Xia Ruixi's eldest aunt Wang is not from a high background, she is the daughter of a rich man, this is okay, she has no knowledge, she is not a fuel-efficient lamp, even if she is in charge of the second room, she will not let the second room call her people around, and she will definitely find an excuse to keep people. What's more, in addition to Mama Zou's knife, it was also found by her mother's family, and the Wang family usually has to take a look at it, and he will not agree to bring Mama Zou here for training.

Mrs. Xia smiled coldly, "Okay, Mama Zou has to guard the fourth young lady." Others don't keep it, right? Go and bring me all the girls and mothers-in-law who are not on duty in the house! But if you dare not come, notify the account office, and from today onwards, the payment of wages to those who have been ordered to live and the death deed will be sold. She has been in charge of the family for many years, and most of the time she is not familiar with the Wang family, but now, the Wang family is more and more disdainful of her as a family, and she really can't bear it.

Xia Ruixi sighed, a very simple thing was stirred up by the Wang family inside, escalated, and turned into a war between the two rooms. It also means that it is certain that Liang'er will suffer hardships, and if she doesn't get it right, she will be kicked out. Xia Ruixi racked his brains to think about what to do to make Liang'er suffer less and stay.

Li Niang and a daughter-in-law beside her whispered a few words, and the daughter-in-law brought a few people to go, but after a cup of tea, dozens of girls came in in a panic to kowtow to Mrs. Xia. Among them, there are many people in the long room and Mrs. Xia's room, but there is still no Mama Zou, it seems that the Wang family is determined to fight with Mrs. Xia to the end.

Mrs. Xia didn't say much, and nodded: "Well, Liniang, let's start now." ”

Li Niang nodded, stood at the door with a heavy face and announced: "Madame has an order, Hong'er, Cui'er, and Liang'er violate Article 3 of the Xia family's family rules, as slaves, they are not allowed to make trouble without reason, and those who violate it will be given twenty rods." He turned back to a dark-skinned mother-in-law and said, "Mrs. Zhang, why don't you hurry up?" Madame is still waiting for a reply! ”

As soon as Mrs. Zhang shook her head, several mothers-in-law with thick hands and feet rushed up behind her, stepped forward and pressed the shoulders of the three girls to push forward, and at the same time kicked their buttocks, and the three girls fell to the ground face down.

Mrs. Zhang stepped forward and lifted the skirts of several girls like a wolf, and removed the cotton pants, leaving only the close-fitting profane pants, and they had to take them off, Mrs. Xia said: "Let's write poems and books, let's save some face for them, just stop it, you don't have to take it off again." Fight one by one, don't you like to watch the excitement? I've read it carefully, and I won't retire if I haven't finished reading it. ”

The girls and mothers-in-law who watched the excitement yesterday were all white-faced and silent. Mrs. Xia wants to rectify the family style, which is to set an example for chickens and monkeys. Xia Ruixi knew that if he interceded for Liang'er at this time, he would definitely add fuel to the fire, so he wisely chose not to be angry, and only gently explained to Wan'er a few words.

Here Mrs. Zhang asked for a light that could be seen, because of the age, soaked in too much blood, and faintly revealed a dark red wooden staff, inserted the waist and slammed the wooden staff to the ground, rubbing her hands, looking at the three delicate little girls with fierce eyes, her eyes were full of excitement. Liang'er and Cui'er both clenched their teeth and didn't say anything, but Hong'er cried loudly: "Miss save me." ”

Xia Ruibei obviously didn't have Xia Ruixi to look at the limelight, and said sharply: "Slow! He stepped forward and said to Mrs. Xia: "Mother, this has not been tried yet, why do you have to beat someone first?" ”

Mrs. Xia looked at her coldly, "Since you have violated the family rules, of course you should finish the fight and retry." Do you have an opinion on house rules? Li Niang only looked at Xia Ruibei, and the people in the long room and the old lady's room were still watching, how could the third lady jump out and dismantle the stage?

Xia Ruibei glared at Li Niang instead, and said, "My daughter naturally has no opinion on the family rules. It's just, if it weren't for Hong'er and Cui'er's fault, would they have to fight? ”

Mrs. Xia said: "Unreasonable three flat burdens, reasonable flat burdens, all of them have to be beaten!" Mrs. Zhang, what are you still doing standing there? Don't you want to be an errand anymore? ”

Hong'er shouted: "Miss, the slave is wronged." The face was slammed, "Don't shut up yet!" You were yelling in front of Madame? ”

Mrs. Xia glanced at Li Niang, and Li Niang understood, and announced: "Hong'er disobeys discipline, yells, has no decency, and will be punished for twenty more." ”

Xia Ruibei looked anxious, "Mother! He was about to step forward to pull Mrs. Xia's sleeve, but Mrs. Xia retracted her hand in fright by Mrs. Xia's cold look, and Mrs. Xia squinted: "Mrs. Zhang, start with Hong'er." Instigated the master, so that the master did not look like a master, and beat me hard, and then twenty, until she knew what the rules of being a slave and a servant were. ”

Xia Ruixi saw that Liniang had an unbearable look on her face, and knew Mrs. Xia's order, even if Hong'er was not beaten to death, she would inevitably become crippled, and she would never be able to stay in this courtyard again.

Hong'er kowtowed desperately: "Madam, the slave and maid know that they are wrong, and beg Mrs. to spare the slave and maid this time, and the slave and maid will make cows and horses for Mrs. in the next life." "The head was broken, bleeding, and the flesh was blurred. Mrs. Xia stared at the hand stove in her hand and didn't look at her.

