Jiang Zhu was still instructing the maids under her, her mouth was dry and she was just about to stop to drink some water to soothe her throat, when she saw a group of guards rushing in. She immediately frowned and wanted to reprimand a few words, but she only saw those people
Come for yourself.
She was immediately stunned: "What are you doing?"
No one answered, and everyone swarmed up, tied her into a rice dumpling, and then carried her to the outer study.
Jiang Zhu had been in the Liu Mansion for only a day or two, and had never seen the Liu Mansion treat its servants like this. During this period, she tried to inquire with the guards, but no one spoke to her. When she promised to pay a heavy sum of money, everyone remained silent.
Along the way, Jiang Zhu felt uneasy. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. When she saw herself being carried into the outer study, her uneasiness turned into fear.
When the head of the Liu family heard that the men had been brought, he stepped out slowly: "Hit me."
The guard was very obedient, and in an instant, all the sticks were raised.
Jiang Zhu opened his mouth to plead for mercy, but the Liu family leader seemed not to hear him. If he didn't shout to stop, no one would dare to stop.
Listening to the dull sound of the board, Gao Sitong couldn't help but said: "My boss, I have been secretly communicating with Manager Jiang for many years, and I know her somewhat. This servant cannot guarantee that she will not make any mistakes, but she definitely has not
I made a big mistake. Please look into it clearly and don’t unjustly accuse a good person."
Seeing Jiang Zhu's face turned gloomy over there, Gao Sitong sounded anxious: "Let them stop and ask questions before we talk."
The head of the Liu family did not look at her, only looking at the blood stains spreading on the ground, and said calmly: "She found someone to contact the maid next to Mrs. Lin, and asked Mrs. Lin to find trouble in the small medical clinic. Only this one thing, she was so stunned
The beating will not be unjust."
Gao Sitong immediately said: "There is a misunderstanding."
Chu Yunli answered: "If there is any misunderstanding about the person Yinzhu, the maid in the house, is looking for, just ask her and you will find out."
The head of the Liu family nodded slightly and immediately went to work.
Yin Zhu was called over, trembling all over, knelt down and kept kowtowing: "I know I was wrong."
This is a very timid maid at first glance. She probably did this outrageous thing. She didn’t even need to ask her master to ask, but just started asking: “My name has a word for pearl in it, which just happened to match the name of Manager Jiang.”
, because of this, I have been bullied a lot in recent years, and Manager Jiang has been in a difficult situation several times. I dare not not do what she asked me to do, please let me investigate!"
Next, she told her exactly what she had done, how she got out of the house, how she found the person, and in order to persuade them, she even took the initiative to give her an extra five taels of silver. After she finished speaking, she started kowtowing again.
The head of the Liu family didn't like to see Yin Zhu's humility and fear: "Go down!"
Yin Zhu kowtowed a few more times. Seeing that her master was tired of it, she later realized that she was wrong to kowtow all the time. She hurriedly got up and stepped back. Because her legs were weak, she fell to the ground. She didn't dare to delay, and rolled out the door all the way.
.
Gao Sitong gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know where this maid came from. She must have been bribed and deliberately slandered!"
The head of the Liu family couldn't bear it anymore: "Gao Sitong, don't treat me like a fool."
Gao Sitong hurriedly lowered his head: "I don't dare, little one."
"I think you are very brave." Jiang Zhu, who was on the ground, started to groan and vomit blood after being beaten. Every time she groaned, a mouthful of blood spurted out. And a large stain of blood had spread under her body... If she didn't let anyone
Stop, or someone will die within a quarter of an hour at most.
The head of the Liu family didn't want to take anyone's life, but Jiang Zhu was very stubborn, and even after being beaten like this, he still didn't open his mouth. He sneered and said: "If you don't open your mouth, you will be killed with a stick. Call me Baoyue."
When he said this, he kept staring at Jiang Zhu's face, not missing Gao Sitong's expression from the corner of his eye.
The two people's expressions changed a little when they heard Baoyue's invitation. Gao Sitong quickly calmed down, but Jiang Zhu suddenly raised his head. Although he quickly lowered his head again, the Liu family leader already understood that Baoyue and these two people must have something.
relation.
Also, it would be a great loss if the child who had spent so much effort in exchange for the master's careful upbringing over the years had nothing to do with him.
Furthermore, the head of the Liu family really couldn't think of the reason why these two people exchanged children. It could only be that... Baoyue was their daughter.
It's just a guess, the Liu family leader is very angry.
For many years, he had doted on a servant's child, leaving his true blood to suffer hardships. When the child finally grew up, his identity was exposed and he was tricked to the point where his family was almost destroyed. In fact, he was the one who was the only one who plotted against her.
Given to me by my biological father.
Even though the head of the Liu family had met a lot of people and was good at cultivating qi, he was still so angry that he was shaking all over.
He had not shown his true anger for a long time, and he said every word: "Kill with a stick! Then send him to a mass grave!"
One sentence sealed Jiang Zhu's fate.
Gao Sitong's expression changed: "Boss, there is a misunderstanding here."
