Chapter I: Punishment

The bleak autumn light rain, accompanied by the bitter cold wind, fell desolate all night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info When the morning glow dyed the sky red, the wind and rain stopped, leaving only the thick water under the corridor. Looking up, the heavens and the earth seem to be covered with a layer of rich white veil, hazy and not very real.

In a dilapidated and withered courtyard, fallen leaves are piled up and no one is visible. A few jackdaws falling on the dead trees in the courtyard only looked at them from a distance, and then disappeared with two "yahhh

In just a few moments, clusters of footsteps sounded on the deep and secluded path.

"What's going on? What does it mean to be out of breath? Annoyed but with a little urgency, the voice came from far and near.

"Madame, forgive me! It was the maid who went to the firewood room to deliver food this morning to report, saying that the eldest lady seemed to be out of breath, and the old slave knew about it. I was afraid that something would go wrong, so I stayed here, and then called Cui'er to tell you! An old woman's voice, submissive, trembled and sweated like rain after speaking.

"Quick, open the door and I'll see."

"Yes, ma'am."

In a blur of consciousness, Mu Zhimo seemed to hear a mocking voice in the distance, and he couldn't hear it intermittently and clearly.

Whose voice is this, and why is it so noisy? Mu Zhimo only felt a splitting headache for a moment. Just as she was about to speak, a sharp pain hit her, and she tilted her head and fainted.

With a "creak", the door was pushed open from the outside, and the spider on the spider web in the corner of the house was startled and fled in a hurry to the dark corner.

Waste wood and straw filled most of the room, and a lame wooden table covered with dust lay quietly on one side, and the strong sunlight rushed in and shone on the sleeping woman on the ground.

The woman was dressed in a green skirt, her slender body curled up in a ball, and her body was staggered with whiplashes, some places were already scabbed, and some were still slightly oozing blood. His face was pale, his willow eyebrows were frowning, and his lips were biting hard, although his face was a little dirty, it was difficult to hide his beautiful appearance.

"It's dirty in this house, Madame watch her feet!" A grandmother bowed down and stood at the door, and said respectfully.

Outside the door, there was an elegant woman standing at the end, nearly thirty years old, dressed in a group of green smoke and cloud goose pattern clothes, wearing a brocade and wool cloak, her appearance was dignified and gorgeous, but her complexion was extremely bad, Fu Fan Shi Zhu could not hide the darkness on her face and the panic hidden in her eyes. Staring at the woman on the ground, she took two steps, but finally didn't step in, and covered her expression and instructed the grandmother on the side, "You, go and show me what's going on with her?" ”

A woman took the order to stand up, trotted in a few steps and squatted beside Mu Zhimo, swallowed deeply before shaking her hand and leaned over, only for a moment she relaxed, "Madam, the eldest lady is fine!" ”

When the woman heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, but then she became angry again. The sharp eyes swept over, and a little maid not far away "pounced" and fell to the ground, "Madame spare your life, Madame spare your life!" ”

Several maids and grandmothers lowered their heads, and they were silent.

"What are you waiting for? Don't drag it out yet! The woman behind her rebuked angrily.

Hearing the sound, the two mothers-in-law hurried over, tore off the sweat towel hanging from their waists, stuffed it in the maid's mouth and lifted her down.

It wasn't until it was quiet that the woman frowned and ordered, "Go and wake up Mu Zhimo's girl for me!" ”

As soon as the cold water came down, Mu Zhimo moved her fingers, relieved her painful eyes twice, and before she could think about the information in her head, she listened to an angry voice at the door, "It's just a matter of bullying your sister, and you are still weak and weak all day long, how did Mu Fu treat you harshly?" You want to ruin the reputation of Mu Mansion like this! ”

Mu Zhimo slowed down twice before opening her eyes, and when she looked up, there was a woman in a dark green woven floral dress and a blue and green floral tufted coat standing in the room, holding a rusty iron chain in her hand, looking at her with a look of pity on her face, but it was fleeting. There were several maids and maids standing at the door of the house, and the woman at the head looked dignified and gorgeous, but her face was dark and fierce.

