what kind of temper this master has. They know what kind of jokes are laughable and what kind of jokes are passed. With this degree, making appropriate noises can actually make the master happy.
Xie Ruzhuo scolded the two of them, then turned around and said with a smile, "How about it, what I picked suits your liking..."
She stopped talking, stood up suddenly, and brushed away the hanging hair on the left side of Jiang Zhu, and the red palm print appeared in front of her eyes.
Xie Ruzhuo immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Who did this!" No matter in his previous life or in this life, Xie Ruzhuo was very protective of his own people. He treated these servants even better than his brothers and sisters. This is why Xie Ruzhuo later treated Jiang Zhu badly. , Jiangzhu is still gathering her bones. After all, people exchange their hearts for their hearts.
Now seeing the slap marks on Jiang Zhu's face, Xie Ruzhuo immediately became furious. This mark was deliberately covered up by Jiang Zhu, but it still couldn't cover the swollen cheeks and red marks, which shows how ruthless the person who did it was.
The slap was on the maid's face, but it was even more blatantly hitting her Xie Ruzhuo!
Jiangzhu just shook her head and forced a smile and said, "Miss, it's not my fault that I didn't pay attention." Xie Ruzhuo was moved and sad in her heart, and she became more and more determined not to cause trouble for the lady.
Naturally, Grandma Li also saw the traces on her daughter's face. Seeing Jiang Zhu's attitude, she knew that if this person said it, the young lady would probably make trouble. As the saying goes, a good daughter is like a mother. Grandma Li sighed deeply at Jiang Zhu's sensibleness and felt sorry for her, so she said, "Miss, this girl is always frizzy. Don't take it to heart. Why don't you just let her rest." "
Xie Ruzhuo suddenly didn't hear anything and told Qian Bi, "Go and close the door. Don't let anyone in."
Qianbi said "yes" and hurried over to close the door. When she turned around, she saw Jiangzhu looking like he was refusing to say anything. She suddenly became angry and turned around and said, "Do you think that if you don't say anything, you are treating the lady well? If you go out like this, others might think that the lady is abusing the servant! Besides, if that person has the intention to do harm to the lady, you Do you think you can avoid stirring up trouble just by hiding it? If you let others take the lead, it will be your fault!"
It has to be said that Qianbi understands Jiangzhu very well, and every word he speaks can be said to have reached the other person's heart.
Jiangzhu was moved by what she said. After hesitating for a while, he told the matter exactly as it was.
When Xie Ruzhuo heard Grandma Wang's name, he immediately snorted coldly. This old guy would really give himself face! If it had been in the past, she would have directly blamed the eldest lady for this debt, but things are different now!
Seeing that Xie Ruzhuo was silent, Jiangzhu felt a little uneasy for a moment and said cautiously, "Miss, I'm sorry, this slave has caused trouble for you."
Xie Ruzhuo reached out and touched her face, asking softly, "Does it hurt?"
Jiang Zhu's nose felt sore because of her words, and she said softly, "It doesn't hurt, my slave."
"You have been wronged." Xie Ruzhuo withdrew his hand, then took Jiang Zhu's hand, placed the box containing the plum blossom earrings in her palm, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you seek justice." It's just that I'm not coming back now. Just wait patiently for a while, and I will definitely..."
She didn't say the next words, but the expression on her face said it all.
Jiang Zhu was frightened by the harshness on her face, and after a while she said, "Thank you, Miss."
After talking for a while, Xie Ruzhuo asked Jiang Zhu to go back to the room to clean up, and followed him to the main hall for dinner.
Neither Xie Shenyan nor Xie Huainan came back, so only the female relatives were left in the hall.
Seeing Xie Ruzhuo, Mrs. Qiao was the first to smile and said, "The injury is not healed yet. I can just eat in the room and it will be fine. Why did you come out again?"
Xie Ruzhuo sat in Qiao's room for a long time that day. After returning, he remembered the three Tianhuang nobles, so he made an excuse and sent them away, saying that he had a fever. But unexpectedly, in the evening, she actually had a fever.
After a period of chaos and chaos in the mansion, Mrs. Qiao ordered Xie Ruzhuo to be well cared for and not allowed to go out again.
Xie Ruzhuo hugged Xie Huailin and kissed him, saying, "How can you be so squeamish? If I don't go out for a walk, I will get moldy."
Xie Huailin was a little shy when being kissed by Xie Ruzhuo, but after hearing this, he raised his head and said, "Sister is strong and strong, like a little tiger!"
Xie Ruyue, who was on the side, suddenly burst out laughing, "Xiao Yong'an, you really spoke what was in my heart. Your fourth sister is not only a tiger, but also a tigress!"
Xie Ruzhuo rolled his eyes at her and said, "Xie Ruyue, you just pretend to be a lady next to your mother. It's okay for you to laugh at fifty steps and smile at hundred steps."
"Then I'm much better than you." Xie Ruyue snorted. Seeing the servants serving the dishes, she got up and served Qiao's soup and said with a smile, "Mom, be careful of it being hot."
Ms. Qiao thanked Ruyue and looked at the scene of harmony and peace in the room, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Before she got married, her mother said that her stepmother was in trouble. Only after she got married did she realize how difficult it was. Now that they can get along in such a situation, only Qiao herself knows how much bitterness it is.
Xie Ruzhuo seemed to sense what was on her mind and fed Xie Huailin a mouthful of food. He stood up and put Qiao's favorite glutinous rice balls into her bowl, but he said unconvinced, "Are you the only one who can pick up food for mother?" I can do it too."
Mrs. Qiao was immediately amused by Xie Ruzhuo and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, you are all fine." As she said this, she smiled gently at Xie Ruzhuo, but unexpectedly, she happened to see Jiang Zhu's face that was deliberately hidden.
There was a slap mark on the face.
Naturally, Ms. Qiao didn't believe that it was Xie Ruzhuo who beat her. Others didn't know, but she knew. Let's just say that Dongmei made such a big mistake and was kicked out by Xie Ruzhuo without even being beaten. Not to mention Xie Ruzhuo's personal girl, her life was more noble than that of ordinary girls.
However, if it wasn't Xie Ruzhuo's hand, then who did it
After dinner, Mrs. Qiao called Xie Ruzhuo into the room alone to ask about the matter.
Sure enough, Xie Ruzhuo hesitated and then said, "When she went to the kitchen, she accidentally knocked over her mother's bird's nest porridge. When Grandma Wang got angry, she slapped her."
When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she frowned deeply, "This Grandma Wang is too harsh." She deliberately left the selection of Grandma Wang to Grandma Wang, so she may not have tested her thoughts. However, if Grandma Wang can be so cruel to a maid, does that mean that her usual amiability in front of him is just an act
Xie Ruzhuo knew that this incident would definitely plant a thorn in Mrs. Qiao's heart, so she didn't need to say anything. She just said, "Actually, it's not the fault of Grandma Wang. Qingtao made a mistake that day and was demoted to work as a handyman by me." . This girl is petty and must have wanted revenge in her heart, so she took this opportunity to stir up trouble with Grandma Wang. After all, Qingtao is Grandma Wang’s niece. In this way, the closeness is highlighted, and Grandma Wang is It’s understandable that he took a heavy blow at the moment.”
Xie Ruzhuo seemed to be explaining, but his descriptions became darker and darker, which in turn made Qiao's suspicions aggravate. To put it nicely, it was the niece who wanted revenge, but if we think about it more deeply, it may not be that Grandma Wang herself wanted to stand up for her niece, so she set up a trap.
Qiao thought for a while and then turned to another topic, "Then Dongmei, is it inappropriate for you to just let her go like this?"
