After Lian'er left the room, Bing'er carefully observed the room. It was set up very simply; there was nothing special about it. The only thing was a bench inside the room. The place was small, and the bench made the room even smaller and more crowded.
Bing-Er quickly folded all the clothes on the bed, but Lian'er didn't come back.
Seeing the sky darken, Bing-Er was worried about Lian'er. She carried the clothes on the bed and walked out of the broken house. As soon as she stepped out of the door, she saw Lian'er walking quickly to the yard. Bing'er felt relieved. He asked Lian'er in a seemingly casual manner, "Why did you return so late?"
Lian'er intentionally kept her face away from Bing'er so that she wouldn't see her right cheek and returned, "It's fine. I saw someone I know when I came back from the ladies' place. We chatted for a while and then came back late." After she took the clothes from Bing-Er, she turned around and walked out of the yard.
If she remembered correctly, Lian'er had once said that she was the only one who was willing to treat Lian'er as a friend in this House of Prime Minister. How could Lian'er chat with others? Thinking about that, Bing-Er took a few steps forward and caught up with Lian. She stretched out her hand and grabbed Lian's arm, making Lian's face to her.
Lian'er did not seem to think that Bing'er would pull her, and she was a little stunned for a moment. She quickly turned her head away so that Bing'er could not see her face, and although she was moving very fast, Bing'er could still clearly see Lian's swollen cheeks and the tears in her eyes.
Tears of grievance in her eyes.
When she saw Lian'er's face getting swollen from being hit, Bing'er's anger rose up in her heart. She turned Lian'er's body and asked, "What happened?" How could this be? "Who hurt your face?" Bing-Er asked angrily while looking at Lian'er's face.
Lian'er sniffed hard to keep her tears from flowing out of her eyes, and shook her head at Bing'er, "I'm fine."
"Are you alright?" Bing-Er's anger was getting stronger. Lian'er's face was swollen from the hit, and there were even bloodstains in her eyes. How could she say that she was fine?
Bing'er shot an angry look at Lian'er, and walked away from Lian'er towards the courtyard. As she walked, she said angrily, "Since you don't want to tell me, I will ask someone else. I don't believe that I can't find out who injured you!"
Lian'er quickly grabbed Bing'er's arm and stopped her, "Bing'er, don't!"
Bing-Er shook off Lian'er's hand and said angrily without even looking at her, "Don't stop me!"
She knew that Bing'er was furious. Although she hadn't been with Bing'er for a long time, she could tell that Bing'er was a person who treasured friendship and loved to fight against injustice. She had helped Bing'er beat up those maidservants for her last time. She believed that this time, if Bing'er found the person who hit her, she would definitely not let that person go. However, she couldn't let Bing'er do that.
Lian'er ran up to Bing'er and grabbed her arm, begging her, "Bing'er, please, don't go!"
Bing'er angrily stopped walking and turned around to look at Lian'er, asking, "Why? "Why don't you let me go?"
"We are only small maids, how can we fight with Master?!" Lian'er looked at Bing'er and asked.
Bing-Er understood immediately after hearing Lian'er's words. The one who beat up Lian'er was not her servant girl, but her mistress.
Bing-Er shook off Lian'er's hand again and kept walking forward. No matter if the one who hurt Lian'er was a servant girl or a master, she would take revenge for Lian'er.
"Bing-Er!" Lian'er helplessly looked at Bing-Er's leaving figure, then sighed and said, "It's Third Madam."
Bing-Er suddenly stopped and turned around, "Why?"
Lian'er lowered her head, not daring to look at Bing'er, "I made a mistake. I didn't give the clean clothes to Third Madam first, but gave them to Second Madam first."
"Why? It was clearly placed on top of Second Madam's clothes. Why didn't you give it to Third Madam first? " Bing-Er looked at Lian'er angrily and asked. It was indeed Lian's fault this time. They had washed their clothes according to the order in which the maidservants' armors were sent over, and then sent them back to each master.
Today, she remembered very clearly that the maidservant had placed the eldest wife's clothes and the third wife's clothes, and finally the second wife's clothes, respectively, next to her wooden basin. She had neatly folded the clothes according to the seniors' sequence. No wonder Third Madam was so angry. No matter how angry Third Madam was, she shouldn't have beaten Lian'er into such a state!
"Second Madam's personal maidservant told me that the Second Madam's clothes were dirty, but the Second Madam was in a hurry to see the Prime Minister. Thus, she begged me to bring the Second Madam's clothes over first. For a moment, I was soft-hearted. " Lian'er lowered her head and whispered to Bing'er.
Bing-Er couldn't help but look at Lian'er with a pained look, "Take it as a lesson this time. Don't be like this next time." Since Lian'er made a mistake, how could she find someone else to argue with?
"Lian'er pouted, looking extremely regretful." Who would dare to try again? "Even now, my cheeks are still burning with unbearable pain." At the end of her sentence, she covered her swollen cheeks in a symbolic manner.
Bing-Er glanced at Lian'er blandly and then walked to the yard.
Lian'er saw that Bing'er didn't want to pursue this matter anymore. She secretly let out a sigh of relief and followed Bing'er to the yard. After sending all the clothes in their hands to the master's bedroom, Bing'er and Lian'er walked along the corridor towards their living quarters.
The two of them walked while looking at the beautiful scenery outside the long corridor. Bing-Er stopped walking and turned around to look at the pavilion and the pond.
At this moment, as the sun set in the west, the fiery red sun dyed the horizon's sunset red. In the pond, the lotus flowers, which were full of food, seemed even more prideful when compared to the burning clouds. They looked like arrogant fairies standing in the middle of a green lake.
Bing'er couldn't bear to look away from the beautiful scenery. She held the railing of the long corridor with both hands, admiring the beautiful scenery in the distance and inhaling the fragrance in the air.
"How fragrant!" Bing-Er closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She couldn't help sighing.
Lian'er couldn't help but smile as she looked at Bing'er, "Yes, it's very beautiful here." Lian'er looked at Bing'er and smiled, "Yes, it's very beautiful here." Lian'er looked at Bing'er and couldn't help but smile as she said, "Yes, it's very beautiful here.
"Do you often enjoy the scenery here?" Bing-Er looked at Lian'er with curiosity and envy.
