Hong Xi and Hong Xian's eyes widened with shock as they listened outside. They could hear Luo Lingxiu's miserable cries accompanied by the occasional crisp slapping sounds. It was horrifying, but the two maids who had been bullied by Luo Lingxiu for a long time also felt a surge of pleasure in their hearts. They wished that Luo Lingxiu would be beaten longer in there.
Although both of them were thinking the same thing, they dared not show it. When they looked at each other, they saw fear and anxiety on each other's faces. "What should I do?" Hong Xi shook the door of the inner room anxiously, but the door did not move at all. Through the gap in the door, she could not see what was going on inside.
Hong Xian was more assertive than Hong Xi, and said without hesitation, "You stay here and watch. I'll go get the wife."
When Hong Xian arrived at Miao's yard, Miao was already lying on the bed. The Marquis did not rest with her tonight. He must have gone to comfort Aunt Yu, that bitch who had no right to appear at the banquet. Miao was feeling unhappy when she heard Nanny Wei say that Hong Xian came to the eldest grandmother and asked to see her.
Miao had been busy all day and was already exhausted. She had just drunk a bowl of hot soothing soup and was about to fall asleep. She waved her hand impatiently and said, "What can't we talk about tomorrow?"
Nanny Wei bowed, went out to the courtyard, and politely asked Hong Xian to come back tomorrow if she had anything to say. Hong Xian was so anxious that she wanted to stamp her feet. She wondered if the eldest grandmother would live to see tomorrow. However, although Nanny Wei's tone was polite, her attitude was firm. She wanted to send the guest away immediately. Hong Xian didn't care about Luo Lingxiu's face and shouted loudly to the window of Miao's inner room: "Madam, please go and save our eldest grandmother! If you go too late, the eldest grandmother will be beaten to death by the second grandmother!"
Upon hearing this, Miao, who was already lying on the bed, was startled and immediately sat up. After a moment of hesitation, she hurriedly lifted the quilt and sat up, and told Wei Ma to bring someone in. The maid serving in the room hurried forward to help Miao put on clothes.
After listening to Hong Xian's hesitant narration of what happened, Miao was furious and anxious, and wanted to smash the armrests of her subordinates' chairs. None of them made her feel at ease! Miao was too lazy to investigate the cause of the incident at this time, and took a few strong maids and servants to rush directly to Yiqing Courtyard.
The maid in charge of locking the door was locking the Yiqing Courtyard. Miao came over with a group of people and shouted at the maid, "Open the door!"
The maid was startled and quickly took out the key to open the locked courtyard door again. Miao rushed in first. Before she reached the main door of Yiqing Courtyard, she heard Luo Lingxiu's miserable crying and the occasional crisp slapping. Miao was so angry that her eyes went dark and she could hardly stand. She ordered several maids and maids to guard the courtyard door. She only took Wei Ma and a strong maid into the house.
Luo Lingxiu's cries, curses and pleas for mercy suddenly became clearer. Madam Wei quickly supported Miao, who was so angry that she could not stand. At Miao's signal, the maid desperately slammed the door of the inner room. After two hits, the bolt was broken, and the unfortunate maid rolled into the inner room with a cry.
Mingyu heard the noise, stood up, and before doing so kicked Luo Lingxiu who was lying on the ground. He then pulled Lixiang aside and stood in front of her.
Luo Lingxiu felt pain all over her body. Her arms and legs were hurt by Mingyu hitting her with a stick, and her face was slapped countless times. It was burning with pain. This was the first time she was beaten in her life, and she didn't expect to be beaten so badly. Mingyu looked thin, but she was really cruel and ruthless.
With the help of Nanny Wei, Miao walked tremblingly into Mingyu's inner room, and saw Mingyu standing beside her with a calm face, and the eldest daughter-in-law, who had been beaten into a pig's head, lying on the ground.
Luo Lingxiu saw Miao with her eyes that were almost swollen into a line, as if she had seen a savior. She burst into tears and lay on the ground shouting, "Aunt, save me! Mingyu is going to beat me to death! You have to kill her to avenge me!" Her voice echoed throughout the Yiqing Courtyard, sharp and piercing.
Miao took a deep breath and shouted, "Shut up! Don't you think it's embarrassing enough?"
Luo Lingxiu's crying stopped immediately.
Miao's eyes were gloomy. She stared at Mingyu who was standing quietly at the side and said coldly, "I haven't had time to look for you yet, but you've already made trouble here. Do you think you can do whatever you want by relying on Bao Ge'er? Do you think our mansion is too small to accommodate a great god like you?"
Lixiang was so anxious that she was about to cry. She knew that Madam Luo Lingxiu would never forgive them if they were beaten. However, Mingyu stood in front of her without moving. As a servant, Lixiang did not dare to interrupt at this time.
Mingyu glanced at Luo Lingxiu who was trying hard to hold back her tears, and asked, "Madam, why don't you ask why Mingyu hit my sister-in-law?"
