Chapter 22: Sin Deserves
Mama Li was escorted out by the Jiang family's people with her shoulders like that, her legs couldn't help herself to go out, and she frequently turned around and shouted: "Big young master!" Gentleman! ”
Shao Ziqing stood in the door, looking at it with his eyes in, watching Mama Li being escorted out of the courtyard, although the person was gone, the sound of the cry was still there, through the courtyard wall, into Shao Ziqing's ears.
Shao Ziqing couldn't bear it anymore, and ran after him.
The room where the quarrels continued fell silent, and only Jiang Zuiyao, Feng Shi and Shao Heng were left.
It was Feng Shi who spoke first: "Young lady don't worry. ”
Jiang Zuiyao glanced at Feng Shi and asked, "What are you worried about?" ”
Feng replied: "Today, you are making such a fuss, Mama Li will not say that she is going back to the East Courtyard, it will be difficult to step into the door of the Shao family in the future." ”
Jiang Zuiyao didn't rush to reply, looking at Feng's gloating and satisfying face, she was silent.
"Mother, I'm afraid." , Shao Heng sat on the soft couch, how could he stand today's meeting at a young age, and he was still a little scared.
Feng Shi walked over, hugged Shao Heng in his arms, and comforted: "Heng'er is not afraid, my mother is here." ”
Jiang Zuiyao's eyes fell on Feng's body, guessing what Feng's intentions were in fanning the flames today?
After feeding Shao Heng the pills, the child fell asleep in Feng's arms, and when he fell asleep, Feng left.
The room was completely silent, and the servants came in with dinner, only to realize that it was dusk.
After tossing for most of the day, Jiang Zuiyao was also tired, and while eating, she asked her subordinates to prepare hot water for bathing, and she wanted to relieve her fatigue.
When he was about to finish eating, he watched Linghui trot over from outside the courtyard, and knelt down for Jiang Zuiyao when he stepped on the threshold: "Young lady, please slave, save Mama Li!" ”
Such a move startled Jiang Zuiyao, you must know that Linghui has never knelt down for her.
Speaking of Mama Li, Jiang Zuiyao looked unhappy, and didn't want to pay attention to Linghui at all, so Linghui kowtowed again and again: "Young lady, the slave begs you!" ”
Linghui knelt in front of Jiang Zuiyao, with a pleading and humility that she had never had before, her forehead knocked the ground again and again, and said in pieces: "Young lady, be merciful, Mama Li is about to be killed, if you are willing to save Mama Li, the slave and maid will be willing to serve you as a cow and a horse in the future, and I will not dare to be disrespectful to you again." ”
Jiang Zuiyao immediately became suspicious: "Mama Li is going to be beaten to death?" Didn't I just let people drive her away? ”
Linghui raised her head, her forehead was red, and she said anxiously: "When Mama Li was sent out, the eldest young master refused to live or die, so he made a fuss at the gate of the mansion, and happened to be seen by the master who returned to the house. ”
I really don't know whether to say that God has eyes, or whether to say that Mama Li is unlucky, how did she happen to let the master see it?
Jiang Zuiyao put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked, "Where is Mama Li now?" ”
Linghui cried and replied: "I was punished in the front hall, the eldest young master is also here, the old man is angry, and Mama Li is about to die." ”
Jiang Zuiyao looked at Linghui who was pleading, and after all, she felt pity, got up and walked out of the courtyard.
When I arrived at the front hall, I heard Mama Li's screams as soon as I arrived at the door: "Stop fighting!" Master! Please, stop fighting! ”
Jiang Zuiyao listened to Mama Li's shouting very energetically, where is it almost dead.
I thought it was Linghui's bluff, but when she walked to the door and looked, she was slightly startled.
I saw that Mama Li had been beaten and vomited blood, there was a blood mark left at the corner of her mouth, and she was lying on the ground with bruises, Shao Ziqing protected Mama Li with her body, and the subordinates on both sides held sticks as thick as their arms and hit Shao Ziqing's body hard.
!!
Shao Ziqing actually used his body to resist in order to protect Mama Li!
Jiang Shi's face was already pale on the side, and he pleaded with Shaojiang and said: "Official, I beg you, stop it, this will kill Ziqing!" ”
Shaojiang said mercilessly: "If he is willing to die for Mama Li, let him die!" If such a son of iniquity is not punished, what shall he be kept? ”
Jiang Zuiyao stepped over the threshold and walked in at this time, and said, "Father, don't fight." ”
When everyone saw Jiang Zuiyao coming in, they were all a little surprised, and the servant also stopped.
Jiang Zuiyao fixed her eyes and saw that Mama Li's legs had been broken, and the ground was covered with blood, and Shao Ziqing's face was distorted when she knelt on the ground, and she was panting.
Shaojiang was in full swing, and asked solemnly, "Why are you here?" ”
Jiang Zuiyao stepped forward and said, "I have ordered Mama Li to be driven out of the house, and my father will spare Mama Li's life." ”
Shaojiang snorted coldly: "Hmph! She is greedy for so much silver, how can she get out of it, this dog slave is so bold! It's not an exaggeration to kill her! ”
Jiang Zuiyao glanced at Mama Li's bloody legs, and said: "Now that Mama Li is beaten half to death, it can be regarded as a punishment, and my father will save her life for the sake of Mama Li's loyal service to the eldest young master for so many years." ”
Shaojiang, as the lord of the family, is not as good as the Jiang family to speak, and said coldly: "Mama Li, this old woman, only dared to be so unscrupulous because of her meritorious service to Ziqing!" What has my Shao family treated her harshly in the past 20 years? She's not satisfied! ”
Mama Li, who was disabled, was very pitiful at the moment, lying on the ground and said miserably to Shaojiang: "Master, everything is the slave's fault, the slave knows that she is guilty, you want to kill the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid have no complaints, but please don't beat the eldest young master, this matter has nothing to do with the eldest young master!" ”
Shaojiang said angrily: "Since he knows that you have embezzled money, but he still hides this matter for you, how can he be innocent?" Is there still a house rule in his eyes? I think he's a lard! If he wants to be punished for you, let him suffer, and he will do it himself! ”
Jiang Zuiyao saw that Shaojiang would not give up easily, and his persuasion did not work, so after thinking about it, he said: "Father, Mama Li embezzled too much money, and her crime is indeed unforgivable, you are right, even if she is killed, it is not an exaggeration, everyone will say that Mama Li deserves it and deserves to be killed." It's just that Mama Li serves the eldest young master loyally and takes care of the eldest young master, which is also well known, if her father kills Mama Li like this, which person will serve her master wholeheartedly in the future? ”
Shao Jiang glared angrily and said angrily: "If she serves loyally, the Shao family will definitely not treat her badly, but she has a greedy and evil heart, and she has swallowed so much silver from the Shao family over the years?" Is she a subordinate to do it? ”
"What my father said is very true, but isn't it love between people? You broke Mama Li's leg today, which is enough to deter the people in the mansion, and Mama Li has also received the punishment she deserves, how can it be a life, why do you have to kill it? ”
Jiang Zuiyao tried her best to persuade her, and Jiang was worried about Shao Ziqing's safety, so she echoed and said: "Zuiyao is right, we don't need Mama Li in the future, and for the sake of her loyalty to Ziqing, the officials should stop, don't fight anymore." ”
