Three families hire each other, the mistress of the marquisate accidentally offends the treacherous

Qifeng Villa.

Jiang Qingyue was drinking soup. Today she made black chicken soup with perilla, which was very delicious.

Finally, he took a sip of the soup and put down his bowl and chopsticks.

Lu Huan seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and in the end said nothing.

Jiang Qingyue spoke first:

"Let her go back. I won't see her again."

Lu Huan nodded, and did not go either. Instead, she told Zi Su a few words and asked her to talk to Bai Wei.

Zi Su understood and went to the door, leaving only Jiang Qingyue and Lu Huan in the yard.

Jiang Qingyue looked at Lu Huan and asked, "Do you think I am heartless? After all, she was my maid before. Now she is in trouble, I should help her at least."

Lu Huan shook her head: "I have never thought so. Young lady has always been methodical in her work and treats servants very well. If Bai Wei is really a good person, Young lady will definitely not leave her alone.

"Although I don't know why the young lady did this, I know that Bai Wei must have done something unforgivable."

Jiang Qingyue looked at her and replied, "Yes."

Lu Huan was shocked, but at the same time she understood in her heart: it was indeed the case.

Lu Huan nodded: "I understand. Next time she comes, I will know how to deal with her."

Outside the gate of Qifeng Villa, Bai Wei knelt straight.

She was really desperate and could only place her hopes on Jiang Qingyue.

She knew that Jiang Qingyue was soft-hearted and nostalgic, and as long as she came to her for help, she would definitely help her.

It might be difficult to keep it with her, but she still wanted to take a chance, just in case.

If that doesn't work, it's still possible for her to stay in the mansion and work as a maid.

Jiang Qingyue is a very good master.

In her current situation, even if she could be a servant beside Jiang Qingyue, it would be better for her to go to that place where the family had nothing.

If Xue Feimu was still fine, she would be willing to stay. No matter what, Xue Feimu would remember their sharing of hardships and treat her better. Besides, she would have children to accompany her and there was hope.

If the elders were kind, she would be willing to stay. She was already in this state and could not go anywhere else. She could find a job, adopt a child, and with the help of the elders, she could get by.

Or maybe they have money, and she only needs to prepare three meals a day, which is better than being a servant. If she meets a bad master, it will be difficult. In this way, she can persist.

But the Xue family now has no money, no people, and the elders are not good. She has no reason to stay.

She came to Jiang Qingyue for help. The best outcome was that Jiang Qingyue would keep her. She would stay with Jiang Qingyue. No matter what Jiang Qingyue did, he would never treat his subordinates unfairly, and she would also have a place to settle down.

At worst, even if Jiang Qingyue didn't want to keep her, she could still give her some money to solve her urgent needs, so she came out of the old house early in the morning and knelt here.

She bet that Jiang Qingyue would be soft-hearted, and she would definitely get some benefits from Jiang Qingyue.

She knelt for a long time, but there was no sound from inside, and she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

But now that we are here, we cannot return empty-handed.

He kept encouraging himself in his heart: If Jiang Qingyue was angry, he would kneel here and let her calm down, then there was a high chance that he would be able to stay.

As long as she can stay, she will have another chance in the future.

Although her face was ruined, she had seen those half-face masks and it actually had little impact after putting them on. Jiang Qingyue would eventually get married and with her own means, she could always gain something for herself.

A few days ago, Xue Feimu still came to her yard even though she was in this situation, and was very satisfied with her.

She is very confident about this.

Bai Wei knelt down and waited patiently. When she felt she could not hold on any longer, the gate of the villa finally opened.

She was filled with joy and looked up. When she saw that it was Zi Su who came, she frowned slightly and had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Please go back, Aunt Bai. My young lady is not available to see you."

Bai Wei's expression suddenly changed: "How is it possible? How could it be? Was there no communication at all? Madam would definitely not refuse to see me."

"What Madam? There are only young ladies in my family, no Madam."

Bai Wei was stunned. She only remembered that she was the wife of the Marquis, but forgot that she was a young lady in the past.

She smiled awkwardly, "You guys didn't pass the message, right? Please pass the message. The young lady will definitely come to see me. She will definitely not ignore our friendship and will definitely not leave me to die."

Zi Su was a little annoyed, "You don't understand what people say or what? The lady has already said that she won't see you."

Bai Wei was stunned, all her hopes were here.

