7 Wanyue
7 At the request of Xiao Nan's half-command, Wanyue opened her heart to a stranger for the first time. She spoke of how her father was an upright businessman, how her mother who died young, how gentle and beautiful she was, and even for her abusive aunts and uncles, she was only grateful, saying that without them, her father's family business might have been gone long ago.
She was already in tears when she said it, and under her seemingly calm surface, she actually accumulated too many emotions to vent.
"Wanyue, from today onwards, no one will bully you anymore. No one will force you to do what you don't want to do, I just want you to be yourself and let you lift your head and look at the wider sky. Xiao Nan put her hand on her shoulder, "In this world, there are not only the three obedience and four virtues you learned from the NΓΌjing. β
"Young Master......?" Wanyue raised her head, puzzled but shocked.
"I promise you." Xiao Nan wiped her tears, "You will get all kinds of fun and happiness in life." β
Wanyue's cheeks quickly turned crimson, and she stared blankly at this handsome and elegant young man, and for the first time in her life, she had a feeling in her heart that she couldn't understand.
It's just one sentence.
"I'll tell you what kind of person I am." Xiao Nan said, "I am the thirteenth young master of the Xiao family, my father is a cruel and ruthless person, and my mother died very early. When I was a child, I lost a leg in an accident. You'll soon find out that people don't think well of me and say I'm a drunken dreamer, but you have to believe what you see. β
"I believe thirteen less." She said firmly, "I am a thirteen-year-old woman, and I believe in you." β
Xiao Nan smiled slightly, and was about to say something, but there was a commotion on the street downstairs, and the sound of hurried horses' hooves kept coming.
After a while, a servant was panting and banging on the door and shouting, "Thirteen less! Oh no!! The eldest man suddenly went home! Tell all the young masters to hurry back to the old mansion and gather! β
"I'll go." Xiao Nan answered. This big man is really weird, isn't it just going home, as for tossing people like this, it seems that the emperor is returning to the court to worship.
Sure enough, the servants of the Xiao family quickly got busy packing up their things, and the seventh young master didn't even care about his subordinates, so he trotted over and beckoned him to take the carriage.
Xiao Nan also called Wanyue by the way.
"You're such an amorous seed, you don't forget to take women with you wherever you go." The seventh young master complained, but it was too late, so he urged the coachman to catch the car immediately.
When the carriage arrived at the Xiao Mansion, they still only took the side door. Wan Yue was taken to his courtyard by a servant, while another servant picked up Xiao Nan and ran towards the main hall.
The main hall was quite far away, and the people in the whole house were very nervous, and servants and maids could be seen running forward everywhere. Xiao Nan was also able to really feel the structure of part of this mansion for the first time - this mansion is more than enough to say that it is a palace, fortunately it is the Republic of China period, placed in the Qing Dynasty, building such a large and luxurious mansion is arrogance, it is a capital crime!
This one is too good to put on the score.
The main hall of the Xiao family is very large, more than enough to accommodate hundreds of people, it is still an ancient traditional layout, the roof is very high, but it makes people feel inexplicably depressed, and the red lanterns in the hall are all turned on, but it is even more miserable.
All the young masters are trembling on both sides of the hall, the wall at the back of the main hall hangs a large statue of the Yellow Emperor, I don't know what hobbies this old man has, under the portrait is a luxurious offering table, and the main seat of the big lord.
Xiao Nan stood at the back of the young masters on crutches, in addition to the young masters, there were also some elders in the clan, and there were quite a lot of people in the family, and everyone's faces could be solemn.
Xiao Nan asked the Seventh Young Master beside him in a low voice, "Seventh Brother, what's wrong?" β
The seventh young master wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and said, "I don't know what's wrong, I just heard that the third young master broke the rules." β
At this time, the family members outside the door shouted one after another: "The master has arrived!" The big man has arrived! β
So no one in the hall dared to whisper anymore, and they all stopped.
After about ten minutes, I saw a man in a luxurious black fox fur hug in front of the servant and walked in step by step.
The man had a stern countenance, walked with a windy demeanor, looked not a good kind, and had a very bad temper, and the aura that emanated from his whole body made people tremble, and he wore a hat inlaid with precious stones, and was about forty or fifty years old, and as soon as he entered, everyone bowed down.
Even Xiao Nan, who was missing a leg, had to kneel down with the support of the Seventh Young Master.
Everyone shouted, "Welcome back to the house!" Great lord Jin An Wanfu! β
This posture is really the presence of the emperor in person, and it is full of momentum.
And Xiao Nan only felt that this old man was psychopathic, how much of an extremely confident and arrogant man would formulate this kind of etiquette, even in the feudal era, big families would not dare to do this. This is completely in the posture of rebelling and becoming an emperor.
The eldest lord walked through the crowd with his head held high and sat on his gold-studded chair, which was authority, and anyone who dared to sit on it without permission was a capital offense.
