In the back garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a hundred flowers bloom, the breeze gusts, all kinds of flowers follow the wind, nodding one after another, in the back half of the back garden, is a large lotus pond, the pond is driven by a winding bridge, and there is a pavilion for tasting tea and enjoying flowers.

Situ Xuanao sat in the open space next to the lotus pond, without any expression on his face.

When the slightly older maid knelt and begged for mercy, a look of disgust flashed on Situ Xuanao's face, he squinted at the person who was kowtowing on the ground, let out a cold snort from his nose, and said sarcastically: "Hmph! After following me for so many years, you don't even know what you have done wrong, and you don't know what kind of things you will make me angry!

"Your Excellency...... My lord...... The villain really doesn't know......" The older maid saw that Situ Xuanao was very angry now, but what kind of thing could she do to make him so angry!

She really can't figure it out!

"I don't know ......" Situ Xuanao leaned back in his chair and looked up at the sky, it was already close to dusk at this time, and there were a few white clouds floating in the dim sky, "Let me ask you, who is the person who bullied Yin Miaoyi? Who was the idea of not letting her eat a full meal, or even not giving her food, and who did it? Who is the person who left her work to do! Who is spreading the word that I have special treatment for Yin Miaoyi! If you can answer these questions, I may be able to go around you!"

After Situ Xuanao finished speaking, he lowered his head, and his sharp eyes shot directly at the old maid, only to see that the maid was stunned unexpectedly at first, and then lowered her head, her eyes rolled around, and she was very weak at first glance.

"What, can't you answer?" Situ Xuanao leaned forward, pressed one hand on the handle of the chair, and put the other hand on his knee, staring at her sharply, making the maid shrink back, and then the whole person stuck to the ground, and pleaded loudly: "Adult, the little one knows that it is wrong, and the little one knows that it is wrong...... You adults have a lot, let the small one have a way to live, and the small one will not dare to ...... next time"

"Oh, don't you dare?" Situ Xuanao sneered, then shook his head and said, "In my Situ Xuanao, everyone only has one chance, no second time!"

After speaking, he looked up to the guards opposite, and saw that among the guards who had been standing side by side, a person came out and threw two things in front of the old maid.

The maid looked down at the two things, one was a whip and the other was a rope.

She didn't understand what this meant, so she raised her head and looked at Situ Xuanao.

And at this time, the maids who were all scrambling one by one just now all shrank there, bowed their heads, didn't dare to say a word, and their whole bodies trembled.

Because several of them have also discovered that there is no one left who is not good to Yin Miaoyi in everything, and all of them are here.

They just like to rely on their seniority to bully newcomers, I don't know how many people have been bullied by them in recent years, and there are even those who finally died, but these things have been done in a good way, and no one will ask, let alone care about the life and death of a maid.

After a long time, their courage has become bigger and bigger, especially this time, Yin Miaoyi, a girl who has just entered the mansion, has been favored by Situ Xuanao, and when she came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she assigned such a good room to her.

They are not convinced!

That's why they will unite and deal with Yin Miaoyi together.

To be honest, because Yin Miaoyi was the one who dangled in front of Situ Xuanao every day, they didn't dare to cause some external injuries to her, so they thought of other ways to rectify her.

But I never thought that this incident would make Situ Xuanao so angry! This time it really stabbed the hornet's nest.

"Whip or rope, you can choose one yourself!" Situ Xuanao's voice was very flat, and he couldn't hear any angry feeling, "Because you are the oldest and have served me the longest, I will give you a privilege to choose first! If you choose one of them, then they can only accept the same punishment!"

"This ......" The older maid looked at the two things in front of her, the whip, which is understandable, it will hurt to smoke it on the body. As for the rope, what is the use of the rope!

"I, I'll choose the rope,......," said the older maid, reaching out and grabbing the rope.

"Rope?" Situ Xuanao's face suddenly showed a contemptuous smile, "Aren't you people like sisters on weekdays? Why did you leave them with the opportunity to be whipped at a critical moment?"

"Didn't the adults let me choose?" the older maid looked at Situ Xuanao.

"That's right, I let you choose for yourself!" Situ Xuanao finished speaking, and raised his hand with a wave, "Go ahead, let her know what this rope is used for!"

"Yes!" As soon as Situ Xuanao's words fell, three subordinates walked over, pulled up the maid and pushed it in the direction of the lotus pond.

When they came to the edge of the lotus pond, one of them tied one end of the rope to the old girl's ankle, and the other end was pulled by the other two people.

