Xiusun took advantage of the late night, climbed from the back window of his house to the cloister, and climbed over the wall out of the courtyard, Zhuangzi's courtyard wall was not high, first climbed the tree next to the wall, and then jumped down, silently.

There is such a thing as going over the wall, which is half by body and half by guts. When Xiusun was seven or eight years old in her previous life, she had already rummaged through the high and low walls of the palace with Princess Yongding and the five princes, and of course, she was not beaten when she was discovered.

Ruan's mother-in-law ordered her mother-in-law to guard the gate of the courtyard where Xiusun and herself lived, and strengthened patrols everywhere, which not only ensured safety, but also prevented Xiusun from messing around again, but she didn't expect her daughter's skills to be so strong that she would climb trees and climb over walls.

Xiusun's health has been good recently, and her body has recovered, but as a child, she can't use her arms and legs as freely as before.

Finally went to see Xu Jingxing, confirmed that he did not have a high fever, and confirmed that no one would continue to chase and kill, which was half relieved, he should be able to get through, Buddha bless.

Because of this misconduct, Xiusun faced the most severe punishment in his life.

On the spot, Ruan's left hand grabbed him and beat him fifty hands, the palm was not only swollen as high as a steamed bun, but also broke the skin, Chen's mother watched and pleaded vigorously, but Ruan said with tears in her eyes, "Don't get in the way, I have the best ointment here, and I won't let her have a scar." If she doesn't beat her hard, how can she remember. Today she knew that it hurt, and he didn't dare to come back in the future. As he spoke, his red-eyed eyes glared at Xiusun fiercely.

But this good ointment, when it hits the broken skin, it hurts to drill the heart and eat the bones, and when the medicine is applied, it looks like it has been beaten fifty boards. Xiusun shrank her neck and cried for mercy, "Mother, I don't dare, I don't dare anymore, woo......"

After Ruan Shi finished fifty beatings, he threw away Xiusun's hand, held the kang and pointed at her and said, "From today onwards, you are not allowed to go out of the house, you are not allowed to leave my sight for half a step, that female commandment, copy it a thousand times, go and copy it for me now." ”

A thousand times! Mother, why are you more ruthless to your daughters than to your aunts.

Xiusun, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately collapsed to the ground as if he had been drained of his strength, his steamed bun-like left hand accidentally touched the ground, and the ball bounced up, "Hey! Xiusun screamed in mourning.

Ruan Shi raised her eyes, she lay on the ground with tears and snot on her face, pitiful, distressed, but still ruthless, don't open her eyes, "I told you that you just need to memorize the female commandment, but now it seems that you are not familiar with it, go ahead, think about what I said." ”

Seeing that there was no hope of begging for mercy, Xiusun had to get up obediently, and his intact right hand supported the ground and stretched his sore legs, and limped out of the house.

Before the Ruan family beat people, they sent Chen's mother to search Xiusun's house, and found two scripts from the cage, and the maids and women in the courtyard also heard a burst of crackling and crying and begging in Ruan's house, and they all thought that the young lady peeked at the notebook and was discovered by his wife, so he was punished.

Nowadays, the book is so popular, which boudoir lady doesn't secretly read one or two copies, Mrs. beat so hard this time, it seems that some punishment has been made, and the servants have some sympathy for Miss, and Mrs. is too strict.

Xiusun actually understood what Ruan meant, the female commandment should be memorized backwards, and as for whether to abide by it or not, it depends on the situation and skills. She is actually a practitioner of this theory, but this time she faced a dilemma with no choice, and keeping Xu Jingxing was the first priority, as for her own reputation or something, she couldn't take care of it.

In fact, she was gambling on Ruan's love for her, betting that Ruan's would be in chaos, and in her anger, she couldn't think of any more secure way, and she was bent on protecting her reputation, so she had to act according to her advice.

She won the bet, but her heart hurt a little, after all, she took advantage of a mother's sincere affection.

