Chu Xian had a hint of admiration for this big brother.

The two maids entered the house and saw that the man was still asleep, so they lowered their voices and went to the outside.

Seeing that the matter was finally settled, Chu Xian breathed a sigh of relief and fell asleep in a daze.

I slept very deeply, and when I woke up again, it was still dark.

Chu Xian's throat was so dry that her whole body felt like falling apart. She wanted to speak but couldn't say a word. She struggled to get down to pour water, but as soon as her feet landed on the ground, stars suddenly appeared in her eyes and her whole body felt weak.

He threw himself directly on the table and knocked over a whole table of tea cups.

The girl outside heard the commotion, hurriedly held the lamp, dressed, and ran over

Qing Xing saw the mess on the ground, put the lamp on the table, came over to help Chu Xian up and said: "Little ancestor, are you hurt?"

At this time, Qinglian yawned and followed behind, and couldn't help complaining: "Miss Sixth, what are you doing in the middle of the night? Do you have to torment people?"

Qing Xing scolded Qing Lian and asked her to clean up the broken things. She then turned to Chu Xian and said, "Qing Lian is an outspoken girl. Don't argue with her." Then she poured a cup of tea for Chu Xian and said, "I think she must be honest."

Miss is thirsty, please drink something quickly."

Chu Xian took Qing Xing's hand and drank without saying anything else.

After Qinglian finished cleaning, she said impatiently: "If the lady has no other instructions, I will leave first." After saying that, without waiting for Chu Xian to say anything, she yawned and left.

Qingxing settled Chu Xian, tucked her in, and left.

Both of them are the eldest maids in the old lady's room. They are used to being arrogant. They were assigned to serve Chu Xian, so they were worried that they would have complained. Qinglian has no palace, everything is written on her face, but Qingxing is pretty good at doing things.

We are very considerate, but we may not be willing to do so.

The old lady has no time to take care of her now. Once she is free, it will be the moment to pronounce her fate.

If she can't stay with the old lady, given her status as a concubine, which servant can she expect to treat her respectfully, and who can she expect to protect her?

Chu Qian performed a righteous act of annihilation in front of everyone. Liu Cheng was beheaded in the streets, and the people threw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves in the streets.

The country girl was sent back to Zhuangzi, and the eldest lady took the initiative to ask for help and sent people to protect her, trying to restore Chu Qian's reputation.

Chu Qian did not completely reject Qian's overtures, but was also leaving room for each other. Qian was currently concentrating on conquering Chu Qian and was too lazy to pay attention to Chu Xian.

But Chu Xian knew that these peaceful days would not last long.

Sure enough, half a month later, Chu Xian recovered well, Qian also restored Chu Qian's heart, and finally began to settle the score.

That day, Chu Xian went to greet the old lady. As soon as she walked to the door, she heard Mrs. Qian saying painfully: "Mom, my daughter-in-law was really confused in the past. Now that the Chu family has gone through such a thing, my daughter-in-law understands it completely. To be a mistress, you have to be like your mother."

Like, treat others with tolerance and be tolerant. Think about the past, I was soft-eared and easily provoked by others, and I could do a lot of bad things to make my mother angry. Don't worry, my wife will never be stupid again in the future."

Mrs. Qian opened her mouth as if she was smearing honey. She had harmed herself by praising Mrs. Shen, but she had clearly taken away all her responsibilities.

After hearing this, Mrs. Shen held the beads with a calm expression and said, "It's good to know. If you do it again in the future, I won't forgive you."

Qian agreed with a smile, flattered Shen a few more words, and finally turned to the topic: "A-Xian is still young and noisy. She has disturbed my mother for the past few days, and my daughter-in-law feels very sorry. This child has no mother, so she is pitiful.

.If you follow me from now on, I will definitely raise her as my own. From now on, if A-Yan or A-Qi have anything, she will be indispensable."

Shen's hand holding the beads paused slightly.

He raised his eyelids and looked at Qian.

Mrs. Qian smiled sincerely and said: "Mother, I am the mother of the house after all, and it is only natural that the child is raised in my name. If mother is not at ease, I will ask her to come to greet mother every day. If she doesn't care about her,

Mom, just come to me."

This slightly ironic assurance finally made Shen a little shaken.

She has been fasting and chanting Buddha for many years, and has long been accustomed to living a pure life. Fortunately, Chu Xian's child is also well-behaved and is not as surly and noisy as the rumors say. Instead, she is quiet and cautious, as if she is always afraid of making her unhappy.

This cautious look made Ms. Shen feel extremely uncomfortable. She had never thought about whether to keep the child.

Now that Mr. Qian came to ask for someone, she had no choice but to respond: "It's up to you. Tomorrow, I'll have someone clean up and send her over."

Only then did Qian go back.

After leaving the gate of Shoukangyuan, the smile on Qian's face disappeared, leaving only a cold light in her eyes.

How dare a little girl with no full hair dare to plot against her?

She has been in the back house for many years and has many ways of killing people without blood.

As long as Chu Xian falls into her hands, she will definitely let that little girl have a taste of her power!

