But you came to the servant's room time and time again. In the years that she had come to the mansion, she had never seen the Miss enter the servant's room. But you only came a few days ago, the Miss had already come a few times.
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel choked with emotions. She wasn't being selfish, but really had a way. Could she watch helplessly as her mother was sold for a brothel?
If the young mistress were to be married, would he also lose his job? What would he do then? Would he suffer even more? Many times, his father would want to strangle his younger brother to death. If it wasn't for him risking his life for it. He was afraid that his brother would not be alive today. If he did not have a job, then so would his brother.
She really felt like her beastly father. Would he sell her and her mother into a brothel? If it were anyone else, they would not think this way. However, she knew very well what kind of person her father was. He was a gambler, a gambler who loved gambling and entered and left the brothel. There was also a whore in the kiln, and then the bitch left him because she thought her father had no money. He came back to be angry for a while, then gave his mother a good beating. and take my brother out again.
Ever since she was old enough to understand things, her father had often hit his mother.
Every time he was beaten up. My mother was crying behind her. She didn't want to go back to that house, didn't want to see her father, or she really wanted to — to stab him to death. All he brought them was pain, only pain.
Xuanyuan Yu opened her eyes. She was thirsty, dry, and tired. His lips tried to open a few times, but they could not. He didn't have any strength left in his body.
He struggled to get up, but could not. Turning around, he saw a woman in a grass dress holding her head, looking to be in extreme pain.
He wanted to call her over. Unfortunately, he couldn't move at all.
He could only shout hoarsely, "Water, water!" However, he couldn't even hear the sound himself.
He took a deep breath and patted the bed with all his strength. As expected, it made a sound.
The woman wiped away her tears and smiled at her. "You're awake!"
Seeing that it was Niu Mei, Xuanyuan Yu suddenly turned her head and gave a cold snort.
Niu Mei felt bad and said, "You haven't had any water for a long time. Are you thirsty? I'll get you some water. "
Xuanyuan Yu still turned her head around. She never would have thought that she would actually harm her. If she wasn't trusted by her, perhaps she would have already seen that something was off. Even she herself wouldn't have thought that she would help her. Perhaps it was because her name was too similar to Liu Mei, so it was good. Perhaps it was because her name was too similar to Liu Mei, so it was good. He had been foolish once before. Now that he had woken up, he couldn't help but feel scared. He still couldn't do such a good thing. What if he let them get kicked out this time? He had entered the eighteenth level of hell. He was truly dumbfounded. Thinking of this, he could not help but smile bitterly.
Niu Mei brought the water over. Seeing the bitter smile on Xuanyuan Yu's face, she also felt uncomfortable in her heart.
He said to her gently, "Get up and drink some water!"
Xuanyuan Yu looked at her expression and became even angrier. What do you mean? Do you think I'm feeling embarrassed by carrying the blame for her? He just stared at her.
Niu Mei was not feeling well either. She looked at Ye Ci with an uncomfortable expression, but she was more worried about her body. She hadn't eaten or drank for a few days.
Think of the past to help her up.
Xuanyuan Yu didn't even look at him as she splashed the water down.
"Bang." A loud sound was heard. Water splashed everywhere. The quilt was knocked over.
Niu Mei stood up immediately. Tears flowed uncontrollably out of her eyes. "I know you hate me now. You will never forgive me again, but I have my reasons." As he spoke, he ran out.
Xuanyuan Yu also took a deep breath. Not because her person was very good, but because her name was very similar to Liu Mei. In the end, Liu Mei died to save him, so she would later take revenge for Liu Mei and all the other people in the house.
And then he blamed himself. Did he get in too much trouble this time? If it wasn't good, then his life would be lost. If it was really worth it for Liu Mei, then it wouldn't be worth it if it was for the person who harmed him. What he had done this time was truly lacking in consideration.
After thinking for a long time, his lips were still dry. Now that everyone was working, there was no one in the house. He could only rely on himself.
His body was very weak. Just as he fell to the ground, his legs started shaking. It seems that the convulsions these few days have been too severe.
He nearly fell to the ground.
When Ziggy, who was at the door, saw her, he jumped in fright and ran over to help her up to the table. Xuanyuan Yu wanted to pour some water, but when she picked up the teapot, she was shaking.
It seems like he has been really sick these past few days.
"I just saw Big Sister Niu Mei running out of the house crying," said Ying Jia, as she took the teapot and poured her a glass of water.
Xuanyuan Yu was stunned for a moment before she faintly smiled. She had never been a good person. This time, she had mysteriously risen to the top. Just this once was enough. Just this once was enough. If she came here twice more, she really wouldn't need to live anymore. She could have stayed this time. He had to stay in the mansion, or else if he went out, he would die.
He then smiled at her, "It's fine, she might be unhappy about what happened at home."
"You know about Big Sister Niu's family matter," she said with a puzzled expression.
