Chapter 9: Persecution

The reunion of mother and daughter made Lin Xiaoyu live a few days of peace, she moved directly to Yunxinyuan and lived with Yan Huirong, and after more than ten years of separation, the mother and daughter always had endless words, often saying some interesting things on the mountain to make Yan Huirong laugh.

Yan Huirong also understood her daughter's personality a little, and her heart was mixed. The good thing is that she didn't do anything wrong back then, even though the mother and daughter have been separated for 12 years, they have finally found a quiet and stable growth environment for their daughter. The worry is that my daughter, who grew up in such an environment, does not know that people's hearts are sinister, and has no sense of prevention and protection of herself. secretly thought in her heart, no matter what the price she took, she had to protect her daughter, even if she took her own life, she must not let that person trample on her daughter's life.

Seeing that the third day of the next lunar month was approaching day by day, Lin Xiaoyou felt comfortable in his heart. It's much better to know what other people have than to live in a conspiracy that they don't know all day long. At least for their own situation, no matter how poor a person is, he will have a mental preparation and plan.

I don't know what my senior brother is doing? If you understand her current situation, will you come and take her away? Thinking of this, my eyes caught a glimpse of the person next to me, and my heart was cramping. My mother has suffered too much, how can she run away by herself. is unwilling to accept this fate of being manipulated, so she must find an opportunity to escape from this dark home with her mother.

"Miss, what are you doing, come and try my dim sum!" Lan Yu walked in with a plate of plum blossom-shaped dim sum.

Yan Huirong next to him looked at it, with a soft smile on her face. "Lan Yu, you don't have to worry about her, she knows how to eat! You can also sit down and have a good rest after being busy for a long time!"

"I'm not tired, ma'am. ”

"Wow, it's delicious, Sister Lan's craftsmanship is so good! In the past, Senior Brother would buy me delicious food every time I went down the mountain, but now that I think about it, those are not as delicious as Sister Lan's cooking!" Lin Xiaoyou muttered a vague compliment on the side of the snack.

"Eat slowly, Miss, I like I can do it, but don't choke. Lan Yu said with joy in her heart.

Lin Xiaoyu's eating image made Yan Huirong feel helpless, and sighed: "Girls should pay attention to their manners when eating, chew slowly, and try not to speak." ”

Sven? Isn't she Sven? No one ever told her. Senior brother and master let her eat at will! Swallowing what was in her mouth, Lin Xiaoyou patted her chest and said, "How can you be so particular about eating, senior brother never talks about me!"

"Second Miss, Second Miss"

The harmonious atmosphere was interrupted by a few calls from outside, Lin Xiaoyou looked out, but saw Xiao Wu running in in a panic, and said breathlessly: "Hurry up, second miss go to the West Courtyard to rescue Sister Qianqian, she is about to be killed by Madame." ”

Lin Xiaoyou was shocked, didn't care about asking carefully, and left with Xiao Wu.

"Xiaoyu," Yan Huirong exclaimed worriedly.

"Don't worry, ma'am, I'll go over and have a look. Lan Yu comforted and followed.

Along the way, Xiao Wu briefly explained the situation, but Qianqian and Lin Qingyue's personal maid had a little verbal dispute, and they were dragged to a beating.

At this time, Lin Xiaoyou was anxious and guilty, if she hadn't seen her mother's weak body and asked Qianqian to go to the kitchen to help make some tonics, such a thing would not have happened. Although Yunxinyuan has a separate small kitchen, it is very narrow, and there are not enough medicinal materials, so it is arranged for Qianqian to go to the common large kitchen to boil.

Walking outside the west courtyard, all kinds of insults mixed with the sound of whips hitting the body came, but there was no screaming of being beaten. Lin Xiaoyou breathed tightly, and just about to go in, she felt that her hand was being pulled, and when she looked back, Xiao Wu looked at her with worry and fear on her face: "Second Miss, I"

"Go back, I'll go in myself. After saying that, he shook off Xiao Wu and strode in.

