Chapter 703 Difficult situation
After using all her strength to say this, her lips trembled slightly and tears almost burst out of her eyes.
She quickly stood up, ran a few steps, and entered the back room without looking back.
Fu Shu did not follow up to comfort her.
She was the only maid who followed Zhao Ruyu from the Zhao Mansion to the Prince's Mansion. Granny Shi didn't leave, so she had to stay here to talk to Granny Shi and give her a reward.
She reached into her sleeve pocket and fumbled for a few copper coins. After hesitating for a moment, she put two more coins back. She walked up to the mother-in-law and put the money into her hand. The whole movement was concealed, and she didn't know what to do with it.
She didn't dare let anyone see how much money she gave to her mother-in-law.
There are also two maids from Prince Jingping's Mansion in this room.
It's not that Princess Jingping and the Fourth Young Madam didn't treat them harshly and were willing to assign people to serve Zhao Ruyu. They sent these two maids, and apart from monitoring them, their only task was to ridicule them.
These two maids came here and did nothing, and Zhao Ruyu could not control them at all; but they were very quick to talk, and the words they said were so mean that Zhao Ruyu, the master and the servant, always wanted to tear their mouths apart.
In her previous life, Zhao Ruyu was the Marquis of Pingnan, and she had a lot of tricks to deal with her servants. But here she has no money and no one, so even if she wanted to ask someone to slap these two maids in the mouth, she couldn't.
However, these two people had grown up together with Xiao Sijie, and they were accustomed to flattering Xiao Sijie. Xiao Sijie had a very good impression of them.
The two of them were very good at pretending. When Xiao Sijie came to her yard, they would pretend to be honest, obedient and diligent. Sometimes they would pretend to be aggrieved, as if Zhao Ruxi's master and servant had bullied them. This is what Zhao Ruyu thought.
There is no way to file a complaint.
So now Zhao Ruyu and Fu Shu's life is as frustrating as it is.
"Thank you for coming." Fu Shusheng was afraid that his mother-in-law would yell out when she saw the few coins, so he stuffed the money over and said quickly, "I'll take you out."
After the mother-in-law waited for Fushu's hand to leave, she fumbled twice for the five coins in her palm and was immediately stunned.
Of course she has never seen a reward of five copper coins, and the Suiping Mansion is not an extremely wealthy family. Sometimes they, the servants, do things according to the master's wishes, and the master will give them a few copper coins.
Reward them.
But that was in the mansion, and they were doing things within their own scope. Moreover, they were servants of the family, and they usually had a monthly salary. What she did was not a great achievement, so it was appropriate for her to be given a small reward.
Now she has to go all the way from Suiping Suiping's Mansion to Prince Jingping's Mansion to deliver snacks. The soles of her shoes have to be worn out several times. She also has to go through all kinds of difficulties from the servants of Prince Jingping's Mansion. She is tired both physically and mentally. No matter what, Zhao Ruyu is a master and a servant.
This reward shouldn't be given.
But she was smart enough to be sent out to deliver things. She looked at the two maids who were staring straight at them like lanterns, said nothing, turned around and followed Fu Shu out of the door.
After walking down the steps and out of the courtyard, seeing no one around, Fu Shucai said apologetically to his mother-in-law: "We girls have a very difficult life here. Not only do we not have a monthly salary, but the food we eat is raw and sour, and we have to pay for it."
I was constantly criticized by those two maids."
She held her mother-in-law's hand: "Mother Shi, can you talk to me, the eldest young master, and the second young master when you go back, and ask them to send you to visit the girls from time to time? Now the fifth girl has become Princess Qi, although
Our girl is now a concubine and can no longer be a serious relative with the fifth girl. But as long as we move around more frequently, the people in the Jingping Palace will not embarrass the girl so much for the sake of the fifth girl."
Speaking of this, she couldn't help crying.
After Zhao Ruyu got married, although Zhao Yuanliang and Zhao Jing'an were very angry, they still remembered her and asked the old woman to send her things twice. But no matter how difficult it was, the girl never told Mrs. Shi about her situation.
Fu Shu said is not allowed.
She said that this road was her own choice, and no matter how difficult it was, she had to grit her teeth and go on. If others knew about it, they might laugh at her.
But Fushu couldn't bear it anymore, especially after knowing that the fifth girl was going to marry into the royal family and become Princess Qi.
She now deeply blames herself and regrets that she should have stopped the girl desperately in the first place, or secretly told the young master that she was going to become a concubine in Prince Jingping's palace.
There is only one month left. If the girl had come in one month later, because of the relationship between the fifth girl, she would have been able to marry into a good family. She would never have gone astray. She would have lived a life like this here and been tricked by others.
Cheap grinding.
Mrs. Shi came here three times. Even if Fu Shu didn't say anything, she could see the situation of the master and the servant.
After all, the second wife of the Zhao family is from the same family as Suiping Suifing, and she was a noble before the family was separated. Even if Zhao Ruyu came in and became a concubine, for the sake of being a noble, the people in Prince Jingping's palace should let her in no matter what.
, even if you are not allowed in, you will be polite. Why do you have to stuff a lot of money and say nice things before handing over something?
She nodded and said: "Don't worry, I understand. I will tell the master, the eldest master, and the second master when I get back. But..."
She glanced at Fu Shu sympathetically: "Both Suiping's house and the Zhao family have concubines. You also know what the situation is like for concubines in the house. If there is no important matter, the mother's family is not allowed to come and go often. The fifth girl is married at least
There is still half a year left, and if Prince Jingping doesn’t show respect and doesn’t let me send things over, the master and the eldest young master won’t be able to do anything to his family.”
Fushu had been holding back the tears for a long time and then they started to flow down. He covered his mouth with a handkerchief and cried: "Is there no other way? The girl and I really can't stand it anymore. Can the master and the second young master have the heart to watch?"
Is the girl going to die like this?"
Granny Shi sighed: "Actually, it's not impossible."
Fu Shu raised his head, with tears in his eyes full of hope: "Mom, tell me."
"If the sixth girl writes a letter begging the fifth girl to send someone to deliver something to her, people here will definitely not treat you harshly anymore."
The light in Fu Shu's eyes gradually went out.
For some reason, her girl and the fifth girl have never dealt with each other since they met. There has never been a time when the two of them got along, let alone a sisterly relationship.
It was like this before the family was separated. Now that the family is separated, the girl has become a concubine again. How can the fifth girl, the future Princess Qi, lower her status and associate with the girl again? That is not putting herself on the same level as a concubine.
, are you looking down on yourself?
Furthermore, the girl in her family is stronger by nature, and she doesn't even let the master, eldest master, and second master know about their situation. How could she write a letter to beg the fifth girl and bring shame on herself?
She lowered her eyes, and a tear fell on her front.
