In the Mu Mansion, Song Cailian went to the study early in the morning with the chicken soup that had been stewed all night. Her husband did not return to his room last night. Hearing from his servants that he stayed in the study all night, Song Cailian felt at ease.
"Ah, look at my memory. I was only focused on bringing the soup over, and I forgot to bring over the steamed buns." Song Cailian didn't have anyone with him, so he couldn't help but sigh as he stood at the intersection.
Shuizhu happened to come out of the outer courtyard, and she still knew the news about her master. At this time every day, she would go out to Mu Mansion to inquire about the news at the Health Hall. She didn't want to meet the grandma here, so she went to greet her.
"This slave has met Grandma."
"Shui Zhu came just in time. I made breakfast for the uncle, but my brain is not working well. I forgot to take the buns, and there is no servant to follow. You can let me bring this soup to the uncle first, and let him keep it hot.
Drink, I'll get the buns." Song Cailian saw the excitement on Shuizhu's face.
Shuizhu looked hesitant and said, "Slave, go help Grandma get the buns."
There are differences between men and women, and it is not easy for such a thing to go through the hands of a servant of hers. Moreover, she has that kind of thought in her heart, which makes her instinctively refuse to have personal contact with the uncle.
Song Cailian put the tray into her hand, "I have never treated you as an outsider before. Go quickly, I am quick in my steps and I will bring the buns over while they are still hot."
Seeing this, Shuizhu couldn't refuse. He took the things and blessed himself before walking to the front yard. The smile on Song Cailian's face did not fade until the figure was heard behind the round arch.
According to Shuizhu's pattern these days, he must pass by this place every morning at this time, so he waits here with his things. Whether he can succeed in what he does now is a matter of time.
It turns out that after Murong just learned the news about his sister yesterday, he didn't mention it to anyone because of the situation. He was also annoyed by his wife Song, so he just spent the whole night in the study reading the book on war, and heard directly
Someone knocked on the door and Shuizhu walked in. Then he remembered that Shuizhu was worried about his sister and had been running out for a while, so much so that he forgot to tell her.
"What is this?" He was stunned when he saw what she was holding in her hand.
Shuizhu smiled and said, "Grandma made soup and asked the slave to bring it over. She went to the kitchen to bring the buns to the uncle. The uncle drank the soup while it was hot."
Putting the things on the table, he took the empty bowl and scooped out a bowl of soup with a spoon. He looked up and saw that the uncle had arrived beside him at some time. Shuizhu's ears warmed slightly, and he instinctively took a step back and put the bowl in his hand.
Pass it over.
Murong Gang stared at Shuizhu without reaching out. He only felt that Shuizhu's shy look made him impulsively want to hold her in his arms for a moment, but he knew he couldn't. When Shuizhu raised his head, he saw this scene
, the uncle stared at himself with burning eyes, the heat in his ears could not help but spread to his face, and his whole body felt hot.
"Uncle,,," Shuizhu knew that he couldn't go on like this.
Murong Gang just came back to his senses and took the bowl in the air. Before he could drink, he heard a bang and the door was pushed open from the outside. Song Cailian looked at the two people facing each other in the room with tears on his face.
Shuizhu was stunned, "Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
After saying that, she stepped forward to help her, but the magpie stepped forward and knocked her hand off, "Miss Shuizhu, you are the girl next to my eldest aunt, but my master has never regarded you as a servant.
I didn't expect that your conscience was eaten by a dog, and you wanted to arouse my uncle's thoughts behind my master's back. No wonder the kitchen cooked chicken soup last night. My master thought it was you who saw my master injured.
, I just had such thoughts, but I didn’t want you to be An’s fault. Now that my aunt is still missing, you have such thoughts, and you don’t feel ashamed.”
Magpie chattered a lot, Shuizhu just looked at her quietly, and finally his eyes fell calmly on Song Cailian, who had been crying. I always thought this grandma was good, but I didn't expect to set such a big trap today.
Let yourself dance. It's just that the eldest grandma thinks too highly of herself. She is just a servant. If she really doesn't like it, she can just throw her out of the house.
Also, if the master finds out when he comes back, then he will directly offend the master. But if he really admits this crime today, it will also be a slap in the master's face.
Originally he didn't want to explain and laugh it off, but at this moment, Shuizhu suddenly changed his mind, "I'm afraid Sister Magpie doesn't know the whole story. I went out early and happened to meet the grandma bringing chicken soup to the uncle. Because I forgot
I just asked my slaves to help me deliver the things. Is there any shame here so that we can misunderstand you?"
After saying that, he looked at Song Cailian, who was wiping away tears, to see how she would explain.
Murong Gang's face turned cold after hearing what Magpie scolded him. However, he had always been cold-faced, so that no one could tell that he was unhappy at this time.
He casually threw the bowl in his hand on the table, "Although the Mu Mansion has just been built, it can't tolerate the master's silence, so the servant stood up. Those who have no rules, come here, pull down the stick and punish him with twenty."