Xuanyuan Yu did not nod her head, nor did she shake it. "I'm not too sure either, what's wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing. It's just that I've been here for two or three years, but I've never heard of Sister Niu's family matters from anyone, and no one knows either. However, you've only been here for a few days, yet she's actually willing to tell you."
Xuanyuan Yu faintly smiled, but she did not agree, nor did she refute. However, he couldn't help but feel sarcastic. He was sincere toward him and stabbed him in the back on the one hand. That was the true meaning of his words. And then, he couldn't help but sneer. That's right, this is true sincerity. Truly true heart. Those good things are just to deceive people. I let you let your guard down so that when they hurt you, it would be easier to deal with them.
Fortunately, she silently watched Xuanyuan Yu drink her tea. However, the expression on his face kept changing, especially which pair of eyes. It was shockingly cold. Then he lowered his head, not looking at her. However, his body couldn't help but feel awkward. Why did it feel like he was unable to sit by her side? He didn't even feel it in front of his wife.
Xuanyuan Yu cast a glance at Lai Jia and couldn't help but put away the expression on her face. She blamed herself for being too careless. She then said with a gentle smile, "Big sister just said that she was in front of Miss for two to three years."
Lucky for her, when she saw Xuanyuan Yu's face full of smiles, her eyes were also filled with a warm smile. Immediately after, she relaxed, blaming herself for being too sensitive. Was she still that ugly, little Jia Cai?
Then he said, "Yes. My mother used to serve Aunt Ping. When I grew up, my mother said that Aunt Ping's temper was very good, so she let me into the house to serve her. At first, I didn't want to, but my mother said so. Ordinary mothers have a good temper. The daughter he had taught could not be found. I have to come. I refused to give up. My mother had no other choice but to bring me in. If you want to do it, then sit down. If you really don't want to do it, then go back. I thought about it then, it's pretty good. If Miss bullies me or something, I'll go to my mother and tell her. There's nothing she can do about it … "
Xuanyuan Yu faintly smiled, "What happened next?"
"Later, the two misses and the aunt were better than I thought, so they stayed."
When Xuanyuan Yu heard this, an indescribable feeling arose in her heart. She picked up a cup of tea and slowly swallowed it. Suddenly, he felt that his fate was not as good as a young maid's. She could choose what she wanted, what she didn't want to do, and what she wanted to do. She could choose what she wanted, and what she didn't want to do.
Lai Jia looked at her drinking water and thought that she was worried. She then added, "Don't worry. You can stay now. When you first came here, we didn't think highly of you. It was because those who worked beside the young miss did not last more than a few days. The young miss had a very bad temper. She scolded the maidservants loudly every now and then. Many of the maidservants had suffered in her hands before. But Miss is special to you, think about it, I heard my aunt say that. Miss went to plead for you. However, the madame did not agree. The young miss had never come to a room before. But I've come for you many times. So, you can be at ease. After seeing that there's no one around, he said to Xuanyuan Yu in a low voice, "I heard that the Miss wanted you to marry her. Now that there's a candidate, she should be getting engaged soon.
Xuanyuan Yu stared blankly for a moment. She had clearly not thought about this much before, as if she had occasionally heard it from others before. But he didn't put it to heart, and now that he heard her say so, it seemed that the wedding date had really been set. And then, he understood as well. So Liu Mei actually did this to harm him, hmph, no wonder. So it was because he coveted this.
Lucky looked at her and thought she was amused. Then she said happily, "It's a good thing to have a party in this house." If you go, your status will definitely be different. When the time comes, you can even get a reward. That's three times the normal rate, a whole three times. "What if his status and worth are different?
Xuanyuan Yu finally understood. It wasn't because of that position, but because of her reward. She had actually come to frame him for such a small matter.
The mood in his heart was at its peak, yet he still smiled and said, "In the future, it will also be you who will marry your young mistress."
It was clear that she was also looking forward to it: "That would be for the best."
Lucky for her, she suddenly remembered, "Miss is not yet served. You just woke up, so you should take a good rest. After dinner, I will go serve Miss. You can eat by yourself later."
Xuanyuan Yu, smiling, nodded and said, "Go!"
However, she unconsciously patted her chest. For a moment, her eyes looked so scary, and then she blamed herself for thinking too much. It was just a maid, what was there to be afraid of? She was definitely too tired and did not have a good rest.
As she watched Lucky leave, Xuanyuan Yu realized that she was a bit hungry. She thought that she would be able to eat later. However, he didn't want to get involved with Niu Mei, so he walked away by himself.
However, Xuanyuan Yu dragged her tired body along and discovered that everyone in the mansion was looking at her differently. Xuanyuan Yu was puzzled at first, but then realized that many of the people in the mansion had already eaten the pastries she had cooked that day. Although the Madam and the Young Miss no longer blamed her, the atmosphere in the entire mansion had changed. Those who had greeted her before now stared at her furiously as though they wanted to eat her up. The gazes of those who had smiled and nodded at her before were filled with hostility. Xuanyuan Yu could not help but smile bitterly. It seemed that it would be extremely difficult for him to survive. However, so what? They could not eat her.