The next day, when it was dawn, Xiusun was lifted out of the quilt by the Ruan family and stuffed into the carriage. Only then did she realize that Ruan's face was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed to have not slept all night.

Xiusun felt guilty in her heart, raised her eyes to look at Ruan's worriedly, lifted the teapot and poured a cup of warm tea and gave it to Ruan's, "Mother, you drink saliva, if you are tired, lean on me and rest for a while, I have grown a lot of meat recently, very Xuanhu." ”

Ruan Shi seemed to be amused by Xiusun, but he couldn't help it anymore and glared at her sharply, indicating that she was still angry and didn't bother her.

Xiusun smirked flatteringly, put the teacup on the small table in Ruan's hand, and shrank back into the corner to sit.

The night before, the mother-in-law who climbed over the wall and evaded the inspection, was interrogated by Xu Jingxing's cunning fox for a long time and almost exposed the stuffing, after returning to the room, he had palpitations, and his head was excited and he didn't fall asleep for most of the night.

When I woke up again, I found myself lying in a strange room, with only a rattan mat under him, Ruan Shi was sitting next to the kang table and was about to look at the account book, and when he saw that she was awake, he didn't stop, but he only angrily pouted at the other side of the kang table, and said coldly, "Since you woke up, let's continue to copy." ”

Xiusun looked at the pen and ink inkstone on the kang table and added a thick stack of paper, and suddenly felt a faint pain in both hands, the left hand was beaten, and the right hand was a female commandment and cramped.

In the next few days, Ruan's punishment for her was carried out without saying a word, and wherever she went, she took Xiusun with her, watched her copy the female commandments, and if she needed to see the steward, she would let Xiusun go into the inner room to copy it, and by the way, she arranged for a big maid to polish her ink and supervise her not to be lazy. No more than 20 times a day, no sleep.

Woo, there are more than 2,000 words in the female commandment, and if she has to copy more than 40,000 words 20 times a day, a total of 1,000 times, she has to copy it like this for 50 days in a row.

Xiusun had to copy while crying, and she couldn't cry before she finished copying ten times, so she obediently accepted her fate and quietly fought with pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

This is not over, Ruan Shi has nothing to do, so he asks questions with the female commandment she has copied, proposes the previous sentence for her to take the next sentence, or randomly points to a sentence and asks her what the previous sentence is, as well as where this sentence comes from, how that sentence should be understood and so on, and if she can't answer, she uses a ring ruler to pull her wrist.

Xiusun was completely frightened and completely succumbed.

Seven days later, Chen's mother came with the news that the injured person disappeared silently, and a few days later, Chen's mother came with news again, Zhuangzi had been thoroughly cleaned inside and out, and there was no trace of the person, so he should really be gone.

The Ruan family also ended the inspection of the various farms in Pukou and returned to Naqi Garden with Xiusun.

Taking advantage of the fact that the dog days have not passed, Ruan's intention to let Xiusun soak in the hot springs again, recently due to the hard work of writing, spending a lot of body, Xiusun's meal is getting longer, coupled with the supplements sent by Ruan's cup, Xiusun has gained weight again.

Maybe it's because the skin around her body has been stretched by the extra fat, but she looks a lot whiter and becomes a round white fat girl.

Ruan was worried that Xiusun was too tired, so he gave her two days off, soaked in the hot springs to relax, and slowly copied the remaining 700 or so times after going back.

Only this time, Ruan Shi no longer dared to let Xiusun soak in the hot spring alone, let her soak in the pool, and sit in the wing room to drink tea.

The little magpie's left and right hands were each under the fifty ring rulers personally held by Chen's mother, and they were recuperating from their injuries, and this time Yingge was waiting by the side.

Xiusun didn't feel comfortable lying in the warm pool, she just went to see the little magpie, a pair of chubby little hands were swollen higher than she was at that time, Xiusun gave her the ointment that would not leave a scar, whether it hurt a little, or beautiful is the most important.

