The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down
Chapter 144 Being Jealous
Pei Shuo called all of them ladies in a sweet voice, but he didn't dare to be too blatant. He just asked politely if there were other sisters in this family who wanted to eat rice candy. If there were many, he would get more next time.
The girls thought he wanted to do more business with the Marquis' Mansion, and shouted, "Your rice candy tastes good. Our Pingxi Marquis' Mansion is large and has many people, but I don't know whether they like it. Why don't you come back in a few days? I'll see if the other sisters like it and tell you."
Seeing how enthusiastic and generous the round-faced girl was, Pei Shuo gave her a bag of rice candy as a gift, hoping that she could help him introduce business.
The little girl was very happy to see him coming. She took the rice candy without hesitation and turned around and went in.
Pei Shuo didn't see his elder sister and felt a little disappointed, but he also knew that this matter could not be rushed, so he carried his load and left Pingxi Marquis Mansion.
One day, Pei Yi was sitting in the house embroidering. As she was embroidering, she felt her eyelids twitching, as if something was about to happen. She felt very anxious and uneasy.
She accidentally pricked her finger and quickly put her index finger into her mouth to stop the bleeding.
The taste of blood spread in her mouth, and she couldn't help but frown.
More than half a month had passed since she was brought to the Pingxi Marquis' Mansion.
She still feels dazed, as if it were all a dream.
It seemed like yesterday she was Madam Pei, the star of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, the apple of his eye, and all the princes in the capital were vying to marry her. But in the blink of an eye, her house was ransacked.
His younger brother was exiled, his mother died trying to save them, and his father's whereabouts are unknown.
She was dragged away and sold to that dirty place. She was unwilling to give in and tried hard to escape, but those people kept chasing her.
Finally she was caught and put on a ship.
The people on the boat spoke very viciously. Pei Yi felt that if he followed them to their destination, he would probably die, so he wanted to jump off the boat and escape when the boat docked.
But that day, they encountered pirates again.
When Pei Yi heard someone shouting for help, he felt sorry for them and ran to save them.
She also didn't remember who she saved, and later fainted from injuries sustained while fighting the robbers.
When she woke up from her daze, she found herself on a strange large ship. The old woman who took care of her said that she had saved their princess, so the princess bought her. From then on, she was a member of the Pingxi Marquis's Mansion and must be loyal to the princess.
Only then did Pei Yi realize that he had been taken to Beichen.
Now that he had come to the Pingxi Marquis's Mansion in a daze, Pei Yi finally recovered from his injuries and was thinking about how to leave smoothly. In order to protect himself, Pei Yi pretended to have amnesia and didn't remember who he was.
When the nanny saw that she was seriously injured and indeed had a head injury, she believed it.
The nanny told Pei Yi that she was a criminal slave. If she hadn't saved Princess Yanghe, she would have been sold to a dirty place.
She also said that this was her fortune and that she should be grateful.
Pei Yi immediately understood that since he was born a criminal slave and was not from Beichen, it would be extremely difficult to redeem himself and settle down there.
But no matter how difficult it is, she has to find a way to leave.
She wants to survive and find her brother.
Her mother is dead, her father is missing, and her younger brother is her most important relative.
His younger brother might be exiled to the place where his father disappeared, but Pei Yi was determined to return to Dazhou.
Just as I was thinking, the curtain of the side room was opened, and two maids came in and said coldly, "Young lady, you are in the mood to embroider here."
Pei Yi was a little confused: "This is the work that Madam Han asked me to do. What do you two maids want me to do?"
The two maids sneered, "My cousin said she lost a pearl necklace. You were the only one who went to her yard yesterday. Please come with us, young lady."
Pei Yi said calmly, "Are you two maids mistaken? Although I have been to my cousin's yard, I only stood at the door for a while. Madam asked me to deliver something, but I did not go in. What does my cousin's lost pearl necklace have to do with me?"
"Is it related to you? Miss Purple will know when she goes there. Why can't Miss Purple invite you?"
Pei Yi paused, knowing that the two had ulterior motives. But the situation was not right at the moment, and she did not want to cause a scene.
Princess Yanghe kept her because she saved her life and gave her the name Ziyi. After she came back, she settled her in her own courtyard.
Because she was still injured, Mother Han would not assign any help to her.
When her injuries were mostly healed, when others asked her what she could do, Pei Yi shook her head and said that she had lost her memory and didn't know what she could do.
The maids then let her try doing some chores, and finally found that she was good at embroidery, so they let her work in the needlework room, and she was paid the monthly salary of a first-class maid.
Yesterday, Princess Yanghe received some silk flowers from the palace and asked someone to deliver them to her cousin in the mansion.
This cousin is not some poor beggar, she is the youngest daughter of Prince Anping. In two years, Prince Anping will be able to apply for the title of Princess for her.
A pearl necklace lost by such a distinguished guest must be of great importance.
The little princess is making a lot of noise, so shouldn't the people in the mansion be busy trying to find something for her?
But yesterday Pei Yi really just handed something at the door and didn't go in at all. He never thought that this trouble would fall on him.
She thought there might be some misunderstanding, so she followed the nanny out calmly.
Before she even left the yard, she saw the little princess looking at her with disdain with her chin raised.
That look made him feel very uncomfortable, but since his family was broken up, Pei Yi had seen even more disgusting and uncomfortable looks, so he could bear it.
"How dare you! You don't even kneel when you see the princess." A maid scolded harshly.
Pei Yi heard this and knelt down with his knees bent. "Greetings to the princess."
Li Xia looked her up and down and said coldly, "Are you the criminal slave who saved my aunt?"
Pei Yi paused, then nodded, "Yes, I am."
Pei Yi was not without grievances after being reduced from a phoenix to a slave. But she was thinking about her brother and father, and she also remembered that she was the daughter of a military commander, so she would not rush to seek death when she encountered difficulties.
She remembered her father's teachings that one should have a strong character and learn to be patient and accumulate strength when faced with desperate situations so that one day one can turn defeat into victory and find a way to survive.
Things that she didn't care about before are now the beliefs that support her to live.
Even though she called herself a slave, she kept her back straight.
But this kind of attitude, in Li Xia's view, is a provocation, "Damn bitch, who are you trying to show off to?"
As he spoke, the tea bowl in his hand came towards him. Pei Yi dodged instinctively, but was scalded on the arm by the tea.
She endured the pain and asked carefully: "I don't know what I did wrong to offend my cousin. I apologize to my cousin."
