Shui Lianyue ignored Hongying and walked slowly towards the door. She stopped in front of the servant who had just driven them away. She lightly opened her lips and said, "Can you please inform the Fourth Madam that Lianyue is back?"
”.
Her words were indifferent, and her face in her white gauze hat was as cold as a plum blossom in late winter, calm and proud.
The servant was stunned for a moment, and then a middle-aged man walked out of the door. He was dressed in blue-grey clothes, with a fearful look on his face, and his steps seemed to be a little hasty. He walked directly in front of Shui Lianyue, looked at her first, and then said doubtfully
: "Girl, are you really the Fourth Miss"?
Shui Lianyue said nothing, but gently lifted her white gauze hat with her fingertips, revealing her delicate and charming face, "Is it fake?"
The middle-aged man only glanced at it, then immediately bowed his head and knelt on the ground, crying out: "Fourth Miss, Fourth Miss, you are finally back. Where have you been all these years? The master and his wife have been looking for you for most of the year."
They were so anxious that they couldn't find you."[
Shui Lianyue just glanced at the middle-aged man lightly, a hint of disdain in her expression flashed away, she did not respond to him, but bypassed him and walked into the gate of Shui Mansion grandly. The servants guarding the door had just heard
If you go to Wu Chang's housekeeper, you won't dare to stop him.
Upon seeing this, Butler Wu raised his head, but his extremely ordinary eyes became even more frightened, and he hurriedly got up and chased after him.
Along the way, Butler Wu led the way, through the hall, around the rockery, through the garden lake, and arrived at the fourth lady's yard.
This place is obviously too remote, and the dead branches and leaves on the bluestone are scattered all over the ground, and few people come to clean it. It can be seen that my mother has become even more unsatisfactory in recent years.
Butler Wu saw Shui Lianyue staying outside the door and did not come forward, so he couldn't help but explain: "The fourth lady came back in a hurry, and the old slave has not informed the fourth lady in time." After saying that, he turned around and walked to the door, knocking loudly.
Get up.
Shui Lianyue looked at the door. It was broken and peeling, covered with cobwebs and dust. Due to Butler Wu's knocking, dust fell frequently. She sighed softly in her heart. She thought she was missing and her father would always take care of her.
He looked at his mother, but didn't want to, and became even more miserable and embarrassed.
Now that she is back, although she does not have much emotion for her mother, she is still her mother in this body, and she is the only person in the world who treats her sincerely. From now on, as long as she is here, she will
I will never let anyone bully my mother again.
After a long time, the broken door opened. The people inside saw Butler Wu first and seemed very surprised. "What can I do, Butler Wu?"
Listening to the cautious voice, Shui Lianyue felt a little blocked in her heart. She took a step forward and pushed Butler Wu away. Only then did she see clearly the person who opened the door, Qiaocui. She was the only one who had been following her mother and serving her wholeheartedly.
He never abandons his mother, is willing to be mistreated by others, and never complains.
"Aunt Cui," Shui Lianyue called softly. She changed her previous coldness and spoke extremely softly.
Qiaocui was stunned when she saw the woman in white in front of her. Her thin and haggard old face burst into tears. She stepped forward and hugged Shui Lianyue, wailing: "Miss, my fourth lady, is it really you?"
?Is it really you? Wow, Fourth Miss, where have you been? The old slave and the madam are almost dying of anxiety."
Shui Lianyue never liked others getting even closer, but at this moment, she was willing to be hugged by Qiaocui. Even Hongying beside her was moved to tears by this scene.
After a long time, Shui Lianyue gently patted Qiaocui's back and said softly: "Okay, Aunt Cui, isn't Yue'er back? You should be happy."
Only then did Qiaocui realize her gaffe, and grinned again: "Yes, yes, the Fourth Miss is back, I should be happy. Let's go and see the Fourth Madam. She has lost weight all because of the Fourth Miss."
It’s been done several times.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiaocui took Shui Lianyue and walked into the yard, ignoring Butler Wu. Seeing this, Hongying followed her in. Before Butler Wu could speak, she slammed the broken door shut.
Butler Wu had never been so angry. After all, he was also the steward of the first house, and his status was much higher than that of the Fourth Madam. In anger, he immediately gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, but because there were two housekeepers behind him,
Ding couldn't help but turned around and walked away.
But Hongying, who had been peeking through the crack in the door, smiled broadly. With her eyesight, she could still see well. Just imagine, she didn’t have to look down on people who the young lady didn’t care about. What’s more, the young lady was a rich man.
As a mother, she is still a wife no matter what, but now she lives in such a dilapidated courtyard. It can be seen that she has been a lot angry with Butler Wu on weekdays.
Walking into the dilapidated house, Shui Lianyue's heart felt like a silent lake with ripples splashing around. This is not a place for people to live. The yard is overgrown with weeds, and the roof can't even see the sky.
There were a few sparrows flying around the house, and there were all kinds of bird droppings on the ground, which was very smelly.
Looking at the furnishings in the room, they were covered with thick dust and seemed to be worthless things. Only the Eight Immortals table, which looked like carved mahogany lacquer, also had some paint peeling off, and the two chairs were missing arms and legs.[
Hongying couldn't bear it anymore, her brows were furrowed, and she was furious, "The fourth lady of the dignified Shuifu Mansion actually lives in such a place. It's really too much to bully others. I'm going to teach them a lesson."
"Hongying, come back."
"Miss", as soon as Hongying took a step, Shui Lianyue drank her back, her pretty face full of unwillingness.
Qiaocui also noticed Hongying and walked slowly to her side. The girl was so cute and cute. The more she looked at it, the more she liked her. "I think this is the girl Hongying mentioned in the letter. She is so cute."
Pretty, the fourth lady has very good taste."
Shui Lianyue nodded slightly and smiled lightly and said: "Hongying has a quick temper and a straight heart. Aunt Cui is not to blame."
"How could it be? The more I look at this girl, the more I like it." After saying that, he took Hongying's hand and his smile gradually disappeared. He looked at Hongying seriously and said: "Girl, don't worry, this time
The scene has not changed for the past two days. Even the master ignores her. If this girl leaves so recklessly, she will only cause trouble for the fourth young lady and her wife."
"This house is no different than outside. There are rules and etiquette everywhere. If you are not careful, you will get into trouble and get into trouble. Since the girl is following the Fourth Miss, it will be different for others. I am afraid that the girl will be wronged."
.
The more Hongying looked at Qiaocui, the more she liked her. No one had ever spoken to her in such a sincere and thoughtful way, not even her biological parents had ever treated her like this. How could she not be moved in her heart.
"Aunt Cui, Hongying is not afraid of being wronged, but she is afraid that she will wrong the Fourth Miss and Madam." After saying this, Hongying's eyes became red again, and she hugged Qiaocui, tears welling up in her eyes.