In the hall, Wu and Lin Qingyue were leisurely drinking tea and laughing, looking fine. The shocking bloodstains on the ground continued to the side inner room. It was from within that the noisy invective and whipping sounded from within.

Lin Xiaoyou was about to break in when he heard the sound, but was stopped by two maids.

The person sitting on the top looked at this qiē coldly, picked up the teacup and took a sip before slowly speaking: "Isn't this Xiaoyou." Why are you still so unruly after coming back for so long, and I'm going on a rampage as soon as I come in?"

Before Lin Xiaoyou could speak, Lin Qingyue immediately snatched the conversation away: "Mother, you don't know that Xiaoyou's sister grew up outside, of course, she can't be compared with ordinary ladies." ”

seemed to defend her, but he sarcastically mocked her with a gun and a stick. Lin Xiaoyou didn't want to argue about the speed of his tongue at this time, and he focused on Qianqian.

"What happened to Sister Qianqian?" the anxiety in his heart was completely on his face.

Wu Shi saw it in her eyes and was happy in her heart, she didn't have to take such a little girl to heart at all, she could do it lightly with a little trick.

Then he glanced at the maid next to him. The maid entered the inner room with understanding, and when she waited, she saw two old mothers dragging the half-dead Qianqian out and throwing them in front of Lin Xiaoyou.

kept scolding: "Cheap hooves, I see that you still dare to resist, I don't know what to do." ”

"Ah, sister?" Lin Xiaoyou screamed, his eyes widened in fright, and he covered his mouth with his hand. Is this still the same gentle and intelligent sister? Her hands were tied behind her back, her feet were tied to death, her mouth was gagged with a white cloth, and her body was scarred by a leather whip. His torn clothes were covered in bloody wounds, and he was curled up on the ground in his last breath.

I finally understood, no wonder I couldn't hear the screams of being beaten before. It's not forbearance, but there's no way to scream at all. What kind of pain is this? Lin Xiaoyu, who was greatly shocked in his heart, couldn't imagine it at all, and didn't dare to think about it.

"Sister" Lin Xiaoyou squatted down and choked out, and the tears that she couldn't hold back still flowed down uncontrollably. Tremblingly, she reached over and tried to help Qianqian, but the wounds all over her body made her really not know where to start.

Lin Qingyue sneered: "Sister, I've never heard you call me sister, but a subordinate girl, your sister is really affectionate." ”

"What did Sister Qianqian do wrong, and you need to beat her so badly?"

Lin Xiaoyou's heartache and anger only changed back to a look of disdain and ridicule, Wu got up and walked to the middle around Lin Xiaoyou, who was squatting beside Qianqian, and said, "Sisters have a good relationship! Now the important thing is your marriage, I have already helped you get your wedding dress ready, try it!"

After speaking, a maid came over with a tray holding a delicate and red wedding dress, Lin Xiaoyou looked at it hatefully, got up and shook his hand and knocked down the tray in the maid's hand.

"I won't agree to die!"

This sudden action frightened the maid for a moment, and then slammed her knees on the ground: "Damn it!"

Wu Shi didn't react, and he already looked confident. Lin Qingyue was in a hurry, and came over and slapped Lin Xiaoyou: "Slut, the Taishi family is powerful and powerful, and others can't marry if they want to." You are a concubine, and being able to marry into the Taishi Mansion is a blessing that you have cultivated for several lifetimes. Last time you openly seduced Prince Chen on the street, I haven't settled accounts with you yet, is it possible that you still think about him?"

This slap made her eyes bloom, and it came too fast, Lin Xiaoyu's mind was completely confused, and she only saw Lin Qingyue's mouth rolling, but she couldn't hear any sound. The instinctive reaction of raising his hand was about to hit back.

