Shengjing Noble

Chapter 145 Crocodile Tears

Su Lanyin restrained her smile and said in a colder tone: "Don't you hate Wenli? Now that she is in your hands, as long as no one dies, you can make the decision on everything, isn't that good?"

Cuizhu suddenly understood what she said: "So that's it! What the girl meant is..."

"Keep an eye on her."

"Don't worry! I will keep a close eye on her!" Cuizhu clenched her fist and promised, with an excited expression on her face.

……

Backyard servant room.

Wenli was arranged to stay in the room for lower-ranking maids, which had a large bunk bed. More than a dozen maids lived in one room, making it hard to breathe.

Even for women, with so many people living in a small space, the smell was still pungent.

Wenli has followed Su Lanyin since she was a child, living a life of luxury and comfort. Although she is a second-class maid, she never does any work. She follows her master around all day to play and appreciate flowers, leading a leisurely life.

Although I went to Su Lanxin's place later, I never really did any heavy work or slept in a dormitory.

So, she had never suffered at all.

Looking at everything in front of her, Wenli was a little overwhelmed, but when she thought that after the success, she would be able to become a top-notch maid in the official family and marry Liu Cheng in glory, she gritted her teeth and endured it.

"Hey! Are you new here?"

Suddenly someone shouted rudely. Wenli turned around and saw a fat middle-aged woman who looked like the nanny in charge from the way she was dressed.

"I'm new here..."

Wenli spoke in a bad tone, but before she could finish her words she was interrupted by a sudden slap in the face.

The slap was so loud that it made her see stars and she almost fell down. It took her a while to come back to her senses.

"You dare to hit me?" Wenli covered her swollen cheek, furious.

Nanny Jiang rubbed her palms, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said disdainfully: "You are a lowly maid, and you dare to call yourself me? I will hit you if you want, what else do you dare not do? Come, drag her out!"

"Yes!"

Two tall maids came forward and held Wenli down, then dragged her into the yard regardless of her struggles.

"Let me go! Let me go! I belong to the girl, how dare you do this to me..."

"The lady's people? Haha, that's hilarious!" Nanny Jiang stood in front of her and said condescendingly, "Who here is not the lady's people? The more you are the lady's people, the more you have to abide by our rules!"

Wenli was forced to kneel down. When she tried to stand up, she was kicked down by the maid next to her.

She lay in the mud, dirty all over, looking as miserable as a beggar, but she still held her head high and refused to give in.

"I grew up with the girl. How dare you bully me like this today? When the girl remembers my kindness in the future, she will definitely not let you bitches off easily!"

She was shouting and cursing when Cuizhu walked in from the courtyard gate.

"Who's making noise again? I can hear you guys are the noisiest from a distance. Can you afford to disturb the girl?"

She shouted angrily, and Nanny Jiang, who had been domineering just now, immediately changed her face to a fawning one, nodding and bowing as she moved closer.

"Miss Cuizhu, calm down. This slave girl is really arrogant. I am just punishing her according to the rules."

Hearing this, Cuizhu glanced at Wenli, snorted coldly, and took two steps forward.

"Why are you so arrogant?"

Madam Jiang replied: "How dare she, a lowly maid, call herself me? She kept saying that she grew up with the young lady, and even threatened that she would never let us go if the young lady remembered her kindness!"

Hearing this, Cuizhu couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Thinking of her good points? Hahahaha..."

Wenli sat on the ground and glared at her, her eyes red as she asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"What am I laughing at? What do you think I'm laughing at? Of course I'm laughing at you for overestimating your own abilities!" Cuizhu bent down and pinched her chin.

"Wenli, Wenli, tell me, what is there about you that is worthy of a girl's praise?"

"I……"

Wenli was speechless for a moment. After thinking for a while, she said haltingly, "I have had a relationship with the girl for many years. It is up to the girl to decide whether it is good or not."

"I don't know what the girl is thinking, I only know that you are selling out your master for fame! From childhood to adulthood, the girl has treated you like a sister, providing you with good food and clothes, but what about you? For the sake of a title, you openly betrayed the girl and joined Su Lanxin's camp!"

"Based on what you have done, you don't deserve to be remembered by the girl! Besides, have you ever cared about the girl in these years?"

Wenli was so angry that she threw her hand away and shouted angrily: "Shut up! Everyone has the right to say that to me, but you don't!"

"From childhood to adulthood, the young lady has always been partial to you. We were bought into the Su family together to follow the young lady, but why are you a first-class maid and I am only worthy of being a second-class maid?"

"For so many years, you have treated me very well! You have picked out the leftovers for me. You say you treat me like a sister, but you are just treating me like a dog!"

"As a second-class maid, I will never get ahead in my life. But if I become a first-class maid, I will be able to marry better in the future, and even have the chance to become a concubine to the young masters!"

"I just want to find a way out for myself. What have I done wrong? Besides, this is not called betrayal. This is called choosing a good tree to roost in! You are a fool, so of course you don't understand my realm!"

Cuizhu was shocked by her shamelessness, and she also realized that she was hopeless.

"In that case, why did you come back?"

Wenli knew that they would never believe her if she expressed her loyalty.

So she sighed, put on a pitiful attitude, started to show weakness and play the emotional card, with crocodile tears falling from her eyes.

"Because I chose the wrong path, I ended up like this. I really had no choice but to shamelessly come back to find the girl."

"Do you think I want to come back? I even thought about killing myself, but when I was desperate, I remembered the time I spent with you as a child."

"So I thought that if I came back, the girl would definitely not stand by and watch me die. After all this, I completely understood that the girl is the only one in the world who treats me the best."

Cuizhu looked at her like this, a gleam in her eyes, and thought to herself: The girl is really good at predicting things, she even knows all the tricks of this girl!

If the girl hadn't warned her in advance, she might have been deceived by this bitch.

"You betrayed the girl, but she took you in when you were in trouble. How do you plan to repay this kindness?"

Wenli wiped her tears and said firmly: "Cuizhu, don't worry, I will definitely change my bad ways from now on!"

"Then you must work hard and show the girl your determination. If you slack off and do things perfunctorily, I will be the first to kick you out!"

"I understand! I will cherish the opportunity. The girl arranged me here just to test my determination to repent! I will work hard!"

Wenli said this and stood up, looking full of confidence.
