Chapter 16: The Dumb Girl
In the ink-like night sky, a full moon hangs in the sky, and the bright moonlight makes the whole small garden more and more hazy and ethereal, giving people a dreamlike beauty! A thin figure is busy among the flowers, burying the prepared fertilizer next to a few peony roots, looking at the leafy peony flowers, and showing a comfortable smile on the withered yellow face! This person is the mulberry branch that Mu Qingya wants to investigate. She re-cultivated the soil for the peony flowers, and as soon as she stood up, she felt a pain in the back of her neck, and she lost consciousness as soon as it was dark in front of her eyes!
I don't know how long it took, I suddenly felt a cold on my face, Sang Zhi opened her eyes in a daze, the bright light made her a little uncomfortable, and when she finally got used to seeing the scene in front of her, she was directly scared in place!
This room is obviously not the style of the Mu family, the room is not big, only a small window is opened next to it, and even a person can't get by! The room was empty and empty, and the candles lit up the whole room as if it were day! And Mu Qingya sat in the center of the bright candlelight, her beautiful face seemed to be plated with a layer of jade luster in the candlelight, and it became more and more crystal transparent!
"Mulberry ......"
The cold voice couldn't hear the emotion, but it made Sang Zhi tremble, and he quickly got up and knelt up and respectfully lay on the ground and saluted Mu Qingya!
Looking at the thin figure kneeling on the ground like a piece of paper, Leqin was a little unbearable, although she didn't have any conversation with this mulberry branch on weekdays, she also knew that she was really pitiful, and she couldn't speak, she was ostracized a lot in the house, because she was withdrawn, and she was regarded as an outlier, and from time to time there were maids and girls who laughed at her and teased her! It's just that, looking at Mu Qingya's eyes, she didn't say anything in the end, if this matter is verified to be really hers, then she may not be able to live!
Mu Qingya's slender fingers played with the emerald green jade bracelet on her wrist, and her eyes gently fell on the kneeling mulberry branch: "You were just a beggar at the beginning, but it was your mother who saved you, brought you back to the Mu family, gave you food, and let you live until now!" ”
Sang Zhi trembled, and from time to time there were one or two suppressed snoring sounds in his throat, and he really couldn't say anything, only kowtowed to Mu Qingya!
The atmosphere was unusually quiet for a while, only Sang Zhi's head hit the ground and made a thumping sound! After a while, Sang Zhi's forehead was black!
Mu Qingya looked at her unmoved: "I wanted to keep you, but unfortunately you are too variable, I don't want to put a white-eyed wolf like you next to my mother who wants to devour the master, maybe when, you will put the poison into your mother's porridge!" ”
"Ah...... Ah......h
"Why, you still don't admit it?" Mu Qingya stood up, picked up a paper bag on the table, and opened it gently, revealing the white-brown powder inside, "Persimmon powder, it's really a good thing, light, colorless and tasteless......"
Mulberry fell to his knees on the ground, and his eyes were even bigger and more terrifying because of fear: "Ah......hhhh
"I really didn't expect that you could lurk so deeply, when your mother rescued you, you were ten years old, and now you have been more than ten years, you are waiting for those flowers and plants in that small garden, and from time to time you give some medicine to your life-saving benefactor, and your life can be regarded as comfortable, huh? A dog who is so comfortable that he forgets to betray his owner will definitely be killed! ”
Sang Zhi shook his head violently, tears flowed all over his face, and Leqin, who looked at it, couldn't bear to turn his face!
This is, the door of the room opened, and Steward Fu walked in and nodded at Mu Qingya: "Miss, it's done!" ”
"Thanksgiving Butler, Sang Zhi, do you want to see someone?"
Sang Zhi's movements stopped suddenly, and his eyes, which were originally mixed with madness, suddenly sobered up, as if he realized something, and turned to look at the door! A small black and thin figure was brought in by Steward Fu! Sang Zhi seemed to be stimulated by something, and he actually broke free from the control of Le Qi, threw himself in front of Steward Fu, and hugged the black and thin boy into his arms!
The little boy saw a sweet smile on Mulberry's thin little face, and called out crisply: "Sister! ”
Sang Zhi rubbed the little boy's head with tears on his face, looking at Mu Qingya's eyes full of vigilance, with a faint hint of pleading! She didn't expect the young lady to find out about her drugging his wife, she knew that her actions were revenge, but she had no choice, she wanted to save her brother, she wanted to live with her brother, she had no choice! Now that Miss has found out, what will she do? Will you kill yourself and Xiaobao? No, no, it's okay to die by yourself, but Xiaobao must not be fine! Thinking of this, the hand holding the child in his arms tightened even more.
The little boy looked at Sang Zhi's expression, his innocent eyes were stained with a trace of doubt, and his black and thin hand touched her cheek, trying to help her wipe away her tears, but he was hugged by Sang Zhi even harder into his arms!
"Mulberry branches!" Mu Qingya shouted softly.
