Chapter 181: The Cannon Fodder Sister Who Was Married Instead in Ancient Chinese Literature 61
After the maid left, Yunxi began to walk around the room and saw the still burning incense at a glance.
She ran straight over, hesitated for a moment before moving closer and sniffing.
As the fragrance entered her nostrils bit by bit, Yunxi's face became paler and paler. She put out the incense in horror, with only fear left on her face.
She knows!
Thinking of the many times she and Banxia had fought and gotten mad in these days, a chill slowly spread down her spine.
When did she know?
She had been hiding all this time!
After a while, the maid outside opened the door and came in to change the incense, and saw that the incense had been extinguished at a glance.
She turned her head to look at the two of them, then lit another one and plugged it in.
"Madam, the second young lady said that there is too much dust in this room, and the incense cannot be stopped. If it is stopped, her kindness will be wasted. If she insists on doing so, there will be no cakes."
After leaving a threatening remark, the maid turned and left.
Seeing this, Banxia hurried to the incense burner and looked at Yunxi with a vigilant look. She had just seen Yunxi put out the incense with her own eyes. She had been hungry for a day and it was unbearable. She didn't want to experience that feeling again.
Yunxi remained silent and did not move. After hearing what the maid said, she knew that the incense must be lit. She could not bear hunger even more than Banxia.
Although Yunxi knew Jiang Yueshu's sinister intentions, he had to endure it all, and the two of them continued to wrestle and fight for food.
On this day, Yunxi sat at the table on time waiting for the maid to come.
As soon as the door opened, the person who came in was Jiang Yueshu, who had not been seen for a long time. She had lost some weight, and her every frown and smile was full of charm. She already had the charm that Jiang's mother had when she was young.
She still walked over with a smile on her face, her figure slender and graceful.
She looked at the cloth on Yunxi's head with surprise and exclaimed.
"What? What happened to Aunt? Is she injured?"
Yunxi felt angry when she saw Jiang Yueshu pretending to be angry, but she was afraid that hitting her would make Jiang's father treat her more harshly, so she forced herself not to say anything.
Jiang Yueshu didn't care, but looked at Banxia who was standing in the corner with an angry face.
"You didn't take good care of your aunt?"
Banxia was stared at by Jiang Yueshu's cold eyes. She was so scared that she knelt down quickly.
"Second Miss, I don't have any. These are... Madam accidentally bumped into them."
"Why should I care about you? As my aunt's personal maid, if you can't take care of my aunt, then why are you still staying here?" Jiang Yueshu scolded angrily.
"Take her down."
Jiang Yueshu waved her hand, and two maids clamped Banxia on the left and right. Banxia kept shouting for mercy, but no one paid any attention to her.
Yunxi was also shocked by this scene and didn't understand what Jiang Yueshu was doing.
If she wanted to take revenge on her, wouldn't it be better to keep Banxia and torture her?
After dealing with the pinellia, Jiang Yueshu walked over with a smile and sat on the stool that Lu Ping had already wiped clean.
Just like the last time she came, she brought out the pastries one by one and invited Yunxi with a smile.
"Aunt, come here and try these snacks."
Yunxi sat down silently and picked up the pastry. Just like last time, he lowered his eyes, avoided everyone's sight, and ate without saying a word.
Unlike last time, she did not shed tears this time, but deep in her eyes there was endless hatred.
Jiang Yueshu also took out a teacup and poured her a cup of tea, then spoke intimately.
"Look, auntie, Shushu finally remembered to bring tea for you this time."
Yunxi choked for a moment, then slowly started eating again.
Jiang Yueshu continued to speak as if nothing had happened, "Aunt, this servant beside you is disobedient and dares to treat you so harshly. I will never let her go. But I am alone here, Shushu is still worried, why not leave a maid here!"
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Qiuju. Qiuju was stunned for a moment before she realized that the lady was talking about her.
She stepped forward hesitantly and bowed.
Yunxi was also stunned when he saw Qiuju standing up, and he became more and more confused about Jiang Yueshu's thoughts.
Since Jiang Yueshu already knows about aromatherapy, does she know that Qiuju is hers?
Jiang Yueshu didn't care whether Yunxi agreed or not. She just left Qiuju behind and left leisurely.
Only after the door was locked again did Yunxi slow down her movements. She raised her head and looked at Qiuju.
"What does it mean that Jiang Yueshu kept you here? Are you exposed?"
Qiuju shook her head in confusion.
"I don't know. The young lady never mentioned it. Before I came here, the young lady didn't ask me to stay."
Yunxi asked some more questions, and it sounded like Jiang Yueshu didn't doubt Qiuju.
After Banxia was taken away, Yunxi no longer needed to compete with others for food.
Qiu Ju has been feeling uneasy since Jiang Yueshu kept her here. She doesn't know how long Yun Xi will be locked up and how long she will have to stay.
She respectfully dressed Yunxi, but was stunned when she saw the only one meal of extremely poor quality delivered in the evening.
Yunxi didn't care about her. When he saw the food was delivered, he immediately started eating it by himself.
Qiuju watched her finish her meal without leaving a single drop.
She knocked on the door and asked the maid outside.
"No more. We cannot control how much is delivered for each meal." The maid said impatiently.
Qiu Ju had no choice but to huddle in a corner with an empty stomach and spend a cold and hungry night.
When breakfast was served the next day, Qiuju looked at Yunxi who had monopolized the meal and couldn't help but speak with dry lips.
"Madam, I have not finished my rice for two meals in a row. Can you give me some as a reward?"
Yunxi glanced at her warily, then put all the food away protectively.
"No, your lady asked you to serve me, not to steal food from me."
Qiuju didn't dare to disobey, so she could only endure the hunger and stare at Yunxi while he ate.
Seeing that the food was getting less and less, Qiuju became more and more greedy. A string in her brain suddenly broke. She used all her strength to quickly grab a handful of food and stuffed it into her mouth.
Yunxi stood up immediately and prepared to give Qiuju a good beating.
Although Qiuju did not fight back, but just protected her head with her arms and kept chewing food in her mouth, Yunxi was much fatter than before after all. He was exhausted after just a few hits and was gasping for breath.
While Qiuju was enduring Yunxi's punches and kicks, she would find the right opportunity to stuff a handful of food into her mouth from time to time.
Seeing that he couldn't get Qiuju down and that she was taking less and less food, Yunxi simply ignored her and quickly took the plate to eat.
Qiuju took this opportunity to pick up the remaining bowl of cold rice porridge and poured it into her mouth while distancing herself from Yunxi.
