After that rain, Yi Chenjing didn't appear again for a long time - the hot weather was about to enter August, and Concubine Jing, who was not in good health, couldn't bear the heat and needed to go to a small building on the mountainside outside the palace to recuperate.
Yi Chenjing was cautious and filial piety first, so he naturally wanted to go with him.
As a concubine, Suyan Surao was deeply loved by the concubine Jing. Although Suyan was worried about the inconvenience Bai Qige would have in the palace alone, she could not ignore the concubine Jing. She had no choice but to ask Jin Zhaoyi, who usually had a good relationship with her, to take care of her.
Su Rao, always shrewd and intelligent, gave her sister an idea in private. Behind Yi Chenjing's back, she secretly sent a letter to Zhao State to ask the Bai family to send Bai Qige's personal maid Yu Che over. She could leave with confidence only after everything was taken care of.
In fact, Bai Qige doesn't need anyone to take care of her. Neither Jin Zhaoyi nor Yu Che can give her what she wants. Her current situation is extremely unfavorable and has reached a level that no one dares to believe.
situation.
Who can you trust? Even her fiancé is a hypocrite. I really don’t know how Bai Qige herself behaves and fails to such an extent.
People say that only those with similar temperaments can become good friends. Jin Zhaoyi's temperament is not far different from that of Su Yan. They are equally kind and gentle. Seeing that Bai Qige has many bruises and scars on her body and is infected with cold due to excessive weakness, she is not stingy in giving it to Emperor Yao.
He used many precious medicinal materials to nourish and nourish him, and his caring care was even more attentive than that of Yu Che, who was a maid.
"Everyone in the palace or outside the palace is extremely powerful. I see that girl Yu Che doesn't look at you seriously all day long. I have to be more careful. If anything happens, just ask someone to come to Huai Nuanzhai to find me." Bai Qige Feng Han.
During those few days, Jin Zhaoyi was busy taking care of her personally. When there were no outsiders, he would say heartfelt words to her, as if the unfavored married princess in front of her was a very close sister.
At first, Bai Qige had doubts and always said that one point hides nine points. It was not until Jin Zhaoyi noticed her caution and explained the reason why it was resolved.
The reason why he cared so much about Bai Qige, who was hated by the seventh prince, was not just because of Su Yan's entrustment. Although the relationship was far away, it was not complicated. The source was Bai Haoyuan, the youngest son of the Bai family. Bai Haoyuan and Chang Siyi, the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Zhongzhou, had a close relationship.
They were getting married, and Chang Siyi was Jin Zhaoyi's close friend before entering the palace. Shortly after Bai Qige entered the distant country, Jin Zhaoyi received a letter from Chang Siyi asking her to take care of her. With both close friends and besties supporting each other, Jin Zhaoyi naturally
Be more attentive.
It's just a marriage and a substitute marriage. I really didn't expect the twists and turns of the interpersonal relationships in it. There was no one else in the room before going to bed. Bai Qige couldn't help but sigh, thinking about the things that were there and the things that weren't there. Being in a wealthy official's family had both advantages and disadvantages, but now she can
It is said to be a great benefit.
"The medicine is ready, pour it yourself when you drink it." Yu Che said impatiently as he placed the medicine pot and porcelain bowl on the table.
Yu Che, who is 28 years old, has good looks and two round dimples, but his attitude towards Bai Qige is always cold and distant, without even the most basic respect, let alone fear or respect. When Bai Qige was in Zhaoguo
The palace was like this, but she didn't expect that the palace of Yaoguo was still like this. After enduring for several days, Bai Qige finally decided to take good care of this personal maid who never took her seriously.
There was a crisp sound, and the porcelain bowl and medicine pot were swept to the ground by Long Sleeve at the same time. Fragments and medicine residues were scattered all over the floor. Even Yu Che's shoes were stained with large stains.
"Why are you so angry as a young lady? Do you still think that this is the White House and everyone has to treat you as their ancestor? It's okay to let the people of Quan Zhaoguo scold you if you don't live up to your expectations. It's finally of some use.
Even though I was married to a distant country, I was still a coward until death. If you have the ability, you can go and settle accounts with those who bullied you. Why are you so angry at me with such cold eyes? Why don't you look in the mirror and see what kind of virtue you have now!"
Viciously kicking away the broken medicine pot, Yu Che was so angry that his chest heaved violently, and he looked at Bai Qige with undisguised contempt and disgust.
"Is this what you're saying?" Bai Qige was neither annoyed nor angry, and took time to sit at the table, "I don't care what happened in the past. Now that you are my maid, you have to act like a maid. How others scold me and look down on me is their business.
, what does it have to do with you? Yu Che, use your head to remember firmly that I, Bai Qige, am your master. Do you understand what "both prosperity and loss" mean? If I am bullied, do you think you can
Do you want to be alone and not be implicated?"
Seeing that Yu Che's expression turned to surprise, Bai Qige smiled faintly, her ferocious scars unable to hide her noble and arrogant attitude: "No matter how bad it is, I am also the third young lady of the Bai family. I came to Lianchenxuan as a married princess. It is easy to deal with a servant. That's why.
The reason I was so patient with you before was not because I was weak, but because I didn’t want to break up with the only person in the same situation. But you didn’t want to repent and challenged my patience again and again. I can no longer let you be presumptuous.
Go down. From today on, you have only two choices, one is to do your duty and follow me, the other is to continue fighting with me and see who can have the last laugh."
