Xue Rou'er knew that Hong Zhu was thinking about how to punish her, so she spoke first: "No matter how my mother-in-law punishes me, I will never remember it in my heart. The only thing I remember is that I have to be more careful in the future and not to implicate the old lady again."

Hearing this, Hongzhu didn't want to be punished severely, so he looked at Qinglian.

Qinglian smiled and said: "Old Madam, I heard that Miss Scholar's three-dimensional embroidery and ribbon embroidery are very unique. Why not punish her to embroider a screen? Hasn't Old Madam wanted to buy one for a long time?"

Hongzhu immediately smiled and said: "Okay, that's it. I'll punish you by grounding you for three days to embroider the screen."

Xue Rou'er smiled and said: "Thank you, old lady, thank you sister Qinglian, I will go with you right now."

After Xue Rouer led Yuchan away, Hongzhu asked: "Qinglian, what do you think of her?"

Qinglian smiled and said: "This girl is a ghost. If we say her scheming is no worse than that of the empress in the palace, she is not ruthless enough."

Hongzhu said: "Yes, if you wait until you see a trick and then find a way to break it, if you get to the palace, you may even have nine lives to survive."

Qinglian said: "Why don't I help you in secret?"

Hong Zhu shook her head and said: "It's difficult... If you don't push this kind of person to death, she won't risk her life. It's better to let the facts make her grow."

Qinglian shook her head and said, "I don't understand."

Hongzhu said: "Xue Qing'er is a cruel girl, why not force her to death first? Think about it, she hates Xue Rou'er in her heart, how can she make Xue Rou'er's life easy?"

Qinglian said in a sudden realization: "I see, then let the slave over there in the darkroom go and inform you. After Xue Qing'er escapes from death, her tactics will not be so superficial. Then when Xue Rou'er is threatened, she will definitely understand how to show mercy to the enemy."

It’s like digging a hole for yourself!”

Hong Zhu nodded and said: "Yes, let's do it."

Qinglian nodded and left the Buddhist hall.

Chan'er, who had been beaten twice, came to the old lady and knelt down in front of her: "My slave, I would like to thank you for not killing me."

Hongzhu said: "You have to thank the Second Madam. In fact, there are undercurrents in the big house every day. If you don't keep your eyes open and find a good master, you don't know how long you can live as a slave."

Chan'er said: "Thank you, old lady, for the advice. Chan'er's eyesight is too stupid to see the situation clearly."

Hongzhu said with satisfaction: "Well, I see that you are also smart. From now on, follow me. When I have the opportunity, I will arrange for you to go to the Second Madam's yard to repay your kindness."

Chan'er kowtowed heavily, she hated Xue Qing'er to the extreme in her heart, but she also envied Yu Chan very much. To have such a good master to protect her, and even willing to share the slave's punishment, such a master is the best.

Sister-in-law Li stood beside her at a loss, and Hongzhu said: "Go down and collect the one hundred taels of medicine, and then go back to work. You can figure this out yourself later."

Sister-in-law Li is a smart person. How could she not see that the old lady is interested in Xue Rou'er? She immediately nodded with gratitude and went to collect the money.

When Yu Chan returned to the backyard, she said angrily: "When will Xue Qing'er stop? How will she walk around in Ling's house from now on? I'm afraid she will be accused of some crime just by walking in the future."

Xue Rou'er smiled and said: "Just do what you want. Am I still afraid of Xue Qing'er? She couldn't kill me in the Xue family, and I won't make it easy for her now, but... what is this darkroom?"

Yuchan said: "The darkroom in the palace is used to punish palace maids and eunuchs who have made big mistakes. No one has ever come out alive. I don't know what the darkroom outside the palace is like."

Yunu said: "We also have a darkroom in the Xue Mansion, but I have never been there. A big family like this has a darkroom. It is a small room. You can't see anything when you close the door. Those with a strong mind can still come out alive.

Those who are not mentally strong will become suspicious and scared to death by themselves.”

Xue Rou'er understood and said: "It's such a scary place. I don't know if Xue Qing'er can be taught a lesson this time. I bet someone like her can come out alive."

Yunu said: "What's wrong with you? What happened?"

Yuchan told the whole story, and Yunu said angrily: "Miss, you are too passive, you are always bullied. Slave..."

Xue Rou'er looked at the ingredients Yu Chan brought back and said, "Are you looking down on me? I know it's hard to live in such a precarious situation, and I don't want to waste my time here. The business outside is still waiting for me to take care of.

"

Yu Chan suddenly said: "Only when you are at peace with yourself can you fight against the outside world."

Xue Rou'er was startled, put down the ingredients and thought for a while, then said: "Yes, you are right, but this time Xue Qing'er will live in peace for a while, and we don't want to cause any trouble. Jade slave, go get some materials, the old lady's screen is still needed

made."

Yuchan said: "There is a good thing about today's incident. At least I won't be in trouble when I go to the dining room again."

Xue Rouer smiled and said, "Why don't you go quickly? I'm so hungry."

Yuchan hurriedly took the raw ingredients to the dining room. This time she saw Sister-in-law Li as soon as she entered the door. Her head was wrapped in gauze.

Sister-in-law Li saw Yu Chan's calm expression and said with a smile: "The second lady's meal has just been prepared. I originally wanted to deliver it in person. Since Miss Yu Chan is here, I'll trouble you to take it over."

Yuchan looked at the two large food boxes in her hands in astonishment, she didn't usually have so many dishes!

Sister-in-law Li smiled and said: "I have done a few more things today, so I should apologize to the second lady."

Only then did Yu Chan come back to her senses and said: "My eldest lady's memory is good and bad. She probably forgot about it for a while. But I don't know when I suddenly remembered it later, but it had already been many days when I remembered it.

, and she won’t care.”

Sister-in-law Li smiled and said, "Thank you for the tip, miss. Please walk slowly."

Yu Chan held back her laughter and walked back to the backyard carrying two food boxes.

The jade slave has already retrieved the items for embroidering the screen, and the housekeeper has also brought a brand new screen, one and a half meters wide and two meters high. It seems that he wants to place it at the door of the Buddhist hall, so that no one from outside can see through it.

Yuchan put down the food box and said, "Miss, come and eat. Sister-in-law Li has learned well and cooked a few more dishes to make amends to you."

Xue Rou'er walked over and opened the food box. It was full of big dishes, braised fish, stewed bird's nest, meatballs... six in total.

Yunu said: "If you eat like this every day, wouldn't you become a pig?"

Xue Rouer laughed and scolded: "Damn girl, are you saying that I will turn into a pig? Okay, then I will punish you to eat with me and make you turn into a pig too."

Yu Chan smiled and said: "Okay, there are no outsiders at the moment, so hurry up and eat the embroidered screen, otherwise you will be grounded forever."

Xue Rouer nodded, and the three of them started eating immediately.
