Chapter 726: The Eldest Prince Visits the Duke’s Mansion in Person
court death!
Lin Xiner followed the direction of the maid's strength and stepped back lightly, her body seemed to fall involuntarily.
However, she did not forget the maid when she fell. With a pull, the maid was thrown to the ground with her.
Compared to the maid, Lin Xiner couldn't bear even the slightest internal force she exerted. Her arm was caught by Lin Xiner in a "helpless" manner, and she couldn't even try to break free.
"ah--"
There was a scream in the hall.
The Duke's wife picked up the tea cup, lowered her eyes and pretended to drink tea, hiding her blindness. She had already planned to react slowly. Ouyang Mingyue could not hide her excitement. Looking around, her delicate little face suddenly appeared.
Stiffened.
"Mother!" Ouyang Mingyue shouted in a low voice.
The Duke's wife heard something strange and looked up.
I saw that it was not Lin Xiner who was thrown heavily to the ground, but the maid.
The maid just raised her head and was thrown so hard that her nose was bruised and her face was swollen, and a large pool of blood flowed from her nose.
How stupid is it to be able to calculate yourself when calculating others?
The poor maid who was waiting for a word from the Duke's wife didn't know that she was already deeply disliked by the Duke's wife.
And Lin Xiner...
Although he also fell to the side, he seemed to be fine. He slowly stood up from the ground alone, not forgetting to cover the trouser legs that he had inadvertently lifted up.
Due to the unexpected situation, Duke Ouyang, who was already in a bad mood, wanted to rebuke him, but when his eyes fell on Lin Xiner's half-exposed legs, he swallowed back all the words that came to his lips.
Even the Duke's wife was unable to speak for a while when she saw him.
"Ah...your legs!" Only Ouyang Mingyue reacted from the stiffness and screamed, as if she had witnessed something terrifying.
That leg had experienced three days and three nights of misery, leaving indelible marks that would change the color of anyone who saw it.
It's just that everyone behaves in different ways. Duke Ouyang and his wife chose to remain silent, and the servants on the side also refrained from saying anything. Only Ouyang Mingyue screamed desperately.
It was really noisy. Lin Xiner glanced at Ouyang Mingyue, who had an exaggerated expression, and said lightly, "I said, am I injured?"
Isn't this one of the purposes of the Duke's wife instigating that maid to do this?
However, this is the only goal she can achieve. As for further thoughts...
Lin Xiner lowered her eyes and glanced coldly at the maid lying on the ground.
What this maid suffered was light!
Her body has not fully recovered and she is pregnant, so it is inconvenient to take action, but it is more than enough to deal with a little maid and the vicious mother and daughter.
Miss Ouyang, I believe you are willing to have people help you seek justice.
"What a useless thing, why don't you get up!" At first, the Duke's wife only felt that the maid lying in the hall was embarrassing.
This was the girl next to her. She had made a fool of herself, and her master couldn't bear it. The other concubines who were sitting quietly watching the show in the hall must have been happy from the bottom of their hearts.
"Madam...slave..." The maid's pitiful tears flowed out.
She was in so much pain. She had never been hit since she was a child, but this hit was so hard that it felt like her bones were about to fall apart. Even the beating she received from the madam was not so severe.
She also wanted to stand up, but she couldn't get up at all. She was so afraid that her legs would break.
She obviously wanted to push the eldest lady, but she was pulled by the eldest lady who fell in panic. As a result, she fell so hard. She didn't know how she had so much strength. Instead, the eldest lady was safe.
nothing.
"You guys, drag her down!" the Duke's wife ordered the servants beside her.
"Miss, you are really lucky. Last time I was helped by this girl and my child was gone..."
The woman in her thirties, who was sitting to the side and remained silent, picked up the handkerchief and rubbed the corners of her eyes.
"What do you mean? Last time you fell by yourself, you insisted that I ordered someone to harm you. Fortunately, everyone's eyes were bright. Do you want to use Ming Lan to accuse me again this time? What happened just now
Everyone can see it clearly, please comment on this!" The Duke's wife asked sternly, then turned to the Duke and softened her voice, "Master, you also saw what happened just now..."
It turns out that the scene just now happened already...
Lin Xiner looked calmly at the aggrieved and tearful woman.
If it weren't for her extraordinary skills, she did fall down by herself "accidentally" this time. The maid's method of attack was obviously practiced and ingenious.
This is really a good trick, letting people get into trouble in front of so many pairs of eyes. Even though the victim knows the truth, no one will believe it when he tells it. Instead, he will be accused of using the topic to injure others.
The concubine of the Duke is a good example.
"Okay, don't hold on to the past and remember to be careful in the future."
Apparently, Duke Ouyang's eyes were "bright" as his wife said.
The concubine didn't dare to say anything more. Speaking of which, the eldest lady of the Duke's mansion was not as good as her in the palace. She still expected to rely on the eldest lady to seek justice for herself?
Although the maid's nose and face were bruised and swollen after being thrown, it was a relief, but she couldn't bear the loss of her child's life!
Thinking about it, the concubine could only keep wiping her tears.
"My aunt is in a bad mood, let her go down with me." Lin Xiner took the opportunity to say.
It is necessary to find someone on the same front in the Duke's Mansion. Although this concubine may not really fight side by side, but in the face of being able to help him relieve his hatred, he will definitely see her merits and lean towards her side.
"Okay, I will accompany the eldest lady to rest."
As expected, the concubine was also a person who understood everything at once. She stood up to express her position before the Duke and his wife could speak.
The other concubines were more or less jealous of the Duke's wife and did not dare to openly oppose her. However, this concubine had already broken up with the Duke's wife because of the miscarriage. She was isolated and helpless in the Duke's mansion. With the invitation of the eldest lady, although
He doesn't hold much weight in the Duke's palace, but he is more or less a companion.
Besides, wasn't the eldest lady brought back by the eldest prince?
It was just a small matter, and Duke Ouyang agreed without thinking. Although the Duke's wife wanted to object, the Duke nodded, and she could not say anything else.
Talking too much about some things will expose her flaws. For example, if she objects to the concubine being with the eldest lady at this time, doesn't it clearly prove that she has something secret in her heart and doesn't dare to let the two of them meet?
Not long after Lin Xiner left accompanied by the concubine, the Duke's Mansion received news that the eldest prince had arrived.
Speaking of which, Mo Zengye looked down on the incompetent disciples who relied on their ancestors' inheritance to support their reputation, and Ouyang Guogong was one of them. Therefore, after Mo Zengye returned to China, he visited many dignitaries privately, but never set foot in the Duke's mansion.
When he heard that the eldest prince was coming in person, Duke Ouyang did not dare to neglect him and hurriedly went out with the young and old in the house to welcome him.