Mulberry Branch knelt on the ground, tightly protecting the child in his arms. Mu Qingya didn't think it was wrong, and looked at the child with a faint look: "He should be fourteen years old, but he looks about the same as a ten-year-old child, don't you think it's strange?" ”
Sang Zhi raised his head and looked at Mu Qingya tightly.
"Heh, why don't you open his shirt and take a look?"
She spoke in a very soft voice, with a hint of sarcasm in her words, but let Sang Zhi unconsciously do what she said! A moment later, the hoarse voice of Mulberry Branch sounded in the room: "Ah! The suppressed pain and anger in her voice made her voice more like the roar of a wild beast, which was particularly shocking!
I saw that the little boy's chest and arms were full of traces of abuse, some of which had become light, some were still dark blue, and the most serious was a wound near the abdomen, and a long scratch along the ribs was still dark blood! At the moment when the clothes were opened, the little boy obviously shrunk a little, his eyes were dyed with horror, but he didn't resist, but held his head tightly with his arms in his arms!
Sang Zhi raised his head and stared at Mu Qingya's eyes like a beast forced into a corner!
"What, angry? Can't stand it? There's more to your baby than that! ”
Mu Qingya's expression was silent, and her voice did not fluctuate in the slightest, but it inexplicably made Wei Yi feel a little cold.
Mulberry Branch screamed twice, suddenly put the boy on the ground, and tore the boy's clothes like crazy. Without the cover of his clothes, the boy looked thinner and thinner, his ribs were clearly visible, and the wounds looked even more horrible!
The boy stayed quietly on the ground, letting the clothes on his body be torn, and the bruises on his back leaked out first, and the whip marks, burns, and finger prints looked shocking! These are not the main things, the most unbearable thing is that his back covered with wounds is still stamped with light red marks and tooth marks!
Seeing that Sang Zhi was about to tear the boy's pants, Steward Fu hurriedly took the boy to the side and took the cloak on the side and put it on him!
Mu Qingya looked at Sang Zhi coldly: "Don't you understand?" For those men, sometimes the unspeakable boy is more attractive than the woman! It's really not unfortunate that a teenage child is going to be humiliated like this, and her own sister inflicted it on him! ”
Sang Zhi trembled suddenly, his face was distorted, and he covered his ears and roared towards Mu Qingya! Le Qi frowned and kicked her to the ground! Le Qi hurriedly blocked in front of Mu Qingya: "Miss, don't talk nonsense with her, I'm afraid she still doesn't understand!" ”
Mu Qingya chuckled: "Angry? Who are you to be angry? They control your family and threaten you, can you still have a good baby? It's a misfortune for your poor brother to survive until now! Now because there is a sister who is still a little useful, he is just being abused, and when his sister is useless, he will be killed directly, which is really trouble-free! ”
Mulberry stopped all movements and sat on the ground as if stunned.
"Butler Fu, give her her brother, let them give them some silver to keep them away, I don't want to see them again!"
Steward Fu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Mu Qingya to choose to do this, he couldn't help but think that she was a little kind of woman, but she still obeyed the order and did what she said!
Mu Qingya led the two maids out of the small courtyard and quickly disappeared into the night!
"Ahh Sang Zhi screamed miserably, hugged his brother who was smiling stupidly, and lay on the ground crying hoarsely! The voice was full of despair and hatred, and it made people feel creepy!
Back in the room, Le Qi waited for Mu Qingya to freshen up: "Miss, if you let the Sangzhi sisters and brothers go like this, won't the person behind this be suspicious?" ”
"Suspicious?" Leaning on the head of the bed, Mu Qingya chuckled, "A chess piece has been used for more than ten years, and she is used to being obedient, and Steward Fu is also secretive, the person behind this will definitely not be suspicious, besides, isn't that mulberry branch going to come?" ”
Leqin was stunned: "Miss said she would come back?" ”
"Of course, being able to be valued at the age of ten to drug his mother, can this mulberry branch be an ordinary person? I'm afraid there is a lot of story behind this! What's more, ten deaf and nine dumb, this mulberry branch has normal hearing but is mute, which is unusual! ”
Leqin looked at her young lady with admiration: "Miss, you are so powerful, the slave maid is ten brains combined, and it can't compare to a single hair of yours!" ”
Mu Qingya's fingers moved slightly, and her expression was a little trance-like, as if the girl with a sweet smile appeared in front of her:
"The princess is so powerful, you have a hair that is smarter than the ten heads of the maidservant!"
"Miss?"
Mu Qingya came back to her senses and looked at Le Qin's eyes softened a lot: "Okay, you can rest early, you don't have to guard, by the way, let Le Qi tell Steward Fu, if Sang Zhi comes to her, help her secretly, don't let people find out her abnormality!" ”
"Yes, Miss rest early, slave and maid retire!"
The lights flickered slowly, and a tiny lamp popped out from time to time, and a soft sigh loomed: "Green kite......"
