Chapter 9: Beating Mother and Daughter
After Luo Qingqing returned, she did not dare to act too much, as she knew her current status was awkward. The most important thing for her now was to get her mother to come to her side and serve her.
Li Cui naturally went to Luo Wenqian to complain, crying like a pear blossom in the rain. She cried and said: "My poor daughter, although she lives in the same mansion with me now, I have no way to see her. How great it would be if I could see her!"
Seeing Li Cui's tearful face, Luo Wenqian was almost heartbroken. Luo Wenqian said to Li Cui: "Cui'er, don't worry, I will help you with this matter. How can I bear to see you and your daughter separated?"
After Li Cui got the answer she wanted, she started to laugh. She also coaxed Luo Wenqian to give her money. They were plotting in my yard.
I stayed in my room under the pretext of being sick, and naturally I would not go out at night. The two of them took advantage of this, so they dared to meet in my yard at night.
They naturally didn't expect that I was hiding in the yard, listening to all their conversations. Did they want to plot together? That was impossible.
I would never let that happen. They wanted to show their deep love under my watch? That was impossible.
The next day, I got up early and sat in the yard. I knew Li Cui had been slacking off, but I didn't have time to catch her.
Now that I have time, let's do the math. The air in the yard was good in the morning, and there were many fallen leaves on the ground. I took a stool and sat in the yard, wanting to see when Li Cui would come to sweep the yard.
The Prime Minister's Mansion treats servants quite well. Maids are usually asked to clean the house only at noon. Thinking that everyone needs to sleep in, they don't make things difficult for anyone.
But I waited in the yard until 9:00, but Li Cui still didn't come. At this time, Li Cui just got up. Li Cui always relied on the fact that she was my former wet nurse, so she acted arrogantly here.
I calculated the time accurately. Wang Yuyuan would ask me to have breakfast with her every morning. Today I didn't go, so Wang Yuyuan thought something was wrong with me, so she came to my yard to look for me.
Wang Yuyuan stepped into my yard and saw the fallen leaves all over the ground without anyone cleaning them up. She saw me sitting in the yard and frowned slightly. She knew that the fallen leaves should have been cleaned up, but now they were all over the ground.
I saw Wang Yuyuan coming, so I immediately threw myself into her arms and said, "Mom, why did you come to see Qingqing today? Qingqing didn't want to eat breakfast."
Wang Yuyuan hugged me, stroked my delicate face and said, "Qingqing, what's wrong? Why don't you feel like eating breakfast? You used to eat breakfast every day."
I hugged Wang Yuyuan's neck and said with a little cry in my voice: "I wanted to eat. But when I went out and saw the fallen leaves on the ground, I was in no mood to eat. Did the servant who was sweeping the floor for me leave? Or did this servant dislike me? Why didn't he come to sweep the floor?"
After I finished speaking, tears were still in my eyes and I looked aggrieved.
Wang Yuyuan was already a little angry when she saw that her daughter hadn't eaten because of the yard that hadn't been swept. She was so angry that she immediately asked the maid to notify Li Cui to come over.
Li Cui was still sleeping in her room. When the maid who went to inform her was scolded by her, she said, "I'm still sleeping. I'll never forgive anyone who dares to disturb my sweet sleep!"
The maid next to her had no choice but to say, "Oh no, the Prime Minister's wife is waiting for you in the young lady's courtyard now."
When Li Cui heard Wang Yuyuan looking for her, she immediately became alert. Her current status was not enough to compete with Wang Yuyuan. Living under someone else's roof, one had to look at other people's eyes, and Li Cui did not dare to offend them.
Li Cui immediately put on her clothes and went to my yard. When Li Cui saw Wang Yuyuan, she immediately knelt down and said, "Madam, I wonder what you want from me?"
Wang Yuyuan looked at Li Cui kneeling on the ground and said with a cold voice: "Do you know what time it is now?"
Li Cui stammered, "It's Si time now!"
Wang Yuyuan nodded and said, "Then why haven't the leaves in the yard been cleared yet? Am I too nice to you? Or do you have a problem with my daughter?"
