The commotion was so loud that it looked like he was catching a thief. When Ji Man was turned into the front yard, he was still a little dazed.
"Why are you here?" The man sitting on the main seat had a very ugly expression on his face. Hearing what the servant told him, his eyes seemed to see right through her.
Ji Man didn't look up, she was more curious than why she was here, "Why did you find me?"
Thoughts Pavilion is a place where no one goes, and it stands to reason that even if she is not there, no one will find out. In the end, there was such a large group of house slaves looking for them with torches, why is this abnormal
Hearing these words, Ning Yuxuan felt a little unrepentant, and immediately said with a dark face: "Nie Sangyu, you are still in confinement, you go out privately, and hide in the backyard of Rose Garden secretly." By the woodpile, what do you want to do?"
Ji Man opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, someone came in from outside.
"My concubine pays my respects to Lord Hou. I heard that someone has found it." Mu Shuiqing's voice was rare and gentle, and she knelt beside her to salute.
Ning Yuxuan raised his hand and said, "Get up first."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis." Mu Shuiqing stood up slowly, and Ji Man knelt so that her knee hurt, so she stood up and rubbed it.
Mo Yuhou's face turned green with anger: "I told her to get up, it wasn't you, you continue to kneel for me!"
Of course I knew that it was either to let her get up, or to take the opportunity to rub her. Ji Man knelt down again without any resistance, and quietly padded his clothes a bit thicker.
Wen Wan sat on the side, and waited for Mo Yuhou to get angry enough, before persuading him in a soft voice: "Master Hou always listens to people's words first."
Ning Yuxuan frowned and looked at her: "I ran here in the middle of the night, what can I do?"
Ji Man rolled her eyes in her heart, but still had no choice but to explain in a good voice: "Clover went out for a trip in the afternoon and didn't come back again. The maidservant saw that it was getting dark, so I don't know if something happened to her, so I want to come out and look for it, but I don’t want to but get lost.”
"Lost?" Mu Shuiqing who was beside her whispered, looking very surprised. Immediately, he felt a little disrespectful, and smiled at Mo Yuhou: "This concubine is disrespectful."
Ning Yuxuan's face was ugly, but there was a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth: "You have been imprisoned for a long time, and you can't even find an excuse, right? Nie Sangyu, you have been in the mansion for six years, what is this brick and tile? How could you get lost in one place that you haven’t troubled about before? What’s wrong with getting lost, and you got lost in the backyard of Rose Garden?”
The Rose Garden is the place where the wife of the first wife lives. In the past, Nie Sangyu liked roses, so he planted roses in this place, and named it the Rose Garden. Wen Wan doesn't hate flowers either, so she stays.
Ji Man secretly pinched herself, how could she have forgotten that Nie Sangyu would not get lost in Moyuhou's mansion, she should have another reason. However, now that she said that she came here unintentionally, she didn't quite believe it. At that time, when there were servants passing by outside, she chose to climb over the wall and enter the yard. Since it is over the wall, it must be beyond debate.
"Whether Lord Hou believes it or not, the servant really came in by accident." Ji Man sighed and gave up resisting.
Ning Yuxuan snorted coldly, Wen Wan didn't speak anymore. Mu Shuiqing who was next to him waved, and Ban Xia brought a maid in.
"Sister Sangyu said that she wanted to find her maid, but it was true. The servant borrowed Clover to help Pinellia peel melon seeds. But I didn't expect that after only an hour of work, my sister was in a hurry to find someone. I used to always return Is Clover beaten all over?"
Clover was pushed to the ground, quickly followed Ji Man and knelt down, and called softly, "Master."
Ji Man raised his head and glanced at Mu Shuiqing, and said indifferently: "The slave girl is in Siguo Pavilion now, and there is only a girl named Clover beside her. Master Qing still has time in the afternoon and asked Banxia to come over and ask me to embroider a handkerchief for her. No matter how you peel melon seeds, I have to do it." Borrow someone from me?"
Mu Shuiqing smiled, looked at Ning Yuxuan's expression from the corner of the eye, and saw that he didn't seem to want to make decisions for Nie Sangyu, so she smiled again: "Borrowing a maid is a trivial matter, sister should explain it to Lord Hou first. , sneaked to the side of the woodpile in the rose garden, what are you going to do?"
When mentioning the pile of firewood, Ning Yuxuan frowned again, looked at the people kneeling on the ground, and said, "Nie Sangyu, you really don't change your mind. In the past two days, I thought you'd reformed yourself, but I didn't expect you to still be wicked. It's not enough to kill Ling'er, do you still want to kill Mrs. Hou?"
In their eyes, Nie Sangyu is probably a lunatic, the kind who has to light a fire when he sees a pile of firewood. Ji Man didn't know what had happened before that made Mo Yuhou look at Nie Sangyu with such eyes, but she didn't have a torch in her hand, what was the purpose of alluding to the pile of firewood? Falsely accusing her of burning Wen Wan to death
"The servant did nothing. If Lord Hou wants to convict him, he has to give a reason." Ji Man said calmly: "The reason is right, and the servant is willing to be punished."
Ning Yuxuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Do you think I can't cure you because I don't have evidence in my hand?"
Ji Man said nothing.
