Soft-waisted little maid

"come in."

When Xue Ke arrived in the second room, the second mistress was drinking tea with the second master.

The two of them were sitting at a carved round table, with a plate of candied sweet-scented osmanthus cakes stacked on top. My concubine also asked someone to bring some to her today. I guess it was made by Mrs. Wang in the yard. To everywhere.

Xue Ke stepped forward to greet the two of them, but his behavior was still relatively cautious.

After all, as soon as she came in, she felt that the atmosphere between the couple was not quite right. The second master looked calm, but the second grandma's eyes were red. It seemed that there was an argument before she came in.

Second Master Sun raised his head and looked at her, and took a sip of tea: "Are you the maid that the old lady sent here to serve brother Zan?"

Xue Ke blessed his body: "Yes, Second Master."

Second Master Sun nodded twice: "She looks like a smart and smart girl, and she has a lucky face. The person the old lady sent is naturally a good person." After that, he casually picked out a palm-sized fruit from the fruit plate on the table. The fragrant pear came and was thrown to the snow guest, "This is for you."

Then he turned back to Mrs. Xue, who had remained silent, and said, "No wonder Mrs. Lin kept mentioning this maid during the dinner party the day before yesterday. It seems that she was carefully selected and sent to our brother Zan."

Xue Ke felt guilty after hearing this.

Hearing what he said, she also guessed that on the day when the second master just came back, the concubine had changed her ways and said a lot of good things to the second master for her own sake.

Grandma Xue snorted when she heard what he said, but she didn't refute.

When Xue Ke saw this, it would be a lie to say he was not surprised.

After all, the way the second master and the second grandma are getting along now seems different from what is rumored by the outside world.

Speaking of Mr. Sun, everyone in the county said he was a filial, benevolent and kind man, but he was quite henpecked. The tigress in the family was spoiled by him to the point of becoming lawless. As a result, he was a second-grade official with only one around him. First wife.

Rao is his two stable and self-controlled brothers in Beijing, and they are also accompanied by wives and concubines.

But when Xue Ke saw him today, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Second Grandma Xue was a little afraid of Second Master Sun.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Mr. Sun's eyes immediately turned cold, but he still chatted with Xue Ke calmly: "When I go to Hangzhou this time, I think I can just come with you and Xiaoyu, Zan There must be someone guarding my brother's yard. Anyway, I can just let the Second Grandma decide on this matter."

At this point, when he saw that Grandma Xue was still silent, her expression became a little ugly. Regardless of Xue Ke's presence, he muttered: "I'll give you some face."

Second Grandma Xue's face suddenly stiffened, but before she could speak again, Second Master Sun had already left angrily, fluffing his sleeves.

Mistress Xue had a cold face, looked up at Xue Ke coldly, and asked word by word: "Have you heard enough? Seeing me suffer this, do you think you are angry?"

Xue Ke shook his head gently, but slowly and carefully nodded.

To say that I can't relieve my anger is naturally a lie.

She is not a kind person. She came here by chance, but she just wants to settle down in such a strange environment. She is afraid of being hated by others if she is tactful, and is regarded as easy to bully if she is tolerant. In this yard, Zuo One is not, the other is not.

And what I hate the most is, of course, this Second Grandma Xue.

But in addition to relieving her anger, now it seems that she also feels pitiful.Although Xueke didn't mean it, she still heard what Mr. Sun was thinking.

Only then did she understand that for so many years, in order to establish a good image in front of everyone and have a good official reputation, Mr. Sun had been using the guise of his second grandma, and actually raised her secretly in Hangzhou Mansion. Group after group of women, including famous prostitutes in Yangzhou, this morning, Second Mistress Xue had a quarrel with Mr. Sun just because she did not want to work with a prostitute anymore.

Sadly, even the fifth lady in the Sun family knew about this.

The only one who doesn't know is the third young master who has been kept in the dark by his family.

Thinking of this, Xue Ke took a deep breath, looked at Second Grandma Xue seriously and said: "Second Grandma, you are right, I really feel that I have vented my anger."

"You!" Grandma Xue was about to slap the table, but Xue Ke immediately continued.

"Second Grandma, I have been a slave in the Sun family since I was a child. I have always been anxious for the grace of the old lady and the masters. The Sun family is my master and benefactor to me. I have never disobeyed my masters in whatever they ask me to do. .”

"It's just that for the slave, the slave's life is also life. The slave does not want to die. No matter it is you, the old lady, or anyone else who wants to put the slave to death, the slave is unwilling. So you ask, are you harming me? I, I come back to see you now, you are not feeling well and you are not relieved, my slave’s answer is, relieve your anger.”

Second Grandma Xue sneered and said mockingly: "What you are saying, I told you not to put your thoughts on the Third Young Master, but you still have a wrong idea? You servants, you are not following the rules, and you are doing it one by one. It’s so much fun when I’m the bad guy!”

Xue Ke was unmoved: "Second Grandma, do you really think that what you are doing is for the benefit of Third Young Master?"

"That's natural. As a mother, could I harm my biological son?"

"Then what if you are wrong?" Xue Ke asked back, "You want to help him make decisions in everything, and you think that the idea you make must be right. Even if you think that the lives of us servants are not our lives, then the three Where is the young master? Is the third young master really happy? Have you asked him what he wants? "

"you"

Xue Ke ignored her and continued: "If you really feel that you are doing everything right, then please imagine yourself. Look at everything you have achieved for yourself now. These are what you want the third young master to do in the future." Have you experienced it? There is no regret medicine in the world. If you really make the wrong choice, can you bear all the pain for him in his life from now on? "

After Xue Ke said this, Mr. Xue stopped talking.

Maybe she thought about how her husband gave all his love to a Yangzhou prostitute after she was so busy. Maybe it was because no one had ever dared to point her finger at her and teach her this. In short, for a moment, she was really speechless. coming.

After a long time, Mistress Xue suddenly smiled helplessly: "If I had a bold little girl like you to serve me before I left the cabinet, maybe I would still like you quite a bit."

Xue Ke didn't expect her reaction. He was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "Second Grandma, this slave has overstepped her bounds."

She waved her hand: "Do you think I really don't understand what you are talking about? But how well do you know the rules of a wealthy family? It is said that raising a daughter is difficult, how easy can it be to raise a son? Those people far away in the capital Regardless of the fourth brother and the fifth brother, those bastards, just look at the fourth master next door to us. He has two maids who live in the same room and ruins the family. At this age, he doesn’t even have any heirs. Don’t you think so? When I was at my aunt's place, I never heard her complain about this? Well, that's all, what's the use of telling you this."

Xue Ke nodded and understood what Second Grandma Xue meant.

So she clenched her fists, looked at Second Grandma Xue very solemnly and said: "Second Grandma, don't worry, I have absolutely no intention of clinging to the Third Young Master. If you believe me, I can help to resolve the Third Young Master's feelings for you. Knot."
