Baoqin shook her head and said, "Since she is determined to harm me, even if she didn't do it on the jasmine dew, she would have done it on other places. What does it have to do with Sister?"
Baochai saw that Baoqin really didn't blame her, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's really hateful!
She probably did it for that Consort Xiande in their family, so she did it to Sister, right?
She's really short-sighted and unreasonable!
Is it possible that without Sister, their Consort Niangniang will be favored?
Her aptitude is mediocre, so even if she's the only one left in the palace, it's useless … "
Xiao Luo worriedly looked at the scary red bumps on her beautiful face and said, "The most important thing now is to think of a way to cure Miss's face …"
Baoqin thought for a while and said, "Since I know the reason, as long as I don't continue to take the jasmine dew, my face will gradually get better."
Baochai nodded and said, "In order to prevent her from doing it on other places, we know the strange matter, so it's better not to make a fuss."
Xiao Luo was anxious, "Are we going to let her go like this?
Let's go tell Old Madam and let her punish that evil woman! "
Baoqin stretched out her slender fingers and gently poked Xiao Luo's forehead, saying, "You, ah, are really naive.
What's the use of telling Old Madam?
It's just a few words of reprimand and confinement. Can it hurt the Wang Clan?
My life isn't in danger, and for the sake of Consort Jia and Jia Baoyu in the palace, Consort Jia won't let anything happen to the Wang Clan. "
Xiao Luo touched his forehead, still looking indignant, "Are we going to let her go like this?
That's too easy for her … "
"Of course, I won't let her go so easily. I want her to suffer a great loss …" Baoqin looked at Baochai who was standing aside and asked tentatively, "Sister, what do you think?"
At this time, Baochai had not completely given up the idea of marrying into the Rongguo Mansion. If it was successful, Lady Wang would be her mother-in-law … Baochai's eyes were in a trance for a moment, and then they became firm. "Sister, I can't write two Xue characters with one stroke. After all, my surname is Xue."
Hearing that, Baoqin showed a satisfied smile, "You remember me in your heart. I will never forget you in the future."
Baochai was waiting for this sentence. He laughed and said, "Although I have the ambition to reach the top, I don't have to rely on the Jia family to achieve it.
Little sister, don't worry. I know what's important and what's not. "
After a pause, she said, "My mother is soft-hearted and feels that she has a deep sisterly relationship with Second Madam. We don't need to tell her about this, so as to avoid complications.
Besides, my brother is stupid, and Brother Yu is kind. I think it's better to hide this from them.
Sister Chin, what do you think? "
Baoqin nodded and said, "That's exactly what I want."
Serving Lady Wang was actually not an easy task.
On the surface, she looked kind, vegetarian, and prayed to Buddha, but in fact, she was full of evil thoughts. She especially hated girls with good looks.
Therefore, since her sister jumped into the well and died, Yu Jin 'er served Lady Wang at all times. She was always vigilant, afraid that she would follow in her sister's footsteps.
As for Jia Baoyu, she was even colder and didn't dare to show any kindness.
She was afraid of being an eyesore to Lady Wang, and also out of her heart, she didn't want to get involved with the enemy who killed her sister.
As such, even though she received double the monthly allowance, she was actually very tired and not happy at all.
One afternoon, after handing over the work to Cai Xia, she walked out of Lady Wang's main room with flagging interest and went to the Grand View Garden to relax.
She walked to the Willow Leaf Zhu Zhu and looked at the countless green willow branches swaying in the wind. She suddenly remembered that this was her sister Yu Jin 'er's favorite place. She couldn't help but stop and stare blankly.
While she was reminiscing about the days when she used to be with her sister, someone suddenly patted her on the back. A girl's delicate voice came from behind, "Yu Jin 'er, what are you doing here?"
Yu Jin 'er turned her head and saw Xue Baoqin's maidservant, Xiao Luo, with a carefree smile on her face. She could only force a smile and said, "Why are you here?
You only have Da Ya by your side. How can you leave? "
Xiao Luo said, "Our girl doesn't like to be followed all the time. Therefore, although I'm the only Da Ya, I'm not tired. I'm very relaxed."
Hearing this, Yu Jin 'er sighed in her heart and couldn't help but say, "Your girl is really good. As a maidservant, I'm most afraid of following the wrong master. Otherwise …" Her sister, for example, didn't she lose her life because she followed the wrong master?
She was a girl at the age of a flower, but she died in the cold well.
When she was found, her whole body was swollen. How could she still look like when she was alive?
