Chapter 4: Death by the Rod
"Girl......" Ziyu saw that Old Madam Gu was really coming, and she didn't want to lie down on Xie Jinyi's body, "Old Madam, if you want to beat, just beat the slave!" The slave is willing to be punished for the girl! ”
"Ziyu, have you forgotten what I told you?" Xie Jinyi pushed her away, her eyes were absolutely cold, in her previous life, she was sent by Xu Shenxing to Wolong Temple to copy scriptures and think, and she tried to commit suicide by throwing herself into the lake in ashes, although she had no shame to return home, but she also met Xu and Cheng Linyu in Wolong Temple, Xu looked disgusted, saying that she was so jealous and coarse, if it weren't for her dowry, Xu Shenxing would not have looked at her.
Cheng Linyu also sneered at her that she was ugly and stupid, and said that the person Xu Shenxing really admired was her Cheng Linyu, and Xu Shenxing became a relative to her for the future of the Yong'an Hou Mansion, and also said that if she kept her duty, maybe she could live a few more days.
The words of the mother and daughter completely woke her up.
It also aroused her desire to survive, and she not only wanted to live well, but also to live better than everyone else.
Since then, she has followed the master of Wolong Temple to practice medical skills, read a lot of books, tasted all kinds of herbs, saw the warmth and coldness of the world, and also witnessed the suffering of the world...... Finally, twenty years later, she became famous and rich.
Later, she learned that her grandfather did not misdiagnose Empress Dowager Yu's illness by mistake, but was used as a chess piece, which means that Empress Dowager Yu did not die at the hands of her grandfather, but died in the battle of the palace!
It's just that she didn't have time to investigate the matter thoroughly, so she woke up from a dream and returned to the Xie family.
The only wish in this life is to make up for the regrets of the previous life, clear up the grievances of the grandfather's family, and revive the Su family.
If she didn't have to do some bitter tricks, how could she hide from the people of the Xie family and do what she wanted!
Ziyu retreated with tears in her eyes.
Twenty sticks were beaten, and the flesh and blood were blurred and shocking.
Xie Jinyi didn't say a word, gritted her teeth and stood up, she knew that the cane torturer really gave her face in private, although the pain was unbearable at this time, in fact, it didn't hurt her bones at all.
Old Madam Gu didn't raise her eyelids, and waved her hand: "Mother Xue, Mingyue, carry the fifth girl to the Warm Pavilion, wait for the wound to be bandaged, and then send it back to Qingxin Garden, grounded for three months, and no one is allowed to visit and disturb." ”
The two stepped forward in response and helped Xie Jinyi out.
"Old lady, it's true that the fifth girl and Master Xu are closer on weekdays, but to say that they have a private meeting in the back garden is really wronged, and it is Xingzhi who deliberately instigated the matchmaking." Ziyu fluttered and knelt down, "At noon, the five girls finished lunch, and originally wanted to go back to Qingxin Garden to rest, but Xingzhi took the five girls to the back garden to enjoy the plum blossoms, saying that she saw the second lady and the sixth girl with the maids there to fold the plum and insert the bottle, the five girls had the heart to join in the fun, so they also went to the back garden, but they didn't want to go to the back garden, but they only saw the young master Xu there alone, the five girls wanted to avoid it, it was the young master Xu who called the five girls and told her ......"
"Say what?" Old Madam Gu asked coldly.
"Young Master Xu said that the five girls are better looking than flowers......" Ziyu bit her lip.
Everyone complained silently in their hearts.
Five girls are better looking than flowers?
Don't spoil the flowers, okay?
"The fifth girl didn't say anything at the time, she turned around and left, and the eldest young master Xu caught up and said that if it wasn't for the fifth girl, she wouldn't marry ......" Ziyu said hatefully, "Then, then the second lady and the sixth lady took the uncle and uncle into the back garden, which is clear, it is clearly a trap!" ”
"You, you!" Seeing that this dead girl dared to climb their mother and daughter, Xu Shi was so angry that her face turned red, and she hurriedly said, "It is true that I took the maids to fold plum blossoms in the back garden with the six girls before, but we only broke two red plums and went back, and the second time we went to the back garden was to find my handkerchief, not with the uncle." ”
As he spoke, he raised his eyes to look at Xie Yao again, and said softly: "Uncle, at that time, I met with the sixth girl and you and the eldest aunt halfway, you know that I went to look for the veil, not I took you there!" ”
Xie Yao thought about it carefully and nodded: "That's true!" ”
Wei glared at Xu fiercely.