"One." With a daughter-in-law's high voice, the wooden staff in Mrs. Zhang's hand was raised high, and then fell on Hong'er's body. Hong'er had been shouting and struggling twice, but then she didn't make a sound at all, like a dead man, and was beaten with a wooden cane. The dull sound of the cane hitting seemed to fall on Xia Ruixi's heart, which made her heart tremble, and she tightened Chun'er's hand, and cold sweat soaked the layers of underwear.

Xia Ruibei saw that no matter how stupid she was, she understood what Mrs. Xia meant, and knelt down with tears in her eyes and said, "Mother, it's my daughter's fault, I begged my mother to spare Hong'er's life." In the end, she grew up with her daughter. ”

Mrs. Xia said sharply with a calm face: "The country has national laws, and the family has family rules. Today, your girl made a mistake, you came to intercede for her, and I spared her. Tomorrow, someone else's girl makes a mistake again, and she also comes to intercede, and I will spare it, how can I be in this family in the future?! Keep playing! ”

Li Niang went to help Xia Ruibei: "Third Miss, the ground is cold, your body is important." ”

Xia Ruibei pointed at Liniang and cried: "It's you who are slaves, coaxing my mother to listen to and believe it." You ......" turned around to walk out, and Mrs. Xia slapped the table with a "snap", "Stop me!" Where are you going? ”

Xia Ruibei cried: "If you don't agree to your daughter's plea, your daughter can't stand it, can't you hide from it?" ”

Mrs. Xia said coldly: "Exactly! Today you are here to watch me teach you what is the responsibility of the master and what is the duty of the slave! You can't go until you've read it! What do you think? Do you want to stand up for your own dignity? Or do you want me to have someone invite you? ”

Xia Ruibei cried so much that she had to stand beside Mrs. Xia. Mrs. Xia threw her a handkerchief and shouted, "What are you crying about!" What kind of system? Wipe away your tears and stand up! ”

"Sixty!" Mrs. Zhang finally finished beating Hong'er, leaned down to touch Hong'er's snort, and said with a smile: "Madam, you're still alive." ”

Li Niang glanced at Mrs. Xia and saw that she didn't say anything, so she had to say, "Drag it aside first, and wait for Mrs. to finish the trial." ”

The next thing to fight is Liang'er, Liang'er's face turned pale, his eyes were closed, his fists were clenched, and he gritted his teeth and didn't move. Mrs. Xia said: "Liang'er, can you take it?" ”

"Husband...... Madame, slave servant. Liang'er finally squeezed a sentence out of between her teeth.

"Hmm. Do it. ”

Mrs. Zhang was about to make a move, and a mother-in-law next to her stepped forward with a smile to take the wooden cane in her hand, and squeezed her eyes at her, "Zhang's family, you are tired, rest for a while, let me come, you just stare at the side." ”

Mrs. Zhang has been dealing with these people for a long time, and when she saw her eyes, she understood what was going on, glanced at Xia Ruixi, and saw Xia Ruixi looking at her quietly, and smiled at the moment: "Mrs. is here, the old woman doesn't dare to be tired." He also raised the wooden staff high and hit Liang'er's buttocks hard. Liang'er didn't make a sound at all, even Mrs. Xia nodded.

Xia Ruixi is like a year, and this morning she really understood what life is. finally waited until the fight was over, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Liang'er. I heard a faint voice: "Slave and Mrs. Xie." The stone in her heart was only half gone. She had heard people say before that there were many ways for the officials to beat people, and if they made money, it looked serious, but in fact they only hurt the flesh and skin, not the muscles and bones, so she thought of asking Wan'er to bribe these mothers-in-law, and now it seems that it really works.

As soon as Xia Ruixi raised her head, she looked at Mrs. Xia's cold eyes, although it was only a sweep, but it also made her tremble, and she always felt that Mrs. Xia had seen through something.

After beating the three girls, Mrs. Xia said, "Who will tell me what happened yesterday?" ”

Everyone was afraid that the board would fall on their own bodies, where did they need to ask more, and they told everything like pouring beans into the bamboo tube. Because the second and third misses of the three girls are all there, only Mama Zou in the long room is not there, and most people have suffered her losses, so they put the matter on Mama Zou. A mother-in-law with thin eyebrows and fine eyes, who watched the second door, vividly performed Mama Zou's provocative tone and posture, and concluded: "If it weren't for Mama Zou making trouble in the middle, Hong'er wouldn't have been blinded by lard and went to find trouble with Liang'er." Later, she wanted to provoke Hong'er to fight Chun'er again, but Chun'er was smart and not fooled. ”

Mrs. Xia said, "Have you all looked carefully? Is it really Zou who fanned the flames in the middle? ”

Everyone is accustomed to stepping on the low and holding the high, Mrs. Xia is in such a battle today, how can they not understand what is going on? At the moment, they all said in unison: "It's her!" She relied on the favor of the eldest lady, and often did this, which made the chickens and dogs restless. Our Xia Mansion has never had such a thing, and Madame will punish her severely. "Someone else took out the things that Zou stole from the fourth lady's room on a certain day and a certain day in a certain year, month, and day, and poured out all the things about which two people quarreled and fought.

Mrs. Xia muttered: "Speaking of which, the Zou family is not completely from our family. Originally, most of the time I saw that she was from my sister-in-law's mother's house, and my sister-in-law also relied on her a lot, and turned a blind eye. But now it seems that we can't keep her in our house. She didn't say anything about disturbing the house, but it was a big deal to teach the young lady badly. Li Niang, you immediately follow me to the old lady's room to show the old lady. ”
