He wanted to make himself beg him.
Song Jinyin thought hard.
In fact, Pei Yanzhou's hatred for her seemed to have faded a lot in the past few years.
I don’t remember when he started, but he gradually became cruel to her again, until after the fire, he completely broke out and returned to the freezing point.
The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment, and finally Song Jinyin chuckled, causing the man holding the pen to move.
Her voice was soft, and her uninjured hand was steadily studying the ink. The edge of her rolled-up cyan sleeve rested on her snow-white and delicate skin, revealing a slender wrist.
"The prince said this as if the prince's bed is not clean."
As if she was deliberately irritated, Song Jinyin did not open her eyes, her eyes rested on the thick ink: "If Brother Yan'an wants to save me, it will definitely not be because of the body of the slave. The prince does not need to be so suspicious of his former friend. "
Pei Yanzhou tightened his fingertips, and a dark color flashed through his deep pupils, as if he had experienced a silent shower. It took a long time for the sinister bird of prey to completely dissipate.
The imaginary anger did not come.
The man followed the drop of ink on the paper and slowly drew the outline of a horse.
No one mentioned what happened today again.
It was quiet in the study.
When Lin Jingxiu came over, Song Jinyin was standing in the corner, as if she was invisible, and he couldn't help but take a second look.
He couldn't say he disliked or liked Song Jinyin. His only impression was her good looks.
It's just that people like them, surrounded by many women, rarely really take a girl to their heart, especially a maid.
No matter how beautiful you are, if your status is not enough, everything is nothing.
His eyes moved around Song Jinyin's bandaged hand, and finally fell back on Pei Yanzhou.
"None of the girls in Qianjin Pavilion are cheap. You left so fast last night. It's a good thing that others took the immortal over, but I saw that the girl seemed to have never forgotten you, and she even secretly gave instructions. Maid, come and ask me about your preferences."
Pei Yanzhou raised his eyes and glanced at him. The coldness in his eyes made people's hearts skip a beat.
"Don't look at me like that."
Lin Jingxiu looked for a seat and sat down, "Now that I know you have no interest in those girls, I naturally don't dare to talk about you anymore. Even if our Majesty asks about it in the future, I will never say a word."
Seeing that look away, Lin Jingxiu breathed a sigh of relief. What happened last night was indeed his fault.
Song Jinyin stood in the corner, her back straight, her eyes falling neatly on the small area in front of her. Just hearing these words, her fingertips trembled, and she couldn't help but think of the woman's fragrance last night, who had been gone for a while.
"Will you go to the Ye family's banquet half a month from now or not?"
Lin Jingxiu remembered the purpose of coming here today.
The Ye family is now valued by the superiors, and the Ye family master is obviously going to pay homage to the prime minister. This banquet is naturally extremely lively.
"Someone in the mansion will go."
"What the Ye family brothers and sisters want to see is you. Don't blame me for not reminding you. There have been a lot of rumors outside these days."
Lin Jingxiu casually leaned back on the chair and said, "Someone wants to marry the Ye family, but they are worried about the relationship between the Ye family and you, and the Ye family doesn't want to make it clear. If this continues, my uncle will be interested. ."
Seeing that Song Jinyin went outside to make tea, Pei Yanzhou put down what he was holding and said, "If Your Majesty really wants to reuse the Ye family, this marriage will not really fall on me."
It took a while for Lin Jingxiu to recover from these words, but he could only be serious for a moment before he became curious again.
"Do you really not want to get involved in this muddy water, or do you not want to marry so early?"
With his fingertips tapping on the table, Pei Yanzhou was speechless. After a while, he pulled out the news about the Xu family's return to Beijing and threw it towards Lin Jingxiu.
"Go and get more errands. The eldest princess will count on you to support Princess Heyang in the future."
Lin Jingxiu suddenly became quiet when he heard his eldest sister's name.
The Xu family's return to Beijing may bring news about their eldest sister.
...
The prince's court caused such a scene, and it was quiet for several days.
Pei Yanzhou was not in the courtyard today, so Song Jinyin had half a day to spare and carefully picked up the needle and thread with her injured hand.
The wound healed quickly, but the sensitivity of the fingertips still failed to recover.
