Chapter 7 Of course that would help her!
Chun Tao raised her head suddenly, with a look of fear in her swollen eyes, "Miss, what are you saying? I don't understand. I have served you for so many years, but my heart is always with you!"
She spoke with great confidence, but was ruthlessly exposed by Xia Ju, "You are lying!"
The last time she saw Chuntao taking the young lady's personal belongings and sneaking them to Jinyutang, she drew her knife to warn her halfway, but she didn't expect that Chuntao would bite her back and she was kicked out of Fenghua Pavilion.
Chun Tao immediately raised her finger and swore, "Miss, I am sincere and the heaven and earth can bear witness to my true feelings. I have absolutely no second thoughts!"
"Oh?" Xie Zhuoning raised his eyelashes slightly, "If you are so loyal, then why did you run out and shout everywhere yesterday, saying that I eloped with someone?"
"My servant..." Chuntao's heart was beating like a drum.
She was very worried yesterday, but Xie Zhuoning never pursued the matter.
She thought she had escaped, and thought that with everything going on yesterday, how could her mistress have the time to pay attention to a little servant like her?
I felt relieved and continued as usual.
Unexpectedly, her young lady knew everything!
She said carefully, "I was originally going to look for the old lady, but I was worried about the safety of the young lady, and in a panic, I didn't know where to go, so I went to the wrong place..."
Xie Zhuoning smiled and said, "I just like people like you who are stubborn."
She stood up and said, "Xia Ju, keep slapping her. Since she refuses to tell the truth, there's no need to slap her anymore. Just smack her till she's gone."
A glimmer of excitement flashed in Xia Ju's eyes.
She was very good at torturing people.
But Chuntao was not a tough person. When she heard the slapping continued, she immediately panicked.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything! The Madam promised that as long as I can help you get married to Young Master Liang, I will... be sent to serve the Young Master!"
"Tsk tsk~" Xie Zhuoning shook his head after hearing this.
This is truly a mother who is willing to sacrifice even her own son just to get a maid.
Liang's son Xie Mingyuan had just gotten married and did not have many concubines around him. Once his wife He became pregnant, he would definitely choose a few people from his surroundings to serve her.
She said that she treated Chuntao so well, so what could the girl be dissatisfied with?
So you want to be a concubine and a master!
What should we do if the people below us have great ambitions?
Of course that would help her!
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Xie Zhuoning sighed. "If you had told me earlier, wouldn't I have fulfilled your wish?"
Chun Tao couldn't believe what she said, "Is what the young lady said true?"
"Yes." Xie Zhuoning smiled very gently, "I am not such a stingy person. I will call the housekeeper to move you to the outer courtyard to serve you."
Chun Tao was overjoyed and kowtowed immediately, "Thank you, Miss, for your help!"
The housekeeper came over quickly and after listening to Xie Zhuoning's instructions, he was a little embarrassed, "I wonder which courtyard do you want to transfer Chuntao to, Miss?"
As Chuntao is the eldest lady's first-class maid, she cannot be asked to do the rough work of a maid.
But the outer courtyard is full of male masters, who are surrounded by experienced servants, and they can't force Chuntao in.
Otherwise, the eldest lady would be satisfied, but it would be difficult to explain to the old lady, the first lady, and the young mistress.
Xie Zhuoning waved his hands, "She wants to go to Big Brother's courtyard to serve, so you can arrange for her to go there to pour nightshade and clean the toilet."
Don’t you think summer oranges are smelly?
She should experience that feeling herself!
The housekeeper was very smart and immediately realized that Chuntao had made a mistake and was abandoned by the eldest lady.
This makes it easier. "I'll go back and arrange it."
"No, I won't go to the front yard, I won't go!" Chuntao suddenly became agitated and regretted it.
Being a maid, not only was the work tiring and heavy, but she also had no chance to come into contact with the eldest young master.
If she went to the front yard, wouldn't she just waste her time until she died?
