Li made a fuss for most of the night, but in the end he couldn't wait to return to Xia Zhihe, and finally couldn't bear to rest.
The next morning, Mrs. Li woke up early again. She didn't even care about the trivial matters in the house. She waited in the house for Xia Zhihe to come back from the court, so that she could immediately question Xia Zhihe about the Sun family's property and It’s about not coming back last night!
However, Mrs. Li had not seen Xia Zhihe come back from the morning until the usual court time, and then until the lunch time. Her face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and her eyes were filled with clouds, and she might run away at any time. status.
"Why did the morning court take so long today? You haven't gone to court yet?" Ms. Li asked the maid beside her with a gloomy face.
The maidservant was serving Mr. Li fearfully, but suddenly she was asked this question by Mr. Li, and she quickly lowered her head and went down to inquire about the news.
But when the maid came back after inquiring about the news, the look on her face became even more frightened and uneasy. She whispered in a thin voice: "I have inquired about this... The morning session ended very early today..."
"What?!" Mrs. Li suddenly stood up after hearing this, with a look of shock and anger on her face, and said sternly, "You have already gone to court? Why hasn't the master returned home yet?! Where has he been?!"
The maid's head dropped even lower: "Slave...I don't know, the servant at the door said that the master has not come back, nor has he sent anyone to send a message..."
"So, that bastard Xia Zhihe is missing?!" Mrs. Li was really angry now, and she scolded her husband without any hesitation, with a particularly terrifying look on her face.
The maid did not dare to answer these words. She could only stand there with her head bowed, trying to reduce her presence, hoping that Mrs. Li would not be angry at her.
However, the maid's prayers obviously had no effect. Mrs. Li glared at the maid angrily, grabbed the bowl in front of her and threw it at the maid!
The maid had her head lowered, so she didn't see Li's movements at all, but even if she saw it, she probably wouldn't dare to dodge it, because she knew very well that if she dared to dodge, the consequences would only be worse!
"ah--!"
The bowl hit the maid's head hard. The maid felt a sudden sharp pain in her forehead. She felt dizzy for a moment. She only had time to let out a scream before she collapsed on the ground, helpless. He covered his forehead.
"What's your name?! It makes it look like I'm not abusing you? Bitch! You just got hit by a bowl and screamed like you were about to die. Who are you showing this to?! Do you also want to hook up with me? You guys These cheap maids all want to seduce the master and crawl into his bed, don't even think about it!" Mrs. Li suddenly started cursing, one sentence after another without stopping.
The maid lay on the ground for a while before she regained her composure. The sticky feeling under her palms told her that she must have been bleeding, but she did not dare to leave without permission from Mrs. Li at this time, otherwise she would be afraid that even this door would be closed. If she can't get out, she will get new wounds!
But the maid was very anxious. She didn't know the specific location of the injury, whether it was in her hair or on the skin on her forehead. If it was on her skin, wouldn't she be disfigured? !
Thinking of this, the maid's heart was full of grievances. She was obviously just replying, but she was angered like this. And in this grievance, a sense of hatred gradually arose. If she was disfigured, how could she marry in the future? people? If the madam were not so domineering and authoritative, then based on the way the master looked at her, she might have become an aunt...
Mrs. Li didn't know that this maid was already thinking so much. Looking at the maid lying on the ground, as humble as dust, and at the slender figure of the girl, she felt that the anger in her heart was getting stronger.
At the same time, she remembered that in recent years, some maids who didn't know the heights of the world always dreamed of climbing into Xia Zhihe's bed, thinking that they could become a concubine in the mansion and become half a master.
But what if you really succeed in climbing into bed? They are just a bunch of lowly slaves, why don't they just let themselves be dealt with by themselves? There were once two maids who successfully crawled into bed, but in the end they were sold into a brothel and their lives were worse than death!
It was precisely because of recalling these things that Mrs. Li became even more furious. Looking at the young and energetic maid in front of her, although she was mediocre in appearance, this suspicion arose in her heart.
Mr. Li didn't care whether his guess was right or not, but so what if he guessed wrong? You are just a slave, why don't you just let yourself be beaten and scolded?
But remembering those maids climbing into bed in the past, it also made Ms. Li wake up. Xia Zhihe had not returned home all day and night. Could it be that he really fell in love with a girl and was living happily outside and couldn't bear to go back home? !
Thinking this, Mrs. Li became even more angry. She picked up the tea cup at hand and threw it towards the maid's back, hitting her back!
"Get out of here! Useless trash! You'd better not let me see that you have any evil thoughts about me, otherwise you will end up in so many brothels in the capital!" At this moment, Mrs. Li only felt that this maid was an eyesore. That young body seemed to remind her that she was no longer young!
The maid was hit on the back again. This time she bit her lip tightly and did not dare to make a sound, because she knew that if she made a sound, she would definitely get another beating!
She forced her screams back into her stomach. As soon as the maid heard Mrs. Li calling her to get out, she immediately stood up and bowed back. If she didn't leave quickly, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to leave!
After finally exiting the main room and leaving the furious Mr. Li, the maid felt as if she had escaped a great disaster.
She struggled to hold on to the wall and slowly walked toward her house. The pain in her body and the darkness in front of her eyes reminded her of what had just happened.
She obviously did nothing wrong, why was she treated like this by Mr. Li? On weekdays, she always shared Li's worries, but what did she get in the end? Being beaten and scolded like an animal? !
She is not willing to give in!
Thinking of the master's elegant face and the gentle smile he always had when he looked at her, she gritted her teeth and her eyes gradually turned cold.
When she walked all the way back to her house with difficulty, she had already made up her mind. Since Madam treated her like this, don't blame her for being ruthless! After all, she still wants to live well! She also wants to live a good life!
After quickly treating the wounds on her body, she carefully examined the wound on her forehead. Fortunately, it was in her hair and not exposed.
She breathed a sigh of relief. After packing herself up, she avoided the other servants in the yard and quietly walked towards the study...
