Xin Yi glanced at the person who came, and lowered his eyes: "Come and give me medicine." ”

"Yes." The little maid obediently put the tray aside, dipped the potion with a clean handkerchief, looked at her face, and put her hand in the air, and did not dare to wipe it.

"What's wrong?"

She lowered her eyes, as if she was a little afraid: "I didn't expect that the master was really heavy, I thought it was ...... I thought that the master was very fond of his wife, and he wouldn't care about his wife no matter what, let alone ...... What's more, it's a shot to hit the lady? ”

"Not a lot of mouths." Xin Yi had no expression on his face, and there was no anger in his tone, just a calm statement. "If you dare to chew the root of your tongue elsewhere, don't blame me for punishing you severely."

"Slaves don't dare! Slaves don't dare! When the little maid heard this, she quickly knelt down and buckled her head: "The slave and maid will never talk nonsense again." ”

"Hmm." Xin Yi looked at her: "Help me with the medicine." ”

The maid got up at this time, and reached over to rub the medicine on her tremblingly, although the movement was very light, she could still feel Xin Yi's body trembling because of the pain. "The slave and maid should be damned, did the slave and maid hurt the lady?"

She didn't speak lazily, "No." ”

Seeing that Xin Yi didn't like to talk, the maid also took care of applying the medicine to her already swollen cheeks at this time, and when she finally withdrew her hand, she subconsciously gasped, as if she was frightened. "Madame...... Your shoulder...... The shoulder seems to be ...... how."

Xin Yi lowered his head to look, but saw that a pair of his shoulders also showed reddened pinchmarks, which were obviously caused by Yi Beichen's force just now. If you touch it slightly, it will hurt just as much, and it is estimated that it will turn into a purple bruise tomorrow.

"Madame, you ...... You and the host ......"

"You get out."

The little maid clearly wanted to say something, but in the end she could only retreat obediently. "Yes."

At this time, she was alone in the room again. Xin Yi stared blankly at the brocade quilt, resting his chin on his knees, just in a daze.

Every time at this time, Xin Yi only thinks of Mu Fangjin, even if that guy doesn't look like an adult at all, and the young master has a temper, he can always come up with an idea when she is most helpless.

What the future holds, she almost can't think about it, and today's slap by Yi Beichen actually really chilled her heart. But his words made her feel distressed as well. Staying in his house in the future, how should I face him as a lady in charge?

Xin Yi thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't do it.

It seems that because of the fright and the wind cold, Xin Yi recuperated in bed for a few more days, and when he was resting, the swollen part of his face gradually subsided. With the smoke and wind in early summer, she can finally go out for a walk and talk about her illness.

These days, no one is allowed to see her by Yi Beichen anymore, whether it is Dong'er or even Pei Lan. Xin Yi was confined to the courtyard alone, as if under house arrest.

And when she sat down in the gazebo for a short while, she smelled a smell of fat powder in the warm breeze. Xin Yi's brows trembled unnaturally, and then she raised her hand, and the maid on the side hurriedly held her hand and helped her up.

"Yo, my sister hasn't come out for a long time, why did you see us coming, and we're leaving? Won't you go back to the house again? ”

Bad sound.

Yi Beichen's concubines have not had a good face since they hit Xin Yi when they entered the door, and now it is even more the same.

Seeing that she was caught, she turned around generously and curled the corners of her lips slightly: "A few sisters may not have seen each other for a long time, but it seems that they are also out for a walk to relieve their boredom?" ”

"Exactly, I didn't expect to see my sister by such a coincidence."

A few people saw her turn around, and they were blessed in a proper manner, and then they paced in front of Xin Yi, to be honest, Xin Yi actually didn't have any impression of what their names were, except that they knew that they were Yi Beichen's concubines. The only thing that made a slight impression was the most favored concubine Qian'er, and when she saw her, Xin Yi let out a low 'oh'.

It's clear to find fault.

Thinking of this, Xin Yi glanced at them lightly and chuckled, "The sisters are really polite, in fact, they are all a family, why bother to be so rigid about the rules, and they seem to be raw." ”

"Where, we don't have the good fortune of our sister, and when we enter the door, we are no longer envious of our sister, my sister doesn't understand, we are so helpless, and we all rely on my sister to take care of it." At that moment, a woman in blue said with a wry smile.

"How can you be helpless, with your husband, if there is a man and half a woman, the life in this deep courtyard will not be sad."

Qian'er snorted coldly at this time: "Sister, do you know, the master has set the rules, only the lady of the main house can give birth, we?" Oh, if we are pregnant, we can only give birth to it. ”

I don't know what Qian'er meant by saying such things to herself, but Xin Yi only felt a chill down her spine. Knock the child out...... No wonder, no wonder I've been in the house for so long, I've never seen a child, and he still has so many concubines, it's not that he can't give birth, but ...... Don't want to give birth at all?