She crawled to Xie Zhuoning's feet and said, "Miss, I was wrong. I will not go to the front yard anymore. I will only listen to you from now on. I will do whatever you tell me to do..."
Xie Zhuoning waved him away impatiently, "If you are unfaithful once, you will never use her again. Butler, I hand her over to you, please discipline her well."
"yes."
The housekeeper clapped his hands, and immediately two servants came in from outside, dragging Chuntao out.
Chuntao's voice begging for mercy gradually faded away and soon disappeared.
After the people left, Xie Zhuoning started rubbing his temples with a headache.
She woke up in a bad mood because she didn't sleep well last night. Chuntao's quarrel almost made her head explode.
Seeing that she was uncomfortable, Xia Ju hurriedly said, "I can, press your head!"
Unable to resist a smile, Xie Zhuoning teased, "You can do these things too."
Xia Ju explained, "Massage, convenience, murder!"
When people are getting a massage, it is the most relaxing time, but it is also the time when they are most likely to die.
Xie Zhuoning: "..."
Why did her head suddenly stop hurting?
Seeing that she was not happy, Xia Ju immediately took two steps back in panic.
"What are you doing?" Xie Zhuoning looked at her.
"I stink."
Flushing the toilet inevitably contaminates some smell. Although she had washed it in the river several times before coming, she didn't dare to get too close to her own lady when she thought of Chuntao's words.
Xie Zhuoning didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You don't smell. Come over here and give me a head massage."
Heaving a sigh of relief, Xia Ju walked behind her and started massaging her.
You know what, the technique is pretty good, it makes people feel drowsy.
Xie Zhuoning was about to fall asleep when his hand felt icy cold.
She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Xia Ju's clothes. "Why is it wet?"
"It rained last night." Xia Ju confessed honestly.
It rained last night...
In other words, this silly girl stood outside the door all night just to see if she was okay?
Xie Zhuoning felt a little embarrassed, and it took him a long while to speak, "I'm sorry."
I'm sorry that I've been blind to her true love, and I'm also sorry that I dragged her to death in my last life.
"Miss, please, don't, chase me away!" When Xia Ju heard this, she thought her mistress was saying sorry because she wanted to kick her out again. She was so anxious that her stuttering was almost cured.
"I won't chase you away." Xie Zhuoning took Xia Ju's hand and stroked the old knot and wound on her palm. "You will stay by my side from now on. As long as you don't leave, I will never chase you away."
Xia Ju said solemnly: "Forever, I will never leave!"
As long as she can stay with the young lady, she would be willing to die. How could she bear to leave?
Xie Zhuoning asked someone to bring breakfast, forced Xia Ju to eat with her, and then called everyone in the yard over.
"Chun Tao has been transferred to the outer courtyard. Someone has to take charge of the daily affairs of the courtyard..."
There were more than twenty people serving in Fenghua Pavilion, not counting the maids and the gardeners who pruned the flowers.
Xie Zhuoning glanced at everyone's faces one by one and pointed out four people. "Zi Su, Fu Ling, Ban Xia, Yin Xuan, the four of you will be the head maids of Feng Hua Pavilion in the future. Zi Su, you are older and more stable, so you will be in charge of all matters in the courtyard in the future."
The four of them were originally third-class maids, and it was not their turn according to seniority. They did not expect that the eldest lady would directly appoint them.
Several people were flattered and immediately knelt down to express their gratitude, "Thank you, Miss, for the promotion!"
A second-class maid was dissatisfied, "Miss, this is not fair!"
Logically speaking, if a first-class maid is gone, either the old lady or the eldest lady should send someone over, or they should promote one from the second-class maids in the courtyard!
Xie Zhuoning sneered.
fair?
When the Zhenyang Marquis's Mansion was ransacked, Fuling and the other three would rather die than leave. Where were the others at that time?
I'm afraid he has already stolen the treasures in the mansion and ran away!
She raised the corners of her lips, "How about this, I will first demote you second-class maids to third-class maids, and then promote the four of them to second-class maids. Then their promotion from second-class maids to first-class maids will be justified, right?"
