Chapter 36: Thunder's Fury
Lu had already heard Bai Shizu's voice, she knew that something was wrong, and she was ready to pretend to be sick and act as if she didn't know anything, so she had already laid down on the bed and pretended to be asleep.
But at this moment, when he heard Bai Shizu calling himself by name, he knew that if he didn't go out again, he was afraid that it would be difficult to recover the situation, so he hurriedly wiped a few heavy powders to make his face look pale and weak, and then walked out weakly with the support of Yingqiu.
When he saw the scene in front of him, he looked incredulous and said, "This ...... What's going on, husband, what's going on?"
Bai Shizu looked at her pale and bloodless face, and saw that she looked like she didn't know anything, and the anger just now was instantly extinguished, but he was still very angry and said: "You are a good slave, you dare to hit the master, look at what Jin'er has been injured?"
"This ...... No...... Husband, the concubine is sick, she just drank the medicine and fell asleep, and she doesn't know anything!" Lu Ningxiang suddenly opened her apricot eyes wide, and tears fell into her eyes, at this time, her best move was also Bai Shizu's most delicious move.
Then she scolded a few old mothers angrily while crying, and said, "You dog slaves, what did you do behind my back? Why do you want to beat people for no reason, and you dare to beat even the eldest lady, don't you want to live?"
When those old slaves heard this, they hurriedly kowtowed and begged: "Madame, spare your life, the slaves and maids didn't beat the eldest lady, the slaves and maids were just teaching those two girls who didn't know the rules, and it was Mama Shen who they beat first!"
When Bai Shizu heard this, he immediately frowned, and scolded: "Nonsense, I just saw with my own eyes that you were doing something to Jin'er, is this still fake?"
"Grandpa, even if the slaves and maids have the courage to do something to the eldest lady, it is the eldest lady's soft heart, she has to protect the two girls, the slaves and maids are just pulling the eldest lady away, but they don't dare to beat her!"
At this time, Mama Shen also reacted, knelt on the ground and looked up at Bai Shizu, crying: "Grandpa, look at the face of the old slave, it was all beaten by that thief!"
Bai Shizu suddenly became a little puzzled, not knowing who to believe, Bai Mujin suddenly left Bai Shizu's arms, knelt on the ground, lifted the sleeves of the handwriting, revealing red marks one by one, deep or shallow, and then frowned lightly, infinitely aggrieved: "Father, they kept saying that they didn't beat me, look at the wound on my arm, there are still some places, it can't be seen, they deliberately hit those places, so that I have a hard time! Father, am I not your daughter?" How dare they bully me like this, if I can't get justice today, how can Jin'er gain a foothold in the Ningguo Mansion in the future, it is better to die now! Otherwise, sooner or later, I will be bullied to death by the evil slave!"
After Bai Hibiscus finished speaking, he covered his face, and tears dripped down his nails into the soil, which made Bai Shizu worry again, and hurriedly wanted to help Bai Hibiscus.
Over there, Lu Ningxiang suddenly struggled over, wanting to help Bai Hibiscus, and cried while crying: "My poor child, it's all my mother's fault, why is he so sick, I don't even know that you are suffering outside, woo...... Let Mother see your injuries!"
Bai Mu Hibiscus raised his head, looked at Lu Shi with a sad face, and choked up: "Mother, I am calling you to save me outside in a heart-rending manner, just across this wall, even if you don't hear it, can the maids and women around you not hear it? Why can they sit idly by and let Jin'er be beaten, and there is no way to ask for help?"
When Bai Shizu heard this, he also glared at the Lu family angrily, revealing suspicious and angry eyes, and the Lu family was annoyed, this Bai Hibiscus is really unconscious, why do you always have to get along with yourself.
She was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to the maid who came out with her and scolded: "You guys, why didn't you wake me up earlier?
Yingqiu hurriedly knelt down and said in a panic: "Madam, the doctor has explained, you must rest well after drinking the medicine, otherwise the medicine will not be able to exert its properties, and your illness will not be good, the slave has been by your side, wiping your sweat, and several of them have gone to the back kitchen to decoct the medicine and boil water, and prepare dinner, I'm afraid I haven't heard it!"
"Even so, you should wake me up, what does it matter if my illness is not cured? Is it more important than the safety of the eldest lady? You are so disappointed in me, even if you are not very wrong, I will punish you with three months of monthly silver to make an example!" Lu said bitterly.
"The slave is willing to be punished, Mrs. Xie is magnanimous!" Several slaves knelt on the ground to thank them, but they didn't care, anyway, the monthly punishment was punished, and the lady would compensate them separately.
Bai Mujin didn't want to let Lu get through like this, she wiped her tears, and looked sad and forbearing: " Mother, Jin'er naturally can't let you drag the sick body to save me, after all, the mother's body is the most important, but I was kind enough to see my mother, but I was stopped by this slave, I refused to report it, and bullied me when I was young, arrogant in front of me, my grandmother was angry, so she slapped her for me, this was what she deserved, this slave dared to fight back in front of me, Mama Rui didn't want to make trouble with her, and avoided her several times, she fell and was injured, and she was so angry that she called a few old mothers in the mother's yard to come out and beat people together, and dared to say that she wanted to teach me a lesson, my master is here, when will it be the turn of the slave to teach me a lesson?”
"Father, mother is sick, who gave these minions the courage to disrespect the master, I just want to ask my father, is it because my father doesn't have my daughter in his eyes, so they dare to bully me like this?"
The injured eyes, the lonely and helpless look, anyone who sees it feels extremely distressed, Bai Shizu is the most pitiful and cherished jade, and immediately said: "Who said that there is no you in my father's eyes? How can you slaves bully Jin'er in private? How can our government allow the phenomenon of slaves bullying their masters, these slaves are all pulled down for me and beaten to death with sticks!"
