Chapter 53: Murder with a knife
Hua Rong was thrown into the waterhole in the back mountain by Li Xiangling.
In the past few days, the weather has been fine and warmed up a lot, but the water in the mountains is still bitterly cold, Hua Rong screamed, and stood up from the water and her teeth couldn't stop chattering.
The maid held a wooden stick in her hand, and did not allow Hua Rong to get close to the shore, forcing her to go to the deep water, leaving only her head outside.
Li Xiangling stood aside with a stove, and a small servant lit a fire and began to roast sweet potatoes.
The sweet taste of sweet potatoes soon spread, and Hua Rong couldn't help but lean forward, not hungry, but wanting a trace of warmth.
The mother-in-law closest to her immediately beat the water with a wooden stick and warned her to stand obediently and not to move.
Li Xiangling didn't mean to eat roasted sweet potatoes, she always only ate carefully cooked food, which was not worthy of her mouth at all.
The fire was burning so hard that the sweet potatoes were overroasted, and the sweet flavor turned into a burnt taste.
The little guy took out the sweet potatoes that had been burned into black charcoal and threw them to Hua Rong.
The sweet potatoes make a sizzling sound in the water and quickly lose their temperature.
Li Xiangling urged on the side: "Don't you like to eat this, why don't you eat it quickly?" ”
Li Xiangling's tone was very gloating, and he didn't treat Hua Rong as a human being at all, as if he was playing a dog.
Hua Rong had no power to fight back, and knew that no one would come to save her, so she could only lower her head and eat the sweet potato in her mouth and chew it slowly.
The burnt sweet potatoes were very bitter, so bitter that Hua Rong's eyes couldn't help but moisten a little bit.
Eating only one was not enough to make Li Xiangling angry, and Hua Rong ate a full eight before being let go.
Out of the pool, Hua Rong was pressed by the maid to bake clothes by the fire, Li Xiangling coldly warned: "Brother Ah Qian is about to come back for lunch, go back and serve well, if you dare to complain to Brother Ah Qiang, it won't be so simple as letting you eat, understand?" ”
Her stomach was swollen and hurt terribly, and Hua Rong replied with a white face: "Please rest assured, Second Miss, the slave understands." ”
After the clothes were dried, Hua Rong returned to the Zen courtyard, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, she couldn't help but rush to the corner and vomit.
The thing that spit out was pitch black, like ink, like a monster with teeth and claws, burrowing into her body and tearing her whole body apart.
After spitting up, Hua Rong carried a bucket of water, scrubbed the floor, and went to the kitchen to get food.
However, until the meal was cold, Jiang Yunqi did not come back.
Also, Xiao Mingyou has thoughts of suicide, how can she not accompany him more?
Hua Rong ate the cold food, drank another bowl of ginger soup, and began to sleep.
Her life is her master's, but her body is her own.
——
Jiang Yunxiao's dinner was also eaten with Xiao Mingyou.
Last night, he found Xiao Mingyou on the top of the back mountain, when she was standing on the edge of the cliff, her dress was blown by the mountain wind, and her body was very thin and thin, like a kite with a broken string, ready to fall at any time.
When he saw this scene, Jiang Yunhua's mind was blank, and even his heartbeat stopped for a few breaths, and when he came back to his senses, there was only one thought left.
Can't let her die!
Jiang Yunyu rescued Xiao Mingyou, and then found that there was a slender wound on her wrist.
The wound was a little deep, and it was clearly left by cutting the wrist, which confirmed Peach Blossom's words.
Xiao Mingyou's appetite was not good, so after only eating a few bites, he put down his chopsticks and said that he didn't want to eat.
Jiang Yunhua put a chopstick dish into her bowl, and gently persuaded, "Take another bite." ”
Xiao Mingyou refused, turned her head to look out the window, and said coolly: "It's late, Third Young Master Jiang, please go back, you don't have to come in the future, if you let people see it, it will damage the reputation of Third Young Master Jiang." ”
These words are not only alienated, but also a little depressed, as if there is nothing worthy of her nostalgia in this world.
