Chapter 353 Cold War
Before the group entered the front yard, they heard a strange noise from a distance.

Next to the front yard is an unused other courtyard. Apart from Jiang Jinyue and Li Zongyu, the rest of the palace are the two children who live in the side room, and there are only four masters in total.

The servants live in the servants' wing in the backyard, and there are guest rooms next to the front yard. Recently, Li Zongyu has regained his favor. Even if there are people coming and going in the mansion, no one dares to stay in the palace. There are many empty rooms.

The other courtyard is close to the front yard, and it is also a fortress where people come and go. It is not suitable for anyone to live in. Who is acting inside?

Xunsheng looked over, Jiang Jinyue was taken aback.

It was getting late, and the small courtyard was full of bloody smell. A few nurses were naked, holding bamboo sticks, and were beating a thin servant.

The top of the bamboo stick was split into countless strips of soft bamboo, and there were several buckets next to it, which should be filled with salt water.

Except for a pair of blood-stained obscene trousers to hide his shame, the boy was hung on a wooden stick in a cross shape, unable to move at all, with a cotton cloth stuffed in his mouth, and the fresh bamboo stick still had the toughness of moisture. Just twist it violently, but can't make a sound.

This kind of punishment can't hurt the root, but it hurts so much that life is worse than death. The boy who beat him has no skin in his body, and it also makes all the servants in the mansion more disciplined.

After all, Brother Hu is from the rivers and lakes. With many years of walking experience, Jiang Jinyue's heart skipped a beat when he saw this kind of wrist. People didn't dare to say a word, because the traitor would rather die if he was caught.

Subconsciously, Jiang Jinyue stood in front of the two children, blocking their sight.

"If you can't see it, you will be afraid."

With a soft voice, Jiang Jinyue coaxed the two children.

When he raised his head again, the bloody scene in the other courtyard could no longer be seen in his sight, and Li Zongyu's broad shoulders were in front of him.

Jiang Jinyue pursed her lips, unable to tell what emotion she felt.

This person, even if he doesn't like himself, always shows his gentleness unintentionally, the gentleness under silence.

Brother Hu realized something was wrong, so he ran over quickly and yelled.

"Didn't you say that the prince and concubine closed the door when they came back!?"

Upon hearing this, a nurse in the other courtyard scrambled and closed the door from the inside. Brother Hu knelt down on one knee and cupped his hands towards Jiang Jinyue.

"The villain deserves to die, for disturbing the interest of the prince and empress, the villain is willing to be punished."

"It's okay."

Jiang Jinyue came out from behind Li Zongyu, her face condensed into one, looked around at the servants standing nearby, and said lightly.

"Tiger Nursing House did the right thing. Let some restless people know that their hearts are towards our palace. Naturally, they have higher monthly silver than other places, and the treatment that other places don't have. But if you have bad intentions, don't blame our palace for not doing it. Be kind."

Jiang Jinyue's tone was soft and her expression was calm. She smiled and glanced at the servants gathered in the front yard, as if she was the most gentle mistress in the world. Who would have thought that such a young girl would have a heart Ru Tieshi is calm and composed, and he is not afraid in the face of such a scene.

Li Zongyu turned his face sideways and looked at Jiang Jinyue lightly.

Under the faint setting sun, Jiang Jinyue stood in the dim light of day, her beauty was shocking.

She can always solve any problem, calm down the scene with only a few words, and within a few days, the palace can be seen to be orderly, and even the daily service preparations are much faster than before.

Li Zongyu's heart moved, and he clenched his fists unconsciously.

In the main courtyard of the front yard, the meals had already been set up. Luluo Luyi was holding a water basin. One of them knelt down to wipe Jiang Jinyue's hands and wiped his handkerchief. The other, together with Xue's mother, helped the two children wash their hands and face and prepare the meal bags.

After washing his hands, Jiang Jinyue remembered Li Zongyu standing behind him.

She was embarrassed.

Forgive her for being a soul in the 21st century. She really doesn't have the idea of ​​letting her husband come first in everything. Li Zongyu hasn't come to the main courtyard for a month. It's a habit, and she has forgotten it.

After washing her hands, Jiang Jinyue turned her head, took the basin from Luluo's hand, and held it in front of Li Zongyu.

"My lord, my concubine will help you wash your hands."

Don't dislike the water she washed with.

After a pause, Li Zongyu said slowly.

"No, I'll do it myself."

As he said that, he reached out and took the basin over, placed it on the shelf next to it, and washed his hands slowly.

With sharp eyes, Jiang Jinyue saw several deep nail marks on Li Zongyu's palm.

This is the first time the two have eaten together since the inexplicable Cold War.

On the square table, Jiang Jinyue sat opposite Li Zongyu, with two children, one on each side, and Luluo next to her, holding chopsticks and serving dishes, and no one spoke.

Bai Ziang and Bai Zili ate a lot of dim sum in the car, but now looking at the table full of food, they didn't eat much, and this trip was exhausting, so after eating for a long time, they ate Want to go back to take a shower and sleep.

Jiang Jinyue got up, wanting to follow and coax the two little guys, but Bai Ziang took Mother Xue's hand and kept waving at Jiang Jinyue.

"Mother, have fun with Daddy!"

After speaking, he smiled and dragged Xue's mother out of the door.

Luyi was worried, and in order to take over Xue's mother in the future, she also followed, took two little maids, quietly resigned, and went to the child's small yard.

The number of waiters in the house suddenly decreased by half, and the two of them talked less these days. Coupled with Li Zongyu's half-dead attitude, he always felt a kind of unspeakable embarrassment.

"My lord, this honeydew melon was picked from the fruit forest. My concubine used one the day before yesterday. It's very good."

Jiang Jinyue started looking for something to talk about, so as to relieve the awkward atmosphere, she put the small dish with honeydew melon in front of Li Zongyu.

Li Zongyu responded, paused, and took a piece with his chopsticks.

It's definitely not okay to fight like this all the time, Jiang Jinyue put down her chopsticks, raised her eyes to observe Li Zongyu's expression, couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, hesitated for a while, and said slowly.

"My lord, why don't I have another cup of tea at my concubine's place after dinner? I'm thinking about it, and I have something to tell you."

"."

Li Zongyu frowned.

He instantly thought of the way Li Yuan looked at him that day.

That kind of victor swears his sovereignty, and with a certain kind of proud provocation, a knife is desperately gouging out his heart.

Before answering, Jiang Jinyue noticed that there was a young man outside the door who had been walking around several times.

Luluo saw it too, and Jiang Jinyue gestured with her eyes, Luluo put down her serving chopsticks and walked out.

Not long after, Lu Luo hurried in, looking a little embarrassed.

Jiang Jinyue waited for Li Zongyu to finish eating, and seeing Lu Luo's appearance, she asked a casual question.

"what happened?"

Luluo glanced at Li Zongyu, and after a long while, she knelt beside Jiang Jinyue, put her hands up to her mouth, and whispered in Jiang Jinyue's ear.

"Miss, there is a person outside the door who said he would give you a gift."

"Who?"

"It seems to be a person who has left the source."
