It was noon the next day when Yu Xiang woke up from the chaos again. The room was quiet and no one was waiting. Outside the door came the voice of a big girl talking with a few women. Very cheerful.
Yu Xiang frowned and shouted, "Come here, pour me some water."
The chatter and laughter outside the door stopped for a moment, then continued as if they hadn't heard it.
Yu Xiang's face was gloomy, and she forced her anger to shout again, "Come here, pour me some water!"
"It's coming, it's coming!" A big girl entered the door impatiently.
After the teapot had been left overnight, it was already terribly cold. Yu Xiang repeatedly reminded herself that this was the Yonglehou Mansion, not her and her brother's home, so she suppressed her anger and swallowed the bitter tea one gulp at a time.
"Wipe my face." She put down her teacup and ordered in a cold voice.
The big girl secretly rolled her eyes, and didn't move after going out, ordering two new little girls to come in and serve her. Because Yu Xiang doesn't please his wife and old lady, and his only elder brother doesn't care about her. Although he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, he doesn't have the slightest respect when it comes to due respect. Even Yu Siyu's life is more comfortable than her, after all, the girls and women around her are all left by her aunt, so they can be manipulated.
The two big girls beside Yu Xiang are even more stylish than this young lady, not to mention the late nanny, who always treated her like a bastard.
The two little girls were very respectful, and their hands and feet were also agile. They wiped Yu Xiang's exposed skin clean and refreshed, and then went out to change a pot of hot tea, and brought it to the master.
Only then did Yu Xiang let out a foul breath, and her gloomy face cleared up a little. If her brother was still there, how could anyone dare to neglect her like this? I can't think about it anymore, tears come out again when I think about it.
In her previous life, she was held in the palm of her brother's hand and doted on thousands of times, and she never encountered any setbacks. She has long developed a delicate temper, with shallow tears, and her temperament is also unpredictable, but here, her life is so aggrieved. You have to think twice and be patient about everything, and you will soon become a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle!
The tip of her nose was sore, and Yu Xiang quickly raised her chin to keep her tears from falling. No one feels distressed, who to cry for? It's better to save a little and use it where it should be used.
After sitting there for a while, the older girl led two younger girls in, one serving medicine and the other serving steaming hot porridge. Instructing the two to put the bowl on the table, the eldest girl said in a neutral manner, "Miss, drink the medicine first and then drink the porridge."
"I won't drink. You stay and let the two little girls go out." Yu Xiang leaned on the soft pillow and closed her eyes.
The eldest girl waved the two of them out, stepped forward and continued, "Miss, drink the medicine, it will be useless when it gets cold later."
Only then did Yu Xiang open her eyes, coldness leaked from her deep pupils, and she said word by word, "If you say you don't drink, you don't drink, why are you so annoying!" The bowl of medicine soup and the bowl of hot porridge were all overturned.
The boiling water just out of the oven can scald off a layer of flesh when poured on the skin. The girl immediately dodged and screamed again and again, causing the girls and women outside the house to come in to check.
Yu Xiang's gloomy face all morning was completely relieved, and she wiped her hands with a handkerchief unhurriedly, "Go to the front yard and find my brother, just say that I refuse to take the medicine, and let him think of a way."
As soon as the big girl recovered from the fright, she began to yell, "Master Hou must be in the study at the moment, if you go to disturb me rashly, you will be given a board, and please don't embarrass us servants!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, but saw a new girl who volunteered to raise her hand, "Miss, wait a moment, this servant will invite Lord Hou!"
"This is my good girl." Yu Xiang moved the soft pillow, stared at the resentful big girl, and hummed a tune: "Su San left Hongdong County, and will come to the street Before. I have never said that my heart is miserable, and the gentlemen in the past listen to me... "
Thinking that although Yu Xiang was a useless person in her previous life, she lived proudly under the protection of her brother, laughing and cursing, doing whatever she wanted, never had she ever seen anyone's face! No matter how the plot of the original book develops, since she replaced 'Yu Xiang', she has the final say on how to live.
Seeing that she was furious and laughing suddenly, the big girl made it clear that she was torturing others on purpose, and secretly cursed in her heart: "This broken leg will make her temper even more surly, just do it, so that Lord Hou will get tired of you as soon as possible!"
Because the nanny of 'Yu Xiang' had known that 'Yu Xiang' was not of the blood of the Hou family, she only treated her superficially, but was actually very contemptuous. The two big girls trained by her subordinates followed suit, and their attitudes were not at all respectful and humble. Furthermore, 'Yu Xiang' was young and dull-witted, so she couldn't control these slaves. She was clearly the master, but her life was worse than that of a girl.
Just at that moment, Cuixi, another big girl who went out to play, came back and saw the broken porcelain pieces and soup, medicine, porridge and water in the room. She was about to find someone to clean it up, but her good sister stopped her and said in a low voice, "Let's make the young lady angry." Now, let's kneel down and apologize to Miss." Then he left the room and knelt outside the threshold.
Cuixi had a tacit understanding with her, and immediately knelt down, making a look of shrinking.
Yu Xiang ignored the two of them and hummed a little tune freely. These two were sent by the old lady, and they usually have more face than the master. If it spreads that 'Yu Xiang' is not of the blood of the Hou family, they should be the ones smashing bowls today.
