In the last life, Lan Xi put the blame on Qianlan, and even Liuyun blamed her embarrassment on the innocent maid. The maid who had been serving her was sent to the door and beaten with a cane for thirty years, and was placed on the bed.
After lying in bed for half a month, the incident with the cane created a gap between the master and the servant. Lan Xi always knew how to watch words and emotions. While she instigated Liuyun to misunderstand Qianlan, she also pulled Qianlan to her side.
Later, Qianlan became Lan Xi's spy, monitoring Liu Yun's every move, which is why Lan Xi knew about Liu Yun's pregnancy at the first time.
This time she already knew their plan, so how could she let things develop like this as they wished?
Wan Qing and Qianlan have been with Liuyun for many years. She used to not know how to use the resources in her hands, but now she is different from before. She is no longer the Mu Liuyun who allowed others to instigate and provoke her.
In the late Qing Dynasty, she came from a scholarly family, but something happened to her family. The female family members were sent away and sold, so they were bought by Mrs. Mu and given to Liuyun. Qianlan's family was a doctor, but someone framed them and said that they had killed someone.
He ran away overnight, but could not take away all the children, so he had to take away his two younger brothers. Qianlan was left in Linyang City and sold himself into the Mu Mansion.
"Second Madam, I'm afraid this matter cannot be handled hastily." Yanran was not pleading for Qianlan, but she was very interested in Liu Yun's look just now. She always thought that Liu Yun was extremely simple and had no twisted thoughts.
But that glance just now overturned her understanding of Liu Yun. She was very sure that Liu Yun was hinting at her to save his maid.
Why didn't she save the person herself, instead of asking her to open the door in a roundabout way?
Ji Yanran was a little confused and looked at Qianlan who was kneeling on the ground. She had some impressions of this maid. She was well-behaved and docile, and had some medical skills. She was considered the best among the maids.
"Why did Miss Cousin say that?" Even though Mrs. Lin is half a mistress, she is not the head of the family. She is still a slave in terms of status. Ji Yanran is the legitimate daughter of the Ji family, and her status is equal to that of Liu Yun. In front of Ji Yanran, she
He didn't dare to show off his usual ability and shrewdness at all, but instead looked at her lovingly, waiting for her next step.
"Liu Yun stumbled and fell into the lake. Now he wants to kill the maid with a stick. If this matter spreads, people outside will definitely say that the eldest lady of Mu Mansion is cruel and ruthless. She will not even let go of the maid who has served him for many years. In a few months Liu Yun
It's time for her haircut, and such rumors will greatly damage her reputation, so it's better to deal with this matter in a low-key manner." Yanran looked at Mrs. Lin calmly, her tone was not humble, and she didn't have a sense of superiority, but was downcast.
Speak openly, sharply and to the point.
Mrs. Lin's expression paused, and she glanced at Lan Xi, who was sitting beside her, and then at Qianlan, who was kneeling on the ground. A faint smile appeared in her eyes as she nodded, "My cousin is still thoughtful, so I can show my
Miss, come and see, how should we handle this matter?"
"Since she is Liu Yun's maid, just wait until Liu Yun is well before handling it on your own." Yan Ran tilted her head slightly and thought for a moment before replying, and then said to Liu Yun, "What do you think of my cousin doing this?"
No one knew what Liu Yun was thinking. Her long bangs covered the shadows under her eyes. After a while, she nodded, "Just do what my cousin said."
"Miss, if you are not punished now, it does not mean that you are not wrong. Go kneel outside the door for four hours and reflect on it." Yanran waved her hand, and Qianlan left the inner room with gratitude.
Lan Xi sat aside, pursed her lips, and her eyes were very complicated. From time to time, she looked up at Liuyun and then at Yanran, always feeling something strange.
How could Liu Yun in the past have allowed others to whitewash the peace so easily? Her temperament has always been domineering. If others respected her, she would pay them back in equal measure. She had never been one to suffer losses, especially when she believed that she was the one who pushed her.
, how could he give up so easily?
However, no matter how turbulent her thoughts were, Liu Yun kept a calm expression, and no thoughts could be seen from her face.
For the first time, Lan Xi discovered that this eldest sister she had grown up with would one day make her unable to understand and guess. This feeling made her tremble with fear. She always felt that something was slowly getting out of control and off the track, but
But she couldn't tell what went wrong.
"I'm a little dizzy." Liu Yun stroked his forehead, his face looked ugly, and he seemed to be really uncomfortable.
