Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 113

Ye Xizhao ordered someone to serve tea to the third lady, and then he suppressed his smile, looked at the woman, and spoke slowly and coldly: "Being bought by someone, helping outsiders to ruin the reputation of the housekeeper, rewarding twenty boards , to serve as an example to others!" At this point, the voice paused, and the eyes of everyone present slowly looked over, and then continued, "Look carefully, and see what happens when you break the rules. She is the master and the servant, and she must be punished together!"

When the third lady and Ding Xiang heard this, their faces turned pale.

As soon as Ye Xizhao's words fell, someone moved a bench and put the woman on it, and the two servants who were waiting in the corner of the courtyard stepped forward.

Another person took out a handkerchief, trying to gag the old lady's mouth, looked at Ye Xizhao, and just about to ask for instructions, Ye Xizhao waved his hand, "No need. Back off."

The third lady didn't want to see such a bloody scene - she had never seen such a scene, but she had to watch - Hsinchu and Zhilan's eyes had already fixed on her.

The third lady watched the two servants execute the sentence, one on the left and one on the right, and they were merciless in their actions.

The mother-in-law only endured it for a moment, and then she screamed.

Before the execution was halfway through, the woman's clothes had already seeped blood, staining her clothes red.

The third lady clenched her teeth tightly and clenched her hands tightly into fists.Only then can one continue to watch such a situation.But after a while, she saw that the two servants were still relentlessly hitting the old woman's wounds which were clearly bruised and bruised, and she finally couldn't hold back, and started to tremble.

She really couldn't stand it anymore, she turned to look at Ye Xizhao.

Ye Xizhao watched the woman being punished indifferently and indifferently, and even took a sip of tea from time to time.The hand holding the tea was as calm as usual, and the teacup did not shake at all.

When Ye Xizhao was about to look sideways, the third lady hurriedly turned her gaze to the woman.

The woman could no longer scream and passed out.

The executioner is not affected.

The board seemed to hit a dead body...

Fortunately, after a while, it was over.

Ye Xizhao waved his hand lightly, and ordered: "Take this woman down."

The servant girl Gong claimed it was.

Ye Xizhao glanced at the group of pale servants, smiled coldly, "Let's go."

She didn't need to say anything anymore, the bloody situation was worth a thousand words of admonition.

She took another sip of tea, and when she put the teacup back on the low table, she saw her calm hand, and her expression froze slightly.

Since when, I am no longer afraid of blood.Since when has such a side of disposition developed.But she is already like this.

The third lady tried her best to restrain her slightly trembling legs, stood up, and was about to step down the stone steps.

Ye Xizhao looked sideways at the third wife at this moment, "Third brother and sister, you stay." His voice was as gentle as usual.

The more this is the case, the more timid the third wife is, she would rather see an angry Ye Xizhao than such a calm and gentle one.It almost made her feel weird.

Ye Xizhao got up calmly, and said in a gossiping tone, "Go indoors and have a cup of tea, it's a bit cold today."

What else can the third lady do besides say yes?
Turning to the banquet hall, Ye Xizhao sat down gracefully, ordered the servant girl to serve refreshments, pointed to the seat in front of her, and told the third lady to sit down.

For no reason, the third lady thought of the sentence that people are for knives and I am for fish, but she has no choice.Whatever Ye Xizhao said, she had to act on it.She knew that she was frightened by the bloody scene, but she couldn't regain her usual sobriety.She just didn't understand at the moment why Ye Xizhao, Ye Xiangye's favorite jewel, was so unmoved by such a scene.Under such thoughts, she heard Ye Xizhao calling her, not the third sibling, but——

"Guan Siniang."

The third lady looked up at Ye Xizhao.

Ye Xizhao was smiling at her, but he was full of disappointment, and his voice was also: "During the days when I was busy with the third master's remarriage, when I saw Guan Siniang for the first time, I only had one thought in my heart: that is She died. Later, I brought Guan Siniang to the mansion, and Mrs. Tai was also very satisfied. Both Mrs. Tai and I felt that Guan Siniang is a girl with a pleasing face, and she has a bit of innocence."

She didn't seem to be talking to the third lady, but the way of telling it was more like talking to herself.

These were things that the third lady had no way of knowing before.

Ye Xizhao sighed quietly, "Guan Siniang married into the Hou's Mansion. After returning home in three days, the stormy waves in the Hou's Mansion began. I also thought about letting such a girl marry into the Hou's Mansion before the storm." , I really wronged her. When I learned that the Guan family and the Hou family were married only out of power, I thought about how pitiful Guan Siniang is."

The third lady was moved in an instant, and then she explored.She didn't understand why Ye Xizhao mentioned this.

"But later, after I returned to Beijing," Ye Xizhao frowned deeply on the third lady, "I realized that the saying that a poor person must have something to hate is a wise saying. I just don't understand, how did you become the person you are today? What is your face today? Compared with before you got married, you are completely different——has someone told you?"

The third lady's hand moved, driven subconsciously, making her want to touch her face, making her want to figure out whether she has changed beyond recognition now.

Ye Xizhao took out Guan Lin's letter from his wide sleeve, unfolded the letter paper slowly with gestures, and brought it to the third lady, "See clearly the signature."

The third lady can see clearly.

