The dull pain coming from behind made tears well up in Taoye's eyes.
"Fifth Young Master, please spare this slave. I will listen to you in everything!"
No matter how painful it was, she had to take care of her own life. Taoye slid down, hugged Rong Jiu's thigh and began to plead softly.
"Yeah?"
Rong Jiu seemed to be moved by the pitiful appearance of pear blossoms in the rain, and bent down to help the person on the ground up.
"I swear, if I betray the Fifth Young Master, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!"
Seeing Rong Jiu sit down on the innermost chair, Taoye immediately followed her, knelt down again and swore without hesitation.
"Let's put this matter aside for now. I still have something to ask you, young master?"
"Fifth Young Master, please tell me. This slave must tell you everything you know."
Taoye knelt straight.
"Are you afraid of the eldest young master?"
Hearing this sentence, Taoye trembled slightly. This was a natural reaction. Rong Jiu saw it and felt a little strange.
"Why?"
His eldest brother has always been gentle and kind to the outside world, and he is also kind to the servants who have made mistakes in the house, and everyone in the house praises him.
Taoye lowered her head and dared not speak, but she knew that every move she made would be seen. She thought about it, raised her head, and said in a timid voice: "Because I once saw the eldest young master torture and kill the eldest young master with his own hands." The lion cat raised by the young lady had all four legs broken, its claws were pulled out, and then strangled to death bit by bit, the cat screamed terribly!"
It had only been a month since she had entered the mansion, and she had not yet served in the main courtyard. She was ordered by several second-class maids to clean the first lady's courtyard. After the first lady left, no one lived in the courtyard. It was very deserted and the maids were unwilling to go there. Go over there.
There were several maids who went there that day, but in the end those maids were lazy and she was the only one left. She had just put the fallen leaves in the basket and moved them outside the yard to get water to wipe the furniture in the main house. Unexpectedly, As soon as I turned to the back, I heard a shrill meow. I was so frightened that I stopped walking quickly. When I looked around, I saw that scene.
She didn't expect that the usually gentle and gentle young master would do such a cruel thing. Taoye was shocked and confused at that moment, but she also knew that she must not be discovered, otherwise she would end up the same as that poor white cat. different.
Therefore, she kept hiding under the tree without making a sound, and when the people left, she collapsed on the ground.
"Because of that incident, I have been staying away from the young master..."
It had been a long time since that incident, but she still remembered the cat's sad cry, so Taoye's face turned a little pale as she spoke.
"That's it! Get up!"
Rong Jiu got the answer, and the overwhelming aura on her body became much lighter.
Taoye responded in a low voice and was about to push herself up, but the burning pain in her back and the stinging pain from her knee suddenly falling to the ground made her stagger and almost fall over.
"How squeamish!"
Rong Jiu leaned down and pulled the person up from the ground. Just as he was about to throw him on the couch, he was hugged softly around the waist: "Fifth young master, please be gentle, it hurts!"
When she was gently placed on the couch, Taoye breathed a sigh of relief. Her back was covered with bruises and bruises. If she was thrown down, it would hurt her to death.
Rong Jiu glanced at the people on the couch, turned around and walked behind Duobaoge.
Taoye turned over and lay on her stomach. Although the warm jade mat on the couch was expensive, it was so hard that it hurt her back.
Not long after lying down, a small celadon bottle was placed in front of me: "Add the medicine yourself!"
When she saw someone frowning and enduring the pain, Rong Jiu suddenly remembered the marks on the maid's back when she bent down to pick up her clothes last night.
"My slave, thank you, Fifth Young Master!"
Taoye stood up and held it in his hand with a look of emotion.
Rong Jiu walked behind the bookcase without looking back.
Taoye didn't care. He opened the bottle in his hand and smelled a wonderful smell, which was not at all like the pungent wound medicine commonly used by people in the mansion.
He took off his shirt while sitting on his knees, dug out the ointment with his index finger, kneaded it in the palm of his hand, and then wiped it on his back. The lower parts were okay, but the upper parts were difficult to reach. If you were not careful, After pressing the heaviest bruise, Taoye couldn't help but let out a cry, and with another movement, the pained cries came out again and again.
As soon as Rong Jiu put the dagger he had just taken out back into the box, he saw the little maid on the couch leaning on the couch with one hand on the couch and groping behind her with a trembling hand. From time to time she would make a cooing sound. Damn familiar.
He could even hear the whispers of the servants outside.
If it weren't for the fact that this maid was of some use and had accidentally helped him just now, I really wanted to throw him out.
"Fifth Young Master?"
Tao Ye was bearing the pain with a pale face when she caught a glimpse of a sapphire blue brocade robe. She raised her head with difficulty in the correct posture, just in time to meet Rong Jiu's eyes.
"Lie down!"
Rong Jiu glanced at the person on the couch. His white Ruxue back was covered with bruises and bruises. The wound on his vest was the most serious, running through the entire back, even showing some black and purple. It was really terrible. His anger subsided a little, and then Thinking of the origin of this scar, he swallowed back the reprimand that came to his mouth.
Tao Ye on the couch obeyed obediently, her head resting on her folded hands.
It's a pity that Rong Jiu has been taken care of since she was a child. The movements of applying medicine on her hands are light and heavy, which makes the whole body of the person underneath tremble: "Uh-huh... Fifth Young Master... Young Master, it hurts... …lighter……"
"Bear it..."
After enduring it for a while, Rong Jiu still scolded him. I wonder if he was too eager, but the voice was louder, and a slight annoyance appeared on his handsome face.
After finally applying the medicine, the person on the bed had cold sweat on his face, and a few strands of hair were wetly stuck to the side of his face. Seeing this embarrassed look, Rong Jiu just sighed that his mother was really pampering the maid around him.
"Slave, go get some water for you to wash your hands!"
After Taoye tied her clothes, she was about to get down and go to fetch water outside the door, but as soon as one foot reached the embroidered shoes, she was hugged by Rong Jiu who suddenly turned around: "You are not allowed to go out, just stay here!"
Rong Jiu stopped the scolding, picked up the teapot from the table next to him and poured some water into the palm of his hand.
"We won't open the door until lunch time!"
After saying this, Rong Jiu stood up, turned around the Duobao grid, and went inside again.
When no one was in sight, Taoye sat on the couch and looked at the furnishings outside.
The step-wife came from the wealthy Yongning Hou Mansion. It is said that the dowry was so rich that it spread throughout Shengjing for more than a month.
Therefore, everything in the study was worth a thousand dollars. She didn't know the value of the peach leaves, the four treasures of the study, but the warm jade mat under her body, she heard the lady mention casually, would cost enough for the entire Duke's residence. The moon of a person's year is silver.
Everyone in the world said that the youngest son of Duke Jingguo was a dandy, and it seemed so from these things. But Taoye knew that this was not the true face of the fifth young master. If what she thought was right, the fifth young master should have been testing him in the garden just now. The eldest young master's reaction.
Not long after he was picked up, the eldest young master appeared behind him. What a coincidence.
