The maids and servants guarding the door saw how angry Miao was. Then they looked at the old lady who was carried on the back of a servant with her face covered and could vaguely hear her sobbing. Even the dumbest person would understand that something big had happened in the usually peaceful Marquis' Mansion tonight.
It was just that everyone was amazed and incredulous about the quiet and petite Second Mistress beating the First Mistress. If Luo Lingxiu had not been carried out of Yiqing Courtyard by the maids, with irrefutable evidence, no one would have believed that the Second Mistress beat the First Mistress. The maids and maids held their breath and followed behind Miao, looking for opportunities to quickly look up at Miao and Luo Lingxiu, occasionally exchanging a few knowing glances.
Miao's mind was in a mess. She thought of Luo Lingxiu and Bao Ge'er talking and laughing in front of her, and then she thought of Luo Lingxiu and Yang Ge'er looking at each other coldly. Miao's hands were shaking secretly in her wide sleeves. She could hardly support herself, as if she would burst at any time.
If she hadn't wondered why Luo Lingxiu was tired all day and why she went to Yiqing Courtyard so late, and if it weren't for Mingyu's calm and almost desperate expression, Miao wouldn't have believed Mingyu's words. Why had she never thought that Luo Lingxiu's attitude towards Bao Ge'er was indeed too intimate? What kind of daughter-in-law would be so unconcerned about her brother-in-law
First, she repeatedly meddled in the affairs of Bao Ge's room, and then she would occasionally tell on Ming Yu, the little girl, in front of her. How could this be what a sister-in-law should do? Perhaps she subconsciously regarded Luo Ling Xiu as someone she could completely trust and rely on, and she kept doting on her, which was why she allowed her to become so arrogant.
Seeing that Miao was in a daze, walking with one foot deep and one foot shallow, as if she had no consciousness, Nanny Wei quickly came over without making a sound, supported Miao, and walked towards her yard.
Hong Xi and Hong Xian followed behind fearfully, but Miao did not let the servant carry Luo Lingxiu back to Luo Lingxiu's yard. Instead, she carried her directly to Miao's room and waved her hand, telling Hong Xi and Hong Xian to go back first, saying that since the eldest lady had been wronged tonight, they should rest at her place.
When the maids and old women guarding the gate outside the yard heard the news, they all secretly felt that the mistress was really protective of the eldest grandmother, who was worthy of being her niece. Look at the second grandmother, who was directly put in solitary confinement. They didn't know how the mistress was going to deal with her tomorrow. What's the use of winning the favor of the second master? She would just be at the mercy of the mistress.
After the maid put Luo Lingxiu in the bed, she wanted to leave. The secret she heard tonight made her terrified. For some reason, she thought of the three maids who were inexplicably beaten to death in the kitchen.
"Come, I'll take you out." Nanny Wei took the servant girl and went out affectionately.
The servant's hair stood up and she was covered in cold sweat. She gritted her teeth and followed Madam Wei out.
After Nanny Wei and the maid left, only Miao and Luo Lingxiu were left in the room. It was so quiet that the only sound that could be heard was Luo Lingxiu's sobbing.
The flower trees outside the window have lost all their leaves. As the cold autumn night wind blows, the shadows of the flowers and trees on the windowsill sway back and forth, just like Miao's ups and downs in mood at the moment.
Miao looked at Luo Lingxiu, who was still crying on the couch with her face covered, with a numb look on her face. Crying? She still had the nerve to cry? She almost disgraced the Sima, Miao and Luo families! Who gave her the guts to humiliate the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion
"Have you cried enough?" Miao became increasingly impatient and asked coldly.
Luo Lingxiu's crying stopped abruptly. She trembled as she took off the scarf covering her face. Her face was swollen and her eyes were squeezed into a line. Looking at Miao's cold face, Luo Lingxiu's heart also turned cold. She said in a trembling voice, "Aunt, don't believe what Mingyu, that little bitch, said..."
Miao took a deep breath, unable to hide the disgust in her eyes, and nodded: "I have always been reasonable, and naturally I will not listen to one side of the story. Now I listen to you, tell me, you told me that you were going back to your room to rest, so why are you at Mingyu's place so late?"
Luo Lingxiu hesitated for a few times, and in her panic she thought of an excuse, and said, "My daughter-in-law thought about what happened during the day, and was afraid that Mingyu might have some thoughts, so she went to see her. But she and the maid beat my daughter-in-law like this without saying anything..." Speaking of the sad part, Luo Lingxiu covered her face and cried again.
Miao became so angry after hearing this that she could no longer suppress her anger. She reached out and grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it hard to the ground. The sound of the porcelain breaking startled Luo Lingxiu and she stopped crying immediately.
"Do you think I'm old and confused? Do you believe your nonsense? You usually call Mingyu a little bitch and complain about her whenever you get the chance. Today you are so tired and you still want to go see her? Can you be so kind?" Miao scolded.
