"Madam is really nice. From the day you brought me back, Madam has really taken good care of me."
Tao Yao smiled and said, even she noticed how awkward the atmosphere was, but Lu Xuan didn't care at all. Maybe in his opinion, this was what his wife should do.
Although this is indeed the rule in this era, you can deceive others but cannot deceive your own heart. Which woman is willing to share her husband with so many women?
How is it possible to accept it graciously and happily?
Cheng Qingyue really liked Tao Yao a little more. She didn't have much affection for her husband, and she couldn't feel any sincere jealousy. She just felt that the more women in the backyard, the more trouble she would have. Yes, it's just a bit dazzling.
After finishing the meal, Cheng Qingyue took Tao Yao to her house and had people prepare a lot of medicine for injuries.
"How come you are so good at talking today? Aren't you usually very stubborn? You never admit your mistakes and always want to anger adults. Now that you have suffered, do you know how to live?"
Cheng Qingyue pulled Tao Yao to sit down. Perhaps she could smell the medicine on her body as she was close, but it seemed that this sin was not in vain. It would be much smarter to suffer it once.
"Yes, Madam is right, don't quarrel with anyone you have problems with. In the past, I was always obsessed with making a distinction between right and wrong, but it was also my own misfortune that made me suffer.
It would be better to say a few nice words to make yourself feel better, but in fact it doesn't matter. "
Taoyao smiled mockingly to herself. She was a fairy who had lived for a thousand years, so she naturally knew how to live. But Chuxue was different. She didn't understand these rules and calculations.
I just entrusted my whole heart to Lu Xuan, feeling that he was a gentle person, a good person, and the person who saved me.
In fact, it was all wrong from the beginning. Lu Xuan is no different from those gangsters who covet her, but the form and method are a little gentler and can confuse people.
"Actually, at first, I was a little dissatisfied with the adults bringing you back, but you have no one to rely on and can only stay here. Gradually, I have acquiesced."
Cheng Qingyue reached out and brushed the strands of hair from Tao Yao's face behind her ears. It was precisely because she knew how cruel the fight in the backyard was when she was young, so she thought that she would never repeat such a fate.
Never become a madman with so many calculations, and never do so many cruel and vicious things for a man.
"I also know about Haitang's little tricks in private, but my husband always favors her. What can I say? You are too young to see through these things, so you have suffered a lot and been punished a lot. This time you Have you learned well?"
Cheng Qingyue treated her like the youngest sister in the family, coaxing her gently.
The other person was so much younger than her, and he looked so well-behaved in front of her, so she naturally wanted to love him more.
"Well, I've learned my lesson," Tao Yao bit her lip in embarrassment and nodded pitifully.
"In the past, you were always at odds with Haitang, and you weren't as loved as her husband who could talk to her. But now do you know? There's nothing more important than fighting her. You want to get your husband's favor."
Cheng Qingyue couldn't help but smile, and reached out to pinch Chuxue's face. She remembered that she was very thin when she first brought it back, but now she has gained some muscle.
It seems that staying at home is still a better destination. At least she can eat warm and not freeze. What's more, she has grown up slowly and looks so good-looking. If she is sent away, who knows what will happen to her will be even more terrifying. thing.
"Thank you, madam, for teaching me. I understand everything. Now that I think about it, I just feel how stupid I was in the past. I let Madam Haitang scheme for nothing and received so much punishment."
Tao Yao said aggrievedly that the other ladies were content with each other, but Haitang was the only one with a lot of thoughts. Not only did Chu Xue suffer a lot, but she also often resented Cheng Qing Yue.
But she was the one who had been with Lu Xuan for the longest time, and she looked quite seductive, so Lu Xuan had a certain place in her heart.
"It's good that you can think clearly. I know you are young and can't learn this yet, but no matter what, you are now my husband's. Just don't let yourself suffer anymore."
Cheng Qingyue looked worried, "This time you have recovered well. I'm afraid Haitang will not let you go. Do you have to think clearly about what to do in the future? I guess you can't compare to her in terms of mind."
"No matter how she is, she's just a concubine. My wife is your true wife. I'm not afraid of my wife standing by my side!"
Tao Yao said coquettishly, in fact, Cheng Qingyue was bedridden because she had no one to rely on and felt that her life was in a haze. In the end, her energy was gone.
"You have become so good at talking!"
Cheng Qingyue couldn't help but laugh, feeling that Chuxue today was really cute and adorable.
"Madam is so kind. I can't help but feel happy in front of her. I don't feel like I have so much pressure when getting along with adults!"