"It's ...... What is this for......" The maid looked at all this in panic, and then looked at the lotus pond, she seemed to have the answer in her heart, so she hurriedly shouted: "My lord...... My lord, I choose the whip, I choose the whip!"

Situ Xuanao acted as if he hadn't heard anything, then picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, while Xiao Qi, who was standing on the side, gave the three subordinates a look.

The three servants then moved and threw the old maid's head into the lotus pond.

"Don't, don't...... Ahh

The older maid screamed, and at last all her cries were drowned in the water of the lotus pond, and nothing could be heard.

The other end of the rope was tightly pulled by the three men, and it was almost time before they pulled the maid up.

The maid gasped for breath, she had been pulled up by these men just when she thought she was going to die, but if she thought that her punishment was here, then she was very wrong!

She didn't have to catch her breath before she was thrown into the lotus pond again, and so it did so repeatedly.

Seeing this scene, those maids were so frightened that they all collapsed there, and they didn't dare to come out.

"Rest assured, you will not be thrown into the lotus pond to suffer, and what will be left for you is the whip. ”

Situ Xuanao said slowly, so he put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, and said to Xiao Qi behind him: "Let's go, I still can't see the slightest blood." ”

"Yes. Xiao Qi replied, and followed Situ Xuanao out of the back garden.

It wasn't until Situ Xuanao's figure disappeared into the back garden that those subordinates walked up to those maids with long whips in their hands, raised their whips high, and swung them down fiercely.

Suddenly, the back garden was like a mass grave of wild ghosts, and the ghosts cried wolf.

Situ Xuanao only gave an order to punish, but he didn't give an order to stop it, so these people all knew that these maids were afraid that they would not survive.

If they were not tortured to death, Situ Xuanao's mood would not be calm.

Unconsciously, the moonlight quietly climbed up, and Situ Xuanao, who was sitting in Yin Miaoyi's boudoir, began to be a little irritable, and the lamp on the table danced with a dim candle flame, stretching his shadow very long and imprinting it on the wall.

He sat in his chair like that, staring motionless at the man in front of him.

The porridge at hand is a little cold.

Yin Miaoyi changed into dry clothes, lying in the futon, feeling very warm, in a daze, she dreamed that she was standing at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, everything in the Prime Minister's Mansion was the same as before, the subordinates were still those subordinates, the stewards were still those stewards, and even the maids who served her were still the same.

Then she saw her father come out of it, and smiled and said something to her, but she could not hear anything, so she could only take a step and run in his father's direction.

But the more he ran, the farther away his father became, and she couldn't get close to him anyway.

"Daddy...... Father...... Don't you go...... Daddy......"

As soon as she was excited, Yin Miaoyi shouted. Then he opened his eyes suddenly, gasping for breath, and stared at the ceiling for a long time without reacting.

And Situ Xuanao, who was sitting on the side, suddenly came to his senses, he saw that Yin Miaoyi was awake, so he stood up and walked over, with a happy smile on his face, and asked softly, "Are you awake, do you feel better?"

As he spoke, he reached out and touched her forehead, where there were still fine beads of sweat.

Yin Miaoyi, who reacted, found that the person standing next to the bed was Situ Xuanao, startled, hurriedly sat up, pulled the quilt, hurriedly went to the ground, knelt on the ground with a puff, begged for mercy vigorously, and said, "My lord...... I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean to...... You can punish me however you want...... Please don't hurt my daddy......"

Situ Xuanao's hand hanging in the air froze there, and the smile that was still showing because of joy just now instantly froze, he withdrew his hand, straightened up, looked at Yin Miaoyi with lowered eyes, and said coldly: "With this weak body, I don't even have the interest of torturing you!"

Listening to Situ Xuanao's words, Yin Miaoyi chuckled in her heart, hurriedly raised her head, and looked at Situ Xuanao, those pure eyes, innocently open, she didn't know what to do to make Situ Xuanao happy.

"Let's take care of your body first!" Situ Xuanao avoided Yin Miaoyi's eyes, turned around and walked out the door, and when he passed by the table, he paused for a moment and whispered, "Drink this bowl of porridge." ”

After saying that, he pushed the door and walked out.

Yin Miaoyi, who was kneeling on the ground, had a dumbfounded expression on her face, she was too scared just now, and now she thinks about it carefully, could it be that when she was unconscious, Situ Xuanao had been waiting here for her to wake up?

Also, the bowl of porridge on the table was also specially made for her by the people he ordered?

Thinking of this, Yin Miaoyi blushed inexplicably......
