Chapter 123: The Third Beating
"Master!"
Xia Er almost fell headlong into the house, she knelt on the spot, didn't care about any rules at all, and crawled in front of Shen Lian crying.
"Master, slave, slave has seen the pearl of the night!"
Shen Lian has been waiting for this for a long time, and he is angry at this time, where can he hear such an inexplicable reply?
She lifted her foot and kicked Xia Er out - she couldn't even say a word, and she had to ask the master one sentence at a time?
She didn't ask, but wanted to see when Xia Er would be able to explain the matter.
How did Xia Er know that at this time, his master was still thinking about pretending! She was already injured and anxious, and when she was slapped by Shen Lian like this, she felt a huge pain in her chest, as if blood was about to burst out of her heart.
But...... The matter of the Night Pearl has not been clarified yet!
Xia Er pressed her chest hard with one hand, crawled towards Shen Lian hard, hugged Shen Lian's legs, and said in a very weak voice: "Lord, master, we are going to be unlucky......
Going to be unlucky? She's not unlucky enough, huh?
Shen Lian has never been unlucky since she got married, so she can't listen to this kind of bad talk. looked down at Xia Er holding her feet, her whole face twitching together......
Shen Lian was disgusted for a while, raised his foot and kicked Xia Er out again: "Get out and think about it clearly and then talk back!" ”
It's not that Xia Er doesn't want to make her words clear, but she has been worried for so long, and today she was suddenly frightened, and the whole person couldn't bear it anymore. Now that he was kicked by Shen Lian again, he didn't even have time to spit out the last breath - he rolled his eyes on the spot and fell to the ground and didn't move!
When Shen Lian married into the Jin family, she was afraid that Jin Feibai would look down on her girl, so she only brought the best Xia Er. At this time, Xia Er fell to the ground and did not move. It was useless to be angry for a while, so she walked up to her and kicked her twice, and said fiercely: "You get up for me!" Don't you want me to serve you!? ”
Shen Lian kicked twice, and seeing that Xia Er still didn't move, she "snorted" from her nose, opened the curtain and looked out.
The porch was empty, not to mention the food box. Not even a small bowl!
If it weren't for the fact that there were many people in the courtyard at this hour. Shen Lian really wanted to drag Xia Er up from the ground and slap her a few times - she couldn't do such a small thing, so she waited for a long time. Bird's nest doesn't even have a shadow!
Shen Lian glanced at Xia Er lying on the ground again, turned around and entered the back room without looking back, and went to rest by herself.
Not long after this break, Mama Hu's voice came from the courtyard.
Shen Lian had been leaning against the bed rail, and she was already asleep - every day. When the time comes, if Jin Feibai doesn't come. She washed off her makeup and slept on her own.
Suddenly hearing Mama Hu's voice, Shen Lian jumped up almost reflexively.
Mama Hu is a person who can't be offended, at least, not now.
Shen Lian went out to greet him. Mama Hu was not polite, she opened the curtain and came in.
The two looked at each other and didn't say a word. was startled by Xia Er lying in the main hall!
Mama Hu didn't salute either, and glanced at Shen Lian suspiciously. Then he went to check on Xia'er...... As soon as her hand was next to Xia Er, she suddenly retracted - Xia Er's body was stiff and did not look like a living person, and Mama Hu didn't seem to feel any temperature when she touched it.
Shen Lian was naturally panicked, but she didn't dare to step forward, so she could only watch Mama Hu flip Xia Er's body lying on her side.
A pale face suddenly appeared in Shen Lian's eyes, and she screamed in fright, and quickly covered her eyes with her hands.
That kind of white and blue face is not the face of a living person at all. Shen Lian was so frightened that she retreated back again and again, but she couldn't help but watch Mama Hu's actions through her fingers.
Mama Hu was frightened at first, but then she was not afraid, at her age, she had seen a lot of dead girls - but she had never seen such a way of death......
She poked her hand under Xia Er's nose, turned around and said coldly to Shen Lian, "This girl is dead...... Young lady, madam, she invites you to go to Dexin Courtyard. ”
Shen Lian leaned her body against the wall, almost rubbing her back against the wall to get out of the room, she stared at Xia Er on the ground, and pleaded with Mama Hu: "I'm also about to go to find my mother, this ...... Can you ask Mama to order a few people to come and clean up Xia'er? ”
Shen Lian treats her maid like a thing...... When you die, you become a useless thing!
Rao is such a hard-hearted Mama Hu, and she can't help but feel cold.
She said to Shen Lian expressionlessly: "Then the young lady will go by herself, and the slave will arrive later." ”
――――
Shen Lian breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, she was generous before, and gave Mama Hu a hundred taels at one time, otherwise I am afraid that this time it would not be so light. If Xia Er's death is relied on her, she will have to accompany her a lot of silver taels.
But this is good, should the Shen family send another maid over? Or ask Mrs. Jin for a ......
Shen Lian entered the Dexin Courtyard all the way in a cranky way, and when she entered, she felt uncomfortable all over her body - why did everyone look at her with a strange look today?