Lin Qingyue's arrogant and domineering momentum was still chattering, and she didn't expect Lin Xiaoyou to fight her back. The face was incredulous, and I didn't know where to dodge.

However, Wu was relatively close and reacted quickly, and beat her daughter in front of her, which was worth it. Seeing this scene, he stepped forward and grabbed the hand that fell in the air, and stood in front of Lin Qingyue and scolded angrily: "It's against you?"

Feeling a burst of pain in his wrist, Lin Xiaoyu struggled to break free and regained his senses.

"You, you, you" Lin Qingyue stretched out her hand and pointed at Lin Xiaoyou, who was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Wu turned around and patted Lin Qingyue gently, while appeasing her feelings, he said to Lin Xiaoyou: "It's not up to you to say yes or not, don't you want to think about yourself, don't you think about others? If you don't listen to what the master says, do you say you should be beaten? Since she refuses to send it, she has to ask you to come and get it in person. ”

"What?" These words undoubtedly gave Lin Xiaoyou a slap in the face, looking at the person curled up on the ground and dying, as if all his strength had been drained, and he took a few steps back weakly. This qiē turned out to be because of her?

"Hmph, if you want to fight with me, it's still early!Yan Huirong, it seems that your daughter is as stupid as you" Wu thought in his heart. Lin Xiaoyou's reaction was completely expected, such a person who did not have a city government did not need her to bother at all. With a little probing, the goal can almost be achieved.

"And your mother, she hasn't had a good life since she gave birth to you, do you really want to leave her alone?"

"Enough, I warn you, if you dare to hurt my mother, I will definitely pay it back a hundredfold and a thousandfold. Lin Xiaoyou, who was originally entangled and helpless, looked at Wu with sharp eyes because of these words, and said sharply.

She can ignore what others do to her. But if she dares to attack her mother, she will never forgive.

"This" Lin Xiaoyou's sharp and resolute eyes sent chills down Wu's back, and after a moment of shock, he said with a smirk: "Look at what you said, we are all a family, and it doesn't hurt anything." They are all seventeen-year-old girls, and looking at it, those thirteen or fourteen-year-olds in the family are married, and sooner or later there will be this day. We are also for your own good, your sister must let you sister!"

"Family, for her good!" After making trouble for so long, threatening to force marriage is all for her good, Lin Xiaoyou bit her lower lip and listened to this lie full of good for her.

At this moment, Qianqian, who was lying on the ground, moved and muttered, "Miss, Miss." ”

"Sister" Lin Xiaoyou leaned over and screamed in surprise, and the choked voice couldn't be spoken.

Qianqian smiled reluctantly, asked Lin Xiaoyou not to worry, and said, "Miss, don't agree, Taishi Yi's son is lazy and lazy, he will only spend all his time drinking and doing nonsense, and he is not a good person entrusted with his life." ”

After a few words, Qianqian struggled with all her strength, and there was another cough.

The two old mothers who had just dragged Qianqian out next to them stepped forward when they saw this situation, and one asked Wu for instructions: "Madam, this slut is letting us teach us a good lesson." ”

The other came over while scolding: "Stinky girl dares to spoil Madame's good deeds, see how I clean you up." As he spoke, he flew up and kicked over.

Where could Qianqian, who was originally extremely weak, still be able to withstand this kick, Lin Xiaoyou shouted: "Don't" flew on Qianqian.

"Hmm" snorted, and Lin Xiaoyou was kicked and fell to the ground a few steps away.

"Miss," Qianqian fainted with a weak cry.

Lin Xiaoyou was kicked on the left shoulder by the oncoming kick, and the pain in her heart made her face pale and cold sweat broke out. But seeing that Qianqian was fine, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood up in pain.

"It's good if my sister agrees, why bother to suffer this hardship?" Lin Qingyue looked at this scene, and her eyebrows frowned and persuaded her, she was very disgusted by Lin Xiaoyou's resistance, and she was a little unbearable.

