Chapter 134 Intimidation

Thinking of this, Qi Lao nodded, "Okay, I promise Madam."

"Thank you, Mr. Qi."

Qi Lao stood up and led a group of people towards the courtyard where Xiyun lived.

When Aunt Qiu and Mrs. Cui entered the door, they saw a woman lying quietly on the bed with her back on her back.

A hazy curtain half-hid everyone's prying eyes.

At the side, a delicate little maid in green clothes waited quietly to serve. When she saw a group of people, she just saluted in a low voice.

The entire room was silent, only the sound of the woman's breathing and the sunlight reflected from the window.

It was a little far away, and the entire Xue family could only see the woman's messy hair, which did look a bit haggard.

Seeing this situation, Mrs. Cui felt disgusted in her heart.

It was this maid who didn't know good and bad that made the two of them have so many closed doors.

What a loser!

Aunt Qiu couldn't help but frowned secretly, it seemed that the woman on the bed was Miss Xiyun, but why was she behind her back?
"Xi Yun." Madam Cui called softly.

The woman on the bed didn't respond, she was still lying in her original position, she didn't seem to hear anything.

Seeing this, the green-clothed maid hurriedly walked to the curtain and shouted in a low voice: "Sister Xiyun, Mrs. Xue has come to see you."

"En." Xiyun groaned, turned over and buried her face in the quilt, as if she didn't want to talk to them.

The maid in green looked worriedly at the people at the door.

"Come back, Aunt Qiu and I have a few boudoir friendly words to share with Xiyun." Mrs. Cui waved her hand, signaling the maid in green to leave.

"This..." the green-clothed maid hesitated, as if unwilling to leave.

"Go down!" Aunt Qiu gave the maid in green a look.

Seeing this, Elder Qi couldn't help but shook his head, motioning for the others to back down.

The green-clothed maid glanced worriedly at the woman in the curtain, gritted her teeth, and backed away after Fu.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

An elderly woman waited quietly outside the door with Tong Laoliu.

Mrs. Cui and Aunt Qiu looked at each other, and they both saw a deep meaning in each other's eyes.

"Xiyun, don't hide, Aunt Qiu and I came here to tell you something." Madam Cui said patiently and softly.

"What's the matter?" Xi Yun still didn't raise her head, her voice was husky, with a bit of sickness.

Mrs. Cui saw that Xiyun finally agreed, and hurriedly said: "Since you don't want to see us, then cover your head. I promise, as long as you agree to our request, we will never disturb you again!"

Aunt Qiu also echoed, "We are here today, not only to visit you, but also to intercede for Tong Lao Liu."

Mrs. Cui's voice was full of sincerity, "Miss Xiyun, you are a kind girl, so you showed mercy and forgave that Tong Lao Liu! Our Xue family is willing to hire you with a thousand pieces of gold to help Tong Lao Liu get started. how?"

As she spoke, she took out a gold inlaid jade pendant from her sleeve and put it on the table outside the curtain, "I will give you this gold jade pendant to enjoy! If you agree, the dowry will be brought to you tomorrow." Ye Mansion!"

Xiyun still didn't speak.

"Xiyun, if you still care about the friendship between the Ye family and the Xue family, and if you care about the overall situation, you shouldn't refuse this marriage." Madam Cui saw that Xiyun was silent all the time, and she only regarded her as acquiescing, and immediately tried to persuade him while the iron was hot. road.

"I don't care." The four words were muffled under the quilt, and the voice was full of boredom and indifference.

"You..." Hearing Xiyun's disdainful tone, Mrs. Cui's face turned blue with anger. She always boasted that she was extremely intelligent, but she never thought that she would be beaten repeatedly because of this yellow-haired girl.

The more she thought about it, the more she became angry.

Seeing this, Aunt Qiu at the side quickly reached out and tugged at her sleeve, and reminded in a low voice: "Sister, calm down first, aren't there those two outside the door?"

After Madam Cui heard this, she calmed down a little bit, retreated, and sat down on the chair.

Aunt Qiu understood immediately, and hurriedly said to the person on the bed: "Miss Xiyun, it is indeed Tong Lao Liu who did something wrong this time, let him and his mother come in and make amends to you."

While talking, Aunt Qiu glanced at the people on the bed out of the corner of her eye, and saw that she was still lying with her back facing them, and she didn't seem to have the slightest intention of getting up.

Seeing this, Aunt Qiu couldn't help cursing secretly in her heart, "Stinky girl, you are really stubborn, no wonder she was treated like this by Mrs. Xue."

"Miss Xiyun, if you don't want people outside to see a joke, you should agree quickly." Aunt Qiu suppressed the anger in her heart and continued to persuade.

Her patience was running out.

"I do not."

This time, Xiyun on the bed spoke.

When Mrs. Cui and Aunt Qiu heard this, gloom flashed across their faces.

"Mrs. Teng, bring your Tong Lao Liu in!" Madam Cui gritted her teeth and said, wishing she could immediately drag the girl off the bed and kill her with a stick.

After a short time, the woman named Teng Pozi led a rickety man covered in scars and walked in.

His legs softened and he knelt on the ground, "Miss Xiyun, I was wrong, please be merciful and forgive me..."

The people behind the curtain were motionless.

Seeing that Xiyun didn't respond, she was even more indifferent than last time, Mrs. Fuji panicked and wanted to repeat the same trick, but due to the presence of the two masters, she didn't dare to do it directly.

She cried to the person on the bed: "Miss Xiyun, my son, he is still young, and it is understandable for him to do something wrong. For the sake of the master of the Xue family, please forgive him this time." ..."

On the bed, Xiyun turned over and buried her face inside.

Seeing this, Mrs. Fuji was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

This Xiyun simply doesn't turn back if she doesn't bump into the south wall. Does she have to force her to make a killing move before she is reconciled?
Mrs. Cui gave the old woman a sideways look, "Is this all you guys are capable of?"

"No, no..." Mrs. Fuji quickly shook her head, "And..."

She hesitated, not knowing how to speak.

"What else? Say!" Madam Cui said impatiently.

The rattan woman gritted her teeth, and said as if she was going all out: "Xiyun, I'm afraid you don't know that you have been discredited and become a lowly woman who can do everything you can. A good family will not marry such uncleanness as you." Woman! If you are sensible, leave the Ye Mansion by yourself, and stop insulting the Ye family's reputation by staying in the Ye Mansion! The master of the Xue family has taken a fancy to you, and it is a blessing you have cultivated in eight lifetimes. How dare you reject the Xue family? I really don't know how to live or die!"

Hearing this, "Xi Yun" slowly lifted the quilt covering her head, revealing a pair of bright and clear eyes, which were full of anger.

Mrs. Teng continued: "Xiyun, if you are sensible, pack up your things obediently and leave Ye Mansion. When you marry into Xue's family, I can give you a few words of kindness and let you live a good life. Otherwise, In this life, as long as you dare to walk out of the Ye Mansion... wait to serve a group of disgusting beasts! The Xue family will definitely make your life worse than death!"

As soon as her words fell, the people on the bed finally moved.
