County magistrate Tang followed Mrs. Tang back to the main courtyard, and before entering the house, the maids saluted one after another. He saw Xia He and Xia Cao at a glance, and knew that Mrs. Tang had something to do. He heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and entered the inner room. Take off your official robes and change into regular clothes...
Seeing him go in, Mrs. Tang turned her head to look at Xia He and Xia Cao, and asked, "Why did you come here together? Who will take care of Ruile?"
Xia He was startled, and quickly said: "Aunt Ma and the others are waiting by your side, Madam hasn't woken up yet. If Madam is worried, I will go back immediately."
The lid of the cup in Mrs. Tang's hand fell on the cup with a bang. Not only Xia He Xiacao was shocked, but Master Tang in the room was also startled, and then listened with interest.
Mrs. Tang said: "You are Rui Le's dowry, so you should be her confidantes. I don't tell you, you should stay by her side all the time. But when I called, you two came here?"
Xia He and Xia Cao turned pale with fright, and quickly knelt down to apologize.
Mrs. Tang waved her hand and asked the maid to take them down for inspection.
Xia He and Xia Cao were shocked and stunned, they didn't know what to check, and when they were taken to the ear room to take off their clothes, they were frightened to death, clutching the skirts tightly and refusing to let go.
Yuncao quickly came in from the outside, pushed Xiacao back, pushed her down on the bed and held her down halfway, saying: "You are stupid, you are better than our wife, you don't even look at who is in this room, Those are all respectable aunts of our family, and it's Madam who gave you face when they came to check, if you don't agree, a rough envoy will come in later, and they don't know how serious they are."
Xia Cao couldn't help crying, and said in panic: "Cousin, what you are going to do is explained, how can you strip someone's clothes as soon as you come up?"
Yuncao: "I don't know what to do? This is also Madam's order, but don't worry, we will not harm you, don't you know our master and wife, there is no couple in the capital city without a few concubines Waiter? You are still in Miss Six’s room, so I won’t make things difficult for you, just let us take a look.”
Xia Cao was still ignorant, but Xia He, who was also terrified at the side, vaguely understood something. She shook her hands to untie her belt, but her hands were shaking so badly that she couldn't pull it out for a long time, and even tied the knot.
The servant woman who had been standing aside with a sullen face finally calmed down a bit when she saw it, stepped forward and pulled the belt, and untied it for her in two or three strokes.
Checking over here, Yuncao's eyes were red and swollen, and the two maids came and went back and forth, and most of the people in the room retreated. At this time, only Master Tang and Mrs. Tang were sitting together drinking tea.
Mr. Tang just took a sip of his tea, and when he saw them coming, he put down his teacup and looked at Mrs. Tang.
Madam Tang thought for a while with a sullen face, then nodded her head and said, "Go out first."
Master Tang raised his eyebrows, "I thought Ma'am wanted me to help you try the case, to make the decision for you."
Mrs. Tang said with a sullen face: "When I can use you."
Mrs. Tang raised her eyebrows, and then got up to go out.
As soon as he got out of the yard, he breathed a sigh of relief, beckoned a girl, and asked, "When did Madam come back today?"
The girl bowed her head and said, "I'll be back when I'm not upright."
"With Miss Man?"
"Yes, together with Medical Assistant Liu and the third wife of the Zhou family."
Master Tang rubbed his chin, and came before he was upright. It's almost midnight now, to see a doctor, at most two quarters of an hour, but they took one and a half hours, which is not short.
Yuncao knelt on the ground and said: "...Xia Cao has three wounds on her body. Apart from kicking, there are also many whipping wounds. There are more wounds on Xia He's body. The wounds above the wrist are layered on top of each other. It is almost invisible. It's the original flesh."
Madam Tang was furious, slapped the table hard, and asked, "What did they say?"
"Xia Cao only knows how to cry. Xia He said that she had to ask Madam what she meant before she said it."
Mrs. Tang tightly pursed her lips, but she did feel better in her heart, and only now did she feel the burning pain in her hands.
With a serious face, she said, "Go and bring the two of them here."
Xia He and Xia Cao had put on their clothes again, but their faces were pale, as if they were about to faint in the next moment, they knelt down as soon as they entered the room.
Mrs. Tang collapsed when she saw them entering the door, hating iron for being weak, pointing and cursing: "Who are you kneeling there for? Get over here!"
The two of them walked forward and knelt down in front of Mrs. Tang.
Mrs. Tang raised their chins and asked, "Let me ask you, how many times have your wives had miscarriages and how did they happen?"
The two of them turned pale and trembled all over without speaking.
Mrs. Tang snorted coldly, let go of their chins and said, "Why, conceal it for the Ma family and show their loyalty to them, what good can they do for you?"
Xia Cao's whole body was limp on the ground, lying on her stomach as if she had no bones. Xia He was slightly stronger than her, but she was too trembling to speak a complete sentence, but even so, she also stammered and asked : "Husband, madam, how can I intervene?"
Madam Tang asked calmly, "What does this mean?"
Xia He's tears fell in clusters, but after the first sentence came out, she was no longer afraid, and asked tremblingly, "Madam knows, can you take our wife out of the sea of suffering? Or, or Also tell our wife to bear it, if the Ma family finds out, they will fight harder..."
Mrs. Tang felt dizzy before her eyes, and grabbed her shoulder, "What do you mean, the Wang family knows?"
Xia Cao was still lying on the ground shaking her body and crying.
Xia He nodded slightly with pale lips, trembling her mouth and said: "Second Madam said that husband and wife fight at the head of the bed and fight at the end of the bed. Our lady, yes, our wife has been home for less than two days. Someone sent the wife back, and the uncle poured wine on the wife's head, calling her a lowly woman, and ran back to her mother's house. Don't come back if you have the ability, and come back before he picks it up... "
Mrs. Tang was so angry that she swept all the cups and cups in her hand to the ground, and gritted her teeth, "Cui Shi!"
These two words seemed to open the hearts of the two girls, and they collapsed immediately. Xia He suddenly cried out, stepped forward and hugged Mrs. Tang's feet, weeping uncontrollably, "Miss, Eldest lady, our lady is suffering, the second lady is not human, she is not human, our lady wants to see the old man, and wants the old man to be the master, the second lady said that the livelihood of the family is getting more and more difficult, how can we go to find our house because of these trivial things Elder Master, even the second master sent our lady back without letting the second master see. The Ma family originally only had three points of courage, but it increased by twelve points in one go. That bastard has never regarded our lady as a human being since then... "
