"Flowers?" Where are the flowers? " He stretched out his hand, his expression ugly.
Xiao Hong's face showed a hint of panic as she hurriedly corrected her words, "No, I didn't see a suitable flower placed in the young miss' bedroom, so … I didn't pick it."
Yue Yu coldly snorted: "No, I didn't, or I didn't go at all? "You're lying!"
"El-Eldest Miss, I-I really went to pick flowers. It's in the back garden." Xiao Hong stammered, her face flushed red.
Xiao Lan, who was standing behind Xiao Hong, couldn't help but sweat for Xiao Hong. With how meticulous Eldest Miss's thoughts were, how could she not see that Lil 'Red was lying? She secretly gave Lil' Red a meaningful look, hinting for it to stop.
This servant girl actually dared to lie to him. Her eyes narrowed and a cold light shone from within.
"Xiao Hong, your clothes are wrong."
"What, what's wrong, Eldest Miss? What's wrong with this?" Xiao Hong subconsciously touched her clothes. She had just changed this outfit in Zhao Yuanzhi's room.
Only when she moved closer, grabbing hold of Little Red's arm, she coldly said: "The size is wrong."
Xiao Hong panicked as cold sweat dripped down her face. This set of clothes was indeed rather small. Little Red's arm was revealed quite a bit; this was the greatest flaw. Zhao Yuanzhi probably didn't take this into account either.
"Eldest Miss, please spare me. I lied." Seeing that she could no longer hide it, Xiao Hong kneeled down in front of Yu Di and begged for mercy.
Yu Yu gazed at Xiao Hong and asked condescendingly: "Where did you go?"
"Yes, it was Madam who called me into her room." Little Red's entire body was trembling and her face was pale.
"Why did Madame send you?" She pinched Little Red's chin and her beautiful eyes narrowed.
"Today, when I was helping Eldest Miss with the moon's worth of silver, Madam saw it. She had some complaints about Eldest Miss, and at that time, I could not help but argue for Eldest Miss. Madam said that I did not know the rules, so she asked me to come to her room and reflect on it." Red's eyes were twinkling. How could she dare to say the words that Zhao Yuanzhi had threatened her with?
The corner of his mouth curled up into a sneer: "Reflection? "How do I reflect on this?"
In fact, he saw that Xiao Hong was evasive, so he didn't know much about it. Xiao Hong was a spy assigned to him by Zhao Yuanzhi. How could she possibly want to argue with Zhao Yuanzhi over him? Furthermore, the family rules of the Prime Minister's residence have always been strict. Anyone who is a servant has the guts to be rude to their master, chase them out, or even kill them with a heavy cane. How much guts would Xiao Hong have to dare to do that?
"Madam, she taught me a lesson and then let me come back." Little Red's eyelids droop, not daring to look directly at Yu Yu Yu.
His gaze fell on Xiao Hong's back, his expression suddenly changing, as he smacked his hand across her back.
Ah!" Xiao Hong screamed and subconsciously dodged to the back.
"What happened to your injuries?" She only lightly patted the back of Xiao Hong's shoulder. Her eyes turned cold as she grabbed Little Red's arm and lifted her up.
The wound on Xiao Hong's back still throbbed faintly. After pulling it, she could not help but pout.
"Eldest Miss, it was, it was the Madam who got beaten up. It was all because this servant offended the Madam that I was punished by the Madam."
"Let me take a look inside." "It's almost impossible to say that she held Little Red's hand as they entered the bedroom." Bring me the Golden Sore Medicine. "
Xiao Lan quickly took out the Gold Sore Medicine and handed it to Yue Yu. She also noticed that there were two faint bloodstains on the back of Xiao Hong's clothes, causing her heart to tighten.
The wounds on her back that she had ordered Xiao Hong to remove her clothes that day caught her eye. She and Xiao Lan sucked in a breath of cold air at the same time. Zhao Yuanzhi was so ruthless that she would not spare even a small servant girl.
Yu Yu personally helped Xiao Hong with the Gold Sore Medicine. After Xiao Hong was dressed, she said with a grave expression, "Xiao Hong, you should be clear about the Zhao Family's actions. To me, she was even more scheming, persecuting me from top to bottom. [You are just a servant, but you are still a living man. Remember, if a person dares to step on someone else's head, then it must be you who bends your waist first. "
In a quiet courtyard in the capital, Xiao Yun Chen found the words on the slip of paper that was rarely seen. So this was actually from the previous dynasty. No wonder he was a little familiar with it, but he didn't recognize it.
Xiao Yun Chen couldn't help but suspect the identity of this rarely seen biological mother.
That night, Xiao Yun Chen snuck into her room just as he was about to go to bed.
A rosy, intoxicated smell and the fragrance of Lingling wafted in. They sat up abruptly and looked warily at Xiao Yun Chen.
"What are you doing here so late?"
"You barely slept early enough, did you have anything to do these days?" Xiao Yun Chen said as he smiled.
"Even if this young miss has nothing else to do, it's still much better than Young Master Xiao rushing into a woman's room." Yu Yu frowned, a trace of anger flashing across his face. This Xiao Yun Chen really did not know how to be polite. Every time he came, it was in the middle of the night and if Zhao Yuanzhi found out, it would be disastrous.
Xiao Yun Chen asked as he leaned over with a mischievous smile, "Can't you have dessert with that mouth? I helped you find the words on the note. "
"Oh? What exactly are the words on the note? " He was overjoyed.
Xiao Yun Chen's expression was grave. "It's the script from the previous dynasty."
"No wonder I don't know any of them." Was this note related to his own mother?
While the two of them were talking, a commotion broke out outside and someone shouted, "It's a fire!"
Yu Yu and Xiao Yun Chen's expressions turned cold as they hurriedly rushed out of their rooms. They saw a large fire shooting towards the sky and a scorching wave of air assaulted their faces.
The Matchmaking Garden was surrounded by a huge fire!
"Come with me right now." Xiao Yun Chen's expression darkened as he pulled at the fresh hand, intending to rescue her.
Yu Yu gave a faint smile: "No rush, follow me to the backyard, and wait for the show."
Xiao Yun Chen had a face full of suspicion. However, this little girl was always so strange and clever, but he still hid in a corner of the backyard. Fortunately, the fire was not big, and the wind that night had prevented the fire in the backyard from going up, making it suitable for concealment.
As soon as the two of them had hidden themselves away, Yuanzhi and Zhao Yuanzhi rushed over with a group of servants and guards.
"Ah, ah, ah. You died such a pitiful death." Zhao Yuanzhi cried out.
She pretended to wipe her eyes with the silk handkerchief, but there were no tears in her eyes.
Hmph, I'll burn you to death this time. Zhao Yuanzhi was secretly delighted as she pretended to be so.
"Quick, put out the fire, put out the fire!" Yu Zheng's face was a mask of panic as he ordered loudly and anxiously.
Everyone tried their best to save her, but the fire was too fierce. The more they burned, the more Matchmaker's Garden was engulfed in a sea of fire.