"Grandpa, Madame's life, the slaves and maids know that they are wrong, and ask the grandfather to raise his noble hand and spare the lives of the slaves and maids!" Several old mothers kowtowed again and again, and even their heads were broken.
Lu Shi just wanted to open his mouth to plead, but he heard a colder voice behind him: "You must not be spared, there is no distinction between respect and inferiority, even the master dares to fight, what are you doing with your life?"
"Mother!"
"Grandmother!"
"Old lady!"
When everyone saw Old Madam Bai, they were all a little surprised, and hurriedly saluted.
Old Madam Bai walked up to Bai Muhibiscus, gently helped her up, helped her wipe the tears on her face, and said, "Good girl, you have been wronged, your grandmother entrusted you to visit your mother, how can you be bullied like this?"
"Grandmother...... Woo woo......" Bai Mu Hibiscus hugged the old lady sadly again, and the hearts of those who cried followed.
"Well, grandmother will definitely seek justice for you!" Old Madam Bai softened her voice rarely, and comforted Bai Hibiscus softly.
Bai Mujin rubbed her eyes with a handkerchief, her tears seemed to be too few, and she always had to rely on some external force to flow out happily.
"Jin'er, thank you, grandmother!"
Old Madam Bai looked coldly at a few old mothers who were kneeling on the ground, trembling, and said coldly: "Who gave you the courage to even bully the eldest lady?"
"Ask the old lady to spare her life, beg the old lady to spare her life, the slaves and maids will never dare anymore!" Several old mothers only kowtowed and begged for mercy, and no longer dared to argue.
Old Madam Bai ignored their pleadings at all, and shouted: "No matter who gave you the courage, today you must not indulge a few of you slaves, come on, pull me down and kill me with a cane!"
As soon as the words fell, Mama Sun instructed a few rough mothers-in-law to gag a few old mothers-in-law and pull them down, without even giving them a chance to cry.
There were already a lot of people gathered in front of Ning Xiangyuan, most of them came to see the excitement, but looking at the five or six old mothers, who were still showing off their martial arts in the morning, they would die at this time, and they were really a little frightened.
Lu Shi watched those old ladies being dragged down and beaten to death, and he didn't frown, just pretending to be pitiful to Bai Shizu on the side, and sympathized.
"Lu, your housewife is too incompetent, and you have repeatedly indulged your servants in trouble, I have to doubt whether you can be the head of my country's mansion!" Old Madam Bai finally pointed the finger at Lu Ningxiang.
When the Lu family heard this, he looked at the old lady with great grievances, then looked at Bai Shizu, and then said: "Old lady, the concubine is sick, so these evil slaves have a chance, please forgive the old lady!"
"Hmph, are you sick? You haven't seen her for a long time since Jin'er came here? Are you terminally ill and incurable?" Old Madam Bai scolded fiercely, and now when she saw Lu's pretending to be weak, she felt a nameless fire rising up.
Lu bit his lower lip, looked at Bai Shizu with tearful eyes, and silently asked him for help, seeing that Bai Shizu also felt unbearable, and pleaded with the angry old lady Bai: "Mother, Lu is really sick, look at her white face, the doctor also said that she wants to recuperate, I think these slaves are taking advantage of her poor health to dare to be powerful!"
Old Madam Bai was so angry that her chest rose and fell, but she couldn't send it out to her son, if she blushed with her son, what she said in the future, Bai Shizu couldn't listen to it, and held back her anger, Old Madam Bai said: "Grandpa, mother knows that you love your wife, but Jin'er is your own flesh and blood, don't you feel distressed when you see her suffer such a great humiliation?"
Bai Shizu looked at Bai Hibiscus, who was embarrassed and even his eyes were swollen from crying, and suddenly felt that his face was dull, although he wanted to calm things down, but he also understood that if he couldn't give Bai Hibiscus an explanation, he was afraid that his father would be majestic in the future.
"Hey, the Lu family is indeed at fault, mother, you can just watch it!" Bai Shizu sighed and stepped aside, not wanting to meddle in the affairs of the inner house again.
As soon as the Lu family heard that Bai Shizu didn't care about her, he panicked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged: "Old lady, the concubine is indeed derelict in her duties, please let the old lady take it lightly!"
"Where do I dare to send you down, the day before yesterday you were punished for kneeling in the ancestral hall, you fainted, and you have been sick for many days, if I punish you again, isn't that intentionally trying to force your life?" Old Madam Bai said coldly and sarcastically, now I know that I want to ask her? When I pretended to be sick and sow discord, why didn't I see you begging for mercy?
Others don't know, can she not know that Lu is pretending to be sick? Deliberately conniving at the subordinates to bully Bai Mujian, this woman is too careful, is she hitting Jin'er or hitting her in the face?
Bai Mu Hibiscus listened to the words, and quickly pulled the sleeve of the old lady Bai and begged: "Grandmother, I want to come to my mother unintentionally, she is sick after all, she is a child, if you force the seriously ill elders to save me, it is really unreasonable, Jin'er is by no means an ignorant person, fortunately, Jin'er is not really in danger of life, those generals on the body will be raised for a month, it will be fine!"
Bai Hibiscus pretended to smile strongly, and deliberately closed her sleeves, as if she was afraid that others would see it, but when Mrs. Bai saw it, she felt that there was a problem, and brought Bai Hibiscus's hand over, lifted her sleeves, revealing the scars that had begun to show bruises, and under the background of the snow-white skin, it became more and more shocking.