As soon as Murong Gang finished speaking, Magpie's legs softened from fright and he knelt on the ground, "Master, please forgive me. I can't see that my master's kindness is being taken advantage of, so I have bypassed you this time."
Song Cailian also said in a panic, "Husband, it's all my fault. I didn't take care of the servants around me. It's all magpie's nonsense. I beg you, husband, to spare magpie this time."
Commitment actually also knelt down.
When the mistress begged for mercy for a servant, she even knelt down in front of so many servants, which made Murong Gang's face burn. He just felt that his wife was becoming more and more ignorant today and had even forgotten the etiquette.
If you don't do it today, your wife will lose her dignity as the mistress of the house in the future. But such an ignorant servant will cause big trouble sooner or later.
Besides, what would Shuizhu on the side think? Could it be that people from the Mu family were bullying her, an outsider?
Shuizhu turned to him and said, "Magpie is young and there is a misunderstanding here. I beg you to spare her this time."
Seeing Shuizhu speak, Murong Gang finally said, "I'll spare you this time. If there is another time, I'll drive you out of the house directly."
Magpie was there to thank him, but he didn't take Shuizhu's plea seriously. He only thought that Shuizhu was looking at his joke, and helped his master to stand up.
Murong Gang looked at his wife, "Kneel down for a servant, wouldn't you lose your identity as a mistress? Don't do this again."
Song Cailian's eyes turned red again, "I don't have to worry about you."
Seeing the grievance on her face, Shuizhu felt a lump in his chest, "Grandma, please explain what happened just now, so as not to spread the word about it and bring bad reputation to the uncle. I am just a servant and have nothing to fear.
But if it is rumored that the uncle is having an affair with the girl below, wouldn’t it ruin the uncle’s reputation?”
"I have wronged Miss Shuizhu. Miss Shuizhu is right. Whatever Miss Shuizhu said is what happened." Song Cailian started to curse as he spoke.
With that look, you had no choice but to be forced by Shuizhu to agree to this. Yes, the magpie glared at Shuizhu, its eyes wanting to poke holes in Shuizhu's body, and even the servants standing outside couldn't help but pass by.
It seems that the eyes on Shuizhu are becoming more and more wrong.
Murong Gang, who was sitting down, couldn't help but frown after hearing this. He didn't believe that Shuizhu was such a woman, but seeing his wife's look like this, he couldn't help but shake.
Shuizhu smiled faintly, "Since the young lady admits that what I said is right, I won't bother you."
Lucky himself, he bypassed the Song family's master and servant, turned around and retreated. Ignoring the strange looks from the servants around him, Shuizhu walked away. Without his master, he, a bastard like himself, couldn't tolerate it.
Comparing Shuizhu's attitude with Song Cailian's, Murong Gang only felt that his wife's belly was not as big as that of a servant, so he couldn't help but frown, "Take all these things down. From now on, you don't have to carry food to the study."
Already."
Seeing that her husband's attitude was obviously towards Shuizhu, Song Cailian felt bitter in her heart and said softly on her face, "It's all my fault. Even if my servants have such thoughts, they shouldn't doubt my husband."
"Didn't Shui Zhu make it very clear what happened just now? Why did she have other thoughts again? Ling Xue was divorced and has been living in the house. She knows what happened today. What did you ask her to do?
Think? She has only been away from the house for a few days, and the people around her have been suppressed. Will she still have the nerve to live here? "
Song Cailian's face turned pale, and she almost fell down, but fortunately she was supported by Magpie, "Husband, are you saying that I knew all this intentionally? In your eyes, am I worse than an outsider? I have always treated my sister as my own.
She is treated as a relative, and my husband sees her in his eyes, so why should I drive her out? If my husband thinks of me like this in his heart, he has really wronged me."
The magpie also knelt on the ground and said, "Uncle, when my aunt was coming back, she spent the night making a new quilt and said that people could not do it well. In those days, my eyes were red. If it was true that my eldest sister was so fond of her.
Whatever my aunt had in mind, she wouldn’t show it to outsiders like this.”
Murong Gang frowned when he saw the magpie, his eyes were a little bored with this magpie. Song Cailian saw everything with the corners of his eyes, fearing that her husband would get angry and punish the magpie, so she hurriedly snatched the words away.
"Husband, I know that I was not happy when I was with my husband at the beginning. If my husband feels that I am no longer worthy of my husband, my husband can divorce me. I will not blame my husband." Song Cailian cried.
Got up.
"Okay, I have something else to do, you go back to the backyard." Murong Gang waved his hands impatiently, unwilling to say any more.
Song Cai bit her lip and was helped out of the study by Magpie. Seeing the tears on her face, she felt that the eldest grandma was too kind, but she was bullied by her eldest aunt's servants, and the uncle did not help the eldest grandma to make the decision.
Suddenly, the servants also had objections to Mu Lingxue. Song Cailian knew that things would turn out like this. She regretted it countless times in the future. If she had known this, she would never have had such thoughts.
