Chapter 064: Chu Qiao, Do You Know It's Wrong?
Shang Fangxu actually came back at dinner, Chu Qiao was very happy, and immediately went into the small kitchen in the courtyard to prepare a table of delicious food for Shang Fangxu.
The three of them had dinner happily, and Shang Fangyan left the courtyard and went to the special conference hall in the old mansion because of something. Not long after Shang Fangyan left, Bai Yun asked someone to pick up Xiao Xu again, and all of a sudden, the originally lively and warm courtyard was deserted, and Chu Qiao had nothing to do, so he casually took a book of Shang Fangyan on the shelf.
Looking down, there is no need to turn over the content inside, just seeing the cover Chu Qiao couldn't help but blush, Shang Fangyan is really interested, what she is holding casually is actually a copy... Atlas of the Spring Palace of the Ming Dynasty.
This kind of book is only occasionally seen on TV and the Internet, and she actually got a copy on Shang Fangyan's bookshelf, how cheap is her hand? It turns out that Shang Fangyan has been looking at such a Spring Palace atlas since he was a child, no wonder his technique... It's going to be that great.
As soon as she thought of the picture of her monk Fang Yan lingering night after night, Chu Qiao's face turned even redder, even if no one was in the room at this time, her face was so red that she could almost drip blood.
"Knock Knock"
The sudden knock on the door startled Chu Qiao. Hurriedly stuffed the album in his hand back to its original position on the shelf, and then quickly turned around like a child who had made a mistake and was caught correctly, to hide the abnormality on his face.
He let out a long breath, and only after a few seconds did Chu Qiao say "Come in."
The chief manager, who was waiting outside, walked into the room, but he just stood at the door, and did not approach, and looked at Chu Qiao's back standing next to the bookshelf from a distance of more than ten meters, and his voice was neither high nor low. "Miss Chu Qiao, old lady, please come over."
Although the chief manager could also see that the old lady and Bai Yun didn't like Chu Qiao at all, Chu Qiao was also Shang Fangyan's wife, and he could be regarded as one of the wives of the Shang family, as a servant, even if the status of the Shang family was high, he had to have three points of respect for Chu Qiao.
Chu Qiao's heart was originally beating quite fast, but as soon as she heard the voice of the head of the Shang family, and heard that it was the old lady looking for her, her whole body seemed to be splashed with a basin of cold water in an instant, and she calmed down instantly.
Raising her hand and touching her cheeks, which were still a little hot, Chu Qiao turned around and smiled at the chief manager, although she didn't know what the old lady was looking for her, she could vaguely feel that the old lady asked the chief manager next to her to call her, and things were definitely not simple.
"Good. You wait for me outside, and I'll go with you to my grandmother right away. ”
The Grand Steward nodded, then retreated to the door.
Chu Qiao came to the inner room and looked at his clothes and hairstyle in front of the dressing mirror, and after thinking that there was no problem, he changed his shoes and followed the chief manager to the old lady.
I thought that the old lady's yard would be very lively, but it was not, everything was terriblely quiet, and almost only the rustle of leaves could be heard after the night wind blew.
Inexplicably, Chu Qiao suddenly became a little nervous, feeling as if he had suddenly come to an extremely strange and terrifying place.
When the maid saw Chu Qiao enter the old lady's room, she blessed her body slightly, and she didn't look up at her or call her out loud, the more Chu Qiao walked into the old lady's room, the more she felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and her whole body became more and more tense.
However, the old lady is an eighty-year-old woman, and it is normal for her to like to be quiet at night, even if there is something wrong. The old lady won't eat her.
Thinking like this, Chu Qiao relaxed a lot again, and followed the footsteps of the chief manager and continued to walk to the old lady's resting room.
Hearing footsteps, the old lady sitting on a large rosewood chair looked towards the door. Seeing Chu Qiao's feet walking in high heels, the old lady's eyes became cold and cold like never before.
"Feet... Are you alright? The old lady took the tea in front of her and lowered her head and took a sip, her voice was neither light nor salty, making people unable to hear the emotion, but it was majestic.
Chu Qiao approached and stopped about five steps away from the old lady, looked at the old lady and smiled decently, and replied softly, "Thank you grandmother for your concern, it's okay anymore." ”
"Okay." As she spoke, the old lady put the teacup in her hand heavily on the small coffee table beside her, changed her tone, and said coldly, "Since it's okay, then kneel." ”
Chu Qiao looked at the old lady who suddenly raised her head with an angry and cold expression, and was a little overwhelmed when she heard her extremely majestic whisper, and even the smile on her face froze for a while.
