Traveling through the mountains and fields to be leisurely

Chapter 251
"Go to see the wife first, kowtow to recognize the mistress, and then go to the back to receive the punishment. Each of you will receive ten boards. Since you have been serving me, you can be punished directly in the back. You will not be allowed to show the punishment in public. This month Do you have any comments on the monthly penalty (mo)?"

Qiu Ling and the other four girls didn't dare to tell the difference at this time, it was obvious that the son was really angry, and hurried to kowtow in front of Lan Lingxue, but was stopped by Lan Lingxue,

"Wait a minute, I just want to ask first, why didn't you greet me in the morning, and what does it mean to come again now?"

How can Qiu Ling dare to say why? It can't be said that we didn't wait to see you because we saw that Shizi didn't take you seriously?
"Why, can't you say it? If you can't say it, I will ask each of you to add another [-] boards. Whether you can stand it is up to you. Don't be wronged. Since you want to recognize the mistress now, but Even if you don’t listen to the mistress’s words, it’s not wrong for me to hit you, right?”

Seeing that no one was talking, Lan Lingxue was not in a hurry. They answered as soon as they answered, and they didn't answer if they didn't answer. They were just a few servants. Even if they had slept in An Zhiyuan's bed, they were still servants. If An Zhiyuan was reluctant, Then speak for them.

Seeing that Mrs. Shizi continued to embroider things with her head down, she was not in a hurry to let a few people talk, Qiu Ling looked at Lan Lingxue's calm expression, and knew that this was not a troublesome master. Kneeling down to make things right, the remaining three girls also knelt down, but Lan Lingxue didn't cry out, anyway, she didn't make them kneel.
"Mrs. An, my servant, Qiu Ling, has been serving my son since I was a child. I grew up with my master. My servant has always only listened to my master. I saw that my master didn't introduce my wife to my slaves this morning, so I thought The prince does not want the servants to be instigated by the wife of the prince, but he does not want the master to be so busy that he forgot to introduce. Madam, it is the servants who misunderstood the intention of the master. Your mistake, please forgive the servants, the servants are not afraid of hitting the board, but if they really can't make it through, the servants will no longer be able to serve the prince, so please let the servants live, Let the servants continue to serve the master."

This is clearly explaining that they didn't mean it a few mornings, they misunderstood the master's intentions, but what she said made An Zhiyuan's face turn red and turn pale, Qiu Ling just used herself as their shield Well, about what happened in the morning, An Zhiyuan originally felt quite guilty, and felt that he was the one who made the most mistakes. Now that he heard such words, he remembered what his father said. But they only add fuel to the flames. What's the point of the master's reprimands? What can be done by kowtowing and admitting a mistake?What kind of thought should this be? An Zhiyuan suddenly hated his own eyesight. It turned out that he was blind and regarded treasures as grass, but grass as treasure. These two ignorant ones are wandering around the garden. How could this be what my father said not to look at things from a small perspective? It’s just not arguing right and wrong. Now that my father scolded me, I feel that it’s light, and I should scold him more severely. Some, otherwise, would not be able to wake themselves up at all.

"you……"

Just as An Zhiyuan was about to speak, Lan Lingxue signaled him to wait a moment,
"Don't be impatient, my son. This girl is right. It's not their fault. It's true that my son didn't want to introduce them to me. Naturally, I don't have the right to accept their head."

An Zhiyuan made Lan Lingxue speechless,
"You guys should get up too. I shouldn't be kneeling. I don't know why I feel wronged. Your master is opposite. From now on, you can just kneel to him, and you don't need to hit the board. If the four of them get hurt Not to mention that some people will hold resentment against me, even the daily life of the eldest son, I am afraid that they are indispensable for their service. This person must never be hurt. Show me this way, life is lived by human beings, live as you want, live as you want, it's best to do whatever you want, don't make you wronged and the girls wronged because of me, I This person is used to idleness, but he doesn't care how others treat me, so just pretend that I'm not here, you can do whatever you want."

An Zhiyuan sighed for a long time. If by this time, if he still can't see that the four girls are not innocent, then he can just pack it up and go back to the side to close it up. It may be better for his father to remake it.

"Lingxue, I can't beg you to forgive me. It's true that I was too wrong. When my father taught me just now, I didn't take it seriously. Now I finally see it clearly. It is indeed my mistake. I just ask you Give me a chance to make up for it as much as possible.”

