As the night fell, You Ling headed to the woodshed in the north courtyard, carrying only a snack box and a small lamp.
A servant at the door of the woodshed just stamped his feet and cursed at the door.
The people in the woodshed are not easy to deal with either.
Hearing the servant curse, she yelled at him in a sharp voice.
The scolding was so unpleasant that the servant only threatened, "Luo Ruo, you will be betrayed tomorrow. If you dare to be so arrogant again, be careful, I will come in and kill you."
Luo Ruo didn't care at all when he heard this.
Although the eldest lady's backer is gone, the eldest lady will definitely not let her go.
Therefore, at this time, she still felt that she had a chance to make a comeback.
"Li Siyou, if you dare to attack me, I will never spare you when you come to mistress tomorrow. I can tell you, as long as tomorrow passes, I will be the person in front of mistress. Don't hit me by mistake. idea."
After hearing Luo Ruo's words, Li Siyou only felt that Luo Ruo was talking nonsense. After all, no matter how kind-hearted the mistress was, she could not bring a girl to him who did not take him seriously.
So after listening to Luo Ruo's words, Li Siyou just laughed outside the door.
"Just you? Luo Ruo, are you afraid that you have gone crazy because of being abandoned by the eldest lady? If Madam really planned to bring you to her, why didn't she defend you in the pavilion just now? If she really wanted to employ you, how could she How could I sell you out? What you are eating now is not just the cold noodles from the kitchen. Has Madam ever come over to take a look at you?"
There is still a thin layer of cold in the May weather. The nights are long and boring. Li Siyou, who was standing guard outside the woodshed, couldn't sleep anyway.
But he didn't dare to really touch Luo Ruo. Even if he was dissatisfied at this time, he could only play tricks with Luo Ruo.
She didn't want Luo Ruo to be laughed at by him, but she became very angry and said, "Madam will come! I am Madam's person! Madam can't ignore me! Stop fooling me here, be careful when I go out and meet you Pi Song."
As she yelled toward the door, she seemed to have knocked down a pile of firewood in the woodshed.
With such a bad temper, Li Siyou simply couldn't imagine how much suffering Luo Ruo would suffer if he was sold out of the house.
However, before he could finish his emotion, he saw someone walking not far away holding a lantern. When the person came closer, he could see clearly that the person who came was really the worried girl in the eldest lady's courtyard.
Li Siyou couldn't help but tremble for a moment. Could what Luo Ruo in the room just said be true?
But then he thought of Madam's usual kind appearance, and quickly separated Madam's image from the fierce woman Luo Ruo.
He greeted her with a flattering smile, "Miss Youling, it's so late, why are you here?"
You Ling just chuckled. She took out a bottle of good wine from the food box and handed it to Li Siyou. Then she said, "Madam, I think the weather is still cold in May, and Brother Li will have to work hard all night today. So I specially ordered my slaves to come over and bring some wine and food to Brother Li, so he can just eat."
Hearing that the worried people in the Madam's courtyard were here for him, Li Siyou was moved and felt ashamed that he had actually doubted Madam because of what Luo Ruo said in the room.
He took the food box with a smile, and Luo Ruo in the room naturally heard the conversation outside the door.
She quickly patted the door of the woodshed and said, "Is the madam here? Li Siyou, I want to see the madam! Open the door quickly!"
After listening to Luo Ruo's words, there was only a moment of coldness in You Ling's eyes.
However, at this time, Li Siyou was completely moved by You Ling's kindness, and he just knocked hard on the door.
"What's the fuss about? Madam, where can I meet a wretch like you! This is Miss Youling!"
However, Luo Ruo was not afraid of Li Siyou's intimidation at all. She just continued to pound the door frantically, "You Ling! You Ling! Say something! Is it possible that the lady really wants to kill the donkey? If so, I, Luo Ruo, will also It’s not something to be trifled with. At worst, tomorrow I will tell you everything my wife has done to the eldest lady over the years..."
Seeing that Luo Ruo dared to say anything crazy.
You Ling didn't want Luo Ruo to say anything to others, so she immediately interrupted coldly, "Madam is kind and will naturally find a good place for you, but if you continue to slander Madam, don't blame me for being rude."
After hearing what You Ling said, Luo Ruo naturally did not dare to say these inappropriate words to others.
Seeing that there was no sound in the room, You Ling said to Li Siyou on the side, "Brother Li, can you let me go see Luo Ruo?"
As she spoke, she only took out a bunch of copper coins.
Li Siyou was naturally jealous of money. After taking the copper coins, he quickly put down the food box, and then said with a smile, "Of course it's okay, but this Luo Ruo is very fierce, and I'm afraid that the girl will suffer."
You Ling still smiled kindly, "No, even if she really wants to harm me, isn't there still Brother Li?"
Li Siyou was naturally very impressed by what he heard. He was in his prime of life, and when he was praised by a girl of the same age, he couldn't help but feel proud.
He said no more and just opened the door of the woodshed. Even before opening the woodshed, he asked Youling thoughtfully, "Miss Youling, do you want me to go in and accompany you?"
But You Ling smiled calmly and said, "No need, just stay away from the door and watch."