Did the news of Xia Er's death spread so quickly?
But even if it spreads all over the world, isn't it just a dead maid...... She didn't kill it, who knows how she died!
Speaking of which, in the past few days since she got married, Shen Lian has seen a lot of all kinds of strange eyes - but no time has she been as strict as she is today.
With apprehension, she entered the main house of Dexin Temple......
Mrs. Jin sat in the main room and waited, holding a cup in her hand and her hands full of muscles. If you look closely, you can see a slight tremor.
Seeing Shen Lian walking in as usual, Mrs. Jin was even more angry, she casually threw the cup over and smashed it at Shen Lian's feet, splashing broken porcelain and water stains all over the ground.
"You still have the face to see me!?"
Mrs. Jin gritted her teeth, and her voice was squeezed out between her teeth.
…… What's going on?
Shen Lian was sure that Mrs. Jin would never be furious because she had died a Xia Er, so what was going on with this - could it be that when she got her things, she wanted to cross the river and tear down the bridge?
"Mother, the pearl of that night ......" Shen Lian wanted to remind Mrs. Jin that the pearl of the night was hers!
"You still have the face to mention the pearl of the night?"
Mrs. Jin stood up suddenly with her chair in her hand: "Come on, give me a slap!" ”
Mrs. Jin didn't give Shen Lian a chance to defend herself at all. At this order, the two maids who were standing quietly in the room immediately stepped forward, one of them pulled her two arms back and grabbed them firmly, while the other shook off her shoulders and struck her in the face very skillfully!
The sound of "popping" in the room was endless, but Mrs. Jin still didn't understand her hatred: "Call me!" Hit me hard! ”
Shen Lian was beaten so much that her eyes were full of stars, she could feel that her nose was bleeding down, and her mouth was full of the smell of blood, she wanted to speak, she wanted to ask why, but the continuous slaps kept pumping her face to both sides, and she didn't have a chance to speak at all.
This is the third time she has been beaten!
On the day of the candle night in the cave room, he was punched and kicked by Jin Feibai. Of course, she didn't let go of her face - if it weren't for Mrs. Jin's concern for the night pearl and persuaded Jin Feibai, then she wouldn't be able to live this day.
On the second day of tea, because of a descendant quilt, Mrs. Jin slapped her severely, and she didn't give a meeting gift at all-later she also cried and complained, saying that the quilt must have been dropped by Shen Youfu...... Mrs. Jin hated Shen Youfu the most, so she let her go for the time being.
What is the reason for this third time?
Shen Lian suddenly regretted a little, she shouldn't have handed over the Night Pearl to Mrs. Jin after returning to the door......
If Mrs. Jin knew what Shen Lian was thinking at the moment, she would probably be so angry!
When she came back from outside today, she saw a large group of people gathered around, saying that there was a boy selling night pearls in the middle!
Needless to say, one only sells for twenty taels of silver, and you can pick your favorite suit for five taels, which is sold out today, and will come tomorrow!
Shen Lian is treating her as a fool, and the Jin family is a fool!
How can she relieve her anger just by slapping her, if she wasn't afraid of a lawsuit, Mrs. Jin even wanted to find a rope to strangle her to death.
For such a thing, the Jin family spent a lot of time to entertain guests and friends, and even took out the position of Feibai's wife.
In the end, it was exchanged for twenty taels!?
Are you tired, if you are tired, you will change people to fight, don't let her taste it today, she is really easy to fool when she is the Jin family!
――――
Shen Lian felt like she had walked in the eighteenth layer of hell, she endured the pain and tried to open her eyes, but she could only open a thin gap.
…… Shen Lian curled up on the ground in pain, her mouth was full of blood, and her teeth were loose, but she was still unwilling, unwilling to be beaten like this inexplicably.
She stared at Mrs. Jin tightly from that slit, and said vaguely, "Why ......?"
Mrs. Shen looked at her condescendingly—after fighting for so long, she let out a sigh of relief, and she was willing to point out Shen Lian's words: "The night pearl you brought is fake!" ”
Fake?
Shen Lian recalled the pearl of the night, which was more beautiful than the daylight during the day, and could emit such an attractive fluorescence at night...... Mrs. Jin also tested it at the time, how could it be fake?
"Now, there are already sold again in Jing'an City, twenty-one taels!" Mrs. Jin was almost angry with Shen Lian.
This......
Shen Lian wanted to say that this is impossible!
But although she was dizzy, her brain was still not bad, and she suddenly thought of the origin of this bead - Shen Youfu.
What is impossible to get involved with Shen Youfu? Could it be that from the very beginning of this matter, it was Shen Youfu who deliberately lured her into the urn, thus setting a trap?
Listening to Mrs. Jin's own story, Shen Lian's heart was like ashes - that little boy was playing this in front of Jin's mansion, which was exactly the same as Shen Youfu's style!
"No, it's not me, it's it, it's Xia'er, it's Xia'er......" Shen Lian finally panicked, "I don't know anything!" (To be continued) R655
