Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

When Ruyi looked at the painting screen, she inexplicably thought of A Ruo.

She had lived with Ah Ruo for many years, never treated her badly in terms of food, clothing and daily expenses, and raised Ah Ruo like a pampered young lady.

A Ruo was punished by Gao Xiyue to be a disciple of Zhui Si. Ruyi copied Buddhist scriptures desperately just to let A Ruo finish her kneeling punishment earlier.

Afterwards, Ruyi personally fed Ah Ruo ginger soup and applied medicine to her. Ruyi treated Ah Ruo with sincerity.

But in the end, he was still betrayed.

Ruyi once thought that she had not done well enough.

Maybe she was too indulgent to A Ruo and forgot to guide her correctly, or maybe she didn't realize A Ruo's desire to be in a higher position and didn't help her.

But after what happened with A Ruo, she has become much more cautious than before.

He was also strict and lenient in governing his subordinates. He rewarded those who had done good deeds and punished those who had done wrong. He never allowed the palace servants to gossip or cause trouble outside.

Ruyi really couldn't understand.

Huaping, why did you betray her?

Ruyi put down the porcelain bowl containing the bird's nest in her hand, and stared at the screen with her dark eyes, as if she wanted to see through her.

"Huaping, you are a child born in the Ulanala mansion. Although your mother has passed away, your father is still working in the mansion.

My mother saw that your father was diligent and honest, and you were smart and sensible. After asking for your own opinion, she recommended you to enter the palace.

After you entered the palace, the government never treated you and your father unfairly. You were even allowed to exchange letters every few months.

So, you're not doing it for your family.

As a well-known maid in Yikun Palace, let alone your monthly salary, even the ladies of ordinary officials may not have as much money as you do in terms of rewards.

So, you are not doing this for money.

Then tell me, why did you betray me?

Could it be that you have a lover who is in the hands of Changchun Palace?"

Facing Ruyi's questioning, Huaping listened indifferently at first, then wiped away her tears and tried to support herself with her shoulders to sit up.

"My Lady, now that things have come to this, I know I can't survive. You don't have to think too much. If you want to know the reason, I'll tell you.

I am a child born in the Ulanala Mansion. My father is honest but also a coward.

Whenever my mother and I were wronged in the mansion, he would just tell us to bear it and never stand up for us.

But I will never forget how my mother died.

That time, when my mother was wiping the porcelain ornaments in the side hall, she accidentally broke a vase, which scared you who was passing by.

You didn't say much at the time, and you kindly asked my mother if her hand was cut.

But the maidservant beside you named A Ruo is not a good person.

After you left, she stayed and pointed at my mother's nose and cursed at her, saying that my mother was deliberately trying to scare you and was dissatisfied with you.

He also asked the clerk in the accounting office to deduct double the price of the vase from my mother's monthly salary.

I was too young to work. My mother was weak, and the family relied on the little money my father and mother earned from working hard to buy medicine to keep her alive.

But once the monthly salary was deducted, my mother's medicine would be cut off. I wanted to go to you to ask for an explanation, but my father stopped me and wouldn't let me go.

It is said that it is a mercy for the Ulanala Mansion to keep a sick servant to do work. We should not ask for too much.

Poor mother, she died of illness not long after. You all thought I was young and didn't remember much at that time. But I remember it clearly.

I hate Ah Ruo's harshness, and I also hate your kind appearance but evil heart."

Ruyi was extremely confused. She really didn't remember such a thing happening.

But what she was sure of was that she did not ask A Ruo to withhold the servants' wages, nor did she ask her to deduct double the price of the vase.

However, she is A Ruo's master, and the servants' arrogant and outrageous behavior is always related to their master's indulgence.

Ruyi sighed softly and explained sincerely and patiently, "I really didn't know about this matter.

However, I admit that I was too lenient with A Ruo in the past, so much so that she dared to act on her own behind my back.

But I didn’t expect that this incident would directly cost your mother her life.”

An indecipherable look welled up in Huaping's eyes, "My Lady Imperial Concubine, A'ruo is your maid. Even if you didn't instruct her to do what she did, it's ultimately related to you.

I have always kept this matter in mind with you and A Ruo. That is why I obediently agreed to enter the palace.

It is so that I can take revenge on you and A Ruo one day.

It’s a pity that I had just entered the palace for a short time and before I could be transferred to your side, A Ruo left the palace and got married.

However, fortunately, I still stayed by your side and gained your trust. "

At this point, Huaping suddenly choked up and said, "But I didn't expect that spending time with you day by day would make it more and more difficult for me to do anything to you.

After A Ruo passed away, you, as the master, really treated us servants very well.

It was so good that I once hesitated. I thought it would be better to put all the blame on A Ruo, and I would serve you wholeheartedly from now on.

But, until that day, I saw a little eunuch stealthily stopping Liuying. But Liuying didn't even bother to pay attention to him.

I thought the little eunuch liked fireflies, and when he found me, I was ready to make a joke.

But I didn't expect that the young eunuch was actually from Changchun Palace. He gave me a few banknotes and asked me to find a way to get the job of going to the laundry bureau to get the court robes.

At that time, I won't have to worry about anything. You just need to guard the court robes and not let others get close to them or check them carefully, so that you can wear them smoothly to participate in the silkworm ceremony.

Then I will just have to wait quietly for you to make a fool of yourself at the Silkworm Ceremony."

Huaping laughed at herself, "This is the best revenge opportunity I've ever had after all these years of hiding in Yikun Palace. I'm tempted.

I thought there was some secret about the clothes, so I looked through them carefully after taking them.

In the end, I couldn't see anything except the note with the word "canghuang" written on it inside the lining of the clothes.

So, I took the note, kept my court dress strictly, and did not let Aunt Rong Pei and other palace maids check it.

Until that day, I saw you wearing court robes with my own eyes."

After saying this, Huaping seemed to have lost all his strength.

She was hunched over, with her head down like an old woman, and huddled in place.

"My Lord, what I said is true. The note and banknote are under my pillow.

I have let my master down in this matter. I will do whatever you want to punish me for.”

Ruyi listened to Huaping's narration quietly. In fact, Ruyi could understand the changes in her thoughts.

Evil thoughts hidden deep in the heart will only take root and will not disappear.

Once someone pours a bucket of water on it, it will sprout and grow quickly and will be difficult to suppress.
