The maid guarding the door saw that it was Madam who was coming, and there was nothing wrong with her, so she hurriedly opened the door.
Wei Jingwei only took two maids with her and asked others to wait outside and were not allowed to come in.
After all, she is a maid from Zhuxi Courtyard. Who knows what happened to her. If it is something unpleasant, the fewer people who know about it, the better.
As soon as he entered, there was a not-so-pleasant smell coming from the house. The house where servants live is like this. There are many people living together, so there is a smell.
On the bed, a thin figure huddled in the corner, his hands and feet curled up into a ball, his head buried in his knees and crying softly.
The clothes on her body looked very thin in the depth of winter. Wei Jingwei ordered, "Go and get her some thicker clothes. It's already the depth of winter. If you wear something like this, you'll freeze to death if you don't throw yourself into a well."
Su Er: "Yes."
She quickly returned to her room and found some new thick clothes. She walked closer and put the clothes on the maid, and then she looked at the group of them with eyes red and swollen from crying.
When she saw Wei Jingwei, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly crawled to him, kowtowing repeatedly.
"Madam, please help me."
It was true that what she was knocking on was not the bluestone but the wooden board on the bed, but it must have been very painful if she hit it with such a heavy force. Looking at the red and swollen jade forehead in front of her, she couldn't help but wonder what happened.
"What on earth happened that made you scream for help?"
She looked at the maid with her eyes and saw that there were many shocking wounds on the exposed skin of her wrists. Some of them looked like they had been injured recently, and some looked like they were about to heal.
There is no good piece of meat anyway.
He is such a vicious person. The intensity of the wounds is so intense that no one can bear it.
The maid cried, rolled up her sleeves, and said in a whimpering voice: "Madam, you see that since Aunt Zhang was carried in, this slave was originally a third-class maid in the old lady's yard, so don't point to her, Auntie." He never put me in high regard, so he asked me to work outside and not to go inside." After a pause, she sucked in tears and continued: "I know that my aunt doesn't like it, so I rarely appear in front of my aunt, but since Aunt Ruan has After she got pregnant, Aunt Zhang was beaten and scolded by her slaves for some unknown reason, and every time she was hit harder than before. Today she would be whipped with a whip, and tomorrow she would be boiled with hot water. If she was no longer happy, she would let the slaves hold her Do not let water spill out of a scalding cup."
As she spoke, she spread her palms. A lot of the flesh on the burns on her hands was rotten, and some scabs also oozed yellow pus. Su'er and Lian'er who were following behind Wei Jingwei both gasped. Voice.
"I don't know why my aunt is doing this, but no matter how careful I am, my aunt is still unhappy. She always punishes my aunt for various reasons. If this continues... If this continues, my aunt knows that she will not survive this winter. Fortunately, I was tortured to death by someone who was not a human being. It would be better for me to jump into the well myself and suffer less torture."
She cried more and more sadly, and her tears stained the quilt under her feet.
Wei Jingwei speculated from her words that it was because Ruan Ying'er also came out of the old lady's house, and so did she, so Zhang Ruoruo felt unhappy and unhappy, so he used Cuiyu to vent his resentment towards the old lady and Aunt Ruan... ..
The more she thought about it, the more likely it was that she felt it was possible.
But she didn't expect that Zhang Ruoruo would be so cruel and torture and humiliate people at will. In Wei Jingwei's eyes, she originally thought she was only cruel to those who came between her and Mei Yuanqing, but she didn't expect that she would be cruel to her servants as well.
It seems that after she died in the last life, Hongxia Pavilion probably buried the entire courtyard with her.
"I already know about your matter, don't worry, since you call me madam, I won't ignore your matter." She turned to look at Su'er, "Go and find a doctor to take a look at her. Apply medicine to all the wounds on her body. As a girl, if she can leave no marks or scars, it’s best not to leave them at all and let the doctor use the best medicine. I’ll pay for it.”
Su Erfu saluted and said with a smile: "I know, I know."
Her young lady is the most kind-hearted.
After hearing Wei Jingwei's words, Cuiyu cried even harder. She kowtowed twice and said sternly: "I can't repay Madam's great kindness. I only hope that I can have the opportunity to repay you in the future."
Wei Jingwei was stunned for a moment and said softly: "I don't need you to repay me. Just take good care of yourself. You don't need to worry about anything else." After a pause, she continued to say seriously: "Do you still have family?"
Cuiyu didn't know why she asked so, and replied blankly, "I have a mother, brother and sister-in-law outside."
"Since you still have family in the world and are not a duckweed, then you should not die silently like this. You need to know that if you die so casually, it will only make your relatives miserable and your enemies happy."
After hearing this, Cuiyu nodded vaguely in understanding.
Wei Jingwei walked out with Lian'er and saw that the grandma who just came to report this matter was still guarding outside the door, and said: "I have sent Su'er to ask a doctor for this matter today, and I will never sit idly by. "
A touch of excitement appeared on Mammy's face, and her lips trembled. Her guess was indeed correct. In this mansion, the person who was once the head of the house was a kind person, and Cuiyu was a servant. They are all just servants.
The only difference lies in whether or not you get the master's will.
Seeing Cuiyu's body covered with scars and pain, they would also die in grief.
"Madam is indeed kind."
Wei Jingwei was too lazy to listen to what she said. She waved her hand to indicate that she was going back and would leave the rest of this place to her.
Mammy thought for a while, then called her with a somewhat embarrassed look on her face, "Madam..." She looked into the room, "Then should we let other people in the house know about this matter, or... ....”
Wei Jingwei shook his head, "I know you want to shake this matter out, but I advise you not to."
Grandma was confused, "Why."
If this matter were brought out, wouldn't I have any other opinions about Zhang Ruoruo's vicious behavior? Could it be that the one from Ci'an Hall would just sit back and ignore it?
Wei Jingwei only glanced at her and knew what she was thinking, and said patiently: "If one day Aunt Zhang makes a big mistake, I can mention this matter. Now, I can only say a few words about her. It is not harmful to Aunt Zhang, but it will be difficult for Cuiyu to do things in the house in the future. You might as well go back to Zhuxi Courtyard and make Cuiyu's injury more serious, and delay it as long as you can. She is an inconspicuous maid, and she must be No one will blame me more."
Mammy sighed, "I understand."
