Concubine Xiao frowned, and looked at Hongluan with displeasure, her eyes were extremely impatient.
"If you are not convinced, follow the family rules. Although you are my maidservant, you are wrong, and I can't defend you openly. If you are wronged today, I will fight to the end, but are you?"
Xiao Concubine pressed her step by step, Hongluan's back felt chills, she suddenly felt that Xiao Concubine's eyes were very sharp and scary, as if there was a force that could see through her.
"Slaves..."
Hong Luan moved her lips. In front of so many people, Hong Luan was so ashamed that she couldn't bear it. She wished she could find a way to get in. In a blink of an eye, she looked at Hong Xiu. Very relieved.
Hong Luan is too hateful, she should be taught a lesson, she almost died, and now she is ruining her reputation, she should be beaten.
"Fight!" Miss Xiao glanced at the nuns, "Don't be merciless, there must be no less than thirty boards, just fight here!"
"yes!"
Soon several nuns stood up, grabbed Hong Luan, fetched a long bench, and pulled Hong Luan onto it.
Bang bang two boards went down, Hongluan couldn't help screaming, the scream resounded over the entire back garden.
Fan looked at Concubine Xiao, and felt that something was different. Since she came back from the Jokhang Temple, Concubine Xiao was no longer close to her, she even avoided Xiao Ruo and Xiao Ying, and instead got close to the old lady.
Fan felt something was wrong. Thinking about it carefully, it was almost because of Xiao Concubine that Xiao Ruo and herself were forced to this point. In the eyes of everyone, Xiao Concubine became a victim.
"Xiao Jiu." Fan Shi was about to come over, but Miss Xiao saw it from the corner of her eyes, and backed away calmly.
"Haven't you had enough to eat? Give me a hard hit, and don't miss a single one."
Concubine Xiao turned her gaze to Caiju, who shook her body.
"If you can't find a witness to prove your innocence, you will be fined ten times."
Caiju froze for a moment, looked around, the little maids all shrank back, Caiju blushed anxiously, and looked at one of the little maids.
"Bai Chi, you were cleaning nearby, did you see that?"
The maid named Baijia stepped back immediately, "I didn't see anything."
Caiju bit her lip, a little discouraged, "Miss Nine, this servant accepts punishment."
Xiao Concubine squinted at Caiju, this girl's gaze was very accurate just now, she went straight to the target, her observation was delicate, coupled with her young age, she was quick-witted, she was exactly what Xiao Concubine liked.
"beat!"
Xiao Yu's red lips parted lightly, and she did not struggle while picking chrysanthemums, she bit her lips tightly and the tears in her eyes were swirling.
After banging ten boards, Concubine Xiao glanced at Hongxiu, who nodded and stepped forward to support Caiju.
Caiju was numb from the waist down, trembling with pain, her face was pale, and beads of sweat dripped down her forehead.
Miss Xiao suddenly pointed at Caiju, and said to Fan, "Mother, Xiaojiu happens to be missing a big maid, so Xiaojiu wants to pick chrysanthemums."
Fan was stunned, "Xiaojiu, Caiju is too young, Minger's mother will ask the matchmaker to come and pick some more for you. Caiju is used to rough work, how can I go into the inner room to serve you?"
Caiju suddenly raised her head and was stunned. How could Miss Jiu ask for herself
When the red luan heard this, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Mother, just because she is young, Xiao Jiu has to train her herself. If it doesn't work, it's not too late to change her."
Concubine Xiao insisted on her own opinion, and Mrs. Fan had no choice but to agree.
After finishing playing the board, Concubine Xiao waved her hand, "Go get the doctor here."
Hongxiu nodded, found two little maids, carried Hongluan away, and walked slowly back to Linglong Pavilion with Caiju by herself.
Many maids in the yard have different views on Concubine Xiao. They looked at Caiju enviously, and changed from a low-level maid to a maid next to Miss Jiu. The ten boards are definitely worth it.
Others were puzzled, Xiao Concubine was too capricious, and her temper was a bit arrogant.
Xiao Concubine smiled and was about to leave but was held by Fan's arm.
"Xiao Jiu, mother has something to tell you. I don't care what others say. Mother knows that you must be complaining that mother favors your fifth sister. Xiao Jiu, mother has always treated you as her own. Over the years, mother You know how it is to you."
Fan's eyes turned slightly red as she said, "It's your fifth sister who failed to live up to expectations and ruined your marriage. Mother can't do anything about it."
Concubine Xiao smiled slightly, and withdrew her arm from Fan's hand, "Mother is worrying too much. Grandma is right. The palms and backs of her hands are full of flesh. Xiao Jiu doesn't blame her for doing this."
Fan frowned when she heard this, "You still want to regenerate your mother's anger when you say that. Your fifth sister is an asshole and offended you. Mother must teach her well this time. At first, mother really didn't know that your fifth sister would be so confused. , if I knew earlier, I would break her legs and not let her go out."
According to what the old lady said, the biological and the heirs are just different, and you can't see it on weekdays, but when you encounter something, you can see it immediately, and you can tell the difference between the high and the low.
Fan said again, "Mother will depend on you as much as you want to calm down, but there is one thing, your fifth elder sister just fell down, and there is no wind. If something goes wrong in the future, it will be a lifetime event. When she recovers, Mother must ask her to personally apologize to you."
Fan thought for a while, Xiao Ruo left and it was over, the only one who could persuade the old lady was Concubine Xiao.
Xiao Yu sneered, "Mother still loves Fifth Sister the most, Xiaojiu treats Fifth Sister as a sister, if Fifth Sister speaks up, Xiaojiu will definitely let go, so why carry me behind her back!"
Xiao Concubine became more and more angry as she spoke, and her small chest rose and fell with anger. At this moment, Manzhi happened to pass by. Fan's scalp tightened, and with a flash of skill, Xiao Concubine had already gone far away, angry and helpless. .
After returning to Linglong Pavilion, Concubine Xiao went to look at Caiju, who was stunned for a moment.
"Miss Nine."
Concubine Xiao bent down and said calmly, "What did you see today?"
Caiju was startled, bit her lip, and said after a while, "I didn't see anything today."
Miss Xiao stood up when she heard the words, and smiled, "I will see clearly in the future, don't disappoint my expectations, if you make a mistake, you will be punished, and there will be rewards and punishments."
"Miss Nine, this servant realizes his mistake, this servant shouldn't meddle in other people's business."
Caiju's original resentment towards Concubine Xiao disappeared without a trace, and what was left was only admiration, and her previous impression of Miss Jiu was overturned in an instant.
There was a wise light in Xiao Concubine's eyes, Caiju stared blankly, and lowered her head in shame.
"Thank you for the promotion, Miss Jiu. Caiju will definitely live up to Miss's expectations in the future."
Concubine Xiao nodded, "Let's take care of yourself first, the others are not in a hurry."
