Chapter 1: The Day of the Wedding
() The General's Mansion of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The night was dark, and in the General's Mansion, which was originally full of lights and festivity, there was suddenly an intermittent cry of a woman.
On such a festive day, it seemed so unusual, as if something was happening, but the red wall isolated the world inside and the prying eyes of outsiders.
Really, I really want to know what's going on inside. The dark sentry staring outside the General's Mansion couldn't help but sigh, but where was the heavily guarded General's Mansion where they could enter the stragglers.
So those snoopers, enduring the curiosity of cat scratches, tilted their ears sideways, expecting to hear a little bit of cattiness from them.
It's a pity that a qiΔ is just in vain.
And inside the courtyard wall, the woman who had been crying was being held by four big men at the moment, and in front of her was a maid who was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, holding a long whip in her hand, waving it constantly, and each stroke could bring out a slender blood mark.
Originally, there would not be so much blood when whipped, but the long whip was too peculiar, the whip body had bright barbs, and each whip could lightly pierce the flesh and skin, and then take away some flesh when it was drawn, and so on, but after a few strokes, the woman lost consciousness in pain.
But the monstrous hatred still supported her, and she couldn't stop cursing in her mouth, extremely vicious.
"Qiu Moli, you ...... Slut, you must not ...... Good...... Die, the general will not let you go, you just wait to be crushed and dusted! β
"Qiu Mo left me to curse you in this life, in the next life, in the next life, you can't survive, you can't ...... death"
And Qiu Moli in her mouth, the fourth lady of Shangshu Mansion and the current general's wife, was wearing a red wedding dress, with her hands on her waist, looking at the person who was still cursing her in her mouth with an angry face.
"Slut, you still have the strength to scold people, pick up stars, and beat me hard until my bones break."
As Qiu Moli's words ended, the maid who was called to pick up the stars shook her right hand that was a little sore, and then began to pick up the long whip again, and whipped the woman who was still screaming.
In the main courtyard, there were a large number of subordinates kneeling neatly, all bowing their heads, watching this punishment led by the new master mother up close. If it weren't for the general's well-trained daily life, this terrible scream and obviously familiar torture method alone should have frightened some people!
But even if he is well-trained, he is just bolder than ordinary people, and it is a little touching to watch the torture on the spot, and to be anyone!
Today is the day when the general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Xuanzixu and the fourth lady of the Shangshu Mansion, got married, but the general did not appear from the time of the visit, nor did he explain any way to deal with things, and he threw the general's wife in the general's mansion to be ridiculed, and finally the emperor and the virtuous concubine couldn't stand it and looked for a chicken, which was the completion of the worship ceremony.
Although it is no longer a strange thing to worship with a chicken in this Great Zhou Dynasty, it is absolutely impossible for it to happen to her as Qiu Moli.
Sister Yan is the most favored imperial concubine in today's saint, her father is a powerful minister who is deeply relied on by the emperor, relying on Sister Yan and her father, she is naturally a proud daughter of the sky, but it is a pity that the person she married already has her in her heart, if it were not for the request of the virtuous concubine, maybe the two have been married.
So her situation today even the current emperor has to turn a blind eye, the emperor does not speak, and the virtuous concubine is naturally not quiet, and the silence of the virtuous concubine has become a sharp weapon to combat Qiu Moli in the eyes of those who have a heart.
And this caring person is the shelf-up Tao Fuyao, the only concubine in the General's Mansion. originally thought that Qiu Moli was just a bullying Mianyang, but she didn't know that her vicious Cheng DΓΉ was not inferior to herself, and Tao Fuyao had been beaten and had no strength to scold, but the hatred in her heart still lingered for a long time.
She stared at the woman in red, but in her heart she longed to pull out the skin of the person in front of her and drink her blood.
"Hahaha" Qiu Moli felt the murderous hatred and couldn't help laughing.