I saw him stretch out his hand, which was wearing several gemstone rings, and motioned for everyone to get up. He didn't say a word, just knocked on the armrest of the chair with his fingers, and the butler with his hands hanging down on the side stood up and announced: "The lord summoned everyone tonight, just to correct the family rules, the lord said, I haven't punished the people in the house for so many years, and the people in the house are afraid that they are all lax. β
After that, his voice changed: "Third Young Master Xiao Yu, taking advantage of the fact that the eldest master is not at home, he violated the family rules and dealt with it according to the family rules, and everyone present is a witness." β
After saying that, he clapped his palms, and saw a person carried over by a family member outside the door, and that person was the third young master! He was stripped of his shirt and tied to a wooden shelf, with a cloth stuffed in his mouth, and struggled there, whining constantly.
The eldest master opened his mouth at this time, and his slow voice revealed an inexplicable cruelty: "Third brother, I handed over this house to you to take care of for a few days, it is a trust in you, and you actually eat inside and out." Housekeeper, what is written in the family law? What to do with him? β
He speaks slowly, but every word is terrifying.
The housekeeper wiped the cold sweat with his sleeve, and his voice trembled a little: "According to the ...... Family Law ...... While...... Limbs are cut off...... Gouging out the eyes, pulling out the tongue ......"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they all trembled.
The eldest master made a color, and the housekeeper asked someone to pull out the cloth from the third young master's mouth, and the third young master howled: "Dad!" You can't do this to me!! I'm your own son!! β
"I have long said that in the face of family law, there is no favoritism." The old man picked up the ginseng tea on the table next to him and tasted it. Looking at his calm appearance, he didn't feel that it was his own son who was about to be executed.
"Daddy! You can't do this to me! Why are you so ruthless! The third young master pleaded but failed, and suddenly became angry, "You really don't care about the relationship between father and son!" I've been making cows and horses for you for so many years! You're not human! You're a demon! Don't think I don't know what you've hidden in your back garden......"
As soon as he said this, the housekeeper hurriedly made a gesture, and the group of people immediately blocked the mouth of the third young master again, preventing him from continuing to speak.
"Cut out his extra tongue for me first." The eldest lord raised his eyes and said unhurriedly, "If anyone is like him in the future, I guarantee that you will be ten times worse than him." β
Back garden! Sure enough, it's a taboo in this family!
What the hell is inside!!
Xiao Nan gritted his teeth.
Obviously, the third young master took advantage of the eldest master's absence and wanted to peek at the things in the back garden privately, but the matter was revealed. No wonder he came a few days ago to ask himself what he saw in the back garden.
That night, Xiao Nan felt that he had been subjected to great mental torture, and it turned out that watching the torture itself was also a kind of torture for the onlookers.
The screams of the third young master resounded through half of the Xiao family's mansion, some of the old people in the clan couldn't stand it and passed out on the spot, and some people were so frightened that they peed their pants.
Blood not only flowed everywhere on the floor, but even splashed onto the faces of onlookers, on their clothes. All this indicates that this is a hell on earth.
Just one sentence rashly decided the life and death of a person, and it was the most terrifying way for people to be slowly tortured to death.
The third young master finally died on the way to torture, he liked to torture women so much, he probably didn't expect that he would also be tortured to death.
From this level, Xiao Nan felt that his death was not unjust at all.
However, this is not the end, the third young master planned to enter the back garden and there were accomplices, it turned out that the eldest master sent several guards with good martial arts to guard the back garden, but the third young master gathered people to kill those guards. His accomplices were no better, and they were directly given to death by the eldest master.
It's still according to the so-called horror house rules.
This punishment lasted until dawn. The huge hall was full of blood.
Until the last accomplice was executed, the eldest lord yawned and asked, "It's all settled?" Is there any remnant? β
The housekeeper replied in a cold sweat: "I heard that the third young master ...... I've also looked for the Thirteenth Young Master......"
When Xiao Nan heard this, he suddenly felt like he had been struck by lightning!
And the Seventh Young Master's face also changed!
The people around him walked away one after another, exposing Xiao Nan to everyone's eyes.
Is it going to be killed by that dead ghost third young master like this?!
Xiao Nan gritted his teeth, forced himself to calm down, and then stood up on crutches.
He knelt down on one leg with difficulty and said, "Third brother...... Did you find me...... But he just said something inconsequential, I didn't know anything, I didn't know what he meant, he was not happy, and he left. β
He deliberately hid the words back garden, because this must be a taboo for the Xiao family.
The deathly silence began to ferment, he didn't raise his head, and he knew that the eldest master was looking at him at this time.
Xiao Nan is a modern person who has been baptized by science, and he has seen a lot of terrible dead corpses when he participated in the archaeological site, so he was not very afraid of Fang Cai's scene, and he knelt there and seemed very calm.
