Chapter 181: The Death of Xia Yin's Maid(1/2)
"It's nothing serious, just a little frightened."
Doctor Bai gently checked Yi's pulse and prescribed a prescription to soothe the nerves and nourish the brain.
Before leaving, he told her, "Don't let her worry anymore these days."
Yi Mingxue took the prescription and sent Doctor Bai out.
When she arrived at the door, she handed over the consultation fee and said, "Excuse me for coming here so late. My fifth brother is also the same. I have to bother you for more than a month."
Doctor Bai accepted the consultation fee and said with a smile, "Yutang is now a close disciple of my great uncle. If we were to rank him in terms of seniority, I would have to call him my junior uncle. It is my honor that he is willing to recuperate in my hospital."
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Doctor Bai left in the night.
When she returned to the guest room, Yi Qingqing had already woken up.
Seeing Yi Mingxue coming back, Yi Qingqing immediately wanted to get up from the bed.
He muttered, "Sister, I'm fine..."
But his eyes were still red, as if he had cried again.
Everyone just thought she was frightened, and only Yi Mingxue knew.
This is a knot in the mind.
After seeing off Lin Pianwu and Huang Minglan's mother and daughter, Yi Mingxue came to Yi Qingqing's bed.
Although the girl lying down had her eyes closed, her breathing was uneven, and she was obviously pretending to sleep.
Yi Mingxue ignored her and said directly, "Are you blaming me?"
Yi Qingqing stood up immediately, shaking her head like a rattle.
"I didn't! I just..."
"Just pity them? Want to save them?"
"Yeah." As she said that, the girl's tears rolled down again, "Sister Mingwei is a good person. If she hadn't helped me... I would have been beaten... to death..."
She should be talking about one of those girls.
Yi Mingxue sighed softly and was about to speak.
Suddenly, Yi Changle, who had been eavesdropping for an unknown amount of time, burst in.
He opened his mouth and said, "Second sister, do you know where Su Yuezhai is? My eldest sister took the risk to save you today, and she has already offended the old bustard. If she goes to save those people who have only met each other for you again, what consequences will you have?
Have you thought about it?"
Of course Yi Qingqing thought about it.
So she never blamed her eldest sister, she was just sad and sad.
Why is there such a dirty place and such vicious people forcing good girls into prostitution?
"Okay." Yi Mingxue stopped Yi Changle, "The second child was very frightened today, let her rest early."
Then he said softly to Yi, "If you are afraid, I will ask Bao'er to sleep with you."
Yi nodded lightly, and none of the three sisters spoke again.
After walking out of the room, Yi Mingxue's expression was still terrifyingly gloomy.
Yi Changle already knew what happened at the Tinglan meeting today from the mouths of Shopkeeper Mei and others.
There was also a fire in her heart. Seeing no one around, she asked.
"Sister, this matter is not over yet, right?"
Yi Mingxue turned to look at her, a dark smile appearing on her lips.
"certainly!"
…
Three days later.
The entire Huzhou County is hotly discussing a shocking incident.
It was said that the personal maid of a certain lady named Xia from Kyoto was abducted by someone.
Those people don't know the other party's identity either.
Even if I met a woman walking alone in a remote alley in the middle of the night, she still looked decent.
Such a good opportunity cannot be wasted.
After kidnapping the person, those people were afraid of the long nights and dreams, so they sold the person to a brothel on Hualiu Street.
The maid pretended to be obedient at first, but when she was receiving guests, she suddenly took out a pair of scissors.
He actually cut off the guest's vital parts on the spot.
The guest was furious and beat the maid to death on the spot.
The matter went to the county magistrate's court.
Miss Xia, who came from Kyoto, demanded to be repaid with her life.
However, the murderer was the only son of Fa Suan in the army. Fa Suan's wife died early, leaving him with only this single seedling.
Now that the lifeblood of the only son has been destroyed, it is tantamount to annihilating the future of his family.
As a result, both sides made a big fuss in court.
Moreover, because the young master had a job in the army, the other party complained that it was the maid who attacked the military personnel first, and that he was just protecting himself.
Moreover, maids are inherently cheap.
According to the law, if a lowly person attacks a good citizen, good people can definitely be killed.
Miss Xia was rendered speechless by the argument.
I wanted to use my status to suppress others, but I didn't expect that father and son would never accept this trick.
Not only was she asked to pay compensation, but she was also asked to file a lawsuit in Kyoto and ask the elders of her family to come forward and give an explanation.
This incident made Xia Yin very angry.
However, Magistrate Zhu even tried to persuade her earnestly.
Although Fa Suan is not a serious official position, he is in charge of all expenses related to the war between the three armies.
It is directly subordinate to the generals of the three armies and must report to the general every month.
Even if it is him, he must be polite to the other party.
The most important thing is that the leaders of the three armies currently guarding the southwest border are the sworn enemies of the powerful Prime Minister Xia Zhonghai for many years.
If this matter comes to him, he will talk about it in the court and refer to Xia Xiang's book.
The matter was too big.
Xia Yin was so angry that she smashed everything in the house and still couldn't understand her hatred.
Magistrate Zhu said so much, just to persuade himself to bow his head.
But it was clear that someone kidnapped Yingchun out of the house first, and that's how the whole mess happened.
Magistrate Zhu didn't go to arrest the captors, so he just kept making mud here.
"What if I don't agree to the settlement?"
Xia Yin suppressed the anger in her heart and said in a deep voice.
Magistrate Zhu's patience has run out, "Then I can only judge according to the law."
According to the law, she loses.
Xia Yin was so angry that she almost spit out blood.
Magistrate Zhu had finished saying what he needed to say, and stood up to urge her.
"How? Is it a settlement or a legal judgment? If you don't apologize and pay for it, I guess the certificate of Shen Xiaxiang will be sent out of the city tomorrow."
Xia Yin clenched her fists tightly and remained silent.
Magistrate Zhu shook his head, turned and left.
When I walked to the door, I saw my eldest daughter Zhu Huanpei.
His face darkened and he complained in a low voice, "She is just a concubine, but she really thinks she is nothing."
After saying that, he said to Zhu Huanpei, "Send him away quickly. Living at home will be a disaster."
Zhu Huanpei also had the same idea.
Ever since that day at the Tinglan meeting, Xia Yin framed Yi Qingqing for no reason.
She felt uncomfortable all over.
A noble lady from Kyoto with status and education actually did such a nasty thing.
It's really a disgrace to the lintel and a stain on the family tradition.
