How presumptuous! Who gave you the courage to criticize the second young lady?" Su Zhi's angry voice came, and the faces of the people outside the door became much more relaxed! Especially Su Xiyue, it seems that her brother is still very fond of her.
trust.
"Your Majesty, I don't have any slaves. Your Majesty, please save my slaves. I have become yours. Please save my slaves for the sake of the love between husband and wife."
When Cheng Zilan heard this, she looked a little uneasy!
Husband and wife for one night? How worthy is she, a cheap maid?
"Okay, you are the daughter of the harem, and it is your mistress who has the final say on how you live and die. What are you doing here to beg me for? Is it possible that you still want me to intervene in the affairs of the harem? What are you thinking about?
"Su Zhi scolded angrily.
Hongxiu seemed not to have expected that the prince would say such a thing. She immediately softened and sat on her knees, crying so hard that it made her feel so sad!
"Your Majesty, are you really so cruel? You want to protect my slave, but you don't care about my life or death?"
These words made Su Zhi hesitate for a moment. She was right. She had soiled her innocence after all. Even if she couldn't give her a name, she couldn't let others kill her!
While he was hesitating, he heard the voice of the boy outside the door greeting several people.
When someone opened the curtain and came in, Su Zhi looked a little embarrassed. When he saw Cheng Zilan behind Su Xiyue, he felt even more uncomfortable. He lowered his head, still feeling something was wrong, and turned his face away.
.
As soon as Su Xiyue entered the door, she didn't even look at the red sleeves on the ground. She said to Su Zhi, "Brother, my grandmother sent me a message yesterday, saying that my sister-in-law was sick, so I just came back home."
Look, it's about Yu'er's marriage, and I want to discuss it with my grandmother, brother and sister-in-law. What? But my sister-in-law and I came at the wrong time?"
"How could it be?" Su Zhi loves her sister the most. Because she loves her, she also has a crush on Su Yu'er, who likes her. In the past two years, his attitude towards Yu'er has also been good. I heard it today
When she talked about Yu'er's marriage, she naturally calmed down.
"My sister-in-law has not recovered from her serious illness. Please sit on this couch quickly. Come, please go and make a cup of ginseng tea for my sister-in-law."
"Yes, Miss Second."
Most of the servants in the house still call Su Xiyue the same name, especially some of the girls who are close to her still call her Second Miss.
"What's going on? Isn't this kneeling on the ground the red-sleeved girl who used to serve my grandmother? Why is she sitting on the ground? Brother, I didn't know that anyone can enter your study room outside.
?"
There is something in Su Xiyue's words! Who is Su Zhi? Now he is a famous young general. Where is this outer study? Where state affairs are discussed, how come a slave is allowed to rush in? What if this is the case?
Once word spreads, how much of his reputation as a general can be retained?
Su Zhi also understood now, and his face darkened, "Why don't you go down?"
If Hongxiu was sensible at this moment, she would naturally retreat obediently, but she is ambitious. Thinking that the second young lady just mentioned that she had served the old lady, could she just want to give her a favor?
Have a face for yourself?
"Second Miss, please be merciful! It is my blessing that I can be favored by the Crown Prince. I don't dare to expect any extravagant status. I just ask the Crown Prince's wife not to let me leave. Please help me, Second Lady! My innocence is gone.
If you are really kicked out of the house, you will have no face to see anyone! The second young lady has always been kind-hearted, so you should do your best and save this slave!"
There was almost no word in the words that the Crown Prince was treating her harshly, but it made people feel that Cheng Zilan couldn't tolerate her and wanted to kill her! He refused to give her a way to live! If these words spread,
How can Cheng Zilan be in charge of the family again? How can he show his face in this aristocratic circle?
Cheng Zilan has been depressed these past few days, unable to eat and sleep restlessly. Now when she heard the red sleeves, red mouth and white teeth say this, her face became even paler, and her figure was already a little shaky!
Su Xiyue grabbed her hand, and the warm heat spread along her hand to Cheng Zilan's heart. She glanced at Su Xiyue gratefully, knowing that she was signaling to herself not to be upset, and to be here.
Supporting herself. I feel grateful and ashamed at the same time. I am supposed to be her eldest sister-in-law, but I still have to be protected by her at all times?
"What does Hong Xiu mean by this? Are you favored by your brother? Brother, is this possible?"
Su Zhi's face turned red. How could his sister ask such a question? Instead, the elder beside him said, "Back to Second Miss, the prince and the young lady had a quarrel that night, and then they borrowed wine to drink in the study."
I was worried. Later, I got drunk, and the prince couldn't remember what happened next."
Chang Sui's words were simple, but she also understood. Su Xiyue listened and looked at his eyes, but she was a little more inquisitive.
"What's your name? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"Back to the second young lady, my name is Chun Sheng. The prince has taken a fancy to her. Since Chun'er was born, she has been with the prince all the time."
"You said my brother drank too much that day? How do you determine that he drank too much?"
Na Chunsheng rolled his eyes and said, "Back to the second lady, at that time, the prince kept calling the young lady's name. It happened that Hongxiu came in later, so the servant left after he came later."
What he said was a little unclear, but it was very ambiguous! This Chun Sheng and Hong Xiu seemed to have colluded!
Su Xiyue smiled lightly, not annoyed, "Where did Chunsheng work as an errand before?"
"Back to the Second Miss, I used to work as an errand at the Zhuangzi outside the city. When the young master left the capital last year, he went to the Zhuangzi to recruit people and selected the servant. So he has been taking care of the prince's daily life since then."
Hongxiu on the side was a little anxious. Why didn't this second young lady talk about her own affairs, but instead asked endless questions about this Chunsheng? Could it be that the second young lady was suspicious?
Chun Sheng also thought about this, but after all, he had been outside for a long time and had seen a lot of the world, so he didn't show anything on his face. The questions and answers were clear and clear.
Su Xiyue listened and nodded, that's it.
My brother left Beijing last year and has been busy with various affairs, so there is no chance that he would get drunk. This Chunsheng probably doesn’t know what kind of character his brother has when he is drunk, right? In this way, that night must have been like this.
The two of them worked together and forced the elder brother to accept this red sleeve?
After understanding this level, the smile on Su Xiyue's face became more and more calm, but the bottom of her eyes was as cold as the twelfth lunar month, making people feel cold all over at just one glance! Even sitting next to her
Cheng Zilan also feels that Su Xiyue looks like this, with the dignity and majesty of a superior person all over her body, which makes people dare not be disrespectful in the slightest!
