  Chapter 12: The Cost of the Chapter (12 points)

  Ba Bao carried a basin of water in and placed it on the red lacquer wooden rack by the washbasin, smiling and asking: "Miss?"

  Chu Kei got up and walked over to wash his hands, deliberately saying a sentence: "Soap."

  Ba Bao only then understood what the girl meant, and was so scared that he didn't dare look at Sun Cheng Jia's face. He lowered his head, took over the soap box, and handed it to Chu Ke Qi with both hands.

  Chu Xue washed her hands and turned around to see that Sun Cheng's family was still sitting on the edge of the bed, staring straight at her. She called out again: "Ba Bao?"

  "... is ... in." Ba Bao's voice was trembling slightly, showing how scared he was.

  "Get me new bed sheets and bedding, now change all the ones on the bed"

  “……”

  Babao was so scared that he didn't dare to make a sound, Chu Ke shouted loudly: "Go quickly!" Babao trembled and didn't know whether to go or not, walked to the door with a quivering heart, and went out to find Lianzi.

  Chu Ke walked closer, her face darkening as she stared at Sun Cheng's house. She suddenly stretched out her hand and kicked the footboard: "I'm asking, is this your bed or my bed? You're not even willing to get up? Or should I go back and report to Old Lady, and let you have this house?"

  Sun Cheng's family stood up, squeezing out two words from between her teeth: "No need". She stood on tiptoes, looking down at Chu Kei with a cold gaze and said: "Miss is being improper again, speaking lightly and acting lightly. Please go to the original wife's room to kneel and apologize."

  The natal family's private quarters? Still using the deceased Chu Yun to suppress others? Chu Keqian sneered, good, forcing her to take action today. She quickly swept a glance around the room, except for the two of them, there was no one else.

  Sun Cheng's family stared at her without showing any weakness, not waiting for San Niang to speak, and continued in a cold voice: "San Niang shouldn't think that just because the lady is gone, no one will take care of it. This family still has rules, don't look down on the old woman."

  Chu Ke'er sneered coldly and said in a low voice, "Something that doesn't know life or death..." She glared at Sun Cheng's stiff neck and shouted, "What can I do if I don't go?" Putting on an air of being so angry she was at her wit's end, with nothing else to say.

  Sun Cheng's voice was even more severe, his expression even more disdainful: "Really, not a single rule is left" As he spoke, he reached out to grab Chu Kui's arm: "I'll personally invite..."

  Chu Ke's arms were clasped together, and she gathered her strength, waiting for the moment when her arm was about to touch hers. As soon as it did, she swiftly turned her hand over and grabbed onto the other girl's wrist with a small but firm grasp, giving it a fierce twist.

  A loud "crack" sounded, and Sun Cheng's family let out a miserable wail, the pain almost causing him to faint, his legs going limp as he fell to the ground, rolling around in agony.

  Chu Ke looked at her coldly and turned to walk towards the edge of the bed, accidentally stepping on her wrist that she was holding.

  Sun Cheng's family let out an even louder wail, the sound of their cries was like a pack of wolves howling in unison. The footsteps outside the door were noisy and chaotic, Chu Ke slowly walked over and sat down at the edge of the kang.

  "What's wrong? Young lady!" Lotus and the eight treasures, white fruit, and several other maids from the courtyard rushed in with pale faces. Seeing Sun Cheng lying on the ground, they were shocked and screamed continuously. Lotus rushed over and knelt down beside Sun Cheng, tears streaming down her face: "Mom, mom, what's wrong?"

  Several other maids also rushed up, crying and wailing, while only Bai Guo stood there in a daze, shaking her body. A younger maid named Qing Guo approached Chu Ke Hui's side and asked softly, "Miss, are you alright?"

  Chu Xue's eyes fluttered open in the midst of Sun Cheng's earth-shattering roar, and she shook her head: "It's nothing." She stood up and walked out.

  The house was in a mess, everyone was shouting and screaming. Chu Kei stepped out of the house and saw that several maids had already rushed into the courtyard. There were people from all sides, including those from Old Madam's side, New Madam's side, the deceased madam's side, and even Chu Nancai's side...

  She gave a cold laugh and stood under the eaves, seeing someone approaching, her face changed to an expression of both fear and timidity.

  Qing Guo followed out and stood beside her. The maid who rushed in at the gate had already entered the house. A sturdy woman with a hasty pace walked in, it was Men Shi.

  Upon hearing the mournful cry from inside the house, her face changed drastically. However, she didn't rush into the house like others would; instead, she walked over to Chu Keqi and bowed: "Miss, are you alright?" She discreetly took in the young lady's appearance. The Third Miss was wearing a pale blue silk short shirt and matching pale blue silk skirt, clearly sleepwear, without even an outer garment on top. Her feet were clad in soft-soled embroidered shoes, suitable only for walking on beds or footstools. In the spring breeze of April, her long hair fluttered gently, exuding a delicate charm, like a willow tree swaying in the wind.

  Chu Ke shook her head: "Nothing." Her face looked terrible, with a look of wanting to speak but stopping herself, and her eyes were red, as if she was angry but didn't dare say anything.

  "What's going on inside?" asked Mr. Men as he stuck his head in and took a look around the room.

