The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

Chuixue stopped and looked her up and down carefully, which made Dongzao feel uneasy. She tangled her fingers together, pulled her handkerchief, and dared not say a word.

"Come in with me."

Hearing her unquestionable voice, Dongzao had no choice but to follow Chuixue into the back room.

"Come in! Who taught you the rules!" Chuixue stopped and turned around to find that Dongzao had one foot in the door and the other foot outside the threshold, as if he was about to run away at any time, so she couldn't help but scold him loudly.

Dong Zao's face turned pale and he almost knelt down. He trembled as he walked closer and quickly admitted his fault: "Sister Chuixue, it's my fault. I shouldn't have talked to Lord Beile."

Chuixue slowly poured herself a cup of boiling hot tea. Steam covered her face, and her voice was inarticulate: "Really? I should have punished you yesterday, but I was afraid of disturbing the master and the prince. Don't you remember?"

Dong Zao hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, sister. I will go find Brother Zhao to accept the punishment."

"No need."

Chuixue's heart gradually turned cold. These four second-class maids were brought up by her and Aunt Zhang themselves. After careful examination for a long time, they were allowed to enter the house to serve.

Dong Zao is lively and cheerful, and she usually doesn't care much about her. But in the past few days, her ambition has been obvious. Maybe the prince is going to leave the mansion for the grassland, and the master is not following him, so she thinks she has an opportunity.

"You made all this noise just to attract the prince's attention. Dongzao, don't treat everyone as fools. I didn't punish you yesterday because I wanted to give you a warning, but you became even worse. Do you have any regard for your master's kindness when you do this?"

Dongzao blushed, and Chuixue's words made her feel ashamed.

The master is indeed a kind-hearted person, and he will tolerate even small mistakes. On weekdays, he always has an ample supply of sour plum soup, mung bean soup, coal, etc., and he also gives rewards from time to time.

"But, no matter how kind-hearted the master is, you should not think that she is easy to deceive. Do you think that you can leave some impression on Lord Beile?" Fubuki looked at her with some contempt, "Who else do you think Lord Beile can take seriously besides the master?"

Dong Zao couldn't help but mutter, "The prince is going out, and the master can't follow him. Instead of letting Qing Fu Jin serve the prince, it's better for me to go. I will definitely listen to the master and mention the master in front of the prince from time to time."

Fubuki was so angry at this stupid thing that she laughed, "Why would you be needed? A toad wants to eat swan flesh, take a piss and look at yourself! You are a traitor."

Chuixue knew clearly in her heart that her master would not let anyone get close to the prince, and no third person would be able to come between them.

Sometimes, when she was serving, she felt that the two masters were like two different worlds from them. No matter who was around, they could only see each other.

Chuixue had already made it clear in her mind that the winter dates could not be kept.

Looking at Chuixue's calm face, Dongzao felt an inexplicable fear in her heart. She originally thought that even if she failed, the master would at most punish her to do work somewhere else. However, the tongue of Niuhulu suddenly flashed before her eyes.

No master is truly weak and can be bullied.

"Sister Fubuki, I was really wrong. I know I was confused and I am a toad. I will never dare to do it again. Please, sister, give me a way to live!"

Dongzao suddenly knelt down and grabbed Chuixue's skirt tightly, his knuckles turning white, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

The tea in Chuixue's hand was scalding hot, scalding her fingers red. This was a punishment for herself. She must be more attentive when serving her master in the future. She must not allow such an ungrateful person to appear in Qingzhiyuan again.

Zhao Fuhai opened the curtain and smiled when he saw the scene: "Miss Chuixue, you are too slow. Do you want me to help you?"

Dong Zao was so frightened that she couldn't speak, tears streaming down her face, and she hid behind Chuixue. She knew Zhao Fuhai's methods, and the eunuchs were all more vicious than each other.

Chuixue suddenly poured the teacup in her hand onto Dongzao's face. The scalding hot tea immediately splashed all over her delicate face, making it red. Several blisters appeared on her face in an instant, making her look horrible.

"Ah!" Dong Zao was trembling due to the burns. Just as he was about to let out a shrill scream, Zhao Fuhai covered his mouth, so he could only make a whimpering sound.

He was very strong. He held a rough cloth handkerchief, grabbed Dongzao's neck with one hand, and covered her mouth and nose with the other hand, preventing her from making any sound. No matter how Dongzao struggled and twisted, she could not escape Zhao Fuhai's hand.

After a while, Dong Zao's struggling hands and feet gradually stopped, and he lost his breath.

"Dongzao came to work this morning without waking up, and accidentally fell into the well. Give her family twenty taels of silver and send them away." Chuixue had a blank expression on her face, but just clenched her fists.

Zhao Fuhai said "Pah" to the woman who collapsed on the ground, then smiled and said, "Miss Chuixue is kind-hearted."

Chuixue rolled her eyes at him and snorted, "Don't be so sarcastic. If the excuse you give is not nice, any word of it will affect the reputation of the master."

Zhao Fuhai's sinister eyes frightened everyone: "Why give this bitch the face she deserves? Throw her into a mass grave and feed the dogs."

"This is Madam Zhang's order. If you are dissatisfied, go and talk to her."

Hearing about Aunt Zhang, Zhao Fuhai immediately turned into harmless mode and said with a smile, "Why bother her? Aunt Zhang is really wise."

Chuixue ignored Zhao Fuhai. Her master was about to wake up, so she had to help him wash and dress.

She was not soft-hearted, nor could she be. Chuixue told herself that she would do anything for her master. Dongzao was no longer useful. If she was left alone, even if she no longer approached Beile, her loyalty would be hard to tell, and she would become a knife for others to attack her master in the future.

She couldn't put her master in danger.

The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant's nest.

Nanny Zhang said that as a slave, the most important thing to do is to be loyal.

Those who fail to do this will only bring disaster upon themselves, no matter what happens.

Changning woke up from a sleep and felt satisfied. She had been very fulfilled in recent days. It would have been great if Yinzhen didn't leave. Now she had to seize the opportunity.

However, when she heard Fubuki's report, she still became displeased. After pondering for a moment, she said three words.

"You're too careless."

Fubuki felt a burning pain on her face and quickly knelt down to apologize: "Master, please forgive me. It's my fault that I didn't realize Dongzao's treachery earlier, which led to her gradually going astray."

"What does this have to do with you, silly Chuixue, get up quickly." Changning helped her up, "You are my most capable maid. Although Zhuiyu has been with me since she was a child, she is ignorant of the world and her mind is not as delicate as yours. If you still want to apologize, I don't have many people around me who can be used."

After hearing what his master said, Fubuki suddenly felt willing to die.

She is the most typical slave in ancient times. Because of the difference in status, she is born loyal and only recognizes her master.

Thinking of Dongzao, Changning still mentioned: "Remember to burn some paper money. In the future, Qingzhiyuan still needs to be carefully investigated."
