The maid stepped sideways and stopped in front of Shen Xinlan, "Who do you think is a villain? Who is stirring up trouble? It is a fact that you went to Goulan Street, and the whole house knew that you had an affair with those two cheap maids. What did the young lady say? ?”
"and who are you?"
Su Ping asked with narrowed eyes.
"I am Cuizhu, the eldest lady's personal maid."
Cuizhu thought Su Ping was cowarded, so she immediately put her hands on her hips, raised her chin, and said, "I advise you to kneel down and apologize to the lady immediately!"
"What if I don't?"
Su Ping's face became colder and colder.
"Then don't blame me for reporting Madam."
Cuizhu smiled viciously, "When the time comes, I won't kneel here. I think the door of the mansion is very suitable for you. No, you have to go to the door of the mansion to kneel down now. Not only that, you have to kowtow. You can't stop until you calm down." …”
Snap~!
Before he finished speaking, an extremely loud slap suddenly sounded.
The maid Cuizhu fell to the ground at the sound.
Shen Xinlan was stunned and looked at Su Ping blankly.
Cuizhu was completely stunned. She lay motionless on the ground, and her left cheek quickly became red and swollen.
Su Ping turned his wrist and took a step forward, looking down at Cuizhu: "Yu Qing, I am a distinguished guest invited back by Shen Yushu after traveling thousands of miles. Yu Li, I am engaged to Shen Xinlan, and you are just a servant. You dare to talk to me like this?"
"How dare you hit me?!"
Cuizhu woke up like a dream and looked at Su Ping with her face covered, her eyes filled with deep-seated resentment.
"Beat you?"
Su Ping smiled contemptuously, "Qing Code 194, if a slave commits an offence, the master will kill him with a stick!"
After saying that, Su Ping leaned over and said, "Believe it or not, even if I beat you to death, the government won't hold me accountable?"
Looking at Su Ping's cold expression, Cuizhu finally felt scared.
She even believed that if she said another word, this despicable son-in-law would really beat her to death!
Subconsciously, Cuizhu thought of her master and cried, "Miss! Su Ping hit me, Su Ping dared to hit me!"
Under the piercing cry, Shen Xinlan finally came to her senses and looked at Su Ping with murderous eyes.
"Miss Shen!"
Su Ping straightened up and didn't give Shen Xinlan a chance to speak at all, "If you have a way to cancel this marriage, Su will be waiting for you at any time. If not, then please take care of your maid. If there is another time …”
Having said this, Su Ping paused and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "No, believe me, it's best not to happen again."
"you……"
Shen Xinlan felt a chill in her heart, followed by a feeling of shame she had never felt before.
She is the eldest daughter of the Duke's palace, would she be afraid of a mountain untouchable?
However, Su Ping ignored them, bypassed the two of them, and Shi Shiran entered his room.
The atmosphere stagnated for a moment, and Cuizhu started crying again, and there was even a hint of resentment in the cry: "Please, Miss, let Cuizhu make the decision..."
"Shut up!"
Shen Xinlan glared at Cuizhu fiercely, scaring her cry away instantly, "Although Su Ping is hateful, there is one thing right. If he kills you, he won't have to bear any responsibility."
"I……"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cuizhu's face suddenly turned completely white.
"This grudge... I will definitely remember."
Shen Xinlan was full of murderous intent, stared at Su Ping's room, turned around and left.
"Miss...Miss..."
Cuizhu didn't dare to stay here alone, so she quickly got up and chased after him.
in the room.
Su Ping couldn't help but sigh.
The slap I gave him just now was attached with talent at first. If it were implemented, the power would at least be able to knock the bamboo head away.
But he just took back his talent at the last moment, leaving himself a sliver of leeway.
"Still too cautious, lacking a trace of bloody courage."
There is no way, I have already developed this kind of character in my previous life.
In my mind, being reckless is a thing of the past.
"That's all, reason is not wrong."
Su Ping shook his head, "I just want to test this. If Shen Xinlan still refuses to give in... I have to think about how to deal with it in advance."