Mu Zhimo endured the pain, propped herself up, turned over and knelt down, her eyes were full of tears, and she said sincerely: "Mother, it's all her daughter's fault, and her daughter really shouldn't lose her sense of proportion, causing the sisters to be estranged, and tired You are so worried, your daughter is not filial!" Her voice was soft and soft, and her tears were shining, like morning dew among flowers.

Mother-in-law Liu Yun is this beautiful woman!

The people in the room were a little surprised, the cowardly character of the stuffy gourd in the past dared to say a few words now? It's really hard to practice courage in the Hades Palace!

Liu Yun looked at Mu Zhimo's immobile face, and remembered the ridicule she received when she was just a bride, and she couldn't help but feel deep disgust. I thought it would be easy for her to be silent, but this girl just endured the grievances and whispered! It's not good to look at her like that, if there is really a good one, I'm afraid...

"It's good that you can understand your mother's hard work! Although the Mu family is also a big family in Linyi, it has a name of imperial businessman, but it can't wash away the word businessman, which inevitably makes people look down on it, and if you accidentally drop a handle, it will damage the dignity of the Mu family, and it will be very difficult to find it again! You are my daughter, will I still harm you? Sisters are a family, my sister is young and ignorant, you should let her go, you have to fight to win or lose, where is there any beautiful girl?"

"Yes, mother, my daughter will follow her mother's teachings, and she will be a good lady, and she will be filial to her daughter!" Mu Zhimo bowed her head and replied respectfully and meekly.

"For the sake of your correct attitude in admitting your mistakes, punish you to go back and copy the female precepts fifty times, and punish you for three months' money, think about it carefully, are you dissatisfied with your mother's arrangement?" Liu Yun asked with concern.

Mu Zhimo said in a respectful whisper: "My daughter doesn't dare to complain, my mother is good for her daughter and loves her daughter in her heart." ”

After enduring it, Zhimo was already covered with sweat, and his little face was pale and crumbling.

Liu Yun looked at Mu Zhimo at this time with a slight apprehension in her eyes, as if she had fallen into a deep memory, and then unwillingness and resentment. But it quickly recovered. He sat there dignified and virtuous again, and his expression was not inappropriate.

"Okay, Grandma Sun will take the eldest lady down. Later, I asked the doctor to show the eldest lady the injury. I'm tired, and I'll talk about it tomorrow. Saying that, Liu Yun turned around and walked out, without looking at Mu Zhimo again.

An old woman dressed in a little flamboyant dress came in at the door of Shaoqing, with a long face and thick eyebrows, and a slightly hanging triangular eye with obvious ridicule and mockery, looking at Mu Zhimo and saying with disgust: "It's really a delicate body, hurry up and get up, Mama, I'll send you back, the front yard is still waiting for me to go on an errand, but I can't delay!" He didn't mean to help Mu Zhimo get up.

This grandmother is Liu Yun's dowry grandmother, playing a small affection, this person is used to praising high and low, bullying concubines, and treating people harshly.

Mu Zhimo stood up, smiled brightly, looked at Mama Sun and said, "Please ask Mama to lead the way, otherwise it will be too late to go back, and there will be another problem with my body, if my mother blames it, I am afraid that Mama will not be able to afford it!" ”

Mama Sun looked at Mu Zhimo a little blankly, obviously with a smile on her face, but she said threatening words, could it be true? A gust of cold wind made her feel a chill down her spine! I was busy shaking my body, so it was important to go back first!

"Hmph, if you fight like this, you still have the strength to say this, take care of yourself first." Saying that, Mama Sun kicked away the messy waste grass under her feet, shook her sleeves and went out angrily.

Mu Zhimo picked up a wooden stick and walked out of the firewood room with vague steps.