Tao Yao actually said what she said sincerely, because she really felt the same way.
In front of Lu Xuan, you need to pretend to please, pretending to like him very much, it is nothing more than pretending to be innocent and cute.
But in front of Cheng Qingyue, she was like a little sister, because it could be seen that she really loved her as her youngest sister, and there were no inexplicable calculations in her eyes.
Tao Yao returned to her room and didn't see the girl waiting beside her, so she knew that the girl was lazy again.
The serving girl beside Chuxue was named Furong, and she was naturally good at adding insult to injury. It was obvious that Chuxue was young and didn't understand the rules in the backyard. She soon fell out of favor with Lu Xuan, and she didn't care at all when she served.
At first, he was just so-so, but later he became more and more excessive. He dared not listen to Chuxue's orders, and even dared to talk back to him every time he spoke.
Taoyao left the house and went to the courtyard next to her. Sure enough, she saw that girl Fu Rong sitting on the steps and being lazy.
"All the fallen leaves in the yard have fallen to the ground, haven't you swept them up yet?"
Tao Yao shouted loudly, knowing that this girl was the most bully and afraid of the strong. Usually Chu Xue spoke gently and softly, but the other party was not afraid at all and dared to keep talking back.
Furong was originally in a sweet dream, and when she heard the shout, she woke up with fright, but she calmly stood up and looked at Taoyao.
"Mrs. Xue, what's going on? Didn't Sir just ask you to kneel as a punishment? Why are you still looking so unruly after kneeling? If Sir saw it, he would definitely not like it!"
Furong was not afraid of this young bratty girl. She was just an orphan brought back from somewhere by the adults. She didn't know the rules and didn't know how to talk sweetly.
After only a few months, he was already disliked by adults. How could he be better than Mrs. Haitang?
"Is this the way you talk to me?"
Taoyao smiled slightly. Chuxue was young and didn't understand this. She didn't know how to say it back when faced with Furong's talk back.
What's more, she just thinks that being brought back is a great gift, and she doesn't dare to ask for anything else.
But Taoyao was different. When could he be so angry?
"What kind of identity does Madam Xue think she is? Do you think she is as noble as Madam, or do you think she is as popular as Madam Haitang?"
Furong was not afraid at all. During this period of time, Mrs. Xue had long been unpopular with adults, not to mention she was not so bold as to teach her servants a lesson.
The next second, she received a heavy slap on her face. Furong covered her face and looked at the person in front of her in shock. She had never thought that such a cowardly person would have such a proud and firm expression on his face.
"I don't feel that I have a noble status, nor do I feel that I am loved by adults. I just feel really bored looking at you like this. What you say with your mouth is like a fly buzzing!"
Tao Yao clapped her hands after the beating. This Fu Rong said so many humiliating words, but in the end it was the straw that broke the camel's back and she immediately took refuge in Hai Tang.
It was just a slap, and she deserved it.
"Mrs. Snow!"
Fu Rong covered her face and trembled all over. Faced with the fact that she had really been slapped, she had not yet reacted. Even if she did, she would not know what to do.
Is it possible that she can fight back? This is impossible!
"I don't expect you to treat me like a eldest lady, but don't try to put pressure on me. Since you are in my yard, you must know that you have to be obedient and not You are allowed to talk nonsense in front of me!"
Tao Yao's eyes were cold, and she could see that Furong was still very unconvinced. To be precise, she had never looked down on Chu Xue, and she felt that being able to bring back Chu Xue, a helpless girl, was a gift.
He never treated her as his real master, so he later turned to Haitang and worked with her to devise various strategies to trample her into the mud.
Therefore, Chu Xue has always been lonely and helpless. Lu Xuan only has a little bit of freshness towards her, and will be forgotten when the freshness is used up.
Then he went to look for the next novelty, so that there were more and more beauties in the backyard. He knew clearly that if there were too many people, there would be quarreling and scheming, but he didn't care at all.
I just want all your women in the backyard to live in harmony and not to bother him if anything happens.
Haitang has always been intolerant of Chuxue, and she only suffers from all kinds of schemes, not to mention that Fu Rong, who serves around her, also looks down on her.
Putting the two together, it is really impossible to live in this home.
But fortunately, Cheng Qingyue gave Chuxue her only kindness, so that her life finally had some light, and it was not all endless darkness.
It's just that Cheng Qingyue can't protect herself, and she lives a miserable life. In this era with many rules, she seems to have become a victim.
