C48 Loyalty
"Yes, Eldest Miss." She slowly raised her head, her eyes red and averted, afraid to look at her.
Lian Ruyue put down the book and asked, "What happened to your hand?"
"No, it's nothing, your servant fell down accidentally, I'm fine," she said, covering her injured hand with her sleeve.
"Big sister Qingdai, we've all been bullied to this extent by others. Why are you still hiding this from the eldest miss?" If you won't tell me, I'll tell you. "Eldest Miss, Big Sister Qing Dai was beaten up by Second Miss. Yesterday, we noticed that termites were crawling around the corner of the Violet Cloud Courtyard, so we accidentally bit Eldest Miss. Today, we went to the storehouse to get some ant killing medicine. Who knew that Second Miss would beat her up because she said that Big Sister Qing Dai was disrespectful to her ?"
"Dai, don't say anything annoying in front of Eldest Miss," she said. Young miss, it's fine, I can endure it. "
Lian Ruyue asked, "Why do you have to endure? I've been bullied to this extent. "
"Young Miss didn't say anything. She just wanted us to endure for now. This servant will only listen to her advice."
Lian Ruyue slightly nodded, her eyes revealing an imperceptible look of approval. She then said to the incense, "You need not hide what Second Miss's maid said."
"Yes." "The second young miss said that although she had been punished to the point that she had to sweep the floor, she was still pure and honest. She wasn't like the eldest young miss ?" It's a shameful thing to do, and the madame doesn't want to see you.
"Sister Qing Di said that the eldest miss was innocent, and the second miss immediately became angry, saying that Sister Qing Di actually dared to give her face, and ordered for the maidservants to pull Sister Qing Di over, and for them to pinch and scratch her hand, which resulted in such a serious injury."
Lian Ruyue tightened her grip on the handkerchief in her hand and coldly said, "She's taking her revenge."
"Not only that, two days ago when I went to wash Eldest Miss's face, I was also pushed away by Second Miss' person. That person even said that I purposely wet her shoes and even, gave me a slap." Chen Xiang covered her face and said, "Eldest Miss, in fact, ever since we came to the Purple Cloud Academy, I've always been bullied in the open and in the dark. Eldest Miss, why do you have to endure all this? I ? I really don't understand."
"Looks like it's time." Lian Ru Yue suddenly stood up and said. Black rays of light floated in her eyes. That light emitted a faint dangerous aura. It was as if whoever touched it, would die without a doubt.
Seeing this gaze, Chen Xiang's heart suddenly trembled.
"You have all seen my situation in the Prime Minister's Estate. All of you have suffered a lot in the past few days as well."
"We can tolerate it, but we'll be angry at the young miss."
"Alright, now, listen clearly to every word that I am about to say to you: if I cannot be proud, you will suffer as well. Today, I will ask you a question, would you be willing to sit on the same boat as me?"
"This servant is willing to follow Eldest Miss." The two of them spoke at the same time.
"Alright." She looked at the two maidservants and said, "If you dare to place your hands on the flames and not get burned, then what you said just now is true. If you burn your hands, then you will have other uses, and if that is the case, I will not force you to stay, and tomorrow, I will find a reason to send you back to the Su Clan in Yao City. When I left, I had already made an agreement with the Jiang Clan that you two could return to the Su Clan at any time."
"Since this servant has followed Eldest Miss here, I don't have any thoughts of abandoning her. I'll go first." She raised her hands to the candle without hesitation. The flame was about to devour her scarred hands, but Lian Yue held her hand back. She then asked Yun Yang about the incense.
"Do you dare?"
"Servant, servant ?" She closed her eyes tightly and raised her hands, trembling. She slowly approached the candle flame, and when the flame was about to jump to her fingertips, a wave of heat hit her and she quickly retracted her hands.
After a moment, he clenched his teeth and once again reached out his hand.
Suddenly, she kneeled to the ground with a plop, kowtowing while crying and apologizing to Lian Ruyue, "Eldest Miss, you have redeemed yourself. Yesterday, I complained to elder sister Lingling a few times and said it was the wrong person, saying Eldest Miss was clearly a direct descendant, but she was so vile that we suffered because of her.
Lian Ru Yue put the candle flame back on the table, looked at her with cold eyes, and said, "If you don't want to, I will let you go. If you decide to stay, you definitely can't have any ill intentions towards me. It's good to be smart and smart in this deep courtyard, but the word I like most is loyalty. "
Actually, Lian Ru Yue had already sensed that the incense was about to burn. Today was just to take the opportunity to give her a beating.
"Yes, Eldest Miss taught him a lesson, this servant will remember it." She thought, "This young miss is really an unfathomable person. These past few days, she has been completely unoccupied, as if nothing had happened to her. I didn't expect that she had a clear grasp of this trivial matter."
"Chen Xiang, go call the clove over. Qing Dai, bring me the piece of jade that my father gave me." Lian Ruyue had already made up her mind and ordered.
Yes." "When she turned to go get the jade, she went out to call for cloves, her heart still throbbing with fear.
She held the jade in her hand and played with it. She remembered that this jade was given to her by Lian Yan Qing on her eighth birthday, and it was worth a lot of money. At that time, she was still his most beloved daughter, and her mother was not yet out of favour.
Lian Ruyue secretly held this piece of jade tightly, her eyes that were as deep as a black hole and as distant as a deep hole slowly revealed a cold feeling.
Not long later, Clove came in. She walked to Lian Ruyue's side and asked, "Eldest Miss, are you looking for a servant?"
Lian Ruyue said, "I want to comb my hair into a bun like Third Miss. Qing Di and Xia Xiang are from Yao City, so they don't know anything. Come and help me comb it."
"Yes." Clove took the ivory comb from her hand, walked behind Lianyue, and began to comb her hair.
Lian Ruyue closed her eyes and did not say a word. Qing Dai and Chen Xiang stood at the side and could not help but feel nervous. Their backs were covered in cold sweat. The two of them knew their eldest miss was about to make a move, but did not know what she would do.
"Put this hairpin in your bun." At this time, Lian Ruyue took out a hairpin from the box and handed it back to Lilac.
