Xiu Xiu limped and followed the people into a small courtyard, holding on to the bruises on her neck.
There are many maids in the small courtyard.
Seeing that her bun was messy and she looked unsteady on her feet, but she also saw a bit of arrogance when serving tea and water, several of the maids couldn't help but give her a look of disdain.
They have seen too many women like this.
I thought that if I followed the young master into this small courtyard, I would be able to gain some status or gain some benefits.
As everyone knows, none of the women who come here to spend the night can stay for more than three days, let alone get any respect.
It is already a great blessing to be able to leave well.
Speaking of which, they are not as good as these maids, and I don't know what they are proud of.
"Master, how should we arrange this girl?"
The leading maid brought hot tea, took a few steps back and lowered her head slightly.
Under the light of the lights, she stands tall and graceful, with beautiful features.
"Placement?"
The man in front snorted coldly, his tone seemed sarcastic, then he closed his eyes and lay back, and then a maid came forward and beat her shoulders.
This means don't pay attention.
The leading maid glanced at the person on one side, and the sarcasm flashed past, but it was just enough for others to see.
Xiuxiu's heart sank. She ignored the pain all over her body and hurriedly knelt in front of her, beating the legs of the person above her.
"Master Yi, although I don't know why things have turned out like this, I love the young master and sincerely want to send someone to the young master. The young master must never leave me behind..."
"You really want to send someone here?"
The person in front opened her eyes, and the black boots that fell on the ground moved, stepping on the hem of her skirt that was hanging to the ground.
"I really want her to have an accident on my young master's carriage, let others know about it, and then use my young master's reputation to destroy the person you want to destroy..."
The man suddenly leaned down, raised his hands and strangled her neck, "You dare to plot such thoughts on my head, you are really not afraid of death."
"I don't dare!"
Xiuxiu was so flustered that she couldn't think of the meaning behind her words and quickly begged for mercy.
"How dare I plot against Master Yi! Even with Song Ci, I didn't dare to plot against him. I just saw that she looked as beautiful as a flower and she was the first to come to Luo City. I thought if she could stay She is also lucky to serve the young master..."
With a "bang", the man raised his foot and kicked Xiuxiu out.
"When you are outside during the day, I really need to be more stable, but once you enter this mansion, you have to wonder whether you can get out alive."
The sound of begging for mercy did not follow, but the sound of tearing cloth.
Without avoiding the maid beside her, Xiuxiu knelt back to the man's feet again.
"Although I am afraid, I really like the young master. I just hope that I can still serve the young master, even if I can only have happiness for a day or two..."
The person above saw it, raised his eyebrows, leaned back, and took a look at Xiuxiu in front of him.
Being so thick-skinned is actually more interesting than those women who only know how to cry.
It would be okay to keep her alive to pass the time.
...
The next day, Song Jinyin saw Xiuxiu on the path outside the embroidery workshop.
The visitor's face was covered with a thick layer of makeup, and the rouge was thicker than usual. Her steps were unsteady when she walked. If you look closely, you can still see a trace of uncovered bruises on her neck.
She didn't expect to see Xiuxiu come back so soon, but just by looking at her appearance, she knew she wasn't here to do any work.
Song Jinyin turned away from where she was standing.
Just as he was pulling Lianxiang away, he heard her slightly hoarse voice calling her.
"Song Ci, when my sister comes back to the embroidery workshop, why don't you come and have a nice talk with me?"
At this moment, Song Jinyin felt that she was a madman. When she looked sideways, she could still see the remaining madness and hatred in her eyes.
Next to her, Lian Xiang frowned in a rare way, pulled Song Jinyin's sleeve, and lowered her voice: "Why does she look so wrong? Don't go there. I think she may have been possessed somewhere."
Song Jinyin nodded.
She was carrying a small dagger that she bought from Sister Sun last night, which was smaller than the ones sold in the shop outside.
But she didn't want to take it out unless she had to.
"Song Ci."
After getting no response from her for a long time, Xiuxiu simply walked towards her, with deep reluctance bursting out of her eyes.
"Why are you trying to hurt me behind my back? You are so vicious, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"Am I harming you?"
Song Jinyin laughed angrily at her. She originally remembered to protect her belly, but at this moment she just wanted to imitate the woman quarreling on the street and pull her hair.
"Sister Xiuxiu is not afraid of flashing her tongue when she says this! What exactly did I do, does Sister Xiuxiu dare to say it in front of everyone?"
"What am I afraid of? If it weren't for you, if you hadn't plotted to harm me, it was obviously you who was in the carriage yesterday..."
Before he finished speaking, a group of people rushed in from outside the trail, each holding a wooden stick in their hands, blocking the place.
Several people took advantage of the situation and looked over.
I saw a girl getting off the carriage in front, wrapped in a bright yellow cloak, looking around with disgust.
"Such a shabby place, no wonder it produces such filthy things...Which one of you is Song Ci?"
Song Jinyin recognized the person as Feng Qiyu, the eldest girl from the Prefecture.
Her heart sank and she thought quickly.
She was not the one who stayed in the Yi family's carriage yesterday. If he came to cause trouble for that person, she should not be found.
The only thing was that she was carried into the inn by Pei Yanzhou.
But she had her face covered all the way, and she put the cloak back in the box. This big girl should not think about her.
But apart from Pei Yanzhou, she really couldn't think of the reason why she was stopped.
"Mute? People inside said that Song Ci was outside. Say! Who is Song Ci?"