Afterwards, Ye Xizhao took the letter back and handed it to Zhilan, "Keep it carefully." Then he asked the third lady, "What's your idea, can you tell me? Your cousin wrote such an embarrassing letter." I have to entrust someone to give it to Fang Fei—" Her voice changed to Shen Ning, and she asked word by word, "Do you know that you are inevitably involved?"

Of course the third lady knew that if the matter was revealed, she would be responsible for it.

However, how did she know that Lord Hou would leave manpower behind after he left the mansion to help Ye Xizhao more and more wholeheartedly; When the government is most heavily guarded.

She never even dreamed that these things would happen.

She is too familiar with the days when there was no Marquis in the mansion, and what she remembers most is the domineering self when Marquis and Ye Xizhao were not in the mansion.

No one had ever told her that Lord Hou cared for, maintained, and protected Ye Xizhao to such an extent.

No one has ever told her that Ye Xizhao still has such a cruel side that looks bloody and indifferent.

She didn't know, she had no way of predicting it, so she could only fall into a passive position from beginning to end, unable to fight back.

Ye Xizhao asked coldly: "Do you know what Song Xinyao did? Do you know what happened to her?"

The third lady knew, but Ye Xizhao didn't give her time to answer——

Ye Xizhao asked again: "Do you know that Song Xinyao is not as vicious as you when all your deeds add up? Do you know what will happen to your deeds if the whole family knows about them? Do you want me to order someone to bring Guan Lin into the marquis?" The government checks the handwriting? Do you want me to bring Guan Lin's servant in front of you and torture him?"

There was real fear in the eyes of the third lady, and she could no longer suppress it.

Ye Xizhao's gaze was as deep as a thousand feet of cold pool, and his voice became lower and colder: "If your deeds are publicized, no one will want to see your blood, and the Hou Mansion only hopes that they will never see you again."

The third lady stood up hastily, then her legs gave way, and she knelt down unconsciously, but at this moment, she regained her sobriety, and she realized that if she kept silent, she would most likely end up dead.

The third lady walked up to Ye Xizhao on her knees, and said anxiously: "Sister-in-law, I know that I made a big mistake in a moment of confusion, and I also know that I was too impulsive, and I didn't know what the consequences would be, but, but, but these are my faults. Unexpectedly, I was, I was just..." When she said this, her voice choked up and she shed tears.

Ye Xizhao narrowed his eyes, and looked at the third lady with a half-smile.

The third lady was sobbing, and it took a long time to continue: "I was originally only because the third master treated me coldly, because the third master valued Ding Xiang's roommate, and because Ding Xiang listened to the words of the maid next to Fangfei, and then she acted viciously... Sister-in-law, I'm not reconciled..."

"Are you not reconciled?" Ye Xizhao chuckled, "There are still times when you are not reconciled? How could you not be reconciled for such a thing?"

The third lady was speechless, and could only respond with a low sob.

Ye Xizhao smiled and said: "Last summer, when you ordered your natal family's steward in the south of the Yangtze River to find Fangfei and pick her up in the capital, what was your plan? If it was for the sake of Mrs. Tai, why didn't you talk to Mrs. Tai?" Madam explained: If you are only thinking of Fang Fei, why did Fang Fei dislike you from the first time we met? Third sibling, you can give me an explanation for this matter."

"me……."

Ye Xizhao raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "These are the tricks Song Xinyao once wanted to play. I hope you are not as stupid as her."

The third lady hurriedly shook her head, "No, I don't, sister-in-law..."

Ye Xizhao changed the subject: "Let's talk about the matter at hand, why did you let Guan Lin humiliate Fang Fei's reputation?"

The third lady finally had something to say, and after thinking for a while, she said: "Sister-in-law, who is also a woman, who would be willing to find another woman for the husband? If I had thought of giving the third master a room, why wait until now? Sister-in-law, you don’t know how much the third master hurt others, and how Ding Xiang is so proud of her favor..." This was really sad for her, and she shed tears when she said it, "My cousin went to the back garden When I saw Fang Fei by chance, I became confused, I... sister-in-law, I really lost my mind and went crazy, just to vent my anger..."

Up to this point, he was still stubborn, still making excuses for himself.Ye Xizhao sneered, "You did such a thing before Madam Tai recognized Second Miss. If your cousin succeeds in doing this, it will ruin Second Miss's reputation and let you go out." If you take a bad breath, you will be accused of incompetent family management. If your wishful thinking comes true, it will be someone else who will suffer the consequences."

"Sister-in-law, I didn't, I didn't... I beg you to forgive me this time, I beg you..." The third lady reached out her hand, trying to grab Ye Xizhao's lapel.

But Ye Xizhao had already got up, turned to another place, and told Zhilan: "Go to the Guan mansion and invite Mrs. Guan." After Zhilan said yes and left, she looked at the third lady again, "You and I are of the same generation. I can't speak lightly to you. If that's the case, please invite your natal family to come and let me ask you how to deal with your behavior. "

The third lady softened and fell to the ground.

"Get up, if Madam Guan sees you like this, won't she think that I have wronged you?"

After hearing this, the two clever little maids immediately stepped forward to help the third lady and put her on the seat.

Ye Xizhao turned to the big kang by the window, called Xia He, confessed a few words in a low voice, and then started doing needlework, his expression became calm and gentle, as if nothing had happened just now.

The third lady's heart is like cooking oil, but she can't do anything.

After Mrs. Jiang came over, Ye Xizhao greeted him personally, and politely invited him to the Third Madam.
