"Watching a show?"
Song Jinyin raised her eyes and looked around.
The Hexagonal Pavilion is not far from the water pavilion. Although there is no stone bridge over the water, there is water flowing outside the stone pier on one side.
"There is no stage here. I wonder where the two girls in front are going to watch?"
"If girls want to watch it, there will be drama everywhere."
Zi Rong was walking half a step ahead of her, and her voice came over lightly.
"The sixth young master was having fun a few days ago and fished some brightly colored koi carps that the second master had recently collected into this pond. The sun is still sunny today. Although the scene of the lotus falling into the water was not visible, the girl was collecting water with bare feet. You should also be able to find some fun."
Song Jinyin followed Zi Rong's steps and paused slightly, looking towards the deep pool.
"Sister Zirong, do you mean to let that girl go into the water to fish for fish?"
"Yes."
Zi Rong looked back at her, with a hint of mockery on her lips.
"That girl stole something from Miss Ye's family. Miss Ye was kind-hearted. Seeing that she was in our Duke's mansion again, she didn't want to see blood, so she thought of this way to spare her life."
"Can a rough maid steal Miss Ye's things?"
"Miss Ye said she is who she is, so what else is important?"
Song Jinyin was speechless for a moment.
What a kindhearted person, what a person to spare her life.
She laughed in her heart, but even though the smile did not appear on the corners of her lips, it was still deep and cool.
On such a cold day, it would be death.
Even if the little girl understands the properties of water, the dirty mud at the bottom of the deep pool is enough to leave the root of her disease.
Song Jinyin didn't want to be soft for others.
She knows very well that her current situation is not much better than those people, and her life is in the hands of others.
But seeing that a human life was so worthless in the eyes of noble ladies like them, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"If you really can't bear it, why don't you beg for mercy for that girl later? Maybe Miss Ye will see that it's you who spoke and soften your heart, and the girl will be spared the punishment."
Approaching the pavilion, Zi Rong suddenly turned her head and said this to her.
The sound wasn't too loud, but it was just enough for that little girl to hear, except for Song Jinyin.
Song Jinyin didn't know what Zi Rong meant, but she saw the little girl's eyes suddenly light up, her mouth stained with blood moved for a long time, and her hands were waving in the air.
"Sister, please save me! I really don't want to die. Please help me to beg for mercy. Please..."
I don't know if the two maids holding her loosened their grip, but after struggling, the little girl actually broke free from her restraints and rushed towards her.
Song Jinyin took a few steps back, but the hem of her skirt was still grabbed by someone and stained with blood.
"Sister, please, I don't want to die, I really don't want to die! There is no land in the slave's family, and my parents have to live on the slave's monthly money. The eldest brother in the family has also been arrested and worked as a coolie. Life or death is uncertain. Without the slave, the family Those who can’t survive, please, please!”
"I'm just a maid. You asked the wrong person."
Song Jinyin grimaced, took away the clutched dress, and saluted the two people watching the show in front of her with an indifferent expression.
There was nothing she could do.
Even though her heart was slightly blocked, she could only look past her hopeful eyes with an expressionless face and let the light inside dim little by little.
Pei Wenshu stood aside, with a bit of mockery in her eyes.
Song Jinyin could feel the schadenfreude, but at this moment she knew better than anyone else that as long as she asked for help, this girl would definitely die in Ye Wanqiu's hands.
Even Pei Wenshu will not be merciful after the incident.
"My slave has seen two girls."
Song Jinyin's throat was dry and her voice was slightly hoarse.
Ye Wanqiu looked her up and down, and his gloomy eyes returned to normal little by little, and then the corners of his lips slightly raised, showing disdain upon closer inspection.
"Don't you beg for mercy for her? Last time I saw you protecting the maid beside you, as if you didn't even care about your life. Why would you be so cruel to someone else?"
"This slave dare not comment on the orders of the two girls."
"What do you, Song Jinyin, dare not do?"
Ye Wanqiu raised her hand and looked at the nails that were trimmed just today casually, "You and I have known each other for a while, but I couldn't make you kneel down last time. How about if you continue to beg me this time, maybe you can speak. I am willing to spare her."
After hearing this, the little girl's eyes became more hopeful.
Although she has never met Song Jinyin, few people in the entire Duke's mansion don't know this name.
In the past, she was mostly laughed at because she climbed into bed and was not pampered, but now she was envious of how much the prince valued her.
To come forward twice in a row, once to face the old lady, and once to face the Duke of the country, what kind of grace should this be.
The little girl's knees on the ground moved forward again, and she reached out again to grab the hem of her skirt.
She only did menial work in the house, and had never been in the master's yard. She was the lowest maid.
She couldn't even think about such soft and thick fabrics as Song Jinyin's body, but at this moment she couldn't care about anything, she just wanted to desperately grab this life-saving straw.
