Chapter 9: Misunderstandings
Hearing this, Li Yi looked at Yu Youwei, who was lying on the ground, covered in blood. He walked over tremblingly, which made him how could he accept that the woman in front of him who was dying and lying in a pool of blood was the Yu Youwei who laughed and laughed on weekdays.
He picked her up gently from the cold ground, it was his mistake, how could he throw her alone at home to face Pei's family, he knew that Pei's character. Even if he is entangled in government affairs, he shouldn't just let the little guys around him come back to deal with it. He should have put off politics and come back to protect her.
This rattan hit her body, and it was clearly on his heart.
Pei Shi watched his grandfather walk in, and trembled. Before she could speak, she saw him walking towards Yu Youwei, and the tenderness in his eyes was something he had never seen in his life. She instantly felt powerless, slipped off her chair, and sat down on the ground.
Cui'er beside her looked at her wife like this, and was busy helping her. Pei's whole person has long been godless, and she can't be supported by a delicate woman. She looked at her wife, and had nothing to do, so she had to be bold and said to Li Yi, who was walking out of the door with Yu Youwei in her arms: "Master, madam, she ·······."
Before he finished speaking, he was frightened by Li Yi's angry eyes when he turned his head.
Li Yi turned around and swept Pei Shi who was sitting on the ground with cold eyes, and said coldly to the people in the house: "If something happens to Youwei today, the whole house will be buried with you!" With that, he hurried out the door.
Cui'er didn't expect her grandfather to say such a thing, the original heart of climbing the dragon and the phoenix had long been frightened, and her whole person trembled uncontrollably. This Yu Youwei was beaten like this, and her body was weak, so there was no way to live. At that time, the master will not really bury the room full of people to the Yu Youwei, the more Cui'er thinks about it, the more scared she becomes.
She suddenly looked at the lady beside her, and now only the lady beside her can protect her. Even if his own father is angry, Mrs. is the old lady's appointee, and with Mrs.'s family background, the master doesn't dare to do anything to her. Luckily, I still have a wife!
Thinking of this, Cui'er hurriedly pulled Pei Shi beside her, and cried aggrievedly: "Madam, what can I do about this?" For the sake of that slut, the lord wants to let the room be full of people. This really made that slut confused, madam, you must protect Cui'er when the time comes! ”
After speaking, Cui'er looked at her wife for a long time, but she sat slumped in place and refused to speak. When I was in a hurry, I suddenly heard her sneer, laughing and laughing, and saw tears slipping from the corners of her eyes.
Yu Youwei fell asleep on the bed groggily, and even in her sleep, she could still feel the hot pain where she was hit by the thorns, and she couldn't help but hum softly in pain. In the midst of this pain, she faintly heard the movement of brushing and brushing in her ears, and the voice was so urgent. But before she could think about who it was, the feeling of being engulfed by flames made her unconscious again.
When Yu Youwei opened her eyes, she found that she was lying on the bed in the wing, and the wounds on her body had been smeared and bandaged. The comfortable coolness she felt in her dream was probably because of this medicine.
She got up and rested her elbows on the edge of the bed, bracing herself up. I looked around and saw that there was no one in the room. I just wanted to open my mouth to shout, but I found that my voice was hoarse and unable to speak because of dryness. She covered her mouth and coughed, but the more she coughed, the stronger the smell of blood came from her mouth, and she couldn't help frowning.
The sound of her coughing alarmed the maid who was keeping vigil outside, and the door creaked open, and a maid hurriedly walked in.
When the maid saw that Yu Youwei was half-up on the side of the bed, she hurriedly stepped forward to put the pillow behind her and gently helped her to lie down.
Yu Youwei looked at her gentle movements, "How long have I been lying here?" ”
The maid saw that Yu Youwei's lips were already dry and peeling when she spoke, and she thought that this lady was probably thirsty. He walked over to the table and poured her a glass of water, "Madame, you've been sleeping for almost a day. ”
The maid walked over to the bed and respectfully handed the water to Yu Youwei.
Yu Youwei took the water, and she didn't care about her image, so she drank it in a big gulp. With water moistening her throat, she felt a little comfortable, and the smell of blood in her throat was also diluted by the water. She handed the empty cup back to the maidservant.
"Why am I here?"
