Thinking of the person who harmed her, Miss Xia's eyes felt cold. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Mother, my daughter is fine, but she was kicked in the face by the carriage that didn't have long eyes and fainted." Miss Xia followed Xiao Tao's words, and coquettishly covered her swollen left cheek, "Hiss! It hurts! ”
Mrs. Xia hurriedly let go of her and asked nervously, "Xiwu, where do you hurt?" ”
The second young master had the vision to order his subordinates to call the doctor.
Xiao Tao took over the conversation: "Doctor Night's medicine doesn't work, otherwise it wouldn't have gone down by now." ”
"Doctor Night?" Mrs. Xia looked at Xiao Tao.
"When the maid went to the south to look for the girl, she happened to meet the night doctor to send the girl back. It is said that the girl went to the Lotus Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and when she went down the mountain, she was hit by a carriage that did not have long eyes, and a few women who passed by took her to the night doctor for treatment. Xiao Tao explained in a straight voice, but the hand hidden in the sleeve was shaking, for fear that someone would hear something flawed.
Mrs. Xia did not doubt him, even if she was suspicious, she would not expose her daughter's shortcomings in front of so many people. After all, one carelessness is likely to ruin his daughter's reputation.
"What are you doing secretly going to the Lotus Temple? If you want to burn incense and worship the Buddha, you should also tell the old lady to bring the maids and the family to go again! The third aunt interjected, she didn't think that this matter was just as simple as Xia Xiwu being hit by a carriage.
The fourth young master tugged on her sleeve and reminded in a low voice: "Mother, the sixth sister is injured, it's not too late to ask tomorrow if there is anything." ”
Miss Xia looked at her coldly, and spoke again, but with a little shyness on her face: "Mother, I heard others say that the Lotus Temple is particularly effective in seeking marriage, and my daughter is engaged to the third young master Leng, and she wants to ask for a long time, so she secretly ran to the Lotus Temple alone." I didn't want to make you laugh at this. It's just that I'm afraid that some people will make a fuss without knowing it, so it's better for my daughter to make it clear. ”
Mrs. Xia squinted at the third aunt, and the other party quickly lowered her head, and a trace of annoyance flashed in her eyes.
"You, since you got engaged, you have been thinking about the third young master of the Leng family for everything, my mother knows that you are shy, but you are not allowed to do this again in the future, at least you have to bring a few maids to go out." Mrs. Xia stiffened her face and pretended to reprimand harshly.
"Mother, my daughter knows it's wrong." Miss Xia bowed her head and behaved.
"Okay, since the evening fog is fine, let's all disperse." Master Xia's hanging heart was slightly lowered, but many of the inside information still had to be asked by Mrs. Xia.
threw a look at her, and Mrs. Xia also responded to his expression of "wrapping it up in me", and Master Xia glanced at Miss Xia again, and then turned his head and left.
The second young master and the fourth young master accompanied Master Xia back, and the ladies of the Xia family each said a few words of relief and went back to their respective courtyards, while Mrs. Xia accompanied Miss Xia back to the pavilion in the west courtyard.
The doctor who was invited was waiting in front of the pavilion, but Mrs. Xia did not let her see Miss Xia's injury, but just asked him to prescribe some plasters to reduce swelling and inflammation, and sent away.
Only Miss Xia and Xiao Tao were left in the house, and the rest were called out.
Only then did Mrs. Xia open her mouth and ask seriously: "Xiwu, you tell your mother the truth, what happened?" ”
Xiao Tao immediately knelt down and cried: "Madam, all the mistakes are the fault of the servant!" ”
"I'll talk about how to punish you later." Mrs. Xia didn't look at her with a tense face, but stared at Miss Xia's eyes, wanting to see some clues from them.
How could she, a mother, not know that the dress on Miss Xia was not hers at all? Every piece of Miss Xia's clothes was made by her mother who accompanied her to the most expensive store in Lianxiang City, although the clothes she was wearing now were not coarse and rotten, but they were a big difference from the clothes she ordered on weekdays.
Miss Xia hesitated for a moment, but still insisted: "My daughter just went to the Lotus Temple to offer incense and was hit by a carriage." ”
Seeing that she refused to tell the truth, Mrs. Xia suddenly pulled open her sleeve, pointed to the blood marks on her wrists, and asked sharply, "Will the carriage crash out of here?" ”
"Mother......" Miss Xia was a little helpless, she wanted to deal with this matter personally, whoever wanted to harm her, she would definitely take revenge in person, with the help of Mrs. Xia's strength, it was difficult to solve the hatred in her heart.
Mrs. Xia went to fish for her skirt again, her ankles were also scarred, the tip of her nose was sore, and she was full of tears: "Our family is just one of your daughters, if you have something good, my mother will not be alive!" ”
Miss Xia couldn't stand Mrs. Xia's tears, so she could only surrender: "Mother, my daughter is fine, but she has suffered a little flesh wound. ”
"Is that true?" Mrs. Xia squeezed her cold hand and asked seriously.
Xiao Tao looked up at her suspiciously, the girl's clothes were torn, or the night boy kindly wrapped her in his own coat, when Xiao Tao washed her body, she thought that the girl was bullied, but now the girl said that she just suffered from flesh and skin, what is going on?
"Mother, I was stunned on the street and sold to a farmer in a southern suburb village as a daughter-in-law." As soon as Miss Xia spoke, she saw that Mrs. Xia's face was like frost, and she hurriedly said, "That farmer wanted to bully me, not only gave me a slap in the face, but also tore my clothes. But he didn't succeed, someone saved me. ”
"Who is so black-hearted and has the idea of beating my daughter!" Mrs. Xia was furious, and she wanted to immediately raise a knife and cut people.
Miss Xia was no less angry than she was, but she couldn't tell Mrs. Xia, because she had to solve the matter herself.
"I will repay her twice as much as the person who harmed me, I want to solve this matter myself, Mother, please fulfill me."
Mrs. Xia shook her hand distressedly and squeezed it gently: "Mother knows that you hate, but how can you solve it for one of your daughters?" It's better to leave it to your mother to help you. ”
"This matter, my daughter can't agree to it." Miss Xia insisted, and it was for her good that she didn't let Mrs. Xia come forward.
Mrs. Xia knew that she was stubborn, and she didn't persecute her anymore, but she would still check it in private.
After thinking about it, he asked, "Who is the one who saved you?" It can't be an unarmed doctor. At the end, he added, "Although there is some unkindness and injustice, those who know about this matter must solve it." ”
The implication is to kill him.
Xiao Tao knelt on the ground and trembled, but did not make a sound.
Miss Xia opened her mouth to plead: "Xiao Tao is my personal maid and has signed a lifelong contract." If something happens to my front foot, the little peach on my back foot will be gone, and people with a heart will inevitably notice something. ”
When Xiao Tao heard this, her heart warmed and she shed two lines of tears.
Mrs. Xia pondered for a while, then retreated: "The person who saved you must not be let go, and the person who is harmful to you must be eliminated!" ”
Miss Xia sighed, she didn't want to find out about this matter, but she didn't want the Xia family to get into trouble without knowing it, so she told the truth: "Mother, the person who saved me is from the Night King's Mansion." ”
"It's not good to be an errand boy in the Night King's Mansion!" Mrs. Xia didn't think about it deeply, thinking that it was a servant of the nobles in the Night King's Mansion, so she rejected categorically.
"Mother, she is the seventh child of the Night King's Mansion, the little prince of the dynasty." Miss Xia reluctantly made it clear.
