Flowing fire in July, clothing in September.

As the heat subsides, so does the chirping of the cicadas.

The emperor and queen drove back to the dynasty from Xiangyun Mountain, and Xiangyun Villa returned to its former coldness.

Today, Vanilla staggered into the house and delivered a creed.

Xu Chaodui opened it and saw that it was Fu Yanjing who asked her to meet at the Dongli Restaurant.

Now that it was still early before the appointed time, she left the vanilla and went to Changxing Houfu alone.

If you want to know about your mother's past, you must bring Aunt He.

A canopy carriage slowly stopped in front of the Changxing Marquis's Mansion, the tassel curtain was opened, revealing a pair of pink head-to-head shoes, and then the owner of the shoes got out of the car neatly.

Xu Chaodui is wearing a snow-colored soft satin thousand-water skirt today, and the red plums blooming in the cold on the clothes are lifelike. It is more lined with a girlish temperament and coldness.

She entered the mansion and went straight to Xu Chaoheng's residence.

When the maids on the road saw her, they all greeted her attentively.

As soon as I stepped into the small courtyard, I saw the familiar figure kneeling on the stone steps outside the house.

There are many more people in the perennially quiet courtyard today, and in addition to the owner, there are several mean-looking mothers-in-law guarding the side.

And Aunt He was wiping tears from her eyes.

"Ah Heng—"

Xu Chaodui walked quickly to the young man with the hem of her skirt, wanting to reach out and help him up.

"Wait." A mother-in-law spoke out to stop it.

Xu Chaodui looked up and saw that it was Mama Liu in the Yang family's courtyard.

These people are all old slaves who have served the Yang family for many years, so their status in front of the young maid is much higher, and their temper is much more arrogant.

Madame said, "You are not allowed to get up until you kneel for an hour." I also hope that the side concubine will not embarrass the old slaves. ”

Although the words were respectful, the slender eyes that were squeezed into a slit by the fat on the face were extremely sharp.

Isn't she just a side concubine, with her rotten virtues, maybe one day if she does something wrong, she will be abandoned and thrown away. Only the cowardly slaves are in a hurry!

And these old servants have the solid backing of their wives, so they will not be shy to please.

"An hour?" The girl glanced at her faintly, "How long is it left?" ”

"A quarter of an hour to go."

Xu Chaodui looked down at the thin sweat on the young man's forehead, helped him get up with both hands, took out a handkerchief to wipe away the fine sweat for him, and his tone turned warm: "Sister is here, don't be afraid." ”

Even though he was punished, the young man still had no joy on his face.

He shook his head slightly: "Sister, Ah Heng is fine." ”

Seeing this, Mama Liu rushed to the two of them, staring at the girl with cloudy and sharp eyes: "There is still a quarter of an hour left, please don't embarrass the old slave by the princess!" ”

The moment Xu Chaoheng took the handkerchief, Xu Chaowan caught a glimpse of his palms being red and swollen.

She raised the young man's hand and stared at Mama Liu coldly: "You hit?" ”

This sound like quenching ice made Mama Liu subconsciously hide the bamboo ruler in her hand behind her.

After being stunned for a moment, she reacted again, she was the person next to Mrs., and Mrs. told her to beat, what are you afraid of!

She left the bamboo ruler on the ground and nodded expressionlessly: "Madame instructed the old slave to punish the little son, and the old slave had to do it." ”

"Why do you want to punish my brother?"

"Because the younger son and the eldest son had a fight."

"My brother injured Xu Xiangyang?"

Mama Liu glanced at the girl in surprise and secretly sneered in her heart.

Isn't this girl stupid? With the sick appearance of the little boy, can he beat the eldest son?

"Not really."

"Then you still beat him and punish him?"

Seeing her asking so much, Mama Liu was a little impatient: "The little boy did it first, which is against the rules of the government." ”

"Then Xu Xiangyang was punished?"

