"This isn't good, right?" After hearing her elder sister's plan, she was shocked by her elder sister's vicious heart. She also thought of the scene where Yun Chuxi smiled at her yesterday. It was warm and beautiful. It was also this smile that softened Mu Lihua's heart, who hated Ruan Xin even more. In the end, she did not listen to Mu Liduo's suggestion.
"What do you think we should do?" Mu Lihua's eyes were filled with pity. Mu Liduo found it strange that her sister, who looked fat and ugly but was actually more vicious than her, would refute her plan. However, she calmed down and listened to her continue.
She shifted her gaze behind Mu Liduo. There was a bowl of steaming porridge on the table. Mu Lihua quickly had an idea. She also lay beside Mu Liduo and explained in detail.
Probably due to yesterday's incident, Chenguang had cleaned up and walked all the way. He was also pointed at by the servants along the way. After getting rid of the rumors behind him, Chenguang stepped into the kitchen where the servants were eating. Uncle Liu, the waiter, was scooping rice for a few servants. When he saw her walk in, his gaze fell on her face. It was pale and swollen. Only her bright eyes looked in his direction. Uncle Liu sighed and did not say anything in the end. He shook his head and took out another bowl. He scooped some food for Chen Guang, who was walking over, and took out a soft and warm steamed bun from the corner and placed it in her outstretched hand.
The warm steamed bun was like a warm current flowing into Chen Guang's heart. The unhappiness caused by the rumors instantly disappeared. She smiled sincerely at Uncle Liu. The morning light swept across the surroundings, and the other servants who were eating quickly lowered their heads to eat the food in their hands. However, they kept their eyes on the direction of the morning light. They couldn't understand why she was in the mood to eat breakfast as if nothing had happened...
After finding a corner, Chen Guang sat on a wooden bench with her legs bent. She placed the bowl on her knees and held the steamed bun with one hand. She took a deep breath of the fragrance in the bowl. Her stomach rumbled. She lowered her head, raised the bowl, and took a big gulp. She swallowed it down and slowly chewed the steamed bun in her hand. The words of the other servants came intermittently. Since the person involved was here, and Chen Guang was from Yun Chu's studio, she said, The servants who were gossiping about her could only talk to each other in the lowest voice to satisfy their gossipy psychology.
"Look at the way she eats. It's like she's the reincarnation of a hungry ghost.”
"En, en, yes. I really don't know how Princess Ruan chose her to be a servant girl and actually made Consort Mu faint from anger.”
"I know a little about how she was chosen. It seems that she wanted to hurt Consort Ruan and was defeated by His Highness and locked in the woodshed. Later, it seemed that Consort Yun pleaded for mercy and let her out.”
"There's such a thing?" Fourth Concubine's personal maid expressed her surprise.
"Of course. Although this Ruan Consort is kind, everyone in the Prince's mansion knows that she is extremely lucky to have met the Ruan Consort.”However, Xiaoyun, who was working under Mu Lihua, heard her master talking about Chenguang by chance. She wanted to show off her intelligence in front of her peers, so she said it. She looked at Chenguang with disdain, as if she was superior to Chenguang. However, the moment she finished speaking, Chenguang had already noticed her. He looked up and looked at her.
Needless to say, only Yun Chuxi could make up such a fallacy. She had only been here for a short time, and she could not think of anyone else to offend. Who would be so bored as to frame a mere maid like her? In an instant, Chen Guang thought of Yun Chuxi, who was spreading rumors behind her back. Other than gritting his teeth, Chen Guang's heart could not be any colder. His gaze towards Xiaoyun became deeper and colder.
After staring at each other for a second, Xiaoyun lowered her head and did not dare to look at Chenguang again. She shivered, and the fear in her heart spread to her limbs. The teasing she felt just now also disappeared.
"In that case, Rong Gao didn't punish that woman because she was a subordinate of the Ruan Consort. It seems that the position of the Ruan Consort in His Highness 'heart has never changed.”The one who said this was a little girl who did odd jobs in the kitchen. She was about 13 or 14 years old. She had a delicate appearance and wore simple and crude clothes. However, she was the one who had stayed in the Prince's mansion for the longest time among them. At the same time, she was much more mature than them.
That's right. The royal family had always been a place that ate people without spitting out bones. How many of them could survive in there as childish as when they first entered?
"Yeah, that's not right. I keep hearing your sour tone. Could it be?”Fourth Concubine's maid was straightforward and she teased.
"Don't talk nonsense." Qing Shu gave Fourth Concubine's servant a meaningful look and stood up from the small stool. She walked to the side, put down the half bowl of gruel and the steamed bun she had taken a bite of, and walked out without looking back.
"This? Isn't this too much?" It was not until Qing Shu disappeared at the threshold that the servant girl under Fourth Concubine muttered. Her expression was full of confusion. Wasn't she just joking? As for leaving without eating? Heh, what a temper.