Song Jinyin had rescued other maids before. Since she was easily soft-hearted, it made no sense for her to be so cruel.
"Please sister Jinyin to save this slave. As long as my sister can save this slave's life, I will obey my sister's orders in everything from now on!"
Song Jinyin frowned slightly and stopped grabbing the hem of her skirt. She just looked down at the little girl crying on the ground.
"I said, I can't save you."
Her voice added a bit of coldness, and her black eyes were as deep as a pool, without any fluctuation, and the word cold-blooded was written nakedly.
But under that ruthlessness, I still had the thought of putting it off and waiting for someone from Fuluyuan.
But she actually had no idea whether Biyu could call Lingqiao.
"Why can't it be saved?"
The little girl was stunned by Song Jinyin's words. She shook her head after a long while, her eyes bursting with desire for life and a hint of incomprehensible madness.
"I have heard about you. You have obviously saved others. Why can't you save others when you come to me? It's just a matter of words. Just go and beg Miss Ye. Is that enough? I From now on, I will work for you as a cow or a horse, and I will obey your orders in everything, as long as you save me once, save me once!"
"What identity do I have to save you?"
Seeing that she was losing her mind, Song Jinyin simply spoke more clearly: "It's the two girls in front of you that you should beg for, not a slave who wants to kneel down and beg for mercy like you."
"It's obviously different... Miss Ye said, just beg her, just beg her, why do you have to be so cruel? You have knelt down before the crown prince, why not kneel down, Miss Ye? Do you want this? So ruthless, do you just watch a person die? Please, you have obviously saved others, why do you look down on me alone? "
The human heart is probably the easiest thing to make people laugh at.
This girl didn't dare to ask anyone else, so she used Ye Wanqiu's words to choose her, who seemed the most talkative.
Trying to use kindness and soft-heartedness as a sharp sword to force her to intercede on her behalf.
But how could Ye Wanqiu get what she wanted? The two noble ladies in front of them will not be soft-hearted at all. They just want to see her in despair, and then they will get worse.
The little girl in front of her changed from crying to accusing. Song Jinyin suddenly laughed and changed her mind temporarily.
Why should she kneel down for such a person?
But before she could say anything, Ye Wanqiu beside her lazily flicked her handkerchief.
"It's a pity that our girl Jin Yin doesn't want to open this door for you. It means your fate is bad. Go down and fish for six koi of the same color. When the lottery comes, I will also take care of the theft." I won’t pursue it with you.”
When the girl heard this, she knew that this scene was inevitable.
But when the two maids came to catch her, she seemed to be crazy and wanted to die together. She grabbed Song Jinyin's arm and dragged her into the pool.
If the distance between people is too far, people will not even dare to look up.
However, if they hold the same job under the same title but receive different treatment, it is easy to breed resentment and injustice.
The maid next to her stopped her hand when she saw this and allowed the girl to pull hard.
Song Jinyin struggled to break away. Although she was prepared, she was still in a stalemate for a while.
Just when she was about to get rid of the restraint, Pei Wenshu on the side finally spoke and asked someone to hold the girl captive.
Song Jinyin's heart dropped.
She was just guessing what Pei Wenshu was thinking now, but fortunately she didn't really stand by and watch.
"Miss Ye wants to watch a show now, why don't you let her go?"
"Yes, big girl."
The maid dragged the person to the edge of the pool. Seeing the tossing, Pei Wenshu curled her lips in boredom.
Although she wanted to see Ye Wanqiu and Song Jinyin bite each other, Song Jinyin still had her unkind elder brother above her.
How could she dare to be so mean at this time when two things happened in a row?
"Sister Wen Shu has such a good relationship with Song Jinyin now?"
It seemed that he did not expect that she would come forward to stop it, and Ye Wanqiu was a little surprised.
Pei Wenshu looked sideways at her and sneered in her heart.
She had indeed been hating Ye Wanqiu because of what happened last time, but she had also been told by her father not to show it at this time and put the Ye family on guard.
Therefore, when Ye Wanqiu asked like this, Pei Wenshu just rolled her eyes in her heart and said helplessly: "She will also help organize the gathering in the house in a few days. If something happens at this time, my grandmother and third uncle will definitely Blame me."
"oh?"
Ye Wanqiu suddenly became interested, and his eyes fell on Song Jinyin more carefully.
There will be a lot of people coming to that party, and the Xu family has also received the post. I think it will be very lively.
I just don’t know if Pei Yanzhou will show up.
Ye Wanqiu frowned and covered his eyes in thought.
She still couldn't see others getting close to him, including Xu Youyi.
The daughter of a reckless man, except for her higher status, is the same as Song Jinyin. She is not someone who can be on the stage.
No matter who fell into Pei Yanzhou's eyes, she could not swallow her breath.