In the dark night, this laughter was mixed with the indescribable weirdness of the sound of whipping **, and the people kneeling on the ground couldn't help but shudder, they only felt that the blood in their bodies seemed to be flowing backwards, which was terrifying.
Is this person really the fourth lady of Shangshu Mansion? Why such a vicious heart? Everyone thought so in their hearts, but no one dared to step forward to dissuade them, because no one wanted to be the second Taofu.
Suddenly, a slightly calm voice sounded, and I saw that the man glanced at Qiu Moli and spoke directly. "Madam, this punishment is almost over, it's time to stop!"
The person who spoke was the head of the General's Mansion, who had served Xuan Zixu for many years, surnamed Liu, called Liu Xuan, let's call Liu Xuan first.
Mr. Liu has read countless people in his life, but he has never seen such a vicious person at a young age, but a harmless joke turned out to be so strict that he was lynched, and it was also against the general's concubine, he knew that if he didn't stop this matter, he would definitely kill people, and when the general blamed him, he couldn't eat and walk around.
"What, does the housekeeper think that Mrs. Ben's punishment is too heavy? Or does the butler want to try the whip too? Qiu Mo stepped forward and stared straight at the housekeeper, as if he had admitted it, he would never be polite.
The housekeeper frowned, although he didn't like Qiu Moli's tone, but the due respect still didn't fall at all, "Madam, this little one doesn't mean that, it's just that this Lady Peach is deeply favored by the general, you are like this, I am afraid that the general will be unhappy." β
"Lady Peach? How did I not know that there was a second lady in this general's mansion? I remember that when the saint gave the marriage that day, he said that Xuanzi was married to me, not any other lady or woman. Or is it that the holy decree of the saints today is just a null and void in the General's Mansion? β
The housekeeper didn't expect Qiu Moli to slander the General's Mansion like this, so he was stunned for a moment, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
I don't know if I still have to say it, the butler stubbornly spoke. "Small, small doesn't mean that, it's just that the general and his wife are getting married today, and they can't be killed, otherwise it will be unlucky."
"Oh? Can't you kill on the day of the wedding? No one told me about it. After Qiu Moli finished speaking, he thought for a while, and suddenly raised his voice. Butler, you're not lying to me! β
The housekeeper was shocked, originally his words were just casually said, thinking that Qiu Moli would let him go if he heard it, but now, he didn't know how to answer.
"Madam, what the housekeeper said is true, today is indeed "It was the maid who picked the moon and Qiu Moli who spoke, but before she finished speaking, Qiu Moli raised his right hand and was a slap.
"Smack!" Everyone looked at Qiu Moli sluggishly, and the fear in their eyes became even stronger.
"Have I allowed you to speak?" Qiu Moli narrowed his eyes and spoke viciously.
"The slave knows what is wrong." Pick the moon quickly knelt down and kept admitting her mistakes.
But only she knows how unwilling she is to know this mistake, Qiu Moli is short-tempered, and there are countless people who have been beaten in the house, she originally thought that she would restrain after getting married, but she didn't know that she was even more unscrupulous when she broke away from the discipline of Lord Shangshu.
If it weren't for Lord Shangshu's explanation before leaving, how could she mention this, but it's a pity that this stupid woman doesn't appreciate it at all.
"I'm sorry, the maidservant is not sensible, you go on." Qiu Moli smiled.
The housekeeper wiped the sweat on his head, and said stiffly, "What you say is true, and it is not appropriate to kill on the day of marriage." β
"That's it!" Qiu Moli made a look of thinking. But those who are familiar with her know that once Miss Fourth thinks about the problem, someone will definitely suffer.
Sure enough, I saw Qiu Moli wave his big pair and stop the star picking that was beating people, and at the same time did not forget to explain the fate of Mrs. Peach.
"Yes, since you can't kill it, let's sell it in a brothel! Being able to stay in the General's Mansion for so many years, there must be some craftsmanship in serving people. β