The little magpie only said, "My mother said, since she has followed the master, she can only listen to the master alone, and leave everyone else." "Rightly strong, but childish, maybe she doesn't know what she's talking about.

Little magpie, do you know that if you are so foolish, you may lose your life.

Xiusun finally understood why Nguyen was so good at talking, and did not further drive out the little magpie or sell it directly.

One is that she understands the temperament of the little magpie, and knows that this little girl has no idea herself, but is just blindly obedient, Aunt Zhao's lesson tells her that the people around her would rather stay at all than be too smart; The second is to keep the little magpie by Xiusun's side, so that Xiusun can always remember this matter, the master's mistake will affect the next person, if you are ruthless, just do it.

Alas, I don't know what happened to Xu Jingxing, such a serious injury, he actually left after seven days of recuperation, and he was not afraid that the wound would worsen halfway and give him his life.

In the past few days, Xiusun has inquired about the liquidation process of the capital, and the Duke of Wei is not among them, she breathed a sigh of relief, after all, it is the maiden family of the queen mother and the queen, and the emperor at least cares about his face, hoping that he can always take care of it.

Two days later, Ruan took Xiusun and set off back to Foshou Lake Villa, passing near Jiangpu County, but saw several men dressed as officials carrying sabers and stopped in the middle of the road.

Standing next to the car, he said, "Back to Mrs., there was a murder here a few days ago, and these officials were guarding the scene, saying that they would wait for Lord Yin Li of Tianfu to come over to check in person." ”

"Homicide?" Ruan's voice trembled a little, Xiusun also straightened up, the mother and daughter glanced at each other, and they both thought of Xu Jingxing at the same time.

It's just that the Ruan family doesn't know Xu Jingxing's identity, and he hasn't even seen it, suspecting that he is a Jiangyang thief, and he is afraid, but Xiusun knows Xu Jingxing, and is thinking about whether he is with the victim or opposite, or it doesn't matter at all.

The attendant continued, "Yes, ma'am, and, and ......."

Nguyen urged, "Go on." ”

The attendant glanced at the drooping curtain and continued, "The one who was killed was the eldest lady of the Wu family and her party. "The wife of the local magistrate from Erpin was killed, this is a big case.

"What?" Nguyen Thi clenched the handkerchief in his hand and continued, "When were people killed? She already had a guess in her mind.

The attendant replied, "The leading official said that it has been half a month, and the body was found seven days ago, and the identity has just been confirmed. ”

Xiusun gasped and looked at Ruan again, half a month ago, and the place of the crime was near Pukou County, that is to say, not long after they parted ways with Wu Ke's that day, Wu Ke's party was killed.

It was also the day when Xu Jingxing was injured and hid in the hot spring Zhuangzi, could it be that he really had something to do with it?

No, he didn't know Ukos, how could it be.

Or are these two things really a coincidence?

There is nothing more to corroborate, it is that there is no longer any more inference.

Xiusun was pondering, but saw Ruan Shi glaring at her fiercely, pointing at the corner of her forehead, as if to blame, "You don't know how to be vigilant, in case that person is the murderer, how can it hurt you." ”

Xiusun knew Ruan's worries, and flattered Ruan's to make a gesture, saying that he knew he was wrong.

"Madam, let's go the other way." The attendant hesitated.

Ruan immediately agreed, "Let's take the big road and go back quickly." ”

Pukou has always been simple, the road is not forgotten, the night is not closed, she is not too vigilant on weekdays, thinking that anyway, with the guards, she wants to pick a cooler road, and now the road is a murder, plus a few days ago someone broke into her Zhuangzi, she suddenly alerted, the crisis is in front of her.

You must know that Mrs. Wu has a few good guards around her, and then look at the guards around her, she is really bold on weekdays, Ruan Shi secretly reviewed.

The mother and daughter sat in the carriage and thought about their own thoughts, and the carriage turned around and retreated back to the main road, all the way to the west, and quickly whipped up the horses and went to the Buddha Hand Lake Courtyard.
