"Why?
Xiao Cui is doing well. She usually serves us well.
She made a mistake.
Why are you so angry? "Xia Lu was also angry. She was angry that Xiao Cui had told her mother-in-law about the Sakura Temple.
Although she felt uncomfortable, even without Xiao Cui, there would still be other girls. She had been with Xiao Cui for so long, so she understood this girl.
Well used,
She could still be a good knife.
If..,
She let the Jia Zhen punish this girl today.
What if her mother-in-law gave another girl down..,
It would take a lot of effort to rope her in again.
They were all her mother-in-law's spies. Why should she do so much useless work. "Besides, didn't you say before? I'll be in charge of the Sakura Temple. You're interfering in these things now. "
"What do you mean?"
The Jia Zhen was suffocating.
"Wait for that girl to wake up.
You can ask her yourself what she did today. "The Jia Zhen didn't want to tell Xia Lu that Hong Xiu had come looking for him. He could only sulk. However, because of this, his sense of crisis became even stronger. Xiao Cui was indeed top-notch among the other girls. This violent girl from the Xia Clan had grown up at the border and probably hadn't seen many good-looking women. Now that she saw Xiao Cui, she naturally thought that she was a beauty. No, he still had to get rid of Xiao Cui and replace her with a few older women to serve her.
When Xia Lu heard the Jia Zhen say this, she understood that the Jia Zhen didn't intend to interfere in Xiao Cui's matters. However, from the Jia Zhen's meaning, it didn't seem to be because Xiao Cui had told her mother-in-law about the Sakura Temple. Then why? Seeing that the Jia Zhen didn't want to talk about it, she could only wait for Xiao Cui to wake up and take the initiative to ask her.
"Are you really angry?" Xia Lu saw that Jia Zhen was panting with anger and took the initiative to change her seat. She sat next to Jia Zhen and very intimately sat next to him.
Jia Zhen glanced at Xia Lu, picked up the book he had just thrown aside, and continued reading. He didn't care about this flattering woman.
"You're really angry. Then let's set the table. Eating when you're angry is the most delicious. You can turn your grief and anger into appetite. It's especially good for eating." Xia Lu hugged Jia Zhen's arm and said sincerely.
"You're so angry that you're full. What appetite do you still have? You're the one who's hungry, yet you're making it sound so dignified. How can you be so thick-skinned?" The Jia Zhen threw the book down. Well, he couldn't read the contents of the book at all.
"Yeah, I'm hungry. Let's go eat. I heard from the kitchen that there's roast pigeon today." Xia Lu's eyes lit up.
"You only know how to eat. Okay, let's set the table." Jia Zhen was in a good mood. He didn't know why, but every time he ate, he always had a good appetite when the violent woman from Xia Clan was next to him.
Xia Lu went out and asked the maids to set the table. After dinner, Jia Zhen was full again. He lay on the bed and let Xia Lu rub his stomach. Xia Lu also told him a story. Regarding this, Xia Lu felt that she didn't find a Husband, but a son.
The next day, Xia Lu came back from her mother-in-law's place. Xiao Fei told her that Xiao Cui had woken up, so she took the initiative to go and see her.
"Grandma." Xiao Cui saw Xia Lu come in and tears flowed down her face.
"Are you feeling better? The doctor said that you had a heatstroke. How is your body now? "Xia Lu asked.
"I'm much better now. Grandpa, Grandpa, he …" Xiao Cui was a little scared. She wanted to know what Grandpa's final punishment was.
Xia Lu was silent for a moment and said, "Grandpa was very angry yesterday. He refused to say anything and only said that he wanted to send you away. Tell me, what did you do to make Grandpa angry? I know that you sent a message to Madam. Madam is concerned about the Sakura Temple and cares about Grandpa. It's normal for her to want to know about Grandpa's situation. However, Grandpa was very angry yesterday. He asked the other servants in the courtyard and they said that you went out for a walk with Grandpa yesterday. When you came back, you were punished by Grandpa to kneel. "Xia Lu looked at Xiao Cui and deliberately made the matter sound more serious.
"I, I …" Xiao Cui looked at Xia Lu and her eyes were a little evasive. She came back to her senses. What she did yesterday was to help Hong Xiu's aunt. Although Grandma was gentle and virtuous, she was still a woman and would always be jealous.
"If you don't tell me, how can I help you plead with Grandpa?" Xia Lu looked at Xiao Cui's hesitation and continued. He thought about how Jia Zhen was so angry yesterday and directly pushed the blame to him. He wasn't afraid that Xiao Cui wouldn't tell the truth.
"I …" Xiao Cui was still a little hesitant.
Seeing Xiao Cui's hesitation, Xia Lu narrowed his eyes. It seemed that Jia Zhen really was angry yesterday for another reason. "Let me know when you want to tell me. I still have things to do." Xia Lu sighed and pretended to leave helplessly. Xiao Cui saw this and immediately panicked. She quickly said, "Grandma."
"Hmm?" Xia Lu pretended to look at Xiao Cui in confusion.