The head of the Liu family didn't look at him: "Sitong, if Baoyue also knows about her life experience, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Gao Sitong didn't know what expression to put on for a while, and after a long while, he gave a stiff smile: "Miss Baoyue is your biological daughter, what else can she have?"
When the head of the Liu family met Dong Sanqi for the first time, he didn't think much about it. Gao Sitong was there to slander her, and in fact, there were many young girls trying to get close to him by any means. At that time, he believed it and turned around and left.
As for not taking a closer look at Dong Sanqi’s appearance.
After hearing about the swaddling, he took a closer look and immediately noticed something was wrong.
At this moment, even if no one told Master Liu the truth, he had already guessed most of it.
"Come here, tie up Gao Sitong." The head of the Liu family said with a serious face: "If you refuse to confess, you will also be killed with a stick. The relationship between these two people is stronger than that of Jin. I let them die in the same year, the same month and the same day, which is considered a tragedy.
Merit."
Gao Sitong doesn't want to die.
Jiang Zhu had only one breath left and could not move her eyes. She was lying on the ground like a dead dog, with blood flowing far away from her body. As soon as Gao Sitong was pressed to the ground, he could smell the blood all over his nose.
Wei, watch the guard raise his stick and bring it down. He hurriedly said: "Master, I have something to say."
Just when the stick was about to fall on him, the head of the Liu family finally raised his hand gently.
Gao Sitong was so frightened that he closed his eyes. Before the pain came, he opened one eye and met his boss's cold eyes...that look, as if beating him to death was like strangling an ant.
He didn't dare to carry it anymore, Jiang Zhu was already dead, and he didn't want to follow in his footsteps: "My boss, I didn't do this on purpose, it's all Jiang Zhu!"
He turned around and glared at the woman next to him: "She seduced me and refused to abort the child after she had the child. I tried to persuade her countless times, but she refused to take the abort medicine. Just give birth to her, otherwise I will be beaten by a tigress."
After a meal, the relationship between husband and wife was severed. After all, I really shouldn't have contact with her, and I should admit when I was wrong... But I didn't expect that she was so courageous. She even dared to use the Madam's trust to bribe the Wen Po next to the Madam and switch her.
The child was just born. I only found out later. When I learned the inside story, the child had already been sent to the suburbs. What the lady saw was her child. It was too late to correct it, so she could only make mistakes."
Even though the Liu family and his wife had already suspected it, the head of the Liu family felt his heart sink when he actually heard Gao Sitong admit it.
Mrs. Liu couldn't accept it at all. Her face instantly turned pale and she couldn't stand at all. Chu Yunli was closest to her and gave her a hand.
This support attracted Madam Liu's attention.
Madam Liu used her strength to stand firm and looked at the girl in front of her up and down. There was no broad robe with big sleeves or gorgeous embroidery, only a refreshing narrow-sleeved commoner. This was for the convenience of work... However, this outfit was not even comparable to
The rough servant girl in the mansion.
This is my biological daughter.
She subconsciously reached out and held the young girl's hand. When she noticed the roughness under her hand, her heart ached!
My family has been a wealthy businessman for several generations, and the daughters I gave birth to are all rich in wealth. Their skin has been carefully smeared with nourishing oil since they were young, and they have maids to take care of them when they wash. These hands are a woman's second face, no matter what?
No calluses will grow.
"You...suffered."
Chu Yunli's mood was a little complicated. She didn't expect that the truth about the person behind the scenes who killed Dong Sanqi was like this.
With this calculation, Dong Sanqi is even more unjust.
She was plotted against from the moment she was born, not to mention that a beautiful lady was reduced to an ordinary medical girl, but she grew up peacefully. She never thought about finding her parents, but she was still killed.
Until my death, I thought everything was an accident. I just thought that the Lin family was too mean and ruthless, and had no idea about the conspiracies behind it.
"mother?"
A soft female voice came, full of doubts.
Mrs. Liu froze and slowly looked sideways.
Chu Yunli also saw the girl Baoyue at the door. There is no ugly woman in her prime. Her complexion is fair and rosy, her black hair is pulled up high, with a jade hairpin stuck on it, which is worn on her earlobes and hands.
Wearing jewelry of the same color, it should be a set. Jade is much more expensive than gold and silver, and it cannot be bought with money. The set on Baoyue is worth a lot at first glance.
At the same time, Baoyue exclaimed and covered her mouth with her hands. The redness on her face faded and turned pale. With trembling fingers, she pointed at the bloody gourd-like ginger beads on the ground: "What's going on?"
The maid next to her immediately supported her: "Girl is scared, let's go out first."
The maid didn't look at the expressions of the Liu family and his wife when she said this. Over the years, they also knew how much their boss loved the girl, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with quitting.
They left late and frightened the girl, so the servants like them will be punished.
Mrs. Liu looked complicated and didn't speak for a while.
The head of the Liu family said coldly: "Don't go, this is your biological mother, she has worked so hard for you, and she will never be seen again. Please stay and see her one last time!"