Mama Liu laughed: "What did the princess say, if she didn't break the law, she would be put in prison?" Where does the truth come from. ”

"Not really." At this time, Aunt He, who had been guarding the young man's side, had a bitter face: "Mama, it's obvious that the eldest prince spoke first to insult people, how can you reverse black and white so much?" ”

Mama Liu glared at the cowardly woman and reprimanded, "How can you have the qualifications to speak?" ”

Xu Chaodui looked at the old lady lightly.

Her brother has always been sensible and forbearing. If it weren't for Xu Xiangyang to provoke him to the extreme, he would never have done anything with anyone.

"Stick out."

"What?" Mama Liu was at a loss for a moment.

The girl picked up the bamboo whip on the ground and spit out a word: "Hand." ”

Mama Liu was shocked and looked at her in disbelief: "What are you going to do!" ”

"Do what?" The girl's clear eyes were like lake water, and the coldness reached the bottom of her eyes, "What else do you say I can do." ”

Mama Liu took a few steps back silently, and unconsciously crossed her hands and rubbed: "This is not Linwangfu, if you dare to be presumptuous, Madam will not spare you!" ”

"That's her business."

"Ouch-"

When Mama Liu was still thinking about how to sue her to the Yang family, the bamboo whip of just the right length had already hit her on the arm.

In this mansion, even Madame has never beaten her, and this girl dares to beat her in front of so many people!

Seeing this scene, the other maids couldn't help but shudder.

It was too sudden, and they weren't ready.

Smack-

Smack-

As the sound of bamboo shoots roasting meat sounded, Mama Liu shouted: "Ouch, princess, you are so bold, aren't you afraid of the old slave telling Madame......"

Seeing that the girl had no intention of stopping, she had to ask for help: "You still haven't come up to help me!" ”

The other maids and women cowered and didn't dare to step forward, this bamboo whip is not long-eyed, what if they stepped forward and were beaten together?

No matter what, anyway, the dead friends don't die in the poor way, and it's not too late to help when it's done!

"Stop fighting...... Stop it...... It hurts......"

Seeing the angry appearance of the group of people, Mama Liu knew that she couldn't count on it, so she began to beg for mercy.

"How many times did you hit my brother?"

"Five, no, no, no, ten...... Ouch, twenty hits, really twenty hits! ”

"Okay." The girl counted the number of times, and after fifteen strokes, she threw the bamboo whip on the grandmother who was holding her hands and screaming in pain, and warned coldly: "Seeing your old bones, I won't ask you for the remaining five strokes." But you all remember for me, whoever dares to bully my brother again, wait for me! ”

Her younger brother is her dearest person in the world, and she must protect him to grow up safely.

This is also what my mother said to her when she was dying.

It's okay to bully her, it's okay to bully Ah Heng, no.

The woman's ugly cry made her feel irritated.

The girl frowned: "Don't go out yet?" ”

As soon as the words fell, several maids hurriedly carried Mama Liu's soles of her feet and ran away.

Inside the house, the girl sat on a round stool and applied medicine to the boy.

The cool ointment is evenly applied to the hands, suppressing the hot pain in the palms.

"Ah Heng, are there any other places that are injured?"

Xu Chaoheng shook his head and replied meekly: "No, Sister don't worry." ”

"How did Xu Xiangyang bully you?"

Xu Chaoheng squatted down in front of her, looked at her with swarthy eyes, and shook his head: "It's just that there was some quarrel, it's fine." ”

"Really?"

"Really."

The young man stared at his sister and did not regret fighting with Xu Xiangyang at all.

They are scolding themselves, and they can bear it; But if Sister A is involved, I can't bear it.

On that day, the young man still followed Sister A's instructions and went to the garden for a quarter of an hour. met Xu Xiangyang and his group of friends having fun.

In order to avoid trouble, the teenager has always taken a detour. Unexpectedly, Xu Xiangyang's friends saw him with sharp eyes, they stopped him, and discussed and judged him and Sister A in front of him.

In the midst of the gossip, I don't know who said: "I saw that your sister's cold appearance was not pleasant, and I never thought that I would enter the side room of the high gate, which is quite interesting." ”
