Hongdou reached out and touched the back of his head. Just when he was about to insist that he saw it with his own eyes, he heard his master say: "She was knocked unconscious when she arrived. She doesn't know anything. If Manager Li wants to know anything, just ask me directly!"
"Sorry!" Manager Li said with a cold face: "I am doing this for the young master. If you have lost your innocence, you are not qualified to serve the young master anymore. You should not even appear in front of the young master."
"They were just beating people." Chu Yunli's face was even colder than hers: "Of course, Manager Li insisted on putting some unfounded things on me, so I could only endure it."
Manager Li narrowed her eyes: "There are only you and the gangster here, so of course you can get whatever you say. It's not a problem to stay in the hospital all the time. Come back!"
The carriage was waiting outside, and Chu Yunli couldn't move. Manager Li was already prepared and called two women to carry people.
The carriage jolted and shook so much that Chu Yunli's whole body seemed to fall apart. He was beaten to death and almost died of pain. When he entered the He Mansion and lay down on Pan Jiuniang's bed, Chu Yunli seemed to have died several times.
It hurts so much!
Returning to his own territory, Chu Yunli quickly fell into a deep sleep. This sleep lasted for a whole day and night, during which he only drank medicine twice. When he woke up again, it was bright outside.
After a good night's sleep, Chu Yunli felt that she was much better. She had more energy than yesterday, and she was no longer weak when speaking. She endured the pain and pushed herself up against the bed. The door was pushed open, and Hongdou was holding it.
The tray came in.
Seeing her sitting, Hongdou was overjoyed and hurried forward: "Girl, wake up, drink some soup quickly. This is chicken soup, very nourishing."
Chu Yunli still didn't have much strength in her hands, so she didn't force herself. She drank the soup and medicine with Hong Dou's hand and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Hongdou was silent. She didn't want to answer at first, but seeing the persistence on her girl's face, she had to say: "Girl, don't worry about outside things. It's important to take good care of yourself."
In other words, something happened?
Just at this moment, someone came to the door again.
The wing room where the maids lived was not separated by a screen. Chu Yunli saw several people at the door at a glance. The two young girls standing in front were dressed as women, with their hair pulled high and wearing jewelry.
The clothes are much more luxurious than those of Hongdou, who is a maid.
These two people were assigned to this courtyard together with Pan Jiuniang to serve He Junhai's roommate.
The one walking in front is Jin Gui, and the one behind is Peach Blossom.
The three of them were selected by the madam together, learned the rules together, and came to this yard together. Because He Junhai did not favor anyone in public, the relationship between the three was not bad.
Jin Gui walked quickly to the bed: "Yesterday you didn't come back until midnight, so I guessed that something was going to happen. I didn't expect it to be so serious. Those gangsters were so rampant that they dared to do anything in the city. Hongdou said, if it hadn't been for her
When I ran out, a couple happened to pass by to help. Maybe you won't be able to come back... It's so dangerous." She patted her chest: "For people of our status, if we go out without protection, you'd better not go back in the future. You're so relieved.
If you’re not as good as your mother-in-law, I’ll ask someone to give you money.”
Taohua also answered: "That's right. By the way, have you seen the appearance of those bad guys clearly?"
Chu Yunli shook her head.
Pan Jiuniang really didn't see clearly. Hongdou was knocked unconscious. She was startled. Just as she was about to go forward to check, her vision went dark, a sack covered her head, and then she was kicked on the back.
After she fell to the ground, she was kicked around. At first she screamed in pain and begged for mercy, but later she couldn't even scream.
Taohua sighed: "The young master saw your misery and was very angry. He threatened to avenge you." She tilted her head, her face full of envy: "The three of us served the young master together, and the young master nodded to you first. And promised.
It really makes a big difference to you when you go out. Jiuniang, you are so lucky."
Chu Yunli: "..."
"This blessing is for you, do you want it?"
Taohua choked: "This is a fact, don't be unhappy."
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Jin Gui hurriedly smoothed things over: "Tao Hua, please say a few words. Jiu Niang is ill. Look at her face turning so pale..."
Taohua snorted coldly, interrupted her and said: "You help her, she helps you, but I am an outsider. I shouldn't be here today."
After saying this, he walked away.
Jin Gui shouted twice, but Tao Hua never looked back.
"Stop shouting." Chu Yunli rubbed her brows: "She always dislikes me, and I have figured it out. There is a relationship between people. If we can't get along well, then we should separate, and treat everyone
all good."
Jin Gui looked helpless: "Are you feeling better?"
Chu Yunli nodded.
Jin Gui stopped talking, waved away the maid beside him, and whispered: "Many people say that you have lost your innocence after spending the night outside and meeting a bad person. Manager Li has never taken care of things. The rumors are getting worse and worse.
, has spread to the ears of the young master. The young master lost his temper because of this last night. Taohua told me early in the morning that the young master seemed to want to drive you away."
Chu Yunli sighed: "Young Master really wants to drive me away, but I can leave obediently."
"But you were injured like that yesterday, so you shouldn't have been hurt by those bad guys..." Jin Gui became angrier as he spoke: "It's just the people outside who are spreading random rumors. I don't know what they are thinking. If you talk too much, someone will die."
"Don't say I haven't been bullied by those gangsters. Even if I have, and the young master really dislikes me, I won't die." Chu Yunli said seriously: "Seeking death for rumors is the stupidest thing."
