83. Overboard
The two servant women with the rod waited for An's order, and as soon as they heard An's talk about the family law, they immediately rushed up and pressed Xu Ru down on the bench, and tied her hands and feet in three or two.
An looked at Xu Ru condescendingly, but Xu Ru did not panic on his face, did not plead, he was calm as if nothing had happened, and that calm was very similar to the woman's expression before she died.
"Scratch her face for me!" Ahn hissed and roared.
The executioner was stunned, they had never done this kind of bloody thing, the two glanced at each other, lowered their heads tacitly, and pretended not to hear.
An Shi was very angry, pointed at Mama Lu and said, "You go!" ”
Mama Lu looked at Xu Ru, then at An's, knelt down in front of An's with a sad face and said, "The fourth lady is the master after all, and the old slave is a subordinate, and the following offenses will lose their heads!" ”
"Useless stuff!" An's angrily kicked away Mama Lu, "I'll do it myself!" ”
As he spoke, An grabbed the delicate peel knife from the fruit plate on the side and stabbed Xu Ru in the face.
"Knock knock knock......" At the moment when the tip of the knife touched Xu Ru's face, there was a quick knock on the door.
An Shi couldn't help but shake his hand, the tip of the knife cut through Xu Ru's face, the warm blood flowed down the blade to the hilt, stained her fingers, the sticky touch and the smell of blood made An Shi nauseate for a while, hurriedly dropped the knife, and felt unwilling after dropping it, and then transferred his anger to the person who knocked on the door, and yelled outside the door, "Who!" ”
There was silence outside the door, and just when An was about to be impatient to the extreme, a weak voice sounded outside the door, "Mother...... It's ...... me."
It's Xu Yuan!
This scene in the courtyard is obviously not suitable for Xu Yuan to see, An snorted unwillingly, and raised his chin at Mama Lu, Mama Lu willingly asked Xu Ru to loosen her ties and take away all the torture tools for execution, but after a while, the courtyard returned to normal, and An opened the door to let Xu Yuan in.
Unexpectedly, Xu Yuan was with tears on her face, and when she saw An's crying, her baby daughter cried loudly, and An's panicked suddenly, and she couldn't care about Xu Ru, so she hurriedly pulled Xu Yuan in her arms and coaxed, "What's wrong?" Who bullied you? Tell my mother, my mother will call the shots for you......"
Seeing this, Dong Nuan glanced at Xu Ru, Xu Ru slipped out along the root of the wall knowingly, and bumped into Yuanyuan as soon as she turned her head, Yuanyuan stared at Xu Ru's bloody face in horror, and the scream was covered in her throat with her own hand, Xu Ru pulled her away before explaining, "It's okay, a small injury!" ”
As he spoke, he took a handkerchief and wiped the blood stains, revealing the bruise on his forehead and the half-inch knife wound on his left cheek, although the wound was not big, but it was on the face, and the round circle who came back to his senses looked at Xu Ru very unbearably, "What should I do if I have a scar on my face?" ”
Xu Ru smiled lightly, "I am a hard-working person, no matter how big the wound is, it won't leave many scars, at most it will be fine in two or three days!" ”
Yuan Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and pulled her towards the Shulin Pavilion, "Let Sister Luhe clean up your wounds!" ”
Xu Ru stood still in place, "If you go to find Luhe, you will definitely alarm the ninth sister, I see that the ninth sister's complexion has been really bad recently, don't bother her if it's okay, I'll deal with this little injury myself!" ”
Xu Ru insisted on refusing to go, so Yuanyuan had no choice but to give up, personally sent her back, and knocked on the green beads before leaving, but he didn't go back to Shulin Pavilion, and went around to Jinhuayuan, only to see Mama Lu go to Aunt Hao's yard violently.
Yuanyuan's heart trembled, gritted his teeth and went to Chunhui Garden, and before he walked to the fork in the road, he was stopped by Treading Snow, seeing Yuanyuan's panicked face, Treading Snow said, "Trouble!" If Mingxia hadn't come over, I'd see how you'd end! ”
There were tears in Yuanyuan's eyes, "I was wrong, I only thought about saving the fourth miss, and I didn't think about the rest so much!" I'll go to my wife now, let her save Aunt Hao, and I'll be willing to deal with me when I turn around! ”
Taxue glared at Yuanyuan, "Miss already knows, can she still watch you die?" What do you think about all day? Miss told her thousands of instructions, if you can't make up your mind, come to her, don't make your own decisions! If it weren't for Mingxia being afraid that you would get into trouble and come to Shulin Pavilion to find you, Miss wouldn't have known that you had such a big courage, the old lady had ordered to hide Aunt Hao's pregnancy, and you dared to reveal it to Miss Eight, are you suspicious? ”
Yuan Yuan cried, "I don't want to make trouble for Miss......"
"It's already messed with!" Treadxue poked Yuanyuan's forehead, "Hurry up and go back to me, Miss already has an idea about this, you stay in the house for me honestly!" ”
Treading the snow dragged Yuanyuan all the way back, Yuanyuan still let go of the trouble he had caused, "What is Miss going to do...... Can I help in ......"
"You're honest and you're doing the most of your help!" Taxue glared at Yuanyuan, her eyes were slightly red, "What else can I do, someone has to suffer this disaster......"
Hao's pregnancy was personally given by the Wang family, and no one was allowed to reveal it, mainly because An's physical condition at the time could not withstand such stimulation, and he planned to wait until the time was right.
But the people who can hide it do not include Xu Shu, Xu Shu has always rarely hidden things from the people around her, so almost everyone who serves Xu Shu in Shulin Pavilion knows that Hao's pregnancy is pregnant.
Today, in a hurry, Yuanyuan grabbed a little girl and asked her to tell Xu Yuan about Hao's pregnancy.
Xu Yuan has been suffering from gains and losses since she was taken captive, plus Xu Yang has been staying in Hao's house since she came in, and the little girl told her that if Hao gave birth to a son, Xu Yang would no longer like her, Xu Yuan suddenly panicked, crying and running to find An's.
Xu Ru escaped because of this, but if Hao's fell into the hands of An's, whether the adults could keep it or not, the child in the womb An would definitely not be able to tolerate it.
But Hao's is a legitimate concubine who has passed the Ming Road, and the blood in her belly is the blood of the Xu family, if something happens, the old lady will investigate it, and she will inevitably find out that Yuanyuan said that she missed her mouth, Xu Shu wants to keep Yuanyuan, and she must not let the old lady come to check, and if she doesn't let the old lady check, she must keep the child in Hao's belly, and if she keeps the child in Hao's belly, she will extinguish An's anger.
Xu Shu stood on the bridge, which was the only way to go from Jinhuayuan to Hao's remote courtyard, listening to the chaotic footsteps from far to near, closer, closer......
Mama Lu saw Xu Shu standing in the middle of the bridge hurriedly stopping to say goodbye, Xu Shu had already smiled sideways to give way, "Seeing that Mama is in a hurry, there must be something important, I won't delay you!" ”
Mama Lu thanked gratefully, and was about to pass by Xu Shu with a slippery person, and the moment she staggered, Mama Lu slipped and pounced on Xu Shu, and then she heard a sound of "puff ......" and a scream that resounded through the sky, "Mama Lu pushed Miss Nine into the water......"