To this day, Lin Xiaoyou still refuses to compromise, which surprises the Wu family. She didn't expect a little girl who didn't understand the world to be so stubborn. Looking at Lin Xiaoyou in front of her, she remembered her equally stubborn mother, her face changed, and she said, "Come on, pull this girl down for me and continue to beat." ”

How could she watch Sister Qianqian being killed because of her, she would never be able to do such a thing, and now she had to promise to find a way to escape. Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyou hurriedly shouted: "Wait, I promise you." ”

When the goal was achieved, the Wu mother and daughter changed their faces faster than flipping through a book, and immediately said with a smile: "That's right, Xiaoyou, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future, don't forget your aunt and your sister's kindness when the time comes." ”

"That's right, sister. ”

Lin Xiaoyou snorted coldly, she took great pains to force marriage, of course she would not forget it. I didn't want to see those two eyesore, so I turned my head and said, "Can we go?"

"Of course, this girl will spare her this time for the sake of your face, Li'er, Huanhuan, the two of you will help this girl to send the young lady back. This girl is now injured and unable to move, so bring her some of my best gold sore medicine. You two should stay there and take good care of Miss before she leaves the cabinet. Wu commanded neatly.

Looking at that fake appearance, Lin Xiaoyou didn't want to be here for a moment. went over in person and carefully picked up Qianqian and left, the place where she had just been kicked was faintly painful, and she couldn't bear not to ask the two girls arranged by the Wu family to help. Nominally taking care of her, in reality it is not spying on her.

The two girls looked at each other and smiled, and followed behind, without any intention of going up to help.

"Remember to think more about your mother, and help me say hello by the way. Lin Xiaoyou had already walked to the door, and Wu didn't forget to remind her in the back.

Waiting for them to leave, Lin Qingyue asked: "Mother, Li'er and Huanhuan are your favorite personal girls, who sent them to serve you?"

Wu smiled faintly: "It's okay, it's because they are my personal girls that I sent them, and I don't feel at ease about sending others." Although she said yes, we still have to take precautions. ”

Yun Xinyuan was here, but Lan Yu hurried back.

Before the "Madame" person arrived, the voice was called out first.

Yan Huirong had been anxiously waiting for news in the house, and when she heard Lan Yu's call, she hurriedly ran out of the door to meet her and asked about the situation.

Lan Yu gave a general account of what she was listening to in the West Courtyard, Yan Huirong was heartbroken, but she lowered her head and pondered expressionlessly: "Use me to coerce and force marriage, and simply play against Xiaoyu's kindness, chess is a good chess, but it's a pity that I won't let you succeed! I didn't fulfill my responsibility to Xiaoyu as a mother, and I owe her too much for a long time, this time"

"Madam, Lan Yu wants to ask you for guilt. With that, Lan Yu knelt down.

Yan Huirong came back to her senses and grabbed her: "Lan Yu, what are you doing?

For more than ten years, Lan Yu has always been by her side to take care of her, and she has long been like a family. There is no need to make such a big gift.

Lan Yu shook her head slightly and said, "Madam, I'm sorry for you." For so many years, you have been thinking about Miss every day in your heart, and I know if you don't say it. But now that I see Miss being bullied, I know that you will be sad, but I haven't gone out to help, Lan Yu really deserves to die. ”

Yan Huirong smiled bitterly, pulled up Lan Yu and said, "You have been with me for so many years, I don't know what you think in your heart, you did the right thing." Xiaoyu grew up in the mountains, and she didn't know how to fight in these houses, so she couldn't protect herself at all. If she wasn't allowed to see and experience this, how could she understand. So, Lan Yu, you don't have to blame yourself, you're right!"

"Madame"

"Needless to say, don't worry, I will have a countermeasure! Seventeen years ago, she couldn't get out of it, and I had no intention of pursuing it, but she hit my daughter with her idea, how could I tolerate it!"