She never expected that Jiang Qingyue would not even see her. How could this be possible? This was not the result she wanted.

"No, she would never be so cruel. She once said that she would find a good family for me and buy me a dowry, so that I could marry off with honor. It's impossible that she doesn't even want to see me now. You must have lied to me."

When Zi Su heard these words, she didn't like her very much, but for Lu Huan's sake, she added one more sentence:

"Think carefully about what you have done. The young lady is a very good person. Since she doesn't want to see you, it must be that you have done something that angered the heaven and the people."

Bai Wei was stunned: What did I do?

Jiang Qingyue agreed to marry the prince. It was she who asked and I said yes. She also gave me many opportunities.

Although the old lady asked her to watch Jiang Qingyue and report any news to her, she did do it, but it was just some trivial matters such as three meals a day. There was nothing else. Was it just because of this?

Is it because she reported some trivial matters of food, clothing, housing and transportation to the old lady that Jiang Qingyue treated her like this? It's not fair, it's not fair.

As a daughter-in-law, Jiang Qingyue's food, clothing and daily expenses are not important. How can she hate her for this?

Zi Su heard her mumbling and spat.

"You think this is a small matter, don't you know this is called betrayal?

"Sister Lu Huan would never do such a thing, and I would never do it either, but you did it. It's a pity that the young lady is so kind to you, you are an ungrateful person.

"You even think this is a small matter. If you really gain power, who knows what other things you will do that will anger the heavens and the people.

"You clearly did something wrong, but you still have the audacity to ask why others treat you like this. You still think it's unfair. You still think that others are making a fuss over such a small matter. Do you have any shame? Do you think that you betrayed your master, and your master should be grateful to you?

"You are a person who betrayed your master, and you still come to ask for help from your master. If your master doesn't help you, you blame him. You have no sense of shame at all.

"It's a good thing that the young lady doesn't see you. If I really had the heart to see you, I would have reminded her to be careful. Go back and don't come again."

Bai Wei didn't dare to accept this result and shook her head desperately:

"No, no, no, I won't. Even if I did something wrong, the lady would give me a chance to make amends, just like before. She said that it's impossible for people not to make mistakes, but as long as they know their mistakes and can correct them, it's fine. Even, even if I really did something wrong, she should give me a chance. How can she just leave it alone?"

"Bah, you are so embarrassed when you say that. I feel so embarrassed just listening to it. Should I do that? Who should help you? Do you really think you are a piece of cake if someone treats you well? It is not right for anyone to help you.

"Miss helping you is a favor, and not helping you is my duty, and you are taking advantage of me. Does Miss owe you anything?

"You don't feel guilty when you say such things. Ask yourself, when you were with the young lady, did she ever treat you badly?

"You took advantage of the young lady's kindness and said such shameless words. I feel sorry for the young lady.

"For a person like you, no matter how good others are to you, you will not be grateful. Once greater benefits appear, you will betray your master without hesitation.

"Before, I didn't quite understand why the young lady didn't want to see you even though you've been with her for so long. Now I completely understand.

"You are not only an ungrateful person, you are also a poisonous snake. A selfish person will always only think about himself.

"Don't come here again. Next time I see you, I really won't report it. You are not a good person."

After saying this, Zi Su left without looking back.

Originally she felt that Bai Wei was a bit pitiful, but now she felt that Bai Wei deserved it.

Such a person would be a nuisance if kept around.

Bai Wei watched the gate of the villa open and close, and ran after it like crazy, banging on the door.

She cried loudly, "No, no, I can't close the door. If she doesn't take care of me, no one will take care of me..."

The door opened, Xiao Wu came out, grabbed Bai Wei's arm and threw her out:

"I don't hit women, but if you continue to take advantage of your kindness and start yelling and threatening people here, I don't mind making an exception for you."

Bai Wei was so frightened that her face turned pale. She looked at the door being closed and complained in her heart.

Jiang Qingyue made such a fuss about such a small matter.

She thought that after serving Jiang Qingyue for so many years, she knew her well enough, but now she suddenly realized that she didn't understand her at all. Was she wrong? Was she seeing things wrong?

Bai Wei looked at the door of the villa, clenched her fists tightly, and wanted to go forward and knock, but she didn't dare, and finally left unwillingly.