After hearing what You Ling said, he still looked at Luo Ruo worriedly several times, but seeing that Luo Ruo didn't do anything violent and hurtful, he just left, and at the same time he didn't forget to warn You Ling, if there was any danger , be sure to inform yourself.
You Ling just smiled and dealt with his verbosity. After Li Siyou closed the door to the woodshed, You Ling turned to look at Luo Ruo, whose hair was disheveled after being locked up for half an afternoon.
Although she has always looked down upon Luo Ruo's behavior, people who have stayed in front of Madam for a long time will naturally not show their likes and dislikes to others.
She first smiled and comforted in a low voice, "Aruo, don't worry, Madam is taking care of everything, so you won't suffer much."
"How does Madam plan to arrange for me?" Luo Ruo asked warily.
You Ling just looked around, and then Fang took out a bag of about twenty taels of broken silver and a paper deed from his sleeve and handed it to Luo Ruo.
Luo Ruo didn't have much reaction when she saw the broken silver.
Although this money is enough to buy ten of myself, it is still a huge sum of money for an ordinary family.
But after all, Luo Ruo was being manipulated by Miss Jiang. When she was in the eldest lady's house, the eldest lady was not only a bit bad-tempered, but she was very good to their servants in terms of food and clothing. In addition, she stole some from time to time. The eldest lady's mother's dowry was resold, and it was not like she had never seen more money than this on weekdays.
Even the money for her brother and sister-in-law to buy houses and land over the years came from her. This little money was only enough for her to make a sound.
But when someone gave money, no one would be too picky about it. Youling handed over the money, and she accepted it smoothly.
She weighed the silver bag, and then glanced at the deed of sale with her own fingerprints on it and said unhappily, "What do you mean, madam, but I am not allowed to stay in Jiang Mansion anymore?"
You Ling no longer pretended, she nodded, "This money is reserved for you to use on the road, and Mrs. Shenqi has also given it to you. I have also taken care of Yapa. I will wait for Yapa to take you out of the house tomorrow." You are free."
However, Luo Ruo didn't feel any gratitude after hearing this.
After all, in Jiang Mansion, food and clothing are more expensive than outside, and she can bring the whole family to eat well and drink spicy food when she enters the house alone.
Now that he has suddenly obtained a contract and is free, it is not easy to find another job with such a stupid person and a lot of money.
Seeing that Luo Ruo remained silent, her worried expression darkened slightly. She said coldly, "Madam has paved the way for you. You should be careful tomorrow and don't cause any trouble."
After saying this, the Youling stood up and prepared to leave.
Luo Ruo just then said, "Miss Worrying, even if the madam wants to send me away, these twenty taels won't be enough, right? We maids usually get more than this from the eldest lady in a year, Madam. She is also the mistress of a palace, why do you give me so much money? Is this sending a beggar away?"
"Luo Ruo, what else do you want? The eldest lady is going to sell you out today. If it weren't for the kindness of the madam and her protection for you, you would have been killed by the eldest lady today. Now that the madam has paved the way for you, you won't go? You Do you really want to be betrayed directly?" You Ling was obviously very angry, but considering that Li Siyou was still guarding outside, she only lowered her voice.
However, this Luo Ruo was quite a bit shabby, and she did not deliberately suppress her voice. "Madam, is she kind? Miss Youling is really joking. If madam is really kind, how could she arrange for us maids to go there and be the scapegoats? She did it for me." She just paved the way because she was afraid that I would bite her back."
"But I am a person who always values money rather than people. Since Madam has no intention of keeping me in the Jiang Mansion, I will naturally leave after she gives me enough money. If Madam is not kind, don't blame me for being unjust."
Even though You Ling is dissatisfied with Luo Ruo's words, she does have a lot of contact with Madam on weekdays. If the eldest lady comes to her on a whim tomorrow, she will tell all the things between Madam and her. I don't know how much trouble it will cause.
Therefore, although Youling was dissatisfied, she still asked with a bad face, "How much do you want?"
Luo Ruo said, "Two hundred taels."
Hearing Luo Ruo's quotation, You Ling almost jumped in anger. She had been a maid in Jiang Mansion for so many years, but she had never saved so much.
Two hundred taels was enough for her to buy a piece of land in the suburbs of Beijing and become a small landlord.
If there is such a good thing, it will not be his turn.
So when she heard this, she just sneered, "You are asking for a lot of money. I think you are crazy. This matter is not negotiable. If you insist on toasting and not eating, you will be fined. Our wife has many ways to punish you."
After saying these words, You Ling made a show of leaving the woodshed.
Luo Ruo acted like a fool and shouted, "Miss, Luo Ruo has something to say to you! Madam, she..."
You Ling quickly covered Luo Ruo's mouth and said, "Stop yelling. I'll go back and discuss it with Madam."
After hearing what Youling said, Luo Ruo stopped yelling. She only reminded you with a smile, "Miss Youling, please hurry up, otherwise the night will be long and people will be impetuous. I'm afraid I will inevitably say something unpleasant." "
When You Ling heard this, she only glared at Luo Ruo angrily.
