The ancestral hall in mid-autumn was already a little cold, Xie Roujia almost fell when she got up, she hurriedly half-squatted down and rubbed her knees while moving towards the door.

"Can I get out?" She banged on the door and shouted, "Can I get out?" ”

The little girl's helpless voice sounded outside the door.

"Second Miss, I can't yet."

"And what about my sister? How's her injury? Xie Roujia asked hurriedly.

"Second Miss, the slave maid has always been here, I don't know." The girl said helplessly.

She was not anxious because she was locked up here, but worried about Xie Rouhui, when she was stopped by the girls, and then her mother came, she only saw Xie Rouhui's bloody hands in the crack of the crowd and was carried to the ancestral hall by the servants and locked up.

My sister was first pushed to the ground by her, and then beaten by the lantern, and the bamboo grate on the lantern cut her hand very badly.

Thinking of this, Xie Roujia pulled the door again.

"Let me go see my sister, let me go see my sister." She shouted.

The heavy door of the ancestral hall was shaken by her, and the little girls outside were about to cry.

"Second Miss, don't make trouble, I'll naturally let you out when Mrs. speaks." They said.

She wasn't afraid of being locked up in the ancestral hall, she just wanted to go see her sister.

Xie Roujia shook the door harder.

"You go and tell your mother, I'm just going to see my sister, and I'll come back when I'm done." She shouted.

No one dared to go to the little girls, but they just persuaded the second lady not to make trouble, and in the end, they simply didn't even persuade them, and let Xie Roujia shake the door as if they didn't hear it.

Xie Roujia shook the door twice and sat down weakly, tears couldn't help but fall.

She actually hurt her sister again......

"Miss!"

There was a sudden sound outside the door, and Xie Roujia jumped up from the ground and grabbed the door.

"Jiangling!" She burst into tears and cried out.

knew that Jiangling would always be by her side.

There was an argument outside the door, but soon Jiang Ling came to the door.

"Miss, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Jiang Ling slammed the door and said.

"How is Sister JMC?" Xie Roujia asked anxiously.

"I don't know." Jiang Ling said, "I was also locked up, I just ran out." ”

At that time, she was the happiest, and before the eldest lady came, Mu Xiang Muye asked people to pull her down.

"Then you go, go and ask." Xie Roujia said hurriedly, "Ask my sister how she is, how much she was injured." ”

Jiangling responded, turned around and ran.

The master and servant didn't cry or make trouble, and they didn't even say who to plead, they came and went suddenly, which made the little girls at a loss.

At this time, in Mrs. Xie's room, someone broke the deadlock with a smile.

"What's right or wrong?" A middle-aged beautiful woman shook her head and said, "Now everyone is talking about Huihui's injury, and nothing else matters." ”

As she spoke, she pulled Xie Yao beside her.

"As long as Megumi is okay, we'll all be fine."

Xie Yao nodded with tears in her eyes, looking at Mrs. Xie and calling her aunt.

"I'm scared to death, as long as Megumi is okay, nothing else is okay." She cried.

The words of the mother and daughter made everyone react.

"yes, yes, thank goodness, it's all right."

The hall was bustling with activity.

Old Madam Xie's clenched hand let go, and she stood up with a blank face.

"It's okay, let's all disperse." She snorted coldly.

The room immediately fell silent, and everyone bowed their heads in response.

Old Madam Xie raised her feet and walked, and the people standing in the hall hurriedly stood to make way, and there was a sudden bustle in the courtyard.

"Stop her!"

With the cheers of a housekeeper's lady.

"Collided with the old lady and the eldest lady, which of you can bear it!"

With her words, the servants and girls who couldn't let go of their hands and feet for fear of alarming the people inside rushed up desperately, and someone kicked hard, and Jiang Ling, who was running in front, screamed and fell to the ground, and without waiting for the ground to slip and stop, four or five people pressed her fiercely.

"I'm just coming to see the eldest lady, and the second lady is really worried about the eldest lady." Jiang Ling shouted with a whin.

The two servants reached out and pressed her mouth.

Old Madam Xie and the others were already standing under the corridor, and when they heard the words Second Miss, everyone's faces were a little complicated, and their eyes couldn't help but turn around Mrs. Xie and Old Madam Xie.

The second lady is now locked up in the ancestral hall, this is to ask the old lady for help.

