Song Lingyue was boiling medicine for Mrs. Xia in the east courtyard, Xia Ke rushed into the kitchen with a few messengers, and couldn't help but say that people set up Song Lingyue and took him straight to the main courtyard.

Along the way, no matter how Song Lingyue asked, Xia Ke didn't say a word, only said that the old lady had something to do with her, and asked her to go to the main hall to talk, Song Lingyue felt faintly uneasy, but there was not even a person who could ask for help.

Pushed into the hall with a push, the old lady was sitting on the Taishi chair, the old man and the wife of the other rooms, as well as the young master and the young lady were all in the hall, as soon as Song Lingyue entered, the eyes of the people looked at her one after another, with different expressions.

"Grandmother, the eldest lady's lost things were found in Miss Song's room, and there were a lot of them, and they were both stolen." Xia Ke said proudly, and put the jewelry box in his arms on the table, which was the one of the eldest lady.

As soon as Song Lingyue saw this box, she "chuckled" in her heart, this was what the eldest lady said to give it to her, she couldn't refuse, and took it back for her to keep it, how could it be found by Xia Ke? She also said that the eldest lady was lost, and she was stolen by everyone, did she think she was a thief?

The old lady glanced at Song Lingyue with a cold gaze, raised her chin at the box, and asked, "Let's talk about it!" How did this thing end up in your house? ”

Song Lingyue was uncomfortable under everyone's gaze, as if she had really done something wrong, but she was clear in her heart, she didn't take it, so she explained: "Back to the old lady, more than half a month ago, I coaxed the eldest lady to drink medicine, and the eldest lady took this jewelry box and gave it to me, I couldn't refuse, so I put it away for her first." ”

The old lady sneered, "Really? If you don't want it, why don't you give it to your uncle for safekeeping, don't you think you shouldn't, or do you not want to give it at all? ”

Song Lingyue rubbed her hands in embarrassment, she did have this idea at the beginning, but during that time, she always wanted to avoid Xia Yeqing, and she didn't have time to tell him, in the current situation, such a reason naturally can't be spoken, it's really difficult to distinguish, and said: "I, I haven't had time yet." ”

The second wife laughed "poof" and teased: "It's really too late, otherwise I'm afraid this thing would have left the Xia Mansion a long time ago, and I wouldn't be able to catch it if I want to, right?" ”

"Second wife, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that, I mean, I really didn't take this thing, and I didn't want it."

Song Lingyue tried her best to explain, turned her gaze to the old lady, and begged: "Old lady, please believe me, imagine if I stole it, how could I hide it in the room?" I'm sure I'll find a way to take it out and pay it back, and I'll never leave it for myself. ”

Before the old lady could speak, the second lady answered again, "Yo, I listened to your plan quite thoroughly, it seems that I had an idea, but I was arrested before I could implement it, so I could only lie and say that it was given by the eldest lady, what a cunning person, but it is useless for you to explain, a thief is a thief." ”

Other people who watched the excitement also echoed it, especially Xia Tong, looking at Song Lingyue's gaze, as if they couldn't wait to eat her.

"This person who came out of the bottom has also been in Fengyue Place, what kind of good thing can it be, for the sake of money, he must do everything, and stealing things is nothing."

"Yes! I said a long time ago that the Xia family should not easily recruit an outsider in, which is good, for her to eat and live, but in the end it is a white-eyed wolf, I really don't know what to do. ”

Song Lingyue listened to the scolding that was worse than the other, and she really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, the eldest lady was a patient, it was impossible for her to come over to confront her, and this matter seemed to be unexplainable.

The old lady had long lost her patience, and she couldn't say a serious reason for seeing her hesitant for a long time, so she raised her head and instructed the housekeeper: "If your hands and feet are not clean and refuse to admit it, drag them out, and beat me hard until she admits it." ”

When Song Lingyue heard the old lady's words, her face turned pale with fright, and she almost collapsed on the ground, and she didn't care who was who, grabbed the person closest to her, and begged bitterly.

"Please believe me, I really didn't take the eldest lady's things, please help me ask the old lady for a favor, I really didn't take it."

Xia Yejin coldly pushed her hand away, and said viciously: "I don't know what to do, now you know that it's powerful, right?" I won't intercede for you, and with this time, you will learn to be obedient. ”

The housekeeper didn't dare to disobey the old lady's wishes, and regardless of Song Lingyue's crying and pleading, he immediately let people drag her outside and press her to the cold ground.