But she did not return to the Xue family's old house. She still had some money hidden on her. It would be better to live her own life than to use it to fill the Xue family's bottomless pit.

The Xue family’s old house at this time.

When the old lady woke up from her sleep, she still hadn't seen Bai Wei. She knew that this person had left and would never come back.

He cursed at Bai Wei harshly.

Bai Wei is gone, but she still has to live her life.

Now, with the old house in such a state, it was impossible for her to clean it up.

Xue Feimu can't do anything now, and Sun is even less able to do so.

I can only hire a helper first.

It's just that this person...

The old lady stood in front of the old house and wanted to ask the neighbors.

But she was not familiar with the person and it was difficult for her to speak. Finally, she met someone who spoke first and then she asked.

Naturally, that lady had also heard about what happened at the Xue Mansion, and she looked at the old lady with disdain.

"I can do this. We are rough men who do this kind of work. Leave it to us and we guarantee that we can do it properly. Look at this house now, there is dust and cobwebs, firewood, pots and pans, and nothing else. This has to be done by people. You are noble people, so how can you do these things? It is most appropriate to leave it to us."

When the old lady heard her say this, she asked cautiously, "How much does it cost?"

The woman said, "We are from the same village, so I will accept ten taels of silver from you, my neighbor."

"Ten taels of silver, why don't you go and rob it."

In the past, the monthly salary of the concubine in the mansion was only five taels, but now she asked for ten taels.

"What the old lady said is not right. They are all jobs, but there are different types of jobs. Serving the young ladies and ladies in the mansion is naturally easy, but this is dirty and tiring work. This is the redevelopment of the mansion. No one has lived here for so many years. It will take a lot of time and effort to clean it up.

"And look, it's still leaking. Do you need to re-lay the tiles? Otherwise, water will drip down from above your head when you sleep at night, and both you and your quilt will be submerged in water as soon as you get up."

As soon as she said this, the old lady immediately thought of the rain last night and the bed was still wet. It was just that she was too tired in the past two days and didn't care too much and could only make do with it.

She is used to a life of luxury and doesn't feel when she is tired, but when someone says it out loud, she feels uncomfortable everywhere.

He immediately said, "Okay, you clean up these places. Make sure they are spotless, suitable for living, watertight, and suitable for cooking and living..."

"Everything else is easy to say, but I'm afraid I can't do your job of keeping it spotless. This kind of house has the most dust, and we can only guarantee that the places for daily life are clean, but for keeping it spotless, old lady, please ask someone else. I can tell you that I'm the only one who dares to take on your job, and everyone else will have to avoid it."

The old lady finally reacted.

Indeed, she had actually been standing there for quite a long time. Others who saw her took a detour and ran away from her. She couldn't even speak. She originally thought that they were frightened by her noble aura, but it turned out that...

There have been so many things happening in the Marquis' Mansion these days, I think those things have already been spread...

"It's alright, as long as it's clean and leak-proof, and can be used for cooking, living, and life."

"Oh, that's right. In that case, give me the money first."

"How can you pay first? You should pay after the work is done."

"That won't work. I don't care what other people's rules are, but here I have to pay first."

"What if I give you the money and you run away?"

“Oh, old lady, you have really been a noble for a long time.

"We are rough people, and what we value is honesty. My home is next door to yours, where else can I run to? I can run away, but I can't run away from the temple. Since I promised you, I will help you do it."

"No, I don't know you well. If you are not from here, you can ask the neighbors to come over as witnesses. If they can prove that you live next door to me, I will give you the money in front of everyone. I will feel relieved after we talk about the matter."

"Okay, okay, you nobles just have so many rules." The lady immediately shouted a few times in a loud voice, attracting the residents on both sides. She explained the whole story to them, and everyone greeted her.

The lady then turned to the old lady and said, "Look, everyone knows me. I live next door. I will definitely help you get your matter done after I give you ten taels of silver."

The old lady asked, “How long will it take?”

The woman took a look inside and said, "It will take at least ten days."

"Ten days. Just a few rooms. Ten days?"

"Of course, I'll do it more carefully in the tenth day."

The old lady frowned and said, "Three days, do what I just said in three days."

She didn't think that the woman would be more thorough if she took longer, and would definitely procrastinate.

"Okay, okay, three days is three days. Keep it for three days and clean up your house."

After everything was discussed, the old lady gave the ten taels of silver to the woman.

You said you would come in a moment.