Here, as soon as Qian left, Chu Xian's legs became weak.

She is an adult on the inside, but she is a child on the body. She cannot do many things with her thin and sickly body.

What's more, most of the servants in the back house are people who are good at figuring out the master's thoughts. Sometimes Qian doesn't need to do anything, her look, an action, or a word can make those who are flattering want to die.

she.

Looking at the entire Chu family, the only person who can protect her is Shen.

Now that Mr. Shen personally sent her to Ms. Qian, does she still have a chance to survive?

Chu Xian bit her lip, turned around and left. As she was leaving, she accidentally kicked down the flower pot on the steps, making a "crash" sound.

Mrs. Shen was lost in thought when she was startled by the noise and stood up quickly.

Then they saw Aunt Fang come into the room with tea and said to Mrs. Shen: "Old madam, drink the calming tea while it's hot."

Mrs. Shen sighed: "Let's leave it for now." She sat back on the chair and asked after a while: "Is it that girl A-Xian just now?"

Aunt Fang responded: "Yes, she seems to be in a state of distraught. She must be reluctant to leave the old lady."

Mrs. Shen felt even more upset. She looked at Aunt Fang and said, "You said, I did something wrong?"

"The eldest lady comes to ask for someone. How can the old lady be so domineering and not give it to her?" Aunt Fang comforted her, "Besides, everyone has their own destiny. Miss Sixth is smart and nothing will happen to her."

Are you smart? Shen shook her head, thinking that this girl looked smart, but she was actually a very honest child.

If it were another person, living under her nose these days, he would not think of any way to make her happy and beg her to take her in. But this child would not say anything or ask for anything. He would do everything quietly. Come on.

Li left quietly again.

A sensible person is not like a child.

Mrs. Shen sighed again, she had only raised this child for a few days, how could she feel guilty?

In the evening, Mrs. Shen specially asked Chu Xian to come and have dinner with her.

The vegetarian dishes on the table were all soup and water. Chu Xian bowed and served the table. Qing Xing served her dishes. Shen paid special attention to the child and found that Chu Xian was not picky about food at all. She would eat whatever Qing Xing put on her plate.

What? Even the bitter melon, she eats it with gusto.

There was not much flesh on his body, and his arms and legs were so thin that they looked like they would break if he stretched them out.

Mrs. Shen felt distressed again. This child was pitiful. He must have never had anything good to eat when he was with Aunt Jiang.

Immediately, he ordered the housewife to cook some meat and vegetables.

Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that the old lady, who had been a vegetarian for many years, would turn to vegetarian food for Chu Xian.

Chu Xian was also flattered and said hurriedly: "Grandma, don't worry, Chu Xian can just eat this."

Mrs. Shen touched her head with a loving smile in her eyes: "Silly boy, how can you grow taller if you don't eat meat?"

Perhaps out of an attempt to make amends, Mrs. Shen was particularly kind to Chu Xian that night. She kept her meal, talked to her, and even talked about Buddhist scriptures. In her previous life, Chu Xian copied a lot of books for Xiao He's mother in order to please her mother-in-law.

Sutra. Deliberately speaking in childlike language, Mrs. Shen was offended and praised repeatedly, saying that she had wisdom.

The grandfather and grandson talked until late at night, and Mrs. Shen left Chu Xian to stay.

When Chu Xian saw Mrs. Shen asleep, she felt depressed. She was going to see Mr. Qian tomorrow, but she didn't know what would greet her.

After her rebirth, she was particularly in awe of gods and Buddhas.

So, he quietly stood up, knelt on the futon in front of the Buddhist altar, clasped his hands together, and wept silently.

She thought that she would only allow herself to be weak this time, and no matter how painful or difficult the road would be in the future, she would grit her teeth and go on.

Shen is old and sleeps lightly. She wakes up whenever Chu Xian moves.

In the faint moonlight, looking at the little person kneeling on the cold floor and listening to the suppressed cries, it really made Shen's heart ache.

She wished she could get up immediately and hold him in her arms.

But after thinking about it, Mrs. Shen still endured it.

Early the next morning, Chu Xian happily bid farewell to Mr. Shen, with no troubled expression on her face. As usual, Mr. Shen gave her a few instructions and sent her away.

The two maids Qingxing and Qinglian continued to serve Chu Xian, but there was no trace of joy on their faces.

Chu Xian just pretended not to see it and went to Piaoxiang Courtyard to see Mr. Qian.

Before Qian could get up, Chu Xian had been standing on the porch waiting with her hands down. Qian's two confidant maids sneered at Chu Xian and belittled her. Chu Xian stood quietly without replying or speaking, and there was no wave on her face.

Aunt Gui entered the room and said, "Madam, do you think that little girl is deaf? In the past, whenever she said something bad about Jiang, she would fight to the death. Now she is calm."

Mr. Qian sat in front of the dressing table, pinching his lip paper and pursed it gently, with a smile on his lips but a cold look in his eyes.

This girl has really grown up. She knows it's a provocation, but she doesn't accept the move.

Aunt Gui thought for a while and said, "Maybe she knows that no one is protecting her anymore, so she is being honest."
