"In a big family, who doesn't want to climb up? To put it bluntly, this servant believes that I'm quite capable. Although I can't say that I'm very talented, but with the Lu family's status, even if they raised a maidservant, she would still be more honorable than a young lady from an ordinary small family.
"But I was assigned to a servant. When the young master chose me, he didn't discuss with me and directly ordered me. I didn't want to, but I didn't dare to resist. If Young Master Wan arranged a marriage for a servant, he would definitely ask for their opinion. But Young Master Lu didn't. "
Fu Xue sobbed, as if the young master of the Lu family had killed her parents.
Next door, Lu Xi, who managed to get to the wooden door, was shocked and angry.
How could this be? How could she talk nonsense behind the young master's back?
Before the young master arranged the marriage for them, he clearly knew that he and Fu Xue were close in private. He asked for their opinion before arranging the marriage for them. Fu Xue was bought by a human trafficker, and the young master also asked him to help find her family. She didn't have any relatives in her family, and he even gave her only uncle's family ten taels of silver.
Such a big favor, but Fu Xue didn't know how to be grateful and slandered the young master behind his back!
When Pang Xiao heard Fu Xue's words, he knew that she was talking nonsense. He was also a servant, and the young master of the Lu family was not a fool. How could he arrange a marriage without asking for the servant's opinion?
Pang Xiao echoed, "How could this be?"
"That's right. I was born in a humble family, so I didn't have the right to speak. In fact, the young master may not know, but Madam once said that she would make me a servant of the young master. I've served the young master for many years like the other maids. Although I've never served the young master, many people outside think so. They all think I'm the young master's servant, but the young master arranged the marriage for me to his servant. How could I show my face? "
When Fu Xue thought of those things, she was so aggrieved that she shed tears. This time, she really cried.
Pang Xiao said, "Ah, I didn't expect Fu Xue to be a poor person. Since you're worthy of being Young Master Lu's concubine, how did you end up being sold? "
"I …" Fu Xue was speechless. She rolled her eyes and said, "I wasn't convinced, so I went to explain it to the young master. Who knew that the ground was slippery that day, and I accidentally fell and fell on the young master's body. The young master said that I was a loose woman who deliberately seduced him.
"However, the maidservant who worked with me falsely accused me, saying that I had secretly seduced the Head Steward's son. In a fit of anger, I wanted to cut my hair, but the Eldest Young Master said, 'You don't need to cut your hair. You're such a lowly person, you're not worthy of Lu Xi. You should be with those wild men.' After that, he sent me to the Cherishing Fragrance Pavilion. Wu wu wu! "
Fu Xue cried and leaned on Pang Xiao weakly.
Pang Xiao did not dodge or move.
Fu Xue was overjoyed. She hugged Pang Xiao's arm and cried.
Next door, Lu Xi was stunned.
He was not a fool. These days, he saw the young master's hesitant expression when he saw him. He also heard Fu Xue crying in front of him and distorting the truth just now. And listening to the conversation outside, Fu Xue was obviously flattering Young Master Wan …
The Eldest Young Master was right, this was a fickle woman!
She obviously looked down on him because he was a servant, but she seduced him. How stupid was he to be seduced by her? He even resented the young master for selling his fiancée!
When he was living on the streets, it was the young master who picked him up. He fed him, clothed him, and even took him to study with him. He promoted him to be a servant and treated him as a confidant. In private, he trusted him more than his own brother.
When his fiancée seduced the young master, the young master couldn't directly say it in front of her. Was it to save his face?
Lu Xi's tears burst out of her eyes, and she began to sob.
Pang Xiao heard the crying next door and pushed Fu Xue away impatiently.
He didn't mind adding more wood to the fire.
"Fu Xue, when you went to the young master to reason with him, did you also lean on a man and cry like this, huh?"
Fu Xue stared blankly at Pang Xiao with tears on her pink cheeks.
Pang Xiao said, "I just bought you and you can slander your former master in front of me. You even threw yourself at me. But after a little test, you gave yourself away. I've seen a lot of women like you who want to climb up the ladder. Go down. You don't need to serve here. "
Fu Xue stared blankly at the handsome man in front of her, but found that this person had a pair of sharp eyes, as if he could see straight into her heart.
Why did she think that the person in front of her was an idiot? This person had been testing her all along!
Fu Xue took two steps back. She wanted to argue but didn't dare to. She just bowed out of instinct and ran away.
Pang Xiao leaned against the armrest of the armchair. He covered his mouth and yawned in boredom. Then he looked back at the cubicle.
The suppressed crying was more obvious.
He still had some sympathy for Lu Xi. If it was him, the woman he loved would act one way in front of him and another behind his back. She seduced him on the surface but disliked him on the inside. She even used him. He would definitely kill her.
