Chapter 210: Punishment of the Heart
"What are you doing!"
Seeing that Li Zhien knocked off the young lady's bowl, Pearl quickly put down her bowl and walked over to block Wei Yingluo. No matter how delicious this mutton is, it is not as important as Miss in Pearl's heart.
"Who are you? Why bullying us. ”
"Huh! Who am I? Li Zhien glared and said, "You are in my house, and you dare to ask who I am?" ”
"You're lying!" Pearl said angrily, "We just met Mrs. Hou. ”
Li Zhien was a little embarrassed, when she just came over, she wanted to taunt Wei Yingluo, forgetting that she was just a concubine. But after thinking about it, what's wrong with the concubine, it's also Li Mu's woman. In this house, isn't it also a role to say?
"I'm ...... I'm the concubine of the Marquis of Zhulu! The master has only one concubine, me! ”
"Master? Concubine? Pearl understood, and said in a mocking tone: "What kind of character should I be, it turned out to be a concubine?" Call the master? Could it be that he was born as a slave? ”
"You!" Li Zhien gritted his teeth, and was about to get angry, when his eyes rolled, and suddenly he smiled like a flower, and said, "Yes, I was born as a slave." The owner fell in love with me in the West Market and bought me for fifty yuan. Spoil me, love me, let me take care of the affairs of the family, and the money from me every month is not 50,000 or 30,000, and you trust me so much, I am willing to be his concubine, willing to be his slave, what's wrong? ”
Saying that, Li Zhien glanced at Wei Yingluo and sneered: "It's better than some people, the master and servant come to eat together, no shame!" ”
Pearl stiffened his neck and argued: "We were sent here by His Majesty, why are we just eating rice!" ”
"Yo, you don't know?"
The corners of Li Zhien's mouth hooked a sneer, and said, "You don't know, your young lady should know." If I were your young lady, I would love to die. How can you still hold this bowl of rice with the face! I'll tell you, little girl. Your master, falsely accusing my master of abducting your young lady, and uniting a group of imperial historians to falsely accuse my master, is really despicable! My master was already sick, and he was infected with the wind and cold, and his body was even weaker, and he was so angry with your master and his lackeys that he vomited blood! Such a big formation, guess what? It's all false accusations! ”
"It's really amazing, your master almost killed my master, but he sent his daughter to the door, you want to take advantage of it, don't you? Miss Wei, if you are still a little cheeky, don't eat my family's food, because you don't deserve it! ”
Pearl was stunned, looked back at her young lady, and said, "Miss, is what she said true?" ”
Wei Yingluo didn't speak, and nodded for a long time.
Pearl has nothing to say now, if all this is true, then this bowl of rice is indeed faceless to eat. But she grew up in the Wei Mansion since she was a child, and Wei Zheng was definitely not such a person in her heart, so she couldn't accept it, and said while crying: "I don't think the master will ......."
"What do you think? Hum! What do you know little girl? Your master, he is still shameless, he can't fight my master, and he has been holding back to hurt him! If I'm not mistaken, he must be very angry if the false accusation doesn't work out this time, right? It must be yes, just look at the appearance of your young lady. Otherwise, your master and servant would not be here! ”
"Do you still want Your Majesty to send you as a guest? Your Majesty's meaning, I'll tell you! Your Majesty sent you here to vent my anger at my master. Little girl, you still say I'm a slave. Now your young lady is the slave of my master, and she is the same as me...... Oh, I almost forgot, it's different. I am the master's only concubine, I have to be spoiled, and I am in charge of the whole family. How can your young lady compare with me, when she comes to this house, she is a maid at most. ”
Speaking of this, Li Zhien suddenly changed his tone and seduced: "Little girl, this is a good thing for you." Your young lady has become a maid, and you don't have to serve her anymore. How can a maid have a maid? In the future, you will both be the same, I will take care of this house, you stammer with me, say something nice, I may take care of you, if you provoke me, you will be punished for cleaning the toilet tomorrow! ”
Pearl knew that she was wrong, but Li Zhien's words were too ugly, and she said angrily: "I won't slap you, Miss will always be my Miss, I am happy to serve her!" ”
"Oh, that's faithful." Li Zhien smiled, looking indifferent, her purpose has been achieved, she doesn't care what Pearl says, what she cares about is Wei Yingluo's attitude.
"Miss Wei, what's the matter, still holding a pair of young lady's shelves?"
Pearl looked at Wei Yingluo worriedly, and said, "Miss, let's not meet her like her......"
