On the second day, Bai Jian and Qiao Zhi were woken up by a basin of cold water.

The water that came up from the mountain well was chilling to the bone, Bai Jian bounced up directly from the ground, and fell down heavily by the rope, scolding his mother regardless of the heroic demeanor. Feeling the pretty branches around him shiver, he said in a deep voice: "Little handyman, you dare to do this!" ”

The official at the head was not afraid of him, and when he heard Bai Jian's angry voice, he smiled and said, "Two things that are dying, are they still pretending to be uncles here?" Come on, take them to see the master! ”

A few stout slaves came in at the sound and pressed them to go out. Noticing Bai Jian's slight struggle, the servant spoke again: "Bai Gongzi has the ability to reach the heavens, a few of us can't suppress you, it's just this girl..." ”

It's a threat! Bai Jian gritted his teeth and stared viciously at the official servant at the head, but he did not continue to break free from the control of the miscellaneous servants, and was pressed all the way to Wang Ci's residence in silence.

"Childe! Miss Yu! ”

Qiaozhi was already a little cold last night, and in the morning she was watered with a basin of cold water, and she was a little confused, but she woke up for a while when she heard Xiuzhu's voice of surprise, raised her eyes and looked around, and found that although Qingyue and Qiuyue were full of fatigue, they didn't see the wound, so they breathed a sigh of relief at the moment, raised the corners of their mouths and smiled softly, signaling them not to worry.

"Say, what the hell happened yesterday?" Wang Ci wore an official uniform and showed the prestige of the county order, "This official has no grievances with you, why did you come to frame me?" ”

"What about Wang Jin'er?" Bai Jian didn't answer, only stared at the third lady viciously.

"Bring that wicked girl up." Wang Ci waved his hand and ordered, "When she comes, I'll see how you can quibble!" ”

"You..!" Qiaozhi was forced to kneel on the ground, and her knees were grinding and aching, so she was able to stay awake. "Tiger poison doesn't eat children! How can you do this to your own daughter! ”

Wang Jin'er was tied up by a thick iron chain, and she was led up. She didn't look down, and that's why she could see what had happened to her—the crisscrossing whip marks running down the bridge of her nose and into her thin collarbone. The clothes on his body were also soaked with blood, dried and adhered to his body.

Hearing Qiaozhi's accusation, Wang Ci raised his eyebrows noncommittally, but the third lady sneered sharply: "She asked for it!" She humiliated me last night, and I will definitely pay it back. If it weren't for the master's trial, I would have killed her a long time ago..."Halfway through speaking, the third lady consciously lost her words, glanced at the pretty branch fiercely, and closed her mouth and said no more.

"If it weren't for the fact that you pressed her step by step in the past, why would she have fought with you to the death!" Bai Jian spat on the ground and sneered, "Madam, do you dare to tell us everything you do to Jin'er on weekdays?" ”

"This...", noticing that everyone's eyes were focused on her, the third lady's eyes wandered, "I'm the head of the house, discipline a child, can't I still control it?" ”

"Your discipline is discipline with needles?" Qiaozhi finally couldn't help it, and said to Wang Ci, "Jin'er is also your biological daughter, even if you don't like her anymore, you shouldn't let her be bullied." Although it was an accident last night, the injuries she suffered were real! Not only did you not comfort you, you didn't fulfill your responsibilities as a father, but you actually let Jin'er get hurt again! ”

"I... I don't know. Wang Ci looked away with a weak heart, not looking at Qiaozhi, "Someone, what's the matter with the injury on the little lady's face!" ”

Qiaozhi sneered: "A good ignorant is not guilty." As long as Lord Wang Ci doesn't know, he can help the abuse, right? ”

Wang Ci didn't answer, his face was blushing, it was the first time he was ridiculed in front of so many people, and he was still a weak woman who mocked him, but he couldn't refute it. He could only vent his anger on the official who was lying on the ground shivering: "You scratched Miss's face last night?" ”

When the official heard Wang Ci's question, his slumped body shrank, looked up at the third lady, lowered his head again, and knocked desperately: "Go back... Back to the master, it was I who scratched the face of the young lady, because the young lady treats the old slave badly on weekdays, and I am resentful, so I just..."

"Lieber." Jin'er, who was kneeling on the side, spoke softly, "You have taken care of me since I was a child, and after my mother died, I will only be left with you." Even if it was yesterday... I never thought you'd hurt me. Her voice was not loud, and her tone was faint, as if she was recalling something, "You came to me yesterday and said that you wanted to scratch my face, so that you could win the sympathy of the master..."

"I agreed." Jin'er smiled, her smile touched the wound, a little terrifying, "But today, you said... It's me who treated you badly in the past... Well, it's your way of winning sympathy. ”

Li Bo knelt on the ground, trembled when he heard this, didn't say anything, just continued to kowtow and said, "I was wrong, master, please... Please punish Lao Er, don't affect Lao Er's family. I..."After speaking, Li Bo raised his head and quickly glanced at the third lady, and then lowered his head, "Please let my family go!" ”

Bai Jian noticed Li Bo's movements and said sharply: "You open your mouth to admit your mistake, why do you want to take a look at Madame!" Could it be you..."

Before Bai Jian's words were finished, Li Bo suddenly fell to the ground, and only after a while did he speak tremblingly: "Childe, don't... Bloody mouth... I scratched Miss's face because of my past grudge against her, and it has nothing to do with others, let alone the Third Lady..."

