Chapter 017: Things Reversed
Xiao Xi was slightly startled, her face became more and more pale, and when she saw the words on the puppet, the whole person was completely stunned, "No...... Impossible...... Impossible......"
"The hatred in your heart is so deep that even your father is ...... You've disappointed me so much! The old lady pointed at Xiao Xiwei, and the suppressed anger in her chest made her speechless.
"It's not me! Grandmother! I didn't do it! You have to trust me! Xiao Xiwei rushed over and grabbed the hem of the old lady's skirt and cried sadly.
"Second Miss, the words on this puppet can clearly be your words!" Mama Zhu, who was beside the Li family, lost no time in interjecting.
"Nope! I didn't write it! Xiao Xi suddenly seemed to remember something, she hurriedly looked up at the old lady and said, "Grandmother, I didn't write this word, I accidentally burned my arm when I drank tea, and I couldn't hold the pen at all...... Yes, someone is trying to frame me! Grandmother! With that, she hurriedly stood up, reached out and lifted the sleeve of her right hand, only to see that there was a thick layer of gauze wrapped around the arm, because she was wearing a wide sleeved robe, so it was not visible.
Li's eyelids jumped suddenly, how could there be this one?
Li glanced at Mama Cui without a trace.
Mama Cui's face was also full of surprise, as if she only knew that Xiao Xiwei was injured.
If she was so hurt that she couldn't even write, then Mama Cui should know? Besides, she has been sending people to keep an eye on Shu Yingxuan's movements, if she is really injured so badly, she should naturally ask a doctor to come and take a look, but she hasn't seen any doctor enter the mansion in the past few days?
Thinking of this, Li Shi stepped forward with concern and said, "Wei'er, how can you tell your mother about you after you have been injured for so long, and your mother can also ask the doctor to come and take a look at you, what if the wound is infected and there is a scar in the future?" Gui Zhi, quickly take my post and invite Dr. Zhang from the south of the city. ”
As soon as Li's words fell, Hongyu beside Xiao Xiwei turned pale and knelt down in a panic, "Madame...... forgiveness"
"What are you doing here?" Li Shi stared at Hongyudao suspiciously.
Hongyu became more and more frightened, "The wound on Miss's hand is a slave...... It was accidentally scalded by the slave maid, but the young lady was afraid that if she asked the doctor to let the lady know, the slave and maid would be sold, so she ...... That's why I kept it a secret...... But madam, I, I don't mean to......"
"Red Rain ......" Xiao Xi looked at the red rain slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Li Shi still had doubts in her heart, but at this time, a little girl would suddenly jump out to excuse Xiao Xiwei, which made her settle down at once. If it weren't for a ghost, why would this little girl jump out and want to stop her cousin?
"Bold girl! Do you know that it is a great sin for you to help the young lady deceive this! If you mistake the young lady, you will die and will not be able to atone for your sins! Li Shi shouted loudly, and at the end, he turned his head to look at Gui Zhi and said, "What are you still doing in a daze, and you don't want to invite Dr. Zhang here." ”
Xiao Xi lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the Li family's pride, who even forgot to pretend to be sick at the moment, and a sneer flashed in his heart.
It seems that she really thinks that she is guilty.
She remembered that at this time in her previous life, she was torn off by the ruffian in Chao'an Temple by the Li family one after another, and then fell into Li Po's arms in the Li Mansion in full view of everyone and was punished by Xiao Yan and imprisoned in the ancestral hall for a month, and soon after, a Dao Gu suddenly came to the door and said that there was something dirty in the house, and then this Dao Gu led everyone to dig out a puppet full of silver needles from the plum tree in her yard, and the eight characters on the puppet were her father Xiao Yan's, and the words on the puppet were her handwriting, Even she couldn't tell why. At that time, everyone thought that she cursed her father because she was punished for kneeling in the ancestral hall a while ago, and her father Xiao Yan was even more furious, so he gave her a slap in the face and used family law, if it weren't for the intercession of the fourth prince Chu Yanzhi, I was afraid that she would be beaten to death at the moment. And a year later, not long after she married into the Four Princes' Mansion, her father Xiao Yan suddenly fell ill and died, and the Li family spread everywhere that she had committed a crime and killed her parents...... At that time, she still remembered that Chu Yanzhi hugged her and said that he didn't care about anything, but in the end, she ......
Thinking of this, Xiao Xi slowly closed his eyes, trying his best to suppress the infinite anger and resentment that poured out of his chest.
One day, she will definitely make these people who hurt her pay the price they deserve.
When he opened his eyes again, Xiao Xiwei's eyes had returned to calm.
Now that she has started all over again, she naturally will not let history repeat itself! Didn't Li say that she had a vicious heart and cursed people with witchcraft? Then today, she will use this witchcraft to let her take a good look!
After a pillar of incense, Gui Zhi brought Dr. Zhang over, along with Xiao Xiwei's father Xiao Yan.
"Sir, you're here." As soon as he saw Xiao Yan, Li hurriedly greeted him.
Xiao Yan didn't look at the Li family, and walked in front of Xiao Xiwei in a few steps and raised his hand to slap him, "Evil animal, how could I give birth to your disobedient and unfilial daughter!" ”
"Father......" Xiao Xiwei knelt on the ground with a 'plop', and the tears of grievance fell straight down.