"Then you have a good rest, and when you wake up, let the doctor come over and take your pulse." Mrs. Lin helped her lie down distressedly, tucked her into a quilt, and said gently, "You can sleep a little longer."
After a while, Liu Yun fell into sleep. The second lady and Lan Xi left the inner room together. However, she glanced at the sleeping Liu Yun with a look of admiration, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and finally left her with them.
s room.
After they walked away, Liu Yun opened his eyes and looked at the bed curtain for a long time, as if thinking about something. After a long time, he called out, "Wan Qing, let Qianlan come in."
Qianlan lowered her head and silently followed Wan Qing in. She knelt in front of Liuyun's window. Just as she was about to speak, Liuyun raised her hand to stop her. She covered her forehead and said immediately, "I
Let me ask you, did you see who pushed me into the lake?"
Such a direct question made Qianlan's eyes widen suddenly, and she swallowed hard, not daring to speak.
Wan Qing suddenly narrowed her eyes, and she quickly grasped Liu Yun's meaning, "What do you mean, Miss, is it really the Second Miss who recommended it?"
Qianlan bit her lip and hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Liuyun. However, it was obvious that Liuyun did not intend to keep her silent. She only heard Liuyun's low and cold voice, "Qianlan, you are following me."
I have been around you for so long and you should know my character very well. I hate people lying the most. Since I dare to ask such a question, I must already have the answer in my heart. Tell me, what did you see? "
Just now she just casually said that Lan Xi pushed her. In fact, she knew very well that even if Lan Xi hated her deeply, she would not dare to attack her in public. The reason why she framed Lan Xi like this was just a test.
, but it was obvious that Lan Xi had a guilty conscience, which also proved Liu Yun's guess that her falling into the lake must be related to her.
She was frightened when she fell into the lake, so she naturally had to stand in the position of the victim, especially in front of her cousin Yanran. Although her cousin always protected her, she later had a cherished heart towards Lan Xi, so Liu Yun
It is necessary to curb this feeling of cherishing talents as soon as possible.
Moreover, she carefully recalled the process of falling into the lake, and she was very sure that she did not fall accidentally. She did feel someone pushing her. At that time, she, Lan Xi, and Lan Xi's maid were the only ones by the lake.
If there were too many people and the target was too big, Shen Yi and the others would find out, so he asked Qianlan to stand in the corridor not far away.
"It's... this slave saw... it was the young lady that Xiaotong stretched out her hand to push." After Qianlan finished speaking, she breathed a sigh of relief with a look on her face that she was ready to die.
In fact, it is the same whether it is a palace or a palace. The most important thing for a servant is to keep your mouth shut. You must know what you can and cannot say. Even if you have seen some things, you must pretend you have not seen them.
Originally, Qianlan couldn't say anything about today's incident even if she saw that it was Xiaotong who pushed her. Regardless of whether the eldest lady believed her or not, she, a slave, couldn't talk nonsense and cause conflicts among the masters.
But at this time, Qianlan suddenly summoned up the courage to tell everything she saw. After blurting out, she broke into a cold sweat. She looked at Liuyun hesitantly, saw a faint smile on her lips, and hurriedly lowered her head.
I turned my head and didn't dare to look again.
"Keep this in your stomach, otherwise I won't be able to protect you." After a while, Liu Yun spoke again and said something that shocked Qian Lan. Even Wan Qing, who was usually calm, looked at Liu Yun in surprise.
I tried to discern her thoughts, but unfortunately, I couldn't see anything.
This eldest lady, who had always been very moody and angry, actually learned to keep a calm look on her face, and no one could see through it.
"Don't you understand?" Liuyun raised his eyebrows and glanced at Qianlan.
"Thank you Miss for your unpunished kindness." Qianlan responded hurriedly. She carefully raised her eyes to look at the Miss. She felt more and more that the smile on the corner of the Miss's mouth was very strange, as if she was planning something or laughing at something. She was about to speak, but late
Qing grabbed her sleeve, shook his head at her, and signaled her not to make the young lady angry again.
Liuyun calmly noticed Wan Qing pulling Qian Lan, and secretly admired her. She was indeed a girl who was good at observing words and emotions. She was still able to calm down even at this moment. She seemed to understand why Wan Qing was attracted by Lin and her.
The reason why Lan Xi regards her as a thorn in her side is that this shrewd and capable maid will definitely become her right-hand man if she becomes successful in the future.
She suddenly remembered what her mother said to her when she passed away. She said, "Look at people with your heart, not your eyes. People who are really good to you come from the heart, not superficial skills. To survive in this big house,
The most important thing is to see through other people's hearts."