"Please don't be angry, Grandma. I ate lard yesterday and was blinded by it. I didn't do it on purpose." Xiao Cui was really scared. She told Grandma everything that happened yesterday. She wanted to be lazy because the wheelchair was too heavy and left Jia Zhen in the garden. Then, she went with Bi Yan to get the sleeping clothes that Hong Xiu's aunt had made for Jia Zhen. When she came back, she was punished.
Xia Lu looked at Xiao Cui with a complicated expression. Miss, it's fine if you're always opportunistic, but you actually thought that the chair was too heavy and wanted to be lazy. You directly left your master behind and ran away by yourself. You're really ridiculous. If it were the modern world where everyone was equal, she wouldn't have dared to make the decision and leave her alone in the garden when she was with her boss. However, Xia Lu completely understood why Xiao Cui was hesitant just now. Xiao Cui was afraid that she would misunderstand. After all, she was Hong Xiu's aunt's servant.
"Okay, I know. I'll plead for mercy for you. In the end, it's up to me," Xia Lu said.
"Thank you, Grandma." Xiao Cui thanked her sincerely. As long as her master let her go this time, she would definitely do anything for her grandma. She would never betray her grandma because she was lazy again.
"Okay, have a good rest," Xia Lu said, then got up and left Xiao Cui's courtyard.
Xia Lu wasn't really angry about Xiao Cui's outrageous behavior. After learning from novels that Jia family servants did even more ridiculous things, she was quite open-minded about Xiao Cui's mistake. Of course, this was also because she wasn't left alone in the garden because her leg was broken.
"You went to see that girl?" Jia Zhen looked at Xia Lu and was dissatisfied. This woman came back, but she didn't come to see him directly. Instead, she went to see Xiao Cui. As expected, that girl couldn't stay.
"Yeah, you were so angry yesterday. You punished her to kneel for so long. She couldn't get out of bed, so I had to go and see her. She's resting well. She should be able to get out of bed in a few days and serve you," Xia Lu said.
Jia Zhen pursed his lips and was a little dissatisfied. Wasn't this woman too nice to that girl?
"By the way, where's your chair? Madam sent it over. "Xia Lu was very curious. Xiao Cui said that the chair was very heavy and she couldn't push it. Xia Lu was interested.
"Ask Bi Yun." Jia Zhen sulked.
Xia Lu walked out of the bedroom and went to look for Bi Yun. Bi Yun pushed the wheelchair out.
Xia Lu observed the wheelchair carefully. The workmanship was very exquisite, but no matter how exquisite it was, it couldn't hide the fact that this wheelchair didn't have tires. Xia Lu took the wheelchair from Bi Yun and pushed it gently. Yes, the workmanship was exquisite, and the wood used was also solid wood. This also caused the chair to be very heavy. Xia Lu asked Bi Yun to sit on it. She pushed it a little. Yes, she finally understood why Xiao Cui was lazy. If it were her, she would also want to be lazy.
After observing the wheelchair, Xia Lu remembered that the carriages in this world didn't seem to have tires. She seemed to have thought of an excellent way to get rich. After thinking about it, Xia Lu was stunned. She didn't study chemistry. She knew that the raw material of tires was rubber tree, but she didn't know how to make it.
Xia Lu sighed. She should continue to develop her makeup business and leave the other things to others. Xia Lu returned to the bedroom and looked at Jia Zhen. She said, "The chair feels pretty good, but it's a little heavy. It's no wonder that Xiao Cui wants to be lazy. Why didn't you bring a few more people with you when you went to the garden?"
"What did she say to you?" Jia Zhen asked unhappily.
Xia Lu told Jia Zhen what Xiao Cui said.
"Pfft, she's so smart. She even got herself out of it. As soon as she left, Hong Xiu appeared in front of me and disgusted me …" Jia Zhen told Xia Lu what happened after Hong Xiu came out. If he was just left in the garden, he wouldn't be so angry. Although there weren't many people in the garden at that time, it wasn't as if there weren't any servants passing by to do something. He could just ask one of the servants to push him back. However, Xiao Cui helped Hong Xiu to plot against him. This was something he couldn't tolerate.
"Really?" Xia Lu frowned. Xiao Cui didn't say that she helped Hong Xiu just now.
"So, don't always think that the servants around you are good people. Even the servants who have been with you since you were young can betray you." Jia Zhen pursed her lips. She thought of something unpleasant and felt a little unhappy.
Xia Lu raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect Jia Zhen to have such awareness. However, it felt a little strange to be taught a lesson by a playboy like Jia Zhen. "You're really something. I'll be careful in the future."
"Good that you know." Jia Zhen was proud. Sure enough, although this woman was violent, she still depended on him at critical moments.
"By the way, where's the sleeping clothes that Hong Xiu's concubine sewn for you? Since you don't want it, then give it to me. It just so happens that I feel that the sleeping clothes I'm wearing now are a bit tight. "Xia Lu expressed that even if you don't want it, don't waste it. I don't mind wearing your clothes. It's obvious that the fabric and stitching of the sleeping clothes that Concubine Hongxiu sewed for Jia Zhen must be very good.
