Lingwu was taken aback and couldn't help but be stunned. He had seen this kind of scar, when the slaves of Hongning Mansion rioted, there were such scars among the captured slaves that made the nobles whip their skins one by one. Many slaves rebelled because of the beating and abuse of the nobles. Xiulian is just a weak woman, who can do such a poisonous hand?

Xiulian's upper body was stripped naked, and she was so ashamed that she closed her eyes and let Lingwu touch her. For a while, Lingwu stopped his hand, and there was no movement for a long time, Xiulian was worried, but she listened to Lingwu.

"Who hit you? So ruthless. ”

Xiulian was startled, remembered the scars on her body, and suddenly woke up from her confusion. She sat up at once, and said hesitantly, "Master, no, no one hit me." ”

"You're lying."

"Really, master, I, I'm not lying. No one really hit me, I accidentally fell. Xiulian lowered her head and whispered in defense.

When she got up, Lingwu found that she also had a scar on her back, but the color was not as obvious as before, it should be an earlier injury. Lingwu pulled her over, carefully looked at the scars on her back, there were three in total, and they had already fallen off the scab, leaving three marks. Lingwu gently stroked her back and asked in a low voice, "Does it still hurt?" ”

"It doesn't hurt anymore, master, I'm fine."

"Who hit you? Tell me, don't lie. ”

Xiulian was silent, she didn't speak for a long time, her lips moved, the words didn't come out, and the tears flowed down first. Lingwu was so anxious that he roared loudly: "You are talking, which bastard beat you like this?" ”

Lingwu's loud words alarmed the grass outside, thinking that something was going on inside, Lingwu had been gentle to them for so many years, and had never spoken so loudly and angrily.

"What's wrong?" Cao'er rushed in at once and stood by the bed. At a glance, I saw Xiulian ** with her upper body and Lingwu together, and couldn't help but stay next to her.

"You, you ........." was stunned for a moment, and Cao'er turned her head and wanted to leave.

"Cao'er, do you know who beat Xiulian like this?" Lingwu asked her loudly. At this time, Summer Rain and Winter Dance also came in, and hurriedly asked what happened?

"What's the matter? I'm just asking you what's going on? Xiulian has so many scars on her body, obviously she was beaten with a leather whip, who is so bold and vicious? ”

Xia Yu and Winter Dance also came over, and they were all indignant. Especially Cao'er, who said angrily with a black face: "What's the matter? What's going on, you say? Isn't it a good thing that your delicate fairy moon did? Look at her usually pretending to be like a white rabbit in front of you, but she is so ruthless behind her back. ”

"Is it Zhang Xianyue?" Lingwu turned his head to look at Xiulian and asked suspiciously.

"Master, you leave it alone. It's all right, it's okay, we are slave girls, it's nothing if the master scolds and beats twice" Xiulian replied in a low voice.

"Why did she hit you? What's the big deal about doing this? You tell me the truth. ”

"A few days ago, a lot of big things happened in the house, and the family was very sad. The young lady is usually quick-tempered, and these days when she is in a bad mood, she is angry with us slaves, and the wound on my back was beaten at that time. On the day you arrived in Gangneung, I accidentally broke a vase, and the young lady whipped me with a leather whip and hit me in the chest. Fortunately, it only took a beating, and someone said that the young lady would immediately come to the hall to wait for the master to eat. The young lady left immediately, but I didn't expect you to take me away after the banquet, and I escaped this time. Master, don't tell me about this, if you offend Miss, how will I live when I go back to serve her!" Master, I beg you, okay? ”

"You're going back? Who said you were going back? From now on, you are my man. Xiulian, don't be afraid, I will always take you with me. ”

"Xiulian, don't be afraid, Cao'er and I will treat you as a sister. The master said to keep you, and he will definitely keep you. Who dares to go back to the person the master wants? Xia Yu took Xiulian's hand, put on her clothes, and comforted her softly.

The three girls all went to persuade Xiulian, and Cao'er also ran next door to get trauma medicine, and while dressing Xiulian, she said, "Sister Xiulian, you can be here with us with peace of mind." I've been taking medicine a few times in the past two days, and the effect is quite good, I think it will be fine in a few days. Our master has a good heart and is very tolerant of us, and it is a blessing that you have cultivated in your previous life to be able to follow your master. This Gangneung Mansion is our master's world, you don't have to be afraid of that young lady. You see that the master feels sorry for you these days as if he is holding a baby, who else dares to bully you? ”

"Xiulian, you are so good to recuperate. I've started for you today, and it will take some time for you to get started. You will follow me from now on and be my maid, just like the grass and them. Your talent is good, it's really rare, I will teach you well, and if you succeed in your studies, you may be able to help me do something in the future. You have to practice well. Stand down, I want to be quiet. Lingwu said to her solemnly.

Today's events made Lingwu very unhappy, the misfortune of Xia Yu's family, He Jian's tragic experience, and Xiulian's scars shook in his heart one by one. The suffering of the slaves and the arrogance of the nobles made him confused and uneasy. The slaves around him are all living people. The delicate and gentle nature of the slave girl, and the bravery and loyalty of the warriors, all made him feel kind and moved. Especially in the past few years, many of the slaves around him have actually trained into samurai and even some great samurai, and now Xiulian's situation shows that not only nobles can become noble samurai and spiritual warriors, but slaves can also! What are they worse than the nobility? Why are they being bullied like this?

"We nobles have the noble blood of our ancestors flowing in our veins, and we are born with infinite possibilities. Those slaves were born with lowly blood, and they were only worthy of being driven by us as animals. ”

"A child born to a nobleman is born a nobleman, and a child born to a slave can only be a slave forever."

"The master of this world can only be a nobleman with extraordinary skills. Those weak slaves are not even as good as ordinary brute beasts, and the only reason they can survive in this world is to work under our protection. ”

"Any cultivation method is sacred, and it can only belong to those of us who are naturally excellent."

These words kept ringing in Lingwu's mind, and the truth that these adults had spoken in the past and the reality he had observed made him extremely entangled in his heart.

Lingwu shook his head, trying to stop thinking about such a question. Mr. Lin is well-informed, so let's ask him when he comes back.
