boudoir

Chapter 27
With this level, from now on, Liuli will ask Cuiying for her opinion on everything, and even praise her as if she is the master of the house, and Cuiying will gradually interrupt and say a few words in everything, as if she is the head of the family. The master's steward.

Let's not mention this matter for the time being, let's say that after Liuli returned to her room, she didn't even take a nap, she took Rui'er to trace the embroidery pattern in the room, and when the painting was finished in the evening, she studied with her what kind of embroidery would look good with which clothes, so This whole day, Rui'er has not even stepped out of the gate of the courtyard.On the contrary, Tian'er went to the main courtyard after lunch, and didn't come back until it was almost dark.When I came back, my face was happy again.

At night, when Liuli was about to write, she called Rui'er to grind the ink.She didn't intend to stop until it started to change outside.Rui'er couldn't help but said: "Miss is really in good spirits today."

Liuli raised her head and glanced out of the window, seeing that the new moon had also faintly appeared, so she put down her pen and said, "It's getting late, let's rest!"

Rui'er made the bed for her, helped her to lie down, and said: "Miss, go to sleep, the servant has gone back to the room."

Liuli has never had the habit of keeping people in the room overnight, as soon as Rui'er left, she turned over and lay on her side facing the window.

The bedrooms of the three servant girls are next door, and Cuiying Tian'er has already rested at this time.Rui'er fiddled with it lightly for a while, then suddenly the light went out, and she seemed to have fallen asleep too.Any sound in the dark night can be heard very clearly. About two sticks of incense, there was a very subtle new movement next door, first the sound of clothes rustling, and then the sound of pressing the door open.

Liuli quickly got up, put on her clothes, and waited under the window.Although the brilliance of the new moon is not great, but there is a lamp under the porch, and when the lamp is not lit in the house, you can see the scenery outside very well. After a while, you can see a slender figure coming out of the next room quickly, He bowed his head and walked straight to the courtyard door.When passing under the window, she stopped, but she only hesitated for a moment, and she went out without looking back.

Liuli went out to follow.The person in front was also very vigilant, looking for a quiet and tricky path to avoid eyes and ears, fortunately, Liuli has been exercising sooner or later, her physical strength has increased a lot, and she followed her through the pavilions to the long room without being noticed .

The man arrived at the long room, but he didn't go in. He just spat lightly at the courtyard door, then went around again, and walked through the hall to a small courtyard with white walls and gray tiles.

Liuli recognized that this was Aunt Su's courtyard, at this moment she saw the person knocked lightly a few times, then opened the door and walked out, with a rough voice, she was surprised when she saw her, and said: "Rui'er? ! Why are you here so late?"

Rui'er glanced around and said, "Where's Auntie? Is she there? I have something urgent to do!"

The old woman let her in and closed the door in a blink of an eye.

Liuli straightened up, sneered, turned around and disappeared into the bamboo forest beside her.

Rui'er came out, it was already time for a cup of tea, she paused at the door, then turned left and planned to return the same way.Unexpectedly, after only two steps, a person flashed out from the nearby bamboo grove, barely blocking the way.

When Rui'er saw this person clearly, her face turned pale.

"Gu, girl, why are you here?"

Liuli looked at her and smiled slowly: "Why are you here?"

Ruier sucked in a breath of cold air on her face, took two steps back, and leaned against the wall.

Liuli sneered, turned around and strode back.

When she came to the corner, she turned her head and stared, and Rui'er came back to follow,——no one can say that she is not a child, but at this time, no one can treat her like a child anymore.

In the garden, Liuli made a detour to the inner lake. There is a water pavilion in the middle of the lake, which is only used for enjoying the cool in summer. At this time of day, not to mention the middle of the night, even during the day there is no one there.

Rui'er followed her up the curved corridor, seeing her face getting more and more gloomy, she couldn't help but hold on to the straps of her clothes.It is a fact that she is the most insignificant master in the mansion, but she is a domestic slave after all. At this time, she personally caught her having something to do with Aunt Su. No matter if she sued her to Mrs. Yu or the old lady, she would have nothing to do with herself. The good fruit to eat, but now she brought her here, I don't know what to do.

There is only a set of simple bamboo stools in the waterside pavilion. Liuli walked to the window and pushed the window half open. The lake breeze rustled the residual lotus under the window and brought a chill into the room.

Liuli was silent for a while facing the lotus leaf underneath, then turned around and walked to the leeward place inside, and said, "Do you know why I brought you here?"