Jiang Yunhua made a movement in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "I don't mind what others think." ”
"Third Young Master Jiang doesn't mind, but someone will," Xiao Ming smiled bleakly, "The concubine body is already used to the pure life in the temple, why does the third young master Jiang still come to tease the concubine?" ”
Jiang Yunhua pursed her lips, and Peach Blossom couldn't help but say, "Third Young Master Jiang, you have already harmed my princess once, you can't hurt her again, right?" ”
"Peach Blossom!"
Xiao Ming scolded slowly, Peach Blossom hurriedly knelt down, but she didn't stop, and said boldly: "The slave is telling the truth, if it weren't for the Third Young Master Jiang, the master would not have married the King of Qi, let alone ended up today, and now that the Third Young Master Jiang has a favorite in his heart, why should the master have to wronged himself for his sake?" ”
Xiao Mingyou didn't refute Peach Blossom's words, she didn't look at Jiang Yunhua with her face away, and said with restraint: "The wood is already in the boat, the concubine has not blamed anyone, Peach Blossom, send Jiang Third Young Master!" ”
After Xiao Mingyou finished speaking, she went to the inner room to rest, Jiang Yunyu was inconvenient to stay any longer, so she got up and left.
Xiao Mingyou's words have been echoing in Jiang Yunhua's ears, Peach Blossom carried a lantern to send him all the way, and when he was about to arrive at the Zen courtyard, he spoke: "Third Young Master Jiang, Fang is the slave and maid are overstepping, please Third Young Master Jiang Don't take the slave's words to heart, by the way, there is another incident that happened today, which is related to Miss Huarong, and the slave and maid don't know whether to talk about it." ”
Peach Blossom hesitated, Jiang Yunhua cut off his thoughts and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Peach Blossom opened her mouth, but she still wanted to speak and stopped, Jiang Yunhua frowned, and accentuated her tone: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”
"The slave maid went to wash her clothes today, and saw that Miss Huarong came back from the back mountain soaking wet, followed by Miss Li and a bunch of maids, who looked like they had been bullied."
"What did you say?"
There was a mangosteen planted in the temple, and there happened to be a clump of bamboo where the two were standing, and Hua Rong suddenly walked out from behind the bamboo, and Peach Blossom was startled, and couldn't control her screaming voice and asked, "What are you hiding here?" ”
Hua Rong shook the lantern in her hand, and said indifferently: "The slave maid saw that the young master had not come back, she was a little worried, and came out to look for it, just now the lantern was blown out by the wind, and the slave maid couldn't see the road clearly, and she walked out when she heard the sound of conversation." ”
Hua Rong said and felt out the fire fold to light the lantern, the dim halo reflected Peach Blossom's somewhat flustered face, and also illuminated Hua Rong's eyes, she put away the fire fold, looked at Peach Blossom and asked, "You just said that you saw the slave maid being bullied by the second lady of the Yong'an Hou Mansion?" ”
Jiang Yunling made a roasted sweet potato was told by Peach Blossom to Li Xiangling, when Li Xiangling bullied Hua Rong, Peach Blossom kept hiding in the dark and watching, Li Xiangling did not allow Hua Rong to sue, Peach Blossom wanted to tell Jiang Yunhua that he obviously wanted to get rid of Hua Rong by Li Xiangling's hand.
It's just that Peach Blossom didn't expect Huarong to hide here and listen to the corner, her face changed slightly, and she changed her words and said: "The slave just saw that the girl was a little embarrassed at the time, and guessed randomly, but she didn't see what happened with her own eyes." ”
Peach Blossom doesn't want to offend Li Xiangling by being a witness for Hua Rong, so how can she borrow a knife to kill people in the future?
Hua Rong's eyelids lifted slightly, and her eyes were fierce: "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, how dare you go to my young master to chew the root of your tongue?" ”
Peach Blossom retorted confidently: "The slave maid is also worried about Miss Huarong. ”
As soon as Peach Blossom finished speaking, she was slapped by Hua Rong!