The maidservant took the cup, turned and went to the table and poured another glass of water. "It was the master who brought you over. Madam, if you hadn't arrived in time for your grandfather, your situation would have been really bad. I haven't seen my lord's appearance since I entered the mansion, this Mrs. Pei is really ········"
As she spoke, the servant girl suddenly realized that she had lost her words. Hurriedly shut his mouth, with a look of chagrin, this is a big crime to talk about the master in private. On weekdays, she is quick to talk, but now she can be regarded as suffering a catastrophe because of this mouth.
She respectfully held the water glass, "Madam, please drink water." ”
Yu Youwei took the water again and took a sip. Looking up at the servant, he saw that she was standing with her head down. Yu Youwei looked down at the cup in her hand again, and smiled in her heart that she was a clever girl.
"What's your name?"
The maid still hung her head and saluted respectfully: "The slave's name is Lu Qiao." ”
"Lu Qiao, what you said today, I should not have heard. If you say more in the future, I will not be able to protect you. ”
When Lu Qiao heard this, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed. "Slave and maid thank Mrs. Xie for forgiveness, and you should be cautious in your words and deeds in the future."
Yu Youwei's body was still weak, and it was inconvenient to get up to help her, so she only beckoned her to get up.
"Hurry up."
After Lu Qiao got up, Yu Youwei handed her the cup in her hand.
"Do you know where you are?"
Lu Qiao turned around and put the cup back in its place, "The master guarded you for almost a day before leaving." I looked like I was heading in the direction of the study. ”
Hearing this, Yu Youwei thought for a long time, and said, "You go down, I'm tired." ”
"Yes." Lu Qiao leaned over and bowed, and retreated silently.
Yu Youwei heard the sound of Lu Qiao closing the door, so she lifted the quilt to look at the scars on her body, she never expected that her body bones were so weak, and she couldn't bear it after a few rattans.
She ran her hand over her face and neck, and found that there were no other wounds except for one on her neck. Suddenly wondered, she never thought that the angry Pei family in the day would show mercy to her subordinates and let go of the opportunity to ruin her face.
Yu Youwei fell into contemplation at this time, and Li Yi in the study was also immersed in her own contemplation.
The blood stains on the ground in the study during the day had already been cleaned up by the subordinates. That clean appearance, how can people be reminded of the bloody scene in the daytime. The table in the study was full of poems copied on weekdays, Li Yi was sitting on the chair behind the desk, and where Yu Youwei was dizzy during the day, a slave was kneeling.
Li Yi opened his mouth to break the silence: "What you said is true?" ”
The slave who knelt on the ground raised her hand and swore: "The slave and maid saw it that day so truthfully, if there is half a lie, it will not be good to die." ”
As soon as Li Yi heard this, his bloodshot eyes were suddenly full of anger. He slowly closed his eyes and let out a deep breath. Leaning his head on the back of his chair, he seemed to close his eyes to recuperate.
The slave knelt on the ground and looked at him like this, and he didn't dare to come out. For fear that he would not believe his words, he immediately pulled himself out and beat the board.
There was silence in the study, and I don't know how long it took, the slave's kneeling legs had lost sensation, and I saw Li Yi make a gesture towards her to go down.
She moved her lower body slightly, and after kneeling for a long time, she no longer felt the presence of her lower body. During the kneeling period, she wanted to move her legs many times, but she was afraid that she would provoke her master and cause unnecessary trouble. It wasn't that she didn't see Li Yi's appearance during the day, and she was tormented and scared in her heart.
The maidservant thought that she had gone out of the door early, so she jerked herself together and tried to stand up. Unexpectedly, because of the instability of the lower body, the whole person fell on the ground and ate, making a loud noise.
She hurriedly got up, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy without daring to raise her head. After a while, seeing that Li Yi didn't pay any attention to her, he turned around and crawled out of the study.
Before she left the study, the slave sat paralyzed in the courtyard outside the study, and she felt that the clothes on her body had been soaked with cold sweat. She slowly got up from the ground, and she didn't know when her legs had regained consciousness.
The slave and maid breathed a long sigh of relief, and there was a sense of immortality in her heart. Looking back at the brightly lit study, he turned his head and hurried out of the courtyard, muttering as he walked: "Next time, no more silver will be dry!" ”
