It seemed like the cry of a young woman. She was probably trying to suppress her voice, but her sobbing became more severe. It sounded like it was coming from the garden.
The only young mistress in the mansion now is the second lady, who should be a maid.
The lady in the Duke's Mansion is gentle and gentle, and Aunt Yang and the Fourth Young Master are also kind-hearted people, but the other masters are ruthless and ruthless, and many of the stewards in the Mansion have deceived others.
Taoye didn't want to cause trouble and walked forward.
At this time, the little maid's laughter could already be heard in the garden.
As soon as Taoye passed the gate of the garden, someone came out in a hurry with his head lowered. She had deliberately walked a few steps faster, but this person came out suddenly, and the two of them bumped into each other.
Taoye took a few steps back and held on to the wall, but the man screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
She subconsciously went to help someone, but when she saw that the person was Qiulian, the eldest young master's first wife, she stopped and pretended to be hurt by the impact.
"Sister Qiulian, are you okay?"
The eldest young master is a sweet talker and a sharp sword. Although she has never said a few words to Qiulian, she is also a very scheming person.
This collision happened to hit her arm. Qiulian's movement of covering her arm made Taoye's eyes move down a bit. Because she fell to the ground, the cuffs of Qiulian's light green jacket moved upwards, and there was a movement on her wrist. A circle of bruises was clearly visible, and there seemed to be some redness under the scars.
Qiulian is the eldest young master's first wife, so naturally she can't do rough work. How could she have such an injury on her body?
Taoye was surprised, but she moved her eyes to Qiulian's face again.
Qiu Lian, who was on the ground, looked painful for a while, and hurriedly pushed herself up: "It's okay, it's okay!"
After standing firm, Qiulian turned her body half away, pulled down her sleeves, and distanced herself from Tao Ye. She seemed to think of something: "I was just angry at the sarcastic words of those maids, so sister Tao Ye What a joke!"
As he spoke, he lowered his head and wiped his red and slightly swollen eyes with Ropa.
"As long as Sister Qiulian is fine, I'll leave first!"
Taoye didn't stay too long and passed by Qiulian with a smile.
The place where she was hit was extremely painful, but seeing that Taoye didn't pull her to talk, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief behind her.
With this section, she didn't dare to stay here and cry anymore, but she definitely couldn't go back with this look. If people in the yard looked at her and said it in front of the eldest young master, it would definitely be no good to her. .
But walking faster would affect the wounds on her body. Seeing that there was no one around, she had no choice but to shrink down and walk slowly.
Taoye, who was walking to the front yard, thought of Qiulian's expression and movements, as well as the injury on her wrist that she had just seen, with a thoughtful look on her face.
For some reason, she suddenly remembered the lion cat that the young master had killed in the yard of the late wife when she first entered the Duke's mansion.
But when she returned to the house, she put the matter aside for the time being. It was the fifth young master's birthday in three days, and she had to pack her purse as soon as possible.
After lunch, Taoye squinted on the bed for two quarters of an hour. After meeting her eldest brother, she cherished her body even more.
Then he picked up the needle and thread and continued to embroider the purse, and by the way, he released the little silver fox.
Anyway, the little silver fox is very well-behaved and smart. He can only move around in the yard and will not go outside on his own.
In the evening, Taoye did not see Rong Jiu, but Xingyun sent two large food boxes over.
"Miss Taoye, the fifth young master gave an order before he left. If he doesn't come back before dinner, these meals will be sent to the girl!"
Seeing the confusion on Tao Ye's face, Xingyun said sternly.
Gu Yunqing loves her son very much, and the small kitchen in the main courtyard does not use the expenses of a public school. Rong Jiu's dinner consists of four meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes and one soup.
Taoye couldn't eat all this by himself, so he asked Xingyun to take away the meat and vegetables, and asked Nanyun's mother to share it with Nanyun and the three of them.
But after thinking about it for a moment, she kept the cup of black-bone chicken and sea cucumber soup and warmed it with boiling hot water.
The fifth young master's absence today was probably because of yesterday's incident with the jade porcelain vase. He might be too busy to eat, so she wouldn't miss something that could easily win her favor.
But Taoye waited until the end of Youshi, and Rongjiu didn't show up.
She asked Nan Yun to rest first, while she read a book under the lamp.
Just after reading two pages of the book, there was a noise outside.
Taoye hurriedly put down the book, found a tray to carry the cup of warm chicken soup, and walked out of the west wing, only to find that the fifth young master did not go back to the bedroom, but went to the study.
Seeing that the door was open and no one was outside, Taoye took a step in but stopped at the door.
"roll!"
But before she could speak, she heard an angry shout coming from inside.
Is this the fifth young master’s voice?
She had seen the fifth young master look like when he was angry, but she had never seen such obvious anger.
I secretly regretted that I came at the wrong time.
Just as he was about to retreat, the people inside walked towards the door for some unknown reason.
"Fifth Young Master, please forgive me. I will go down now!"
Taoye remembered that when she was in the academy, the fifth young master had tormented her all night because of his bad mood. Her body shook involuntarily and she subconsciously tightened the tray in her hand.
"Come in!"
Rong Jiu saw the person in front of him lowering his head desperately, as if he was frightened, so he couldn't help but lower his voice.
In this way, Taoye had no choice but to carry the tray and cautiously enter the house.
"I don't know if the fifth young master has had dinner outside, so I took it upon myself to keep this cup of soup!"
Taoye lowered her head and said softly.
"Put it over there!"
Looking at the heavy cup of soup in the little maid's hand, the coldness on Rong Jiu's face melted away. She pointed to the bookcase in front of her and walked over.
"Aren't you going to give me a drink?"
Seeing Taoye put the tray beside the desk and stood with her hands down, Rong Jiu tilted her head and said.
"yes!"
Taoye responded and scooped out a bowl of soup very neatly. Because she kept changing the hot water to warm water, the soup was still a little steamy when she scooped it out.
There was a slight heat in front of her eyes, and the people standing next to her were clearly not showing off at all like Qingxing and Qingmei when they served at the table, but Rong Jiu felt that the little maid at this time was particularly eye-catching.
After a bowl of chicken soup, the warmth in my stomach spread to my face.
Taoye guessed that the fifth young master liked it, so she filled another bowl and handed it over.
"Have you drank?"
When she drank the third bowl, Rong Jiu scooped it up twice with a spoon but did not put it into her mouth.
"No, this is specially reserved for the fifth young master!"
How dare she give her leftover meals to her master.
"Then drink!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the untouched bowl of soup was placed in front of him.
"Thank you, Fifth Young Master!"
Taoye stooped down and took it. The chicken soup was delicious, hot but not scalding to the mouth. After drinking it, his whole body felt warm.
"Fifth Young Master!"
As soon as Taoye put down the bowl, a cautious voice came from outside the door.
