Chapter 183 The truth of arson
"Repay?" Chu Mengying murmured.
Chu Huazhang asked in confusion: "What does father mean?"
Chu Cailiang said in a deep voice: "I will call you my master in the future! Did you not understand what I said just now? It's not that I don't want you to be children anymore, but the emperor wants you to be slaves! I bought you home and prevent you from suffering from other people's family. It's the most benevolent and righteous. If you call me wrong in the future, let the emperor know, and if you misunderstand that you are still living a life of a lady and a young master when you come home, you are not afraid of beheading yourself. The Chu family cannot be buried with you for you!"
Chu Cailiang spoke harshly, and Chu Huazhang and Chu Mengying's faces were red and white.
Seeing that they seemed to be really scared, Chu Cailiangcai was slightly satisfied and said, "Your mother's last bite of food was fed by Sister Lan himself before her death. She could leave her past grudges and send your mother to the road with peace of mind, and be kind enough to buy you back. Shouldn't you be grateful?"
Chu Mengying's lips moved, and she restrained her words and didn't say something ugly.
Chu Huazhang glared at his eyes and said in disbelief: "What does the master mean? How do we want us to repay us? Do you want us to be slaves and servants to Chu Junlan?"
Chu Cailiang straightened his beard twice, "It all depends on your own thoughts."
The meaning of the words is that those who know the appearance must take the initiative to serve Chu Junlan.
Chu Mengying burst into tears, "The master hates his aunt in his heart, so he doesn't even want his daughter and son?"
Chu Huazhang was sad and covered his face and cried: "What did we do wrong again? We didn't know. We had happily celebrated our grandmother's birthday before, but in the blink of an eye, nothing was gone. My aunt was beheaded and we suddenly became servants. Now my father wants us to serve other brothers and sisters. If my father is like this, why don't we die together!"
When Chu Cailiang heard them say this, he felt a little sad.
They are miserable, but why isn't he miserable?
He had just become a fifth-rank official and was proud to celebrate the birthday of the old lady. He threw away the black veil in the blink of an eye. If the eldest son had not sacrificed his life, the whole family would have been cold now.
In short, he is the most unfair one!
Chu Cailiang almost burst into tears on the spot, "Why am I wronged? But this is the situation now. Who can disobey the emperor's will? Not to mention that you can't be a daughter, young master, have I also changed from an official to a commoner! Everyone accepts their fate!"
Human life?
Chu Huazhang was confused for a moment and forgot to shed tears.
Chu Mengying lowered her head, bit her lip unwillingly, and bit her lower lip blood.
Could it be that her life is to serve others for the rest of her life?
Why? In terms of appearance and talent, what is she not as good as Chu Junlan? Why does Chu Junlan have everything, but she has lost everything? Is Chu Junlan the only one who is the legitimate child?
Yes, she is indeed a concubine. Her biological mother is humble and she is tired of being taken care of, and she even can't raise her head for the rest of her life!
But she was unwilling to give up!
"Master, it's really a dilemma to ask us to serve our third sister. If it's out, it's a big deal." Chu Mengying said timidly, "Or, you arrange for us to go to the sewing room or study room to do things. My daughter's daughter is pretty good. Brother Zhang can also learn more. Even if she is a slave, she may not be able to do something in the future. Maybe she can do something for the Chu family."
Chu Mengying's words really touched Chu Cailiang. She knew her father too well, and she was profit-oriented and indifferent to family affection. It would be better to move him with love. Just like when she failed to climb up to Gao Zhier, the second young master of the Duke Dingguo Mansion, Chu Cailiang was furious because he was angry that she was wrong, but because he was angry that the matter was not done.
"This... is OK." Chu Cailiang let go, "After all, if you say you have been serving people, it wouldn't be nice to say that you are in the future. When Sister Lan becomes the prince's concubine in the future, maybe you can find a way out for you. You can't be a human being for the rest of your life."
"Yes, Master." Chu Mengying sobbed and said sincerely, "Even if we can't call your father now, we are closest relatives in blood."
Chu Huazhang also nodded.
