Chapter 55 Family Letter
  The weather was sunny and the breeze was blowing, but Qianxue could feel the biting cold wind coming from Zhao's courtyard.

She lowered her head again and walked in without saying a word.

Mrs. Zhao was still sitting high on the main seat as usual, turning the Buddhist beads in her hands, and the green smoke curled up in the room, as if she had just worshiped the Bodhisattva.

She opened her eyes slightly and looked at Qianxue, who had just entered the room. She didn't say a word, but she was so frightened that Qianxue's legs softened and she knelt straight down. There was obviously a strong feeling in the room, and she was praying to Buddha. There was a scent of sandalwood, but there was no mercy in Zhao's eyes, like a man-eating evil ghost.

"It's different now that I'm favored. I can't even say hello." Zhao said slowly.

Qianxue's blood was stagnant and she said quickly: "I don't dare. It's just that I haven't seen Madam for too long. I was in a mood and made Madam unhappy with my clumsy words. I accept my punishment."

Mrs. Zhao waved her hand to signal her to get up, then took a sip of tea from the table, and then continued: "You are no longer a member of my courtyard. I punished you and made Yu'er unhappy. Not beautiful.”

As she spoke, she glanced at Aunt Zhao again. Aunt Zhao understood Zhao's intention and got up to get the things.

"I just didn't expect that after I taught you and raised you for more than ten years, you wouldn't come to my courtyard even once to say hello."

Qianxue broke out in a cold sweat and knelt down again, "I did something wrong a few days ago and hurt the madam. How dare you come in front of the madam without order to bother me? If you offend the madam because of me, you will definitely die." install."

Ms. Zhao chuckled lightly, but her eyes were still cold, "I always thought you were a down-to-earth person who only works, but I didn't expect that you also have a lotus-tongued side."

"My slave speaks from the bottom of my heart. You must not deceive your lady." Qianxue said "dong dong dong" and kowtowed three times.

At this moment, Aunt Zhao had also returned from taking the things. As soon as Zhao raised her head, Aunt Zhao took the envelope and walked towards Qian Xue.

"Take a look, it's a letter from your parents to you." Ms. Zhao raised her hand to fiddle with the lid of the tea cup without giving Qian Xue a look.

Qianxue's eyes suddenly lit up and she looked straight at the thin envelope in Nanny Zhao's hand.

"Thank you, madam, for your kindness." Her voice was not loud, but she meant it sincerely.

Seeing that the envelope was about to be delivered to her, Nanny Zhao's hand relaxed. The envelope followed the force and first drew a red mark on Qian Xue's cheek, and then fell to the ground.

Qianxue ignored the pain on her cheek and hurriedly picked up the letter. However, just when her fingers touched the envelope, she felt a sharp pain on the back of her hand. Aunt Zhao actually stepped on the back of her hand with her foot.

Zhao's words came faintly at this moment: "No need to thank me for my kindness, you just need to remember who you should do things for."

Aunt Zhao's kick was not polite at all. Looking at Qian Xue's pale face, she even twisted her foot back and forth a few times.

Qian Xue broke into a cold sweat from the pain, her face was completely drained of blood, and she even wanted to roll her eyes and pass out, but she couldn't.

She gritted her teeth, making a sound of pain, and squeezed out a few words through her teeth: "Slave... I understand."

"Well, as long as you understand." Mrs. Zhao said slowly, and then called: "Mother Zhao, give me some water."

Only then did Aunt Zhao move her feet away from the back of Qian Xue's hand, and respectfully walked towards Mrs. Zhao to help her refill her tea.

Qianxue's tears were in her eyes, and they would fall almost casually, but she held it back. She moved her injured hand with difficulty, picked up the envelope from the ground, and kept it in her arms. . "Now that you understand, then work with peace of mind. I will naturally make arrangements for your parents. Whatever you can do, your parents can get." Zhao lowered her eyes and looked at Qianxue, whose face was as white as paper. , then curved her lips and smiled, "I heard that your mother is not in good health. I will ask Aunt Zhao to send some medicinal materials later. She keeps eating low-quality food. How can she be healthy?"

Qianxue's hand that was stepped on was still shaking. After hearing Zhao's words, she had to endure the excruciating pain and thank her deeply.

Aunt Zhao walked to her side, helped her up, and whispered: "There is something going on over there, young master. Remember to report it in time."

Qianxue lowered her head and nodded cowardly. Zhao waved, and Qianxue thanked her again before leaving.

It wasn't until she was well away from Zhao's courtyard that Qianxue dared to stop and look at the condition of her hands.

The shoe prints have been rubbed on the clothes, making it difficult to see clearly. The entire back of the hand is swollen and bulging, and even the fingers are bruised. It is even more difficult to bend and stretch at this moment, which looks really scary.

Qianxue sighed deeply, feeling helpless. For a servant like her, she would just soak a handkerchief in cold water and apply it. The ice cubes were simply wishful thinking. She didn't know how much it would be able to be removed tomorrow and whether it would affect it. to work normally.

She sighed deeply, but she couldn't help but think about Zhao's instructions. She always felt as if she was a link in a conspiracy, but her mind couldn't imagine what she could do. It was just intuition. What he has to face is not a peaceful future.

"Qianxue?", a nice male voice came from behind. Qianxue's back stiffened, feeling that she was really unlucky today, and everyone liked to scare her from behind.

She didn't want to look back, but the man called her again, and his voice got closer.

"You are Qian Xue, I recognized you."

Qianxue had no choice but to raise a smile, turn around and salute, "My slave, please give your regards to the second young master."

When Jingxuan saw that it was indeed Qianxue, his face lit up and he quickly walked a few steps closer to her.

"It's really you, why didn't you respond to me just now?" Jingxuan didn't blame her, his voice was still cheerful.

Qianxue didn't dare to look at him and just replied in a low voice: "I was in a daze today. I just didn't notice someone calling me. I hope the second young master can forgive me."

Jingxuan looked at her carefully for a moment, then asked her to get up without courtesy, and then asked: "Why are you here today? Are you here to see your mother?"

Qianxue muttered: "Back to the second young master, it was the lady who called the slave to come and get the family letter from the slave's parents."

Jingxuan nodded. Seeing Qianxue lowering her head and not looking at him, his voice couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved, "We haven't seen each other for a few days, and you are so different from me. Are you afraid of my brother's punishment?"

When Qianxue heard this, she couldn't help but look up at Jingxuan and found that his brows were slightly furrowed and his eyes were clear. He was really worried about her. She couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart.

Although she had always denied it in front of Mrs. Zhao, it was true that she had a crush on Jingxuan, it was true that she had a desire to cling to her, and it was also true that Jingxuan had no intention of including her in the house.

Everything was her wishful thinking and had nothing to do with Jingxuan, not to mention that she and Jingyu did ridiculous things in Jingxuan's room twice, which was really unworthy of Jingxuan.