Miao glanced at Mingyu, who was a little too calm, and temporarily suppressed her anger, nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead." She was also curious. Luo Lingxiu was clearly exhausted and wanted to go back to her room to rest, so how did she end up resting in the remote Yiqing Courtyard
Mingyu laughed sarcastically, and seeing Luo Lingxiu's miserable appearance after being beaten into a pig's head, she felt relieved and said, "Just when I was about to go to bed tonight, my eldest sister-in-law kicked the door in and started to curse me, saying that I was shameless and had hooked up with the Second Master. Then my eldest sister-in-law attacked us. My eldest sister-in-law had even cried and told the Second Master that the person she wanted to marry was not the Master, but..."
Before Mingyu could finish, Luo Lingxiu on the ground screamed in fear, her sharp and piercing voice instantly drowned out Mingyu's voice, "Nonsense! You're talking nonsense! Auntie, this little bitch is full of lies, don't believe her!"
If Miao's face was just ugly when she first came, now her face was pale, her eyes stared at Luo Lingxiu, then turned to stare at Mingyu. Wei Ma was horrified, her hands and feet were cold, how could such a scandal happen? She didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be if the news got out.
Luo Lingxiu was so frightened that she could no longer control herself. Tears and snot were streaming down her face. She struggled to get up from the ground, crawled to Miao's feet, tugged at Miao's skirt, and cried, "Aunt, don't believe her. She's a slut. I'm innocent..."
Mingyu looked at Luo Lingxiu with disgust. The big breast who was once so high and mighty was now crawling on the ground, begging Miao to continue to believe in her like a dog. Perhaps when she did all these things, she never thought that she would end up like this today.
"Sister-in-law, I think you were too busy and forgot about it." Mingyu smiled. She didn't plan to let Luo Lingxiu go. If she beat Luo Lingxiu today, there would be no turning back. Even if she was divorced by the Sima Marquis's mansion, she would leave with dignity and not be accused of a crime. "I don't know if Sister-in-law still remembers that you repeatedly came to ask for a wooden shelf that the Second Master gave me. Do you think that only you are worthy of taking the Second Master's things?"
"Nonsense!" Luo Lingxiu's hands and feet began to tremble. She turned back to refute and looked at Mingyu fiercely, as if she wanted to tear her apart.
Mingyu sighed and said, "My sister-in-law also said that if the second master doesn't care about you in his heart, he is a heartless person. She also said that since the master has let you down, why should you..."
"Shut up, shut up! You're talking nonsense, all of it is nonsense!" Luo Lingxiu shouted hysterically, as if her voice could cover Mingyu's and prevent Miao from hearing Mingyu's words.
Mingyu shook her head, "Sister-in-law, you have always just called the Second Master cousin. You don't want to be his sister-in-law, you only want to be his cousin. You hate me for marrying the Second Master, and you're looking for trouble with me everywhere. You also want to harm Lixiang so that I won't have anyone to rely on. Think about the three maids you beat to death. Can you sleep well at night? They became your scapegoats. Aren't you afraid that their wronged spirits will come to find you in the middle of the night? God is watching what you do. Are you really not afraid of retribution? Don't skip a word.
The cold wind of the autumn night blew through the curtains and into the inner room. The candlelight in the room flickered. Luo Lingxiu suddenly became frightened and dared not breathe. She clutched the hem of Miao's skirt tightly.
It took a long time for Miao to come back to her senses from her shock. She looked at her niece with complicated eyes. She was kneeling at her feet, her face swollen like a pig's head, and her face was covered with tears and snot. She had always placed high hopes on this niece, but gradually, one thing after another, gradually reduced her trust in Luo Lingxiu. What happened today shocked her completely, as if it was a bolt from the blue.
She was unwilling to believe that this was not true. She withstood the pressure from the Marquis and the old lady and forcibly hired the eldest daughter-in-law. How could she be a slut who wanted to have an affair with her brother-in-law?! This was not true, and it couldn't be true!
Thinking of this, Miao sneered, looked at Mingyu, and said with gritted teeth: "You are talking nonsense and slandering others' innocence out of thin air! Do you really think I dare not punish you?"
Hearing what Miao said, Mingyu lowered her head. Miao had already believed what she said, but she still chose to protect Luo Lingxiu's face and the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion. In fact, this was not surprising, and Mingyu could guess this result. Most of the powerful people, after a scandal, did not think about how to rectify it, but how to cover up the rotten sore, and show the most glamorous side as usual, so as not to let the people smell the stench on them.
Miao looked down and saw Luo Lingxiu still crying at her feet. Her love for her in the past completely disappeared. Thinking of what Mingyu had just said, it was like a slap in her face. Even if she was dissatisfied with Yang Ge'er's lack of affection for her, Yang Ge'er was also her flesh and blood, and she would not allow Luo Lingxiu to treat him like this! Thinking of this, Miao was furious and kicked Luo Lingxiu away.
"Cover her face and carry her out!" Miao ordered with gritted teeth.
The maid's face turned pale when she heard this. It was not until Nanny Wei pushed her that she reacted and carried Luo Lingxiu from the ground on her back.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Miao came out with Luo Lingxiu, who had her face covered. She turned around and ordered the maid who was locking the door with a gloomy face, "Lock the door of Yiqing Courtyard. Do not open it without my order!" (To be continued.
