Xia Siling has been on a hunger strike since yesterday. She has not eaten any rice for three consecutive meals, which makes the servants around her extremely panicked. These people were assigned by Xia Song to serve Xia Siling, of course, in order to keep an eye on Xia Siling.
, to prevent her from doing anything else.
Now that the young lady has not eaten three grains of rice, the servants are running around anxiously. If there is something wrong with the young lady, they will really be skinned alive by Mr.
Accept.
Xia Siling did not eat in the morning or at noon, but only drank some tea. Her already weak body began to sway. When the servants were discussing whether to force Xia Siling to eat, Xia Siling took the initiative to speak.
"It's not that I don't want to eat it, it's just that these meals are really not to my liking. It's really hard for me to swallow them."
"What do you want to eat, young lady? The slaves will prepare it for you right away." All the servants were surprised. It turned out that it was for this reason that the charming lady of your family was different. She would rather be hungry for two days than eat unpalatable food. Although these meals
It was a delicious dish in the eyes of everyone, but it was not to Miss Jiao's taste.
"I suddenly want to eat the hand-made noodle soup made by Aunt Chen. Aunt Chen used to serve me, and the hand-made noodle soup she made is the most delicious. Apart from that, I don't want to eat anything."
Aunt Chen was a maid who served Xia Siling not long ago. Since Xia Siling lost her, Xia Song replaced all the maids and maids who were familiar with her. Xia Song knew that these people were with Xia Siling, so he gave them to her.
Xia Siling has a lot of conveniences. Maybe by taking advantage of these people, Xia Siling will get involved with Su Jin again.
"This... Aunt Chen has been transferred to an outhouse to serve. The young lady wants to eat hand-made noodle soup. The old slave can also make it. The taste is no worse than Aunt Chen. How about the old slave help the young lady cook a bowl?"
A woman said with a smile.
Xia Siling said: "If I don't want to eat what you made, I just want to eat Aunt Chen's noodle soup. Since I can't eat it, that's it. You can leave later. I want to be alone."
After saying that, Xia Siling turned her little face that turned pale with hunger and stared blankly out of the window.
The mother-in-law was furious and cursed in her heart, but she was helpless. Force-feeding Xia Siling must not be used unless it was absolutely necessary. Otherwise, Xia Siling would not starve to death. When Xia Song came back, she would definitely accuse herself and others of committing the crime.
Even if the father and daughter were at odds, they would never come to protect him and others. When the time came, he would not care that this action saved his daughter's life.
After the old lady went out, she gathered all the servants and women to discuss it together. Someone said, "Just make a bowl of noodle soup and bring it over. Just say that Aunt Chen made it."
So everyone hurried to cook, and soon a bowl of hot noodle soup was brought up, placed on the table and said: "Miss, this is the noodle soup you want, made by Mrs. Chen herself."
Xia Siling used a spoon to scoop up a small spoonful and brought it to her mouth. She just licked it lightly. She immediately waved her hand and swept a large bowl of noodle soup to the ground. The hot soup splashed onto the faces of several servants, which made them quickly reach out.
Covering his face, he yelled repeatedly.
Xia Siling gasped and pointed at the servants and scolded: "You slaves, taking advantage of my father's absence, you don't take the master's family seriously. On weekdays, it's just a lazy person. I don't have the appetite to eat a bowl of Aunt Chen's food."
You dare to fool me with the noodle soup, okay, I will keep this account for you. After dad comes back, I will ask him to give me this tone and process you one by one to see if you still dare to deceive the master?"
The servants turned pale with fright. Regardless of the burning on their faces, they hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy. Someone quickly shouted: "Miss, don't be angry. I will ask Aunt Chen to make a bowl for you to try."
Xia Siling scolded: "Are you going to deceive the master again? Go and call Mrs. Chen in from the outer house. I want to see her making noodle soup with my own hands, so that you don't fool the slave family again."
The servants and wives hurriedly agreed and came downstairs dejectedly. They all looked at each other in astonishment. The red marks on their faces were blisters caused by the hot noodle soup.
"What should I do? Mr. Xia told me before he left that no one from outside the house should be allowed to come in to see the young lady."
"What do you care about? If Miss doesn't eat, I'm afraid she won't be able to survive for a few days. Have you seen her? She just waved her hands and was panting. This is a sign of weakness. If Miss starves to death, we are all doomed.
"
"That's it, just ask Mrs. Chen to come in and make a bowl of noodle soup and then leave. If we just follow and watch, what big deal will happen? As long as we don't tell, how will Mr. Xia know?"
"That's fine, that's all."
The plan was decided, a woman left the inner house and went to the outer house to find Aunt Chen and told her that Aunt Chen had been serving Xia Siling in the Xia Mansion since she was a child. Although she and Xia Siling were masters and servants, they had a mother-daughter relationship.
Hearing that the lady had not eaten for four or five meals, she suddenly became anxious, dropped her work and followed her into the inner house.
