Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Mother's Heart
In the Gantang courtyard, the woman's screams came.
Wei Ruyi had just entered the door, and she saw Tan'er, who was curled up in the corner of the courtyard covered in blood, and Yun Shi, who was sitting in the inner hall with the curtain open, and Wei Qizhang, who looked at her gently.
She ignored Wei Qizhang's eyes and stepped forward and said, "Mother......"
"Don't worry, there are still twenty lashes left." Yun interrupted her and drank tea with his eyes down.
Tan'er humbly begged for mercy because of the pain, but the mother-in-law who did it beat her harder than she could, as if she wanted to beat her to death.
Wei Ruyi's palms tightened slightly: "Mother, you just want to be punished, and you also have to have a reason, if you are dissatisfied with your daughter, just hit me!" After speaking, he turned his head and was about to go out, but was pulled by Wei Qizhang: "Ruyi, what are you doing, my mother also has evidence......"
"What evidence is there?" Wei Ruyi was very sure that she couldn't leave a flaw, but before her words fell, Yun's cool voice came: "Zhang'er, you also saw it, no matter what I do, Ruyi will think that I am targeting her." ”
Wei Qizhang frowned slightly, only pulled Wei Ruyi behind him to protect him, and said, "Ruyi is still young, I'm afraid I was also deceived by these pickled subordinates." ”
Wei Ruyi felt the strength that couldn't be broken away from Wei Qizhang's slightly cool hand, which only reminded her of the previous life after he kidnapped him......
The cold in her heart slowly rushed up, gritted her teeth, and pushed his hand away before she said: "It's a wishful thinking, if my mother has evidence, take it out, you can't think that you are unreasonable and ruthless because of a subordinate, right?" ”
When the Yun family heard this, his face became even colder, and he snorted lightly: "Please Aunt Liu." ”
Aunt Liu?
Wei Ruyi suddenly reacted, and Yahuan, who had just passed the word, said that it was Tan'er and Aunt Liu who colluded to slander Qi Zheng, but how could Tan'er be the only one who was beaten?
"Ruyi, don't be afraid, there is a second brother here."
Wei Qizhang turned around and subconsciously wanted to lead her again, but when he saw that she hurriedly took two steps back to dodge, his clear face tightened, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and he put his hands behind him and clenched them into fists.
Wei Ruyi really didn't know how to face this second brother, especially at this time.
Fortunately, Aunt Liu came over soon.
"The concubine has seen the lady." Aunt Liu knelt on the ground with her eyes down, and there was only a deathly silence on her pale face.
"Say what you said before, repeat it." Yun said coldly.
"It was Miss Tan'er who said that the county lord of Qi bullied the fourth lady and wanted to avenge the fourth miss, so she found the cheap concubine and said that she wanted to slander the county lord of Qi and hurt the sixth lady, which would ruin the reputation of the county lord." Aunt Liu said calmly.
When Wei Ruyi heard this, he suddenly understood.
She has no grievances with Aunt Liu, her only purpose in doing this must be to save Wei Chaofang, and the only person in the entire Hou Mansion who can save Wei Chaofang is the Yun family, so eighty percent of it was the Yun family who instructed her to do this, but what is the purpose of the Yun family, just to kill a girl?
"What else do you have to say?" Yun's sharp chin lifted slightly, and he looked at her indifferently.
Wei Ruyi figured it out, and only glanced at Aunt Liu with some pity: "I understand your mother's heart, but have you ever thought about who the sixth sister offended?" "Wei Chaofang hurts the royal face, and a selfish person like Marquis Wu Ning will never offend the royal family for a concubine who has no use value.
Aunt Liu raised her head suddenly, opened her mouth and couldn't speak.
Wei Ruyi didn't care about her anymore, and only looked at the Yun family: "Mother wants to beat and punish, Ruyi admits it, but Tan'er only has one breath left, if she dies, Yu's mother's reputation will also be hindered, so please ask your mother to spare her life." Now that Aunt Liu is willing to sacrifice herself to pull her into the water, she can't argue, and the Yun family will not give her this opportunity to defend herself, so she can only admit it.
Naturally, the Yun clan would not kill her subordinates openly, and seeing that she had already confessed, a trace of disgust appeared on her indifferent face: "Since you have confessed, tomorrow you will personally go to the Runan Palace" to ask for guilt." ”
Wei Ruyi was slightly surprised, she went around in such a big circle just to make her excuse herself?
No, she must have had other purposes.
But Runan Palace, she also wants to go again!
