Zichu and Jun Yuchen glanced at each other, their hearts sank slightly, knowing that there was no way to avoid it, so they simply grabbed a handful of broken silver from the box on the side, thinking that bribing these people for a while would always be more convenient.

But what I didn't expect was that almost all of these mothers-in-law were expressionless, not only did they not accept her money, but they all looked at her condescendingly with a smile rather than a smile.

With that look, it was as if Zichu in front of him was not the eldest lady in this mansion at all, but just a poor person who was not even as good as their slaves.

Jun Yuchen's hands clenched quietly in his sleeves again, and he swore that if anyone dared to hurt Zichu for a while, he would ...... He won't let them go!

Zichu also expected that it would be absolutely difficult to pass through the door as easily as last time. But she didn't expect that as soon as she entered the door, she heard the old lady shout full of anger and anger: "Evil obstacles! Get down on my knees yet! ”

As she spoke, the two mothers-in-law beside her pressed her down one left and one right. With a bang, a sharp pain suddenly came from the knee kneeling on the cold bluestone brick floor.

Zichu raised his head, looked at the old lady without fear, and asked, "Grandmother, may I ask what Zichu did wrong?" Do you want to punish Zichu so much? ”

"You still have the face to ask? Sure enough, there is a mother and a daughter, your mother gave me bird's nest at the beginning, but it turned out to be poisoned in the bird's nest, which almost killed me. Now, you've learned your mother's trick, and you dare to give your stepmother something like this? ”

Zichu's eyes widened in shock, looking at the bird's nest that the woman sent to him...... Wrong! This is not the one he sent, Zhu Xiaoyan actually changed the bird's nest he gave to frame himself!

"No, grandmother, these bird's nests are not the ones I gave to Madame, you misunderstood ......".

"Humph! Misunderstand? How many people's eyes in this house have seen that you brought these things into Chunhua Courtyard today! I still remember the events of that year, the bird's nest sent by your mother that day, but I personally watched her open it. Now, you dare to tell me that you have misunderstood? ”

As she spoke, the old lady's chest rose and fell even more violently, and when she turned her head, she ordered, "Come!" Let's take the family method! This girl is just as bad as her mother, and my old woman wants to discipline her for her ancestors and ancestors today! ”

Looking at a few stout mothers-in-law walking towards him with high spirits, the thorns in his hands were simply scared to death, Zichu couldn't care about anything at this time, he shouted, just broke free from the hands of a mother-in-law, Jun Yuchen on the side saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately pulled her and said, "Go!" ”

The two kicked down a few mothers-in-law along the way, and circled around a few times in the courtyard of Mu'en Hall, and just as they were about to walk out of the door, they heard a sound of neat footsteps outside, and then a broken shout: "Don't move!" Don't blame the knife in my hand for not having eyes! ”

Those people walked in with two people, and after Zichu saw it clearly, he hung his head helplessly.

Mulberry and cinnamon were tied with their backhands, and when they saw Zichu, they only cried and said, "Miss, don't worry about the slaves, go away!" ”

Zi Chu smiled at them pretending to be relaxed, but his heart settled down inexplicably. Since she can't hide, let her face it calmly!

"Hmph, you girl, the last time you pretended to be a ghost to scare my old woman, I suspected that you were not right. This time, I caught you again, you dared to do something in your stepmother's bird's nest, and if you don't teach you a lesson, won't you be lawless in the future? Come on, give me a hard beating! No mercy is allowed! ”

Seeing that Zichu was caught and pressed down on the Changchun rattan chair, and endured the whipping of the slender and thorny thorns without saying a word, Jun Yuchen felt a burst of anger in his heart, he pushed away the two mothers-in-law who were restraining him, and said loudly: "She didn't do anything wrong? Why did you hit her? ”

"Where's the wild girl? Come on, call me along! ”

Jun Yuchen thought that he couldn't bear it and just started fighting, but when he saw Zichu turn around, he threw himself with a grateful and silent smile. He couldn't help but pause, she actually persuaded herself not to do anything for her, why? This girl, why did she endure such torture in vain?

