As if a bolt from the blue had hit the top of his head, Zhong Wenjin panicked and wanted to sit up, but as soon as he moved, unbearable pain came from all over his body.
Zhong Wenjin cried out.
Forced to sit up, the brocade quilt slipped off, and he looked down, shocked!
I saw messes everywhere on my body, ambiguous red marks, tooth marks and some inexplicable scratches, plus the discomfort of my limbs, waist and back, a large wave of memories flooded into my mind instantly.
There was a spring breeze last night, and Zhong Wenjin almost exhausted all his strength, allowing Xie Zhaoxue to do whatever he wanted, all the sounds and images were intertwined, and the scenes became clear.
Zhong Wenjin thought he would die on this bed. He had never experienced such an extreme feeling in his life. Until the end, his voice was a weak cry.
Unexpectedly, Xie Zhaoxue, who looks upright on weekdays, rolled on the bed but didn't know how to restrain herself at all. She yelled kindly at each little nephew, but in the end, she was merciless and tossed him to death.
Fortunately, Xie Zhaoxue still knew to give him a sigh of relief. At that time, Zhong Wenjin could no longer tell the difference between east, west, and north, and he could snore as soon as he closed his eyes.
But Xie Zhaoxue forced someone to fetch hot water, put him in the water to wash him well, and fed him most of the pastries in the food box before he stopped tossing and let him sleep.
This time, I fell asleep directly after noon.
Zhong Wenjin covered his head, thinking that this is the end of the game.
He was indeed an out-and-out lunatic, and he actually dragged Xie Zhaoxue into the abyss and fell into the quagmire with him.
Zhong Wenjin has lost the Zhong family, has no restraints, and can be as crazy as he wants, but Xie Zhaoxue is different. Xie Zhaoxue is the only son of the Xie family, the hope of the family, and even his uncle in name.
If this matter gets out, how will the world view the Xie family? How to criticize Xie Zhaoxue? As long as he thought of him being judged by the world, Zhong Wenjin felt his blood surge and he couldn't breathe.
This matter must be suppressed, hidden.
A huge pressure sat on Zhong Wenjin's heart, making him a little suffocated, but he was not the only one, Xie Zhaoxue must have the same thoughts as him.
He grew up with Xie Zhaoxue, and he spent too much time focusing on Xie Zhaoxue.
In other words, Zhong Wenjin knew Xie Zhaoxue.
When this happened, Xie Zhaoxue must be the first person who wanted to hide it, and he couldn't let the third person know.
The most urgent task is to find the person who drugged Xie Zhaoxue tea yesterday, but there is no need to search carefully, Zhong Wenjin already has a candidate in his mind.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, a trace of cruelty flashed across his eyes, rubbed his face, and opened his mouth to call someone, but the voice he made was rough and ugly, very hoarse, thinking that it was because of shouting all night last night, he couldn't get angry .
"Come on! Come on!" Zhong Wenjin waved his painful arm and knocked on the head of the bed, making a thumping sound.
Immediately afterwards, the door opened, and a maid came in with small steps and stopped by the table in the outer room, "Master Zhong, what are your orders?"
Zhong Wenjin glanced at the bed curtain, vaguely confirmed that people outside could not see him, then coughed dryly twice, "Bring me a set of clothes, yesterday's clothes were sprinkled with tea by me."
The coat is still wearable, it was taken off yesterday before Xie Zhaoxue entered the house, but the middle coat and inner coat were ruined by him.
Unexpectedly, the maid pursed her lips and smiled, "Master Zhong, the young master told you to lie down and wait for him to come back. If you are hungry or thirsty, this subordinate will bring you food and drink."
Zhong Wenjin frowned, savored the words carefully, and noticed something was wrong, this maid called him "Master Zhong"? Still calling himself a "subordinate"? Obviously not a servant of the mansion.
He suddenly remembered that Xie Zhaoxue had two powerful confidantes, a man and a woman, who were dedicated to handling private affairs for Xie Zhaoxue, who followed him in the dark when there was nothing to do, and were the first to rush out with a knife when there was something to do.
Those two people were indeed not servants of the mansion, but Xie Zhaoxue's personal subordinates. To put it plainly, even Xie Chengran couldn't control those two people.
He glanced at the blurry figure standing outside, and stretched out his hand to lift the curtain on one side of the bed, and sure enough, he saw that the woman was one of the two subordinates.
