Chapter 28 Arrogant
"The one who spoke to me today is the old lady's youngest daughter, Chen Xiyao. She is seventeen years old and has a gentle temperament. I heard that she is very kind to both the servants and us concubines."
"The woman standing to her left wearing a pomegranate skirt, if I'm not mistaken, should be Chen Rushu, the eldest daughter of the Fourth Master. It is said that she has a bad temper. People below her will stay away from her when they see her. If you see her again in the future, try to avoid her."
"As for the last one, the second master's most favored concubine, Chen Ruqi..."
When Liu Yu finished drinking the sweet soup in Duobao Pavilion and had already entered, Lian Baoer sent her out the door.
After making sure that Lian Baoer turned around and went back to the yard, Liu Yu passed by Qinyuanju, but did not go in. Instead, he turned a corner and went to the kitchen in the east yard.
"Madam, you?"
"Did you think I wasn't going?" Gu Yu guessed what Guyu was going to ask and asked her back.
Guyu understood. It turned out that the reason why his wife didn't say anything in Duobao Pavilion just now was not because she had given up.
"Since my wife was planning to seek justice for Aunt Lian, why did she hide it from her? Why didn't she take her with you?"
Liu Yu laughed and raised his hand to knock Guyu, then he saw Lian Baoer, her personal servant Xiao Lian, and the little girl who was beaten chasing after him.
"Sister Yu, I knew you would carry me here." Lian Baoer's voice was a little choked.
This was her business. How could she let Sister Yu take the risk alone to seek justice for her?
Seeing her face filled with anger, she looked like she was going to fight.
Liu Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he also reminded:
"Not everything can be done fairly. Just control your temper. We just need to let the person who moved out of the room restore the same routine as other concubines for you. Don't make a big deal out of it." There is no point in delving into the past, and it will make Lian Baoer have a hard time in this backyard.
Lian Baoer had no objection, and at the same time turned around and warned the two maids she had brought with her.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the kitchen in the east courtyard. The smell of cooking wafted out, arousing their appetite. Servants and maids from various courtyards were coming and going in front of the kitchen door.
Guyu walked in front, protecting her and Lian Baoer as they stepped into the kitchen courtyard.
"Move aside, move aside, don't block the road!" An old woman carrying a large bucket of water squeezed past them.
Liu Yu looked at the little girl behind Lian Baoer:
"Do you remember who contacted you and hit you?"
"Remember." The little girl walked through the crowd and came to the kitchen door, pointing at the three women sitting at the door, leisurely eating melon seeds:
"That's them."
The three maids also saw Liu Yu and the others. They threw the melon seeds to the ground, stood up, and sneered as if they could not see Liu Yu and Lian Baoer:
"Why, do you think that by finding someone here, you can threaten me to give you special treatment?"
"I'm telling you, little girl, don't say you only found your aunt, even if you found Guard Feng, I wouldn't be afraid." Then he started to yell:
"Come and see! As soon as this girl came to the kitchen this morning, she asked us to prepare bird's nest, abalone, and sea cucumber for her. These things all require registration, so how could I dare to give them to her?"
Hearing this, a maid who came to get the meal looked at Liu Yu and Lian Baoer and snorted:
"Don't you realize your status? You still want to eat bird's nest. You are not worthy." He walked away with the food box in disdain.
Seeing that her master was implicated by her, the little girl was furious and said, "You are talking nonsense. I never asked for bird's nest."
But no one listened to her. Everyone looked at Liu Yu and Lian Baoer with contempt.
Lian Baoer is not the kind of person who would keep silent when being wronged.
She immediately stood up and cursed: "You damn witch, what did you say? When did I ever have those things in my yard?"
The scolded woman's eyes flashed with contempt, but she smiled and walked forward:
"So it's Aunt Lian! But even if you are half the master, you can't let me confuse right and wrong! Your maid did come to ask for these things. If it's really not your order, then it's you, the maid, who got greedy and wanted to cheat me under your name."
Then he instructed the two maids behind him:
"Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Zhao, send this stinky girl to Steward Luo and have him beat her to death for daring to cheat in the East Courtyard."
The two old women immediately went to catch the little maid.
"You dare." Lian Baoer rushed to the front of his own maid to block her.
"Madam Lian, are you going to protect your maid?" Mrs. Wu asked.
"You guys..." Lian Baoer stared at the three people in front of him.
Seeing these three old women accusing the little girl without any investigation, Liu Yu felt a little regretful for the first time in his life and refused to manage the affairs of the East Courtyard.
Liu Yu walked up to the three old women.
"What? Aunt Liu is also going to protect that maid with evil intentions?" The old woman was not afraid of her at all and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
Liu Yu still looked indifferent.
"What are you talking about, Mrs. Wu? Since she is a maid who is taking advantage of her power to bully others and has evil intentions, even if you don't say anything, as Aunt Lian's sister, I will send her to the old lady and ask her to make the decision."
Ke'er was clearly wronged by these people, so why did Sister Yu only listen to their one-sided story? But looking at Sister Yu's expression, it didn't seem like she was joking.
Lian Baoer panicked and called out "Sister Yu" anxiously.
Liu Yu ignored Lian Baoer and stared at the three old women in front of him without blinking.
"Guyu, tie him up and send him to Shou'an Hall."
"Yes." Guyu produced a hemp rope from somewhere, walked forward, tied up the shocked little girl, and walked out with her in his arms.
The posture looks like they really want to send the person to the old lady.
"Please in, everyone!" Liu Yu made a gesture to invite people in.
The three old women shrank back at once, they couldn't understand what was going on.
The original intention was to follow Aunt Hua's idea and scare the two new concubines, letting them know that in the East Courtyard, don't think that just because you are a concubine you can bully them and show off your power.
Sending the old lady away is a big deal. Who is the old lady? Just ask her and she will know what happened today.
Then the time will not be to deal with this stinky girl, but to deal with them!
After realizing this, the three fat women rushed to the kitchen door like a gust of evil wind, blocking Guyu's way, panting:
"You can't leave."
Guyu took the little girl by the hand and retreated behind Liu Yu.
"Mother Wu, you were the ones who said you wanted to kidnap someone, and now you are blocking the way. What are you doing?" Before the maids could catch their breath, Liu Yu seemed to have thought of something and said in disbelief:
"Do you think Manager Luo is more fair?"
Who dares to admit this?
The three old women looked as if they had eaten a fly; their faces turned red and their expressions were extremely ugly.
They couldn't possibly say that Manager Luo was one of their own and that everyone they sent over would plead guilty.
