Chapter 21: Punishment and Warning
At noon the next day, after Huo Zun fell asleep, Qingyue quietly called her out of the house.
In the courtyard, she saw Lin's maid Mingyue.
Mingyue bowed to her and said softly, "Old lady, please go to the East Courtyard!" ”
It's over, it must have been the news of climbing a tree and escaping that day, and the Lin family asked her to be held accountable!
Xia Qian was shocked, and silently followed Mingyue to the East Courtyard.
In the room, Lin sat at the table with a string of Buddhist beads in his hand.
Xia Qian was supposed to come forward to salute, but reciting the Buddha is a very sacred thing, she thought about it and stood aside silently and waited.
After about a stick of incense, Lin opened his eyes and glanced at Xia Qian lightly.
"How's Fuji'er?" Lin asked.
Xia Qian lowered her head and replied cautiously: "If you return to your mother, it is already much better!" ”
"What's so much better?" Lin Sheng looked at her angrily.
Xia Qian's heart trembled, this person closed his eyes and looked peaceful, and his eyelids changed inside and out?
The best way to deal with such a strong person is to show weakness!
"It's my daughter-in-law's fault that I didn't take good care of him!" Xia Qian hurriedly apologized.
Lin sneered: "You want me to divorce you, right?" ”
Xia Qian clasped her hands together, and her two eyes stared straight at the blue jade slab on the ground.
"The face of my Huo family and the future of Teng'er are all ruined in your hands. I wanted to give you a way to live, but at the birthday banquet in the Supernatural Palace, you almost lost his life when you hurt him. From then on, there is no way for you to live! ”
She shuddered coldly, could it be that she had been found out about secretly changing her birthday gift?
How can it be?
It was a letter from a magpie, and no matter how much they checked, it was impossible for them to find the bird.
"He protected you at the birthday banquet, but for the sake of the face of our general's mansion, he didn't kill you, but it wasn't time yet. All of us will let you live for a long time, and use your flesh and blood to repay the debt owed to our Huo family! ”
Lin's words turned into a sharp dagger, and every word stabbed her in the heart.
Xia Qian couldn't help but shudder and knelt on the ground obediently.
The sense of depression and fear that Huo Zun gave him dared to come from his tall body and cold face, while the fear that Lin brought to her came more from her domineering personality and fierce style.
"You're really cheap!" Lin sneered and walked up to her.
Xia Qian's shoulders trembled involuntarily, and she quickly leaned down and pressed her forehead tightly to the ground with both hands.
"Know how to advance and retreat, know how to forbear. You're really not a vixen? No wonder I was fascinated by my vines! ”
Xia Qian hurriedly explained: "I didn't, I really didn't!" ”
Lin glanced at her disdainfully, and stretched out his foot to step on her slender fingers.
There was a huge pain in her right finger, and she quickly screamed.
"You know the pain, too?" Lin looked at her resentfully, and pointed to his heart with a finger, "Hurt my son like this, do you know how much pain I feel in my heart as a mother?" ”
Xia Qian's heart twitched, and her reaction was a few beats slower.
At the last moment, she still felt that this Lin family had a fierce style and a domineering temperament, and at this moment, she seemed to see the grief and pain in those red eyes.
For a moment, she even had the illusion that she deserved all this!
Seeing that the turquoise embroidered shoe was flattened and sunk by excessive force, she clenched her teeth and said nothing, but the pain in her heart made her tears slide down uncontrollably.
"Let you seduce my son? Let you play the piano? Let you make tea? Cook, keep cooking for me! ”
Lin continued to exert force under his feet as he spoke, and the pain in Xia Qian's fingertips quickly spread from the bottom of his heart to his whole body, as if his entire body was trampled under his feet and crushed into mud.
"I didn't, really didn't. I never wanted to seduce him, I ...... People I like...... It's Lu Jingheng! ”
The pain swept over her, and she did everything she could to squeeze out the words.
"Lu Jingheng" is a disguise, and distracting the Lin family's attention is the goal.
Lin's pupils shrank, and he asked in disbelief, "What did you just say?" ”
"What I said is true, Lu Jingheng and I have feelings for each other in the palace, if it weren't for the fact that the major general was drunk and delirious and mistook me for a princess, there would be no tragedy for the few of us now!"
She frowned, and wrote all the grievances of her stomach with her nose and eyes, and the appearance of pear blossoms with rain.
