Ruyi’s anger was gone, what a bright and beautiful red cloud, which turned into a bleak cloud of sorrow.
But, anger was useless at this time. The Marquis of the East Mansion was determined to win Hongxia. He tried his best tonight and threatened “At the time you were my Marquis before leaving, which was terrifying.
Hongxia cannot return to the East Mansion, this is a sheep entering the tiger’s mouth. But if she doesn’t go back, her family is in the East Mansion.
Ruyi said, “Your mother is a servant in the mansion. Your father is the accountant. Your mother is a manager in the East Mansion. Your younger brother Hongdou is a servant and knows some martial arts. Now he has gone to Jiangnan to buy land and houses… Hongxia, for the sake of the present, only the second lady can protect you and your family.”
“The second lady married to Nanjing, just like the eldest lady, she has to accompany the two families. Even if your family is one family, you should treat it as a dowry maid. In this way, your whole family can escape from the clutches of the Marquis.”
Hongxia choked and said, “The Marquis is the head of the family. If he doesn’t nod, we can’t do anything.”
Ruyi snorted coldly, “Women can still speak in the inner house. The second lady insists on your family. Can the Marquis robbing his daughter of his daughter? Now I am the pen of my ancestor, and I can speak in front of my ancestors. Even if the Marquis disagrees, I will find a way to persuade the ancestors. The ancestor nods. What can the Marquis marquis? “
“Also, your uncle and aunt are not vegetarians. Lai Lu has been serving in the mansion for so many years and have been loyal. Others cannot find out his faults. Not to mention your aunt, Lai Mei, has supported her.”
Hongxia sighed, “After that being said, aunties and aunts are also slaves after all, and they will implicate them if they say it. Besides, I am a girl, and I can’t say something.”
At this point, Hongxia slapped herself in the face with annoyed! He even scolded himself: “Why are you so useless! You are not so clever and very good at talking? You have never lost a fight with others. Why do you become a mute when you hit your head? You are such a useless thing!”
Ruyi quickly pressed Hongxia’s hand and did not let her torture herself. “It’s not your fault! The disgusting thing happened to you, it’s not you disgusting, it’s the old lemon. If you condemn yourself and torture yourself like this, the old lemon cannot break the oily skin! This world has never been fair. The old lemon relies on his title and is arrogant and treats the young and beautiful girl like prey. We can’t fight him now, so we can find a way to leave this mansion first.”
Hongxia cried, “The sky has no eyes! Why didn’t a thunder strike this old guy to death! Don’t say that he touched me, even looking at me, I felt dirty. I took a bath every day, even when it was cool in autumn, and I would wash my eyes every day. The dreams were full of old guy’s colored eyes!”
“Why! The old guy tasted good and drank and slept all day, but what did I do?”I did nothing wrong, but I didn’t want to eat and even had nightmares when I went to bed.”
“Just because I was a child and a slave, I had to let my mercy. I also have dignity! Why are you trampled by him! I don’t accept it! “
Listening to Hongxia’s blood and tears, Ruyi was deeply touched and couldn’t help crying. Their families were born as slaves, and they were not the ones they could choose.
In the past five years in the Summer Palace, she soared and promoted to the next level, and made a lot of money. If she saved some money, it would be enough for her and Ruyi’s mother to eat for the rest of her life. She climbed up with her good sisters in the Summer Palace to enjoy the moon, draw flowers and make wine, like a paradise, everything seemed so beautiful – until today Hongxia said, “I am a family and a slave, so I have to let her do it at my mercy?”
Yes, according to the law, we slaves are the objects of our masters. The family’s wealth and life are in the hands of our masters. They hold their bodies and ask us to go east, but we can’t go west.
A thought flashed through Ruyi’s mind: In this life, I don’t want to be a slave…
Ruyi hugged Hongxia tightly, letting her cry, and venting fear and anger that had been holding it in for a long time until Hongxia was exhausted.
Ruyi said, “You will rest here with me tonight. I told people outside that you are drunk and you are not feeling well, so you should pretend to be sick first. I will go to the East Mansion Conference Hall in person to ask for leave from Miss II. At that time, I will talk to Miss II about your family being a companion. I’ll talk to her about those things you can’t say. “
“The second lady’s character, based on her insistence on implementing the method of frugality and repaying the loan from the West Mansion, did not even give her the face of the Marquis and the Marquis. She is a reliable person and can be discussed. Besides, in the past year and a half, the second lady has a account in mind how many things you have done for Miss II and how many people you offended. “
Hongxia hurriedly said, “But if you go to find the second lady with such a big fanfare, the old guy will definitely suspect that you were the ones who interfered with it.” “
Ruyi said, “I’m not afraid. I’m from Xifu and work in the Summer Palace. Now, in addition to the errands of Ziyunxuan, I also take care of my ancestors’ letters. Uncle Go goes out to sea to make money for Xifu, and auspicious is a seventh-rank military officer… The old man can’t reach his hand. “
Ruyi helped Hongxia to rest in her house. When the woman who was on the night at night patrolled Cheng’en Pavilion late at night, Ruyi deliberately went out and gave the women who were on the night. “I’m sorry to make a bowl of sobering soup. Hongxia and I drank with me. She got drunk and said that she was having a headache. “
The women at night did as they did, and came over with sobering soup. Ruyi gave another handful of money to reward, “Thank you mom. “
Of course, the sober soup was poured. The next morning, Ruyi greeted Chan’s mother, “Hongxia drank with me yesterday and vomited. I kept her overnight. Today she felt uncomfortable and felt dizzy when she got up. I asked her to make some millet porridge for her to nourish her stomach and intestines.Keep lying down, I went to the East Mansion to help her take a day off. “
Ruyi went down the mountain. At this time, the little maids in the kitchen carried breakfast to Songhetang and other directions. Ruyi called them, “You can help me go to Ziyunxuan to send a message to Okra, saying that I have something to do when I go to the East Mansion. Before I go back, Okra will have to deal with Ziyunxuan’s affairs. Just follow the old rules. If there is anything that really cannot make a decision, please wait for me to come back first. ”
After explaining the matter, Ruyi hurried out of the Summer Palace and headed straight to the East Mansion Conference Hall.
