Su Erya smiled slightly. But when she turned her head, she was pitiful. She obediently walked in front, exactly as before.
Nanny Li followed timidly and kept looking around, hoping to meet the butler. But unfortunately, as they walked to the West Courtyard, she did not meet him on the road.
Boom!
The wooden door of the big wing of the West courtyard was violently closed, and the First Madam turned her face without expression. She said, “Nanny Li, thanks for your care for Erya during these days. From now on, Nanny Zheng who comes from West Courtyard will take care of her. Nanny Zheng, give her some money and let her go. If she doesn’t go... just beat and drag her out!”
Clack!
A thick wooden stick was put in front of her, and Nanny Li was so frightened that she trembled violently. Such a big stick could break her legs. But she did not take the money or move.
Nanny Zheng grimly smiled. When she lifted the sti
“Oh, Second Miss, I am really sorry for my old legs and feet. But it is just a little dirty water, and you can eat it if you wash it with the water of the well.” Nanny Zheng stepped back with a cruel smile and continued, “I have to serve the First Madam to get up, so I have no time to wash it for you.”As she spoke, the nameless fire in Nanny Zheng’s heart burned again. Because Su Erya did not look up at her from the beginning, nor did she show any expression of resentment and despair.It was like... It was like she was a clown performing a one-man show on the stage.Damn it!“Damn Erya, your eldest brother is far away from the County Town, and no one will save you this time!” Nanny Zheng was so angry that she left with her hips swinging after saying that.Su Erya looked up and stared at the back of Nanny Zheng. After a moment, there was a gentle smile on her face, the blood behind her flowed down the wooden stool and
Qi Xianqing knew that the relationship between himself and Su Erya was not suitable to expose, so he had to restrain his anxiety. He coughed lightly and said, “Today Second Miss did not come to class. I don’t teach if not all my students are present. That’s my rule. First Madam, please tell me where the Second Miss is, so that I can go and have a look.”The First Madam had a stiff smile on her face, and she cursed the pedantic old man for his eccentricity.“Sir, come and let’s talk.”The First Madam stretched out her hand and pointed to a path. Qi Xianqing looked cool, but still walked with her.“Sure enough, you still want money! But if it could be solved with money, I’ll do it.” The First Madam snorted coldly. In order to trace the origins of the jade, she almost spent all her money. She only hoped that he wouldn’t want too much.“Ah...you are all bad guys! No one will save my second sister. I am going to tell father
When Su Huanli heard that, his face became as ugly as it could be.What the hell was Zhu Yan doing?“Butler!”After Su Huanli shouted, the butler hurriedly walked in from outside with sweat on his head. “What is your order, my Lord? The carriage to the silk village was broken, and I was rushing to find someone to fix it.”Seeing the old butler’s coat was stained by sweat, Su Huanli didn’t blame him and just said, “Go to the West Courtyard and bring Erya here.Did the Second Miss return to the West Courtyard?The old butler was surprised, but when he saw Qi Xianqing, he suddenly understood. He anxiously rushed to the West Courtyard without saying any words and forgot the carriage thing.“Lord, Erya is my student. I am really worried about her. I will go with the butler.”Qi Xianqing waved his sleeves and followed the old butler.Su Huanli stared at Mr. Qi with wide eye
“This is all for the reputation of our Su Family, so I can only let you have grievance for a period of time. In addition, how about you send Nanny Zheng to the government?”Seeing that Su Huanli showed his good attitude, Zhu Yan was relieved secretly. But her expression was still indifferent.Because of the jade, she often took money from her family, which made her parents unhappy. If Su Huanli also snubbed her, her life would be worse.When Nanny Zheng heard that she would be dealt with by the First Madam, she was happy about that. But when she thought of her previous behaviors, she shed cold sweat and immediately thought about how to get out of this situation.“Sister, I am going back to my yard first,” Zhu Yan said to the Second Madam, but when she turned around, her face became serious. Nanny Zheng huddled around her like a turtle. After the group of people left, only Li Yuelian and her maids were left in the yard.
Nanny Li quivered and kept silent. No one knew if she remembered the past or Su Erya’s cold voice from a few days ago.“Nanny Li, now I just want to stay quiet in Jinyuan Court. It’s best if I am not bullied by anyone. But if I am bullied again, I want to have the strength to fight back. Before, life and death were out of my control. Now, I don’t want to experience that feeling again.”Su Erya flashed a bitter smile, “My mother...she is really cruel! I thought that if I did not resist, even if I had a hard life, I would not die. So I kept silent and did not resist. However, I was too naive.”Nanny Li was so moved that she realized it was her, not the Second Miss that was stupid. She was so foolish that she was even scared by Erya’s cold voice.But after thinking carefully, she knew Second Miss was so young, so she had to think about how to live every day. If she were not smart, how else could she have survived? Before
Shaking her head to dispel strange thoughts, Nanny Li proposed, “Let me do some needlework to support the family. You made the Lord unhappy last time because of your problem with the First Madam. No matter how aggrieved you are, you must not go to him.”With her eyes glistening, Su Erya gently said, “I know. Don’t worry.”“Great! Second Miss, have a rest. I’m about to prepare lunch,” Nanny Li replied and went to the kitchen.Bending down, Su Erya gently closed the Copybook of Dahan from Su Zipei’s room and walked lightly toward the Main Courtyard like a fair maiden.“Lord, the Second Miss would like to see you,” Butler Li told the Lord at the door of the study. Putting down the accounts and slightly frowning, Su Huanli said: “What is she doing? She just recovered.”“She may want to pay respects to you.” Butler Li said with a smile.Su Huanli snorted, “I don’t think so. Let her in.”
At this moment, an exquisite carriage stopped outside the gate of the Su House. The curtain was engraved with a large Chinese character “Yang”, a surname. When the carter opened the curtain, a young man in golden clothes walked out immediately with a face of pride.Clack!The young man opened his folding fan. Coupled with his handsome face, he had the temperament of a childe.“Cousin, I came as I promised!”The young man with big steps crossed the border of the Su House, and soon there was a sound of “ouch” in the house.Yang Wei’s foot slipped on the ground and his mouth was bleeding. He climbed up and wiped the blood in his face, and his expression gradually distorted.“Fuck! Who sprinkle the lime on the ground? It tastes like sticky rice cake!”“Atishoo!”Su Erya rubbed her nose and felt a little strange, “Who’s talking about me?”Inside the hall.When
Nanny Li suddenly remembered that the Lord told Su Erya not to make Zongzi any longer. Nanny Li grew scared and stopped talking. Su Erya looked relaxed and said with a playful tone, “If I can exchange a plain dish for a brighter future of the eldest brother, it doesn’t matter!”Nanny Li now understood the exchange and shivered.The Second Miss was much smarter than she thought. Had Second Miss planned this?What happened a few months ago flashed through her mind. She had been around Su Erya, so she knew exactly what. But she didn’t find any traces of deliberation. This all seemed to be a coincidence.Nanny Li didn’t dare to think about it anymore. She was scared. Subconsciously, she would rather believe that the Second Miss was a kind and lovely person who didn’t scheme. “Nanny Li, why are you sweating? Is it hot here?” Su Erya asked.Nanny Li was awakened suddenly. Smiling, she wiped the sw
