Maid's Survival Manual

Chapter 237 Don't Pretend
Compared with the hustle and bustle in Qinyue Garden, Qinfang Garden has been silent.

The four of Si Long waited for a long time in the corridor with their hands folded, but they didn't see any movement from Manman. The four of them could only look at each other before they dispersed.

Only Si Long was left guarding in the corridor.

Seeing that the golden sun was sinking, night fell, and it was time to light the lamps that there was movement in the house.Si Long's legs were numb, but he didn't know it. Hearing the movement, he suppressed the panic in his heart and raised his voice to ask, "Miss is awake? Do you want someone to come in to serve you?"

The sound in the room paused, and there was no sound for a long time. Si Long almost jumped out of his heart, thinking that she had misheard the sound just now.

Fortunately, Manman finally spoke: "Come in, prepare hot water for me."

Si Long let out a "hmm" from his throat, tears almost flowed down, and hurriedly wiped his eyes with his sleeve, then ignored the soreness of his legs and feet, and insisted on getting up to ask someone to prepare hot water.

The room was dark, filled with an indescribable depression.Si Long lit the lamp, and saw Manman sitting by the bed.She was only wearing an inner coat made of fine white cotton, with long hair hanging down, her expression was serene, her eyes were staring at the faint yellow candlelight, she was a little dazed.

Si Long stepped forward and said, "Girl, you must be hungry too, did the servant ask someone to set the meal?"

Manman glanced at her, nodded slightly, stood up and went to wash her hands and face in the copper basin.

Si Long stared at her profile, only felt that although she looked peaceful and peaceful, she was full of desolation in every way.The more he watched the eye sockets became more sore, Si Long forced himself to cough, and stepped forward and said: "The girl is too impatient, let this servant pull up your hair anyway, look, it's all wet."

She stretched out her hand to gather Manman's soft and shiny black hair into a bunch, and tied it neatly for her, and then put the hairpin back on. Then she reached out and took the clean towel and handed it over, pretending to be relaxed and saying: "Young lady, It was really heavy sleep, I think you are tired after going out today?"

Manman wiped off the water from her face, put down the towel, glanced at Si Long, and said softly, "Si Long, do you understand why I told the four of you to leave?"

Si Long bit her lip nervously, shook her head and said, "I don't know."

Manman sat down, didn't look at her, just turned her head slightly and said: "I am that duckweed on the water, I have no home, and my life is uncertain. If you follow me, you will only suffer." Without saying a word, he concentrated his mind and said, "I'm leaving here tomorrow."

Si Long didn't say a word, she didn't even dare to ask Manman where she was going.

Manman stared blankly for a while, then smiled and said: "It's nothing, I never thought that it would become like this, anyway, I really plan to let go."

Si Long then knelt down and said, "The servants still say the same thing, no matter where the girl goes, I just hope that the girl will not dislike it, and let the servants continue to serve you by your side."

She didn't quite understand what Manman said, but she vaguely knew that it should have something to do with Chen Yunzheng.A woman with ups and downs like Miss Su is rare in the world.It was originally a lowly common house, planned by the sixth master painstakingly, once married to the sixth master, it is already a legend in the world, what's more, the accident happened between them, and the change from wife to concubine is even more dramatic.For other people, the more thrilling and twists and turns the better for such talks, but for the parties concerned, the pain in the middle is probably self-aware.

The four of them watched Manman walking up the thorny road all the way, and they didn't know how uncomfortable and distressed they were.

Things have been like this, Chen Yunzheng is just a scholar who didn't win the first place, even if his family has a little money, he can't be compared with powerful writers.What's more, he has already married Wen Churuo, who is the sixth grandma of the Chen family, and there is no room for change... If you want to talk about your reputation, such a man, such a relationship, such a marriage, you don't need it.

Although Si Long was worried about Manman's future, but when she heard that she really planned to let go, she still felt a tinge of joy in her heart.

Manman helped her up and said, "I know what you guys think." She smiled to herself, and said, "It didn't happen, I always thought I was alone, but I made friends with the four of you sisters. I don't think I have ever treated you There are so many favors, but I have benefited a lot. I am really ashamed. No matter, one can be three, not over and over again. If I always push you out, even if I don’t know good and bad, I will inevitably make you feel cold. Heart."

Si Long was overjoyed, and said: "The slaves have nothing to worry about if they have the words of a girl. No matter how much they suffer in the future, the slaves can feel at ease."

Manman nodded and said with a smile: "It may not always be suffering and suffering, I don't think I'm so unlucky. Anyway, I was bound by the demons in the past, and I looked forward and backward in everything. I deserve it. If this road doesn’t work, I’ll change to another road, no one wants to always get hit and bruise.”

Manman didn't go on talking, just raised her head slightly for a while, and then told Si Long: "There is no need to clean up the things here, except for some scattered silver and banknotes that I carry with me, please help me put them away." That's it, the rest is fine."

Sloan nodded.Clothes and jewelry are all belongings outside the body, and there is nothing to miss. Instead of being picked and picked by Wen's maids and guarded like thieves, it is better to simply throw them away.

