Chapter 40: Stupid or Not?
Xiao Wang's heart knew that something was wrong, so he immediately stepped forward on his knees, grabbed the hem of Qin You'an's clothes, and begged with tears: "Generalissimo, the concubine is wronged, the concubine has no such thoughts, ask the generalissimo to be clear!" β
When Qin Shu heard this, she raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "So I wronged you?" β
"Get out of here!" Qin You'an was the most annoying woman who was entangled like this, it was so uninteresting that he kicked her out directly.
"Ahh......h The concubine just wanted to go out with the generalissimo, and the concubine never wanted the generalissimo to disobey Mrs. Tai. β
"The meaning of Mrs. Tai is the meaning of Ben Shuai. You turned a deaf ear to Mrs. Tai's orders, and first wanted to disobey Mrs. Tai and be the unfilial son, which is simply punishable! Qin Youan was already impatient, and ordered: "Come on, pull her down, hit the forty boards, and throw her out of the mansion directly, Ben Shuai doesn't want to see her again." β
"No-" Xiao Wang's family was terrified, stepped forward again, hugged Qin You'an's leg tightly, looked up at him and shouted miserably, "Generalissimo, one day husband and wife for one hundred days, one hundred days of grace, how many days has the concubine served you, you can't treat me like this?" β
Forty boards, even a strong man will be beaten to the point that his skin is open and he is half dead. She is a weak woman, she can't hold on at all, and she will definitely die.
The Generalissimo is going to kill her!
ββ¦β¦ The concubine knew that she was wrong, and the concubine didn't dare anymore, so she begged the generalissimo to spare her life...... "Xiao Wang's tears flowed, and the wolf bΓ¨i was extreme, but she didn't care about this at all, she just wanted to live now, and she didn't care about her image or anything for a long time."
She never thought that her behavior would cost her her life, if she had known that this was the case, she would never have come. She will listen to Mrs. Shen's words carefully, continue to be patient, and wait for the opportunity.
At this moment, she simply regretted dying.
But I didn't know that the more she was like this, the more annoying Qin Youan was.
Qin Youan kicked her out again.
In order to survive, Xiao Wang actually hugged his legs tightly, and in order to break free, he kicked harder than just now.
Xiao Wang fell far away and almost couldn't get up. Looking at Qin Youan's eyes, they were full of horror, despair and sadness, as well as a hint of hatred.
She didn't expect that this man would be so ruthless, and he didn't care about his old feelings at all.
She still kept dreaming, thinking that after she got his favor, he would protect herself.
It's ridiculous to think about it now.
He is a person who has no love at all.
It's a pity that she doesn't have time to think about it anymore, the personal guards brought by Qin Youan have already been ordered to step forward and set up the Xiao Wang clan.
Xiao Wang closed his eyes in despair.
"Waitβ" At this moment, a slightly cold, but faintly eager voice suddenly came in.
Everyone followed the prestige, and saw Xiao Ruxuan and Zhao Hanqiu coming together.
The person who spoke was Xiao Ruxuan.
Xiao Ruxuan originally planned to come over a little later to ask for peace, but she didn't expect to hear the news that Xiao Wang's interception of Mrs. Tai, she was afraid that something would happen, so she rushed over immediately. You know, now she is in charge of the house, and she is responsible for what happens.
On the way, she also met Zhao Hanqiu, who also heard the news and planned to come over to take a look, and the two came together.
They arrived with Qin You'an on their front and back feet, but they didn't expect to hear the generalissimo order to beat the forty boards of the Xiao Wang clan as soon as they came, and she was afraid of her life, so she hurriedly spoke out to stop her.
Xiao Ruxuan stepped forward and saluted Qin Shu and Qin Youan, and after Zhao Hanqiu saluted, he stepped aside with interest and didn't say much.
But Xiao Ruxuan knelt down to them.
Qin Shu's face showed a hint of surprise.
Qin You'an narrowed his eyes when he saw this, and asked in an unkind tone, "Are you trying to disobey my orders and intercede for her?" β
"Don't dare to concubine!" Xiao Ruxuan kowtowed respectfully, straightened up and said, "Mrs. Tai, Generalissimo, the concubine is also at fault in this matter. It was the concubine's lax discipline and failure to stop Wang's behavior in time that made her do something wrong, and when it was serious, the concubine was the culprit. β
"How are you doing?" Qin Youan was already a little displeased, and his voice was very indifferent.
Xiao Ruxuan was not nervous or afraid, but she still maintained her apparent calmness and said: "It is too unfair to only punish the Wang family, and the concubine is willing to share the punishment with her." Although the Wang family deserves to die, but please ask Mrs. Tai and the generalissimo to give a light punishment for the sake of Wang's first offense. β
When he had finished speaking, he bowed his head again.
Xiao Wang's eyes were a little complicated when he saw Xiao Ruxuan actually doing this for herself, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at her with a lot of gratitude in his eyes.
Thinking of his previous malicious speculation about her, he felt ashamed in his heart.
If she is lucky enough to survive, she is willing to take the lead for her and repay her kindness for being a cow and a horse.
