"Jian Wu." As soon as Mu Qingyang walked out, Mrs. Lin greeted her with a worried look on her face. However, this look was just pretentious in his eyes. Thinking of the delicate body lying inside, he
The heartache was unbearable and he slapped Ms. Lin hard on the cheek, knocking her to the ground.
Mrs. Lin opened her eyes wide and looked at Mu Qingyang in disbelief. She never thought that her husband would treat her like this, and he would severely condemn her without even giving her a chance to explain.
She trembled all over and stared at the closed door. She didn't know what Xia said to the master that made him so angry, but she knew very well that if she didn't defend herself,
She is really finished.
"I just lost my child. I understand how sorry I am. If hitting me can make me calm down, I won't complain at all." Her hair was messy, the corners of her mouth were flushed, and half of her face was flushed.
She was so swollen that Lin had never been so embarrassed, but she didn't care about her appearance at all. She just lowered her head and sobbed lowly, but she didn't defend herself, but magnanimously allowed herself to be beaten and scolded.
Liu Yun's eyes flashed slightly and she looked at Mrs. Lin steadily. She was really smart and knew that retreating in order to arouse her father's sympathy. A woman who has always been proud suddenly acts like a little wife, which is the most affectionate thing that can arouse a man's affection.
My heart, Mr. Lin is really in tune with this.
It's a pity...she underestimated her opponent.
Liuyun lowered his eyes, hid his thoughts, and stood silently beside the old lady.
"Master, I have a few words, I don't know whether to say them or not." Jiang moved lightly and walked in front of Mu Qingyang. She bowed slightly and looked at Mu Qingyang with her calm eyes, which made him confused.
My heart suddenly calmed down.
"Tell me." Mu Qingyang likes Jiang's indifference. Although he is not as doting as Xia, he appreciates her a little more. A talented woman is worth cherishing.
"In the past few days, the Second Madam has been busy with the eldest lady's hairpin ceremony, so she has neglected to discipline the servants. It is regrettable that Sister Xia lost her child, but the matter has come to this, if the family in the mansion will not be peaceful again because of this undestined child.
If you offend the second lady, you will really lose more than you gain." The gentle voice, with Wu Nong's soft words unique to Jiangnan women, and words of comfort flowed into Mu Qingyang's heart.
He looked coldly at Mrs. Lin, who was still kneeling on the ground, with a deep frown. He knew that he had angered her, but if it weren't for her, how could Xia's body have been delayed for so long, and how could it have been so small?
After all, the initiator of all this is Lin.
But when he thought about it, Mrs. Jiang's words were not wrong. Mrs. Lin had always managed the backyard properly. Recently, she had been so busy with Liu Yun's wedding ceremony. If he had to force himself to blame her at this moment, it would be too harsh. But if he just
How could he face Mr. Xia if he forgave her so easily?
"The second lady and the third lady have always been friends. This time the third lady lost her beloved son, the second lady must also be extremely regretful. If the master wants to avenge the poor child, he should hold those hateful slaves accountable." A few words.
By saying this, Mu Qingyang was identified as the person who should be punished for this matter.
Liu Yun glanced at Mrs. Jiang without saying a word, with a flash of admiration in her eyes. She was indeed a smart person. She only had someone give her a sentence, and she could follow the clues all the way to this point. It was really surprising.
.
At this time, Mrs. Jiang suddenly raised her head and quickly caught the admiration in Liu Yun's eyes. The clenched hands in her sleeves loosened slightly. She saw the approval in the eldest lady's eyes, which meant that everything she did was worth it.
It is within the scope of the eldest lady’s expectations, or it should be said that it is the script that the eldest lady expected.
"Zhong, bring all the people here." Mu Qingyang groaned and gave an order to the housekeeper who was waiting outside the door. Uncle Zhong took the order and left. Not long after, he brought the people the guard was looking for.
When they were brought over, they all had their hands tied behind their backs and looked as timid as mice, which made Mu Qingyang feel disgusted.
"You were the one who arrested Lianying?" Mu Qingyang narrowed his eyes and looked at the two old ladies in front of him, with a bit of cruelty in his voice, "Didn't she tell you that the third lady was unwell and needed to call a doctor?"
The two old ladies looked at each other, trembling with fear, and knelt down to beg for mercy: "Master, please have mercy on me, Master, please have mercy on me."
From this point of view, Lianying did say that Xia was looking for a doctor, but the two old ladies arrested him as if they had not heard anything. Mu Qingyang turned her head and saw that Lianying was unsteady while being supported by the girl.
, couldn't help but get angry, pointed at the old woman and said: "Pull me down and beat her, hard."
"Master, have mercy on me, have mercy on me..." The old lady shouted for mercy, but Mu Qingyang turned a deaf ear. The old lady immediately turned her head and kowtowed to Mrs. Lin, begging her to save her life, but even the senior Linshi had no idea who else could be saved. She
She could only grit her teeth and watch as the two old women beside her were dragged out and beaten with canes. She knew that they would not survive. The older ones would definitely die if they were beaten with canes again.
Two old ladies were scolding them in the yard, and Uncle Zhong sent a few more girls in. The girls looked bolder than the old ladies, and they were not frightened to death. One of the girls looked pale and said to Mu Qingyang:
"Master, this slave is just following orders. Master cannot blame the slave for the miscarriage of the third lady. This would be unfair to the slave."
"What a sharp-tongued girl, please tell me whose order you are following. Who asked you to stop the third lady from seeing me?" Mrs. Mu glared fiercely and was pressed to her knees.
The girl on the ground sneered and said: "That's great. A servant of our Mu family dares to refute the master's words like this. Is there any dignity in this eyes?"
The girl didn't know if she was frightened by the old lady. She suddenly lost her previous momentum. She turned slightly and kowtowed to the old lady Mu, and then said: "Old lady, I know that although this servant is born with a life, but like this
The slave refused to accept the punishment for no apparent reason. The second lady asked the slaves to stay outside the old lady's yard, saying that no one should disturb the old lady's rest. If the slave let the third lady in, and disturbed the old lady's rest, she would be blamed.
Aren’t we servants being punished?”
Such a logical answer made Mrs. Mu look at her a few more times. When wealthy families are looking for girls, they always like to find girls who are from a poor family and have no choice but to be sold into slavery. They are not as vulgar as girls from the countryside. This one in front of her
The girl with delicate features is much prettier than the other girls.
"What's your name?" Liu Yun suddenly asked.
"My slave Zhuyin, I clean the old lady's yard." Zhuyin answered quickly without even raising his head.
Liuyun slowly walked up to Zhuyin and whispered: "Second Madam asked you to guard the yard so that no other people would disturb my grandmother's rest. The third lady is a young lady from the Mu Mansion. Is she a no-nonsense person?"
Zhuyin's voice was choked, and he suddenly raised his head: "The third lady came to see the old lady. I sent someone to tell the second lady, but the second lady did not reply. The rule in the Mu mansion is that the master has no new orders.
Follow the previous instructions over there."
"Presumptuous." Liu Yun raised his hand and slapped him. When his palm fell, Zhuyin's cheeks turned red quickly, and a blood streak cut half of his face.