So both of them were finally pressed down, and when the two thorns were broken, and both of them were drenched in blood, the old lady said majestically: "Okay, let's get here first today." Come on, send them to the ancestral hall to repent! Also, send people to keep an eye on them, and they are not allowed to bring food or water. If you dare to come nonsense in the future, I will definitely not spare it! ”

After being imprisoned in the dark ancestral hall, Jun Yuchen groped his way to Zichu's side and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Zichu lay sideways in the dark, smiled at him reluctantly, and said, "It's nothing, it's just a little skin injury." Don't worry, I can't die. ”

Jun Yuchen was silent for a moment and asked, "Why don't you escape with me?" ”

Zichu replied with some astringency in his throat: "Because I can't leave the mulberry and cinnamon alone, besides, I still have something to do here......."

"What's the matter? So important that you can even endure such torture? ”

"Now, I won't hide it from you. I don't think my mother's death is so simple, I want to stay here to find out the cause of her death and give her justice. Then I can leave. ”

Jun Yuchen was not very surprised to hear these words, he was born in the palace since he was a child, so he naturally knew how bloody the battle in the backyard was. So he asked, "Then what about your marriage with Sheng Fu?" What are you going to do about it? ”

Zichu didn't look at him either, and said calmly: "My marriage with Sheng Fu was originally going to be withdrawn, but now, I just forced Zhu Xiaoyan to say what I wanted by not giving in." But today, I have caused you to be tired, what is the matter, are you hurt badly? ”

Thinking of the beatings that Jun Yuchen had taken for himself several times before, Zichu was also moved in his heart. This sudden incident made the trust between the two people increase a lot at once. So, when he reached out and hugged himself into his arms, Zichu did not refuse.

After late at night, the subordinates guarding the ancestral hall also went back to rest. Hearing a slight sound outside, looking at Zichu, who was sleeping with her eyes closed in her arms, Jun Yuchen shook her head, gently put her body on top of a futon, and then walked out quietly.

The moonlight was like a wash, and under the shadow of the trees, Jun Yuchen stood up to the two attendants kneeling in front of him and ordered: "You quickly go find something hot to eat and bring it in, and also, find some golden medicine to heal the wounds, and deal with the guards outside, don't alarm anyone, let alone let anyone find your traces." ”

"Yes, my lord. Rajah...... Do you really want to stay in Song Mansion during this time? ”

Looking at the strange expressions on the faces of the two attendants, Jun Yuchen didn't have to think about it to know that his appearance as a man and a woman must be both funny and pretty. It's also fortunate that he was actually fooled by him in Mu'en Hall today, otherwise, it would be even worse if his true identity was discovered by those wolf-like women.

Now that he thinks about it, he is also a little afraid, but at that time, seeing her being beaten, he couldn't think about his own situation, so he could only make a solemn gesture at this time, and said: "Now the prince has many eyes and ears in the capital, and this king can't stay in that fireworks place every day." Besides, the rouge building is full of people, and it can't be safe. It is said that the most dangerous place is the safest place, and this king thinks that today's Song Mansion is the safest place. ”

Listening to his words of covering his ears and stealing the bell, the two guards also snickered in their stomachs, but they didn't dare to make a sound. So he bowed and answered: "Yes, my subordinates understand!" ”

"Alright, you guys hurry up!"

After Jun Yuchen finished speaking, he walked back to the previous room. It's just that this time I just picked up Zichu, and I felt that her whole body was hot. He was shocked, and after reaching out to probe her forehead, he said, "Chu Chu, Chu Chu, what's wrong with you?" Do you have a fever? Don't scare me! Wake up! ”

After Zichu was beaten, he developed a high fever. No matter how he called, she closed her eyes and sank.

Not long after, the two attendants found the things that Jun Yuchen ordered, but Jun Yuchen hugged Zichu and commanded them sharply: "She has a fever, hurry, you go find medicine!" ”

"This ....... prince, in the middle of the night, the pharmacies on the street are closed, and my subordinates don't know, where can I find medicine to reduce fever?"

Jun Yuchen gritted his teeth and stood up when he heard this, and as soon as he moved, he heard Zichu's voice protest weakly: "Don't touch me, oops, it hurts ......."

When he heard this, he sat back down. After looking at her quietly for a moment, he lowered his eyes and said, "I know that the wound on your body hurts....... so you two, go get some clean boiling water and come in." I remembered that a patient with a fever could go down as long as she was repeatedly wiped with boiling water. ”

When she lifted her clothes and looked at the faint candlelight, Jun Yuchen found that her delicate skin was full of bright red blood marks. Almost all of those wattles left wounds on her body, and the originally fair and silky skin was now red, swollen and broken, which made people unbearable to look at.
