Chapter 77 Accidental Discovery
On the second day, Jiang Youzhi finished learning the rules with Yinghong as usual, and it was already dark.

She was walking alone on the way back to her room, the front of Jiaofangsi was very lively, but this inner courtyard was extremely quiet.

Suddenly, there was a sound of bowls and plates being broken from the kitchen. Jiang Youzhi didn't pay attention at all, but when the tragic shout came, she couldn't help but stepped forward to check.

Through the window, I saw a ferocious man in the kitchen, whipping the woman on the ground with a whip in his hand, no matter how much the woman begged for mercy and cried, it was useless.

The more the man beat, the more excited he became, he threw the braid in his hand, picked up the iron pot at the side, and was about to pour water on the woman.

The iron pot was full of boiling hot water. Seeing this, Jiang Youzhi immediately opened the door and rushed out, pulling the woman away, but luckily escaped the pot of hot water.

The woman on the ground curled up with lingering fear, and kept crying. The man looked very angry, and said to Jiang Youzhi: "What are you! Feel bad for me!"

Jiang Youzhi got up, and looked straight into his eyes without fear: "Do you think that if mother finds out that you are causing trouble in the Jiaofang Division, and even almost killed someone, she will let you go?"

This man is also a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong. Seeing Jiang Youzhi's tough attitude, he coughed unnaturally, and continued: "You are amazing!"

After he finished speaking, he left, Jiang Youzhi hurriedly turned around to look at the woman who was squatting in the corner and couldn't stop crying, she comforted softly: "Are you okay?"

Only then did the woman slowly raise her head, sobbing and saying: "Girl, thank you..."

Jiang Youzhi patted her on the back and said with a smile: "He bullied you so much, why didn't you tell mom, no matter what, Jiaofang Secretary has rules."

The woman bit her lower lip, and then stopped crying: "I'm afraid, afraid of being kicked out, and he also threatened me not to speak out, otherwise he will make me look good!"

Jiang Youzhi said: "Have you ever offended him?"

The woman shook her head, her voice was miserable: "He said he wanted to marry me after seeing me a few times, but when I didn't want to, he insisted and even scratched my face with a knife..."

Indeed, from the corners of her eyes to her cheeks, she had three scars, probably because the treatment was not timely enough, it was very obvious.

Jiang Youzhi couldn't help but said: "Damn it!"

After a while, Jiang Youzhi saw that she was pitiful, and said: "You can eat something with me first."

While eating, Jiang Youzhi found out that the girl's name was Xiao Lian, and she was sold to the Jiaofang Division as a maid because her family was poor. Her background was extremely pitiful.

But Jiang Youzhi still had some doubts, so he asked: "However, if you are a big Jiaofang secretary, a little guy, how can you be so rampant and dare to bully others like that?"

Because according to Xiao Lian: "That guy, the big guys call him Liu Er, he is rude and domineering on weekdays, and the other maids and servants in the inner courtyard saw him, and they all took a detour."

Xiaolian lowered her voice and said, "Liu Er is Yinghong's older brother."

Only then did Jiang Youzhi nod his head in understanding, no wonder he was so arrogant, it turned out to be because of his backing.

Jiang Youzhi asked: "Yinghong, do you understand?"

Xiao Lian nodded and said, "I heard from an older maid that no one cared about Yinghong when she first came to the Jiaofang Division. She joined Jiaofangsi's hot and famous brand, and became the oiran for three full years, so she was very popular for a while. However, in the past two years, Jiaofangsi has continuously entered newcomers, stealing a lot of her limelight, and she is far worse than before. .”

Jiang Youzhi nodded: "The emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. I see that although there are quite a few guests who appointed her, they are far inferior to the two young ones in the west wing. Sure enough..."

Xiao Lian asked curiously: "Really what?"

Jiang Youzhi said thoughtfully: "No wonder that woman has a dark face every day. Every time she practiced the rules, she didn't torture my waist and back, and she refused to give up at all!"

Xiao Lian couldn't help smiling, then looked around, got up and closed the window tightly, and said mysteriously: "Last night, I got up and passed Yinghong's back window, and found strange male voices in her room. The quarrel was endless, Yinghong was so excited that she dropped her teacup, I wanted to leave quickly, but a wild cat rushed over to me."

Jiang Youzhi stopped what he was doing and listened carefully.

"I didn't expect it, and naturally the people in the house were alarmed. In order to prevent them from finding out, I hid in the haystack and escaped unharmed, but I clearly saw the man wearing a mask. The person from the Jiaofang Division is naturally not a guest, what he said to Yinghong at the time, if you can't complete the task, you will die."

After hearing these words, Jiang Youzhi naturally didn't feel too much, so she just listened to the excitement, because after all, it had nothing to do with her, and she didn't want to meddle in other people's business. After all, individuals have their own difficulties, and maybe Yinghong doesn't care too much. exception.

On this side, Xiao Lian continued: "At that time, the man held the sword in his hand and stood in front of me. Even though there was a pile of grass covering him, I was still terrified. I didn't dare to breathe. Just when I thought he was going to find me, That stray cat rushed over again, which attracted his attention, but do you know what I found?"

This made Jiang Youzhi a little curious, so he asked, "What?"

Xiao Lian approached him lightly, and whispered in his ear: "That man holds a sword in his left hand, he is left-handed, and his left little finger is severed..."

"What are you talking about!" Before Xiaolian could finish speaking, Jiang Youzhi grabbed her shoulder excitedly, her whole body looked wrong, her eyes were a little scarlet.

Xiao Lian seemed to be taken aback, wrapped herself around her body, and said cautiously: "Girl, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Youzhi tightened her grip on her shoulders, and even trembled slightly. Her teeth were chattering, and she said each word: "You just said that the man has no little finger on his left hand. Is it true or fake?"

Xiao Lian was a little confused, and stammered, "Yes...it's true..."

A few quarters of an hour later, when Jiang Youzhi came back to her senses, she realized her impoliteness, and quickly let go of her hand. She raised her hand a little at a loss, and then said to Xiaolian: "I'm sorry."

After finishing speaking, she held her forehead with her hand, leaned her elbow on the table, and lowered her head. The situation didn't look good.

Xiao Lian looked at her worriedly, seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, she finally couldn't help but opened her mouth: "Girl, is it because I didn't do well that I made you angry..."

Hearing the loneliness and self-blame in her tone, Jiang Youzhi adjusted his emotions, raised his head, and forced a smile: "No, it's my problem."
