After Ruizhu was dragged away, Xue Zhi shamelessly moved closer to her, "Good Ah Xiu, you are not angry now, are you?"
Zheng Xiu snorted, "How long have you been standing here? You think I am not angry after more than a quarter of an hour?"
Xue Zhi said, "Didn't I help you deal with that person?"
Zheng Xiu snorted again, "I asked you to do a small thing, do you want to take credit for it?"
"No, no." Xue Zhi scratched his head, "Then I'd better stand outside. Remember to call me when you calm down."
Without waiting for Zheng Xiu to speak, he stood outside again.
Meanwhile, Minghui had already arrived at Changfeng Garden with two maids.
The movement of the group soon alarmed Princess Guihe, and she asked Qiurui to go outside to take a look.
Qiu Rui lifted the curtain and went out. Seeing Ming Hui, she asked curiously, "Why are you here?"
Ming Hui bowed to her and said, "Rui Zhu offended the Second Master, who was furious and refused to keep Rui Zhu. Madam thought that Rui Zhu had served the Crown Prince before, so she sent her to Chang Feng Garden."
Send her back to Chang Feng Garden? This means she is being picked out. Qiu Rui nodded calmly and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go and give the princess a reply." Then she turned around and went back into the house.
Princess Guihe was drinking tea at the table. After hearing Qiu Rui's report, she smashed the teacup in her hand, "Zheng is so mean. She sent back the people I was assigned to. Isn't this a slap in my face!"
Qiu Rui replied carefully, "Minghui said it was Second Master's intention..."
Princess Guihe snorted and laughed, "What Second Master's intention? I watched your Second Master grow up. He is a straightforward person. When has he ever been angry with a maid? If you don't believe me, pull Ruizhu in and ask her. This must have been instructed by Zheng."
"Ruizhu has been brought here. You see..."
Princess Guihe said, "She's just a maid. Lock her up first. Let someone find out what happened." Thinking of Ruizhu's charming and elegant face, she already had a vague guess in her heart.
Qiu Rui responded and went out to have someone gag Ruizhu, who was still crying, and lock her up in the woodshed.
After handing over the person, Minghui was about to go back, but another maid came out of the room and said that Princess Guihe wanted to see her.
Minghui couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. She calmed herself down and followed into the room.
The broken teacups in the room had been swept away. Princess Guihe held a freshly brewed tea and looked at her expressionlessly.
Minghui lowered her head, bowed and said, "I have seen the princess."
Princess Guihe did not call out, but slowly opened the tea lid, skimmed the tea leaves floating on the surface, and took two sips of tea. Minghui
did not dare to be negligent, so she steadied her body and half-crouched where she was.
After about a quarter of an hour, Princess Guihe finally spoke: "Did your wife want to send Ruizhu back?"
Minghui already knew that Princess Guihe was very unhappy. Although she was uneasy, she did not dare to neglect it and said: "It was the Second Master's idea."
Princess Guihe snorted again and put the teacup back on the table with a "bang". "You are loyal to your wife!"
"Your servant, your servant is just reporting the truth."
"Ha, what a good report of the truth." Princess Guihe's face became more and more ugly. She stared at Minghui and said: "I ask you again, is it your wife's idea?" Minghui
couldn't help but sweat on his forehead. On the one hand, it was difficult for him to maintain the half-squatting posture, and on the other hand, it was because of the pressure from Princess Guihe.
"I dare not hide it, it was indeed Second Master's intention."
This maidservant was so scared, yet she dared to lie in front of her. She didn't know what kind of drug Zheng had fed to everyone in Hao Yetang! Princess Guihe became more and more angry, so she simply ignored her and made her squat for another quarter of an hour before calling her back.
At this time, the little maidservant sent by Qiu Rui also found out the whole story and came back to report.
After hearing this, Princess Guihe sneered, "Just as I expected." This Zheng really thought she was a good person before, but didn't she show her true colors at the critical moment? !
She let Ruizhu go at the beginning, not because she really wanted Ruizhu to do something embarrassing. But she didn't care about Hao Yetang. She thought Ruizhu was a stable person and it wouldn't be a disgrace to Zheng to use such a person, so she gave her to him. Of course, she also wanted to test her - if she couldn't even control a beautiful maid, she'd better quit being the second wife!
What, seeing that Zheng used Xue Zhi to send Ruizhu back, could it be that she thought that she deliberately let Ruizhu seduce Zhi? So she sent her back to stab her?
On the Hao Yetang side, Minghui returned to a familiar place and finally put down the burden on her mind. Although she had never served in Changfeng Garden, she had heard about Princess Guihe's temper. She was obviously going to slap Princess Guihe in the face. If she was unhappy, she would definitely not end well.
Seeing Xue Zhi still standing outside the window, she couldn't help but smile softly, and lifted the curtain to reply to Zheng Xiu.
Zheng Xiu saw her come back, sat up straight, and said: "Minghui is back? The princess didn't make things difficult for you, did she?" It was only a few steps from Hao Yetang to Changfeng Garden, and Minghui had been gone for so long and hadn't come back yet. Zheng Xiu was worried in her heart, thinking that if she didn't come back, she would go to see it herself.
Minghui said: "No, the princess just asked me to go in and ask some questions."
Zheng Xiu saw Minghui's hair wet with sweat, and waved to Fen Ge, saying: "Bring an embroidered cushion over, let Minghui sit and talk."
Minghui hurriedly said: "I can answer while standing."
Fen Ge responded, and quickly brought the embroidered cushion and put it on the edge of the kang.
Zheng Xiu smiled softly and said, "Don't be polite in front of our own people. I think the princess must have made things difficult for you. Please sit down and talk."
Minghui sat down without being polite. Zheng Xiu asked Baizhu to serve hot tea. After watching her drink it, she motioned her to continue.
Minghui said, "The princess didn't say anything. She just asked me several times whether it was the Second Master's idea to send Ruizhu back or yours."
"Then what did you say?" "
Of course I honestly said it was the Second Master's idea."
The master and servant smiled at each other in tacit understanding. Zheng Xiu could guess how ugly and wonderful Princess Guihe's expression was. After coming to the Duke of Qing's Mansion for so long, Princess Guihe had always stabbed me openly or secretly. This time, she finally let out a sigh of relief!
Xue Zhi was standing outside the window. Hearing what was going on inside, he poked his head in and said, "What are you laughing at? Tell me, so I can laugh, okay?"
Zheng Xiu was in a better mood, and he didn't look so hateful anymore. She smiled and spit at him, "You are the one who talks too much, and you want to join in the fun."
Xue Zhi said pitifully, "It's better to be lively. Ah Xiu, it's so cold outside, and boring..."
After standing for more than half an hour, Zheng Xiu finally nodded and said kindly, "Come in."
