Chapter 585 Something is lost at home

Bai Ruozhu was still thinking about those words on the carriage home: Not only that, I will be responsible for you for the rest of my life.

She didn't come back to her senses until Deng Deng woke up in her arms and started to hold him upright.

Rubbing her sore waist, a shy smile appeared on her face.

She took out the small mirror Jiang Yichun gave her from the space and looked at her neck. Sure enough, the three spots were as smooth as jade, just like her original skin.

She then returned home with peace of mind, but as soon as she entered the yard, she felt that something was not right about the atmosphere.

She quickly noticed that it was not Guizhi who opened the door, but Aunt Lin. Now that Guizhi has found the right excuse, she can move freely. Logically speaking, if someone calls the door, she will definitely be the first one to come.

Aunt Lin curled her lips and whispered: "Go and take a look. Your old lady is using Guizhi as a maid."

Bai Ruozhu's face dropped as soon as he heard this. Guizhi's experience made people sympathize, but she had a cheerful personality and was usually diligent. Who in the yard wouldn't like a good girl like her?

Moreover, Guizhi is already her god-sister. Why should the second young lady of the Bai family marry the old lady?

Bai Ruozhu thanked Aunt Lin and walked quickly towards the main room. I saw the old lady soaking her feet in broad daylight, and she directed Fang Guizhi: "Remember to add some hot water later, otherwise what will I do if it gets cold?"

Fang Guizhi was squeezing her shoulders and said with a worried expression, "Yes."

The old lady suddenly slapped Fang Guizhi on the arm, "What's your attitude, you cheap girl? Don't forget your identity as a servant. Your master asked you to come over and serve you, so you should do a good job for me." Otherwise, I will ask your master to beat you up and sell you to a brothel!"

Fang Guizhi's eyes were red, tears welled up in her eyes, and she said angrily: "Grandma Bai, we are also from the same village. I was sold as a maid, and we are also fellow villagers. Do you need to treat me like this?"

Old Mrs. Bai rolled her eyes proudly, "What's wrong with a village? Now that you are a slave, you still want to be related to me? Please understand that my family is not much richer than yours." As she said this, she suddenly laughed. , "Of course, if you serve me well, I will ask my son to buy you from the Xie family, and you will serve me exclusively in the future. You can also follow me back to the village, and you can see your parents more often in the future."

She said this because she wanted Fang Guizhi to beg her after hearing this, but Fang Guizhi's eyes flashed with resentment and he lowered his head and stopped talking to her.

"What are you doing standing there stupidly? Come here and pinch my feet!" the old lady shouted again.

Bai Ruozhu stood at the door and listened for a while, clenching her fists tightly.

She strode in with Dengdeng in her arms and asked, "Nai, why are you washing your feet in the daytime? How dirty are your feet?"

The old lady gritted her teeth as soon as she saw her, "You still have the nerve to come see me, aren't you going to accuse me of being insane? I can see that you are the most unfilial person in this family!"

Bai Ruozhu sneered, "Yes, I am unfilial. You'd better publicize it when you go back to the village, so that everyone knows my ugly face. It's best that I can't remarry in my life."

"You don't need to tell me, I will definitely tell you." Old Mrs. Bai rolled her eyes.

Bai Ruozhu took Guizhi's arm and said, "Let's go cook, don't waste time here."

"Stop!" the old lady screamed in a high voice. Deng Deng in Bai Ruozhu's arms was frightened and started crying loudly.

"She's here to serve me. What's wrong with me? I've been squatting in the jail all night, and now my feet hurt and I need someone to pinch my feet." The old lady glanced at the crying Deng, but her voice still didn't decrease by half. .

Fang Guizhi saw Deng Deng crying and went over to comfort her. Bai Ruozhu also felt sorry for her son and didn't want to stay here for a minute longer.

"Fang Guizhi is a maid from the Xie family, not ours. I have never heard that a maid from a wealthy family is better than a young lady from an ordinary family. Guizhi only makes snacks for Mrs. Zhi, let’s see how Mrs. Xie settles the score with you!”

As she said that, she pulled Guizhi and walked out. When she got to the door, she turned back and said, "By the way, you don't know that Mr. Xie is a popular person in front of the Lord of the City, right? Mrs. try?"

After saying that, she ignored the old lady's reaction and took Guizhi back to her house.

There were still tears on Guizhi's face. Bai Ruozhu gave her a distressed look and said, "You are stupid. Why did she call you? Can you just pretend that you can't hear her and not come closer to her?"

Fang Guizhi sniffed and muttered: "Am I not afraid that she will see the flaw, thinking that she is clamoring to return to the village anyway?"

"Then you can't wrong yourself. Even if she refuses to leave, I can't let you be bullied if I continue to fight with her." Bai Ruozhu said angrily.

Fang Guizhi wiped the corners of her eyes, took Deng Deng, who had stopped crying, held her in her arms and said, "I know, I stayed away from her, seeing that Deng Deng doesn't like her either."

Bai Ruozhu curled her lips, "No one in this yard likes her. By the way, where are my parents?"

"Dad said that he had taken a fancy to a piece of land, so he asked Uncle De Shun to come with him to take care of it. Mom went with Aunt De Shun and the others. I heard that my father invited Uncle De Shun to farm the few acres of land with him and do some winter farming. Vegetables." Fang Guizhi said.

Bai Ruozhu nodded, Zhou Deshun's family is good, but if Zhou Deshun comes to Beiyu City, Zhou Deshun's father and mother must also bring him. After all, he is the eldest son, but it would not be good if Taohua Niang and Tao Hua also come. .

Bai Ruozhu was thinking about it when his eyes suddenly saw the cabinet on the side and he couldn't help but frown.

"Guizhi, did anyone come to my house while I was away just now?" she asked hurriedly.

"I didn't pay attention. The old lady ordered me to boil water, wash her clothes, pour tea and so on. I was so busy." She said, her eyes widening, "Has someone entered your house?"

The rules in the yard are that everyone cleans their own house, even Bai Ruozhu is no exception, so almost no one will enter her house unless they are helping her bring Dedeng, but no one will go through the cabinet.

"The cabinet has been tampered with." Bai Ruozhu's face darkened. It doesn't matter that some people are annoying, and there is such a problem with three hands. It's no wonder that Sanlang is a thief.

"Ah, hurry up and see if there's anything missing!" Fang Guizhi shouted, because Bai Ruozhu was basically keeping the money of the Bai family.

Bai Ruozhu was not worried. Ever since she was stolen by Saburo once, and since she discovered that the space could be used to store items, all her valuables had been put into the space, making it easy for her to use and take at will.

But the room can't be empty, there are some things put there. She got up and opened the cabinet to check. Sure enough, a set of fine cotton shirts was missing.
