Furong was intimidated by the aura emanating from Taoyao, and she didn't dare to speak for a long time.
If it were any other time, she would have already talked back, but now looking at Taoyao's eyes, she really didn't dare to say anything.
"Yes Yes."
Furong nodded quickly. In terms of status, she was indeed just a servant serving others.
In the past, Mrs. Xue had a cowardly temperament and did not dare to care about these things at all. If she does now, she will only suffer the loss.
"It's good to know that you were wrong. From now on, you know what to say and what to do in front of me, so don't make me unhappy again!"
There is still use in keeping Fu Rong around now, and Taoyao doesn't plan to replace her now. Otherwise, who will cooperate with Haitang's plan in the future?
"Yes, I don't dare anymore. I don't dare anymore."
Furong could only lower her head and admit her mistake. In this situation, she couldn't allow herself to talk back like before, but she didn't know when Mrs. Xue became so powerful.
"It's getting late. Why don't you prepare hot water? Do you want me to do it myself?"
Tao Yao's eyes were cold, and it wasn't like she couldn't tell that Fu Rong was not convinced at all. Those eyes were still moving around, making it clear that she would definitely do something in the future.
"yes!"
Furong hurriedly went down to prepare hot water. Now seeing Mrs. Xue like this, she felt a little bit unbiased. Seeing this situation, she could only be obedient before speaking.
After washing up, Taoyao sat on the bed and looked at her knees, which were still red.
Fortunately, she cast a spell to cover up her pain. If it were the real Chuxue, she would definitely suffer a lot.
In fact, Chuxue just couldn't understand how to live the most useful life in the backyard, let alone the calculations. Of course, the one she couldn't understand the most was Lu Xuan.
She regarded Lu Xuan as her biggest support, which was a mistake from the beginning. Since it was a wrong start, it would inevitably bring bad results.
Lu Xuan's wife, Cheng Qingyue, was also living a miserable life, and Chuxue was no better.
In addition to her and Haitang, there were three other ladies in the backyard. They were just so-so and obeyed the rules, but they didn't have that many calculations.
It's just that Cheng Qingyue is the only one who has good intentions towards Chuxue. He doesn't covet her or care about her, but he just truly feels sorry for her.
Early the next morning, Fu Rong followed suit and waited outside early to prepare to serve Tao Yao. She could see that Tao Yao's temper had changed a bit and she didn't dare to slack off like before.
After Taoyao had breakfast, she sat and read for a while. She keenly heard the sounds coming from outside, and frowned, with a flash of disgust in her eyes.
"Yesterday, I made my sister Chuxue punished. I feel really sorry. When my sister was punished to kneel down, I even asked someone to bring tea, but my sister didn't appreciate it at all. It doesn't matter. My sister is young and ignorant. Today I will personally Come and take a look!”
Listening to the somewhat artificial sound, she knew it was Haitang who was coming. The moment she stepped into the room, Taoyao felt uncomfortable all over.
It was Chuxue who was really uncomfortable. Haitang had given her so much suffering, so how could she not feel any resentment?
Taoyao tried her best to calm down and suppress the resentment. It didn't matter. This Haitang had many ways to deal with her!
"Why did Sister Haitang come here in person? Usually every time you come here, I will be unlucky. It seems that the two of us have some conflicts and are not suitable for meeting every day!"
Taoyao put down her book, but had no intention of starting. She just looked at Haitang with a smile.
"What kind of nonsense is Sister Chuxue talking about?" Haitang's pretty brows wrinkled slightly, "You are young and can't speak, so I won't care about it, but if an adult hears it, I will punish you. You knelt down so much yesterday It’s been a long time, don’t you still have a long memory?”
Mentioning what happened yesterday, Haitang was obviously a little uncomfortable. She had indeed knelt for such a long time, but she didn't expect to be hugged back by the adult herself.
Could it be that he has softened his heart and cherished his beauty?
"Sister Haitang is indeed much older than me, so she is naturally good at talking, especially when she talks nonsense in front of adults!"
Tao Yao sarcastically said that the reason why Chu Xue had to kneel for so long was just because of those trivial things. She only felt that she was right, so why did she slander herself for no reason?
In addition, Haitang stirred up trouble in front of Lu Xuan, so she was punished by kneeling for three hours. This was just an ordinary trivial matter. She had suffered all kinds of losses from Haitang.
Faced with such ridicule, Haitang couldn't help but raised her red lips and showed only a smile.
"I won't argue with Sister Chuxue about this. You are young, so I should let you go."
She really does look like a kind-hearted big sister. She has always been calm and will not argue with these words. What's more, there is no point in arguing with them. The important thing is to catch the adults. heart of.
No matter how bad a stinky girl Chuxue is, her age is here. To put it nicely, she is naive and simple, but to put it badly, she is stupid. She will never admit her mistakes and always has to be stubborn to the extreme, which is annoying!
"Sister Haitang came here just to see me today. Didn't you say you care about me? I knelt for so long yesterday, what kind of medicine did you bring?"
Tao Yao suddenly smiled sweetly again and glanced at the maid Cai Wei behind Hai Tang. She didn't see anything she had brought with her. It seemed that she came empty-handed this time!