"Grandmother, Chu Qiao..."
"I'll get you on your knees." Chu Qiao didn't want to say more, and the old lady's majestic reprimand sounded again.
Chu Qiao saw the old lady's resolute and hateful expression, thinking about the old lady's eighty years old age and her status in the Shang family, he bit his lip lightly and knelt down.
Since ancient times, kneeling to the sky and kneeling to her parents, the old lady is Shang Fangyan's grandmother, and it is normal for her to kneel.
"Grandmother, Chu Qiao doesn't understand what mistakes he made would make his grandmother so unhappy." Chu Qiao raised his head and looked at the old lady without being humble or arrogant, his eyes were resolute and clear, "If Chu Qiao really did something wrong, please ask your grandmother to correct it, Chu Qiao is willing to accept your old man's punishment." ”
The old lady looked at Chu Qiao, who had a stubborn expression and said reasonably, and couldn't help but feel more angry in her heart, and raised her hand with a cold "hum" and threw the tea cup on the small coffee table onto the carpet.
"You have the right to ask me what I did wrong?!" Hearing the sound of the tea cup breaking, the old lady didn't frown, she still sat upright and glared at Chu Qiao angrily, "As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shang family, you don't abide by the family style and family morality of the Shang family, and corrupt the woman's morality among the elders and brothers and sisters, which is your biggest mistake." ”
The Shang family's family style and family morality?!
Chu Qiao really couldn't figure out which Shang family's family style and family morality she had corrupted, and what was the Shang family's family style and family morality?
"Grandmother, Chu Qiao doesn't understand what the Shang family's family style is, and what the Shang family's family morality is, and he doesn't understand which Shang family's family style and family virtue he has corrupted, so he asked his grandmother to make it clear." Chu Qiao looked at the old lady, her expression was still neither humble nor arrogant, and even a little more righteous persistence and stubbornness when standing in the courtroom.
The old lady looked at Chu Qiao, who was so not afraid of death, and smiled even more contemptuously, slapped her palm on the small coffee table, and said coldly, "Okay, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, today I will let you have a good experience of what the Shang family's family style and family morality are." ”
Chu Qiao's heart trembled, knowing that he must have completely angered the old lady this time. The island is dead.
"Someone."
"Old lady." The chief steward, who was standing on the side, immediately nodded in response.
"Let a few strong mothers come and torture this woman who doesn't know the height of the sky, and let her know what kind of family style and family ethics she must abide by in the Shang family." The old lady commanded coldly without hesitation.
Punishment (za)?!
What is it? Chu Qiao had never heard of this, but when he thought of the various court dramas in ordinary TV dramas, Chu Qiao immediately had an extremely bad premonition in his heart.
What kind of place is the old mansion of the Shang family, and the old lady dares to torture her privately? Could it be that the Shang family is really like the ancient princes and princes, who can casually control a person's life and death?
Thinking of what happened to Xiao Ye last time, Chu Qiao's brows suddenly frowned, and his heart couldn't help but tremble lightly, and an inexplicable sense of fear rose in his heart.
The chief manager frowned, glanced up at the old lady, and then looked at Chu Qiao who was kneeling on the ground, sighed lightly, and had to reply, "Yes." ”
"Grandmother, even if you want to punish Chu Qiao, you will be punished, you are afraid that your abuse of lynching will not do anyone good to your grandmother and your prestige, so if Chu Qiao really has anything wrong, please ask your grandmother to point it out in front of everyone, and then punish Chu Qiao, so that it is good to set an example."
Chu Qiao already knew very well that since the old lady had the intention to punish her, she would definitely not let Shang Fangyan and Shang Fangxu know, so she could only save herself now, or delay the time to find the old lady when Shang Fangyan came back and found out that she was not there.
Otherwise, she really didn't dare to think about what kind of pain the so-called torture would bring to herself.
The old lady didn't expect Chu Qiao to be so sharp and sharp-tongued at this time, with a posture of neither humility nor arrogance, and the more she looked at the old lady, the more angry she became.
