The eldest master is surrounded by his beautiful concubines, and his beloved children are around his knees, enjoying the happiness of his family. However, the atmosphere in Lujingzhai is low, and a mountain rain is about to come, and the wind fills the building.

As soon as Yulan entered her courtyard, she realized that something was wrong. It was already dark now, and the little maid was carrying an octagonal palace lantern to lead the way. Yulan saw several little ones standing in the corridor, and their faces turned pale with fear.

Yulan's eyes narrowed slightly.

They are all from my own yard, and everyone knows about it. These little ones are only eight or nine years old and have not yet grown their heads. They are most lively and naughty on weekdays. They laugh and play all day long and there is no quiet time.

When Mrs. Wang was in power, she beat and scolded them frequently. When Yu Lan took over the power, she treated her subordinates very leniently. Although she strictly controlled the few little ones, it was only economic sanctions, and there was no corporal punishment from then on. They also

I am not very afraid of rain.

The situation today is really weird.

Yu Lan stopped in the middle of the yard, beckoned to a little Yao'er and asked, "Where is your sister Xiaoyu?"

The little boy probably rarely lied. When he saw the young lady questioning him, he was at a loss for a moment and stumbled: "Sister Xiaoyu, sister Xiaoyu, she, she said she didn't feel well and went back to her room to rest after dinner."

Not feeling well? You were obviously fine when you went out! Besides, Xiaoyu is usually the most stable and loyal person. As long as she is able to get up, even if she is seriously ill, she will insist on serving herself before going to rest.

Yulan looked thoughtful, waved away the little Yao'er, and entered the room through the curtain. Xiaoyue helped her take off the cloak she was wearing. A little girl came in with a basin of warm water. Xiaoyue took it and prepared to help her wash her hands and face.

Change clothes.

Yulan suddenly said: "You don't need to serve here anymore. Go and see Xiaoyu and see what happened." Xiaoyue also felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere, so she called a little girl outside the door to come in to serve the girl, and then turned around

Went to the inverted house where the servants lived.

Yulan had just changed into her casual clothes when she saw Xiaoyue dragging Xiaoyu in and angrily rushing in. Yulan saw a distinct palm print on Xiaoyu's fair face, and her face immediately darkened. She asked in a deep voice

: "What's going on? Who beat you like this!"

Xiaoyue blurted out: "Who else could it be? It's not Mother Wang's old dog! Xiaoyu is useless. She only knows how to swallow her anger. Even after being beaten like this by Mother Wang, she will only hide in the room secretly.

I shed tears and didn’t dare to show it to the girl! If the girl hadn’t asked me to see it, we would all have been kept in the dark!”

Xiaoyu said angrily: "Xiaoyue! Stop talking!"

Yulan was filled with anger, "Xiaoyu, what happened? You were beaten like this by Mother Wang, why didn't you tell me?"

Xiaoyue said everything like a machine gun: "I asked everything clearly just now! The old woman was desperate and forced Xiaoyu to hand over the key to the cage. When Xiaoyu refused, she jumped up and cursed. After the scolding was ignored, she even started to beat her.

People!" He said through gritted teeth.

Xiaoyu lowered her head and whispered: "Her son asked some thugs to capture him, and said that if he doesn't pay back the money within three days, one of his arms will be removed!"

Yu Lan understood everything as soon as he heard this. He slammed the table and said in a sharp voice: "You bastard!"

On weekdays, the little girl is calm and gentle, showing stability and composure. But now her face is as heavy as water, and her eyes seem to want to burst into flames. After all, she has been sitting in the position of sales director for many years, and her anger comes from something.

Xiaoyue and Xiaoyu were both frightened by the fierce and overwhelming force.

Another little girl waiting in the room was so frightened that she held her breath and turned pale.

Xiaoyu hurriedly drove her away, closed the door, and then said softly: "Girl, Mother Wang is the mother in charge of our courtyard, and she should discipline us girls. Besides, she is the wife's wife after all.

The girl has finally established a firm foothold in the house, please don't quarrel with your wife again over such a trivial matter."