While he was thinking, a light footsteps sounded and the door was opened.
Shen Xian'er placed a white porcelain bowl on the table and pushed it in front of Su Ping, "Here, please eat."
"scare?"
Su Ping looked at Shen Xianer in shock.
When did the little girl become so generous?
This is unreasonable!
Taken away?
"I just saw it all."
Shen Xianer imitated Su Ping, raised her right hand and waved it hard in the air, "How majestic!"
"..."
Su Ping's face was covered with black lines.
What kind of divine logic?
Is hitting someone a sign of authority?
And treat yourself to a meal because of this...
This little girl seems to be mentally unhealthy.
"To be honest, although you are not good-looking and have a bad name, you are really brave."
Shen Xianer said again.
"...I reluctantly think you are complimenting me."
Su Ping rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Are those two people gone?"
"Let's go. They ran away in despair as soon as you entered the house. Hehe, they looked so embarrassed."
Shen Xian'er grinned, even more excited than Su Ping, the beater.
"Do you know who these two are?"
Su Ping asked abruptly.
I dare to fight back like this, not only for reasons, but also because of my benefactor's identity. As long as I don't go too far, at least my personal safety is guaranteed.
Obviously, beating a servant is not an excessive thing.
But I'm just afraid that the little girl will imitate him.
"I know."
Shen Xian'er nodded without hesitation, "Shen Yu painted a lot of portraits for me to keep me away from these people. The one you beat is called Cuizhu, the first-class maid in the Duke's mansion, and the one you missed is called Shen Xin. Lan, she is my cousin."
God damn missed it...
etc!
Su Ping doubted his ears: "Cousin?"
"Don't we look alike?"
Shen Xianer wrinkled her nose, with a strange expression on her face.
"..."
Su Ping looked Shen Xianer up and down.
picture?
...Does it count as similar if they are both from the same human race?
"No, I mean, since you are from the Shen family, why do you live here?"
Su Ping clearly remembered that when she first met Shen Xian'er, she showed off the room to him.
The Shen family, even if they are concubines, shouldn't be so easily satisfied?
And looking at her dry look, she seemed to be more malnourished than herself.
"Hey, you don't know this, right?"
Shen Xian'er smiled proudly, lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "Ding Guogong Shen Tiannan is my maternal ancestor."
"..."
Su Ping became even more confused.
If you calculate it this way, Shen Xian'er is the granddaughter of Ding Guogong.
My granddaughter is reduced to living in a poor house, but she is still proud of it?
Is your brain going crazy?
Su Ping couldn't help but raised his hand and put it on Shen Xian'er's forehead, trying to see if the little girl had a fever.
When their skin touched each other, Shen Xian'er felt as if she was electrocuted. Her whole body trembled violently, and her eyes became confused and lost focus.
This reaction made Su Ping suddenly come back to his senses and freeze for a moment.
In the feudal era, skin-to-skin contact...
She wouldn't shout indecency, would she?
Su Ping's heart beat, and he quietly removed his palm bit by bit.
As soon as the palms and forehead were separated, Shen Xianer's eyes returned to clarity.
However, there was no yelling or slap in the face as expected.
Shen Xian'er just frowned and smoothed a few strands of hair in front of her forehead.
Su Ping breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject: "Where is your father-in-law now?"
"It's dead."
Shen Xian'er held a distance with her hands, "I heard that she died when I was still this old..."
As Shen Xian'er narrated, Su Ping gradually understood the matter.
Shen Xianer is indeed the granddaughter of Ding Guogong, but she has lived in the old city of the outer city since she was a child, which is equivalent to a slum.
It is said that her mother offended Duke Dingguo and was expelled from the Shen family long ago.
It was not until recently that Shen Yushu took her back and told her the truth.
And this is also her first time to the Duke's Mansion.
"Where is your father?"
Su Ping asked.
"I haven't seen it before."
Shen Xianer spread her hands, "Maybe he's dead, maybe he's still alive, who knows?"
No wonder he took his mother's surname.
