New widow

This is the second time Song Zhen heard this today, so Song Zhen couldn't help but lean on Su Qiao's shoulder: "Aunt Kuang, don't you never believe in fate?"

If Suqiao is really a resigned person, she should just stay in the countryside at this time, wait until the three years of filial piety is over, let her mother-in-law remarry her, and collect the money as a bride price, so that she can find a wife for her brother-in-law and others.

Instead of living a quiet life here like now. Su Qiao was stopped by Song Zhen's words. After a long time, Su Qiao gathered Song Zhen's hair on her temples: "Silly boy, you don't know. Sometimes, you have to accept your fate."

I have to accept my fate, when will that happen? Song Zhen looked at Su Qiao, but Su Qiao was unwilling to explain more: "Besides, many times, there are times when manpower is insufficient. If I had the ability, I would not want my mother to encounter such a thing."

Song Zhen knew that Suqiao's mother was rarely mentioned by Suqiao, but Suqiao's mother was the most serious wound in Suqiao's heart. She didn't know when this wound would heal, so it was not something Suqiao mentioned occasionally. The regret in his words was so thick that it was impossible to separate.

"It's not your fault." Song Zhen's words made Suqiao smile: "I know, it's not my fault, but Zhen'er, many times, people will regard these things as their own fault. That's the only way , you will feel better."

Only in this way will she feel better. Song Zhen doesn't know how to comfort Su Qiao, so she can only hold Su Qiao's hand tightly.

"Okay, this is a good lesson for you. Don't be too reckless in the future." Su Qiao patted Song Zhen's face. Song Zhen hummed, but still looked at Su Qiao's face.

"What do you think I did?" Suqiao asked softly, but Song Zhen didn't answer and couldn't express her regret.

"Why didn't you tell Sister Kuang?" Xia Yun entered the room, and Zhou Le had already stepped forward to greet him, looking at Xia Yun's wounds carefully.

Xia Yun blocked it with his hand and said to Zhou Le: "If I tell Madam Kuang, she will definitely stop her, and my sister will not suffer this loss. Then next time, she will definitely make her own decisions and break out." The disaster will be even greater.”

"Even so, you can tell Sister Kuang to let her..." Before Zhou Le could finish his words, he heard Xia Yun say: "I know, but she still can't remember it unless she really suffers a loss."

"You don't have to put yourself in danger." Xia Yun already smiled: "Sister Zhou, I am different from you. Although I call you sister, I know that this is because you are treating me well. I have been taught since I was a child that if If something like this happens, you have to stand in front of the master."

Xia Yun is a son of the Chen family. He has learned how to serve his master since he was a child, so that he can serve him well and win his favor. Zhou Le doesn't have to learn these things. In fact, Zhou Le can use his maids to stand in front of him.

These words made Zhou Le silent. The door had been opened. Song Zhen stood at the door and looked at Xia Yun.

Xia Yun didn't expect that Song Zhen had been released by Su Qiao, so Xia Yun stood up and said, "Why are you here? Now..."

"Sister!" Song Zhen called out and leaned into Xia Yun's arms. Xia Yun patted her gently: "What are you unhappy about?"

"I have never thought about what kind of life my sister is living." Song Zhen looked up at Xia Yun, who smiled: "Being a girl's personal maid is just like a deputy lady. Good food and good clothes, others Everyone wants to do it.”

"But sister still has to serve the girl, and..." Before Song Zhen finished speaking, Xia Yun looked down at Song Zhen: "You don't have to be sad for me, I am the son of the Chen family, and it is inevitable to do this. .”

"But, but," Song Zhen felt that she was really well protected by everyone. Song Zhen had never really been exposed to the ugliness in the world, so naturally she didn't know what kind of life others lived.

"Look, you and Sister Zhou both like to talk about but." Xia Yun smiled faintly, and Zhou Le shook his head slightly: "I know that you still have a little distinction between master and slave in your heart."

"It's not wrong if you say that." Xia Yun said calmly. After saying that, Xia Yun smiled again: "However, this is not the difference between master and slave, but that you and I are both in the deep house. When you get up, you are in a different position, and naturally you face different things."

Xia Yun's words made Zhou Le think a lot. Although Xia Yun had no mother, he learned a lot of skills in controlling people from his grandmother and the chats between his sisters. The most important thing for servants of high-ranking families is loyalty. Apart from loyalty, they are capable.

It wasn't until this moment that Zhou Le understood one thing from Xia Yun's words. The servants are human beings too. If you want to gain their loyalty, you must first treat them as a person.

"It is said that all living beings in the six realms are equal, but I still have the intention of being arrogant." Zhou Le sighed softly. Xia Yun understood this sigh, so Xia Yun smiled: "All living beings are equal, but the world also knows that , how can all living beings be equal?"

"Why did you all pick up Zen all of a sudden? Could it be that this is what you learned in the nunnery?" Song Zhen asked in surprise. Only then did Zhou Le and Xia Yun look at her, and then Zhou Le pressed Song Zhen's Jian: "What Xia Yun and I talked about were not Zen words, but I only realized it now. I still have a lot to learn."

"As for me, I've just seen a few things. Sister Zhou usually doesn't see these things." Xia Yun spoke softly, and Song Zhen also hummed.

"In the future, I want to talk to you more and stop being so playful." Song Zhen's words made Xia Yun reach out and scratch her nose: "I envy you, you can be playful."

And the maid, even if she wants to be playful, she will be scolded. How can she be so playful? Even the so-called playfulness is just a matter of looking at the blooming flowers above the head when passing by the garden, or even going out to get something and coming back late, and the mother will say, "How can you be so greedy?" Play.

Diligence and loyalty are the requirements of the Chen family for their servants, and Xia Yun faithfully performs his duties.

"Okay, no matter what, Zhen'er has learned a lesson." Zhou Le tapped Song Zhen's nose, and Song Zhen smiled. All living beings are equal, but how can all living beings be equal? Perhaps, only death is equal. No matter what kind of person they are, they cannot escape death. Otherwise, where can equality come from?

During dinner, Grandma Li came to report that the man in the woodshed refused to eat.

"So, he wants to die here with us?" Suqiao didn't even frown. Aunt Li nodded: "It seems that he does think so."

"The people behind this are really putting their money where their mouth is." After Su Qiao finished speaking, she muttered: "Go tell that person that if he wants to starve to death, then let him go. The British government can still kill a person if it wants to He escaped wholeheartedly.”
