Tao Ye had no time to dodge, and the hem of her skirt was pulled hard.
When the maid hurriedly raised her head, Taoye recognized that the person in front of her was actually the second young master's second-in-law, Lu Tang.
Her hair was messy, her face was covered with tears, and there was some brown concoction at the corner of her mouth.
The child in your belly?
When Taoye looked down, Green Orange's other hand was tightly protecting her abdomen.
"Run, why don't you run? You little bitch!"
At this time, the three rough ladies from behind also caught up to him, each one panting heavily and cursing angrily.
"Drag people back!"
The leader said something, and the other two went up to pull Lutju.
"No, no..."
"Please, don't hurt my child, he is also the second young master's child!"
Luju held onto Taoye's skirt and hid behind her while pleading to several people.
"Child? The Second Young Madam hasn't come in yet. How can you, a lowly wife, be qualified to give birth to the master's heir? My aunt is kind and only lets you drink the medicine. Otherwise, it won't be unfair even if I beat you to death!"
"Hurry and drag her back to the yard to fill her with medicine. If you miss the master's turn, we won't get the good news!"
Those two rough women were broad-shouldered and round-waisted, so a delicate woman like Lu Ju could not withstand them. Soon Lu Ju's body was pulled away, leaving only the hand that was still tightly grasping the hem of Tao Ye's skirt. , even if the two women pinched and beat him, they refused to let go.
"Save me, don't...save me..."
The leader of the rough lady, who was rushing to do things, didn't even look at Tao Ye's face. Looking around, she looked like a maid in the mansion.
He stepped forward impatiently and opened the green and orange fingers one by one.
"Save me, save me..."
When being dragged away, Luju also tried to ask for help from Taoye.
Like a drowning man grasping the last straw, he refuses to give up.
But soon, several people disappeared at the entrance of the courtyard in front.
Taoye was stunned for a while, then lowered her head to straighten her rumpled skirt.
There were some dark blood stains on the green skirt, which should have been left by the woman when she pried off the green tangerine's fingers.
When Taoye passed by the door of the courtyard, she could still hear the faint and shrill screams, mixed with the second young master's impatient voice: "Hurry up, they are all howling and they are not done yet, why don't you let me?" Take good care of yourself!”
She continued walking to the backyard without pausing.
When they arrived at the sewing room, Xiuyin was leaning on the bed doing embroidery work.
"Peach leaves!"
When Xiuyin saw the person at the door happily putting down her embroidery booth, she stood up to greet him.
Taoye paused for a moment, then quickly stepped forward to support Xiuyin.
"What are you doing? The injury hasn't healed yet!"
As he said this, he helped Xiuyin to lie down on the bed.
"I'm fine, I can already walk!"
After using the medicine given by Taoye, Xiuyin's injuries on her back were already 70% healed.
"Then be careful. If you accidentally get the root of the disease, you will suffer a lot!"
Taoye shook his head, and when he saw the embroidery booth, he asked worriedly: "Your injury is not healed yet, why are you doing embroidery work? Is this what Mother Cai meant?"
After all, it was in the sewing room, Taoye said it very lightly.
"No, it's the chrysanthemum viewing banquet in two days. The old lady sent a message to the sewing room to prepare some new clothes for the second lady. This job came suddenly. The sewing room has been busy preparing winter clothes for the whole family recently, and the embroiderers are too busy! "
"I just talked to Cai's mother and brought some embroidery over, but don't worry, I won't touch the second lady's new clothes!"
Xiuyin hurriedly said something else.
"That's good!"
Taoye was really shocked just now.
"How have you been in the Fifth Young Master's yard recently? Have you been punished again?"
"Everything is fine!"
Taoye was secretly glad that the news of her punishment in the palace had not reached Xiuyin's ears, otherwise she would have been careless.
"Really? Taoye, you are the only friend I have in this house. Don't hide it from me or let me think wildly!"
Although Taoye's words were appropriate after she came in, Xiuyin always felt that this person was a little uninterested today.
"Something happened on the way here!"
Taoye looked outside the house, but no one was passing by, and continued in a low voice: "The green orange next to the second young master is probably pregnant. When I passed by, some rough women in Aunt Luo's yard were grabbing her and drinking milk. Medicine, the fetus should have been aborted by now!”
She spoke calmly, but Xiuyin grabbed her hand.
"Don't worry, I took all the medicine Madam rewarded me afterwards, this matter won't happen to me!"
Taoye comforted Xiuyin.
"Don't be discouraged. When the fifth young master gets married in the future... you will always be there..."
Xiuyin wanted to say something to comfort Taoye, but she couldn't say it completely.
"Okay, don't bother thinking about this. The fifth young master treats me well now. I may not be able to prosper in the future. Then..."
"Mom Cai!"
After hearing Xiuyin's words, Taoye turned around and looked outside. Standing at the door was Mama Cai, who was dressed as simply as usual.
“I’ve met Mama Cai!”
Tao Ye just wanted to reassure Xiu Yin, and her tone was deliberately relaxed and joyful. Although her voice was not high, it was not soft enough for people entering the door to hear.
Seeing Mama Cai's solemn face at this moment, I felt a rare panic.
"Hello, Miss Taoye!"
Mother Cai nodded expressionlessly and put the embroidery pattern in her hand beside the bed: "There are some changes in the pattern on Madam's clothes, follow this!"
"Xiu Yin knows!"
Xiu Yin's expression was more flustered than Tao Ye's, and she straightened up and responded.
"There's no need to rush, your injuries haven't healed yet, make sure to rest!"
After Cai's mother said this, she turned around and went out.
Taoye thought for a moment, then got up and followed.
"Mother Cai, please wait!"
Taoye chased out the door and shouted.
"Is there something wrong with Miss Taoye?"
Mother Cai turned back and said calmly.
"What I said just now was just a joke between Xiuyin and me. That's not what I thought in my heart!"
If it hadn't been for Mother Cai, she would have been tainted by the steward. Later, when she was chosen to go to the Madam's courtyard, it was Mother Cai who spoke for her.
She didn't know why Cai's mother took care of her like this, but she always remembered this kindness.
Later, after becoming a first-class maid beside the madam, I also sent gifts to Cai's mother, but they were rejected.
"Girl, life is not easy in the house now. You need to remember to be careful in your words and deeds at all times, and don't let others easily find mistakes!"
Mother Cai looked at the pretty and pretty girl in front of her, with a look of embarrassment after doing something wrong. She looked dazed for a moment, sighed in her heart, and gave her instructions.
"Thank you, Mama Cai, for teaching me! Taoye will definitely remember your words!"
Taoye bowed her body respectfully and bowed to express her thanks.
After watching the figure walk away, she returned to the house.
"It's okay, I just said a few words to Mama Cai and asked her to take care of you more until you recover!"
Taoye smiled and comforted Xiuyin.
"Sister Xiuyin, your medicine is here!"
The two of them didn't say a few words when a little maid who had just grown her hair came in with her head lowered and a bowl of medicine.
"Why are your eyes red? Who bullied you?"
