59. Self-defense
While the eldest lady was secretly annoyed, Rong Qiaoyan hurried over with Miaozhi.
Entering the main hall of the Jingsi Institute, Rong Qiaoyan greeted the eldest lady with a weak and cowardly look.
However, Rong Qiaoyan squatted for a long time, and her legs were shaking.
The eldest lady, however, was holding the tea cup, lowering her head and drinking sip after sip without shouting.
Finally, Rong Qiaoyan knelt down with a thud as if she was exhausted.
The clear voice made the people waiting in the room feel their hearts tremble.
Miaozhi, who knelt down next, felt extremely distressed - Miss's knees were probably bruised for several days.
The eldest lady raised her head and looked at Rong Qiaoyan, who was kneeling in the hall, and put down the tea cup as if she had just come to her senses.
"I was so angry that I felt a little dizzy. I drank some tea to calm my nerves, but I didn't notice you. Why did you kneel down?"
The eldest lady asked with a hypocritical smile.
"Yes, my daughter is too weak, so she knelt down." Rong Qiaoyan said timidly like a little rabbit.
After hearing what she said, the eldest lady said nothing.
"I'm really angry today. The white willow in your room caused trouble, did you know?"
After a long time, the eldest lady held the tea cup again, as if she wanted to drink tea to calm her mood, and said lightly.
Although she lowered her head, she looked at Rong Qiaoyan from the corner of her eye.
The eldest lady mentioned being angry twice, and said that Bai Liu in Rong Qiaoyan's room had caused trouble. No matter how stupid Rong Qiaoyan was, she should have understood what it meant.
After hearing what she said, Rong Qiaoyan's face suddenly turned pale, looking panicked and at a loss.
"Go back to mother. Daughter...Daughter, I don't know. I don't know what trouble Bai Liu got into?"
After a long time, Rong Qiaoyan asked tremblingly, as if she had just regained her strength.
The eldest lady looked at her, a familiar concubine, and thought about her habitual temperament, and her suspicions gradually dropped.
This sixth girl has always been weak and cowardly, and very useless.
Maybe what Bai Liu did had nothing to do with her?
Thinking of this, the eldest lady told Bai Liu about climbing on the bed.
She looked at Rong Qiaoyan, whose face turned red and white after listening to her words, and looked angry and angry, and asked lightly: "Bai Liu didn't come back all night, don't you, the master, know?"
Although the suspicion was reduced a bit, there were still some things that didn't make sense, so the eldest lady still asked suspiciously.
"Replying to my mother, Bai Liu is used to being at ease on weekdays. Last night, she was a little... a little sad because her daughter asked Bai Mei to keep her on vacation, so she went to her own room early
Afterwards, everyone in the yard was busy, and my daughter casually pointed her finger at her to pour out the hangover soup. However, my daughter really didn’t know. Not only did she not pour the hangover soup, she also secretly ran to the outer courtyard. "
Rong Qiaoyan first recounted what happened last night in detail, and then defended with a tearful voice.
After listening to Rong Qiaoyan's words, the eldest lady really put down her doubts.
Bai Liu likes to wander around instead of working in the yard, and she has heard about it.
Of course she knew that Liu Yatou's courtyard had a small quota of people.
As for giving holidays to the servants for the holidays, this is also a common kindness of the master.
Ordinary people would give holidays to first- or second-class maids as a favor.
However, since the eldest maid of the Sixth Yatou has no family, it is reasonable for the second-class maid to let Baimei go, and the rough maid to let Mo'er go.
To say that Bai Liu was sad in the house, he was just acting arrogant in the house and refused to come out to serve her, right?
Therefore, when there were few people in the yard and everyone was busy, it was okay for a white willow to sneak away without anyone noticing.
That's all, that's all, what these six girls said corresponds to what Bai Liu said.
It should really be Bai Liu who wanted to climb a high branch and made his own decision.
Besides, it's just a maid climbing on the bed, it's nothing.
So, the eldest lady interrupted Rong Qiaoyan's explanation that last year she let the white willows go home for the festival, so she let the white plums go home this year.
"Bai Liu did something wrong, and now he has been killed with a cane. Remember to take good care of the people in your yard and don't let them do anything embarrassing again." After thinking about it, the eldest lady looked at Rong Qiaoyan seriously. said.
"What?"
This time, Rong Qiaoyan was not pretending, but was really shocked and turned pale.
It is wrong for a maid to climb on the bed, but there have been many maids climbing on the bed in the past and present lives - her aunt is also a maid who climbs on the bed.
Why was Bai Liu killed with a stick?
Xu Shirong Qiaoyan's shocked expression was too obvious, and Mrs. Xu Shi was afraid that her unclear explanation would lead to more speculations.
So, the eldest lady told the father that it was unseemly for his maid to sleep in his daughter's room.
Rong Qiaoyan was confused.
Is this important? Why has no one told her?
Yes, in the past life and this life, the legitimate mother naturally only focused on her children.
Aunt Shuang herself is a maid who climbs into bed, how could she tell herself this?
After marrying into the Fengyang uncle's house, no one told me this anymore.
"Okay, let's end this matter here. After you return to the yard, just say that Bai Liu has returned home. Don't say anything else, so as to save others from making random guesses." The eldest lady said coldly.
"Yes." Rong Qiaoyan responded in a low voice.
"As for your lax discipline of your servants..." The eldest lady pondered about the punishment she wanted to give Rong Qiaoyan.
Although this matter was not instigated by Rong Qiaoyan, Bai Liu was still her maid in the yard.
The eldest lady was holding a breath of anger in her heart, and naturally she needed someone to bear it - even if Bai Liu had already been killed by a stick.
"You just copy two scriptures in the courtyard and copy them twice. There is no need to be grounded. You can go to the women's school when you should. But if there is a banquet or something, there is no need to go."
Finally, the eldest lady frowned and spoke.
Rong Qiaoyan's grounding had just ended, and if she was grounded again, others would definitely ask why.
The old man couldn't hide the scandal of sleeping with the maid in his daughter's room.
The same goes for kneeling in the ancestral hall.
I am not afraid of Rong Qiaoyan kneeling in the ancestral hall, but I am afraid that others will inquire about the news.
This man slept with another woman and asked her to deal with the aftermath.
Thinking of this, the eldest lady became extremely angry.
"Copy that scripture five times. There will be a Dharma assembly at Cixin Temple in ten days, so I will send it to you for worship. Sudong, go get two scriptures."
The eldest lady winked at Sudong.
Su Dongming understood. She quickly found two very thick scriptures and brought them over.
Miaozhi, who was kneeling behind Rong Qiaoyan, looked at the two scriptures and couldn't help but twitch.
This scripture is very thick, and I have to copy it five times, and I have to finish it within ten days, and I don’t have to delay going to a girls’ school or delaying my homework at the girls’ school. I’m afraid the young lady will have to light a lamp and boil oil to copy it.
Thinking of this, Miaozhi started to hate Bailiu again - she did something like climbing on the bed, which actually hurt the young lady.
But when Miaozhi thought about Bailiu being killed with a stick, he became confused again.
Slaves are lowly, and if the master wants to kill them, he can kill them.
