Chapter Seventy-Nine: The End
Aunt Wen was born in a small family, so she didn't have the courage to plan and escape.
But Bai Zhi is a person, since she knew that Mu Li was going to the northwest, she talked to Aunt Wen all day long, what happened to the aunt who was not favored in other mansions, and said how Aunt Lin who did not fall in front of the mansion died, and said a lot about this and so on.
He also said: "Auntie, it's not the slave who forced you, you are still so young and beautiful, you can't just die of old age in this small courtyard like this, right?" ”
"Since you carried your aunt, don't talk about entering your room, even this courtyard he has taken a detour."
"You look at the lady and the kind one, but are you really kind, do you know? Since Mrs. Zhengtou and the concubine are not right, do you really think that Mrs. is different from ordinary people? ”
"Now that the lord is going to go on the expedition, if the lady wants to do something to you, just open your mouth, he will return from the northwest in the future, as long as the lady doesn't say it, where does he remember that there is such a person as you."
"That being the case, you might as well give it a go, if you win, you can have whatever you want, and if you lose, at most you will go back to the way you are now."
The tone of his speech is very sincere, which makes people inexplicably feel that "I am saving you".
Aunt Wen was moved by Bai Zhi's words, she also felt that she was young and should not die of old age in this small courtyard, she had to Bo Yibo, even if she lost, she would admit it, in case she won.
A man is in a bitter cold place like the northwest, and there is a woman by his side to ask for warmth, which is completely different from not having a woman by his side, she is still old and looks beautiful, but any man will not refuse.
Now that she has become Mu Li's concubine, she must also earn a future with herself, not to mention anything else, just ask for silk and silk in the future, and it is good to eat and wear without worry.
So in the end, she still planned with Bai Zhi to follow Mu Li to the northwest.
Aunt Wen is just a shallow boudoir woman, she believes whatever Bai Zhi says, but where are those things so simple outside. Mu Li went to war, not to the northwest to enjoy the warm fragrance and warm jade, Bai Zhi encouraged her to follow all the way, what kind of heart is An, but anyone with vision knows it.
This master and servant, dressed in armor found out of nowhere, followed the rear of the army as if they were traveling northwest. also has perseverance, this hike has been fast for several miles, and he still gritted his teeth and persevered.
The people sent by Mu Mingshu saw at a glance two people who were short in stature and did not fit in with the army.
The leader went to the front to say hello to Mu Li, and whispered about the matter, only to see Mu Li's face as black as ink, and coldly ordered: "Deal with it as you want to take it back." ”
The two of them were quietly taken away from the ranks of the army, without splashing a single wave, Zhao Yiheng took a look at it, but he didn't know anything.
Aunt Wen and Bai Zhi left the Mu Mansion with confidence, and when they saw the men in the Mu Mansion guard clothes, they still wanted to struggle, and they didn't want to ask someone to cover their mouths and noses and drag them away before they could open their mouths, and they immediately turned pale with fright.
When the two of them were put on horseback, and when they were sent back to Mu Mansion all the way, their faces were already pale and pale, and there was no human color to speak of.
The guard led by the guard grabbed one with one hand and threw it in front of Mu Mingshu as if he was carrying a chicken, and said with an expressionless face with both hands: "Big girl, the master said, what to do with it." ”
Mu Mingshu nodded at the man with a smile and responded, "It's hard work." ”
The two men were still wearing the armor they had found out of nowhere, and they were lying on the bluestone floor tiles in embarrassment, their bodies shaking like chaff.
Aunt Wen raised her eyes slightly, and happened to meet Mu Mingshu's cold eyes, and her intestines were suddenly ruined, and she sighed in her heart: It's over, it's over, it's over.
Mu Mingshu sat on the rosewood carved official hat chair, holding the sweet white porcelain tea bowl elegantly with his hands, skimming off the tea foam on his head one by one, his face was calm, silent, and only made people look at the more and more people.
Aunt Wen was afraid of Mu Mingshu, she was afraid of Mu Mingshu before, and now she is even more afraid, she is afraid for no reason, but she hates this feeling even more, hates Mu Mingshu's lofty posture, and hates her domineering appearance.
She stood up boldly, took off her heavy helmet, looked like she was at home, and her voice trembled slightly: "I want to see Madame." ”
Mu Mingshu didn't pay attention to her, but still skimmed the tea foam in the tea bowl, as if he hadn't heard it at all.
Aunt Wen bit her lower lip tightly until there was a fishy sweetness, and then she repeated it again: "The concubine wants to see Madame." ”
Mu Mingshu hooked his lips and smiled, then gently put down the tea bowl and raised his eyes to look at her: "Oh? He smiled sarcastically: "You also know that you are a concubine?" ”
Aunt Wen's face turned white, and she bit her lips more and more tightly. What is a concubine, a concubine is half a slave, even if a good concubine is a concubine, if the master likes you, she is an aunt, and if the master doesn't like it, you are not as good as those subordinates. For men, they are stubborn things, how many men will really treat stubborn objects as human beings?
"Do you know what happens to running away from a concubine? No matter what the reason, if you run away from the house without the consent of your mother, you are a concubine. Mu Mingshu's cold voice was like a sharp knife, piercing into Aunt Wen's heart one by one.