  "Mom Sun fell down and shouted loudly. I had a headache from listening to her, so I came out." Chu Kui said with a worried expression and a bitter face, having no other choice.

  Men's family heard a frown, turned and entered the house, Chu Ke heard her sternly scolding voice: "How are you serving the young lady? The attendant fell down, didn't hurry to support and find a doctor, crying loudly here, what does it look like? Still let the young lady stand outside?"

  "Aunt... Aunt..." Lotus cried breathlessly.

  "Who is this servant serving by immediately helping her out?"

  After a while, several people supported the constantly screaming Sun Chengjia out, and Men Shi followed behind, smiling at Chu Keqi and saying: "Miss, please go in."

  "Is it messy inside? Don't jump to conclusions." Chu Ke asked softly with a slight tilt of her head.

  "What?" Meng's expression didn't change for a moment, and she smiled after being stunned: "Oh, call the maid to clean up." She turned around, then found that all the maids beside the girl had gone to take care of the injured old woman, leaving only a young maid of about 10 years old standing beside her.

  Men's face sank, but everyone had left. She couldn't find anyone to vent her anger on, so she could only sink her face and say to Qing Guo: "Go in and tidy up the house."

  Chu Ke immediately continued to say to Qing Guo: "Clean up a bit, just now Sun's mother sat on the edge of my bed, but I saw that she didn't seem to have taken off her shoes, and her clothes weren't very clean either. I asked Ba Bao to change the sheets for me, but she didn't have time to do it yet. Change them now, wipe the footstool clean, and light some incense in the room. Sun's mother had been drinking, and that smell was really unbearable for me."

  Qing Guo Bai's face turned white as she nodded slightly, not daring to look at the two of them even once. She quickly lowered her head and rushed into the house to clean up.

  Chu Xue's words made the door lady's face thoroughly dark, and after a pause, she forced a smile and said: "Miss, why don't you go to the side room for a while?"

  Chu Ke shook her head and said, "I'm not going. Just now, Sun's mother wanted me to go to the main wife's room to kneel, and now I'm afraid of the room..." She gently patted her chest.

  "Original wife, madam?" This fresh title made Meng's eyes widen in surprise.

  Chu Ke turned her head and looked at her with a kind explanation: "Yes, Madam Sun said it was the deceased lady."

  "... passed away... first wife..." Madam Meng hesitated for a moment, then stuttered out: "Miss... why did that old lady Sun make you kneel..."

  "Don't say I'm being unreasonable," Chu Ke'er waved her hand, "I want to lie down and take a nap for a while." She pointed at her own uncombed long hair.

  "Just because... Miss wants to take a nap?" Mr. Men looked at Chu Ke Hui, although his face was full of surprise, but the fleeting pride in his eyes still made Chu Ke Hui see it, she knew, Mr. Men also had the same idea

  Chu Ke nodded: "That's right, it's because of this." She looked at the door and smiled: "Mom, you're excited, I think the old lady already knows? If she knows, don't say so much, it's all small things. The old lady is angry today, if it doesn't calm down, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it... or maybe mom sees the situation, if she feels like saying something, say it, if not, then don't."

  Men nodded: "Got it, miss. I'll take a look at the situation. Miss... you can go in after you've gathered your things. Although the weather is warm now, but you're wearing thin clothes, don't catch a cold."

  Chu Ke smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Mom."

  Men turned around and walked out in big strides. From the back view, he seemed quite angry.

  Chu Ke smoothed out her hair in front of her forehead and smiled with pursed lips.

  Qing Guo's hands and feet were quick, and soon he came out with a thud, saying: "Miss, it's all packed up."

  Chu Ke nodded and turned around to enter the house, seeing that it had indeed been cleaned up. The sheets and bedding had all been changed, and the floor was spotless, having been wiped clean with a rag.

  She sat on the edge of the bed, smiling and looking at Qing Guo, asking: "Just now, why didn't you pounce over, but followed me instead? Sun Mama usually treats us well, isn't this a case of biting the hand that feeds you?"

  Qing Guo never thought that, he was trying to show his loyalty to the young lady, but this young lady suddenly turned around and scolded him, frightening him so much that he quickly knelt down and stuttered: "Slave... slave did not repay kindness with ingratitude... Slave is serving the young lady, of course should follow the young lady, take care of the young lady." Suddenly enlightened, the words that followed were very smooth and reasonable.

  Chu Ke smiled and said, "The principle is simple, but many people don't understand it. It's rare to see someone as young as you who understands things." She laughed and said, "Alright, since you're so sensible, there's no need to waste your talent. From now on, just come in and serve me."

  Qing Guo's whole body trembled with excitement, his eyes shining brightly as he kowtowed: "Thank you... thank you, miss"

  "Go out, I really want to sleep for a while."

  The green fruit hastily got up, but hesitated for a moment: "Miss, does the slave girl help Miss lie down?"

  "No need," Chu Xue said with a shake of her head: "Go out and stand at the door, don't disturb me unless it's necessary."

  Qing Guo hastily agreed and backed out. (If you like this work, welcome to subscribe, reward on the starting point mobile network (), your support is my greatest motivation.)