Luo Lingxiu knew that she could no longer deceive others today. She gritted her teeth and rolled down from the couch. Her whole body was aching, as if she was bitten by millions of ants. She crawled to Miao's feet and cried miserably. She grabbed Miao's skirt and cried, "Aunt, how can you believe Mingyu and not me? I am your niece! I am innocent, and you let Xu Mingyu treat me like this?"
Miao wiped her face and tried hard to hold back the tears in her eyes. She only married Luo Lingxiu because she was her niece. Otherwise, with Yang Ge'er's status and talent, there would be so many noble ladies in the capital waiting for him. How could it be Luo Lingxiu's turn? But she didn't expect that her selfishness would harm her two sons!
"I just want to ask you, are the things Mingyu said true or not?" Miao asked, staring into Luo Lingxiu's eyes.
Under the dim light, Miao's expression was like that of a lioness with fierce eyes like knives. Luo Lingxiu felt uneasy and didn't dare to look into Miao's eyes. She lowered her head and cried aggrievedly, "Aunt, if you don't believe me, just let me die and put an end to it!"
Miao's face was full of disappointment. She stood up, grabbed her skirt, and forcibly pulled herself out of Luo Lingxiu's hands. Looking at Luo Lingxiu, who was lying on the ground crying without any strength, she sighed sadly, "You are right. I can't believe that outsiders don't believe my niece. A woman's reputation is more important than anything else. How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air? It's no different from killing someone without shedding blood."
When Luo Lingxiu heard what Miao said, she raised her head in surprise, wiped her tears, and called out, "Aunt..."
Miao did not go to see Luo Lingxiu, and continued: "Bao Ge'er will be back in two days. When he comes back, I will ask him and we will know everything. I think my own son will not lie to me. If Mingyu said anything wrong, I will ask her to pay you with her life. If you did those shameless things, don't blame your aunt for not considering your feelings..."
Compared to a niece, Mingyu, the foreign daughter-in-law, is an outsider, but compared to Baoger, the biological son, Luo Lingxiu, the niece, is an outsider.
Luo Lingxiu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly tried to crawl towards Miao, grab her and beg her, but Miao didn't even look at Luo Lingxiu again. She just locked the bedroom door and went out.
On a late autumn night, the floor was hard and cold. Luo Lingxiu lay on the ground, every cell in her body screaming in pain. However, she had not eaten for a day and had no strength at all. She could not even stand up. She was so angry that she started to cry again. She could not help but curse in a hoarse voice: "The people in Sima Hou's Mansion are all heartless! Old hag, your two precious sons are not good people! Sima Xi deserves to be cuckolded!"
It was not until late at night that the bedroom door was opened again. Nanny Wei came in with a plate, put it down, helped Luo Lingxiu sit on the couch, took the hot soup noodles on the plate, and fed Luo Lingxiu mouthful by mouthful.
Luo Lingxiu had been hungry for a whole day, and her eyes almost glowed green when she saw food. She no longer cared about the elegance of the eldest lady in the Marquis's mansion or the noble lady of the capital. At the beginning, she could eat slowly, but in the end, she directly snatched the bowl and chopsticks from Wei Ma's hand and ate up all the soup in the bowl, even drinking up all the soup. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and felt that she was alive again.
Nanny Wei silently cleaned up the dishes and was about to leave. Luo Lingxiu couldn't help but speak, "Hey, Nanny Wei..." As soon as she opened her mouth, Luo Lingxiu felt her face being pulled and it was burning with pain. She couldn't help but take a breath.
Nanny Wei looked back at Luo Lingxiu. Her once pretty face was now red and swollen, and it was almost impossible to tell what she looked like before. "What do you want, big nanny?"
Luo Lingxiu was a little embarrassed. When did she fall to the point where she needed to please servants? However, this was a different time. Luo Lingxiu suppressed her unhappiness and asked in a flattering way: "Mammy, has my aunt calmed down? You should say a few good words to my aunt and don't let her believe what that little bitch said. After this is over, I will never forget how good you were to me..."
Madam Wei couldn't help but interrupt Luo Lingxiu's words, "Madam, the truth of the matter will be determined by Madam when Second Master comes back. How can a few nice words from a servant like me change it? Please forgive me for speaking out of line. If you really care about Madam's health and are afraid that she will be angry, you shouldn't have done these things that made her angry."
After saying this, Wei Ma Ma left the bedroom without looking back and locked the door again. She heard the sound of a stool being kicked over to the ground from inside the room, shook her head and sighed. After coming out, Wei Ma Ma saw Miao standing motionless in the yard, and stepped forward and said, "Madam, it's late at night and the dew is heavy. You've been tired all day, so you should go back to your room and rest. The eldest grandmother has already eaten the noodles and asked me to say a few good words to you."
Miao sneered, "She is quite smart."
Madam Wei raised her eyes and looked in the direction of Yiqing Courtyard, and asked in a low voice: "What happened tonight was too big, and many people saw it. Even if we want to hide it, we can't. Over there... what are you going to do?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets on Qidian (). Your support is my greatest motivation.)
