Mrs. Xie has supreme authority in the Xie family. This dynasty governs the world with filial piety. Even if Xie Yuncang was in Wenyuan Pavilion, he would not dare to neglect the old lady in the mansion.
The old lady has always held her own identity and will never make things difficult for the younger generation. Most of the time, she is the image of a kind and old lady.
Even though she had a two-time visit to Shou'an Hall, she just sat aside, posing as the authority of her parents, and dealing with people's affairs was done by Xie Yuncang.
This is the first time that this kind of emotion is exposed in front of the whole family.
The three daughters-in-law stood up quickly.
Yu quickly met him, "What happened to my mother? It made you so angry?"
An also hurriedly said: "If you have any mother, just leave it to your daughter-in-law to deal with it. Don't be angry. It's really not worth it for those little hoofs!"
Qi's face was anxious, and he only followed the two sisters-in-law to comfort the old lady, but he couldn't say anything nice. Instead, he could see a little nervousness from the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
"Angry? I'm just a dead person! Just sit in this room and listen to you, and when you leave this yard, which of you takes me seriously?
If I close my eyes, you will make trouble, but I didn’t close my eyes and still have to take care of the family affairs, just for fear that I will go down in the future and have no shame to meet the ancestors of the Xie family!”
This is really serious. It is not about the servants in the mansion, but about the masters and wives in charge of the family.
The three wives knelt down immediately after hearing this. Although the others didn't know what was going on, they all knelt down one after another.
"If we do something wrong, our mother will just blame us. We as juniors will never dare to say anything. We just hope that you must not be angry, otherwise this will..."
But the old lady didn't listen to them and just sternly said to the door: "I haven't tied it up yet!"
The mothers with people tied outside had been waiting tremblingly, and saw that several masters in the room had knelt down and did not dare to move forward at all.
Now that he heard the old lady's words, he hurriedly tied the person to the middle of the house.
When they saw the man, everyone in the room was shocked.
Xie Shuhua's face was even pale as paper, and she couldn't help but tremble gently.
Qi was also a little panicked and barely maintained his calmness on his face. The handkerchief in his hand had been squeezed out of shape. "This... isn't this Dongxue in front of Shu'er? What makes you unhappy? Just leave it to..."
She didn't finish her words, but the old lady didn't even look at her, and just pointed at Dongxue and shouted angrily: "What are you doing when you tie it in the house?! Between the yard, I took my pants and beat me!"
Xie Shuhua was originally organizing language in his mind, thinking about how to excuse today's matters, but the old lady had no intention of judging it.
The mothers hurriedly escorted people outside with brisk steps.
When Dongxue came in, she was completely depressed. When she saw Qi talking, hope ignited in her eyes, but she didn't dare to speak rashly.
Seeing that the old lady was about to be punished immediately, she panicked and hurriedly begged for mercy.
Before the word "free life" was said, the old lady heard him say, "Don't tell her to quarrel!"
So Dongxue was blocked strongly and her hands and feet were tied to the spring stool.
The two big-sleeved and round-waisted women next to them took off her pants at once. Everyone present did not dare to say anything, but just turned their eyes open.
Xie Songhua felt a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help but clench his fingers.
Dongxue is the first-class maid in front of the girl. Except for the wife, they are decent. In the eyes of the servants below, they are all like deputy ladies.
On weekdays, the mothers and maids below dare not provoke her. When they see her in trouble, those who don’t like her on weekdays will hide together in the corner to watch the fun.
He took off his pants and hit the board, but he didn't lose his life, and he also lost all his face. Where can he look up and do things in the mansion in the future?
With the order from Mother Shen, the old lady's board fell firmly on Dongxue Xuexue's soft white legs. An extremely suppressed muffled groan overflowed from Dongxue's mouth with the muffled sound of the board falling.
How did the girls in the boudoir have seen such a scene? They were all so scared that they were not afraid to shout it out when the old lady was angry. They could only hold the handkerchief tightly and try to ignore the situation there.
However, the old lady looked at the situation in the yard coldly, and the expression on her face did not change at all.
Mother Shen was the old lady's messenger. She didn't say anything, so the women took turns to raise their sticks to greet Dongxue.
In the rage of the master, the woman in charge of beating the board did not dare to be favored. She tried every move. In just five or six strokes, the fine skin and tender flesh on Dong Xue's legs were smashed and Hong immediately saw him.
Her face turned from white to red to purple, and it was completely washed away.
The entire Shouan Hall was quiet. No matter in the yard or the room, no one dared to say a word, and even didn't dare to move.
There seemed to be no sound in the world, only the blunt and heavy sound of the blow came, and each one seemed to hit people's eardrums, making people tighten their bodies.
After more than twenty sticks down, Dongxue's pretty face could not tell what she had before. Blood oozed out of her mouth and nose, but she could never make a sound in her throat.
As for the piece from waist to legs, I could hardly see it anymore. The stick in the old woman's hand was covered with flesh and blood.
Xie Li was so timid that he almost couldn't stand, and the other girls hid behind the people next to him.
Xie Shuhua was almost frightened in Qi's arms, and bit his handkerchief tightly in his mouth and did not dare to speak.
Xie Songhua felt that he was having difficulty breathing, and his nails on both hands were almost pinching into his palms.
She is a doctor, and has seen many life and death, and has also seen all kinds of bloody scenes.
Her ability to withstand should be better than these little girls, but she still couldn't help but tremble slightly.
This is a scene she had never seen in that era and dared not imagine.
She had no doubt that if the old lady asked someone to fight like this, Dongxue would be beaten to death.
But this is the world of this era, because Dongxue is just a slave, and her power of life and death is in the hands of her master.
Is she innocent?
Xie Songhua didn't know if it was innocent. She participated in those things, and she followed Xie Shuhua's instructions. From this point of view, she seemed to be innocent.
But does she have any choice?
Maybe there is some room, but there is absolutely no more. After all, if you take the wrong chess, you will die, not the one who holds the chess.
According to Xie Songhua's perception, this matter should not be handled like this. The one who should be punished the most is clearly the initiator and the behind-the-scenes planner.
But can she plead for Dongxue?
cannot!
She has no position.
What's more, she is just a chess piece.
In this place, everyone may be chess pieces, but under these chess pieces, there are their own chess pieces, which is feudal society.
She has read it in history books for a long time.
The board was still going on, and no one dared to watch the scene outside. Even the people under him who had originally planned to see Dongxue lively were trembling at this moment, and they couldn't say a word.
Xie Shuhua still couldn't help but struggle to come out of Qi's arms, "Grandmother! Grandmother, please spare her life! She has served me for so many years, grandmother!"
However, the old lady didn't say a word and still stared outside, as if she was waiting for Dongxue to be beaten to death.
But at this time, Mother Shen came in and replied, "Old Madam, I'm almost out of breath."