Chu Cailiang thought about it and said, "Forget it, I will tell Sister Lan about this. In the future, she will take care of the gifts at home. If you have any, just ask her."
"Yes, lord." Chu Mengying and Chu Huazhang saluted respectfully.
Chu Junlan got Liang Hui's reply and nodded with a smile: "Since it was my father's arrangement, then let's do it like this. Butler Liang will help you arrange it. Besides, although their share cannot be as many as before, they should not be too negligent in food, clothing, housing and transportation. After all, they are not real servants."
"Yes." Liang Hui said with emotion, "The third lady is kind."
Chu Junlan smiled. She wasn't too kind-hearted. She just didn't want to be cruel and ruthless. She didn't care about fame or something, but now she found that fame can help her do something at some point.
Chu Mengying and Chu Huazhang were placed there, so they naturally could not return to their original courtyard. Chu Huazhang went to the study room of the outer courtyard to settle down, and Liang Hui arranged a single room for him. Chu Mengying went to the fall of Yuqing Garden and lived with the maid of Aunt Wang, who had to do a lot of embroidery work every day.
However, suddenly, he turned from a young lady to a slave. Even though Chu Mengying thought of enduring for a while and then trying to succeed later, there were too many people who offended when Aunt Wang was in charge of the family.
Now that Aunt Wang is dead, Yuqing Garden has collapsed, Chu Huazhang is fine, he lives in the outer courtyard, and the people around him don’t seem to be like the female family in the inner courtyard. The maids and mothers in the inner courtyard have been angry with Aunt Wang, but they have to fight Chu Mengying to a higher degree.
Chu Mengying rolled her eyes and heard sarcasm every day.
What Chu Mengying couldn't bear even more was Chu Yunjiao and Chu Peishan, who were also a concubine like her, now have a high face in front of her.
At the end of the month, the first snow fell in the capital.
Chu Mengying had just opened her eyes and was not willing to leave the warm bed, but the door was pushed open unceremoniously.
The cold wind whizzed in, and the cold Chu Mengying shivered, hugged her quilt and scolded her angrily: "Who is looking for death!"
"Oh, you are so majestic." Chu Yunjiao wore a light pink cotton cloak, hugged her warm sleeves, and walked into the room in one step.
"It's so snowing outside, don't you know how to go out to clean it? Why are you still sleeping in? Who has raised a servant like you?"
Chu Mengying bit her lip, and in order to avoid trouble, she gritted her teeth and got up to dress and went to the yard to sweep the snow.
Chu Yunjiao smiled from behind at her clumsy appearance when she was sweeping the snow, "Look at you, you are clumsy and can't even sweep the snow. You are not qualified as a servant, and it is thanks to the third sister who is willing to redeem you."
After being bullied for many days, Chu Mengying's forbearance finally came to an end.
She stood up straight and turned around and said coldly: "Chu Yunjiao, don't be too slandering! When my mother was alive, your mother was just a dog beside my mother. If she asked her to come, she would have to say that she would come. If she asked her to set fire to kill people, she would have to set fire to kill people! She didn't even dare to let go!"
"You dare to say that to my mother! You are presumptuous!"
"I'm presumptuous? Have you forgotten? You are also a haba around me. Good things must be tightened by me first. Why? Now that I'm in a downturn, you forgot that you can still wag your tail!"
"You little bitch, I'll fight you!" Chu Yunjiao was furious, threw away her warm sleeves and rushed towards Chu Mengying.
Chu Mengying had been holding her anger for many days, and she didn't dodge or dodge to face Fanji, and wrestled with Chu Yunjiao.
Chu Yunjiao's girl Cheng'er jumped up in a hurry and rushed forward to help but couldn't pull away the two of them who were fighting. She rushed out and planned to call someone, but she almost put it in Chu Junlan's arms.
"San, Miss San..." Cheng'er was shocked. When did Miss San come?
Chu Junlan looked at Chu Yunjiao and Chu Mengying with a deep face, and ordered the woman carrying the cloth behind her, "Go, separate them and take them to the main hall. In addition, call Aunt Sun and Aunt Su together. I have something to ask."
