Chapter 269 Ruyi 66
"Although I met Li Yu today, he was holding a food box in his hand and was in a hurry to give it to Fu Jin, so I didn't have time to explain the matter to Li Yu."
After carefully talking about today's events, Suo Xin carefully raised her head and observed Qingying's expression opposite her.
After seeing that the other party only had an expression of regret but not anger on his face, Suo Xin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this hurdle for today was finally over.
Qingying had indeed expected this result, so there was no fluctuation in her expression. She just nodded.
"Is that so? It's okay. This matter really can't be rushed."
As she spoke, Qingying stood up and walked to惢心, took her hand and spoke earnestly.
"惢心, I know I have wronged you in this matter, but don't worry, when you are old enough, I will definitely help you choose a good family and marry you off in a grand manner."
Qingying had said such things to Aruo many times before, and Aruo was always happy every time she heard them.
So Qingying thought that if she said this to Suoxin, she would be happy and would be more willing to help her in the future.
Unfortunately, Qingying is still a little young. She doesn’t know that some words will have different effects when spoken to different people.
At this moment,惢心 was filled with terrified fear because of Qingying's words.
If Qingying had said this in the past, Suoxin might have believed it a little.
But since she saw through Qingying's true nature, Suoxin not only didn't believe a word of hers, but even because of Qingying's words, a lot of things went through her mind.
Fortunately, she was still calm and knew that this was not the place where she could think peacefully.
So惢心 quickly suppressed the thoughts in her mind, put on a shy look on her face, and knelt down to pull out her hand and express her loyalty to Qingying.
"No matter what the master said, Suo Xin doesn't want to get married. Suo Xin wants to take care of the master for the rest of her life."
After she finished speaking, Ruoxin was thinking in her heart.
(When I find an opportunity, I must escape from here)
However, her appearance successfully deceived Qingying. Seeing惢心 kneeling in front of her, Qingying raised her head with some pride. She did not subdue惢心 until惢心 finished speaking.
"Okay, I know you're sincere. Since you don't want to talk about it, let's talk about it later. You've been tired all afternoon, so go and have a rest. Lingzhi and the others will take care of you."
"Thank you for your consideration of me."
She made an touched expression again, looked up and saw Qingying nodded to her with satisfaction, then Suoxin carefully retreated.
After returning to her room, Suo Xin finally let go of her strength and sat down on the bed dejectedly.
Qingying's words just now reminded her that although palace maids could leave the palace and get married at the age of 25, it would be impossible for her to leave the palace unless the concubine was willing.
The concubine was cold-blooded and heartless. She could even abandon the maid who grew up with her, let alone her, a maid who came later.
Fortunately, she is only seventeen years old now, and there are still eight years before she leaves the palace. In eight years, Suo Xin doesn't believe that she will not have a way to get rid of being a concubine within eight years.
Thinking of this, Suo Xin felt a little relieved, but in order not to expose her intention to escape, she had to be more careful in everything she did from now on.
Moreover, she needed to discuss this matter with Li Yu carefully. Otherwise, when she found a way to get out of it in the future, it would be bad if Li Yu was implicated because of her.
Clutching the handkerchief in her hand, Suo Xin quickly made plans in her mind.
At this moment, in Qingying's room, Qingying was eating dinner while listening to Sanbao telling her about the meeting between惢心 and Li Yu.
"......After that, Eunuch Li Yu did indeed hurriedly walk towards the main courtyard. Although I was afraid of being discovered because I was far away and could not hear some of his words clearly, I did not hear Miss惢心 tell Eunuch Li Yu that Concubine Shi had sent her there."
After swallowing the chicken soup in her mouth, Qingying nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, it's too easy to be exposed if you follow her. So, you can find a young eunuch with a relatively unfamiliar face to follow Suo Xin later. Remember, you must be careful and don't let anyone find out."
"Yes, I understand."
After receiving the order, Sanbao turned around and left. When he was leaving, he turned around and bumped into Yunzhi who was coming in with a basin of water.
For a moment, Sanbao felt a trance in his head. Even though his body was soaked by water, he did not react.
Seeing him standing there in a daze, Yunzhi's eyes first flashed with a hint of satisfaction, and then she apologized to Sanbao in a panic.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Uncle Sanbao, I didn't mean it."
Yunzhi's scream woke Sanbao from his panic. Seeing Yunzhi apologizing to him with red eyes, Sanbao looked down and found that his body was wet.
Looking at Yunzhi, whose eyes were as red as a little rabbit, Sanbao was not angry, but first took a look inside the hall.
Seeing that their noise did not disturb Qingying, he whispered to comfort the little girl who had just been promoted from a cleaning maid by the concubine.
"Shh, keep your voice down, I'm fine, I'll just go change my clothes. If the concubine hears you, you'll be punished."
Unexpectedly, the other party did not blame her. Yunzhi looked up in surprise and saw that Sanbao did not lie to him. Then she happily showed a sweet smile and bowed slightly to Sanbao.
"Thank you, Grandpa Sanbao"
Seeing her being so polite, Sanbao quickly stopped her.
"Okay, I have something else to do. Go get another basin of water. It's okay that you bumped into me today, but you should be more careful when serving the concubine in the future. You must never do something like this again, okay?"
Hearing Sanbao's instructions, Yunzhi nodded quickly.
"My slave understands"
"Well, go quickly"
Watching Yunzhi trotting away and disappearing, Sanbao finally came to his senses and returned to his room to change his clothes.
But he couldn't help but think of惢心, with whom he had worked for many years. Thinking of himself following her behind惢心's back, Sanbao sighed with some guilt in his heart.
If possible, he didn't want to do this, but his master had already ordered it, so how could he refuse?
Aren't these people there to serve the master? He knew that the way the master handled A Ruo's matter had left Suo Xin with a grudge, and the master's temper had also changed a lot in the past two years.
But as they are the master's men, isn't it their duty even if the master asks them to die?
So even though Sanbao felt guilty about his master not trusting Ruoxin and asking him to monitor her, he would still obey his master's orders.