Rui'er trembled, shaking her head.

Liuli pondered for a while, but then said: "You were brought in by Ren Yazi. Qian Changsheng's wife has always been in charge of the people entering the mansion. Is it because you have a relationship with Aunt Su, or is it that Qian Changsheng and his wife are Su's wife?" Auntie's people?"

Rui'er bit her lip and didn't speak.

Liuli glanced at her, and then answered by herself: "Of course you colluded with Aunt Su, and then brought in by Qian Changsheng's family. If even Qian Changsheng is already Aunt Su's person, then she is now You are no longer an aunt. Don't think that if you don't answer, I won't figure it out, the three of you all have other masters, and I have long known that you secretly work for Su Meiyin."

Rui'er looked at her in horror: "Girl, girl..."

"It's because you concealed it too badly. Otherwise, when Tian'er was seriously ill, why should I think that you would be able to go out of the house to buy medicine? I, a child, asked you to find medicine for her to drink, and you didn't say anything I just went to do it, and I didn't worry about me treating her to death at all. If she died, Cheng's mother would naturally ask me to settle the score, and the eldest lady would definitely blame me. In this way, the grievances between me and the eldest lady will be settled, and this At that time, Aunt Su was not the only one who wanted me to have conflicts with her the most, but she was the only one who would help me with things and at the same time set up a rift between me and Mrs. Yu. Maybe she thought that sending you over would be enough to deal with me, but Obviously she was wrong. By the way, do you know how the mansion handles this kind of servant who serves the second master in private?"

Having said this, Liuli walked to the window sill again, pointed at the cold lake surface, and took two pieces of bricks she got from somewhere with one hand and slapped them on the window: "As far as I know, no less than ten people have drowned in this lake. Man, don't think that I can't beat you, just throw these two pieces of bricks over, and you don't have to go to the lake to die!"

"girl……"

Rui'er was still holding on at first, but now her whole body was trembling like sifting chaff, and her legs unconsciously knelt down: "Miss, please forgive me! Although my aunt sent me to serve the girl, I never let the slaves harm the girl! I beg the girl For the sake of Rui'er's devotion on weekdays..."

"Then what did she ask you to do!"

"She... Auntie, she let the servants take good care of the girl. If the girl wants to know, she can tell her. For the rest, just tell her what the girl does and what she says every day."

"So she knows that I let you frame and engrave the chapter?"

Rui'er was stunned, and lowered her head with tears in her eyes: "I know about the engraving of the chapter, but I haven't yet about the mounting of the painting..."

Liuli stood up straight, took a few steps, and stared at her on the ground, "If I spare you today, I'm afraid you will retaliate against me in the future. If I kill you, I will offend the Bodhisattva, so I'll hand you over to Da Furen." it is good."

"No! Girl! The servant is willing to obey Aunt Su's arrangement because Mrs. Yu killed my father. The servant wants to use the girl's power to avenge my father. If the girl hands me over to her, then I will Where are we going to seek justice?!"

Rui'er was panicked, and the words that followed were screamed out with crying, and Liu Li was also taken aback for a moment.

"She killed your father?"

Rui'er sobbed: "My father was a long-term worker in her dowry shop when he was alive. One day something was lost in the shop, so he raped my father and stole it, and beat him to death. Not long after that, the item was in the hands of the shopkeeper's son. It came out of her hand! My father died in her hand!"

Liuli didn't expect that there was such a layer. After looking at her carefully for a long time, she didn't hide or evade, with resentment surging between her brows, she really didn't look like she was lying.After bowing her head in thought for a while, she stood up, shook her head and said, "I can't avenge this revenge for you, you'd better go back to Aunt Su."

Rui'er grabbed her sleeve: "Aunt Su will not harm you, and I also respect the girl's character very much, what good is the girl so eager to expose me and drive me away?"

Liu Li said: "Why are you so sure that Aunt Su will not harm me?"

Rui'er was at a loss for words.

Liuli smiled slowly: "Then I'll give you an idea. You go back to Aunt Su's room now, and tell her everything that happened just now, without missing a single word. If she asks you to come back after listening, you Just come back, if she doesn't let you come back, I'll take it for granted."

"girl!"

Rui'er was stunned, holding the skirts on both sides tightly with both hands, as if she couldn't keep up with her rhythm at all.

And Liuli sneered, gathered the lapel of the cloak, strode past her and walked out of the waterside pavilion.