An Zhiyuan came to the soft couch, knelt down in front of Lan Lingxue on one knee, took out the things in her hand, and held her hand. At this time, Lan Lingxue's palm was icy cold, showing that her heart was not cold Not as indifferent as she showed,
"Lingxue, don't forgive me, otherwise I don't know how wrong I am, but I beg you, give me a chance, really, let me learn to be your husband and be your reliance , this is the first time for me to be a husband, so it is inevitable that I will not do well, but I will study hard, and there will never be a next time."

If such a rascal, the person in front of him can say it. If Lan Lingxue is not very angry and sad, I am afraid that he will be amused by his words, but what is the use of being sweet, the truth is the best Lan Lingxue sighed secretly in his heart, it was caused by this social environment, and there was nothing wrong with him, it was just that he was out of tune with this society.

"Someone-"

An Zhiyuan suddenly yelled, startling Lan Lingxue, and the other people in the room also looked at him in panic,
"Take the four of Qiu Ling out, ten boards each, sell them immediately, and don't take away anything from the Hou Mansion."

This command completely frightened those girls,
"Master——"

The four of Qiu Ling knelt behind An Zhiyuan and kowtowed heavily. The sound of kowtowing made Lan Lingxue's heart tug together. She really couldn't stand this. The education she received in her previous life made her With a clear understanding of human rights, people are equal, so how can you sell people just by saying they sell? If they make mistakes, they can be persuaded and educated. As soon as Lan Lingxue was about to speak for them, An Zhiyuan stood up with his hands in his hands. Still firmly holding Lan Lingxue's hand.

An Zhiyuan turned around and said to Qiu Ling and the others,

"What happened in the morning, I did make a mistake. I was negligent and complacent. I ignored your infidelity to me and neglected the little tricks you used. I married a good wife proudly but forgot what I should have done. Take more care, Qiu Ling, you grew up with me, when did I treat you badly, all of you are good, things don’t develop to this level, I did something wrong, you don’t think of ways to help me make it up, But let me add more mistakes. I dare not want such a person, let alone keep you by my side. I really didn't expect you to be so impure and kind. Who knows when I will If there are things that are not done well, you will turn your back on me and hurt me, and what I am most afraid of is that you are so resistant to Ling Xue now, and now you are playing tricks to make her disagree with me, then you will be cruel to her hand, it is only a matter of time, I dare not bet."

"Master, I am wronged. How could this servant hurt you? This servant grew up with you. I have a special affection for you..."

An Zhiyuan sneered,
"What's unusual? Tell me."

Yes, there is something unusual, Lan Lingxue raised her ears to listen,

"I, I, I... my son, when you were five or six years old, the slave was arranged by your side. At that time, the slave didn't know how to do any work, but you didn't dislike the slave, so the slave just learned While doing it, even if you did something wrong, you have never punished your servant, and your servant has been working hard, diligently, and caringly until you grow up with me, my son, isn't this an unusual relationship?"

Qiu Ling's eyes were wide open, with tears in them, watery, very innocent, it made people feel very distressed at first sight, but An Zhiyuan didn't soften his heart, she almost made herself and Ling Xue break up.

"Oh, since you said that, let me ask you, since you also said that I treat you well, tolerate you, and treat you leniently, should you think of everything for me, so as to repay my preference for you, and, you It's my girl, even if I don't treat you with mercy, you should have been loyal and considerate to me, but what have you done? I won't talk about it for a long time, just talk about today, why did you It was my fault that I didn’t introduce my wife to you. Don’t you know that I did it wrong? But you let me do it wrong; Come with me if you say so, have you ever asked Mrs. Shizi for instructions, do you think she is a display? But she is my wife, why do you ignore her? I'm talking about things from the beginning to show that you don't pay attention to Mrs. Shizi at all because of me. You are so obvious that you don't pay attention to me, but you also don't pay attention to me. Falling into inhumanity and injustice, this is what you call being hard-working, diligent, caring to me? I can't even figure it out, what kind of heart do you have?"

Qiu Ling was speechless by An Zhiyuan's questioning. She had done so many things before, and she never felt that there was anything wrong. She took it for granted. When she was with Shi Ziye, she just said that she was the same. How could she allow others to challenge herself? Authoritative, but now being questioned by the elder son, I feel that everything is wrong. Did I really do something wrong?no, absolutely not,
"My lord, this servant is devoted to you wholeheartedly. Even if I treat Mrs. Shizi a little bit today, it's just a momentary rush. Please forgive me once. I will serve you well in the future. Ma'am, please forgive me."
