1740. Chapter 1740 Wrongly offending the tyrant 20
"You've already been relegated to the cold palace, why are you still putting on airs?" A sarcastic voice was neither loud nor quiet, but it just happened to reach their ears.
"What are you talking about? Who is putting on airs?" Hong Tao, who was already a little unhappy after being said a few words by Ming Xiaochen, heard what the palace maid said and couldn't help but retort angrily.
"Whoever agrees, let's talk about it," the palace maid said with a sneer.
"You..." Hong Tao was about to retort, but her sleeve was pulled by Ming Xiaochen.
"Empress, she said this about you." Hongtao looked at her in confusion. Are they just going to let her bully them?
"Hongtao, we are here to work, not to quarrel, hurry up and wash up." Ming Xiaochen knew that none of them had good intentions towards them, and it would be better to do more than to do less, lest it become even more difficult to get along with them in the future.
"Mother, you are too obedient to them. The weaker you are, the more they bully you." She had the deepest feeling about what it means to be kind and be bullied and ride on.
"I only know that if we ignore them, they will make trouble for themselves and ignore us." If we continue to argue with them, it will not do them any good. It is best to settle the matter.
"Huh?" Hong Tao picked up a piece of clothing that floated over from the opposite side and was about to wash it, but she found that it was torn a little on the top of the clothing. She was immediately frightened and turned pale. These clothes were all those of noble concubines.
, If the clothes of the prince and princess are accidentally torn, it is a serious sin.
"Hongtao, what's wrong?" Ming Xiaochen asked worriedly when he saw her face suddenly turned so ugly.
"This dress..." Hong Tao held the dress with a hole in it, looking like she was about to cry.
"What's wrong with this dress?" Ming Xiaochen took the dress from her hand, looked at it carefully, and found that there was a hole in it, just a hole.
Why did her face become so ugly? She frowned and said, "There's just a hole in this dress, and it wasn't you who broke it. Why are you so nervous?"
"Oh, my dear, you don't know something. These clothes are worn by people of high status. It's a big deal if a thread is pulled, let alone a hole. Although I didn't break it, but now it's my fault.
I can't even defend myself, I will definitely be punished, ugh...what should I do?"
Hongtao was so anxious that she was about to burst into tears. She had long heard that the rules in this laundry room were very strict.
"But this is obviously not you..." Ming Xiaochen was about to say something, when a palace maid who seemed to be on patrol came over. Seeing the two of them talking, she frowned and asked, "What are you doing? No need.
Are you working?"
When Ming Xiaochen saw someone suddenly coming over, he subconsciously hid his clothes on his body, stiffly smiled with a guilty conscience and said, "Sorry, let's go to work right now."
"What are you hiding in your hand?" The palace maid with very good eyesight asked suspiciously when she saw that she seemed to be deliberately avoiding her sight.
"It's nothing, just the clothes I just wanted to wash." Ming Xiaochen's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and her fingers couldn't help but tightly grasp the clothes of very good quality in her hand.
"The laundry? Why did you hide it when you saw me coming? Show it to me."
When the palace maid saw her eyes twinkling, she knew something was wrong. She was the supervisor here, and the clothes here were all worn by people of high status, so there couldn't be any mistakes.