She asked: "According to what the girl means, I'm afraid the slaves can't leave with the girl?"

Manman hummed, and said: "Your deed of prostitution is in your own hands, and you are free to come and go. When I leave, you should find a chance and talk to Master Liu before leaving."

Si Long responded, and asked again: "Your servant understands, but how should I approach the girl?"

Manman said: "Don't worry, if you have nowhere to go after leaving the mansion, go to Sanweiju first, and then I will ask someone to meet you there."

After the master and servant discussed, Si Ling and Si Yi set up dinner.

Manman then asked the four of them to sit together: "Don't stick to your status, I have never used you as slaves, today is the last meal, and I am deserted even if I eat alone, so just sit down and eat together, it's okay Livelier."

Si Ling glanced at Si Long and saw her nodding, so she sat down and said with a smile, "If I knew we were going to sit together and eat together, we should cook the pot. That would be interesting."

Manman smiled and said: "It's not going to happen today, let's do it another day, and I won't have a chance in the future."

Si Zhen then echoed, "Yes, yes, yes, the future will be long."

This idiom is well used, and all five people have smiles on their faces, just like the grass in the cold spring, although it is very faint, there is always a little greenness and hope.

Although Manman said that they want to separate, the few people don't have any worries about parting.When Manman's life was at its lowest point, they all watched from the sidelines, no matter how bad it was, it was just the same as now, and they were all young, talking and laughing, but they didn't feel too sad.

It's just that before the dinner was finished, I heard a cold snort from the yard: "Some people are really big-hearted. No matter what happens, no matter when, they can talk and laugh. That's right, from now on, they can climb high branches. Do you want to enjoy yourself?"

Hearing this voice, one knew it was Jinxiu.

Si Lingteng stood up, and retorted: "Don't talk and laugh, why don't you still cry and wipe away your tears? What I hate most in my life is talking about tears every now and then. If you don't cry, you will die?"

Si Long stretched out his hand and tugged at Si Ling, and said in a low voice, "Why do you need to be as knowledgeable as her?" Anyway, I'm leaving here, so there's no need to get angry with her, and Wen's will not be worth the loss if he tries to control their masters and servants again. .

Jin Xiu was not angry either, she just said: "Laugh as often as you can, anyway there will be days when you cry, I'm afraid that when the time comes, you will cry but there will be no tears, then it will show up in my eyes."

Manman twitched the corner of his mouth.This is really embarrassing, without any scruples, Jinxiu is purely a rhythm of death.

Hearing Wen's light reprimand: "Alright, Jinxiu, what nonsense are you talking about?"

As soon as they heard that she was coming, the four of Si Long hurriedly stood up, those who opened the curtains opened the curtains, those who cleaned up the dishes cleaned up the dishes, Wen Shi was dressed in a fine attire, and stepped in imposingly.

The jewelry on her head was also shining brightly in the dim light, dazzling people's eyes.

The four of them saluted.

Only Manman was still sitting peacefully, only raised her eyes to glance at Wen Shi, and ordered: "There's no need to clean up, let's go down."

Wen Shi was very angry, but since he and Su Manman were already at odds, there was no need to pretend to be virtuous and magnanimous at the moment, so he waved Jinxiu and the others to step back, pulled up a chair and sat down in Manman's seat. Opposite Man, asked straight to the point: "Where did Master Liu go?"

Manman thought it was very funny, so she looked up at Wen and said, "That's your husband, your husband, how do I know where he is going? When Miss Wen Liu and Grandma Chen Liu handed Master Liu into my hands Keep it for you?"

Wen's eyebrows raised, but she didn't get angry, she just smiled and said: "Sure enough, this is not what it used to be, Su Manman, you can't pretend at last?" Don't think that she can turn around once she climbs up to the Ninth Prince, but that's not the case. Not a good lord to serve, what capital does she have?A body with broken flowers and ruined willows?The Ninth Prince has been soaking in the crowd of women for a long time, immersed in the flowers, what kind of beauty has never been seen before, how long will he love Su Manman?

Su Manman is a shallow-sighted person who will never be on the stage. She doesn't know that there must be room for everything. If she puts on a posture of liquidation with herself now, isn't she afraid of regretting it in the future?

Manman didn't get angry, just nodded and said: "Yes, as long as I have a noble background, or I have a sister who is a prince's side concubine, and a father who is a prime minister, I don't have to pretend to be gentle and virtuous, and be cautious. " She fixed her heavy eyes on Wen, and said with a light smile, "It's true that today is not what it used to be, now Grandma Chen Liu doesn't have anything to do with me, Su Manman, right?"

Wen's heart was chilled by her look, and he asked subconsciously: "How are you doing?"

Manman only chuckled twice, and stated calmly: "What do you think? I didn't complain when you robbed me before, just because I'm not qualified, doesn't mean I'm a soft persimmon. You say By the way, today is not what it used to be, just to avenge your bullying back then, I will also flatter the Ninth Prince, the benefactor."

　In fact, I enjoyed it when I wrote the last two sentences.The function of Wen's role lies in the meaning of the passage being questioned.
