Tao Meiyu was stunned for a moment, "But..."
Mr. He stood up and interrupted her, "You want to say that this silver should be given to you, but you are just my concubine! The Zhou family gave five hundred taels of silver to buy it for my legitimate siblings, not for a lowly concubine like you. !”
Tao Meiyu was shocked, "I...I..."
Mr. He looked at her coldly and said: "Don't you understand your position yet? You are just a concubine bought by my He family. If I like you today, I will keep you here. If I don't like you, I will keep you here." , then I can sell you elsewhere."
Tao Meiyu trembled and knelt down: "Master, I know I was wrong. I will never do this again."
Mr. He looked at her condescendingly with cold eyes, "Do you know where you went wrong?"
Tao Meiyu trembled: "I...I shouldn't ask you for money..." ?.?????.???
Mr. He gently touched her hair and said slowly: "My He family has a lot of money. I don't care if you spend a little."
Tao Meiyu trembled and lowered her head, not daring to speak.
Mr. He suddenly grabbed her neck and said sternly: "You should never, never should, say that our He family is not as good as the Zhou family."
Tao Meiyu's neck was strangled and she couldn't breathe smoothly. Her face was blue and purple, and she struggled in pain, "Old... Master..."
Mr. He looked at her dying, looking more and more excited, and said with a smile: "Now you know how to beg for mercy? When I asked you if you knew where you went wrong, why couldn't you answer?"
Tao Meiyu desperately grabbed Mr. He's hand with both hands, her eyes bulged, and her legs struggled to kick.
Seeing that she was about to die, Master He let her go.
Tao Meiyu fell to the ground, clutching her bruised neck and gasping for air.
Master He took out the long whip from his waist, then untied his belt, looked at her coldly and said, "My dear concubine, it's your turn to serve me."
After he finished speaking, he swung the whip towards Tao Meiyu.
Tao Meiyu stepped back and cried.
Not long after, miserable screams came from her room.
The maids and servants in the mansion raised their eyes slightly and glanced in the direction of her yard, then quickly continued working as usual.
After one night, Tao Meiyu couldn't get out of bed. After enduring the pain and getting dressed, she secretly escaped back home while the people in the house were not paying attention.
Aunt Tao was just about to go out to do farm work, and saw her daughter as soon as she went out.
"Meiyu, what's wrong with you?"
In the past few days, Tao Meiyu had been reporting good news but not bad news. Although Aunt Tao did not want her daughter to become a concubine, she felt relieved when she heard that Mr. He was kind to her.
However, now her daughter, whom she had always loved, was lying at the door of her house with injuries all over her body.
Tao Meiyu cried bitterly and knelt in front of Aunt Tao and said: "Mom, I was wrong. I really know that I was wrong. Please return the money to the He family and rescue me. Okay, mom!"
After she said that, her eyes darkened and she fainted.
Aunt Tao picked her up and returned home.
When changing Tao Meiyu's clothes, Aunt Tao discovered that not only did she have bruises on her neck, but she also had whip marks all over her body.
There are also several earrings in places where earrings shouldn't be.
Aunt Tao burst into tears in distress, "My daughter, how could you be beaten like this?!"
"Is it Mr. He?"
"That's a beast!"
In fact, Tao Meiyu's injury now is far less serious than Tao Yaofang's injury last time.
Tao Meiyu's injuries were to her skin and flesh, while Tao Yaofang's injuries were to her internal organs.
Both daughters were born from the same mother, and she was heartbroken at this time, but the last time Tao Yaofang was beaten, she didn't even blink.
She kept calling Mr. He a beast, but he was no different from Mr. He, even worse than a beast.
Tao Meiyu slowly woke up and hugged her mother, still begging her to take her back.
Aunt Tao nodded heavily, "Don't worry, mother won't let you return to the He family again!"
Not long after, the He family sent people to look for him.
Aunt Tao handed them the thirty taels of silver she had received from selling her house last time, and wanted to redeem her daughter.
But Butler He shook his head, took out his abacus, calculated and said: "Miss Tao has spent a total of seventy taels of silver on our house these days. Add these thirty taels, and you will have to pay us back a total of one hundred taels." .”