"Oh?" Bai Jian raised her eyebrows and said loudly, "Then you tell me what kind of grudge you have with her?" How did you force you to be so vicious and destroy a little girl who had not left the cabinet? Also, why do you mention the third lady again and again, and it has nothing to do with others? ”

"I..." Li Bo consciously lost his words, his face turned pale, he almost subconsciously glanced at the third lady, and quickly shifted his gaze: "Destroy is destroy, in short, I did it alone, it has nothing to do with anyone else!" ”

Bai Jian laughed angrily, "Why are you looking at the third lady again?" Do you still expect her to save you? ”

The third lady said angrily: "You spew blood!" How could I instruct others to harm Jin'er! I'm going to be arraigned the next day, can't I even wait a day? ”

"Oh?" Bai Jian smiled, "It turns out that the third lady really has the intention of harming her own children?" That's right, Jin'er is not your biological child, of course you have to deal with it soon. ”

"You!" The third lady gritted her teeth, "I have no grudge against you, why do you repeatedly get along with me?" ”

Before Bai Jian could answer, Uncle Li knelt down and walked up to Bai Jian and cried: "Please don't embarrass the old man anymore, I.. This matter really has nothing to do with the third lady, everything is my own idea, please son, spare the villain. ”

Bai Jian broke free from the suppression of the servants, grabbed Li Bo's collar and lifted him up: "The old man has repeatedly mentioned that it has nothing to do with others, but I'm afraid that there is really no silver three hundred taels here, right?" Fu looked at the third lady again, "I am Bai Jian, the son of the Bai family of Wulin, if the old man has any grievances, he can explain it to me." But if you wronged a good person..."

Bai Jian let go, and Li Bo slipped to his knees, his body trembling.

"The Bai family?" Wang Ci, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke, "Which Bai family?" ”

"On the rivers and lakes, which Bai family can there be?" Bai Jian smiled and spoke softly.

"Yes.. The Third Lady assigned me to do it! She said that if I didn't scratch Miss, she would take my wife's life! As if recognizing the situation, Li Bo suddenly grabbed Bai Jian's hem and cried, "Miss is very good to me, but I... I can't let my wife die... Please, Childe, help me! ”

"You..." The third lady's face froze, and she looked at Wang Ci in a panic, "Master, don't listen to this slut's nonsense!" I.. How could I hurt Jin'er? I.. I won't! ”

Li Bo took out a thin piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Bai Jian tremblingly: "This is a note set by the third lady and the villain, as long as I hurt the third lady for her, she will let me and the old woman go home, and is willing to give us a severance pay... Bai Gongzi, I did this completely because I was completely confused, please make the decision for me! ”

Bai Jian took the piece of paper and found that it not only stated that Li Bo was going to scratch Wang Jin'er's face, but also wrote the silver taels promised to them after the deed, as well as the handprints of the two of them. He shook the piece of paper to Wang Ci with internal force, and said: "The human and material evidence are all there, what else do you have to quibble?" ”

"I... I..."The third lady wanted to snatch the paper from Wang Ci's hand, but Wang Ci pushed her to the ground.

"You poisonous woman!" After reading the content on the paper, Wang Ci was furious and kicked the third lady's heart, "I usually thought you were virtuous and virtuous, but I didn't expect you to be unexpected!" You say, why did Jin'er go down the mountain, is it because you want to harm him! Taoist temple walking, is it also done by you! ”

Wang Ci was furious at this time, but it was not all because Jin'er was disfigured. In the past, he didn't pay attention to the children left behind by his deceased wife. His expectation for Jin'er is only to win him a good in-law and make him more stable in his official career.

What really makes him angry is that the ugliness of his family should not be publicized. Whether it is Jin'er being disfigured, or the children left behind by his wife's mutilation... These are family ugliness! However, today's trouble, not to mention his full house, even the stinky Taoist priest in the Taoist temple and the son of the Bai family have seen it!

It is conceivable that after today, the ugliness of his family will be fermented tenfold and hundredfold, and in a few days, I am afraid that the entire Yanling will know the secrets of the county order! And he will become the laughing stock of the city!

Thinking of this, Wang Ci began to hesitate and began to think about how to whitewash the peace. Can... That Bai Jian Gongzi is a troublesome character again...

Wang Jin'er kept her head up, staring at this farce expressionlessly, as if everything had nothing to do with her.

Before Wang Ci could come up with a foolproof plan, Li Bo suddenly knelt down tremblingly and kowtowed to the third lady and Wang Ci: "Old man... I know the sin I have sins... I.. I would like to ask the lord to give me a chance to atone for my sins. After speaking, he looked at the third lady apologetically, "Madam, I'm sorry... I know you're definitely not going to keep me, I... I'm here to protect myself! ”

After speaking, he lowered his head at Wang Ci and said, "Master, I'm sorry... Little Master... Not your own child! Be.. It's the child of the third lady and the benefactor..."Maybe because of embarrassment, the second half of the sentence is not loud, but it is enough for everyone to hear clearly.

Wang Lone... Not a child of the king? Bai Jian and Qiaozhi glanced at each other, Qiaozhi smacked his tongue, this Wang Ci has a prairie on his head, there is really a grassland?

That's bloody...