Wei Yingluo shook her head, and finally spoke: "Pearl, she is right. Daddy did falsely accuse Hou Ye, and, because of this incident, Dad no longer recognizes me as a daughter. I've bothered you, and we're both homeless. I was so confused just now that I didn't have time to tell you, and now you know about it. The eunuch who sent us over has already told me that His Majesty gave us to the Hou Ye, as slaves and maids, all according to the Hou Ye's wishes, saying that they are maids, and there is no difference. She's right, I'm no longer your young lady, both of us are the same as the descendants of this Zhuluhou Mansion. ”
"It's different, it's different!" Pearl hurriedly argued: "Miss, it's different! Even if His Majesty gave us to Master Hou, you ...... Nor can it be a subordinate. ”
"Okay!" Li Zhien said angrily: "What is it that is not a subordinate? Is it a concubine? Do you still want to be a lady? The master only has one concubine and only one lady, don't even think about it! This young lady of your family is the daughter of the enemy of my master, and the daughter of the enemy dares to be delusional, you are crazy! ”
Wei Yingluo lowered her head, pursed her lips tightly, and after a while, she raised her head and said, "This 'concubine', our two sisters, what is the identity of this Zhuluhou Mansion." It's not up to you to decide, this meal was given to us by our lady, and it has nothing to do with you! If you have the ability, please ask the lady to come and take this meal back, otherwise, please go out, we will eat. ”
"What a temper!" With a smile, Li Zhien watched Wei Yingluo bend over, pick up the rice on the ground and put it back in the bowl. If there is dust, she doesn't throw it away, and stuffs it into her mouth like a rage.
"Miss Wei really deserves to be Wei Zheng's daughter, it's really hard to fool."
"That's right, I don't have the power to control the meal that Madame rewards, and the identities of the two of you are not something that I can determine as a concubine. But don't forget, in this house, except for the master and wife, I have the final say in everything. There are still long days to come, so let's see. ”
After Li Zhien finished speaking, he turned around and went out. She said that she would get chicken legs for Li Mu, and she couldn't delay for too long.
The door slammed shut.
Wei Yingluo swallowed the food in her mouth, lay on the table and cried. Pearl was so angry that she shouted, "What! Miss, look at her appearance, showing off her might, and thinking of herself as a lady! ”
Wei Yingluo continued to cry as if she hadn't heard it.
"Miss, it's okay, even if we can't go home. Pearl will also accompany you, I believe that Hou Ye is not a person without energy, he will not be difficult for us. ”
"Pearl, I regret it, I shouldn't have run away from home."
"Alas," Pearl sighed and gently patted Wei Yingluo's back: "It's okay, it's okay......"
Li Mu's situation affects the hearts of many people. They have to care because it's about their possessions, even their lives.
Lu Zhilin returned home and locked himself in the study, his face like ashes.
He knew he had done something very wrong this time. Not only did he not make a name for himself, but he folded himself into it. Wei Zheng, who was also involved, was involved in the Shandong scholars, and his colleagues in the imperial history.
Outside the door, he was surrounded by the soldiers brought by Cheng Yanjin. The lives of more than a dozen people in this house are tied to Li Mu. Li Muruo died, and those soldiers rushed in......
Fortunately, his son is in Fanyang's hometown, maybe he can escape? The news can't get out yet, maybe this catastrophe still can't be escaped, this is ...... How to be good!
Lu Zhilin wept silently, bitter in his heart. He also regretted that if he hadn't had a hot head and wrote that note, maybe there wouldn't have been so many things. Speaking of which, he and Li Mu have no grudges, for the sake of other people's affairs, why bother?
If he dies, who will take care of his mother and son, as well as his wife? Do you expect Fan Yang Lu's long house?
"Heh," Lu Zhilin smiled bitterly, he didn't believe that Changfang would take care of it.
"Sir! Master!! ”
Suddenly, the housekeeper's shout came, and Lu Zhilin sighed in his heart, could it be that Li Mu died? The soldiers broke in? When death came, Lu Zhilin couldn't control himself, and tears flowed profusely.
I don't want to die!
He wanted to run, but his legs and stomach were twisted and he couldn't move.
The butler ran in and shouted, "Master! The soldiers are gone! ”
"What?!" Lu Zhilin seemed to be re-energized, jumped up suddenly, grabbed the old butler's arm, stared into his eyes and asked, "What did you say?" Withdrawn? Really withdrawn? Li Mu is not dead! Hahaha! That's great! Li Mu is not dead!! ”
Li Mu didn't die, Lu Zhilin was ecstatic! The butler looked at him stunned, wondering in his heart. He clearly remembered that a few days ago, he once passed by the master's study, and heard "I will put Li Mu to death this time", why did he change his mind after only a few days?
When Lu Zhilin returned home, he did not say what happened today. Anyway, whether you say it or not, if Li Mu dies, no one in this house will survive, so why make them panic?
But with so many soldiers, it's impossible not to panic. The maid whispered, but no one dared to ask. Now that the crisis has been lifted, everyone is relieved.
Suddenly! The smile on Lu Zhilin's face froze. He remembered what Li Mu had said above the main hall.
Li Mu said that he would fill the house with dung.
If he died, there was no need to worry, but now that he is not dead, then ...... Lu Zhilin's stomach churned, as if he smelled again.
"No! I'm resigning! I need to get out of here! ”