His eyes widened slightly in shock, "How is this possible?"
Xie Zhaoxue actually sent her here, doesn't that mean...
The female dark guard glanced at the marks on his skin, with a faint smile on the corner of her eyes, she lowered her eyes and said, "Master Zhong, the young master said that you can't walk around after taking the medicine. If you have anything to do, just tell your subordinates." Just say it."
Zhong Wenjin shook his hands, and the curtain of the bed fell down again, covering his figure. Under the dimness, he could see that his body was trembling slightly.
Maybe others can't see it, but Zhong Wenjin himself has a deep understanding, his whole heart is beating rapidly, bumping around.
Xie Zhaoxue What does this mean? He actually told someone else? Isn't he going to put the matter down? What is he thinking
It didn't take long for Zhong Wenjin to come to his senses after his mind went blank. Although the female guard repeatedly emphasized that Xie Zhaoxue didn't allow him to walk around in the ground, he still insisted on putting on his clothes and mask.
As soon as he fell to the ground, his legs trembled tremblingly, and the feeling was very uncomfortable. Zhong Wenjin scolded Xie Zhaoxue several times in secret, and walked around the room for a few times with his teeth pressed, only then could he control the soreness in his thighs. , Try to pretend nothing happened.
As soon as he went out, he realized that there was only the female guard guarding the door. Usually, all the servants had withdrawn. Thinking of the inexplicable look in the female guard's eyes, he felt ashamed for the first time, coughed and asked, "Who are the servants?" What about people?"
"When the young master came back yesterday, they were all removed." She seemed to see the worries in Zhong Wenjin's heart, and said bluntly, "Don't worry, my lord, no one will know."
Zhong Wenjin glared at her, "Aren't you human? You're talking nonsense with my eyes open in broad daylight!"
The female hidden guard, "...my lord taught me a very good lesson."
He snorted softly and rolled his eyes, "Where's Ding Ziyun?"
"Who is your lord talking about?" The female dark guard looked confused.
Presumably she didn't know who Ding Ziyun was, Zhong Wenjin thought for a while and said, "It's the servant standing in front of my door, a fair-looking woman."
"The previous batch of servants should have been transferred to the warehouse in the backyard for guarding. Your Excellency is going?" She looked at Zhong Wenjin in surprise, very doubtful whether he could leave.
As soon as Zhong Wenjin saw this look, he was immediately annoyed. He hadn't been underestimated by that girl at such a young age. He hummed, "Of course I'm going! I'm going to do business!"
As he spoke, he walked forward with his legs. He didn't control the distance in the first step, and the distance was a little too big, which caused severe pain in the heel of his leg. forward.
After walking for a while, when he looked back, he could no longer see his own house, so Zhong Wenjin's steps became smaller and he walked slowly towards the backyard.
When Ding Ziyun was found, she was packing her things, and when she came out and saw Zhong Wenjin, her face turned pale instantly.
With a pale face, Zhong Wenjin took her to a remote place, and asked straight to the point in a cold voice, "Did you inject the poison in Xie Zhaoxue's tea?"
Ding Ziyun stared straight at him, then suddenly looked down, stopped on the side of his neck, and said lightly, "So I went to your place last night."
Realizing that the red seal was exposed, Zhong Wenjin quickly pulled his collar, and said angrily, "Ding Ziyun, you really have the guts to drug him? I have warned you not to have such thoughts, no? To think that you would do such an evil thing!"
"I'm a fool?" Ding Ziyun became more and more calm as if he was going all out, with a cold look on his face, and sneered, "Even if I am a fool, I can't compare with you, Mr. Li. I took advantage of the emptiness, and I must have been there last night." Are you living comfortably? Are you amused by pretending to question me today? "
"I was forced!" Zhong Wenjin yelled against his will.
She sneered.
Seeing her like this, Zhong Wenjin said to himself, don't think that I will just change my face and temper, and I must treat you well today.
Now that he knew that his hands and feet were inconvenient to do things, if he acted rashly, he would be the one who would suffer, so he whistled lightly, "Come out."
As expected, the female guard was watching near him, and when she heard the whistle, she jumped out and landed lightly in front of Zhong Wenjin, "My lord, please order."
"Hang her up for me!" Zhong Wenjin pointed at Ding Ziyun and said fiercely, "Hang her from a tree!"