"Very good." Mo Yuhou laughed angrily: "No one caught you on the spot for something, but you escaped from the house and trespassed in the rose garden, do you agree with these two points?"
Ji Man nodded: "I do."
Alfalfa behind her trembled, and there was a bit of crying in her voice: "Master..."
"If you admit it, you will be subject to the family law." Ning Yuxuan paused: "Are you willing to be punished?"
"Yes." There's no good fruit for being noisy, this man obviously hates Nie Sangyu, and wants to protect Wen Wan, so why is she still struggling, it's too early to punish her.
Mo Yuhou was silent for a while, as if a little surprised. But with so many people present, he didn't show anything, he just said: "In this case, Steward Qian, take her down and use family law."
"Of order." Steward Qian waved his hand, and the two house slaves came up to lift Ji Man out of the main house and into the yard.
Clover was frightened, she didn't expect her master to accept the family law so calmly. If it wasn't for him, the master wouldn't have left the Thinking Pavilion!
Thinking of this, Alfalfa burst into tears, and kowtowed to Mo Yuhou vigorously: "Master Hou, the master's health is already very bad, and he can't stand the family law. Let the servant come, let the servant come! I beg you!"
Ning Yuxuan turned a deaf ear to it, and no one in the room, including Wen Wan, made a sound. Alfalfa looked up at them in despair, then turned around and crawled into the yard on her knees.
Ji Man was very calm, but when Steward Qian brought the cane, she felt guilty.
Be good, the Hou family's family law is so strict? Shouldn't the normal situation be a rattan cane? Good guy, this method is actually made of five rattan canes twisted, if I knew it, I would have struggled again!
Regretted in his heart, but seeing Clover crawling out crying miserably, Ji Man felt a little uncomfortable, so he could only comfort her with a tense face and fearlessness: "Clover, don't cry, it doesn't hurt too much, go back Just rest for two days."
Clover shook her head, tears streaming down her face, and kowtowed to her so hard that her forehead was red.
Ji Man couldn't bear to watch it, she was never good at dealing with this kind of scene, so she simply closed her eyes.
Ning Yuxuan, Wen Wan, and Mu Shuiqing all came out. The first two had complicated expressions, while the third was purely watching the fun and gloating a little.
The family law of Moyuhou's mansion is ten rattan canes, Ji Man thinks it should not be particularly difficult.
But I didn't expect that the servant who used the family law didn't know how much he hated her. When the cane came down, she fell forward without kneeling firmly. There was a moment of numbness on her back, followed by overwhelming pain.
No modern person has ever suffered such a crime, Ji Man didn't want to show weakness and tears came down, he gritted his teeth and knelt down again, next to the remaining rattan.
Ning Yuxuan watched coldly, watching the man in the yard clenched his fists, cold sweat dripped down his forehead, he just bit his lip and said nothing. In the past, how could she endure such a crime
By the seventh stroke, Ji Man felt dizzy from the pain, and unconsciously opened his eyes to look at Mo Yuhou.
The man circled his new wife, looking at her expressionlessly.
Nie Sangyu had been with him for six years anyway, and he was so cruel that he really hadn't been tempted by her at all.
"I hate him." There was a voice in my head, crying heartbreakingly.
"Well, I hate him too." Ji Man replied softly, "I will help you get it back."
Her eyes were cold, no longer the hotness of looking at him before. Ning Yuxuan watched Nie Sangyu finish bearing the family law, didn't say much, and waved for someone to carry her back.
Clover cried until her voice became hoarse, and rushed to Ji Man's side, but she couldn't help, she could only keep whimpering.
"It's okay, Sister Jiang and Little Luobotou were worse off than me." Ji Man opened his eyes, smiled at Clover, "Revolution always requires sacrifice."
Clover couldn't understand, but cried even harder.
Back at Siguo Pavilion, Wen Wan sent someone to deliver the medicine, and Clover carefully took off her clothes and applied the medicine. Ji Man's face was pale from the pain, and his back was swollen.
"It's the servant who hurt you." Clover couldn't help crying again: "The servant wanted to come back earlier, but Master Qing stopped him."
"It's none of your business, I'm too stupid." Ji Man grinned and said, "If you don't go out in such a hurry, you will be fine, or if you don't go to the Rose Garden, you won't make Ning Yuxuan so angry. But I control If you can’t hold back your body, you can go to the Rose Garden.”
Clover cried harder: "That's your house, you've lived in it for six years."
Ji Man was silent for a while, and a sense of sadness welled up in his heart.
Nie Sangyu was sad, and she had to be sad too. Nie Sangyu's heart ached, and her heart ached too. Now Nie Sangyu's body hurts like it's about to split open, and she has to suffer the crime as well.
She always wanted to live a good life in this world from the perspective of a bystander, but she never thought that life would not let her live a good life.
She is Nie Sangyu, she should be Nie Sangyu well, listen to what she is thinking, and play her role seriously.
After drinking a bowl of bitter medicine, she gritted her teeth to get over the taste, Ji Man thought, she has to listen to Nie Sangyu's heart, what she wants to do, and discuss it with her. Otherwise, if she uses this body to strangle Wen Wan next time, she will suffer accordingly.
