"No, I want to go in person." Shu Mulu's attitude was extremely determined. In desperation, Qian Moduo had to lead the way.
The Jingjun's residence is near the West Wall. It's not far from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. We arrived very quickly. There is a row of clean rooms at the West Wall. Before anyone gets close, they can already smell a stench.
Mo Duo subconsciously raised his sleeves to cover it up, and at the same time quietly looked back at Shu Mulu. Seeing that she didn't have any abnormality, he continued to walk forward with confidence.
Every clean room is guarded by a cleaning army, responsible for cleaning at all times. Because these people have been exposed to filth all year round, they always have a smell on their bodies that cannot be washed away. Because of this, no one
Be willing to interact with them.
There were so many Jingjun and old houses here, Qian Moduo didn't know which one Ruliu lived in, so he said, "My lord, please wait here while I go over to ask first."
After Mr. Shu Mulu nodded, Qian Moduo stepped forward, called a young eunuch, and endured the stench and asked, "Do you have a palace maid named Ruliu here?"
The little eunuch knew Qian Moduo, and he never thought that a big eunuch of his status would come to ask him about something. He was extremely frightened for a moment, and was afraid that the smell of his body would offend Qian Moduo. He bowed from a distance and said: "Go back, father-in-law."
If so, there is indeed a man named Ruliu who just came here the month before last."
Upon hearing the news about Ru Liu, Qian Moduo was so happy that even the stench filling his nose seemed to have faded a lot. He put down his sleeves and said, "What about her?"
The young eunuch pointed to one of the clean rooms and said, "My father-in-law, please look. The person guarding there is Ru Liu."
After waving him to leave, Qian Moduo returned to Shu Mulu, repeated what he had just said, and then said: "I will invite Miss Ruliu here."
"No need." Shu Mulu said hastily and walked quickly in the direction Qian Moduo pointed before. Qian Moduo hurriedly followed her.
As usual, Ruliu stood beside the clean room with her head lowered and her eyes lowered. There were cleaning tools in her hand. She seemed not to notice the ubiquitous stench and just stood so quietly.
No matter how smelly a place is, as long as you stay for a long time, you will become so numb that you can't smell it. Just like her, when she first came here, she smelled the smell every day, felt nauseous, couldn't eat, and lost weight in just a few days.
After a while, she became seriously ill and lay in bed for several days without being able to get off the ground. Fortunately, the king of Yama did not take her away. As soon as she recovered a little, she was forced to clean the clean room. That day, she squatted in the clean room.
, cry a lot, and after crying, clean up the clean rooms one by one.
And from then on, she began to become numb. Even if she was next to the clean room, she could still eat, and her eyes became dull in the daily life of the clean army. She didn't dare to think, no
Dare to think, because it will make her go crazy and lose the courage to continue living. But occasionally, she will think of her master who is imprisoned in Shuiyixuan, and Yushan who died innocently...
"Ru Liu." Xu was thinking too much, and she actually heard her master's voice. Hehe, the master was imprisoned in Shuiyixuan, how could he appear here.
Thoughts like this, the voice did not disappear. One after another, it almost made her unable to distinguish between reality and illusion. She even had hallucinations in front of her eyes. She saw her master standing in front of her wearing the clothes of a nobleman.
Looking at Ruliu with a withered face and dull eyes, Shu Mulu felt very sad. She took Ruliu's hand and couldn't help but said: "I'm sorry, Ruliu, I'm sorry, it was me who made you become like this. It's my fault!"
"
The warmth coming from the hand made Ruliu gradually focus. No, this was not an illusion, otherwise there would not be such a real touch and temperature in the hand. He was really... really the master!
"Master, is it really you? You...you came out?" Ru Liu looked at Shu Mulu nervously and fearfully, fearing that she had escaped privately.
Mr. Shumulus nodded vigorously, "Yes, the emperor has restored me to the position of nobleman and has also lifted my grounding. Ruliu, I'm fine, I'm fine!"
Hearing Shu Mulu's affirmative words, the tears that had not been shed for a long time flowed down from her eyes again. The tears flowed all the way to her chin, and then dropped into the dust. She didn't know what to say, but she just said over and over again: "
It's great, woo, Master, it's great, this slave has finally been looking forward to this day!"
Mrs. Shumulu stroked away the tears on her face and choked with sobs: "Don't cry. I came here specifically to take you back today. In the future, our master and servant can be together again."
Hearing this, Ru Liu suddenly remembered his current identity, quickly broke away from Shu Mulu's hand, took a few steps back, shook his head and said: "This slave smells bad. I can no longer serve the master. I will be intoxicated by the smell."
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Mrs. Shumulu didn't even think about it. She stepped forward and held Ruliu's hand tightly so that she couldn't break away. Then she said: "Yushan is no longer here, are you going to ignore me too?"
Ruliu shook his head anxiously and said, "No, I'm just afraid..."
"There's nothing to be afraid of. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't end up here cleaning up filth. In the final analysis, I'm sorry for you." Before Ru Liu could speak, she solemnly said: "Even if you smell bad,
The smell can never be washed away. I want you to serve me by my side and you are not allowed to go anywhere. Also, my road will not be easy in the future. Without you to help me, I'm afraid I won't be able to go very far."
"Master." Ru Liu held Shi Mulu's hand, and the tears kept flowing. What followed were the grievances and hardships of these days. It's over, the days of misery like hell are finally over. These words don't stop.
It's about her, but it's also about Shu Mulu.
Qian Moduo pressed the corners of his eyes hard and managed to squeeze out a tear, "Congratulations, noble man, the master and servant are finally reunited. I am really happy for you."
After comforting Ru Liu, Mr. Shu Mulu said: "Thank you, Manager Qian. I want to take Ru Liu away now, is that okay?"
Qian Moduo couldn't say no, and said repeatedly: "Hui Noble, please feel free to do as you please. I will transfer Miss Ruliu to Shuiyi Pavilion when I return later."
"Thank you." Shumulu nodded and left with Ruliu in the envious eyes of countless Jingjun. Every Jingjun here dreams of getting rid of living with filth every day, but few can realize their dreams.
Not much. Just like this time, if the Shumulu clan hadn't come back, Ruliu would have stayed here in the dark.
It wasn't until they all left that several figures came out of the darkness. One of the women said with a half-smile: "You really guessed it right, then guess where the Shumulu family will go next?"
