boudoir

Chapter 78
"I've been bored in the room for the past few days, and I want to convince myself that you haven't betrayed me. I want to believe that since you swore last time, you've really been loyal to me wholeheartedly. Before I entered the mansion, I didn't Servants, there are only family members and relatives. I know that this is a world with clear distinctions. We have insurmountable identities. We must abide by some rules. But I still want to treat you as the closest person in my heart, because you are The first person I decided to trust. I am afraid that you will suffer a lot because of me, and only you will know all the secrets, but you treat my trust in this way! And I am cautious and Be cautious, be careful and be careful, but still fall into your schemes!"

If someone asks her what she hates the most in her life, she will definitely say that she hates being deceived the most, and the people close to her betray her the most.Because this kind of pain can completely crush a person.

Ruier sat slumped on the ground, weeping uncontrollably, she looked down, with endless indifference in her eyes.

"I can't accommodate you here anymore. Since you have served me for two months, I will find another place for you."

"girl!"

Rui'er hissed and screamed, her ten fingers dug deeply into the soil under her body...

Uncovering Ruier's secret didn't bring Liuli a sense of relief. This night, she wandered between half-dream and half-awake, as if many things had to be revisited, and there were still many things to change her mentality. Shouting grievances, Tian'er is asking Ruier's whereabouts, she protects Ruier and escapes, but she can't find a way out, and she is sweating all over.

Finally heard a burst of firecrackers, vaguely saw the direction, was about to rush out, but was woken up by someone.

"Girl, girl, wake up! Are you having a nightmare?"

The laurel crabapples were all beside the bed, all of them were in a hurry.It was bright outside, the spring was rising, and the larks were cheering.

She wiped her forehead and sat up, her sleeves were all wet, Yue Gui touched the back of her neck and exclaimed: "Oh, the clothes are wet too!" and hurriedly called Hai Tang to get the dry clothes.

Liuli was served by them, and subconsciously looked at the door, but there was no one there.Just as she was about to look away, a maid in festive clothes was poking her head over there.Liu Li said: "Is it the person from the long house?" The maid came in, looked her over, and said, "Sister Shuangxi asked me to pick up her purse."

Yuegui scolded: "Why can't you even be polite when you see our girl?"

The maid ran to the door: "I know you, you are the one who broke the legs of Furong in the fourth room! I won't mess with you, just bring Shuangxi's purse!"

Yuegui wanted to scare her, but Liuli called her back: "I think the head room is busy, find it soon and let her take it there." She got off the bed with her shoes on.Haitang also picked out a crimson dress for her to put on, and said: "Sister Rui'er doesn't know what's going on, but this morning, she didn't come to the girl's room, and just robbed the servants of the rough work. Let's do it."

Liuli ignored it and just played with a velvet flower.

The Ma residence will welcome the bride at dusk, and the luncheon will still be held in the Begonia courtyard.

None of the girls went to school. After dinner, Liuli and Huanhua were talking in a secluded place. Liuli asked her, "Did the third wife mention the marriage with Mr. Song Bi?" Huanhua frowned, "What is this?" I didn't mention it again for a few days, but I saw that my father seemed to be persuaded. He asked me about my homework two days ago and asked me to study hard. Isn't this obviously planning to marry me off?" Liuli looked at her , Said: "You care too much." But he was not in the mood to delve into it, so he pinched a daylily by the roadside, listless.

Huanhua said, "What's the matter with you?"

Liuli shook her head.Suddenly he said again: "I don't know if there is a shortage of people?" Huanhua said: "What do you want to do?" She seemed unintentional: "Oh, there is a girl in my room, I don't think it is easy to use, I want to find someone Send her away." Huanhua thought for a while, "It's Double Happiness? Then you can't send her away, she has served the young master before." Liuli said, "Where do you want to go? How dare I provoke you?" She. It's someone else." Seeing that she refused to say anything, Huanhua thought for a while and said, "Except for Shuangxi, the three in your house were all bought. You have to throw them out unless you sell them. If you just don't want that I have an idea with someone waiting by my side."

Liuli then asked, "What's your idea?"

Huanhua said: "The old man suddenly bought a lot of fields a few years ago, and now he is busy farming in the spring. There is a shortage of people in the village. The stewards there came to the house to ask for people. The old lady asked the eldest lady to find someone to buy. , most likely haven’t bought them all yet, you just need to send that man to the farm, won’t it be done?”

Liuli thought about it and nodded.

As the old lady's granddaughter and niece and granddaughter, Min Hua has given her enough face by the Yu family this time.The dowry was a full 64 liters, no matter whether it was silk, satin, gold, silver, jewelry or antique calligraphy and painting, it dazzled a group of girls who were still in their boudoir.Aunt Su wept with joy and led Min Hua to bow down to Mrs. Yu and the old lady. Mrs. Yu pulled Min Hua up and took off a phoenix bracelet on her wrist for her.