The boy next to the visitor shook the wooden stick in his hand, looking fierce.
Before Song Jinyin could return to her thoughts, she was suddenly pushed by Xiuxiu next to her.
"what you do!"
Lianxiang yelled at Xiuxiu, but saw the eldest girl in front of her approaching, and her eyes fell on her.
When Song Jinyin turned her head and looked over, she happened to see Xiuxiu pointing at her, her eyes were filled with madness, and she had a vicious look of gloating on her misfortune.
"It's her! Miss Feng, she is Song Ci!"
"You three seem to have all been to my prefect's residence."
Feng Qiyu looked at Song Jinyin.
She remembered this face.
It does look good, and it does make her unhappy.
But this girl looked quite thin. Although Feng Qiyu was disgusted, he also felt that she did not look like the same person as the one in the carriage yesterday.
"Miss Feng, this is Song Ci. She has always been very thoughtful. When dealing with her, be careful not to be deceived by her!"
Xiuxiu's voice was urgent, and she moved towards the visitor.
The battle in front of them looked like they were looking for trouble.
Xiu Xiu wished that Song Ci would be targeted.
Especially when she remembered that yesterday's incident not only failed to harm her, but was bitten by her in return, Xiu Xiu's resentment could no longer stop.
Everything is Song Ci!
It was Song Ci who made her stay with such a playboy. She could no longer cling to high branches and had to be constantly afraid of being rejected by him and being retaliated by him.
But Xiuxiu didn't expect that although Song Ci didn't fall into her plan, the eldest girl from the prefect's mansion was still attracted.
He looked like he was about to peel off the person's skin and cramp up, as if he had no intention of letting Song Ci go.
The corners of Xiuxiu's lips couldn't help but raise. When she thought about what Song Ci would encounter later, the jealousy in her heart finally dissipated a little.
She won't get better, and this stinky girl in front of her will never want to live a stable life!
"I wonder what Miss Feng has to do with looking for a civilian girl?"
Song Jinyin retracted her gaze from Xiu Xiu, took a step forward, and avoided the position beside Xiu Xiu.
The panic at the beginning was fleeting, and she regained her composure at this moment.
If this matter is really related to Pei Yanzhou, then whoever stabbed him will collect it. Even if she is asked to help Feng Qiyu find the person, she will never hesitate at all.
But if the matter was related to the Yi family, she would have no need to worry.
After all, no matter what the relationship between the Prefect's Mansion and the Yi family was, she was not the one who stopped on the carriage yesterday.
Thinking of this, Song Jinyin simply lowered her eyes, curled her lips, and smiled gently, "The spring shirts in the house are now being made. I don't know if Miss Feng came to see the styles, or because of other things, she is interested in the people." The girl has a misunderstanding."
"You're not afraid at all."
Feng Qiyu held his hands in front of his chest and looked at the person in front of him with half-squinted eyes.
Just as the sneer escaped, Xiu Xiu spoke again impatiently: "Miss Feng, I don't know that the spring shirt you ordered before was not originally in her hands, it was her..."
Feng Qiyu's face showed impatience, and she raised her hand to let others arrest the noisy woman.
As soon as she glanced at it, she saw the pearl hairpin on Xiuxiu's head, and the jade pieces looked cheap.
"It's you?"
In the carriage yesterday, although she could not see the woman with her back to the curtain, her bun was messy and her hair accessories were shaky.
Among them, there is this cheap hairpin.
"You bastard, you can even find someone to find fault with this girl?"
Feng Qiyu raised his eyes and glared at the boy next to him, then stretched out his hand to point to Xiuxiu in front of him.
"Catch this bitch! Yesterday, the man named Yi dared to provoke me. I want to see what he can do to me if he touches his person!"
"Yes, big girl!"
The boys swarmed around him.
Xiuxiu didn't know what happened, so she had to hold back the pain in her body and the fear in her heart, and retreated.
But how could she escape these grown men who were arresting people all day long.
After just a few steps, he was detained and slapped directly on the face by Feng Qiyu.
Song Jinyin pulled Lianxiang back, and as soon as she pressed against the stone wall, she saw Xuanwei entering the path. Before anyone could take a look, they heard a woman crying in the distance.
"Xiu Xiu? My Xiu Xiu!"
The visitor staggered, and because he was in too much haste, he fell to the ground when he ran to Feng Qiyu. He could only watch as Xiuxiu was trapped.
"Let go of my Xiuxiu! Arresting people in broad daylight, do you, do you still have the law in your eyes?"
Feng Qiyu was afraid that the woman's hands would stain her skirt, so she took two steps back, "Wang Fa? Are you going to talk to me about Wang Fa in Luo City?"
No one had noticed Song Jinyin next to her.
She pulled Lianxiang and retreated from behind.
But as soon as he reached Xuanwei's side, he heard another sarcastic voice coming from inside: "Xiuxiu? Since it is your mother who begged for mercy, one of you must leave one for me to vent my anger."
Song Jinyin heard Xiuxiu's panicked voice, crying, begging for her mother's life in exchange for her life.
The woman who was still crying suddenly became quiet.
The person who left did not look back, but the sound of kneeling fell in Song Jinyin's ears very clearly, making her stunned for a moment.
"Song, Song Ci, are you okay?"
Stopping in her steps, Lianxiang turned her head and saw the person next to her suddenly clutching her stomach and her face suddenly turned pale.
