Chapter Ninety-Three: Self-Help
The Yuan clan was not in a hurry to torture this time, probably because he remembered that Yin Nuan was still kneeling, which was quite pleasant. sat down on the rope bed carried by the maidservant outside the prison door, took out a towel and gently covered his mouth and nose, and then slowly spoke:
"It seems that you are in good spirits, why, do you think that your Gorou-kun will come to the rescue?"
The water slave lay motionless on the straw, although her eyes were open, she looked into a void without focus, and after half a sound, she replied in a low voice: "I don't know what Liu Niang means by this?
"You're self-aware. Yuan sneered, "But I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you this time, your good master is still kneeling in the courtyard of Lord Lang at this time, and wants to intercede for you." Tut-tut, it's really pitiful to be punished for kneeling on this rainy day. ”
"How could it be?" In such weather, how can you kneel in the drizzle? The water slave wanted to get up in a hurry, but he pulled the wounds on his body and lay back down suddenly.
"Look at this anxious, it's really a good show of deep love between master and servant. Yuan said, "If you really feel sorry for your little master, tell me the hiding place of the towel handkerchief, and then give you a good time, Yin Nuan will die, right?"
The water slave only lay motionless on the ground, half a sound, and Yuan said impatiently: "It seems that you continue to have a hard mouth." "Drag the person out, just before the burning has begun." ”
The two slaves answered, and were about to act, when the water slave suddenly moved, and then shook his head invisibly at the window of the private prison, turned to the Yuan clan and whispered: "The torture maid of the cannon is really afraid, please Liu Niang you give the maid a good time!"
I have never seen anyone who can say the fear in his heart so lightly, Yuan Shi was stunned for a moment, and sneered: "What, are you willing to say it?"
The water slave shook his head, "The maid really hasn't stolen anything from Liuniang. ”
Picking up and stealing are not the same thing.
The Yuan clan was furious and was about to speak, only to hear the water slave say again: "But the maid knows a secret of Aunt Xie, I don't know if I can exchange this for this?"
Yuan's heart moved. I almost reflexively wanted to ask what it was, but I finally held back and said, "What does Xie's secret have to do with me, why do I want to exchange it with you?"
The water slave fell silent again. It wasn't until Yuanshi was about to hold back her mouth that she sighed in a low voice: "It's okay, Gorou-kun has a life-saving grace for his servant, and he shouldn't have betrayed it, so he would die on the cannon brand." At least I can have peace of mind. ”
Yuan Shi hurriedly said: "I will investigate the matter of the towel to the end, but you first tell me what the secret is you know, and I will weigh it to see if I can spare you from the punishment of cannon branding." ”
"The servant can't say. ”
“…… How dare you play with me?"
"It's not. The water slave said, "This matter is very important, and the maid can only say it in front of the head of the family." ”
Yuan Shi sneered: "With your status as a cheap maid, you dare to want to see Lord Lang's face? ”
Shui Nu said: "It's about Aunt Xie's reputation, if it weren't for the maid saying it in front of Lord Lang, no matter what Liu Niang said to Lord Lang after that, it would just be a frame." ”
Although Yuanshi did not like her statement. But it's really a little moved, this Yin family, the woman in the backyard is extremely important is Qingyu, if what she said is true, the Xie family will be completely ruined this time.
"Then how about you sue me first, and then I'll let you go to Lord Lang and say it in person?"
"No, it doesn't. The water slave shook his head, "Presumably Liuniang also knows that except for Lord Lang, even the master mother does not dare to take a shot at Aunt Xie lightly." Besides, the partition wall has ears, and if the maid is heard by the eldest mother before the lord knows about it. I'm afraid that the end of the servant will not be much better than now. ”
She said that the wall has ears, and Yuan subconsciously looked at the small window of the private prison, I don't know if it is an illusion, I always feel as if there is really a figure shaking somewhere.
"Go check it out. There's someone there. ”
"Yes. A slave was ordered to go out, and came back with a half-ring report, "Back to Liuniang, because of the rain, there are indeed obvious footprints under the window. ”
The water slave smiled bitterly when he heard this, and he didn't know how A-Yuan would blame himself.
So Yuan had to believe what she said. Indeed, the matter is very important, and I don't know if the person who eavesdropped on it is from Xie's side, if she knows in advance and has a corresponding strategy, she will lose more than she gains.
"But how do I know if what you said is true or false, who knows what tricks you will play in front of Lord Lang?"
"Liuniang is too worried. The water slave sighed lightly and said, "The maid can't even move now, what can he do? What's more, the maid is also conditional." ”
Hearing her say that there were conditions, the Yuan clan was a little relieved, if he really betrayed his master just because he was afraid of the punishment of cannon branding, although he felt that it was excusable, it was too rash in the end.
"On what terms?"
The water slave said: "The maid has not stolen anything from Liuniang, begging Liuniang to prove the innocence of the maid before the maid speaks, and also, after that, give the maid a good time." ”
Yuan Shi was a little amused, and said sarcastically: "You have done something to betray your master, and you still care about this reputation? Besides, since you are innocent, how can you still want to die?"
"The betrayal of the master is a last resort, and he should pay for his sin with death. The water slave said, "But it wasn't the maid who did it in the first place, and the maid didn't want to be wronged." ”
She was so calm, but it made Yuan dispel the doubts in his heart. If it was before, maybe she could have thought about it again, but today she just received a breath from Yin Song because of the Xie family, and at this time, as long as she remembered that she could completely defeat the Xie family, she would be a little ignorant. Besides, the water slave, who even betrayed his master, has not yet said where his towel is after such a heavy punishment, I am afraid that he really does not know.
But even if she knew, with her as a lowly maidservant, she could still see the mystery in the bead?
"I will take you to Lord Lang. Yuan said, "But if you just talk a bunch of nonsense after you go, be careful that I make your life worse than death." ”
"Liuniang rest assured, the maid knows. ”
The light rain gradually became a line, and Yin Nuan's whole body was already soaked, and the pain in her knees was more uncomfortable than the cold on her body. He tried to straighten up, trying to be as conscious as possible.
He suddenly remembered that the water slave had also been punished by Yin Luo for kneeling for a day and a night, and later he was so unconscious that he was almost dragged out and sold. Now that she has only been kneeling for an hour, she is almost unable to support it, and the water slave is so weak, how did she spend it at that time?
Originally, he took her to his side in the hope of protecting her from being harmed, but now? Yin Nuan kept blaming herself in her heart, not only did she suffer torture, but she couldn't help anything.
The more I thought about it, the more heartache I felt, and even the pain in my knees was ignored.
Yin Song's door was suddenly opened, and an old slave walked out, and then an oil-paper umbrella was placed on Yin Nuan's head.
Yin Nuan thanked him: "Thank you Xu Weng, don't worry." ”
"Gorou-kun. The visitor sighed and said, "Lord Lang, please come in." (To be continued.) )