Fortunately, his Sister Yi was loyal to him and never made him sad. Instead, he was the one who hurt her every time.
When Pang Xiao thought of Qin Yining, his heart was full of softness and love. He thought of the way she cooperated with him just now, which was something he would never see on a normal day. He missed her so much that he felt like a cat was scratching his heart.
Pang Xiao didn't care about Lu Xi who was crying alone. He strode back to the bedroom to find Qin Yining.
At this time, Qin Yining was drawing flowers with Bing Tang and Ji Yun. He heard from Ji Yun that she took Fu Xue out.
"That Fu Xue's character is really unreliable. She's very good at talking and is good at finding out information. Unfortunately, she thinks she's smart and always treats others as fools. Other than flattering people, she doesn't have any other tricks to deceive people. She's also very greedy. She wants to try everything she sees. She wants to buy more of everything to bring back. "
Ji Yun shook her head and said, "The Lu family actually has such a servant girl. It seems like a hundred different kinds of people can be raised from the same rice."
Bing Tang clicked his tongue and said, "With such a character, maybe the young master didn't wrong her after selling her."
Pang Xiao walked to the door and happened to hear this. He smiled and said, "You're right. This person wasn't wronged."
"Master." Bing Tang and Ji Yun both stood up and bowed.
Qin Yining raised his head and smiled. "How is it? What did you find out?"
"There's nothing strange. Just like what we guessed before, in order to climb up the social ladder, she seduced the young master's manservant and the head housekeeper's son. She then went back to flatter the young master. In the end, Young Master Lu didn't fall for her tricks. He saw through her nature and sold her.
"I think Young Master Lu was also angry. He kindly chose a wife for his close aide, but it turned out to be such a person. He couldn't directly tell his brother that his fiancée came to seduce him."
Qin Yining shook his head and couldn't help but sigh.
"She's so young. Of all the things she could do, she just had to take things too hard. If there's a flaw in her character, wouldn't her life be ruined? "
"That's right." Pang Xiao also said, "As a person, the most important thing is one's character and bottom line. If one's character is good, there might be a time when there's a light at the end of the tunnel. If one does something immoral, there will be a day when one's success will be reversed. "
Qin Yining said, "Let's teach Brother Zhao and Brother Han. In the future, we have to prioritize character. They don't have to have any talent, but they must be good people. In the future, when there's an opportunity, let my father teach the two children. I don't expect them to pass the imperial examinations in the future, but they must be upright and upright. "
Pang Xiao nodded in agreement. "Father-in-law has outstanding talent and great wisdom. I'll teach the children how to arrange troops. In the future, I'll let Mutou teach the children martial arts. Then, I'll ask Father-in-law to come out and teach them literature and how to conduct themselves. Hey, do you think our children won't become pillars when they grow up?"
Qin Yining narrowed his eyes and smiled. "Of course it's good to let Young Master Mu teach them. But there's one thing. Don't let Tian Jizi get close to my son, lest she lead him astray."
Pang Xiao burst out in laughter.
Tian Jizi was still locked up at this time. It was unknown if she had remembered this lesson.
As the two chatted, the topic naturally turned to their own home. Bing Tang and Ji Yun, who were guarding the door, couldn't help but laugh. When Wang Fei and Wang Ye were together, it was like the two of them had become children.
Qin Yining thought and said, "I see that the eldest young master of the Lu Family is very concerned about his attendant. Maybe he'll come to find him later. We should also make preparations in advance. "
"Don't worry. I've already given the order. I will protect you when the time comes."
Qin Yining smiled and nodded. "I know. Of course it's the safest to be with you."
Her eyes curved into crescents because of her smile. When she looked at him, she was so gentle that it was like his heart was soaked in a hot spring.
After experiencing so many hardships and suffering so much, she still trusted him.
Pang Xiao was moved and grateful. He couldn't help but hold her tightly in his arms and kiss her forehead sincerely.
He couldn't say such mushy words. But he couldn't help murmuring "I'm so lucky to have you" repeatedly in his heart.
Qin Yining smiled and hugged Pang Xiao's waist. "Me too. I'm so lucky to have you. "
The two quietly hugged each other.
Even Ji Yun and Bing Tang in front of the door didn't dare to breathe loudly for fear of disturbing this peaceful scene.
Who knew that at this time, there was a burst of hurried footsteps on the deck.
Huzi ran in with large strides and said loudly, "Young master, it's not good. Someone is causing trouble below!"
Pang Xiao and Qin Yining suddenly separated. They looked at each other and said in a low voice at the same time, "They're here."
Pang Xiao pulled Qin Yining up and led the others onto the deck.
At this time, the curtain of night had fallen. Lanterns were hung on the ship and the lake reflected colorful lights.