These two young ladies are deeply favored by Mrs. Xie, and last time they gave her a password not to allow Shao Mingqing to come to the door, so what will they do this time?

Looking at Mrs. Xie and the others, the servants were even more panicked, and they were about to go down with Jiangling, but Mrs. Xie stopped when she opened her mouth.

"Let her speak." She said lightly.

The servants immediately let go of Jiang Ling, but before Jiang Ling could speak, Xie Rouhui spoke first.

"Mother, mother, sister knows it's wrong." "She's terrified, too, and it's okay now, let her out." ”

Mrs. Xie ignored her and just looked at Jiang Ling.

"Say, your young lady asked you to say something." She said.

Jiang Ling kowtowed, and looked up at Xie Rouhui again.

"Miss, how is your injury?" She asked hurriedly.

Xie Rouhui hurriedly shook her head, and Mrs. Xie spoke for her.

"The injury was not serious, it didn't hurt the bones, it just scratched the skin." She said.

Xie Roushu, who was standing behind the people, couldn't help but pout.

"Why do you say it so easily, it's scary to bleed so much, and it's even more painful to scratch the skin." She muttered, "If the injury is not serious, can you intercede?" ”

Song gave her an elbow without looking back.

"Give me some peace." She scolded under her breath.

Xie Roushu shrank her head and didn't dare to speak again.

"yes, yes, I'm really fine." Xie Rouhui said hurriedly, stretched out her injured hand and grabbed Mrs. Xie's sleeve, and called out to her mother with a little pleading.

"Really?" Jiang Ling shouted excitedly at this time, kneeling and crawling forward a few steps, so as to look at Xie Rouhui closer, and look at her hand seriously, "Really, Miss?" Didn't hurt the bones! ”

"No, no." Xie Rouhui said, in order to show that she was really fine, she raised her hand and waved vigorously in front of her, "Look, you can move freely." ”

Seeing her waving her hand, Xie Yao let out an exclamation.

"Don't move!"

"Oh, you kid! What to do if the wound is broken! ”

Immediately, many people shouted loudly, and Mrs. Xie hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop Xie Rouhui.

"She's not badly injured, but she's also injured, it's ridiculous!" Xie Roushu shouted, "You, what do you want to do!" ”

Before her words fell, she saw Jiang Ling kowtow twice, then got up and ran out, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Xie Roushu opened her mouth a little stunned, and the others obviously didn't come back to their senses.

Do? Why did you run away? Why don't you cry and admit your mistakes and ask for forgiveness? Is it really just to ask how the eldest lady is injured?

A trace of astonishment flashed in Mrs. Xie's eyes, and Mrs. Xie snorted and walked up, without saying a word about Xie Roujia, and walked out.

There was some eerie silence in the courtyard.

"Alright, alright, it's okay, let's go back quickly." Mrs. Xie said with a smile.

Everyone was busy laughing and responding, and the atmosphere in the courtyard became lively and brisk.

"There is still a lantern festival at night, and the children are here." Mrs. Xie continued, "It's just that Huihui is inconvenient to go. ”

Her eyes looked at Xie Rouqing, Xie Roushu.

"Qing'er, Shu'er." She said, "Greet the guests in the place of your sister." ”

Xie Roushu's eyes lit up suddenly, and she nodded again and again, and Xie Rouqing also nodded yes.

"And Yaoyao." Mrs. Xie looked at Xie Yao again, and smiled at the woman next to her, "Brother and sister, I have to borrow Yaoyao to come over and ask her to help too." ”

The woman was Huang Shi, the wife of Xie Dezhong, the second lord of Xifu, who smiled when she heard this, and pushed her daughter Xie Yao to Mrs. Xie's side.

"My daughter, I know, if there is anything sister-in-law, you can rest assured that you can explain." She said.

Xie Roushu pursed her lips.

"How can a mother boast about her daughter like this." She muttered.

Although he said this, he couldn't hide the envy in his eyes, and he didn't know what it was like to be praised in public like this.

As everyone dispersed, the courtyard was quiet again, and only Mrs. Xie's family of three remained.

"Mother." Xie Rouhui spoke with a little timidity.

"Take the eldest lady back to rest." Mrs. Xie didn't look at her and said.

A few girls kneeling in the courtyard trembled and got up in response.

"Do you know how to serve the eldest lady?" Mrs. Xie asked.

These girls are not Konoha and others, but unfamiliar faces.