Jin Gui suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "It would be best if you can think about it."
A voice of greeting came from outside. After Jin Gui heard it clearly, his expression changed. He quickly stood up and saluted. As soon as he bent his knees, a slender man was already at the door.
He Junhai did not look at Jin Gui, but walked to the bed and took a look at Chu Yunli's features.
"I asked the doctor to use the best gold wound medicine on you. There shouldn't be any scars on your face."
Chu Yunli hasn't had time to look in the mirror since she woke up. In her previous life, Pan Jiuniang was beaten and then disappeared. She only knew that her face was injured, but she didn't know how serious it was.
"Thank you, sir."
He Junhai frowned slightly: "Don't think too much, just take good care of yourself."
Chu Yunli raised his head and said, "Sir, they just robbed me of my money and then beat me up. When I was beaten, they said something to me, saying that I was blocking other people's way and that was why I was in this difficulty.
"
He Junhai looked surprised: "Whose way can you block as a maid?"
"I don't know either." The three ladies-in-law have become accustomed to calling themselves slaves in front of He Junhai. Chu Yunli is not willing to be so humble. After all, the maid-in-law is half a master. As long as He Junhai doesn't find fault, how can she call herself
Either way.
He Junhai was thoughtful and said: "Manager Li told me earlier that when you get better, you will be moved to the side hospital, and I agreed."
Moving to the side courtyard means that I will never get close to her again.
If it were the real Pan Jiuniang here, she would probably be sad to hear this. Today's women, after getting married, all honor and disgrace are tied to their husbands. He Junhai is a gentle person. Although Pan Jiuniang dare not give all her heart, she is facing
Such a man couldn't help but be tempted. She was only beaten but not bullied, so He Junhai refused to get close to her anymore, clearly because he didn't trust her.
Chu Yunli was silent.
He Junhai saw that she was unhappy and said: "I know that you support many people and need a lot of money every month. Don't worry, I have given instructions and Manager Li will give you monthly money."
"Thank you." Chu Yunli looked at the sunshine outside: "The weather is nice today, and I can barely move. I might as well move out today. Mainly... I'm afraid that the young master will be unhappy after seeing me."
"Don't be so anxious." He Junhai stood up: "Take good care of your injuries and stop wandering outside."
Saying that, he walked out.
Chu Yunli said to his back: "My leg bone was broken into three sections. I can't even stand up or go out. Young Master, someone beat your woman like this. Don't you plan to investigate?"
He Junhai had already arrived at the door. Hearing this, he stood still and said without looking back: "I didn't find out. You... must have been an accident. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let you go out."
Underlying the words, there was a hint of reluctance to leave Pan Jiuniang.
Chu Yunli knew in his heart that He Junhai did not fully believe that Pan Jiuniang had lost her innocence because he did not want to touch the woman who was already in love.
"I will always remember the kindness you have shown me."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Junhai had already stepped out of the door.
Hongdou stood guard at the door and heard what he said. When he came in again, his whole body was trembling: "Girl, how can the master doubt you? He also wants to drive you to the side courtyard. It's very far from the kitchen and the food is not there."
It will be cold when you take it back, not to mention that the servants are waiting for the dishes to be served. When the time comes, we..."
Chu Yunli smiled: "Hongdou, it's me who's burdening you. Go back and take some money to find the steward and ask her to find another place for you. I heard that Madam's yard is short of a tea maid..."
"I don't want it!" Hongdou rejected her and said stubbornly: "Wherever you are, I will be there!"
There is some connection between Pan Jiuniang and Hongdou.
Let’s start with Pan Jiuniang working as a maid to support her mother-in-law. She and her mother-in-law stayed in the Salesian Home for several years and grew up relying on the kindness of others. Later, Pan Jiuniang’s salary became higher and higher, so she was willing to help others. Hongdou’s
Her father caused trouble and affected the whole family. The family was ruined and only Hongdou was left. She was almost sold by her uncle and had no place to stay, so she begged her mother-in-law.
Her mother-in-law took her in for half a year. Hongdou learned about Pan Jiuniang's existence and took the initiative to serve at the He family. The master and servant had been getting along for two or three years, and this period was the most comfortable life Hongdou had ever had since she was a child.
Seeing how anxious she was, Chu Yunli smiled and said, "If you don't leave, I won't kick you out."
Not long after, someone came from outside again. This time it was Madam's personal maid, Lv Zhu, who came back. She held a box, put it down and said, "Madam wants you to move to the side courtyard as soon as possible."
Chu Yunli nodded: "I can't move, please find two people to carry me over."
She didn't bother her at all. Luzhu's face softened a little, and he stepped forward and whispered: "Madam is actually quite reluctant to let you leave, but... the safety of the young master is more important."
Hongdou was a little confused and asked: "Are those bad guys here for the young master?"
Lu Zhu glared at her: "Silly. What if the girl catches the disease from those people, and the young master... the internal diseases cannot be cured. In the eyes of the lady, the young master is the most important."
Rather than saying this to Hongdou, it would be better to say that he was deliberately mentioning Pan Jiuniang.
"Girl, don't blame Madam. After all, you have been in the palace for many years, so you should know how important the young master is to Madam, and there is absolutely no room for any mistakes."
