Tang Yuyao knelt down and saluted respectfully: "Master."
Zhao Ting was halfway through his gesture of showing her no courtesy, but he abruptly withdrew it.
Since Tang Yuyao was brought back from Chizhou City seven years ago, she worked with him as a maid for the first two years. Five years ago, the eldest maid in front of him was released to get married. Tang Yuyao, who had only been with him for two years at that time, was transferred to work as a maid. Big maid. After five years of getting along day and night, Zhao Ting thought he knew Tang Yuyao very well, but something was wrong with her today.
He responded in a low voice, turned around and sat down at the desk before raising his eyes to look at Tang Yuyao.
Tang Yuyao came back for five days. During these five days, she persuaded herself countless times to repay his kindness with her own life. From now on, she no longer owed him, and she did not need to hate him or blame him. But no matter how good I thought in private, when I really saw him, my heart was still full of grievances and resentments.
She is a living person!
He drove her away for the sake of his new wife. She was already gone, so why did he chase her away and kill her?
Does he know how painful it is to be thrown off by a crazy frightened horse? Being ordered to be killed by the person she had loved for seven years, her heart felt like it was being twisted with a knife! Seven years, even if there was no merit, there was still hard work, but she had served him conscientiously for seven years. How could he be so cruel?
Tang Yuyao bit her lower lip hard, did not turn around and close the door, but walked forward and knelt down with a plop.
Chen An, who was peeking outside the door to peek at the situation, was startled and almost screamed, what is Miss Yuyao doing?
Zhao Ting also stood up suddenly and said sternly: "What, someone is bullying you?"
Bully?
In this huge Prince An's palace, who else would dare to bully her except him, the master who could kill her?
Lowering her eyes slightly, not looking at the hypocritical concern, Tang Yuyao said in a very calm voice: "No one bullies this slave. I came here to ask my master to resign. After all, I have served my master in Prince An's Mansion for seven years, and now I want to leave. I feel a little reluctant to let go.”
"What?" Zhao Ting's hand fell on the desk and made a dull sound.
Tang Yuyao couldn't help shaking.
This person she used to like now makes her resentful and afraid. She can't anger him, otherwise he can kill her again. Just like in her previous life, she first endured psychological fear, and then physical pain. In the end, she couldn't help but feel life passing by little by little.
Tang Yuyao's silence made Zhao Ting dissatisfied. He called her by her first and last name: "Tang Yuyao, what did you just say?"
In another month, the marriage decree for the seventh prince, His Highness Prince An, will be delivered to Prince An's Mansion. By then, he will have a wife from the Mansion of the Minister of War. Lu Qinghe, the eldest daughter of Mr. Lu and his wife, has eyebrows as green as feathers and skin as white as snow. She is a woman with the reputation of "hibiscus is not as beautiful as beauty". After the imperial edict was issued, many people in the capital cast envious glances at Prince An's Mansion. Lu Qinghe was famous for his beauty and intelligence, not to mention that he had a father who was a minister of the Ministry of War. No wonder, no wonder he was eager to clean up all the mess for her before she even entered the house.
Yes, filth.
Tang Yuyao still remembered what Zhao Ting said in her previous life.
It was a beautiful day with the sun shining brightly. He asked her to come to the study and said, "Yuyao, please leave the house!"
She was so surprised that she forgot to reply and just looked at him in a daze.
How was he then?
Tang Yuyao finally raised her head. At this moment, Zhao Ting's face was stained with anger, his lips were pressed tightly, and his eyes were like cold stars. But what Tang Yuyao saw was him that day. He was tall and standing at the top, looking over with disgust and disgust. At that moment, she could hardly breathe.
His tone was full of disgust: "I am about to get married soon. Before the princess enters the palace, some dirty things must be dealt with first. So Yuyao, I have ordered Chen An to give you I’ll send you 500 taels of silver notes and 20 taels of odd silver. You can take it and go!”
Dirty?
Her? Is she the filth he said she was?
But after seven years with him, she had never done anything out of bounds! How could he...
She suddenly turned red-eyed. Trying his best to hold back his sobs, he replied: "Yes, slave... I'll leave early tomorrow morning."
There was a sneer at the top, followed by words that were so cold and bone-chilling: "Yuyao, if you can hide your thoughts from others, can you also hide your thoughts from me? Those thoughts you shouldn't have are my thoughts. You have served me for several years and don’t care about you, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t hate you! Okay, I have already ordered Lan Xiang to pack your things, so go back and get them and leave immediately!”
It was a beautiful sunny day, with bright sunshine, but she felt like she was trapped in a world of ice and snow.
The unspeakable embarrassment made her unable to look up at him anymore, and she couldn't even speak. She just nodded, then turned around and left. She walked until she was outside the door, then knelt down and kowtowed three times to the study. One is to thank him for saving her life back then, the other is to thank him for protecting her over the years, and the third... he gave her the money to settle down after she left. Even though the money was nothing to him, it was extremely important to her.
Although, she didn't take it when she left.
She didn't take the money he asked Chen An to send, nor did she ask for the rewards she had received over the years. She only took her monthly money. In seven years, from a young maid to a big maid, she had nothing to use money for, but she also saved it. It rained a lot. Leaving Prince An's Mansion and finding a small village would be enough for her to survive for the rest of her life.
But she would never have thought that her head would be in vain, and her thanks would be in vain.
She was killed by his men before she even left the city, and that day was even her twentieth birthday!
Tang Yuyao's heart was suddenly filled with resentment. She straightened her back, raised her head high, and said loudly: "The slave said that if the slave wants to leave, please ask the master for permission!"
leave!
Zhao Ting walked around the desk, strode up to Tang Yuyao, stretched out his hand, pulled Tang Yuyao up and hit him on the chest. But he didn't care and just asked: "Well, what nonsense are you talking about? Why leave?"
Tang Yuyao had never been so close to him. Even if she usually served him to change clothes, she was still at least half a step away. But at this moment, with such a strong pull from him, the two of them were almost stuck together. She had to hold her head high to stay as far away from him as possible.
Just as Zhao Ting felt that he understood Tang Yuyao, Tang Yuyao felt that she also understood Zhao Ting.
Even though she didn't expect that he would send someone to kill her in her previous life, she still felt that she understood Zhao Ting at least 70%.
He was angry.
He is a person who takes soft things rather than hard ones. When he is angry, no one will get any good from him if he bumps into him.
But at this moment, Tang Yuyao couldn't soften to him, even though she was scared in her heart and her legs were shaking a little. But she still held on and said: "Master, I want to leave. This is the result of careful consideration. I ask Master to grant it."
Zhao Ting looked at her with a frown and asked, "Why?"
Why?
It's time for men to get married, and it's time for women to get married. If you marry your princess, I will also marry my man.
Tang Yuyao said: "This slave is already twenty. Sister Mumei, whom I came to replace five years ago, was released to get married on her own when she turned twenty. This slave is old. If you don't hurry up, it may be difficult to find her." "
Mu Mei came out of the palace with Zhao Ting. Five years ago, when she turned twenty, Zhao Ting let her go out of the palace to marry the steward of the jade shop outside the palace. The year before last, she had given birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a boy, and Zhao Ting asked someone to give them a reward.
Yuyao...does she also want to marry someone else and give birth to children like Mumei?
But she clearly likes him!
She wanted to marry someone else, but he was the first to refuse!
Just thinking about this, Zhao Ting suddenly became furious. He slipped his hand down and landed on Tang Yuyao's slender waist. With a strong force, he held her tightly in his arms. Then he gritted his teeth and said, "Are you in love? who is it?"