A whole house of children cried and laughed in the long room. On the one hand, the sisters comforted each other, and on the other hand, the elders gave earnest advice.Liuli couldn't cry, and was tired from laughing, so she sat down and said goodbye.

When the sedan chair was carried out, Liuli didn't look at it, because she was a little groggy after coming back from the luncheon, and she didn't have any appetite for dinner, so she fell asleep on the bed, and in the middle of the night, she felt dizzy and feverish.She hasn't been sick in the past few months since she came to He's house. This time, she thought she caught a cold from sweating too much last night. In the dimness, someone stopped feeding her soup and medicine, and cried for a long time. go out again.

This illness dragged on for a few days, and although her fever subsided, her body was always sick, and even delayed going to the main courtyard to pay her respects.Shuangxi went to report to Mrs. Yu, just when Dr. Wu entered the mansion to ask Grandma's pulse, and it was Minhua Sanchao who returned home. In front of everyone, Mrs. Yu said, "Go and show Nine Girls too." Kuayuan opened a prescription, and Liuli didn't get better after taking it for a few days, but it gradually dragged on.This day was the time when everyone went to the main courtyard to pay their respects, and everyone was discussing who had birthdays in April, and there was Liuli inside, and everyone inevitably talked about her illness.Huanhua said: "Speaking of Jiumeimei's illness is also strange, could it be that her zodiac sign is in conflict with someone?"

The old lady believed in this the most, so she asked what Liuli belonged to. Qingshang did the math and answered that it belonged to rabbit.Rabbit and Rooster are opposite each other, and then I asked Xiao Kuayuan who is Rooster, and it turned out to be Rui'er!Huanhua suddenly said again: "So that's the case! Now it seems that as long as Rui'er is moved away from Ninth Sister, she will recover."

The old lady said indifferently: "Whoever is lacking in the house, let's take her there. How long have you been in the mansion? If something really happens, those who don't know it should be treated harshly by us."

When Mrs. Yu heard this, she asked everyone, but everyone knew that Rui'er was used to Liuli, who would dare to take such a person by her side?There are no excuses at the moment.Huanhua then said: "Don't we need someone in Zhuangzi? Why don't we transfer her to Zhuangzi?" As soon as he said this, everyone agreed, and Yu asked Caiqin to send a message to Qian Changsheng's family on the spot. .

When the news reached Xiaokuayuan, Liuli was reading by the bedside, but her eyes froze when she first heard it.Yuegui Haitang all knelt down: "Girl, I'd better go and beg Da Furen, don't let Sister Rui'er go! Although the servant girl doesn't know why she offended the girl recently, she won't let her get close, but please see that she is used to it. For the sake of loyalty, give her a chance!"

It would be fine if they didn't mention the word "loyalty", but once it was mentioned, Liu Li closed the book and simply lay down.

The two Yuegui had to go out wiping their tears.Liu Li lay down with her eyes closed, until they closed the door, and then her shoes came off the ground.Opening the closet, I took out a pile of purses, sachets, shoes, socks, clothes and other things, opened the door and called to Yuegui: "Call Ruier over here." Yuegui hurried away.A moment later, there was a figure hesitating outside the door, and it took a long time before he opened the door and entered.

Having not seen each other for ten days in a row, Rui'er has become very thin, and the clothes that used to fit her body are becoming more and more spacious.As soon as she entered the door, she knelt down tremblingly and said, "Miss."

Liuli threw the large bag of embroidery work on the ground, "This is all the needlework you made for me, I don't want it, you take it away. According to my opinion, I should have fed you some arsenic to kill you I don’t want to get my hands dirty for someone like you. From now on, you will never remember me, and I will just pretend that I don’t know you. But if you say a word about me, the red-sleeve You have seen the end, and I don't know if I will give you a way out by then!"

"girl!"

Rui'er burst into tears like rain, fell on the ground and could no longer straighten her waist.

That night, someone came from the front yard to take Rui'er out, before she left, she handed the money box to Liuli, Liuli took it and lay down again.Qian Changsheng's family came to say hello, but she asked Shuangxi to say hello, but she never went out.

The next day Liuli was drinking medicine when Aunt Su came suddenly.

"Master heard that the girl is not in good health, so he specially asked me to bring some bird's nest." She motioned Heng Wei to pass the things to Shuangxi, and said: "This is the high-quality bird's nest that the old lady specially asked for. Remember to give it to your girls." Shuangxi quickly took it, and called Hengwei to go down for tea.There was no one in the room, Aunt Su suppressed her smile and said, "Why did you take Rui'er away?"

Liuli didn't even raise her head, and said, "Why did I kick her out, doesn't Auntie have any idea?"

Aunt Su paused, her lips parted slightly.Liuli sneered, "Auntie is so capable, she set up such a big trick, why didn't she think that she would be exposed one day?" Auntie Su was stunned, "You know all about it?" How can there be any paper that can cover the fire? You did everything perfectly, but unfortunately you hired the wrong person, Ruier is naturally timid and fearful, and she killed someone for you, so how could she cover it up without showing any traces?"