Li Cui's hands were shaking, and she immediately said, "My servant, I didn't. I just had a stomachache this morning, and I'm feeling better now, so I didn't have time to sweep the floor!"
Wang Yuyuan smiled with an ambiguous meaning, and then said, "Is that really the case? Or are you just making up an excuse to be lazy?"
Li Cui immediately raised her hand and swore: "I swear, I am really feeling unwell. Otherwise, I will die without a burial place." People who love to lie can lie without blushing or beating their hearts!
Seeing her like this, Wang Yuyuan knew that she was not a good person and thought of using this as an excuse to kick her out.
But how could I let her have her way? After driving her out, Luo Qingqing could spend some money to let Li Cui continue to work in her room, or even not have to work. She could use Wang Yuyuan's money to support Li Cui.
I immediately said, "Mother, if that's the case, I believe she didn't do it on purpose. But my daughter wanted to see that the yard was clean when she woke up in the morning. Why don't you let her stay in my yard and let her clean the toilet!"
Wang Yuyuan looked at me with blinking eyes and naturally agreed. She said, "My dear daughter, this is your maid. You can punish her however you want. In this case, let her clean the toilet!"
Cleaning the toilet in the mansion was a job for the lowest servants. It was hard and tiring, and there was always that smell on your body.
Li Cui had never done these jobs before. When she heard that she was cleaning the toilet, she felt very aggrieved and looked at me with a hint of resentment. I pretended not to see it. What the hell was going on? The best part was yet to come.
Luo Qingqing also wanted to pay her respects to Wang Yuyuan today, and wanted to transfer Li Cui to her own courtyard. When she heard that Wang Yuyuan was in my room, she rushed over immediately.
When she rushed over, she saw Li Cui kneeling on the ground, trembling. She wanted to help Li Cui up, but her current status did not allow her to do so.
Wang Yuyuan saw Luo Qingqing coming. So she asked indifferently: "Qingqing, why are you here?"
Luo Qingqing knew that it was impossible for her to reveal that Li Cui was her mother, so she lied and said, "I heard that the eldest lady didn't go to have breakfast today, so I thought something happened, so I came to see her."
Wang Yuyuan listened to what Luo Qingqing said, knowing that this might not be her true thoughts, and decided to play along with her. Then she said, "Qingqing, thank you for worrying about my daughter so much. Nothing serious has happened, it's just that a servant did something wrong and has been transferred to wash the toilet!"
When Luo Qingqing heard that Li Cui was going to wash the toilet, she felt very aggrieved. They were both Luo Wenqian's wife and daughter, and Wang Yuyuan could enjoy being served by others, but Li Cui was going to wash the toilet.
Luo Qingqing felt that Wang Yuyuan's family had taken her place. She also knew that her current strength was no match for Wang Yuyuan's family.
Luo Qingqing said immediately: "I see. I thought it was something else. The young lady should also eat, there is no need to get angry with herself because of a servant."
Luo Qingqing wanted to use this incident to establish an image in the mansion that although she came later, she would not be harsh on servants. Knowing that she had no way to help Li Cui now, it would be better to let Li Cui become her stepping stone.
How could I give her such an opportunity? As soon as she was about to speak, I immediately said, "Mother, will the servants think I am arrogant and domineering?"
Wang Yuyuan's eyes were cold, and then she spoke to me gently: "Why would Qingqing have such an idea? If she had completed what she was supposed to do during normal working hours, we wouldn't have punished her, right? It's her own problem. Why would Qingqing think it's her own problem? Since she can't do these things well, wouldn't it be better if we let someone more capable do it?"
After hearing this, Luo Qingqing didn't dare to say anything, knowing that this matter was Li Cui's problem.
Wang Yuyuan took the opportunity to speak to the servants again: "We in the Prime Minister's Mansion will not deliberately target any servant. As long as everyone does their job well, we will naturally not punish anyone. We will also reward those who do well."
The servants all nodded and said yes. Luo Qingqing had been standing by. Wang Yuyuan smiled with an ambiguous expression and pulled Luo Qingqing to her side and said, "This is the Prime Minister's niece. She will live in the mansion from now on. You must take good care of her, otherwise people outside will say that we treat guests badly. You must not humiliate the Prime Minister's Mansion. Do you understand?"