The old lady gave an order, and the two messengers went to the firewood room to get two flat boards, one left and one right, according to Song Lingyue.

The board is not like punches and kicks, but the pain is not comparable to fists and feet, every time it hits Song Lingyue's body, the bones hurt as if they were broken, cold sweat penetrated the clothes on her back, the cold wind blew, the biting cold, straight to the bottom of her heart, it turned out that no matter where she went, she couldn't escape the fate of being bullied.

Song Lingyue swallowed back her tears, she promised herself that she would never shed tears in front of outsiders in the future, especially in front of these people who were waiting to see jokes and laugh at her.

Just when Song Lingyue couldn't stand the pain, the old lady ordered someone to stop, and asked through the door, "The Xia family is not thin on you, why did you do such a thing, why did you steal the eldest lady's things?" ”

Song Lingyue's cold sweat flowed down her scalp to her neck, she struggled to raise her head, gritted her teeth and said: "I didn't take it, I didn't steal a penny from the Xia family, if you don't like me, you can let me go, you don't need to humiliate me like this." ”

Seeing that she was unrepentant, the old lady raised her hand and gave a death order, "Give me a hard beating, until she doesn't dare to speak hard." ”

The board was hit again, Song Lingyue's muscles were tensed, she clenched her teeth, and she would rather die than let go, if she admitted it, she would be regarded as a thief, and she would never be able to raise her head in the future.

I don't know how many times I took it, the board suddenly stopped, the messenger who beat people took a step back, Xia Yejin walked over, took the board in the messenger's hand, weighed the weight on his hand, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and hit Song Lingyue hard.

Song Lingyue had a dull pain on her body, her legs were unconscious, her vision was blurred, and when she was in a daze, she heard a scream, and a person rushed over like crazy, pushed away Xia Yejian, and pushed away the people around her.

"Get out of here, get out of the way, don't bully Satsuki!"

Song Lingyue raised her head and saw the eldest lady rushing towards her in a panic, her hand gently touched her cheek, Song Lingyue tried to squeeze out a smile, her eyes were dark, and she fainted completely.

When Xia Yeqing received a call and rushed back, Song Lingyue had already been sent to the eldest lady's room, Chun Tao told him that Song Lingyue was beaten unconscious, and the eldest lady was crazy to protect her, and the old lady couldn't resist her, so she had to let people carry Song Lingyue to the warm pavilion.

The doctor came and checked Song Lingyue, and her muscles and bones were fine, but the trauma was serious, leaving a bunch of trauma medicines, and told the people who took care of her to change the dressing for her on time, so she left in a hurry.

When Xia Yeqing came to the room, the eldest lady was sitting on the edge of the bed, guarding Song Lingyue with an anxious face, and when she saw Xia Yeqing coming in, the eldest lady stood up, pointed at Song Lingyue, and said, "Xiaoyue, I was beaten, you, you see." ”

Xia Yeqing took her hand, helped her to sit down on the edge of the bed, and comforted her: "Mom, don't worry, the doctor said that she is fine, but she needs to recuperate for a while." ”

The eldest lady seemed to understand, let out a long sigh of relief, and nodded, "Okay, that's good." ”

Xia Yeqing felt incredible, her mother had always been confused, how could she be so concerned about Song Lingyue? As soon as she met her things, she seemed to be much more sober and understood what she was saying, which was really strange!

"Mom, do you have a good relationship with Satsuki?"

The eldest lady's expression became blank again, staring at Xia Yeqing, she didn't speak for a long time, Xia Yeqing shook her head helplessly, maybe he thought too much, his mother was just too lonely, Song Lingyue was good to her, she remembered it, so she would do everything possible to protect this only child.

The eldest lady saw that Xia Yeqing was in a daze, shook his arm, and muttered: "I told them that I gave that thing to Xiaoyue, but they didn't believe it, you tell them, don't let them beat Xiaoyue." ”

Xia Yeqing had already heard what had happened, saying that Song Lingyue had stolen something, but he didn't believe it, and if she had such a "ability", she wouldn't have to be beaten again and again.

"I know, I'll explain to my grandmother that I won't let them hit her."

The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xia Yeqing with wide eyes, and asked, "Can you protect her?" ”

Xia Yeqing hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I'll protect her." ”