The female dark guard acted decisively, and immediately turned around like a ghost, touched Ding Ziyun's back, grabbed her hands and twisted her behind her back.
Panic appeared on Ding Ziyun's face. Before he could say anything, he felt a pain in his hands, and his body was pressed down. When his knees were bent, he knelt down unconsciously, and his knees made a crisp sound.
The female dark guard pulled out the rope from her waist, and one end of the rope was tied with a four-claw iron hook. She directly wrapped Ding Ziyun's arms around her and dragged her down the tree.
Ding Ziyun finally came to her senses and shouted, "What are you doing! Let me go! I am no longer a servant of the Xie Mansion! You have no right to tie me up!"
Zhong Wenjin followed and said with a sneer, "I want to tie you up, regardless of whether you are a servant of the Xie family."
Thinking in his heart, for so many years, he has taught others never to look at his status, unless Ding Ziyun is a relative of the emperor like His Highness Ninth Prince...
When Ding Ziyun was screaming, the female dark guard had already tied her tightly and stood aside for orders.
"You woman, you obviously don't have an alluring face, but you have a sweet dream of turning a sparrow into a phoenix. When I first saw you, I should pour you a pot of cold water, and at least let you know who you are. What virtue."
Zhong Wenjin couldn't help but opened his mouth and scolded the person first, "I said earlier that even if you are a concubine, your status is not enough. Even if you succeeded last night, you will either be kicked out of the mansion today, or you will be a housewife. , officials like the Xie family, if you want a woman, someone will line up to send it to you, so what are you?"
Ding Ziyun's face was full of complex expressions, with various colors. At first, he was a little annoyed, but then his expression faded, showing helplessness. Finally, he said in a low voice, "If you don't try, how will you know the result?"
"At this time, you are still so delusional?" Zhong Wenjin couldn't stop laughing, he never thought that Ding Ziyun, a seemingly honest girl from a good family, was stupid and greedy in the mainland.
"I have no other choice." Ding Ziyun bit her lower lip tightly, and tears welled up all at once, "All the pigs in our family died overnight! You saw it too, the blood was drained, not a single one What's left, we sell the pork, no matter how low the price is, no one dares to buy it, and in the end all the pork stinks and loses everything."
"My grandfather was addicted to gambling, and he wanted to send me to Yufu Tower to pay off the gambling debts. I had no other way out, so I came up with this plan..."
Ding Ziyun's appearance is not high-class, but at this moment, the appearance of Lihua with rain, coupled with the sobbing and soft voice, is really pitiful.
But Zhong Wenjin watched coldly, "This is your own business."
Ding Ziyun didn't expect his tone to be so cold, her body trembled, and he continued, "Natural disasters and man-made disasters don't only happen in your home. Although you were unlucky first, it's wrong for you to think badly about others. Don't you think that you can get forgiveness from others by using this extremely disgusting method to entrap others, and then explaining that you have nowhere to go?"
There was iciness in Zhong Wenjin's words, he took a step towards Ding Ziyun, and said in a low voice, "You should be thankful now, if it were me before, your family should be preparing for your funeral at this time."
Ding Ziyun looked at him, opened her mouth, but couldn't speak, she had a bland and even ugly face, but there was an oppressive force between her brows, which made her shrink back involuntarily.
Zhong Wenjin's emotions are very straightforward, especially when he is threatening others, he is full of ferocity, but it is a pity that the mask covering his face completely covers his expression.
"Master Xie has already kicked me out of the house." She lowered her head, no longer as energetic as before.
Just driving her out of the house is too cheap for her. Anyway, she suffered a night of crimes!
Zhong Wenjin looked up at the sunlight, then turned to the female guard and said, "Ask someone to bring me a recliner, I want to bask in the sun."
The sun in winter was rarely warm, Zhong Wenjin didn't move as soon as he lay down on it, and had his food and drink delivered to him.
After Xie Zhaoxue returned to the mansion, she went straight to Zhong Wenjin's room in the first direction. Once she entered, it was empty.
I came out and randomly picked someone up and asked him where he was. After passing by, I saw him leisurely lying on a deck chair basking in the sun, and beside him was Ding Ziyun tied to a tree with a painful expression on his face.
"Little Jin." He called out.
This sound was Zhong Wenjin's nightmare. Originally, he was still lying comfortably, but the moment he heard the sound, he immediately sat up from the reclining chair.