A trace of worry surged in her heart. Before she could pack her things, Xueyu called her out from outside.
"Sister Jinyin, we have to go to the embroidery room quickly to measure the size of the winter clothes."
The Duke's Mansion has its own embroiderers, half of whom work for the masters, and the other half are responsible for the robes that the maids and slaves receive each season.
Now that winter is approaching, it is already nearly a month late for me to take measurements. I guess I plan to pick out a batch of old clothes from the warehouse after the measurements are available.
Xueyu didn't think much about it. She looked a little lackluster, but she was still smiling when she held Song Jinyin's arm, and she was also very excited when talking about new clothes.
It's just that on the way to the embroidery room, people looked at her a lot more, and the people who looked at Song Jinyin didn't smile as compulsively as they did a few days ago.
Although Xueyu was careless, she could see the gloating in some people's eyes.
"These people are used to following the wind! A few days ago, they kept calling me sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister"
“It’s normal to hold someone high and bully someone low, and it’s not worth getting angry about.”
Song Jinyin listened to Xue Yu's injustice and smiled calmly.
Pei Yanzhou stayed in her house a few days ago, and the servants in the mansion were spreading rumors that she would soon be raised as a concubine, instead of a maid.
But since that day, Pei Yanzhou never mentioned the matter again.
I don't know whether he knew that she was unwilling, so he felt angry and regretted staying that night, or he was deliberately trying to make her look ugly in the house, being pointed at and unable to hold her head up.
But no matter what it was, Song Jinyin didn't care.
She didn't want to be Nao Shizi's concubine, but it suited her right now.
After taking the measurements, they returned to the yard. Before the two of them had gone far, they saw Pei Wenshu and Ye Wanqiu strolling down the path in the garden.
He bowed with the other maids and was about to leave when he heard Ye Wanqiu call Miss Jinyin softly.
Xueyu subconsciously looked up, with anxiety in her eyes.
This girl from the Ye family has an unusual background and is more difficult to deal with than the eldest girl from the Duke's mansion.
But just as she raised her head, the maid beside Pei Wenshu stepped forward, pressed Xueyu and knelt down hard again.
"You are so brave, you have a distinguished guest here, but you are so ignorant of etiquette!"
Song Jinyin understood that this was aimed at her again.
The trail is cleaned every day, but for some reason, there were a lot of gravel on the road today. When Xueyu's knees hit the ground, Song Jinyin saw her frowning in pain.
"Big girl, Miss Ye."
Song Jinyin knelt down immediately.
We can't bring Xueyu into trouble. Since he wants to cause trouble for her, she will just accept it.
Unexpectedly, Ye Wanqiu stretched out his hand to stop her movement, which was very different from the domineering look he saw in the courtyard last time.
"Miss Jinyin doesn't have to be like this."
The voice was soft, and even the eyes that looked over were a little less aggressive.
"Brother Yan Zhou taught me a lesson, saying that I shouldn't be angry with a maid. It's just that I had a bad temper with him a few days ago. Today, after Sister Wen Shu told me, I realized that he actually took out all that anger on you. on the body."
Song Jinyin didn't answer, and the courtyard was deserted for a moment.
Ye Wanqiu pursed her lips and continued: "I just found out today that Miss Jin Yin has been disliked again, but don't worry, I will say something nice for her. He can't always be so cruel and keep her as a slave forever." For being a maid, you will be ridiculed by others.”
Song Jinyin had no intention of exploring Ye Wanqiu's change of face.
Whether it was showing off or humiliating, she just wanted them to let Xueyu go.
Fortunately, Ye Wanqiu didn't stay long after he finished speaking. He waved his handkerchief and left. In the end, he couldn't hold it back, leaving behind a hint of condescending contempt.
Pei Wenshu didn't criticize her, she just suppressed the smile on her lips and looked hesitant as she walked.
"Sister Wan Qiu, you are too kind and always think that others are good. Do you know why my eldest brother treated me like that that day?"
"Why?"
"Because I caused trouble for Song Jinyin and slapped her several times, my eldest brother wanted my life. Sister, tell me, if this continues, will there still be a place for my future sister-in-law in this house in the future?"
Ye Wanqiu's demeanor almost failed to stop.
