Xu Ruoshui took a quick look, wasn't this Baolan? How could she come out of it? But what was even more surprising was what happened later. Baomei and Baozhu jumped out one after another, crying like ghosts and howling like wolves, "Madam, there is a ghost.
There’s a ghost in the backyard.”
"What nonsense are you talking about? Where is the ghost? Why don't you get out of here quickly?" Mrs. Meng saw that the three of them were exactly the same, and she banged her cane fiercely.
No wonder there was no one waiting in the house, it turned out to be the backyard.
"Really, madam, look..." The three maids rolled up their sleeves at the same time to show Mrs. Meng, regardless of whether there was a man present.
There were clearly visible blood marks on the three pairs of jade lotus-root-like arms. One by one, only marks but no blood were visible. It was not clear what kind of sharp weapon caused the injury.
"This was clearly done deliberately. You three are not allowed to talk nonsense." Mrs. Meng said sternly.
"Go and have a look." It was too weird. How could Mr. Meng let it go and said to Yu Wenjun, "Mr. Yu, please go back first. I have something to do at home, so I won't accompany you."
Yu Wenjun bowed and understood, and walked out the door.
Master Meng took the lead to the backyard. Mrs. Meng tried to stop her, but said to the three maids, "See if I don't skin you."
"Madam, please forgive me," Baozhu said aggrievedly, "It is true that a few black shadows came in and entangled some of the slaves. They disappeared in the blink of an eye, but the slaves felt a lot of pain in their bodies."
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Stop me quickly." Mrs. Meng saw that Mr. Meng had not yet entered the dark room in the yard, so she might be afraid of something inside.
The three maids also knew that they had just come out at the wrong time. Mrs. Meng asked them to stop the people, so they had no choice but to do it, "Master, maybe the slaves were wrong. You can go back and rest."
"What are these words?" Mr. Meng turned around and said with dark eyes, "You think I am a fool. I let you fool me and you don't light a lamp for me."
"Master, the girls are ignorant, so please stop trying to help me. I will go back with you to rest." Mrs. Meng reached out to hold Master Meng, but Master Meng threw her away and said, "Light the lamp."
"Woooooo~~~" There was a whimpering sound in the yard, which made people panic.
"I asked you to light the lamp, and you are all deaf..." Mr. Meng slapped the three maids. The three maids couldn't bear it and stumbled into the house. After a while, a bright light came from inside.
"Huh!" Mr. Meng rolled up his sleeves and walked in. This was to show off to Mrs. Meng.
Meng Tianbo and Xu Ruoshui followed in, but were so shocked by the scene inside that they were speechless. Zi Yan was helped on a wooden stake, with a handkerchief stuffed in her mouth, and she was speechless. She was wearing a middle coat, and her appearance was
It looked like there was no scar at all, but Zi Yan was shaking violently and was still sweating coldly. Her eyes were full of fear, and she looked begging when she saw Xu Ruoshui.
"Quickly, untie her quickly," Xu Ruoshui hurriedly stepped forward. Meng Tianbo saw this and went to help. Fortunately, he was there. The physical work of untying the rope had to be done by a man.
"Zi Yan," Xu Ruoshui took the scarf away, hugged her and asked, "Zi Yan, are you okay? Just talk."
"Young Master...Young Mistress...Slave..." Zi Yan was shaking like chaff, unable to speak a sentence.
"Now that the person is right in front of you, what else do you have to say?" Mr. Meng angrily asked Mrs. Meng who was at the door. Seeing that she showed no repentance, "I just asked Zi Yan to come and stay for one night. How could I?
Isn’t it okay for a lady to just ask a maid to stay for one night?”
"You...have someone like you stay overnight?" Master Meng accused, "She is Yu Wenjun's person now, you...you are simply unreasonable...why don't you stop Yu Wenjun quickly and ask him to
Take them back."
Xu Ruoshui suddenly felt something was wrong when he heard the words. Zi Yan couldn't stop shaking, and she didn't know if she was injured. "Dad, don't call me Mr. Yu just yet. How about we wait until tomorrow? Look at Zi Yan like this now.
You should quickly find a doctor to come over and take a look."
"Look at how confused I am," Mr. Meng stamped his feet and said, "Why are you still dazed? Please call me a doctor quickly."
"Yes, yes," Baoju responded repeatedly and ran out.
Mrs. Meng's anger rose sharply when she saw the situation, "Master, I'm just a maid, why do you need to be so angry? I am also the wife of the house after all, so can't I punish the maid if she does something wrong?"
"Okay, very good." Mr. Meng was so angry that he walked back and forth. "Then what did this maid do wrong today? Tell me what she did wrong and show her shame. I want to see if this maid deserves to be punished like this. Late Autumn,
You help Ziyan go to your yard first, and after seeing the doctor, come back here tomorrow morning, I have something to say."
"Yes, Dad." Xu Ruoshui tried his best to help Zi Yan, and Meng Tianbo took advantage of the opportunity to help. Their hands touched together. Xu Ruoshui felt a warmth, raised his eyes, glanced at Meng Tianbo, and helped Zi Yan out.
When they walked out of the backyard, they heard Mr. Meng yelling to Mrs. Meng, "What are you doing here? Why don't you get out of here quickly?"
As soon as they left the entrance of Chunhui Courtyard, they met Meng Tianqi and Fang Liying walking towards them.
"Second brother, you're here," Meng Tianbo said nonchalantly, "Hurry up and see mom. Daddy was very cruel to mom just now." After saying that, he gave way to Meng Tianqi, who frowned and looked at the three of them.
Individuals walked in, but Fang Liying greeted Xu Ruoshui and the others and followed them in.
Zi Yan was still arranged to live in the wing of Ningxiang Hall, and Dr. Zhou was still invited. After taking Zi Yan's pulse, he could not find any symptoms, "It's strange, her pulse is stable, she is not sick at all. Is it possible?"
What kind of strange and complicated disease is it?”
Even the doctor couldn't pull out the pulse. What exactly did Mrs. Meng do to Zi Yan? Xu Ruoshui shook his head in confusion.
"Young mistress, let them go out first," Zi Yan said weakly. "
Dr. Zhou was still talking about Zi Yan's illness and was a little reluctant to leave, but Meng Tianbo pushed him out, leaving Zi Yan and Xu Ruoshui talking.
"Young mistress, please help me untie my clothes," Zi Yan tried to untie her clothes but was unable to do so and was sweating profusely.
Xu Ruoshui nodded and helped her untie the belt of her middle coat. Zi Yan opened the dress herself and found a piece of gauze wrapped inside. Xu Ruoshui faintly smelled the fragrance of honey and said, "Get the scissors."
Xu Ruoshui went to the drawer to get the scissors. Following Zi Yan's instructions, she cut off the gauze wrapped around her body. A sticky piece wrapped around the opening of the scissors, which was honey!
Zi Yan pulled away the gauze, and her naked body was densely covered with small black dots. "Why are there so many ants?" Xu Ruoshui couldn't believe what she saw.
Zi Yan was bitten by these ants that clung to her body and she couldn't speak or move her hands. "I'll be fine if I just wash it." Without the restraints of the gauze, she felt much more comfortable.
