The Xue Mansion was wealthy and had many servants. In addition, Xue Dafu had eight wives and a group of unmarried daughters. When they heard that something had happened, everyone wanted to come and watch the fun.

When Shen Ruoyan took Xue Jinbao's hand and came outside Qi Yiniang's courtyard, she saw that the entrance of the courtyard was already three floors inside and three floors outside, and a large group of people had gathered around it, and it was so crowded.

Thanks to the presence of Xue Jinbao, the sole member of the Xue family, everyone automatically made way for a passage when they saw him, and Shen Ruoyan was able to walk in smoothly.

As expected of Xue Dafu's favored concubine, Qi Yiniang's yard was decorated in a very grand manner, but the owner of this yard was being pinned to the ground by several women.

The woman who had been so proud a few days ago now had her hands clamped behind her back, her clothes were messy, her hair was hanging down, her mouth was full of blood, and she kept making whining sounds.

Shen Ruoyan took a closer look and found that there was only half a tongue in Qi Yiniang's mouth that looked like a blood hole.

As the woman moved, blood continued to gush out of her mouth, dripping down her chin and onto her clothes, staining the skirt of her clothes red. Coupled with her frantic struggling, the whole person looked like a fierce ghost. She looked very strange. fear.

Shen Ruoyan remembered that there was a half-year-old child beside her, and quickly covered Xue Jinbao's eyes.

Little Fatty turned away dissatisfied and muttered in a low voice: "Don't treat me like a child."

The yard was noisy. Mrs. Xue led several other concubines to stand together, glanced at Xue Jinbao, but had no time to pay attention to him. She just explained to Xue Dafu who had just arrived: "Master, this You bitch dared to steal someone behind your back, but we accidentally caught you. She was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to bite her tongue and commit suicide, but luckily someone stopped her."

Hearing this, Qi Yiniang, who was on the ground, seemed to be stimulated by something. She suddenly used her strength to break free from the restraints of the two old ladies and rushed towards Mrs. Xue.

The women were frightened by her action, screamed a few times, and quickly dispersed.

Qi Yiniang jumped into the air, and after kneeling for too long, her legs weakened, and she fell to the ground. However, she kept uttering fragmented syllables in her mouth, and could vaguely recognize words like "no" and "unjust". Such syllables.

Seeing her unwillingness, people with some brains would have already made a judgment on whether she bit off her tongue by herself or had it cut off by someone else. However, no one in the yard dared to stand up and speak for him. of.

Soon Qi Yiniang was controlled again and pinned to the ground unable to move.

Looking at the woman lying on the ground with disheveled hair and blood all over her body, Mr. Xue frowned in displeasure, with a look of disgust on his plump face.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Xue's face flashed with a touch of unnoticeable joy. She straightened her hair that was messed up when she just escaped. She was helped over and said loudly to the outside: "Bring this person up!"

Soon two servants pressed down a tied-up man.

When Qi Yiniang saw this man, her struggling movements suddenly calmed down, and she stared at him firmly, motionless.

This person was a friend she had known before she got married, and the two grew up together as childhood sweethearts.

The first purse she embroidered will always be hanging on his body, and his box contains countless small portraits he drew for himself. Although they did not break through the layer of window paper, they still knew each other's intentions. , have long considered each other as partners in this life.

If there hadn't been that turmoil, the two of them might have been married long ago, and they would have been a loving couple that others would envy.

But there are never ifs in this world. After her family fell into decline and could not even afford a meal, she was sold to the Xue family and became Xue Dafu's concubine.

She cried and hated him, but finally accepted her fate, knowing that she would never have the chance to be with him for the rest of her life.

From now on, I can only hide this person silently in my heart.

Qi Yiniang had also thought about whether she would meet him again, but she never imagined that when the two met again, it would be at her most embarrassing moment.

"Master, this bitch is hooking up with him in private and doing dirty things behind your back." Mrs. Xue pointed at the man on the ground and said.

The third aunt on the side also came over and continued: "Isn't this the news that the seventh sister is pregnant? Today we sisters brought a lot of supplements and wanted to come over to visit the seventh sister.

Without thinking, she saw the seventh sister cuddling with this man, saying that she wanted the master to raise their son for them.

When we heard this, we felt something was wrong and immediately sent people to arrest the man. After questioning, we found out that the two of them had been secretly hooking up for a long time, and the child in the seventh sister's belly also belonged to this man. "

Another concubine clicked her tongue at the side, "Master, you usually treat her so well, how could this woman do such a thing?"

Xue Dafu's fat cheeks shook with anger. No man could accept that his woman Hongxing had cheated on her, let alone being pregnant with another man's child. He stared at the man on the ground and asked in a deep voice: "What did they say? Is it real?"

The man who was tied into a rice dumpling stiffened his neck and did not dare to look at Qi Yiniang beside him. He secretly gritted his teeth and said slowly in the eyes of everyone: "Master Xue, I am sorry for you. ."

Hearing this, the courtyard was silent for a moment.

In the overwhelming silence, Qi Yiniang suddenly laughed. I don't know whether it was because she was missing half of her tongue, or because she had too much resentment suppressed in her heart. Her laughter gave people goosebumps all over their bodies.

Qi Yiniang smiled while lying on the ground, raising her neck and looking around.

The madam who usually disliked her but had no choice but to do anything about it, the master who always held her in his arms and kept giving her gifts, and the servants who were in awe of her, all looked at her as if they were looking at a crazy woman. Son, so indifferent, so ruthless.

Finally, her eyes fell on the man kneeling next to her.

In her heart, the person she felt most sorry for was him.

Scenes from the past emerged in my mind.

When she was a child, she accidentally sprained her foot while playing in the forest with her friends. He was the one who carried her down the mountain. He was obviously still a child, and it was very difficult to carry a little girl on his back on the mountain road, but he refused to let her go. Put it down and walk, humming and breathing heavily.

The sunlight passed through the leaves, making their shadows grow longer.

It seemed that from that moment on, she started to be moved.

When they were a few years old, he went to school.

Every afternoon when school was over, she would always sit in her shop with a stool, under the pretense of helping her father look after the shop, but in fact she just wanted to take a look at the young man with his schoolbag.

Every year on his birthday, he would draw a small portrait of himself as a gift.

She regarded them as treasures and carefully hid them in wooden boxes.