Yu Lan looked at this girl who was two years older than herself and felt sad: "Silly girl! Do you think that by swallowing your anger and not even telling me, you can turn a big deal into a trivial matter?"

"girl……"

"You are confused! You don't even think about it. We finally suppressed Mrs. Wang's arrogance. If she is allowed to beat, scold and insult you, but I pretend to be deaf and indifferent, what will she think? What will others think? Mrs.

What would you think? What would the old lady think?"

Xiaoyue and Xiaoyu were stunned when they heard this.

Yulan said: "Madam, the old lady will only think that I am useless and can't even control a servant; Mrs. Wang will think that I am weak and can be bullied, and she will treat you even harder in the future, and even bully me directly.

; The servants will feel that I can't even protect my personal maid, and naturally I can't take care of their interests. No one will help me sincerely in the future. Good people are bullied, and thin horses are ridden! In the big house,

Not all problems can be solved by swallowing one's anger. Sometimes being tough is more effective than being weak..."

Xiaoyu savored her words, and the more she thought about it, the more sense it made. She couldn't help but lower her head and said in shame, "Girl, I was wrong!"

Yulan stepped forward, stretched out a hand, and touched Xiaoyu's cheek lightly. With a look of regret in her eyes, she asked softly: "Does it still hurt?" The two big girls were loyal to her, and their hearts were filled with joy.

They are so fleshy, how could Yulan not feel sorry for them?

Xiaoyu was moved to tears: "I've applied ice to it, and the pain is gone."

Yulan held the hands of the two girls in each hand, and said harmoniously: "You two have been by her side since I was seven or eight years old. You have worked hard and loyally for so many years. Follow her.

I have suffered countless injustices, which I will never forget!"

Xiaoyue's eyes turned red after saying a few words: "Girl, we are your maids, stop saying these words!"

"You must remember from now on that the three of us are one. If you are beaten and bullied, it is equivalent to me being beaten and bullied. As long as I have a dignified and decent day, you will have a dignified and decent day. Understand.

Yet?"

The two girls were extremely moved and nodded together: "I understand!"

Yulan let go of her hand, returned to her seat and sat down. "Xiaoyu, this is the second time you have been beaten for me! The first time was the fifth sister. Her father was protecting her, so I couldn't do anything to her..." She put away

She was so excited that her expression calmed down: "But this time, the person who beat you is just a slave, just a dog that is not very favored by my wife!" Her eyes flashed, and a bright light burst out in her eyes: "You follow me.

I have suffered too many grievances, and I absolutely cannot tolerate this old guy bullying you again and again. I must make the decision for you no matter what today!"

"Xiaoyue!" Yulan shouted loudly.

"Girl!" Xiaoyue was so excited by Yulan's words, "What are your orders?"

"Go to the west wing and call Mama Wang here!"

"Girl!" Xiaoyue said, "You called Mama Wang here and at most you gave her a scolding, but Xiaoyu was beaten. No matter what, we still suffer!"

"Xiaoyue!" Xiaoyu couldn't help but complain: "You can't let the girl beat her up yourself, can you?"

Yulan held her chin with her right hand, thought carefully, and said with a smile: "Xiaoyue reminded me, just scolding her is of no use. This time I must find a way to drive her out of Lujingzhai. With her here

, let’s not even think about settling down. But before that, I still have to call her over to scold her and vent her anger on Xiaoyu. Xiaoyue, go! Call Mama Wang here.”

Xiaoyue agreed loudly and went out, full of energy. Xiaoyu opened her mouth at the side, but didn't say anything after all. After a while, Xiaoyue came back angrily, and reported back: "I

When we went to the west wing, the old man said that he was infected with wind and cold, was weak and bedridden, and was afraid that he would pass on the disease to the girl, so he couldn't come over to see her. The old witch really found a good excuse!"

Yulan suddenly realized that there was really nothing she could do against this shameless old witch. She slowly sat down and smiled to herself: "I was exaggerating. From the beginning to the end, they didn't take me as a young lady seriously at all."