In the Shang family, except for Shang Fangyan, a grandson who makes people love and hate, who dares to disobey her, since Shang Fangyan married such a shameless woman with such different words, then she, as a grandmother, should take good care of this woman for Shang Fangyan.
"Someone, grab her, and gag her mouth."
"Yes."
Before the old lady's words fell, four old mothers in their forties immediately surrounded her, and then grabbed Chu Qiao, pinched her chin, and stuffed something into her mouth.
"Grandmother... Grandmother..."
The old mothers were quick with their hands and feet, and they blocked Chu Qiao's mouth after holding Chu Qiao three or two times, and no matter how hard Chu Qiao struggled, it was useless.
The mouth was blocked, and immediately four tall old women came in, they blessed the old lady, and then looked at Chu Qiao, who was pressed to the ground and was still struggling, all waiting for the old lady's order with a cold face.
Chu Qiao knelt on the ground and was held down by the four old mothers, seeing the four old mothers who came in again, she knew that it was useless to resist again, the old lady made a decision to give her a look, not to mention that the old lady's face was very blue at this time, and her expression and posture were absolutely indisobedient to her, I was afraid that if she struggled and resisted again, she would be even more self-defeating.
It seems that she can't escape tonight, since both horizontal and vertical are going to be punished, then she will obediently let the old lady toss, at least the old lady can feel better in her heart, maybe she can add some trouble to Shang Fangyan.
"What are you doing in a daze, and you don't go to the punishment yet?!" Looking at the four old mothers who were standing still, the old lady ordered coldly.
The four old mothers glanced at each other, and immediately pounced on Chu Qiao, who was kneeling on the ground.
Chu Qiao closed his eyes helplessly, and could only let it be slaughtered.
Although she was scared at the moment, very scared and scared, her heart was warm and throbbing.
Shang Fangyan, as long as you take me to heart, no matter how hard it is, I won't escape, never.
......
In the midst of the surging thoughts, Chu Qiao felt that her hands and wrists were tightly held by two hands like iron tongs, and subconsciously, Chu Qiao clenched her hands, but soon her ten fingers were forcefully broken one by one, and suddenly, Chu Qiao's entire spine was cold, and a huge pain came from the thumb of her right hand.
It turned out that this was the so-called torture, and Chu Qiao didn't need to open his eyes Chu Qiao already understood, but he was afraid that his ten fingers would not be better.
It's just, God, please don't be too cruel, please don't let my ten fingers be scrapped, otherwise, how can I make food for Shang Fangxu, how can I take care of Shang Fangyan, be a qualified and good wife, and how can I take back the custody and custody of my son.
"Hmm... Well... Hmm..."With each stitch that pierced hard, Chu Qiao let out a heavy muffled snort.
Soon, index finger, middle finger, ring finger ... Huge pains came one after another, Chu Qiao didn't struggle or resist, and he was powerless to struggle and resist again, he only closed his eyes quietly, letting the tears of pain on his body gush out uncontrollably, and silently shouted a name in his heart: Shang Fang Yan Shang Fang Yan Shang Fang Yan...
......
The eight old mothers couldn't bear to feel distressed when they looked at Chu Qiao's blood-drenched ten fingers and Chu Qiao's already pale little face in cold sweat, and they all stopped what they were doing, and then looked at the old lady who was still sitting upright.
The old lady squinted at Chu Qiao, who was so stubborn and not afraid of death, finally let out a long breath, and asked in a somewhat soft voice, "Chu Qiao, do you know that you are wrong?" ”
The pain had already spread to every part of Chu Qiao's body, and she was already weak at this time, if it wasn't for a few old mothers, I am afraid she would have been as soft as a puddle of mud to the ground.
"Grandmother, Chu Qiao doesn't know what's wrong, please make it clear to grandmother." Chu Qiao's voice was already as weak as a puff of smoke, even if the breeze blew, it would disperse and disappear.
The old lady said "hum" coldly, she didn't expect Chu Qiao to be so stubborn and didn't know what to do, and she was even more afraid of death, it seemed that she was going to cross her heart to the end tonight.
"Okay, since you don't know what's wrong, keep rolling until you admit your mistake."
Several old mothers frowned and looked at each other, although they also knew that Shang Fangyan was very fond of Chu Qiao, but this was the old lady's order, who dared to disobey, so they could only continue hard, and it was this young lady who didn't know how to be soft and pleasing to others, so it was no wonder that they were ruthless.