"Yes, the slaves know." They said in unison.

Xie Rouhui wanted to say something, but Mrs. Xie looked at her.

"If you want me to rest assured, then take a good rest, heal your injuries as soon as possible, and be safe and stable, this is the greatest relief for me." She said.

Xie Rouhui looked at her mother with tears in her eyes and nodded, and a group of maids and servants hurriedly followed.

"Konoha have they been punished?" Mrs. Xie asked again.

Xie Rouhui was injured, Xie Roujia beat someone, as the girls around them, regardless of their status, they were all dealt with by the family law.

A servant woman hurriedly replied yes.

"Ten rods as instructed, now they are all carried down, and the doctors have given the medicine." She said, hesitating at this point, "It's just that the girl named Jiangling ran away and didn't catch her, and she didn't have time to be executed, so I will take someone to arrest her and be tortured." ”

That girl.

Mrs. Xie thought of the matter of the right talent, and suddenly felt a little excited.

"Forget it, leave her alone." She said, "Go ahead and get busy with tonight's lantern festival, that's what matters." ”

The servants bowed their heads in unison and retreated.

Back in the house, Mrs. Xie sat down tired and closed her eyes, Xie Wenxing walked over to help her gently rub her shoulder.

"Ayuan." He spoke.

"Brother Achang, I know what you're going to say." Mrs. Xie interrupted him and said, "However, if she can fight for a Shao Mingqing today, she will fight against her sister tomorrow for the position of Lord Dan." ”

Xie Wenxing sighed.

"Ayuan, you're talking about it, I said it's two different things." He said urgently.

"It's not two different things." Mrs. Xie opened her eyes and looked at him, "Again and again, let her get an inch, she will inevitably ask for more and more, today's matter, this must be done, it's time to let her know that in this family, it's not her who has the final say, but Huihui." ”

She closed her eyes and turned inward, obviously not wanting to talk again.

Xie Wenxing sighed lightly.

"But, Ayuan, this matter is Huihui's fault." He whispered.

Mrs. Xie sat up abruptly.

"Wrong? What's wrong with her? She raised her eyebrows and shouted, "Is it wrong to maintain Jiajia's reputation and let her friends accept her?" Or, Ah Chang also thinks that if Hui Hui dares to say that Hui Hui will beat whoever dares to say as her mother said, right? ”

Xie Wenxing was dumbfounded and laughed again.

"Ayuan, you're messing around." He laughed.

Mrs. Xie snorted and lay down again.

"It's not me messing around, it's your Jiajia messing around." She said, "Don't try to persuade me, let's try to make Jiajia understand what is wrong with you." ”

This is the eldest lady of the Xie family, stubborn and unreasonable, Xie Wenxing shook his head and sat down beside her.

"Okay, I know, don't worry, I'll teach her." He said.

…………………………………………

"Really?"

Through the thick door panel, Xie Roujia shouted happily.

"It's true." Jiang Ling's voice came from outside the door, "The eldest lady also raised her hand to show me, and the eldest lady also said, but the skin was scratched, and the bones were not hurt." ”

Great, didn't hurt the bones, great!

Xie Roujia clenched her hands happily, turned around and kowtowed to the ancestor's tablet.

"Thank you, ancestors, for your blessing." She said again and again.

However, my sister was injured, frightened, and in pain.

Xie Roujia sighed, with a look of chagrin and self-blame, took a deep breath and knelt down at the tablet again.

"I was wrong, it was my sister who harmed, and I am willing to be punished." She clasped her hands together and looked at the dense tablets and said, "The ancestors must bless my sister with safety." ”

Listening to the sound of muttering inside the door, Jiang Ling wiped her nose and sat down against the door, and the little girls on the side looked at the blood on her hands with frightened eyes.

"You, you—" they couldn't help but stammer, "Is this a beating?" ”

I heard that the maids and servants around the eldest lady and the second lady were all punished with canes, and none of them could get out of bed for seven or eight days, look at this girl's nose and mouth are full of blood, and her body is also rolling in a mess.

Jiang Ling reached out again and wiped her nose, hissing and inhaling a few cool breaths.

"It's okay, I fell." She said nonchalantly, grinning, "Miss is relieved." ”

The bloody mouth that didn't know if she had touched her teeth or lips was even more scary, and the little girls pulled the corners of their mouths with a little disgust and avoided it.