The servants also understood Luo Qingqing's position in this mansion. Naturally, she could not compare with me. As long as they took good care of her, there was no need to spend all their efforts to take care of her.
After hearing this, Luo Qingqing's face turned green and then pale.
Not only that, Wang Yuyuan also took Luo Qingqing's hand and said: "In the future, you don't have to call me Madam in the Prime Minister's Mansion, just call me aunt. As for Qingqing, just call me cousin. After all, you two are cousins. If you need anything in the future, come to your aunt. If your aunt is not at home, just go to your cousin. Don't feel embarrassed, just treat this place as your own home!"
Luo Qingqing forced a smile and said, "Thank you, auntie. I'm sorry for bothering you. I'll let you know if I need anything. You have taken me in. I will definitely repay you when I grow up."
Luo Qingqing deliberately emphasized the word "aunt" very hard. She was now just an insignificant guest in the mansion, which naturally did not meet her expectations.
Wang Yuyuan looked at Luo Qingqing and me, and immediately said to us: "You haven't eaten yet, right? Let's go. Let's go eat together. Everyone else, go and do what you need to do!"
Wang Yuyuan held me with one hand and Luo Qingqing with the other, and no one paid attention to Li Cui behind her. Li Cui looked at Wang Yuyuan's receding back and was furious.
Li Cui kept cursing in her heart: "Bitch! This position should have been mine, but you took it away! And you dared to hold my daughter's hand! One day I will make you and your daughter die in front of me, and only then will I be content!"
Wang Yuyuan was indeed a noble lady from an aristocratic family. With just one sentence, she made Luo Qingqing's position in the mansion clear and explicit.
The servants were people who could see the situation clearly, so they naturally knew which ones needed their utmost service and which ones needed to be perfunctory.
He also took Luo Qingqing to have breakfast together. In the eyes of everyone, he loved Luo Qingqing as his own daughter, and no one could find fault with it.
I ate this breakfast very happily, taking big bites. On the other hand, Luo Qingqing barely touched the food in her bowl. After what happened today, she naturally had no appetite to continue eating.
Wang Yuyuan looked at Luo Qingqing who was not eating much, and said in shock: "Qingqing, why don't you eat? Is the food in this house not to your taste? Or is it because you just came to the capital and are not used to the food here? If you are really not used to it, then I will ask the servants to make another one!"
Luo Qingqing shook her head and said, "Aunt, that's not the case. It's just that I don't eat much on a daily basis! It's not that I don't like it. These dishes are all to my taste."
Wang Yuyuan didn't say anything else. After all, her body and mind were all on me now. Seeing how happily I was eating, Wang Yuyuan started to laugh.
Luo Qingqing was watching this loving mother and filial daughter scene, and she thought of her own mother who was sent to wash the toilet, and she could hardly hold back her tears. But because Wang Yuyuan and I were still there, she forced herself to hold back her tears.
Luo Qingqing began to regret that she should not have come to have this meal, as she was now filled with anger.
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms. Luo Qingqing returned to her room and silently shed tears. But no one comforted her at this time, and the servants treated her with indifference and alienation.
The servants would not flatter her, they just wanted Luo Qingqing to live normally, and they would not ignore her. Luo Qingqing had everything she should have, but compared to what I had, her things were naturally incomparable.
After crying, Luo Qingqing knew that now she could only please Wang Yuyuan and then play the victim to Luo Wenqian.
To please Wang Yuyuan and gain her trust, this will also alienate the relationship between Wang Yuyuan and me. As for Luo Wenqian, I like her. If she plays the victim and acts like a spoiled child, she can have many things.
Luo Qingqing started to feel happy again when she thought about this, as if she could become the most distinguished lady in the prime minister's mansion after completing this. As for her mother who was washing the toilet, she did not go to see her either.
Luo Qingqing herself couldn't stand her mother who smelled like a toilet. She just secretly gave some money to Li Cui occasionally!