Yu Pinyan really has some ability, at a young age, he is like an iron bucket under the jurisdiction of the Marquis Mansion, so the rumors should be suppressed. I don't know that Yu Siyu made this incident known to everyone in the book. How did the master get a foothold in the circle of nobles and how he became a queen when he came back. He must have gone through a lot of hard and inspirational processes.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiang smiled and shook his head. If you can live comfortably, why bother yourself? She is not inspiring, let alone rebellious, she just brushes up Yu Pinyan's favorability, saves enough money, and changes it back when she finds the right owner, and then buys a Zhuangzi. Youzai's little days. As for getting married, she didn't have the extravagant hope to have her brother protect her in her previous life, and it's even more impossible in this life. Men in ancient times, who would marry a useless man and go back to worship, even for the prestige of the Yongle Hou Mansion, will only end up in an even more miserable situation when the life experience of 'Yu Xiang' is exposed. just forget it.
Yu Xiang thought about it carefully, and when she saw the doorway, she was about to cry, and the two pitiful girls pulled the corners of their lips contemptuously. Instead of cleaning the room, kneeling outside and pretending to be pitiful, this is putting eye drops on himself in front of Yu Pinyan in disguise. Lord Hou, look, the young lady has become self-willed again, beating things at will and punishing the servants!
But they forgot that 'Yu Xiang' gave up her two legs for Yu Pinyan, ruining the rest of her life. Today, she has the right to be willful. From the memory of 'Yu Xiang', I know that although Yu Pinyan's methods are ruthless and his actions are vicious, he also has clear grievances and grievances. As long as you don't go against the right master, he will protect her in this life, not to mention the glory and wealth, but it is possible to live a stable life. The heroine's natal family, no matter what, can it prosper for another hundred years, right
As for the legs, with the backward medical conditions in ancient times, she can't count on them. Anyway, she was used to them in her previous life.
Yu Xiang touched her knee, which was wrapped in a thick bandage, with a calm expression.
The two big girls knelt at the door and listened to the young lady's babbling and humming. They didn't have a word of consolation. They looked very at ease. There was five points of resentment in their hearts, and now they added ten points. , Just wait for Lord Hou to come over.
Yu Xiang hummed and hummed, the feeling of being connected with each other came again. She straightened the corners of her slightly raised lips, hid her relaxed expression, frowned, blinked her eyes, and the wet mist covered her dark pupils, as if she had been greatly wronged.
The two big girls were stunned by her face-changing skills, and they were stunned for a while before they came back to their senses. When they turned around, they saw the young master striding forward, extremely fast.
The two hurriedly kneeled and kowtowed, and were about to appeal, but they saw that the young master had already entered the room without looking sideways. The two knelt on the spot, with embarrassed expressions.
The ten-year-old girl is neither too big nor too small, but her body is very thin and her hair is yellow and dry. It can be seen that she does not receive special care because of her status as a prostitute. The facial features are extremely pale, except for a pair of big and round eyes, and the pupils are also as black as ink, soaked in shallow tears, it is even more clear to the bottom.
This appearance is not pretty, but it just makes people can't help but cherish it.
Yu Pinyan quickened his pace, frowned and asked, "What's wrong with Xiang'er?" When he got closer, he found porridge and broken porcelain all over the floor.
"Brother, my leg hurts!" Yu Xiang stretched out his hands to the boy, and the tears that had been rolling in his eyes poured out in big drops. This person is obviously not her brother, but what happened to that extremely familiar telepathy? Confused, but also relieved.
Yu Pinyan ignored the mess all over the floor, and quickly walked over to hug the poor little girl into his arms. Yu Xiang crippled a pair of legs for him, not to mention smashing a few bowls, even if the house was demolished, she would let her go. Suffering from such catastrophe, who can still laugh and not care? She should be self-willed and angry, and he indulged, accompanied, and coaxed him to get through this most difficult time together.
Thinking of this, Yu Pinyan's arms holding Yu Xiang tightened even more.
"It won't hurt in a few days, Xiang'er, just bear with it." Yu Pinyan had never been so close to his younger sister, and his words were very clumsy. He only wiped her tears while patting her back.
The boy's embrace was warmer than last time, and it was also soaked in a light and elegant incense, which smelled very nice. Yu Xiang's bewildered mood was comforted little by little, but the tears fell more fiercely, her hands tightly wrapped around the other's neck, sobbing, unable to speak in tune. Why are you connected with me even though you are not my brother? Could it be that I really can't go back
Yu Pinyan lowered his head, carefully distinguishing the choked words of his sister, but only heard her keep calling 'brother', and the strong attachment made his heart ache. In this huge Hou Mansion, she can only rely on herself.
The two big girls were still kneeling at the door, their expressions ranged from resentment to embarrassment to panic.
"What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and find a doctor!" Yu Pinyan coaxed her younger sister to stop crying, and then turned to look at the two big girls.
The two hurriedly got up to leave, but they heard the little marquis say indifferently, "The house is so dirty and left unattended, what's the use of you slaves? Why don't you sell them all."
The two were terrified, and immediately knelt down to beg for mercy, and they dared not dare again. Because they didn't have time to apply eye drops to Yu Xiang, they didn't make Yu Pinyan furious, and they just beat him and let him go.
Naturally, Yu Xiang would not use Yu Pinyan as a weapon. When the goodwill is enough, there are some things that need not be said, and Yu Pinyan will take care of them for her, so there is no rush. Furthermore, if the old lady found out, wouldn't she be even more disgusted with her.