Thinking of this, Yu Jin 'er couldn't help but feel a burst of hatred in the depths of her heart.
Looking at Yu Jin 'er's face, Xiao Luo secretly guessed that the girl's plan shouldn't be difficult.
She stretched out her hand and pulled Yu Jin 'er's sleeve, saying, "Our girl is weaving a flower basket in the willow forest ahead. Let's go find her and talk to her, okay?"
Baoqin had always been kind to her servants, so Yu Jin 'er didn't dislike her. Therefore, she followed Xiao Luo into the forest.
Not long after, she saw an elegant girl sitting on a bluestone, leisurely weaving a small basket with willow twigs.
It seemed that she had been sitting there for a while.
She was wearing a yellow dress made of lotus silk and a green silk phoenix tail skirt. Her hair was black and her skin was white as snow. It was as if she had jumped out from the greenery and made people forget about her.
Yu Jin 'er walked closer and saw Baoqin's face clearly. She couldn't help but be surprised.
She saw that the girl's originally beautiful face had some red pimples, which were very eye-catching. She couldn't help but ask, "What happened to Miss Baoqin's face?"
Baoqin smiled indifferently, saying, "It's much better now. A few days ago, it was scary. It was as if her face was disfigured."
Yu Jin 'er was stunned and asked, "Why is that?
It doesn't look like spring ringworm. Could it be that Miss Qin ate something wrong? "
"It's true that she ate something wrong, but it's not an accident. It's man-made."
Baoqin continued weaving the basket and said to Yu Jin 'er with a smile, "I have a kind of jasmine dew in a crystal bottle. I got it from your wife. Have you seen it before?"
Hearing this, Yu Jin 'er was stunned. She searched her memory and then said, "I have some impression of it. Could it be that there's something wrong with the fragrance?"
Baoqin nodded and asked, "Do you remember if your second wife did anything to the jasmine dew that was sent to our Heng Wu Garden?"
If it were before her sister's death, even if Yu Jin 'er knew something, she wouldn't say it.
But now, with her resentment in her heart, she didn't want to keep Lady Wang's secret.
Therefore, she thought for a moment and said, "I seem to remember that one day, Madam was in her bedroom doing something to a table full of jasmine dew. When she saw me come in, she immediately asked me to go out. At that time, she seemed to be holding a very long needle in her hand."
Baoqin nodded and said, "That's right.
It was after I drank the jasmine dew that the pimples began to appear on my face.
Moreover, he also found a small hole on the cork of the perfume bottle that had been poked by a needle.
Now, I'm sure that it was Second Madam who did it. "
Hearing this, Yu Jin 'er was very surprised. "Miss Qin, you're Second Madam's relative. Why would she do that?"
Baoqin reminded her, "Think about your Empress. It seems that in your wife's eyes, I'm really a thorn in her side."
Baoqin's frank words made Yu Jin 'er uneasy. "Miss Qin, my indenture contract is still with Madam. Not only that, but she also has my parents' indenture contracts.
If she finds out about it, I'm afraid that our family won't have a good ending. "Yu Jin 'er wasn't a stupid person. A stupid person wouldn't have been able to get to the position of Da Ya's maid by Lady Wang's side.
Therefore, she immediately understood why Baoqin wanted to see her today.
It wasn't that she didn't want to avenge her sister, nor was it that she wanted to get double the monthly salary to continue serving her enemy.
It was because the indenture contract was in the hands of others, so she had no choice.
Baoqin put down the half-finished flower basket, took out a pouch embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in water from his sleeve, and handed it over.
Yu Jin 'er took it and opened it. Inside was a stack of banknotes with small denominations. It was worth 2,000 taels of silver.
With this money, even if their family didn't do anything for the rest of their lives, they could live in peace.
Seeing that Yu Jin 'er was obviously shaken, Baoqin struck while the iron was hot and said, "As Da Ya's maid, you must know where Lady Wang keeps the indenture contracts, right?
With enough money to settle down, I can steal your family's indenture, buy some land far away from the capital, and become a small landowner. Wouldn't that be much better than being a slave? "
Holding the thick stack of banknotes in her hand and thinking about her sister's voice and smile, Yu Jin 'er gritted her teeth and said, "I'll listen to Miss Qin's orders." After saying this, she felt as if she had just climbed a mountain. Her back was dripping with sweat.
She was nervous and uneasy, but also very happy.
Sister, watch from the sky. Yu Jin 'er will avenge you.
