Chapter 1 Clever Design Goodbye Grandma

The night in winter always comes very early and very fast, as soon as the sun sets, the night comes up.A heavy snowfall just fell a few days ago, and the silent mountain forest is clearly visible against the snow and moonlight.A little girl of twelve or thirteen, with a bundle of firewood on her back and a sickle in her hand, was walking hard on a rugged mountain road.The road was very slippery, and she staggered from time to time, her eyes looking at the dimly visible lights below the mountain, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She was wearing a shabby cotton jacket with cotton on her elbows, and there was not much cotton in the cotton shoes on her feet.The biting north wind made her tremble, but she still insisted on climbing up a slope.

When she climbed up, she threw down the sickle in her hand, and threw the firewood off her back, and then looked down to the foot of the mountain.She was waiting, waiting for the opportunity she finally seized!

After a long time, when she was about to freeze, a lantern torch was lit at the foot of the mountain, winding its way up the mountain.There was excitement in her eyes, and then she looked down at the steep and long slope under her feet, and her heart rolled down.

Her body was rolling continuously, the speed was getting faster and faster, and the stones encountered on the way could not stop her body.After rolling for an unknown how long, she finally stopped, glanced at the fire halfway up the mountain and fainted.

A ray of soft light came from the darkness, she slowly opened her eyes, and several faces came into her eyes at the same time.

"Miss Nine, you're awake! You scared the slaves to death!" A little girl with a red face and round face cried and shouted.

"Qingyu, where is this? It's so warm, such a comfortable bed!" She said as if dreaming, and then looked around.Suddenly, he saw an old lady sitting by the bed, looking at him with tears in her eyes, with a kind face and kind eyes all over her body.

"Grandma!" She exclaimed, struggling to get up and kneel on the bed, "Ruoxi kowtows to grandma!"

"Good boy, you are injured and lie down quickly, and you won't be able to kowtow to grandma for a while!" The old lady held her thin arm and couldn't help crying, "After all, she is also a girl from the Han family. How did you end up in such a situation? You are all Dead people, keep such slaves to bully the master! Tell them not to kill them, save your breath and I have something to ask him!" While speaking, there was a sharp look in his eyebrows and eyes, which made everyone in the room afraid to vent their anger.

"Forgive me, old lady. It's because my daughter-in-law's housekeeping is not strict, so I let such a slavish slave go. Every time I ask him, he always says that Jiu Yatou is all right and doesn't want to go back to the house. Occasionally, he sends someone to send things to see, but he doesn't see it. What's wrong?" Standing out from the crowd was a beautiful woman in her thirties, her upper body was a golden brocade jacket with a white background of wintersweet branches pattern, a pair of sapphire blue hollowed-out leaf pattern skirts, and a pair of pearl white lake crepe underneath. Dress, with a rich bun on the hair, a long silver phoenix carved hairpin inserted, emerald tassels hanging down, and crystal sticky beads clips on the sideburns.She wears an opal ring on her hand, and only a gold bracelet inlaid with emerald and pearls on her wrist, making her look extravagant and generous.

With guilt and self-blame on her face, she stood in front of the old lady and bowed her head respectfully.As soon as she finished speaking, a slightly mean voice sounded, "My brother and sister said this lightly. It has nothing to do with you when you were bullied by the servants in the farm together with Jiu Yatou! I think the old lady never went out when she was in charge of the house. In such a matter, the younger siblings can't even protect the blood of the third younger brother."

Han Ruoxi followed the voice, and saw another woman talking with a half-smile.Ruoxi's eyes were dazzled by the pearls and emeralds all over her head, and her two thin lips showed a mean look.

"The old lady clearly learned that if the daughter-in-law is someone who is not tolerated, there will be no aunts in the yard. The daughter-in-law asks herself, regardless of the concubines, she will be treated the same, because the nine girls are afraid of others gossiping in the village, and the money is big! It's just a daughter-in-law. Taking over the butler, I think I don't have half the ability of the old lady, and I always have more than enough energy, so I neglected to let this evil slave take advantage of the loophole! The daughter-in-law has been married to the Han family for more than [-] years, and she dare not go overboard in her words and deeds I hope the old lady will see clearly!" The third wife knelt at the old lady's feet, with tears in her eyes.

"Grandmother, don't blame the wife, it's because Ruoxi was cowardly and let the slaves bully her." Before the old lady could speak, she kowtowed and replied: "The wife always sends people to deliver things, and they dare not withhold when the aunt is still here. Later, when my aunt left, they saw that I was young and easy to bully, so they slowly withheld it, and then there was nothing left. I also thought about reporting to my wife, but every time the mansion sent people, they always tied me up I didn’t dare to open my mouth. Later, Qingzhu secretly ran out to chase after the people sent by his wife to deliver things. I never wanted to be found and beaten to death by them. From then on, I didn’t dare to think about it again. She was so unscrupulous that she asked me to chop firewood and make a fire, and food and clothes were the last things to do. Everything has nothing to do with my wife, grandma, don’t blame my wife!” She cried bitterly as she spoke, and the tragic experience made everyone wipe away their tears.

"It's a crime! Don't be afraid, grandma will definitely destroy that scumbag!" The second wife's eyes flashed when she heard the words, and then she glanced at the third wife who was kneeling on the ground, and the resentful expression flashed away.

The old lady told Ruoxi to lie down, and ordered the third wife to get up, "I told you a long time ago that you can't treat others blindly, some slaves can't do without a lesson! If you listen to me, why is Jiu Yatou, a dignified daughter of a thousand pieces of gold, punished like this today?" spoil?"

"The old lady's lesson is that the daughter-in-law knows her mistake!" The third wife replied with a low eyebrow.

At this time, a woman with a round face and a clean face came in outside, and she replied respectfully: "Old lady, Wang Lai's slut passed out after being beaten, and everyone else is kneeling in the yard waiting to be punished."

"Pour some cold water on him to wake him up, and I will interrogate him when I bring him in!" the old lady ordered sharply.

After a while, two young servants dragged in a man in his 40s and [-]s. He looked wretched and wretched.There was a pool of blood on the trousers, and his legs could no longer walk and were only drooping on the ground.The facial features on his face were wrinkled in pain, and he might be paralyzed if he escaped a catastrophe today!
Ruoxi who was lying on the bed suddenly trembled, the girl Qingyu hurriedly hugged her, and softly comforted her: "Girl, don't be afraid, he will never bully us again!"

"Poor girl Jiu." Seeing this, the old lady became more and more furious, wishing to tear Wang Lai to pieces on the spot.

"Bold slave, you dare to bully Jiu girl, do you still know who you are? Today I will beat you to death as a bullying dog, are you wronged?" The old lady's eyes were like knives Staring at Wanglai.

When he heard that he was about to be beaten to death, his face turned pale, he opened his mouth and glanced at the third wife next to him, crawled over and begged, "Please help my wife!"

"I trust you to put Nine Girls in the farm. Who would have thought that you would be so bold as to bully the master and almost kill Nine Girls. You still have the face to beg me when you get to this field? How can you be worthy of my trust, how can you be worthy of my family?" mother?" The third wife looked at Wanglai with deep eyes, which made him tremble, and then he collapsed on the ground without saying a word.