What is the fate of escaping concubines, escaping concubines are caught to be immersed in pig cages, even if they are not caught, they can only live in the dark forever, and they can't see the light.
Aunt Wen's already pale face turned a little whiter, her hands clenched into fists, and her eyebrows were lowered.
Seeing this situation, Bai Zhi's heart was crossed, and she knelt down and walked forward, stopped at Mu Mingshu's feet, and kowtowed with tears in her eyes: "Please let our aunt go with the great mercy of the county lord, and let go of my aunt with the great mercy of the county lord." ”
Her forehead hit the bluestone floor tiles again and again, and after a while, she had already seen bloodstains: "It's all the slave's fault, it's all the slave maid's instigation, it's not about the aunt's business, it's all the slave maid's heart is higher than the sky, I don't know the height of the sky, it's all slave maid, I beg the county lord to let the aunt go, and the slave and maid will dispose of it with you." ”
Mu Mingshu ignored Bai Zhi, but turned his head sideways and asked Aunt Wen: "Tell me, but this maid instigated you?" ”
As the saying goes, people don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, Aunt Wen struggled twice in her heart and said without hesitation: "Yes, it was instigated by this maid, otherwise, otherwise the concubine would not have done such a ridiculous thing for no reason." ”
Bai Zhi didn't look at Aunt Wen either, but her face was full of defeat, and she knelt straight: "The slave and maid should die, if you want to kill or chop, just rush to the slave and maid." ”
"Coming at you." Mu Mingshu sneered, leaned down and reached out to pinch Bai Zhi's chin, carefully examined her face, and said with a smile: "What's your name?" ”
Bai Zhi trembled, unable to tell what Mu Mingshu meant, but still replied obediently: "Slave, slave maid is called Bai Zhi." ”
"Oh~ Bai Zhi is it......" Mu Mingshu's voice dragged on, let go of her chin, and sat up again: "You deserve to die, you should have died a long time ago." ”
Bai Zhi's body was cold, her body stiffened, and she couldn't speak.
I heard Mu Mingshu say again: "You are also capable of being a maid, and you can also instigate the master, which is amazing." Mu Mingshu's voice was faint, without the slightest emotion, but when the words changed, it was as cold as the cold winter of the moon: "But I will treat all those who are loyal to my Mu Mansion, but in the same way, those things that eat inside and outside will not end well." ”
She said this to Bai Zhi, but she raised her eyes meaningfully and glanced at Aunt Wen, and that glance made Aunt Wen can't die headlong.
Bai Zhi cried heartbroken, and then prostrated down and kowtowed vigorously: "The slave knows that it is wrong, the slave knows that it is wrong, the slave and the maid deserve death, and the slave knows that it is wrong." ”
She knew that this time she would definitely not be able to find a good one, since she called Mu Mingshu to arrest her for two days, she conveyed several messages to the master, but the master didn't believe her anymore. This time, she took the risk of asking Aunt Wen to fight once, but she also wanted to fight it once, but now she has planted it, and she has planted it, and she also admits it, but she can't just forget it.
Mu Mingshu sneered and asked Aunt Wen, "Aunt Wen, what do you think you should do with this girl?" ”
Aunt Wen couldn't bear to see the bloodstains on Bai Zhi's face, although she blamed her for not instigating herself to follow Mu Li in the first place, but in the end, there was still a master-servant relationship, she bit her lip for a while before she said in an urn voice: "Will, demote her to the Huanyi room." ”
"Hehe......" Mu Mingshu chuckled twice, as if she had encountered something very funny, she looked at Aunt Wen with mockery, and asked with a smile: "Do you know what happened to the two porters who let you out of the mansion now?" ”
Aunt Wen and Bai Zhi were both shocked, and saw Mu Mingshu ordering: "Bring it up." ”
Then two rough women came forward with two men dressed in gray, one was a little older with a beard and a hunched back, and the other was still a young man, thin and weak.
The clothes on the backs of the two were blurred with flesh and blood, obviously they had been punished with a cane, and their faces were also bloody, and blood spread out of their mouths, and the most terrifying thing was that the word "slave" was branded with a soldering iron on their faces, which was both hideous and terrifying.
Aunt Wen glanced at the general, and then screamed in fright, Bai Zhi, who was originally low-eyebrowed, heard Aunt Wen like this, and only then raised her eyes to take a look, and her eyes widened with fright, and her body trembled more and more.
Not only were these two men punished with fifty boards of rods, but they also had their tongues cut off and branded with marks that could not be erased for the rest of their lives, which was more terrible than killing a man.
Aunt Wen pointed at the two of them, unable to speak for a while, but her little heart seemed to jump out, and she was really scared.
Mu Mingshu played with the gold-inlaid jade hibiscus carved bracelet on his wrist, and smiled casually: "Look, these two people have always loved to shake the affairs of the mansion, but now they can't say anything." ”
Her gaze turned to Bai Zhi and Aunt Wen again: "What a person does, what kind of responsibility he has to bear, since you are willing to follow the master on that end, you should know this truth." ”
He added: "So you still think that you can have a good end? ”