Xiaoyue said: "Then what should we do? Is this the end of it?"

Yulan didn't answer but asked: "Have you put away the jade that grandma gave you Ruyi?"

"Put it away!"

"Tomorrow is another day when Sister Xinghuang comes to get scriptures, right?"

"Yes!" Xiaoyue was confused by the question and didn't know how the two things were related.

"Okay! Then tomorrow we will put on a good show for Sister Xinghuang." Yulan clapped her hands, blinked her eyes and said, "I am holding back my breath today. If I don't scold this old woman, I will really feel bad."

Comfortable. Xiaoyue, I'm going to teach you a trick, do you dare to scold this old guy for me?"

Xiaoyue was the most aggressive, squeezing her neck and said: "What are you afraid of? Just give me your orders, girl!"

Yu Lan smiled and said: "Don't this old thing have a dog? He is tied up in our yard. You can go out later. You don't have to scold anyone, just scold the old dog. Do you understand? She is not talking about herself."

If she is weak and bedridden, then you can scold her so hard that she won't dare to get up and speak!"

Xiaoyue clapped her hands when she heard this, "Girl, your way of pointing fingers and scolding Huai is really amazing!"

Xiaoyu was already a little dumbfounded, "... Damn girl, you don't even try to persuade the girl, but you just want her to fool around with you!" Then she turned to Yulan to persuade her: "Girl, this is just like child's play, but

This is not the style of ladies!"

Yulan said: "Just leave it alone, I will vent my anger on you today."

Xiaoyue was impatient and did what she was told. She immediately came to the door of the west wing and scolded the dog raised by Mrs. Wang: "You old dog, all you do is bark non-stop and bite people randomly all day long."

, do you know how unpopular you are? Why are you so wilted today? Could it be that you are sick? Let me tell you, this is all retribution. You will die from illness!"

Xiaoyue put her posture up, put her hands on her hips, and her high-octave voice resounded throughout Lujingzhai. She must have called her an "old dog" and scolded her for half an hour. The scolding was hearty and extremely enjoyable. The entire Lujingzhai room was full of people.

Everyone who has never been bullied by an "old dog" felt very relieved and wished they could clap their hands and applaud. Yulan asked Xiaoyu to open the door. The two of them listened with great interest, and all their depression was gone.

Mother Wang, who was hiding in the wing and pretending to be sick, was so angry that she wanted to go out several times and tear out Little Hooves' mouth. But she had just said that she was "weak and bedridden", so how could she slap herself in the face?

In recent days, the power of the seventh girl has been increasing day by day. When facing her, the pressure is getting bigger and bigger. Knowing that Xiaoyue has the support of the seventh girl, Mrs. Wang can't help but feel guilty. In the end, she held back and did not refute.

.Just thinking of evil plans, hoping to take revenge on Xiaoyue one day.

That night, the master and servant retreated from the crowd and continued their secret discussion until the second watch. When the two maids left, their expressions were different. Xiaoyue looked excited, but Xiaoyu was faintly worried.

The next morning, Yulan got up and had breakfast. Yiningju sent someone to tell her that the eldest wife would take the eighth girl to the Changxing Marquis Mansion in Ning today, so that the seventh girl would not have to worry about morning and evening.

Yulan had long known that the eldest wife was going back to her parents' home. She was kind to others, had no pretensions, and was generous with her actions. The servants in any courtyard praised her. There was no need to deliberately inquire about these not-so-secret information.

Then naturally someone came to her door. She was no longer the timid, deaf and blind person she was back then.

Yulan winked, Xiaoyue understood, turned around and went out. After a while, she quietly came back. Seeing that Xiaoyu was the only one in the room, she leaned close to Yulan's ear and whispered: "My wife has left the house. I

I saw with my own eyes that the warm sedan was carried out of the second gate."

Yu Lan's spirit was shaken, "It's good. The eldest lady is not in the house, so this drama is easier to sing. This is why she chose to start today. Seeing the two girls looking at her, Yu Lan smiled and said: "It's such a small thing,
To be continued...