He didn't expect Taoyao to say such things. Haitang smiled sheepishly and had no intention of bringing anything here today.
What a joke. I wish this stinky girl would suffer more. How could I bring something to see her?
"It's a joke for my sister. I'm really too worried about you, so I didn't prepare anything. If my sister needs anything, just tell me. Whatever I want, the adults will naturally give it to me!"
Haitang reached out and touched the hair beside her ears. Her nails were dyed bright red with impatiens juice, making her hands as white as snow.
Compared to the younger Chuxue, she is more mature and charming.
Tao Yao lowered her eyes, a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes, and her words were a secret show off.
In fact, she really felt that women in this world seemed to live a very twisted and unhappy life, always having to face the constraints of various rules.
Either you live in confusion like Cheng Qingyue, or you are like Haitang, who willingly accepts a man as your everything and goes to fight with other women.
Seeing Taoyao ignoring her and just flipping through the book casually, Haitang also felt that she was asking for trouble. Compared with before, this girl was much better behaved and knew that it was time to shut up.
This usually happens at the slightest moment. Maybe what she said just now made it so obvious. Did she just say that she didn't care at all?
"Then sister, just have a good rest, and I won't bother you here. I think you still need me to serve you."
Haitang smiled slightly. Instead of wasting time here, it is better to spend more time on adults. Only the love from adults is the most important.
"What were you doing standing outside just now?"
After Haitang left, Taoyao shouted outside that as a person who served her, Furong would only stand outside, which meant that she had never treated her like a master. No wonder she would seek refuge with Haitang in the future.
"I don't dare to provoke Mrs. Haitang."
After Furong came in, she lowered her head aggrievedly. How could she dare to come in in this situation?
"If you don't dare to provoke her, then aren't you afraid of making me angry? Who is your master?"
Tao Yao couldn't help but laugh. One could only imagine what kind of life the real Chu Xue lived.
"Get out of here, don't be an eyesore in front of me!"
Taoyao waved her hands, not wanting to get entangled in these matters. That Haitang was already full of bad intentions, but she was the only one in the backyard, so how could this work?
Lu Xuan was not busy today, so he practiced calligraphy in the study. However, no matter how he wrote or read, he still couldn't restrain the impulse in his heart.
It's strange, it's really strange, why does he always miss Chuxue?
The feeling of distress and love seemed to be overflowing from his body, but he didn't want Chuxue to come over at this moment. He wanted to control it, and didn't want to be immersed in women all the time.
The longer I endured it, the more confused my mind became. If I didn't pay attention as I wrote, the words I just wrote would get mixed up. I simply put down the pen and didn't want to write anymore.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and it was Haitang who brought tea, and she skillfully showed a charming smile.
"My lord, you have been practicing calligraphy for a long time. Please drink some tea."
Haitang poured a cup of tea and walked over, intending to hand it to Lu Xuan himself. Normally, the other party would have taken it, but this time he didn't notice and was pushed away without holding it, causing the teacup to fall to the ground.
Haitang was shocked, but she didn't expect that she was pushed away with such force.
"Nothing." Lu Xuan shook his head. He didn't mind this and took Haitang's hand to the window. From this angle, he could see the place where Taoyao was kneeling yesterday.
Lu Xuan looked in that direction and felt that his heart was getting hotter and boiling. He really wanted to see Chuxue right now.
"What happened yesterday? I was angry at that time, and Chuxue couldn't explain why she would only contradict me, so I made her kneel for so long. Now that I think about it, it shouldn't be that simple."
"grown ups?"
Haitang's heart tightened. Sure enough, what she said yesterday was true. Is the Lord really showing pity for Chuxue?
Otherwise, why would you ask about this matter? In the past, the adults would never ask about it again. This time, when I asked again, it was clear that I felt sorry for Chuxue!
This bitch!
"It's not a big deal. Sister Chuxue can't speak at a young age. She likes to be in the spotlight. Maybe it's because she has been punished a few times that she will grow up slowly. I think this is good, as it can make my sister Grow up early.”
Haitang forced out a smile, feeling a little panicked.
This Chuxue doesn't seem to be as simple as it seems. I thought that I didn't think much about it these days, but I didn't expect that I had saved it.
He was deliberately punished to look like this just to make the adults feel sad. He really risked his life to survive!
Lu Xuan was still looking in that direction. He didn't know whether he listened to Haitang's words or not, and he didn't react. This made Haitang more and more uneasy.
This is not a good sign. Now adults are willing to waste their thoughts on Chuxue, and they will only pay more and more attention to her in the future, not to mention that Chuxue is still so young and beautiful.
"grown ups?"
Haitang reached out and gently pulled on Lu Xuan's sleeve, trying to bring the other person's attention back to her.
Lu Xuan looked back at Haitang. Her face was still so charming, but she didn't seem to have the same heartbeat as before, because all that flashed in his mind at the moment was another face.
She is so innocent and simple, so rebellious, and sometimes she will say many things to contradict herself. Yesterday, I just wanted to teach her a lesson, but I didn't expect that she had knelt for so long, and her knees were red and swollen. It was really frustrating. People feel sad.
"You are right. Only after you have been punished and endured hardship can you know how to grow up."
Lu Xuan nodded slightly.
