Chapter 53: The Peach Blossom Evil
Chapter 53: The Peach Blossom Evil
"Yuan Ruhui, how could you be so stupid that you could tear a piece of clothing while washing it? I just made this piece of clothing last month. Since you tore it, you must go back and make a new one and send it to me."
Yuan Ruhui's eyes were red as she stammered, "Madam, I've worn this dress for several years..."
"Hey, you dare to talk back. I said it was new clothes, so it was new clothes, and you dare to quibble. My son only likes obedient girls, and you can't do it."
Yuan Ruhui panicked all of a sudden, "Madam, I was wrong. I will send you new clothes as soon as I make them."
The goal was achieved, and Sun's mother was proud in her heart, but she looked disdainful and said, "Okay, hurry up and wash the clothes. It's time to cook. Don't be like a stone that will only move if you push it."
"Yes, Madam, thank you for teaching me. I will cook after I finish washing the clothes."
"Hurry up, You'an works hard outside to make money. If you let him go hungry, I won't forgive you." Sun's mother said as she stretched out her hand to push him. "Really, you have no sense at all. You're standing here blocking the way. Why don't you get out of the way?"
Yuan Ruhui was pushed unexpectedly and almost fell. She staggered for several steps before she could barely stand.
She was obviously very aggrieved, but she dared not say anything. She obediently squatted in front of the big wooden basin and rubbed the clothes with great effort.
"Yuan Ruhui, the melon seeds you bought are so salty, why don't you make me a pot of tea quickly."
Hearing the sound coming from the room, Yuan Ruhui hurriedly put down the clothes she had just rubbed twice, and walked quickly to the side hall, saying urgently, "I'll be right there."
Xie Lan looked at Yuan Ruhui who worked hard and shook her head speechlessly. Relying on the invisibility talisman, she followed behind to the side hall.
Sun Yuezhen, who was cracking melon seeds, saw Yuan Ruhui and glared at her.
He grabbed a handful of melon seed shells and threw them at her, "Did you not eat or what? You are taking so long to walk a few steps. Do you want me to die of thirst?"
Seeing the things coming towards her, Yuan Ruhui subconsciously tried to dodge, but Sun Yuezhen was glaring at her angrily, so she was too scared to move and let the melon seed shells hit her head and face.
"I..." Yuan Ruhui was just about to say that she had indeed not eaten today. She had been busy running around since she arrived at the Sun family and had not had a break.
But Sun Yuezhen didn't want to listen to her at all. She just frowned and shouted, "Go quickly."
Yuan Ruhui stammered twice, and finally said nothing, just lowered her head to make tea.
Xie Lan shook his head, not knowing what she was trying to do. She could live a good life at home, but she had to come to the Sun family to suffer.
Even Xie Lan couldn't stand the malicious quarrel between the Sun family mother and daughter and wanted to teach them a lesson.
But after thinking about it, I gave up.
It was easy to deal with the Sun family, but if she didn't find out what was wrong with Yuan Ruhui, even if she beat the mother and daughter of the Sun family this time, it would only make them torture her even more.
It would be better to find out what is wrong with the Sun family.
Yuan Ruhui quickly made the tea.
Sun Yuezhen took the teacup and threw it at him without a word of thanks. "This tea is so hot, are you trying to scald me to death?"
Yuan Ruhui didn't expect that she would suddenly attack, and was hit by the teacup. Not only did she have a swelling on her forehead, but the back of her hand was also scalded by the tea and blisters appeared, and her clothes were soaked.
Xie Lan was so angry that he clenched his fists.
I thought that after being bullied so harshly, Yuan Ruhui would at least resist.
But she only took a breath in pain, and then apologized to Sun Yuezhen in panic, "I, I didn't mean it."
Although she knew in her heart that she shouldn't endure this, Yuan Ruhui still didn't dare to refute a word.
Sun Yuezhen didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt for scalding someone. "You're so stupid that you can't even make a cup of tea. How can you be worthy of my brother? Why don't you buy me two cups of bayberry juice, iced, and remember to add some osmanthus flowers."
Let’s go to Su He Ji to buy some lotus crisps and jujube paste cakes, and some more melon seeds and other roasted goods. Also, my brother likes to eat Zhang Ji’s braised pork elbow, and sister Yingying likes Yao Ji’s roast chicken, don’t forget to buy them back as well.”
Seeing Yuan Ruhui standing still, Sun Yuezhen yelled again, "Are you deaf? Why don't you go? You are standing here like a piece of wood. I have never seen anyone as stupid as you."
"I...I haven't finished washing my clothes yet."
"You haven't finished washing yet, can't you run faster? Go buy the things first and then wash them."
"But...but I still have to wash the vegetables and cook."
Sun Yuezhen shouted impatiently, "Go shopping first, and come back to cook." Yuan Ruhui shuddered and stammered, "Yes."
"Why don't you go quickly?"
"You...you haven't given me the silver yet."
Sun Yuezhen slammed her hand on the table in anger, "Don't you have money on you? Why don't you want to buy something for my brother?
My brother works so hard every day to earn money to marry you. But you are so stingy that you don't even want to buy me food. How can you be worthy of my brother?
You are not even as good as Sister Yingying."
Yuan Ruhui timidly looked up at her, then lowered her head and stammered, "I'm not unwilling. I'll go buy it right away."
Sun Yuezhen glared at her with disdain, then picked up the melon seeds and started cracking them.
As Yuan Ruhui stepped out of the side hall, Sun's mother, who had been eavesdropping for a long time in the other room, suddenly called her, "You're going out in wet clothes like this, are you trying to make people think that our Sun family is bullying you?"
"I, I didn't."
Mother Sun glared at her, then turned and told the maid behind her, "Get her a piece of clothing."
The maid curled her lips in disdain and turned away reluctantly.
Mother Sun looked at the palm print on Yuan Ruhui's face and frowned, "You know what to say about the wound on your face when you get out, right?"
"Yes, if anyone asks, I'll just say I got hurt accidentally while swatting a mosquito."
Mother Sun hummed with satisfaction, "Let the driver take you there, and come back quickly. When the meal is ready, send it to Youan and Yingying in the shop.
They work hard outside to make money, and when you marry them you don’t have to do anything, just stay at home and enjoy yourself.
Such a good marriage is hard to find even with a lantern, so don't be foolish and listen to your mother. She is not really doing this for your own good, she just wants to marry you to a rich man as a concubine so that she can get more betrothal money."
"Yes, yes, Madam, you treat me like your own daughter and I will obey you."
"I'm glad that you know it." Seeing Yuan Ruhui being so obedient, Sun's mother was very satisfied.
Xie Lan originally thought that what Madam Tao said before was a bit exaggerated, but after seeing the behavior of the mother and daughter of the Sun family with his own eyes, he realized that what she said was absolutely true.
While Yuan Ruhui was shopping, Xie Lan searched again, but unfortunately found nothing.
But she clearly saw something wrong with Yuan Ruhui.
If she was not mistaken, she must have been cursed by someone.
After buying the things, the mother and daughter of the Sun family ate melon seeds leisurely, and ordered Yuan Ruhui around.
After she finally finished washing the large basin of clothes and hung them up, she immediately washed the vegetables and cooked.
As soon as the meal was served on the table, before she had time to catch her breath, Sun's mother immediately sent her to deliver the meal to Sun Youan.
If Xie Lan had not heard what Madam Tao said, he would not have believed that Yuan Ruhui, who was so submissive and willing to be bullied, was once a straightforward girl.
It was noon and there were no guests in Xiangyun Pavilion. Only a maid was wiping the counter with a rag.
From the private room next door came an unbearable moan...
