Xiao Qingyun disdained to care about the affairs of the backyard, not because he didn't understand the twists and turns involved.
In this palace and that cannibalistic imperial palace, everyone's mind is filled with calculations. Xia Qinghe's little tricks are nothing in the eyes of these people.
He has seen many women like this who are unscrupulous and scheming in order to get close to others.
He immediately smiled indifferently: "Since you have such ulterior motives, I cannot let you down. From today on, you will go to the laundry room and do my laundry!"
"Wha…what?"
Xia Qinghe couldn't believe her ears.
She didn't expect that her deep affection didn't earn her any sympathy from Xiao Qingyun, but instead she was sent to the laundry room to wash clothes?
She exhausted all her energy to wait for, but what she got was only an even crueler result!
"Your Highness is doing this for her, right? She's just a lowly, vicious servant girl, worse than a country woman. How on earth is she any better than a concubine?"
Xia Qinghe's whole body tensed up, she pointed at Lingzhi with her finger, and her eyes were filled with uncontrollable hatred.
Seeing her slandering Lingzhi like this, Xiao Qingyun was immediately furious: "Get out!"
The sudden angry rebuke beside her ears frightened Xia Qinghe, and she saw that Butler Zhou was standing beside her at some point.
"Let's go, Aunt Xia!"
"No...Prince! You can't do this to me!" Xia Qinghe cried.
Butler Zhou reached out and grabbed Xia Qinghe's elbow, forcing her to walk out.
"Your Highness! Your Highness..."
Xia Qinghe was pulled away crying by Butler Zhou, getting farther and farther away.
The shrill cry resounded through the sky, startling the birds in the trees.
Seeing her miserable state, Lingzhi touched her nose and said, "Actually, she really didn't hit me..."
She wanted to say that she was just swatting a mosquito, but Xiao Qingyun raised his hand and interrupted her: "Don't worry about it, I will handle it myself."
"oh."
Lingzhi had no expression on her face, she just pursed her lips and lowered her head.
After all, she is not a kind person who adds icing on the cake, but a villain who takes advantage of others' misfortune.
Whoever treats her as prey will be ripped open by her.
…
…
When Ye Wanning saw that Xia Qinghe didn't come to serve her in the morning, she was about to get angry, but she heard from her personal maid that Xia Qinghe was punished by Xiao Qingyun to go to the laundry room to do laundry.
She was astonished, but at the same time, she felt relieved.
Although no one knew what had happened to Xia Qinghe that had offended the prince, it was clear from this that the prince treated this slutty vixen no differently.
This way, she felt relieved.
But after thinking about it, she waved to Qiu Ting and asked her to say hello to the manager of the laundry room and give Xia Qinghe some extra "care".
Seeing Qiuting do as she was told, Ye Wanning covered her hands with her handkerchief and laughed so hard that she was shaking with laughter.
…
…
Xia Qinghe had a hard time in the laundry room. She slept later than a dog and got up earlier than a chicken every day.
As soon as the sky was getting light, Nanny Huang started calling people to get up with a feather duster.
Because Xia Qinghe got up a moment late, Nanny Huang scolded her, "You wild boar, you want to eat bran? You've fallen into the laundry room, and you still want to eat and sleep well. It's already so late, and you're still not up to work!"
This sounds really familiar.
I remember that she had also ridiculed Lingzhi in the same way when she was in the county town.
Unexpectedly, this scolding fell on me.
Xia Qinghe was filled with grief and anger, but she had to pack up quickly and leave the house with the other laundry women.
In this laundry room, people are also divided into different levels.
Even when eating, everyone has different ways of eating.
Nanny Huang sat at the table with some of the more senior people, eating and drinking four hot dishes and a soup.
The other women could only stand at the kitchen door, holding dry steamed buns in their hands and swallowing them with a bowl of porridge.
Xia Qinghe didn't expect that she would only be given white steamed buns in the morning. After all, washing clothes is hard work and consumes a lot of physical energy.
She was reluctant, but she knew that this was not the place for her to be picky, so she could only go to get the steamed bun with a sullen face, but unexpectedly, she was knocked to the ground by Nanny Huang with chopsticks.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing the white steamed buns rolling to the ground and covered with dust, Xia Qinghe immediately glared at Nanny Huang and questioned her.
Madam Huang just gave her a contemptuous look and said, "The new arrival only has porridge."
"Don't go too far!"
Xia Qinghe's face turned red with anger.
Huang Ma Ma put her hands on her hips and cursed, "What are you yelling for? This laundry room is not a place where you can act wildly! If you want to eat, eat. If you don't want to eat, get back to work!"
Xia Qinghe looked at her with trembling lips, as if tears were about to come out.
No matter how stupid she was, she knew she was being targeted.
A tiger in dire straits is bullied by a dog; a man under someone's roof must not bow his head.
Even if Xia Qinghe wanted to be tough, she couldn't resist her stomach that was already growling with hunger. She could only endure the grievance and drink a bowl of porridge with only a few grains of rice.
"After dinner, hurry up and wash the clothes. Today, each of you should wash three basins, and Xia Qinghe should wash five basins. You are not allowed to sleep at night if you don't finish washing the clothes." Nanny Li gave the task.
"Why do they wash three basins and I have to wash five?"
Xia Qinghe glared at Nanny Huang.
Nanny Huang glanced at her calmly and said, "It's our custom here to 'look after' new arrivals. I'm just doing my job."
As she spoke, she glanced around again and waved the whip in her hand: "Hurry up and work hard, otherwise I will use this whip on you!"
Seeing this, the laundry women immediately took up the clothes and scattered.
Xia Qinghe bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, then picked up a laundry pestle and started working on the distributed clothes.
Huang Ma Ma walked around with a whip in her hand, shouting:
