The county lord's mansion, in Wang Youhe's room.

Simei and Sizhu stared at a red and swollen face that had been slapped, bent down cautiously, and medicated the face of Wang Youhe, who was lying on the bed, their eyes were red, and they looked like tears would fall at any time.

And Wang Youhe on the bed closed her eyes tightly and pretended to sleep, but the tears that slipped from the corners of her eyes from time to time at that time exposed everything.

Si Mei turned her face away and wiped away the tears that didn't hold back the falling, biting her lip and not speaking, Si Zhu took a deep breath when she saw this, and tried her best to calm her tone, she said, "Miss, it's better to wait for Mrs. Lu to come back, let's say goodbye to her." ”

Hearing this, Si Mei was taking medicine with her hand, frowning sideways and whispering: "What are you talking about!" It's not easy, Miss—"

"Don't talk, let's go down and rest first, I want to be alone for a while." Wang Youhe still had her eyes closed, her voice was a little hoarse, with a slight cry, as if she would cry in the next second.

Sizhu stepped forward to persuade, but Bei Simei grabbed her, and motioned to her not to say any more, even if Sizhu was unwilling, he had to obey Wang Youhe's order, put down the ointment lightly, and then both retreated.

When the door closed, Wang Youhe on the bed opened her eyes, tears flowed down the corners of her eyes, her nose was sore, and her temples were painful.

The face that was slapped was still hot, and the place where someone scratched it with his fingernails was itchy and painful, as if everything had happened in the last second, Wang Youhe took a deep breath and raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.

If she was in Shangjing, why would the daughter of her dignified court official suffer such humiliation, she was slapped by a few ordinary people for no reason, and her face was scratched like this, even if she would not be scarred in the future, the memory would be her eternal pain.

But do you really want to go back?

Wang Youhe admitted that life in Beijing is a hundred times more comfortable, comfortable, and noble, but there is no freedom in Beijing, and he may be forced to marry after he goes back......

Never mind.

She sighed, opened her eyes and stood up, took the robe from the hanger and draped it over her body, and slowly walked to the mirror. Wang Youhe looked at the red and swollen face, looked at the scratched face and neck, and touched his fingers unconsciously.

"Shhhh

Wang Youhe couldn't help but take a cool breath, quickly removed his hand, looked at his face with several blood marks in the mirror, and frowned.

It should be good when Sister Xiaoman comes back, those people bully people with a lot of people, if Sister Xiaoman comes back, she will definitely punish them fiercely after learning the truth, and then drive them back to Donglan!

Thinking about it, Wang Youhe held her chin with both hands, carefully avoided the wound on her face, looked at herself in the mirror, and sighed with a wry smile.

I don't know when Sister Xiaoman will come back, how long will I have to watch the greenhouse in the suburbs, how long will I have to stay in this house, and when will those mothers-in-law relax their vigilance and stop guarding the front and back doors day and night?

"Bang-"

The sudden loud noise startled Wang Youhe, who was in a daze, and she looked at the door with a sharp voice, seeing that the embroidery girls who had bullied her before rushed forward angrily, she was so frightened that she almost fell off the chair.

At this time, she was the only one in the room, but there were five or six of them, and she didn't even have a stick in hand, so she was obviously in a weak position at the beginning.

Wang Youhe panicked in her heart, and even felt that the wound on her face was getting more and more painful.

Because of the previous lesson, she thought that she was still the majestic official lady, so when she saw that these people wanted to bully her, she scolded her loudly, but she didn't want to be in the eyes of these people Although these people were from Donglan, they didn't take her seriously at all, but because they scolded them, they stepped forward and scratched their faces.

With the previous lesson, Wang Youhe spoke more and more politely this time, she got up from the chair, took two steps back with some fear, and her voice trembled: "You... What are you doing here? ”

But when she said that, the people just stared at her viciously, and no one spoke.

The room became quieter and quieter, Wang Youhe could hear her heartbeat getting faster and faster, she swallowed her saliva, and had the courage to ask carefully again: "You... Do you have anything to do with coming to my house? ”

"What do you need to remind you?" A sturdy woman at the head was the first to speak, and said in a rough voice, "Wang Youhe, have you forgotten why we beat you before?" Or are you playing dumb again and trying to get us to do it? ”

After waiting for so many days, I finally saw a lot of people who came to sign up, those people lined up for such a long time, I thought that I and other embroidery girls could each get more than a dozen apprentices, but in the end?

Wang Youhe drove those people away! There are only thirty left! Among these thirty people, she also scored several points herself, this is not deliberately robbing them of their work and not letting them make money!

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have said many times that those people are not suitable, and they will be eliminated." Wang Youhe was extremely helpless, she frowned, and said helplessly: "Even if Sister Xiaoman comes back, she will eliminate those people." ”

After speaking, Wang Youhe took out the piece of paper full of requirements left by Xiaoman from his arms before leaving, and handed it over, "You see, this is written by Sister Xiaoman herself, I just acted on orders." ”

The men pulled the paper over suspiciously, and several people leaned their heads to read it, and chattered together to discuss something.

Wang Youhe wanted to escape while they were discussing, but she didn't want the group of people to stand in a position that blocked the doors and windows, and she couldn't escape as a person who had just been injured and didn't have martial arts.

Helplessly, she had to dismiss this idea.

"Wang Youhe, who are you fooling with such a piece of paper?!" The sturdy woman suddenly threw the paper ball to the ground, scaring Wang Youhe all over, and the woman shouted: "Wang Youhe! I warn you, if you come to sign up in the future, you must recruit me one by one! Did you hear that?! ”

"Big sister!" Wang Youhe was so anxious and angry that she was about to cry, "What I said is true!" This is really left behind when Sister Xiaoman left! ”

The woman sneered a few times, raised her hand and motioned to the several people who followed behind her to step forward, and went to Wang Youhe's location together.

Wang Youhe panicked, turned to look at the smiling crowd, and trembled, "What do you want to do?" “

"Miss Wang, to tell you the truth, we are here just to persuade you to pay attention when recruiting students in the future, otherwise your little face will not only leave two scars." The fierce woman kept her voice calm and glared at her threatening eyes.

"Yes!" A person next to him chimed in: "Miss Wang, we are not bandits or robbers, as long as you can obediently do what we say, we will definitely not embarrass you!" ”

Wang Youhe took a deep breath, tried her best to stay calm, and said with a sad face: "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you want so many students to do?" They won't pay for tuition, and they won't give you money, so why do you recruit so many people? ”

As soon as the words fell, several people around Wang Youhe laughed, especially the sturdy woman who was the leader, and she said in a rough voice: "Don't pay tuition? Wang Youhe, do you think we are all three-year-olds? If she doesn't pay tuition, why does Su Xiaoman run this class? ”

In the eyes of these people, Su Xiaoman's class enrollment is profitable, even if these maids don't pay tuition, then their master will definitely give Xiaoman a lot of money, otherwise she recruited so many people, and bought so many embroidery bandages, but didn't collect money, wouldn't she lose money in vain?

As she spoke, the sturdy woman leaned over to look at Wang Youhe, who was squatting down, with a cold face, and said, "Wang Youhe, I warn you, if you have to go against our ideas, then we can only let you taste the taste of disobeying us again!" ”

"Big sister! I beg you, I really can't be the master of this matter, in case Sister Xiaoman comes back and finds that I didn't do what she said, how can I explain to her? Wang Youhe covered her face and cried: "If you are short of money, I still have some silver here, I just ask you——"

The person on the side interrupted loudly and shouted, "Don't give me something that I don't have!" "What do you think of us? Robbers? We're not that kind of people! ”

As soon as the words fell, a familiar voice sounded at the door, full of anger: "Look at the way you look now, what is the difference between you and robbing robbers?!" Pearl, call all the embroiderers in the backyard for me! ”

As soon as they heard this voice, the people around Wang Youhe were stunned, and then turned their heads dryly, looking at Xiao Man, who was standing at the door angrily, his originally smiling face froze, and he was obviously panicked.

And Wang Youhe, who was squatting on the ground, couldn't hold back any longer, lost his strength and collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily, and his heart finally fell to the ground.

"Come with me to the antechamber!" Xiao Man pointed to the group of panicked embroiderers and shouted: "All come here, no one is allowed to escape!" ”

After saying this, watching these embroidery girls leave one after another, Xiao Man stood at the door and barely straightened his breath, before entering the door to appease Wang Youhe, and then instructed the little guy on the side: "You go and call Simei and Sizhu, and then go out to find a doctor." ”

Fortunately, they didn't do it this time, Wang Youhe was just frightened, so after Xiaoman comforted him, he got up and went to the front hall.

It happened that Pearl also brought other embroidery girls in the backyard to the front hall, Xiao Man coughed lightly, and took the lead in entering the front hall, and then let the embroidery girls who beat people kneel on the ground in a row, and the rest of the embroidery girls were ordered to stand aside and watch, Xiao Man was not in a hurry to interrogate, but let Pearl go to make hot tea.

Those embroidery girls trembled and knelt on the ground, they didn't dare to raise their heads, let alone look at each other, the bold ones could still hold on, but they barely trembled a few times, but the timid ones were already trembling, and their whole bodies were almost lying on the ground.
