Chapter 31: Misunderstandings

"What are you waiting for, you guys hurry up. Before the little county lord's thoughts returned, he heard Mama Li say to the little maid and the mother-in-law: "Tie this cheap maid to the nail board, and let the county lord teach her a lesson." Before the words fell, Lin Niang shouted and crawled over on her knees, holding Mama Li's clothes tightly and begging.

The little county lord laughed sadly, tears flowed down, and he thought: "It's the same mother, Lin Niang protects Zining like this, but my mother and mother ignore me!" pretended to wipe it with his sleeve inadvertently, in case he was seen by the slaves.

I just didn't accept it in my heart, I was obviously the county lord who was favored by everyone, and the pearl of my father's palm, but why didn't I feel a trace of warmth. Seeing that Lin Niang is just a rough slave, but she really loves her daughter, Zi Ning is really good, so many people like her, as long as she stays in the palace for a day, it is a living mockery of the lord of the county.

"Yes!" A rough mother-in-law beside Mama Li agreed, and then dragged Zi Ning backwards and stuck it directly on the wooden nail board, and the other two mothers-in-law did not slack off a little strength, reached out and pressed Zi Ning tightly, and tied the wooden pillars on both sides with ropes.

"What are you going to do?" Zi Ning twisted left and right, no matter how she struggled, it was in vain, sweat flowed down her forehead and formed a waterline on both sides of her cheeks. The corners of the little county lord's mouth tightened, and the harder Zi Ning tried to break free, the more angry she became.

A sharp dagger was placed horizontally on the stone table, and the little county lord stood up leisurely, took the dagger in his hand, and deliberately walked in front of Zi Ning, the dagger cut through one of her cuffs, and then "hummed" and sneered.

Zi Ning instantly realized that she completely understood what she wanted to do, and her legs were weak in fright. She remembered the throwing knife game she had played before, and threw the dagger at the wooden board blindfolded, but she didn't expect the little county lord to want to use her as a live target!

"Ning'er, quickly admit your mistake to the county lord, the county lord, you have a lot, and you won't worry about a little slave!" Lin Chef Niang shouted as if she was crazy, the county lord beat or scolded Zi Ning, she could endure it, but now that she took out a knife, didn't she want Zi Ning's life?

The little county lord's face was angry, and his expression was even more unkind, no one around dared to step forward to stop her, Mama Li sneered proudly on the side, and actually connived. Lin Niang thought to herself: "Zining's life is so bitter, she has been poisoned many times, if she dies here today, she doesn't have to live, the mother and daughter go together, and there is a companion on Huangquan Road, and she won't be lonely." ”

Seeing that the little county lord insisted on this, Lin Niang cried loudly: "Ning'er is not afraid, A-Niang is here, Ning'er who is with me horizontally and vertically!"

The slaves and maidservants holding lamps next to them all showed unbearable looks, but they didn't dare to step forward to help them up. Everyone knew that Zi Ning was wrong, just because she was too smart and well-behaved, which made the eldest princess happy, but attracted the jealousy of the little county lord and a group of slaves. Knowing this, Lin Niang should not have let her daughter be so outstanding, and the children of small families would hide in the dining room for a lifetime as errands, and they would not have to worry about being afraid.

All the slaves and maids who were waiting were discouraged, it can be seen that this talent and appearance should not be what a lowly maid should have, and now because of her talent, she has ruined a life, is it worth it or not? Poor Lin Niang married the eldest princess, and served carefully for a lifetime, but in the end let her daughter lose her life in vain.

The eldest princess and the prince have always treated their subordinates leniently, if they didn't make a big mistake, there were few beatings and scolding, but in the past two years, the little county lord has been a little older, and his temperament has gradually risen, and there is a slave and maid next to him to fan the flames, which actually fuels her arrogance and punishes her subordinates at every turn.

The prince doesn't care about these trivial matters, and the eldest princess has to take care of her body, so she rarely asks about the little princess. These days have made everyone frightened, and they are also acting in fear, and they feel that it is difficult to spend more than one day in the palace.

Seeing that Lin Niang was about to faint crying, Zi Ning was so anxious that she bit her lip tightly, stared at the little county lord with her eyes, and said: "I know that the county lord has a merciful heart, although it is not enough to kill people, but people cannot be resurrected after death, it is easy for the county lord to kill me, but it is difficult to regret it." The eldest princess must not want the county lord to have blood on his hands, the county lord should be happy and live at the same age as the flower of the county lord, why can't she put aside the grudges in her heart......"

As soon as the words fell, the little county lord shouted: "Shut up for me! With you in the palace for a day, I can't live happily! You are very hard, I really want to see if you are hard or this knife is hard, will it hurt if you stab it into your body?"

As he spoke, the little county lord dangled the dagger in front of Zi Ning, the light of the morning light came out little by little, and the knife was shining brightly, making her eyes hurt.

Zi Ning was silent for a long time, and said coldly: "What kind of crime do I have, to put it bluntly, you are jealous of me." So even if you kill me at this moment, you'll lose!" I want to bow my head to this stinky girl with a small belly and chicken intestines, this girl is not so unproductive.

"You-" The little county lord turned pale with anger, almost going crazy, and shouted loudly: "I didn't lose, this county lord can't lose to you a cheap!"

Seeing that her hand holding the knife was shaking, Zi Ning glanced at it and said disdainfully: "I thought that the county lord was a golden branch and jade leaf, even if he had a bad temper, after all, his heart was different from that of an ignorant slave, and he should be more or less tolerant." It's a pity that the county lord has let me down. ...... Hmph, the eldest princess is so noble and graceful, how can she give birth to a daughter but she is so petty!"

