Thinking of that cheap girl Taohong, Xu Jinyao's face became extremely ferocious.
Xu Jinyao always likes to strike first. So, the next day, she secretly sent someone to the black market in the west district of the capital to buy the mute medicine.
"Sister Taohong, hurry up, the master wants you to come in and serve!" A little girl hurried over and shouted.
"Humph, it's just a matter of day to day." Taohong thought angrily: If she hadn't stopped him, the third prince would have been made a concubine for her after that night! She had heard that after being favored by him, many maids in the house were turned into concubines by him, with their own yards and maids to serve them. Only she is still a maid.
Because she was not convinced, Taohong also neglected her master's service a lot. After drinking the tea in her hand, Taohong twisted her waist and walked slowly to Xu Jinyao, "Madam, what do you want from me?"
Xu Jinyao looked at her, smiled slightly, and then waved. The two women next to her rushed up and pressed Taohong to the ground. The other woman opened her mouth and drank the medicine directly.
Taohong was shocked by this sudden change and wanted to shout loudly, but suddenly she felt her throat was burning.
She lay on the ground moaning in pain, but no one paid attention to her. She wanted to shout for help, but found that she couldn't say a word. At this time, she finally realized that she was afraid. How could she be so stupid that she dared not take Madam seriously? Thinking of this, she quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
Xu Jinyao stepped forward and slapped her twice, and immediately blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, "Humph, you cheap girl, do you think you can be the master if you climb a high branch? It's a good idea!"
She asked her mother-in-law to hold Taohong, and they went to the third prince's main courtyard together.
Taohong didn't know what her master was going to do, but there was boundless fear in her heart. She struggled hard, but the two women were holding her tightly, and she couldn't resist.
At this time, Ling Haoxuan was taking a nap in his yard. Since the attack, he often felt dizzy, nauseous, and sometimes even vomited. In recent days, he found that he sometimes became confused when seeing things, which made him feel confused. Very irritable and not in the mood to do anything.
At this time, cries came from outside the courtyard. He frowned, sat up, pinched his eyebrows hard, and said to the boy beside him: "Go and see who is making noise outside."
Soon, the servant came in and reported, "Concubine Xu is escorting a maid, crying for her master."
"Concubine Xu, hum!" Before he went to settle the accounts with her, she came to her door first, "Go and ask her to come in."
"Yes." The boy turned around and went outside to invite someone.
Soon, Xu Jinyao, who was crying so hard, rushed in, "Husband, are you feeling better? I feel so worried!" After saying that, she threw herself into Ling Haoxuan's arms.
Ling Haoxuan just looked down at Xu Jinyao without saying a word. Xu Jinyao cried for a while, then she felt something was wrong, and then slowly stood up, "It's my fault. You're not well yet. I shouldn't be like this. It's all because I'm too worried about my husband."
Ling Haoxuan looked at her, then at the maid aside, and asked, "What are you doing here this time?"
Xu Jinyao wiped her tears and said, "Of course I'm worried about my husband," and then said angrily: "Husband, I heard that the medicine is harmful to your body. I regret it so much. That medicine is for Taohong, a bitch like this, to find someone." Bought it. She didn’t say at that time that this medicine would be harmful to the body. If she knew, how could the slave dare to use it on her husband. It’s all this bitch, with ulterior motives. Now the slave has taken her here, letting her husband do whatever she wants. .”
Ling Haoxuan stared at Xu Jinyao with his eyes, which were so sinister that Xu Jinyao could not help but lower his head.
Ling Haoxuan turned his eyes to the maid beside him.
Recently, Ling Haoxuan was prone to anger due to physical reasons. When he saw Taohong, the culprit, he felt that he had finally found someone to vent his anger on, so when he looked at Taohong, he looked like he was looking at a dead person.
Taohong was so shocked that her legs suddenly softened. She wanted to speak, but her throat hurt like a knife. She was so anxious that tears burst down her face, "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaw, praying that the Third Prince would look on. In terms of previous feelings, let her go. But what she didn't know was that the third prince had long forgotten her.
Ling Haoxuan looked at her for a while, then turned to Xu Jinyao and said, "I understand, leave her here and you can go."
When Xu Jinyao saw that the third prince did not blame her, she immediately felt relieved, wiped her tears and said, "The husband must take care of your health! I will come to visit you in two days." After saying that, he asked the mother-in-law to put down the peach red, turned around and left. .
The next morning, as soon as Xu Jinyao got up, her mother-in-law came to report that the peach red was gone.
Hearing this, Xu Jinyao raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said, "Let's go find someone to bury her. That's it. We have a master-servant relationship."
After a while, the old woman hurried in, her face pale, as if she had been frightened. "She is still frizzy at such an old age," Xu Jinyao shouted sternly.
"Madam...Madam blames the old slave for being too unstable." Her voice was still trembling as she spoke.
Xu Jinyao also saw the problem and asked, "What happened to make you so scared?"
"Madam is that Taohong," the woman said calmly, "Originally, I thought that since she had stayed in the same yard for so long, when she left, I should see her off. But... But...the old slave opened the white cloth and saw...that Taohong was naked, with not a single piece of meat on her body. Some were scratched by knives, and some were whipped with whips. The blood was all drained. Taohong's girl stared with big eyes. It really scared the old slave to death.”
After hearing this, Xu Jinyao was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat. She had never wanted Taohong to survive, but she never expected that Ling Haoxuan would be so cruel. Thanks to his wit, he used Taohong to take the blame. If Ling Haoxuan knew that he got the medicine, then...Xu Jinyao clenched her fists and dug her fingers deeply into her palms, trying to use this pain to calm herself down. …
In the next month, Xu Jinyao stayed in her yard, fearing that Ling Haoxuan would think of her.
And Ling Haoxuan seemed to find pleasure in abusing Taohong. This month, three bloody maid corpses have been carried out from the mansion. Everyone in the whole house is in danger, especially the little maid, no one wants to work in the main courtyard.
In a remote courtyard of the Third Prince's Mansion, Chu Jingru said to the maid Xiaohui beside her: "Take some money and spread the word about the Third Prince's torture and murder of the maid."
"yes!"