Xin Yi seemed to have an epiphany for a moment, why did his concubines have such a resistant mood when they saw her...... Especially when she and Yi Beichen did not have a good relationship.

It was she who deprived them of their qualifications to be mothers...... This breath is afraid that no one can swallow it.

"Why?"

"It's the rules set by the old lady, hmph, who knows." When Qian'er said this, her eyes were full of hatred. "But I heard that my sister made my grandfather angry a few days ago?"

"If you don't."

"None? That night, I saw my grandfather come out in a rage. Afterwards...... And the maidservant went to give her sister medicine for the wound? She narrowed her eyes: "I don't know if my sister was injured, is it better?" ”

Xin Yi turned her head to look, and saw that Qian'er's face was full of ridicule, and she was probably blocking her. Xin Yi looked at her, and suddenly laughed: "I'm used to calling my sisters and sisters on weekdays, I respect you because you're old, don't you forget your identity, aren't you questioning me?" ”

"It seems that this is true." After hearing this, Qian'er raised the corners of her mouth instead, and said very disdainfully: "This matter is not groundless, I heard that my sister was slapped by the master a few days ago, tsk, I haven't gone out for so many days, it seems that this slap is very heavy." I wonder if my sister still hurts now? ”

Xin Yi's brows frowned unnaturally, "Thank you for your concern?" ”

"It was my sister who said it just now, we are all a family, why be so polite." Qian'er said, seeing that Xin Yi was at a loss, she became more and more arrogant: "But I heard that that night was the day when the master went out to the banquet, and madam, you seem to have been dragged back by the master." What's the matter, could it be that you sneaked out while it was dark, madam? Speaking of this, the smile on the corner of her mouth became deeper and deeper, and she leaned closer to Xin Yi and sneered: "Could it be...... I stole someone, and I was caught by my master. ”

When she said this, the people behind Qian'er also laughed strangely, piercing Xin Yi's eardrums with pain.

"What nonsense!"

"Nonsense? Tsk, sister, don't make such an angry look, there is no impermeable wall in this world, even if we are in the courtyard of the deep house, but the rumors outside are tight. At that time, when my sister was not married to my father, I didn't have to sneak out to see the prisoner beheaded? Oops, God knows if it's also a private meeting with the same family? When Qian'er said this, the sarcasm on her face was even worse: "Sister, don't think I'm talking ugly, since I've done everything, is it still afraid of people talking?" ”

When Xin Yi heard this, she was even more unbearable, she really wanted to raise her hand and slap this unrestrained concubine, but she clenched her fists and slowly let go.

"Let's talk reasonably, don't just throw dirty water on me based on a few gossips that come out of nowhere. No matter how angry he is, it's okay to beat me or scold me, this is a matter between our husband and wife, and we can't talk about it with concubines like you. If you are thinking about how to slander me, I think you should spend more time serving your husband. ”

"You don't have to worry about this."

Xin Yi suddenly smiled and continued: "Naturally, if you are happy to serve him that day, you may be able to keep your food and clothing for the rest of your life, lest one day you will be old and yellow, and you will be kicked out of the door by your husband, which is also sad." ”

Speaking of sore spots, the faces of several concubines no longer look good. Ke Qian'er was obviously not convinced, but became more and more presumptuous: "Don't think that you, the lady of the main house, are amazing!" Let's take a look and see if it's our old Zhuhuang first, or if you want to go outside and steal people all this day!! ”

"We don't have to wait and see, we can see now." Xin Yi stared at her coldly: "Just by what you just said, I can ask someone to drag someone directly to the ancestral hall and beat twenty or thirty sticks to tell you who is the mistress of this family." I really don't know who borrowed your audacity to slander Madame so recklessly. ”

"Zhuo Xinyi, do you think that now that the master spoils you, you will be amazing, right, what do you do to be sorry for the master, you yourself know much better than us!"

"Shut up."

At this time, Qian'er and the others heard a muffled male voice behind them. When he turned around, he saw Yi Beichen standing behind everyone with a dark face.

At this time, Qian'er swept away the domineering appearance just now, and rubbed up in three steps and two steps to throw herself into her arms: "Master~ You're back...... Not! Before she finished speaking, she saw that she had been slapped so that her body was out of balance and fell heavily to the side.

"Uncultured stuff." Yi Beichen glared at her coldly at this time, "Do you know how inferior you are?" ”

Qian'er's eyes were full of horror, so naturally she couldn't even speak, struggled to get up, and grabbed the corner of his clothes: "The concubine doesn't dare...... The concubine doesn't dare!! ”

As if he hadn't heard her voice, Yi Beichen raised his foot and kicked her aside, "Shut up, spare your life, and go to the ancestral hall to do rough work." ”
