Chapter 359 The Consequences of Speaking Without Restraint
The two talked for a while, and then Zhu Huan went to the study, leaving Xie Yi quietly in the room.
She had a serene smile, and her whole body seemed to be enveloped in the gentle glow of motherhood.
At this time, Cui Er came in and kneaded her calves while complaining softly, "Miss, the eldest master is too ruthless!
And that Miss Rou'er, you were so kind to her, but today she was so cold..."
"Shut up!" Xie Yi suddenly shouted, his eyes turning cold as he looked at Cui'er. "Cui'er, I keep you by my side because you've served me for so many years and we've been master and servant.
If you dare to speak without restraint again, I will not dare to keep you any longer. The Zhu family has many servants. If you have a servant you like, you can just ask for him and I will make sure to arrange it for you.
Don't even think about climbing into the young master's bed. You must have seen what kind of person he is.
The young master does not tolerate disloyal people around him. If you betray me, he will not touch you. He will only send you far away to some farm and make you a servant."
Cui Er was so frightened that her face turned pale. She quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Miss, I know I was wrong! Please don't chase me away! I don't want to get married!"
Shay looked at her pale little face and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
She thought about how much she had served him for many years and originally wanted to arrange a good way out for Cui'er.
Her life was now a precarious one, and it was uncertain how long she would live. If someone took a fancy to Zhu Huan and wanted to be his wife, she would probably end up like the Luo family.
By then, what good will happen to Cui'er who serves her?
It must be cleaned up.
Only by letting Cui'er get married now and keep her away from all these troubles can we save Cui'er's life.
It’s a pity that Cui’er can’t see through this.
She was blinded by the Zhu family's wealth and wanted to stay in this wealthy family forever. She didn't want to go out and live a hard life.
In this case, this person can no longer stay.
Xie Yi is now living on thin ice, hoping to give birth to the child safely and have the child get close to Xie Ying or Xie Di.
How could he keep Cui'er, a potential danger, by his side now?
But she did not continue to scold Cui'er. Instead, she smiled and said gently, "Why are you kneeling down? Since you don't want to get married, why would I force you to do that? Hurry up and get up, don't kneel down."
Cui'er carefully looked at her expression, and seeing that she was no longer angry, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to continue massaging her legs.
She pinched it very carefully, but her lowered eyes concealed the ambition in them.
She didn't want to marry a servant, and even less did she want to leave the Zhu family and marry a commoner from a small family outside and live a hard life in the future.
Since she has to serve men anyway, why can't she serve her son-in-law?
My son-in-law is handsome and well-educated. He has become a juren at such a young age and will definitely be able to pass the imperial examination and become a jinshi in the future.
If she became a concubine, she would be half a master in the Zhu family. Not only would she have people to serve her, but the children she gave birth to would also be masters and ladies.
Isn’t it better than marrying an ordinary person from outside?
But the young lady is too confused. She is pregnant now and cannot serve her brother-in-law. It is the time when she should use the maids around her to consolidate his favor.
But she actually did nothing, just like a bodhisattva all day long, watching those vixens climb into her brother-in-law's bed and still able to laugh.
Cui'er was unhappy, but she didn't dare show it on her face.
She knew Xie Yi was right. Zhu Huan was not someone to be trifled with. If she dared to climb into his bed, she would not have a good ending.
Only if Xie Yi took the initiative to let her serve Zhu Huan would Zhu Huan take her as his concubine.
But Shay obviously didn't have that intention right now, so she could only wait.
Fortunately, she is still young and can wait.
Cui'er secretly glanced at Xie Yi, and seeing that she was not paying attention to her, she couldn't help but start to lose focus again, and began to imagine the days when she would be served by others in the future.
However, she did not notice that although Shay had a gentle smile on his face, his lowered eyes were filled with coldness.
That evening, after Zhu Huan had dinner with Xie Yi, he helped her walk for a while.
After the two of them finished their walk and returned to the house, Xie Yi dismissed the servants and pleaded in a low voice, "My husband, could you please have Cui'er sent back so that the maid at home can teach her some manners?"
She used to accompany me all the time and was spoiled by me. She is a little naive and ignorant of the world, and a little outspoken.
After all, the capital is not a county town, and I am no longer the young lady in the boudoir. I am confined to the backyard by my stepmother and rarely see guests.
I am afraid that Cui Er will continue to speak without restraint and cause trouble. Not only will she bring shame to her husband, but she will also suffer.
Zhu Huan's eyes flashed, and he immediately agreed to Xie Yi's request: "I'll have someone arrange this matter. I'll send her away tomorrow, and I'll make sure someone teaches her the rules."
Xie Yi looked at him with eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you, my husband."
Zhu Huan comforted her a few more words, and seeing that it was getting late, he asked her to have a good rest, and then went out.
When he went out, he happened to see Cui'er standing at the door, looking at him shyly.
He smiled faintly: "Go and wait for your master to rest. Be sure to check the doors and windows to prevent her from being blown by the cold wind."
Cui Er seemed to be encouraged, her pretty face immediately turned red, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "I know."
Zhu Huan didn't say anything else and just left.
Cui Er stared at his back infatuatedly until his figure completely disappeared. Only then did she reluctantly withdraw her gaze, and shyly thought to herself: "My son-in-law is so handsome and has such a good temper. How great would it be if I could become his woman soon?"
At this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew over, making Cui'er shudder all over. She quickly came back to her senses from her previous fantasy and went into the house to serve Xie Yi.
After helping Shay to sleep, she also took the cup and slept on the footstool in case Shay got up in the middle of the night and needed someone to take care of him.
However, Shay rarely gets up at night, so Cui'er can sleep through the night most of the time.
It's the same this time.
When she woke up and opened her eyes, it was already dawn outside.
So he quickly got up, put on his clothes, yawned and stretched, then hurried out to get some water to wash up, ready to help Shay get up.
Shay did the same as usual. After she finished washing up and fetched some water, Shay woke up.
She hurriedly helped Xie Yi get dressed and wash up, and then Zhu Huan came over and had breakfast with Xie Yi.
The two of them didn't like having too many people around when they had breakfast, so they only left two maids to serve them, and Cui'er went to eat first.
She had become accustomed to such a life, and the Zhu family was rich, so even the food provided to the servants was very good.
Because she was Shay's personal maid, her daily meals were better than those of ordinary maids.
Cui'er was quite satisfied with the meal, but when she thought of what Xie Yi and Zhu Huan were eating, she couldn't help but envy them.
In fact, serving the master's meals is also a good job, because the master usually cannot finish the food, and the leftovers will be rewarded to the servants.
When Cui'er recalled those flavors, she couldn't help swallowing, and the food in front of her no longer tasted delicious to her.
So she ate a little quickly and prepared to go back to guard the door.
Unexpectedly, after taking just two steps, her vision went dark and she instantly fell to the ground.
At this time, the housekeeper came over and said: "Tie him up, gag him, and send him away immediately!"
Cui'er is Xie Yi's personal maid and knows a lot of things. It is not appropriate to sell her directly, so she can only be sent back to her hometown in Biyang County, arranged to live in a farm, and find someone to marry.