At the second entrance of the house, a group of people from the Xia family's nursing home naturally questioned them. People from the inner house could come out, but people from the outer house could not go in. Zhang Heizi, the foreman of the nursing home, was also an old man of the Xia family, so he didn't know why.
He stopped them and quickly let people in.
Aunt Chen came upstairs, and when she saw Xia Siling's face, she immediately cried. When Xia Siling saw Aunt Chen, she just called out: "Auntie." Then she burst into tears.
Aunt Chen wiped Xia Siling's tears. She naturally knew everything that happened in the Xia Mansion. She also knew a little bit about why Xia Siling was treated like this by Mr.
Son, but after all, it is the master’s business and there is nothing I can do about it.
The maid watched from the side, and the two of them could not talk much. Aunt Chen quickly made a bowl of noodle soup in the kitchen downstairs and brought it to Xia Siling to drink slowly.
Xia Siling pulled Aunt Chen to sit in front of her, blocking the eyes of the mother-in-law who was standing at the door watching. She quickly took out a piece of paper and wrote a few words with an eyebrow pencil and put it into Aunt Chen's arms; Aunt Chen was startled.
, when he was about to ask, Xia Siling stopped him with his eyes.
Xia Siling raised her head and said to the mother-in-law at the door: "Go to the kitchen and help me get a plate of pickles. This is the only pickle I want to eat."
The woman hesitated for a moment, and Xia Siling suddenly became furious and said to Aunt Chen: "Look, Auntie, these are the slaves around me. They can't even scream. Auntie, you saw it with your own eyes. When Daddy comes back, make one for me."
Proof, if I don’t give these slaves a good lesson, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart.”
The woman quickly confessed and said repeatedly: "Miss, calm down, I'm going to get it now." She turned around and hurried downstairs.
The two of them got a moment to talk, and Xia Siling said quickly: "Don't ask why, aunt. I heard that the slave family is telling you that the slave family is in a very dangerous situation now. Daddy wants to send me to the palace to be a show girl. In addition, I am invited by daddy from the outer house."
Those nursing homes seem to be up to no good. They actually broke into the inner house that day. The slave family feels that they are going to cause chaos. You take the letter I wrote to you and immediately go to the Su residence at the south gate and hand it to the Su family members after you leave. Someone will come naturally.
Please save me, please auntie. Whether the slave family lives or dies depends on auntie. As long as the slave family escapes from danger, I will support auntie for the rest of my life."
Aunt Chen said hurriedly: "Miss, whatever you said, I will definitely deliver it to you. The strange thing is that the bandits in the outer house are secretly sharpening their weapons today. They don't go into the kitchen on weekdays. Today they went to the kitchen."
It's very strange to ask for food; Miss, I shouldn't have hired these people, these people look like a bunch of tigers and wolves, how can this be so good!"
Xia Siling said: "Let's forget about it for the moment. Dad has gone to other places and there is no time to tell him. You can't tell the nurses in Erjin either. Maybe they are in a group. If their purpose is exposed, you will definitely be killed by them.
The slave family doesn’t know who is the good guy and who is the bad guy now. The only one I can trust is you, my aunt. The only one who can save me is Mr. Su Jinsu. They are secretly sharpening their knives. Maybe they will take action as soon as they talk. You are out of trouble.
After leaving the outer house, hurry up and go to the street to report the news, we can't waste a moment."
Aunt Chen's face turned pale and she said softly: "I'll save it for you."
Xia Siling was still talking when she heard a knock on the stairs, and the woman quickly came up with a plate of pickled cucumbers mixed with oil.
Xia Siling quickly stopped and drank a bowl of noodle soup with just the pickles. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She burped and sighed softly: "It's so delicious. My noodle soup is better.
The slave family wants to eat more tonight."
Aunt Chen smiled and said: "This is easy to handle. I will come back to make it for you in the evening, but there is not much flour."
Xia Siling said: "Just go out and buy it. What's the problem?"
Aunt Chen said: "Yes, I will go out to buy some flour later. The flour in Nanmen Rice Market is the best, so I will go to Nanmen Rice Market to buy it."
The mother-in-law on the side said: "Madam Chen, it's time for you to go out. You are from outside the house, so you can't stay too long. If the master finds out, I will beat you and scold you."
Aunt Chen said hurriedly: "Let's go now." After Xia Siling gave her a loving look, she turned around and went downstairs.
Xia Siling lay on the railing on the second floor, watching Aunt Chen's back exiting the courtyard of the inner house and disappearing after being interrogated at the second floor, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Xia Siling withdrew her gaze, and suddenly her gaze met a gaze. From a high position, she could see very clearly. Under a locust tree outside the second entrance, a man had his clothes open, revealing a chest of tangled black hair, with a dog tail in his mouth.
Grass, looking at himself with a squinted face.
Xia Siling was startled and hurriedly fled back into the house like a frightened deer. She heard a faint sound of unbridled laughter.
