Chapter 52

When Ji Wanyan returned home, she thought that Mother Xu had already boiled the hot water for them, but when they walked in through the back door, they found that there was no one in the yard and the ground was in a mess. Ji Wanyan felt bad, and hurriedly shouted:

"Mother Xu, Mother Gan."

With her yell, Madam Xu walked out of the room without saying a word, her eyes were very red, her face seemed to have scars, her hair was loose, and her clothes were messy, as if she had quarreled with someone face to face, she waved to Ji Wanyan, Ji Wanyan and the others trotted over.

Just as she was about to speak, Mother Xu shook her head and dragged Ji Wanyan into the room. The room didn't look very good either. The quilt was cut and thrown on the floor. All over the place, the teacups on the table fell to the ground in pieces, the windows were smashed, some fell off the entire window, and some had several holes broken, and even the four pillars of the bed were knocked off. A pillar was thrown, and the blue-gray Chengchen fell on the bed.

"What's going on?" Ji Wanyan asked with a cold face.

Xu's mother was still cleaning with her head down, but when she heard Ji Wanyan's question, she squatted down, hugged her knees and burst into tears. Xu's mother cried like this, and Ji Wanyan remembered that there seemed to be a year when they were very hungry. When they went to the kitchen to look for food, they were caught by Dongyuan After the two dogs she raised chased after her, Mother Xu was frightened and cried in the same way.

Ji Wanyan saw that she didn't speak, so she walked into her mother's room. Lin's room was also in a mess. Nanny Gan and Uncle Fu were cleaning, both of them were gloomy. They were also covered with injuries, and their clothes were torn many times. , in a state of distress, the two old bones seemed to be loose, Uncle Fu was still limping, obviously injured by a leg, and Mrs. Lin was sitting on a grand chair in a daze, as if she didn't see the room. The situation here.

When Nanny Gan saw Ji Wanyan coming back, she stopped what she was doing, and looked at her hesitantly. Ji Wanyan walked over and looked at Mrs. Lin. Only then did Mrs. Lin seem to have regained her senses, and looked up at Ji Wanyan. Shaking his head, he said he was fine.

Mommy Gan sighed and said:

"Mei Mo was beaten to death by them. Mei Qiang was cleaning up the body for her, alas, what a crime, that child is just better."

Ji Wanyan's eyebrows twitched, she couldn't believe it: "What did you say? Mei Mo she..." How could she die?Before she went out to watch the lanterns, she had just been to Mei Mo's room, watched her eat a bowl of Lantern Festival, and promised her to bring back a lantern for her to play with.

Even though Nanny Gan had gone through the wind and rain, she couldn't help but collapse at this moment. Uncle Fu was not good at words, and didn't know what to say to comfort her, so he had to help her to sit down, and then Nanny Gan said everything to Ji Wanyan:
"Liu Ping next to the third lady rushed in with more than twenty nurses, saying that valuables were lost in the front yard, and suspected that we had them. They smashed things when they came in, and cut clothes and beddings when they saw them. They found Mei Mo's house and saw Mei Mo, so they said that Mei Mo was a criminal servant, and without any explanation, they sent someone to beat Mei Mo on the hospital bed with an iron rod as thick as an arm. They have no humanity, Mei Mo's brains were beaten out by them, Mei Qiang was going crazy with fright, we all tried to stop them, but there were too many of them, we couldn't save Mei Mo at all, after they beat Mei Mo to death, They took away all the valuable things from our place, including the silver around Mother Xu and the silver hidden in the cabinet by the old slave. If there is any dissatisfaction, let us go to the old lady and the third lady. They are reporting a personal grievance. They just knew that Mei Mo was back and brought someone to kill her. The poor child is only double ten... "

As Mammy Gan was talking, she burst into tears.

Lin sat quietly and didn't say anything, and she couldn't say anything at this time, because she was crazy, so those servants didn't dare to do anything to her. Ji Wanyan looked at her mother, and saw her fists clenched tightly, and her eyes were filled with tears. Chilling, Ji Wanyan lowered his head and turned around, and said with restraint:

"I'm going to see Mei Mo."

After speaking, he walked quickly to the room where Mei Mo lived. Lu Wan and Chao Yan were also terrified. They never expected that such a big incident would happen in the yard after they went out for a while. Both Gan Mo and Uncle Fu were injured. The two girls didn't know what to say, so they had to help the two old people aside, and they started to clean up the things on the ground.

When Ji Wanyan went, Mei Mo had already been scrubbed clean, but the bruises on her body and face silently recounted the treatment she had suffered during her lifetime, especially the one on the forehead, which almost dented her forehead. Ji Wanyan felt that the blood all over her body was congealed, her whole body was icy cold, and sparks seemed to come out of her eyes, Mei Qiang was crying like tears, a hole was cut in the corner of her eye, and she was still bleeding.

Gritting her teeth, Ji Wanyan turned around, and stood alone in the yard, letting the rain hit her.

The Lantern Festival was originally a joyful and lively festival, but who would have thought that such a tragedy would happen in such a corner of the courtyard?