Slut, she actually used her uncle as a shield, why didn't she die!
"With apricot branches!" Old Madam Gu slowly took a sip of tea, picked up the Buddha beads and continued to twist them, "Don't worry, black is black, white is white, and you won't be wronged by any of you." ”
Hmph, want to play tricks right under her nose?
There are no doors!
"Ziyu, you are a rough maid and don't serve by the side of the fifth girl, how do you know this?" Xu Shi seemed to have come back to his senses at this time, and asked coldly, "You say, did someone instigate you to say this on purpose?" ”
Everyone's eyes brushed at Ziyu.
"It is precisely because the slave maid is a rough maid, so the old lady's birthday, was sent to Sheng Ningtang to help, when Xingzhi was talking to the five girls, the slave and the Mingyue girl of Shengningtang just stood behind them, and they heard it clearly, it just so happened that Sister Mingyue was also going to the back garden to fold plums to show the old lady, so she also followed to the back garden." Thinking of Xie Jinyi's words to her, Ziyu said unhurriedly, "At that time, because Young Master Xu was here, Sister Mingyue asked me not to speak out, so Young Master Xu didn't find out about us." ”
Old Madam Gu turned her head to look at the big girl Mingyue again.
Mingyue understood, bowed her head and said, "...... Yes, that's right, what Ziyu said is true. ”
Mingyue is the daughter of Mother Xue, who is calm and introverted, and is deeply valued by Mrs. Gu.
Even Wei, who is indifferent, also thinks highly of her.
Apricot Branch was quickly brought in.
"Old lady, the fifth girl and Young Master Xu are childhood sweethearts, ask the old lady to be fulfilled!" Xingzhi knelt down when she entered the door, kowtowing again and again, "You will spare the five girls this time, and the slave and maid are willing to bear all the blame." ”
"How are you going to take it?" Old Madam Gu's expression became more and more gloomy.
"I am willing to follow the five girls to the Yong'an Hou Mansion and take care of the girls with my heart." Xingzhi kowtowed again, Wei really couldn't listen to it anymore, and said coldly: "The fifth girl has temporarily refused to have a relationship with Young Master Xu, and received the family staff punishment, just now Ziyu said that you are the one who instigated the fifth girl to have a private meeting with Young Master Xu, what do you say?" ”
This apricot branch has a foxy face.
She hates it when she looks at it!
"Old lady, madam, the slave and maid have been wronged!" Xingzhi was shocked and hurriedly said, "Even if the slave maid has the courage to do such a thing, the slave didn't know that Young Master Xu was also in the back garden, but she just thought that Young Master Xu and the fifth girl had been in love since childhood, since they met, it didn't hurt to say a few words, so they didn't stop the fifth girl......
"Presumptuous!" Old Madam Gu slapped the table, and the teacup also jumped, and said angrily, "The fifth girl Yunying is not married, how can she be in love with a foreign man, in front of so many people, you are still framing the five girls, come here, give me a cane for thirty years, and drive out of the Xie family!" ”
The cane woman stepped forward and dragged the apricot branch down.
"Old lady, spare your life, the slave is wronged!" Xingzhi cried all the way, and her voice gradually faded away, "Second lady, help, you can't ignore the slave and maid......"
"Gagged me, hit me hard!" Old Madam Gu's face was gloomy.
The pleas for mercy stopped abruptly.
The cane torturer came to report: "Old lady, that girl is out of breath without being beaten." ”
Old Madam Gu waved her hand and glanced at Xu casually: "Leave it to the housekeeper to deal with!" ”
"Yes!" The cane woman withdrew.
Xu's face was like ashes, and he couldn't help but shiver in his heart.
The old lady did not hesitate to kill Xingzhi to protect the face of the five girls, it is clear that she doesn't want the five girls to marry!
Could it be that the old lady wants to swallow the dowry of the five girls?
