The wet nurse laughed coldly, "What scholar? I think he's even worse than a beast! His wife and daughters are all forgotten. "
Saying so, she sighed, "It's just that I pitied my grandmother. She experienced such a thing at such a young age, yet she gave birth to her own daughter. I don't even have any hopes for her."
"He married a new man and he didn't have a son, did he?" I asked the nurse.
The nurse turned her face away and lay down on the bed. I knelt by the bed and sobbed.
I understood in my heart that my mother wanted to kill my mother, so I naturally wouldn't let her go easily. It would be better to let my mother follow my aunt to the manor, as she is a daughter of the Yang family and will not be mistreated by the Yang family no matter where she goes.
Hearing that her mother's breathing had become even, I thought that she had fallen asleep. I tucked her into a corner of the blanket and stood up. When I stood up, I couldn't help but sway a little.
Gritting his teeth, he stood up, picked up the lamp on the table, and walked out.
Pushing open the carved door, a gust of wind blew over, penetrating my thin clothes. My shadow on the ground also became blurry due to the light.
It was difficult to predict the future of the world, and fate was also floating. Just how could he decide for himself?
Just as he walked into the corridor, a lady dressed in green pushed open the door and came out, "Miss, you're back."
"Yes." Lu Ping came over with a cicada cocoon thick satin cloak in her hand and took the lantern from me. Miss, you're finally back. Your hands are cold! "
"While saying these grumbling words, Lu Ping stuffed a silk enamel furnace into my hands and covered me with a cloak." I have followed your instructions and found a peach. Your clothes are also hers. "
I looked deeply at Lu Ping.
She is my senior servant girl, if I am just a lady who treats her well, then it would be fine for her to have other thoughts, but I am in a good situation now, so I cannot be careless at all. She recklessly introduced this girl to me, perhaps she had some intentions.
Seeing that I was staring at her, Lu Ping lowered her head. "Miss, don't worry, this girl was sold into our house with big brother, who was originally a servant of the second house. Three years ago, her brother went to the mansion with the carriage, but unexpectedly, the carriage overtook him and he died, leaving her alone to work in our yard. Being bullied frequently because she is not a child born in a family, and has no one to rely on, she is an honest person. If bullied, she would secretly find a place to cry, I see it's really pitiful, I just want to praise her. "
Lu Ping's situation wasn't too good, but she could understand this little girl. She was indeed kind-hearted. However, I am currently in a difficult situation. I don't know what kind of situation I will be in in in the future.
With a quick thought, he realized that this Spring Peaches was alone in the manor. She had no one to rely on, so it was rather easy to make a decision. Since Lu Ping specifically asked me to stay by her side, I can help her find a way out if I can escape.
I nodded slightly at Lu Ping. "Take her back first. Don't make any noise. I'll find a way to give her a job in the house later on."
A look of joy appeared in Lu Ping's eyes. "I knew that you would be the kindest, Miss."
After hearing what Lu Ping said, I can't help but smile bitterly. If she knew what I was thinking, would she be scared?
Green Pingping followed me into the house. It was pitch black and not a single light was lit. When they entered the inner room, Lu Sheng pulled the tent aside and saw a figure lying on the side. Seeing this, Lu Ping frowned and twitched her mouth.
It was probably because the Spring Peaches had gone overboard.
I don't think so. I patted her hand.
The screen next to me, which I usually use to change my clothes, was pulled up, and there was a little light coming from within.
"Who?" "Is Sister Lu Ping-jie you?"
A thin voice came from behind the screen.
"Why are you there, Miss is back." Lu Ping replied in a low voice.
With a rustling sound, I was already behind the screen. A little girl was kneeling on the floor, shivering, her black hair scattered on the floor. She was wearing my moon-white silk nightgown, and beside her was a basket filled with needle and thread.
I secretly praised her as I helped her up. Her appearance was really good. Her pair of spirited eyes were especially lively. It's just that she was a little thin and weak.
"Why aren't you lying on the bed and sewing here?" I asked her.
"This servant doesn't dare to sleep on Miss's bed. I'm afraid that it might get dirty." She lowered her head and let out a soft moan as Lu Ping walked in. She smiled and said, "You're quite smart. You put Miss's blanket down and piled it into a human shape."
When Spring Peaches heard this, she pursed her lips and smiled. She raised her head to look at me before quickly lowering her head again.
This girl's appearance was not bad, and she had a smart personality. She was also young, so she was indeed suitable to be brought along. However, right now, she was truly a bit weak. However, this wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
"Miss, look, this girl's needlework is quite good. The few pairs of shoes you were wearing were made by her." I looked at Lu Ping's hand. There was a white lotus embroidered on the upper of her shoe. The lotus flower covered up a pair of playful little fish. They moved in the silence, lively and vivid, just like the few pairs of shoes that Lu Yi had brought.
"Do you have an elder sister that asked you to do the work for them?" I asked, looking at her.
She looked up at me, her eyes glistening with tears, and then she dropped to her knees.
"Young mistress, please give this servant a chance. The elder sisters did let me help them with their plans. I don't have any complaints, it's just that this servant is a person, and this servant wishes to live impartially!"
She meant that she was often insulted.
I didn't say it out loud, but it made me understand.
In a few years, perhaps even Lu Ping would not be able to match up to this little girl.
"You can leave. I understand." I said faintly.
She kowtowed, got up and took off her pajamas. She put them on the shelf, revealing the blue one that had been washed until it turned white.
"This servant will take his leave." She spoke softly with a faint smile on her face.
The emperor was not in a hurry!
Seeing that I didn't promise anything, and that Spring Peaches didn't ask for more, Lu Ping became a little anxious. Her face showed that she was pulling my arm and giving me a look.
I smiled at her and waited to see what she would do.
"Elder sister, I will always remember your kindness. Miss has her own arrangements, and this servant knows for sure that it's not wrong. " The little girl said crisply.
"What do I need you to remember? Where are you going to get Miss? Hurry up and beg her." Lu Ping spoke anxiously, seemingly not understanding the meaning behind her words.
Spring Peaches bowed and left, ignoring Lu Ping's obstruction. "What?" Lu Ping was startled for a while before she realized what had happened. "Young mistress, how can there be such an ignorant person who doesn't know what's good for himself!" She complained to me.
I couldn't help but laugh. "But, how could there be someone who doesn't know what's good for them? Placing their proper lady aside and flirting with her, they might as well just treat her like a clay buddha!"
Lu Ping hurriedly looked back and saw me take off my cloak. I was still wearing the clothes of a maid to warm myself by the brazier. My face was flushed red. "Young miss, this servant was in a rush, and …"
"Yeah, he forgot about me in a moment of desperation!" I smiled and teased her, "Alright, quickly come and help me change my clothes!"
This maid's clothes were truly uncomfortable!
I was clearly wearing my own undergarment, but I could still feel the roughness of the clothes on the outside. However, I thought about how these little girls were leading such a life.
However, he was only eight or nine years old!
Next to her, Lu Ping picked up the nightgown that Spring Peaches had taken off and threw it into her arms. It seemed that she was going to throw it away.
"Miss, you still want these clothes?"
Lu Ping looked extremely surprised.
"I have other uses."
After searching for a long time, Lu Ping found a camphor wood box that was carved from a piece of camphor wood and put away her clothes.
I smiled.
This girl is really good, she's completely loyal, it's just that she has a dull temperament!
