Chapter 23: A moment of confusion
"Spring peach?"
Lin Xiyue's gaze was faint, and it fell on the kneeling person in front of her.
Several people nodded like garlic.
"Did anyone see where Chun Tao went?"
She spoke softly, her eyes as sharp as a knife, and no one dared to look directly into her gaze.
"Slave, slave just saw Chun Tao leave through the side door!"
A servant girl standing trembled and said, lest she was not satisfied with her answer, so she was whipped by Lin Xiyue.
Lin Xiyue bowed: "Got it." ”
His eyes turned to Xia He again, obviously there was a smile on his face, but he had a feeling of not being angry and arrogant.
"Sell all these people, and I don't want to eat anything outside of the inside here."
The words were loud, and the faces of the kneeling people turned pale in an instant.
"Miss Lin, we are also bewitched by traitors, please spare us this time."
"Please......"
"Miss, we don't dare anymore."
There was a burst of crying in the courtyard and grabbing the ground, but Lin Xiyue took Xiao Linluo without even looking at it.
Xia He naturally listened to his master's words, and looked at those people with cold eyebrows: "You know Miss Qiu now, why didn't you want to think about what happened today when you stole her jewelry to bring it?" ”
Those people bowed their heads guiltily, and their faces were decayed.
And Lin Xiyue returned to the front yard, but Mama Gui and Baoxiu were still in place, and they didn't dare to leave when they saw that she didn't come back.
It's just that Baoxiu's eyes are full of resentment.
Lin Luo's eyes met Shang Baoxiu's eyes, and he grabbed Lin Xiyue's sleeve in fright and whispered: "Sister, her eyes are so scary." ”
Lin Xiyue saw that she scared her younger brother, her face suddenly turned cold, and she flung a whip over: "Collect your gaze, do you think you are not wrong at all?" ”
Baoxiu screamed in pain, blood lingered down her arm, and her voice was full of unwillingness: "What do you want me to do?" The bracelet was also returned to you, and my mother and I were also beaten by you! ”
"That's because you don't distinguish between master and servant, and you want to ride on the head of your master, and someone will come and sell them both."
The girl had a cold cream on her face and a tough tone.
"No! I am a subordinate of the palace! You don't have that qualification! ”
When Mama Gui saw this posture, her heart completely swelled with fear, and she roared.
"Really? Then I'll ask the prince to come. Lin Xiyue hooked her lips, not afraid at all.
"You don't have to ask this king."
A clear voice came from behind her, and Lin Xiyue looked back at Ji Xishen's smiling eyes.
"Brother!"
Lin Xiyue's fair face suddenly smiled, and her eyes shone like stars, completely missing the appearance of Shura just now.
As if they were taken away in an instant, the people around them who saw this scene were silent and bowed their heads one after another.
Ji Xishen's gaze fell on her blood-stained long whip, and her eyes were slightly deep.
Just now, he had already learned from his subordinates about everything Lin Xiyue had done in the palace this morning.
This sister turned out to be more and more unexpected to him.
"Lord Wang, please save us!"
"Lord Wang, Miss Lin, she wants to sell us!"
Baoxiu's hair was scattered, and his face was still stained with blood, and when he saw Ji Xishen's eyes brightened, he saw a dog with flesh and bones running towards him.
It's just that before he got close, he was waved back by Ji Xishen's secret guard with a sword.
The man didn't look at Baoxiu, but looked at Mama Gui not far away, and his voice was cold: "Mama Gui, although you are an old man in the palace, the palace has never been merciful, you stole the master's things, and you should be punished." ”
"The one hundred and ten taels of silver you moved before licked your husband's debts, and this king didn't want to deal with you, but you violated the bottom line again and again."
His words really brought Mama Gui into the underworld.
Her already flabby face showed a look of horror, she had never known that the lord's family knew about her embezzlement of the royal money, and she had always been complacent.
Mama Gui knelt on the ground in a panic: "Lord Wang, the old slave is a ghost for a while......"
Ji Xishen stopped looking at her, waved his sleeves, and Mama Gui and Baoxiu were immediately taken away.
The smile on Lin Xiyue's face deepened, and she hugged Lin Luo and came to him: "It's still my brother's words, and I don't listen to what I say." ”
"It's my brother who didn't think it through, let my subordinates inform me now, and they will see you like me in the future."
Ji Xifeng's handsome face showed a hint of apology.
"Then Xiyue thanked my brother."
Lin Xiyue didn't mean to be so, but she didn't intend to be polite to him, she knew that if she wanted to survive in the palace in the future, the first thing was to let these slaves understand who was the master.
Now with Ji Xishen's assurance, coupled with her today's example of killing chickens and monkeys.
In the future, if someone wants to bully her again, they will have to see if the whip in her hand agrees or not.
"I have just asked my subordinates to find out the news, and the spring peach in your courtyard has returned to the Lin family."
Ji Xishen looked at her and said softly.
Lin Xiyue naturally wanted to investigate Chun Tao's escape, but she didn't expect Ji Xishen to move so fast.
Feeling that he was thinking about himself, Lin Xiyuexing's eyes widened, revealing a shallow smile: "Thank you, brother!" ”
