Chapter 36 Rift
I fixedly looked at the woman in front of me. A crimson skirt was knelt down by her and spread to the ground. I don't know if it's contaminated with dust. This room was swept by the green song in the outer courtyard... My fingers tapped on the edge of the collapse, and at such a quiet moment, it was particularly harsh.
Once upon a time, I also bullied others with her. Looking at her trembling body, the hairpin on the bun, which I gave, trembled slightly in the air.
In an instant, I felt a little dizzy - why?
In most of the world, people will ask "why" when they encounter things that they don't understand. Why did the lover I once miss finally find out to be a wolf-hearted jackal? Why do I smile day after day and want to be kind to others, but always stab me in the back? Even why is the face I carefully maintained inevitably old in the end?
And the person in front of me, I treat you sincerely, how can you not treat me sincerely?
I touched my face too much. I can't help sighing: I'm old. My aunt is too old. Then he said, "There's nothing wrong with you. It's all my fault."
She may still be ready to defend me, but she didn't expect to disarm and surrender immediately when she met my aunt. She opened her mouth. This appearance, as if she was going to play a loyal daughter who was full of loyalty and filial piety, suddenly became discouraged.
She shaved and finally said, "Master. The maidservant didn't mean to."
Oh? My aunt's eyes are too closed.
She said, "Three years ago, the master said to the maidservant, Xiaohong, I have a task to give you, and the maidservant happily took over this task - never thought that the task the master said was to accompany the master." Even if I close my eyes, it seems that I can see her eyes shining and tears oozing out, "As long as I accompany the master, make him happy, protect him, and don't let others bully him, the task is completed. Master, I have been with you for three years. Is there any place where I have been negligent?
No. I know she didn't.
She continued: "It would have been of great use for the master to cultivate us. Presumably, the master also knows that our master... is a person who wants to do great things. He worked very hard and was fine outside. When he came back to the house, the master didn't give him a good look. But despite this, he still gave the best to his master. Since the maidservant has come to serve the master and wants to share some worries for the master, what's wrong?
Of course, there is nothing wrong.
There seemed to be crying in her words: "Master, if you are dissatisfied, just come to the slave maidservant. Don't do anything else to chill the master. You said you were worried that the masters of other yards would stumbling you - what is it worth? The maidservant said a disrespectful word. In this house, if you want to walk horizontally, no one wants you to go straight. Why do you need to alienate the master for such a ridiculous excuse?
My aunt has been closing her eyes calmly. The weather in July is very comfortable only in such an evening. In my aunt's house, the window was open, and the fragrance of gardenia outside floated in - it was not a valuable flower, but it was my aunt's favorite.
When I opened my eyes, my heart was already clear. I said, "So you like the master." This is not a joke in the past. Not doubt, but affirmation. The original shadowy conjectures have become a calm "So you like the master" today.
What's worth liking for the old and immortal? I sighed softly, "If you like it, just like it. Why pull me in? I'm not an intolerant person. If you had said it earlier, you would have been promoted to a bun with my kindness to you in the past. In addition, you are a person carefully cultivated by the master. You feel that you have been wronged with me, and you didn't say it earlier. If you had said it earlier, I would have said it earlier..."
"Master!" She straightened up and interrupted me. Xiaohong, there are few times when you take the initiative to interrupt me.
I smiled and listened to her continue to say, "I know who I am. The slave maidservant came to serve his master by the order of the master, but now he has separated the master from his master, which is simply irrevocable. I don't think much about anything else. I just want to know, master, you can make fun of any servant, but why can't you give the master a chance? The master's heart for you, others don't know, don't you know? Why do you need to do something that makes enemies happy and painful for their relatives?
Why?
Puff - Xiaohong also asked "why". My aunt covered her stomach and smiled happily, and also shook her head: "Why?"
Seeing that her face is getting more and more ugly, her heart is mixed with half of the pleasure and half sadness - this is my Xiaohong, who once combed my hair every day and praised me as the most beautiful aunt in the backyard. In the past three years, Xiao Cui and Xiaohong have almost lived together...
I turned my face and said, "Xiao Hong, you are smarter than Xiao Cui in everything, and maybe you are smarter than me. Why don't you understand? Besides, don't you understand what's wrong with you now?"
I just said something angry. I said she was right, it was all my fault. I thought she could admit her mistake cleanly. If so, if possible, we still have one ten thousandth of our expectations in our hearts. Maybe we can pretend that nothing has happened. The couple fought at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed. What's more, the three masters and servants of us. But she said that the topic went round and round, and she couldn't leave the old immortal.
Her carriage words are actually one sentence: "Master, it doesn't matter if you don't want Xiaohong. It doesn't matter if you lose Xiaohong, but don't be estranged from the master."
Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui, never said such a thing.
In this atmosphere, even my aunt can't help but want to cry. It must be in the sand. I'm angry. There's nothing else. I just want to ask you, have our feelings been fake in the past three years? Even the iron heart is warm. How can she only think about her master when she has something to do?
I can tolerate her liking the master, she can tolerate her behind her back, doing some harmless little actions for her master, and even tolerating her putting the master in front of me, but I just can't tolerate it. For three years, when I have something to do, she doesn't do anything. As long as it's her master's order, she has to Execute it like an arrow - in her heart, is there a slightest position for me as a master?
If it were Xiao Cui, it wouldn't be like this.
She had already cried "Oh--" and said, "Master, but the master has been to you for more than three years. Why can't you think about him a little?"
Her sentence completely cut off the last glimmer of extravagance in my heart.
I smiled and said, "Xiaohong, you have been with me for so long. Don't you know that no one or anything can force me to do what I don't want to do?" I turned around and stood up. After leaning on for so long, I stood up and felt dizzy and unstable. I said with all my strength, "In this case, I will keep you."
I can't guard against her every time I calculate her noble and righteous master, can I?
"There is still a lack of maid in the laundry room. I think you are skillful. If you help us wash clothes, you will be able to wash those clothes very well. Looking at your loyalty to the master, I will give you a blessing. From now on, you can only wash the master's clothes.
I can't see her face, so I don't know her expression. I only heard the silence for a long time, and there was a kowtow from behind.
I will never admit it. When I heard the three kowtows, my heart seemed to have been stabbed hard. My aunt just smiled and thought: Look, you are so loyal to your master, why didn't he come to help you? He will definitely take you back and take you where you should go. Wasn't you specially trained for his big event?
When Xiao Cui came in and pushed me, I didn't know that I had stood for a long time. The face is wet.
I still smiled and said to Xiao Cui, "Xiao Cui, I just thought about it. Wasn't the master angry with me last time? In order to please him, I decided to find a few maids.
When talking, if you ignore the rolling drops of water on your face, my aunt's appearance, um, is quite noble and cold.