"Well, that's not settled yet." Looking at the bright red palm prints on Xiao Xiwei's face, the old lady frowned and spoke.
After the initial shock and anger, the old lady had calmed down and thought about the things before and after, and suddenly found that there were many things wrong.
"Master, let's let the doctor take a look at Wei'er's injury first." Li Shi was also busy pretending to come forward to persuade.
Xiao Yan snorted coldly, flicked his long sleeves, and sat on the chair angrily.
The corners of Li's mouth raised slightly, then turned his head to look at Dr. Zhang, and said earnestly, "Doctor Zhang, my family has been scalded by tea for several days, but I am afraid that we are worried that we have been busy and have not invited the doctor to take a look, and I would like to ask you to take a look at my family Wei'er to see if the wound is infected." ”
Li's words are full of needles, which clearly implies that everyone is not sick and pretending to be sick.
After Li's words, Dr. Zhang walked up to Xiao Xiwei and confessed to her, and then carefully removed the gauze on her arm.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Xiwei's arm at this moment.
Finally, the gauze faded, and the large red and swollen skin was exposed, and there were some cracked blisters in the middle, which made it unbearable to look at directly. And when Li saw the exposed skin, his eyes were about to fall out.
How can it be! How could it be!
"Second Miss, you have been burned for a few days, fortunately there is no infection, wait for the old man to prescribe a few more pairs of medicines for Miss, and then prescribe some ointment for burns, just apply it for a few days. However, you should be careful not to touch the water on weekdays, and do not make big moves. Dr. Zhang said and quickly prescribed medicine.
Now that the matter has come to this, the old lady has probably understood a little, her cold eyes swept over the Li family, but because of the presence of Dr. Zhang, she had to suppress the anger in her chest, "Trouble Dr. Zhang." Mama Liu, send Dr. Zhang out for me. The old lady asked Mama Liu to take the money and sent Dr. Zhang out.
Li was frightened by the old lady's glance, no, the old lady suspected that it was her......
"Bold girl, what is the crime of injuring Miss like this, and instigating Miss not to invite a doctor! Come on, drag this girl out and kill her with a cane! Seeing that things had changed, Li Shi hurriedly turned his gaze to Hongyu, who was still kneeling on the ground.
"Grandmother, you can't blame Hongyu for this, if I hadn't touched her hand, she wouldn't have accidentally poured tea on my hand. Besides, Hongyu has been waiting by my side since he was a child, no matter how big or small, he has never made a mistake, and he also asked his grandmother to spare Hongyu once in front of her granddaughter. Xiao Xi knelt down slightly, and while kneeling, she quietly raised her eyes and looked at Mama Liu beside the old lady.
Mama Liu was stunned for a moment, and then whispered to the old lady, "Old lady, although Hongyu is at fault, she has been waiting in front of the second miss since she was a child, and the two have a deep relationship, otherwise the second miss will not hide her injury for fear that she will be punished. ”
The old lady twisted her eyebrows, "Drag her out, and punish her with thirty boards." ”
"Grandmother......" Xiao Xiwei also wanted Biyun to intercede.
"Old lady, the slave is willing to be punished." Hongyu interrupted Xiao Xiwei's words, she kowtowed three times to the old lady, then raised her face and looked at Xiao Xiwei with teary eyes, "Miss, you are good to the slave maid, the slave maid will remember it in her heart for the rest of her life." With that, she walked out of the yard without looking back.
"Red Rain." Xiao Xi looked at Hongyu's back, and a layer of mist suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Grandmother, father, although Wei'er is sometimes ignorant, she will never do such a rebellious thing, and please ask grandmother and father to return Wei'er's innocence." Xiao Xi said slightly, and kowtowed three times to the old lady.
"Layue, go and help the second lady up!" The old lady stretched out her hand to hold the beads in her hand, and a cold chill gradually enveloped her body.
The old lady has seen a lot of the battle in the back house, but she didn't expect that someone would use such a dirty method today. Her face was gloomy and she swept towards the Li family, "Do you see that the peaceful days of the mansion have passed for too long, and you have to make some moths?" ”
Li Shi was stunned, first surprised and then extremely aggrieved and knelt down, "Mother, I don't know what my daughter-in-law did to make you angry?" ”
The old lady snorted coldly, "Do you have to wait for me to call someone to call Dr. Zhang back to check your pulse before you are willing to tell the truth?" ”
"Mother...... You, are you doubting me? Li's tears welled up at once, seeing that Li was unmoved, he moved his gaze to Xiao Yan again, and said aggrieved and sad, "Master, isn't it, even you don't believe me......"
Xiao Yan stared at Li with a gloomy look in his eyes, as if he wanted to dig a hole in her body, "You say, what the hell is going on?" ”
"Master, why don't you ...... You don't believe me either! Over the years, I have been wholeheartedly to you, you are my husband, and I have relied on you all my life, how could I be stupid enough to do such a thing? Li pulled the corner of Xiao Yan's robe and whimpered.
Xiao Yan's face softened slightly.
At this time, Mama Liu suddenly stepped forward and said, "Old lady, can the slave and maid say more." ”