Zhao Hanqiu looked at Xiao Ruxuan with a look of surprise in his eyes, and then he was a little thoughtful.
I thought to myself, if I were in Xiao Ruxuan's position, would I make the same decision like her.
The answer is no.
She wished that Wang would be executed! How could he intercede for her. Maybe you'll be gloating.
Although she somewhat admired Shaw's fair character and courage, it was too risky.
Isn't this Xiao Clan afraid that Mrs. Tai and the Generalissimo will be angry with her?
Thinking of this, she looked at the generalissimo and the lady.
Mrs. Tai's expression was acceptable, and she didn't see any dissatisfaction, but was a little worried. It's the generalissimo, and his face is not very good-looking.
She also secretly sweated for Xiao Shi in her heart.
Qin Youan looked at her and said lightly: "Since you want to be fair and want to share the burden with her, then Ben Shuai will fulfill you." Come on, drag Xiao Wang's down and hit 20 boards. As for Shaw
Hit 20 boards. As for Shaw's ......"
"You'anβ" Qin Shu suddenly shouted softly.
Qin You'an stopped and looked at Qin Shu inquiringly.
Qin Shu smiled slightly: "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, and the Mid-Autumn Festival symbolizes this reunion." If you punish Aunt Xiao, how can our family be reunited? Who will take care of my household chores? On the last holiday before you set out, you can't leave any regrets. β
Qin Shu didn't see Xiao Wang and the others as a family, but Xiao was different.
"That's what my mother said. It's just that because of this, their mistakes can't be tolerated. Otherwise, what if they commit it again? Qin Youan said with a frown.
He knows and appreciates Xiao's temperament, but sometimes he is too uninteresting.
What does this little Wang have to do with her, and is it worth her to do this?
Qin Shu nodded and said, "Since there is a mistake, it should be punished, not let go." But also in moderation and not overdoing it. Although Xiao Wang's heart can be punished, it has not been done in the end, and the crime is not to death, so she can be given a chance. As for Xiao's, as she herself said, there are also mistakes, in my opinion, she will be punished for kneeling for two hours and deduct her money for two months, what do you think? β
Qin Youan thought about it when he heard this, and said, "It depends on my mother's wishes." β
After speaking, he looked at Xiao Ruxuan who was kneeling on the ground again, and said coldly: "This time, that's it, next time, you can pack up your baggage and go back to Xiao's house!" You don't have to be in front of me and Mrs. Tai again. β
When Xiao Ruxuan heard this, she was a little distracted.
But she still replied respectfully: "Yes, keep in mind the concubine." Mrs. Xie, Generalissimo Xie. β
Qin Youan didn't even look at her, and helped Qin Shu in.
And Xiao Wang's was also pulled down to play the board.
Although the punishment of the 20th board is severe, it may not be able to survive. Xiao Wang did not continue to struggle.
Xiao Ruxuan knelt directly in place, and she had to kneel for two hours before leaving.
Zhao Hanqiu looked at her with some pity and said, "Why are you suffering?" For her, is it worth it? β
That little Wang doesn't look like a person who will be grateful.
Xiao Ruxuan said: "There is nothing worth it, I just want to feel at ease." β
"Even if you are punished and fall out of favor because of it, will you not hesitate?" Zhao Hanqiu felt that she didn't understand her anymore.
Xiao Ruxuan smiled, didn't answer her words, and only said to her, "Sister Zhao, let's hurry in." I can't serve Mrs. Tai and the marshal today, so I can only trouble you to replace me. β
Actually, Xiao Ruxuan is not really that stupid.
She knew what Mrs. Tai and the Generalissimo valued her, if she didn't make a move at the moment and chose to protect herself, she would certainly not be punished, but what would Mrs. Tai and the Marshal think of themselves in their hearts?
must feel that she is nothing more than that, once it involves her own interests, she can abandon her principles.
So, she would rather be punished than let them down in herself.
That's all she can do.
Fortunately, there is still Mrs. Tai today, otherwise, she would have been able to follow the board today.
This made her feel that her hard work during this time was still worth it.
She is far more attentive and respectful to Mrs. Tai than to the Generalissimo, and she really loves her as an adult.
Because she knew that Mrs. Tai was her life talisman, not the generalissimo.
She was married by Mrs. Tai, and she was originally Mrs. Tai's person.
She didn't do this to win over the Wang family. Wang's gratitude, she didn't need it.
Others think she's stupid, but she thinks it's worth it.
She served her purpose, didn't she?
Zhao Hanqiu didn't know what Xiao Ruxuan was thinking, she just felt that she was too stupid. But in my heart, I was closer to her.
Such people are more reassuring and closer. Don't worry that she will sell herself for her own benefit in the future.
She is fundamentally different from Shen Jingfang.
In the past, although she and Xiao Ruxuan cooperated, they had their own plans, she never thought of really taking refuge in her, but always wanted to replace her and press her, because she felt that she was no worse than her.
But now, she felt the difference, and she felt a little convinced.
"Then I'll go in first." Zhao Hanqiu said a word to her, then turned around and left.
Xiao Ruxuan watched her in, restrained her expression, and continued to kneel respectfully in place.