The little county lord's eyes turned red, and he trembled his lips and said, "You, you actually dare to scold me......? I'm going to kill you!"

Zi Ning looked at her pitiful appearance, just a willful little girl, and thought: "It would be nice if I knew how to work hard, I had to teach this ignorant little girl a lesson all over the place." She thought it was great to be the lord of the county, this girl came through time, and she had a thousand years of more knowledge than her!

The little county lord calmed down for a long time, and gradually regained his indifferent expression, staring directly at Zi Ning, the blade of the dagger touched her face little by little, making Zi Ning's cold hair stand up all over her body.

She didn't want to look at the shiny dagger, tilted her head to the side, and said in a disdainful tone: "I thought that the county lord could have any ability, but it was just a little trick. ”

Suddenly, she had the illusion of dizziness, as if she saw a little blood flower on her eyebrows, like bright red petals, falling with the wind one by one, dotted on the black mud ground, and the flowers were all the same shocking.

"Bold! You cheap maid dare to be disrespectful to the county lord, this grandmother will teach you a good lesson today! Come on, first slap your mouth twenty boards, let this sharp-toothed dare to speak wildly......" Before the words fell, a mother-in-law had already come up, pinching Zi Ning's face fiercely, and another mother-in-law brought a board with a slap mouth, and was about to hit her in the face.

The little county lord suddenly shouted: "Slow! None of you are allowed to interfere in the grievances between this county lord and her!" She looked up at Zi Ning and said: "This county lord is now treating his body in the way of others, you make my heart hurt every day, and I will also make you feel pain! Yesterday you seduced Brother Jixian, and the county lord saw it all, and now you teach the fox a lesson openly, so that you can understand that the county lord disdains and envy you!"

Zi Ning's face was relieved, and she thought: "This is like the temperament that a county lord should have, as long as she is not a villain, I don't have to be afraid of anything." But she said that I was a fox and a charmer, and she seduced her brother, but she wronged me. ”

Raising his eyes, he saw that the little county lord was sad, and there was infinite grievance and sadness, and suddenly heard her say faintly: "The county lord really can't think clearly, obviously I am the county lord of the palace, and the stars have held the moon since I was a child, why did I meet you? I am the county lord of the palace, and I enjoy endless glory and wealth, how can I not fight you as a cheap woman!"

The more the little county lord spoke, the more angry he became, the veins in his right hand holding the dagger were protruding, and the green tendons on his neck were clearly visible.

"Stop!" Suddenly there was an angry roar, which frightened everyone, the little county lord was stunned for a moment, and when he turned around, it was Aunt Xu, who was coming in a hurry, her forehead was covered with sweat, and her face was flushed.

Zi Ning's face turned pale, she clenched her teeth to endure the pain, lifted her breath and relieved herself, activated her internal qi strength, protected her heart, and then stopped the bleeding from the wound. I thought: "My God, fortunately, I know a little kung fu, and my life can be saved!"

The little county lord looked directly at Aunt Xu, his eyes were covered with a thick mist, and he couldn't understand why she suddenly appeared, wasn't she in the palace with her mother, it was still early at this time, she shouldn't have come back so soon.

Aunt Xu's sudden appearance caught her off guard, and she turned her head coldly to look at Zi Ning tied to the pillar, and she didn't feel gloomy in her heart, she was always so lucky, she was about to win a game of chess, and at the last moment she lost it all.

The slaves and maids were surprised by Aunt Xu's appearance, and when they saw that her face was angry and hateful, they all quietly shrunk their necks, lest Aunt Xu be angry and take them out of anger. These slaves and maids are also extremely aggrieved, and they don't want to be accomplices of the little county lord, but they don't dare to disobey the master's will, and they are really in a dilemma.

Mama Li's eyes were sharp, and she found the green ring following behind Aunt Xu, guessing that it was the green ring that reported the news, and with a sour tone on her mouth, she muttered in a low voice: "The old slave just said, there can't be such a coincidental thing, there are really people who go to detain the gods." ”

Aunt Xu glared at her fiercely, and walked straight towards the little county lord, it was not that she didn't hear Mama Li's nagging, but there was nothing more important than saving Zining now.

"County Lord, what are you doing?" Walking to the little county lord, Aunt Xu said with a straight face, snatching the murder weapon in her hand.

"You don't have to worry about it!" The little county lord was angry, and Aunt Xu's action made her even more angry, "I'm just teaching a girl, and also working on my aunt's big drive?" Auntie just came back from the palace, let's go and rest, and leave everything here to me." ”

Her cold eyes fell on Zi Ning, wishing that Zi Ning would die now, she knew very well that as long as Zi Ning was in one day, her position would be in jeopardy.

"County Lord, you can be as willful as you are on weekdays, but you will make trouble like this today, the eldest princess is not allowed to rely on the identity of the county lord to behave in the mansion and joke about the lives of slaves and maids at will. Aunt Xu was anxious, and she reprimanded her and persuaded her.

Although her status in the palace is high, the county lord is the master after all, and there is a difference between high and low. Fortunately, the county lord didn't kill anyone, if Zi Ning accidentally died, not only would the eldest princess be heartbroken, but even she would have to live with guilt in her life.

Aunt Xu looked at Zi Ning and saw that her face was pale and bloodless, sweat soaked the hair on both sideburns, and a ball of blood oozed from her right abdomen, which was obviously injured by the county lord's dagger. ————