Chen Guang's eyes fell on the bench that Qing Shu had just sat on. He was deep in thought. Although this little girl was young, her thoughts were definitely not as simple as they seemed. Then, how could she be willing to be a servant in the kitchen? And why did he do it for three years? In her mind, she would recall that day when the boss, Uncle Liu, occasionally brought up the topic of Qingshu to her, saying that she was a poor child…
After eating, she rested for a while. She reckoned that the people over there were almost done. Chenguang then slowly stepped out of the kitchen door, leaving three gazes on her. Two of them were Xiaoyun and Fourth Concubine's maids, who had ill intentions. The other was the boss, Uncle Liu, who was kind and sympathetic.
Qing Shu, who was rushing to the toilet from another path, was so busy rushing to the toilet that she didn't notice that at the corner of the street, the proud little Xiang 'er was slowly turning the corner with a lunch box in her hand and met her.
"Yo, isn't this the servant girl that Uncle Boss is proud of?”Little Xiang 'er hung the lunchbox in her other hand and stopped in her tracks as she said sarcastically.
Raising her head, Xiao Xiang 'er's proud face appeared in front of her. The lunch box in her right hand was carved with orchid patterns, which was especially obvious. One look and it was obvious that it was a gift from Concubine Ruan's room.
Qing Shu's eyes flickered. She walked past Little Xiang 'Er and was about to walk forward when she heard her next words and stopped.
"The servant girl is really arrogant. She's almost as arrogant as master.”Little Xiang 'er was very unhappy with Qing Shu's attitude, so she didn't think too much about it and said it out loud.
Qing Shu was a unique person. She would not allow others to slander her if she had not done anything. Moreover, that person was Little Xiang 'er, who had entered the family two years later than her. Usually, the two of them would miss each other without saying a word. Today, it seemed that she had gained the favor of her master and did not put others in her eyes.
"Money can really make people turn the world around. You can even do such a disgusting thing!”Qing Shu didn't turn around, but she spoke calmly.
"What did you say?" Little Xiang 'Er was still feeling smug and smug when she suddenly heard these words. Anger and guilt rushed into her heart. A trace of anger appeared on her face, and her words were also lacking in confidence.
"Humph…"
"Don't go. Make yourself clear." Qing Shu's indifferent voice rang out. She did not continue to pay attention to her, but continued to walk forward. Little Xiang 'er grabbed her sleeve in a hurry, forcing her to speak clearly.
The sleeve was pulled tight, and the sound of it breaking could be heard. Qing Shu looked at the small hand on the sleeve, turned around, and said the truth with a blank face,""I say, so Master is doing things that hurt others behind their backs, are you still reasonable?”
A gentle breeze blew past, and Qing Shu's face was extremely cold. Her eyes seemed to see through all the changes in the world, which did not match her age.
"What did you say? I don't know what you're talking about.”Having exposed the ugly truth in her heart, Xiao Xiang 'er subconsciously let go of Qing Shu's sleeve and took a few steps back. Confusion, disbelief, fear, and other emotions were all intertwined on her face.
"Take care of yourself." Qing Shu said coldly, rolled up her sleeves, turned around, and walked forward…
It was only when Qing Shu's back disappeared that Xiao Xiang 'er regained her senses. She was uneasy and a malicious smile that did not match her age appeared on her face."One day, I want to see you and Chenguang beg for mercy.”
However, could she wait until that day?
On the other side, Yun Chuxi and Rong Gao sat together and chatted and laughed as they finished their breakfast. Neither of them mentioned what happened yesterday afternoon. It was only when the morning light came in that Yun Chuxi's expression changed slightly.
"Chenguang, are you full?" Yun Chuxi put down the spoon in her hand, wiped her hands with the scarf beside her, and asked with a smile.
In front of Rong Gao, Yun Chuxi always played the kind, generous, and cute side. Therefore, Rong Gao was not wary of her at all because the former princess consort had always been kind and cute. However, her personality was different from the current Yun Chuxi. It was the opposite. It was a pity that Rong Gao did not know that a person's personality was innate. Even if they experienced too many hardships, it would not wear away a person's personality or change.
"Replying to wangfei, I've eaten." Chen Guang lowered his head and put his hands in front of him. He looked at the man's old shoes with gold and silver inlaid on them. He felt that they were a little familiar. He seemed to have seen similar shoes somewhere.
"Mhm, it's good that you've eaten." Looking at her dark hair in the morning light, Yun Chuxi felt a sudden tightness in her chest. She turned her head away from the morning light, and the tightness disappeared. When she met Rong Gao's eyes, a sweet smile appeared on Yun Chuxi's face, and she said,"Brother Rong, I want to go shopping with Chenguang later. Is that okay?”
