Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space

Gu Yunxi didn't feel pity for a servant like Xiao'e at all.

Obviously, Xiao'e could have come to me and talked to me before filling water for her parents. I might have agreed in private and found a container for her to fill water so that she could give it to her parents secretly.

Xiao'e has been in the mansion for so long, Gu Yunxi didn't believe that she didn't have this common sense, but Xiao'e just didn't do it.

Xiao'e knew the rules of the mansion very well, but she still broke them. She even tried to hide the truth when he questioned her.

Gu Yunxi's heart sank. She thought that after coming to the capital, she had been very nice to the servants in the mansion. As long as they were honest and did their jobs, she would not say much.

Even every quarter, she would repeat what Mo San and Xiao Cui did and give rewards to the servants.

There's no other master like her in the whole capital, right?

It seems that it was her good temper that spoiled Xiao'e.

"Xiao'e, you keep saying that you are filial, that you can't bear to see your parents come to ask for help, and that you can't bear to see your brothers and sisters die of thirst. But have you ever thought that you have sold yourself to our family?"

"You are a slave in our family, a servant. How can you be considered as a family member of our family?"

Xiao E was panicked when she heard this, and she kowtowed and begged, "Yes, I know, my parents have sold me, but Madam, it was really not easy for my parents to give birth to me."

"Madam, I know I did something wrong. I accept the punishment. Please forgive me this time. I will never do it again."

Seeing this, Xiao Cui, who was standing nearby, moved her lips, as if she felt a little sorry for Xiao E's pleading.

However, when Gu Yunxi glanced at her, Xiao Cui was so scared that she didn't dare to say a word.

Gu Yunxi said coldly: "Do you know that the most serious thing you did today was not stealing the water bags used by the masters, but stealing the water from the well in the mansion?"

"I reminded you repeatedly a few days ago that no one should tell anyone that there is water in the well in our house. Now you go out of the house with a water bag full of water and give the water bag to your parents in front of everyone."

"You saw it just now, didn't you? Those people knocking at the door are all asking for drinking water. If we open the door, the well in our house will be destroyed, and everyone in the mansion will suffer, and may even starve to death or die of thirst."

"Among all these people, there is also you. Without water, you can't survive. Do you understand?"

Gu Yunxi's questioning again and again made Xiao'e tremble all over and her face turned pale with fear.

She stammered, "No, no, Madam, I was really too anxious at the time, I didn't think so much..."

It was not until this moment that Xiao E, after hearing what Gu Yunxi said, realized how much trouble she had caused.

The Lu family has always been low-key. This time, they attracted all the attention of the people. Everyone was staring at the Lu family. It would be strange if the young lady was not angry!

Xiao'e's eyes were red from crying. She raised her hand and slapped her cheek fiercely, cursing as she slapped, "It's all my fault. It's all my fault. If I hadn't been so anxious, this wouldn't have happened."

"Young Madam, I know now and I will never make the same mistake again. Please forgive me."

However, Gu Yunxi had already made a decision in his mind before he said this.

"No need, just go back to where you came from."

"Since you care about your brothers and sisters and are filial to your parents, then I, as their master, cannot just turn a blind eye."

Xiao'e's eyes were filled with shock when she heard this. He asked her to go back to where she came from. Was he trying to force her to death?

She had been sold by her parents a long time ago. She came to the Lu family from the pawnshop, not from home.

She is a slave now, Madam, are you going to sell her again?

Xiao E was so frightened that she trembled all over and kowtowed to beg for mercy: "Madam, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again!"

"Please, don't let me go back to the dental clinic. There's a water shortage everywhere. If I go back to the dental clinic, I'll die!"

All the people held in the pawnshop were slaves. If she was sent back to the pawnshop by the Lu family, she would have no way out. At this moment, Xiao E was truly regretful and afraid.

Of course, she cares more about her own life than the lives of her parents and her brothers and sisters!

Gu Yunxi looked at her with cold eyes, his tone not softening at all. What Xiao'e did today really put the entire Lu family in danger.

Didn’t you see the people asking for water at the gate of the mansion?

This is because there is still water in the public wells in the capital, and ordinary people can line up early to get some water.

If it doesn't rain in a few days, the people will know that the Lu family has water, and they will probably want to surround the Lu family and break in.

By that time, not only the servants of the Lu family, but even the masters in the mansion would be finished.

When outsiders enter the house, they are like robbers. If the water is gone, the food and other belongings will probably be stolen as well.

A thousand-mile long dam can be destroyed by an ant hole. Gu Yunxi knew this truth very well!

Gu Yunxi spoke calmly, "Xiao'e, if you don't want to go back to the pawnshop, you can go home. I won't give you your indenture contract. Go home and know what to say and what not to say. You should know your limits, right?"

Xiao'e was stunned when she heard this and didn't know how to react.

It was Xiao Cui who was standing by and reminded quietly: "Xiao E, why are you still standing there? Why don't you thank the young lady quickly!"

Of course it’s better to let Xiao’e go home than to let her go to the dental clinic!

As someone who has experienced it, Xiao Cui knows the situation and living conditions of the dental clinic very well, and so does Xiao E.

How could the poor and awful environment of the dental clinic be compared to that at home? Even if my family was poor, at least I had my parents and relatives by my side, which was better than the dental clinic workers.

You know, the brokers don't treat these slaves as human beings!

If you displease the guards in the slightest, you will be whipped and not given food.

Xiao'e had tears in her eyes. She didn't want to go to the dental clinic, nor did she want to go home. If she went home, there were so many mouths to feed and where would she get food?

But looking at the current situation, there is no other way. She has made a mistake and has already made the young lady disgusted.

Xiao E knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Gu Yunxi: "Thank you, Madam. Xiao E is willing to go home. Xiao E knows her limits and will not mention anything about the mansion after returning home."

Gu Yunxi was satisfied, and immediately asked Xiao Cui to take Xiao E out, packed up the bags and sent her away.

Xiao Cui followed her instructions and took Xiao E downstairs with her. When Xiao E came out after packing her bags, her eyes were red.

Xiao Cui stuffed a silver coin into her hand and whispered, "Xiao E, take this money. Don't give it to your parents when you get home. Keep it for yourself."

Xiao'e's eyes became even redder, and she felt very upset and regretful.

But there is no medicine for regret in the world, and it is useless for her to regret now.