Su Ping was thoughtful.
What is the deep hatred that makes a person like Shen Tiannan cruelly abandon such a young child outside the house?
"Do you hate them?" Su Ping asked.
"Who are you asking? Shen Tiannan?"
Shen Xian'er thought for a while and said indifferently: "I haven't seen him yet."
Really open-minded.
But it is indeed true.
To Shen Xianer, her parents and Ding Guogong are all unrelated strangers. Without contact, there is no emotional basis, and there is no talk of hatred or non-hatred.
"Besides, before I was out and wanted to have a full meal, I had to wear five pairs of straw sandals a day. Now I can have something to eat without having to do anything. How great."
Shen Xianer said happily, but the next second her face suddenly wrinkled into a bitter melon, "I just can't wear straw sandals anymore."
"You have free food to eat, so why are you wearing straw sandals?"
Su Ping asked puzzledly.
He didn't think that Shen Xian'er's ideological consciousness was so high that he would not eat what he came to complain about.
"You can sell straw sandals for money, why should you ask?"
Shen Xianer looked at Su Ping sideways like an idiot, "Am I not allowed to save a dowry for myself?"
"puff……"
Su Ping couldn't help laughing.
The serious atmosphere was suddenly disturbed by something strange, which made him unable to hold back.
"Why are you laughing...you look down on me?!"
Shen Xianer's eyebrows stood up and she glared at Su Ping fiercely, "Tell you, I can make up to twelve pairs of straw sandals in one day!"
"...Twelve pairs?"
Su Ping's expression became a little complicated for a moment.
There are also people in Xiaohe Village who sell straw sandals to the county.
This thing is not something you can just wrap hay around for a few times. If you want to sell well, it must be strong and durable. And such straw sandals are enough for an adult to make seven or eight pairs a day.
Shen Xian'er is estimated to be only twelve or thirteen years old, playing twelve pairs a day?
Seeing Su Ping's silence, Shen Xian'er thought she was being restrained by herself, and felt relieved for a while. She pushed the white porcelain bowl forward and said, "Eat quickly, it will get cold if you don't eat, so don't be polite to me."
"..."
Are you still acting here with me?
Su Ping twitched his eyebrows twice and said, "No, you can eat. I should have sent mine too."
With that said, Su Ping stood up and brought in the food box that had appeared outside the house at some point.
"Um...I'm going back first, please use it slowly."
Shen Xianer felt a little guilty and said goodbye.
Just as he reached the door, Su Ping's voice suddenly sounded from behind.
"stop!"
Su Ping stopped Shen Xian'er, and after she looked over, he pointed at the table and asked, "Excuse me, what's going on?"
On the table, three layers of food boxes were separated, and each contained a beautifully carved celadon plate. However, the plate was empty and the light was discernible.
"Ah? What's going on?"
Shen Xianer's eyes were darting wildly, and she looked around and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."
Su Ping smiled and continued to ask: "Have you seen my food?"
Shen Xian'er began to rack her brains: "Well, the plate is empty? It must have been stolen. Tsk, tsk, tsk, this Duke's mansion is not safe, Su Ping, remember to hide the money."
"..."
Su Ping suppressed his laughter and said, "That's okay. Please help me keep an eye on it in the future. If you catch the thief, you'll be rewarded. If you don't, I won't blame you."
There is no such thing as a thief. If there really is one, it would be Shen Xian'er herself.
As usual, the food box was delivered before Su Ping returned home, but Shen Xianer took it away.
Although Shen Xianer put down the food box lightly enough before entering the door, how could this be hidden from Su Ping's perception?
"no problem!"
Shen Xian'er patted her chest hard twice and said with loyalty: "I helped you with this. Who told us to be neighbors?"
After saying that, Shen Xianer pushed open the door and walked out, thinking that this person was really easy to fool.
Su Ping turned his head and looked at the white porcelain bowl on the table, and couldn't help but feel a toothache.
This little girl is so ruthless that she doesn't even leave a vegetable leaf for herself. She fills a big bowl with nothing but rice.