Lin's face turned pale, and after being stunned for a long time, he couldn't hear any emotion in his lowered voice: "You mean that my family's vines are doing nonsense and ruining your good marriage?" ”
"Lord Lu is as gentle as jade, but mine admires him, and when he performed that day, he also said that he wanted to marry me!"
Lin suddenly burst out laughing, with a mixture of anger and hatred, mixed with joy and sorrow, and the sound fell on Xia Qian's ears, which frightened her again.
"So what? The marriage given by the emperor can't be changed by anyone! But you, if you dare to have the slightest thought about my vine, I will definitely pick your skin! ”
Lin said, stepping on her right hand with a big foot that grinded down her white fingers.
Xia Qian's blood slowly flowed out from under the emerald green embroidered shoe, gradually staining the green jade floor.
Consciousness slowly peeled away from his body, and the cold sweat had completely soaked the back of his clothes.
"I only used 30% of the internal force, and you hurt like this. Is your body half as painful as my heart? If you dare to affect our Huo family again, I will let you pay it back tenfold! ”
In the haze, Lin's words came to her head, and everything in front of her turned to darkness.
When I woke up, the pain in my fingers was still screaming violently, and my internal organs were as if they had been cut open, and the cold sweat on my body was pouring out one after another.
This heartache lasted for more than half an hour, and my fingers were completely numb.
Mingyu walked in and said that Lin had ordered her to inspect the house.
She stood up and took a rag of water, tightened her right hand in her sleeve, and used her left hand to wipe the floor, tables, chairs, and bookcases.
When she wiped the sandalwood table and chairs that Lin had just made, she found that there were strings of agarwood Buddha beads on the table, as well as a copy of the Diamond Sutra.
This one is not unusual, but the sandalwood table is inlaid with a piece of mutton fat white jade, and the white jade is densely engraved with Sanskrit.
In the Sanskrit title, there are eight eye-catching Chinese characters engraved - "Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra".
Looking at those dense Sanskrit words, Xia Qian looked at him for a moment, thinking of the words he saw in the cave of the Heavenly King's Mansion.
After comparing and finding dozens of identical symbols, she opened a book of "King Kong Gold" written in Chinese characters, and she was surprised to find that those stone tablets talked about the ancient country of Yuemo hundreds of years ago.
Although only a part of the text could be found, she vaguely felt that this matter was extraordinary, and once it was announced, it would definitely cause a sensation in the world.
After trying to pull back her wild thoughts, she put the scriptures back in their place as if nothing had happened, and washed the room seriously.
As soon as she went out, she saw Huo Zun's figure from a distance, and she couldn't help but be shocked.
Before the five-day period of recuperation was over, why did he get out of bed again?
"Presumptuous!"
An angry female voice came from behind the rockery, and although she couldn't see the figure, she instantly heard that it was Lin's voice.
Although Huo Zun was standing quite far away from her, he stood straight on his side, and she knew how to lip and read all his words in her eyes by looking at the shape of her mouth.
"Mother, all the mistakes are the child's fault, and it has nothing to do with her!"
"Mother, the child really likes her, please don't be embarrassed!"
"Mother, you embarrass her, it's the real hurt child. If you destroy her right hand, the child will cut off her left hand and make a pair with her, and if you chop off her left foot, the child will cut off her right foot and match her with it. If you hurt his life, you really want the life of a child! ”
A peeled apple flew from behind the rockery and smashed it on his head, but he didn't move, still standing there straight.
"What she said just now is very clear, what she likes is Lu Jingheng, and she has no emotion for you, what are you still protecting her for?" Lin's angry voice came again.
Huo Zun was silent for a moment, and continued to plead: "She doesn't like children, but after a long time, she will be happy with children, and she will raise her eyebrows." ”
A few apples flew towards Huo Zun along with the plate, and he still stood there motionless.
It didn't take much effort for her to see his tall body bend sharply and bend to his knees.
"Mother, for twelve years, you have been living in your uncle's house, ignoring the children. Now that you are reunited, it doesn't matter if you don't feel sorry for the child, but she is the wife of the child who has just passed the door, do you really want to hurt the child so ruthlessly? ”
Xia Qian's nose was sour, and she silently retreated into the house.
had no intention of hurting people, but he disturbed the peace of the Huo family in a daze. Since the day of the palace performance, her "red face and trouble" hat has been buckled on her head.
Whether it was the young lady of the General's Mansion or Huo Zun's emotions, none of them were what she wanted, nor was she anything she could afford.
