Hongxiu's head was buried even lower. It turned out that the young lady disliked her for being useless...

But after a while, Hongxiu seemed to sense something was wrong from Mu Qiaoxi's words.

What does the young lady mean by this... is that she should teach Aunt Qu a lesson?

Hong Xiu held back the tears that were about to burst out, and looked at Mu Qiaoxi with slightly surprised eyes.

However, the latter just untied the embroidered cloth with a normal expression, and ordered in a leisurely manner, "Take the bubbles and ask someone to dry them over a charcoal fire. Don't be too close, and don't be too far away."

If it's too close, the fabric will be easily deformed; if it's too far, the fabric will be too wet.

Hongxiu finally understood. Mu Qiaoxi was hard-spoken and soft-hearted. How could she forget it?

She was so happy that she almost burst into tears, but when she thought of what Mu Qiaoxi said, she pretended to be scared and nodded, took the fabric of the python robe with both hands, and walked out with cheerful little steps.

Mu Qiaoxi looked at her cheerful back, feeling a little helpless for this silly girl. She yawned and lazily crawled onto the bed, ready to take a nap before getting up and continuing to work.

There is a limited amount of mountain spring water in Muhou Mansion every day, which is placed next to the patio and together with the area for washing clothes.

Hong Xiu held the fabric of the python robe and came to a clean sink. She poured ladles of mountain spring water into the tub, and then soaked the fabric of the python robe in it.

"The mistress's clothes are the most important. Others' clothes are put in the back and washed later."

At this time, Aunt Qu's domineering voice came from behind. Hongxiu had a bad feeling, but she was also particularly contemptuous.

This old guy is taking advantage of Su's face again.

Hongxiu didn't want to cause trouble, so she quietly did her own thing, soaking the silk thread in the cold spring water little by little.

A figure suddenly appeared in the reflection of the basin, it was the wrinkled old face of Aunt Qu.

"Hongxiu, you damn girl, how can a young yellow-haired girl like you take care of such a precious fabric as a python robe? Get out of here!"

When Nanny Qu arrived at the place where all the slaves were, she showed her ugly face.

He thinks he is the leader among his slaves and dares to give orders to anyone.

Aunt Qu's wishful thinking was loud and clear. She snatched the opportunity to clean the python robe from Hongxiu and sent it to the eldest lady later, which was another shame.

Hongxiu was also frightened to the point of conditioned reflex, and almost subconsciously let go of her hand.

But the next moment, thinking of what Mu Qiaoxi had just said to him, he mustered up the courage to push Aunt Qu away.

"Mommy is already an old man in the Muhou Mansion. How come you don't even know these rules?"

Aunt Qu never thought that this little girl Hongxiu would one day be in love with her.

"What did you say?" She didn't react for a moment and said in surprise.

"What did I say? Mammy, could it be that you have forgotten that you have already gone to the outer courtyard to serve the eldest lady's orders. If the errands in the inner courtyard are not arranged by the lady, are you worthy of it?"

Hongxiu's voice is already loud, and her red clothes are even more eye-catching.

Many servants who came to wash clothes paid attention to this area intentionally or unintentionally, and a few even gathered around to watch the excitement.

Aunt Qu couldn't help it, she stood with her hands on her hips and yelled loudly.

"How much qualifications do you have, little girl? When I joined the Marquis Mansion to serve the master, you were not even born yet. How dare you use the eldest lady to suppress me?! In terms of closeness, I watched the young lady grow up. The relationship between me and the young lady is

How close can a little girl like you be?"

She finished speaking complacently, but she didn't want Hongxiu to look at her with disdain.

Hong Xiu had already heard such words, and her ears were on edge. With the beginning she had just made, all the fear in her heart disappeared.

"You don't want to think about how you have been relying on your old age for so many years. Why did the lady transfer you to the outer courtyard? Isn't it because you have been ignored for a long time? You are old. Please ask your mistress to let you go home to farm as soon as possible, and you can end up with a decent ending.

, What kind of skills do you have to show off to us here to show your qualifications!"

With that said, Hongxiu was about to pick up the python robe fabric that had been soaked in the wooden basin. Aunt Qu refused to obey and immediately reached out and grabbed the wooden basin in Hongxiu's hand.

"How dare you, girl, talk to me like this? If I don't teach you a lesson today, you are getting more and more outrageous!"

Hongxiu was now focused on what Mu Qiaoxi had told her. When she saw Aunt Qu holding the wooden basin in her hand, she shouted in fear.

"Aunt Qu! This is the fabric used for the lady's embroidered python robe. Are you confused? How dare you touch the lady's things?!"

Aunt Qu not only stretched out her hand to grab the wooden basin, but also grabbed Hongxiu's hair with her other hand.

If you were really caught with your hair disheveled in front of so many servants, you might not have the face to see anyone in the future.

Hong Xiu panicked and pushed the wooden basin in her hand directly towards Aunt Qu. With quick eyesight and quick hands, she grabbed the python robe inside and hugged her body. Along with the cool spring water from the basin, she pushed Aunt Qu to the ground.

My whole body was wet.

Hongxiu looked at the dripping fabric in her hands in panic. Fortunately, it was nothing serious.

She quickly folded the soaked fabric to avoid creases after drying.

Grandma Qu fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time. She kept screaming "ouch, ouch, ouch," but no one around her dared to come forward to help her.

She was so angry that she started shouting.

"What are you all doing in a daze? Are you all rebelling? I am a person from Mistress's yard! If you are still dazed, wait until I go back and tell Mistress, and you will all be punished!"

There are already a few people around who are eager to give it a try. Anyway, they think that Hongxiu is just the person next to the eldest lady. Aunt Qu has qualifications, the respect of the mistress, and the respect of the eldest lady, so she cannot offend her for Hongxiu.

.

Aunt Qu struck while the iron was hot and said even more arrogantly: "As long as you teach this damn girl a lesson, whoever contributes the most will be rewarded if I tell the mistress!"

Hong Xiu saw that many people were looking at her with malicious eyes, so she was naturally frightened. She took a few steps back unconsciously, and those people took a few steps forward.

"Why is there such a cowardly person as you around me?"

Mu Qiaoxi's words suddenly echoed in Hongxiu's mind, and she felt a surge of courage in her heart and took a few steps forward.

"Are you all crazy? We are all servants, and she, an old slave, dares to decide rewards and punishments for her master? Are you all stupid? You still listen to her!"

Hongxiu moved forward with great momentum.

Those who bullied the weak and feared the strong would naturally shrink back. No one dared to bear the charge of being associated with evil slaves.

Hongxiu saw that it was almost the same and didn't dare to entangle too much. She just wanted to find an opportunity to run away quickly.

On the face, she still looked confident.

"I'm not telling you. If you get involved with this old thing again, you don't know how you will be dragged down by her in the future. You can all do your own thing."

After saying that, Hongxiu hugged the wet cloth and got away without looking back.