Yu Che, who was arrogant and domineering just now, remained silent at this moment, secretly looking at the sitting woman with doubtful eyes, folding his arms and unconsciously hanging them in front of his lower abdomen, finally looking like a servant.
Yu Che has been by Bai Qige's side since she was eleven years old. Apart from the Bai family, it can be said that she is the most familiar with the third young lady of the Bai family. She used to be timid no matter what she did and was submissive to others. Bai Qige has been a coward for many years.
The image of being cowardly and cowardly, but hiding countless petty schemings is deeply rooted in Yu Che's heart.
I don’t know what happened. Ever since Bai Qige was attacked and drowned and was sent back to the Bai Mansion, she seemed to have changed. At first, she was silent and slow to react to everything. Then she started talking more uncharacteristically.
She also became much closer to the master, his wife, and the two young masters, and this time, it was even more unexpected. He actually acted like a master and scolded her for the first time.
Is this the third young lady of the Bai family, the person she has taken care of for five years?
Although he was dissatisfied, the intimidating aura exuded by Bai Qige made Yu Che inexplicably lose the courage to resist. He stood speechless for a while and didn't know how to react. He had to squat down and clean up the mess on the floor to hide his embarrassment and a little bit of anger.
fear.
"Don't clean up now, stand up, I have something to ask you." Bai Qige softened her tone, poured a cup of tea and put it on the table, "You have followed me for so many years, so you should know a lot about the past. Let me ask you, what happened between me and
How much do you know about Princess Hongxiao and Yi Chenjing?"
"Those are all matters of the young lady. How could a humble servant like Yu Che know about it?"
He said he didn't know, but his face showed that he was angry.
Bai Qige smiled and pushed the tea cup to Yu Che's hand: "You don't have to be dissatisfied because of what I just said. I won't treat anyone who treats me badly. The same goes for you. I was too frightened by the attack before.
I don’t remember things very clearly, so I’m just asking you to see if you can recall some of them, nothing else.”
"I really don't know. Miss, you used to be quiet and keep everything in your heart. Even if you were wronged and bullied, you would not say anything. If it had been like this..." Yu Che raised his eyelids and glanced at Bai Qige.
, hesitating and lowering his voice by half a minute, "If I had dared to think and speak like this, I wouldn't be disliked by Yi."
Yi? Dislike?
This time it was Bai Qige's turn to be stunned. It seemed that Yu Che was too careful to say more. Even if she didn't know everything about the grudges and grudges between Yi Chenjing and Hong Xiao, at least they knew more than herself. If Yu Che could
Tell everyone what you know, and many mysteries will be solved.
To gain people's trust, you must first give them trust. Bai Qige is not a wealthy lady who lives in the boudoir and never leaves the house. She is familiar with the skills and know-how of interacting with people, not to say she is proficient in them. She still understands these principles and has no worries about master and servant at the moment.
Zhibie took Yu Che's hand and squeezed it tightly.
"Yu Che, there are many things that cannot be explained at the moment, but I hope you understand one thing. I am no longer the Bai Qige who used to be manipulated by others and hide her scheming, and you don't have to guard against me. Now we are tied on the same rope.
Grasshopper, if I am powerless and bullied, you will also be discriminated against and despised, so I need your help, not only for me, but also for your own good."
Yu Che was dubious, and did not dare to pull back his hand but felt awkward and awkward: "If you have anything to do, just ask me, you are the master and I am the slave, there is nothing I can't help - as long as you don't harm others or yourself like before,
Just make it so hard for us servants to look down upon."
"I swear, I will never let you down." A flash of tenacity flashed in her eyes, Bai Qige was extremely calm, and every word was sonorous and powerful, "I will no longer let others bully me, and I will no longer let the Bai family suffer injustice, and those who have hurt me."
, none of them can escape, sooner or later they will have to accept retribution for the wrongs they have done, and pay with blood!"
Perhaps it was the undoubted brilliance in her eyes that influenced Yu Che. The young maid who had been complaining secretly a moment ago suddenly saw a glimmer of light coming from Bai Qige, a light that made people want to believe.
Picking up the tea cup and drinking it all, Yu Che took a long breath and looked at Bai Qi Ge no longer bored: "Most of what I know comes from private whispers between servants, and occasionally some of them are accidentally made by you when you are talking in your sleep.
I don’t know if it is useful to reveal it. Anyway, I have left the Bai family and the Zhao country. Yu Che does not ask for anything else. I only ask that the lady can protect the people around me and not let outsiders bully me. This is a bet I have made for my whole life.
, I hope I won’t regret it one day.”
"It's a deal." Bai Qige stretched out her palms with a gentle smile.
"Yes." Nodding heavily, Yu Che also stretched out his hand and gave Bai Qige a gentle blow on her delicate palm, "Before I came here, I heard that the palace maid I was friends with said that a person named Yi had gone to find a widower, so I guessed that maybe the person named Yi
We already know how the incident of Princess Hongxiao's drowning was concealed. Although it has been almost three years since that incident, it is not difficult to follow the clues and track down the young lady. I am afraid that the man named Yi treats the young lady like this now because he knows the truth——
"
Before she finished speaking, Bai Qige suddenly raised her finger to interrupt Yu Che's statement: "Yu Che, put these things away first and talk about it later when you have a chance."
Without explaining anything to the confused Yu Che, Bai Qige calmly sat down in front of the dressing table and glanced out the window from the corner of her eye. She saw a few leaves lying quietly on the ground in the empty courtyard.
