boudoir

Chapter 67
The hall became quiet in an instant, Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Qi personally served the old lady into a bowl of ginseng soup. The old man sat down on the edge of the couch and said, "This Madam Li is rude and shameless, how can I teach Mama Li? If you teach such a rough lady, whose face will you lose? You don't think about things!"

The old lady and Mrs. Yu both had ghosts in their hearts, so they were silent at the moment.They didn't make a sound, and no one dared to take this issue, so the old man was left to sulk.

A member of Qian Changsheng's family walked in: "The theater troupe is about to start. Are the lords and wives coming over now?"

Mrs. Yu glanced at He Yu, who then looked at the old man, and said: "Father just said it well, it's the Chinese New Year, don't let these things make you lose your mind, why don't you let it go now?"

The old man thought about it, nodded, and everyone moved to the Haitang courtyard together.

Shuangxi came back not long after, and when she asked about Nanny Li, she found out that such a thing had happened.Liu Li didn't pay much attention to watching the theater today, secretly counting the time, and when she saw "Zhaojun's Outing", she backed out with a yawn.

Back in Xiaokuayuan, Yuegui was coming out with a copper basin to pour water, when she saw Liuli, she hurriedly called Haitang out to wait on her.Liuli went into the room and saw the copper leak, it was late Haishi, so she asked to fetch water to wash her face.

Rui'er got up from the bed and said, "Young lady, can you enjoy yourself?"

Liuli nodded and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Rui'er took the laurel and took off her coat, "It hurts a little if you walk in a hurry, but it's okay to take your time. ——Hey, where is the golden lock on the girl's neck?"

There was a golden lock engraved with Sheng Geng on Liuli's neck, which was hung every day, but now it disappeared.Liuli also panicked, picked up her clothes and rushed outside.Rui'er hurriedly stopped her, "It's so cold outside, what should I do if the girl catches a cold from running around? Just ask Yue Gui and the others to go there."

Liuli said: "They have never seen what my golden lock looks like, and they have never been to the main courtyard, how can they find it?"

In this way, Rui'er lost her mind.

Shuangxi came in with hot tea, saw them standing at the door one by one, said: "What's wrong?" Rui'er said: "Sister Shuangxi, the girl's golden lock is lost somewhere in the main courtyard, Yuegui and the others have never seen it, I can't go far, the girl is in a hurry!"

Shuangxi frowned, looked at her and Liuli, Liuli sighed: "Forget it, I'll go." Saying that, she was about to step out of the threshold.Shuangxi said: "Okay!" Put the tray on the table, "I'll go."

Rui'er was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly called Haitang back to her room to get the cloak for her, while Yuegui and her stayed behind to wait on Liuli.

Mrs. Yu couldn't sit still after finishing "Zhaojun's Exodus". Seeing that the old lady had dozed off, she hurriedly poked Mrs. Nie and the others to get up, woke the old lady up, and went downstairs to the main courtyard.

Just after entering the door, a woman rushed over from the corridor and said, "Old Madam, Da Furen, Mrs. Li has knelt for two hours, but you still want to punish her to kneel down again?"

Mrs. Yu glanced at Madam Li, saw her kneeling in the corner trembling, turned her head and looked over pitifully, unable to make up her mind, so she looked at the old lady.The old lady hummed, and said, "Let's do that first!"

The old woman got the instructions and hurriedly retreated to convey.Nanny Li kowtowed three times in the direction of the main room, got up, and stumbled towards the back garden.

After entering the Xiaokua courtyard, the surroundings were quiet. The two mothers, Sun and Wang, and Feng Chun'er all went home to watch the new year. Only the lights in the glass room were still on.She remembered that the little bitch had slapped her in front of so many people just now, and the anger in her heart surged up again.When he reached the door of her room, he raised his foot and kicked it: "Damn girl, you are so brave——"

"Hey, who is this? You dare to kick my door and come in!"

Liuli's voice floated out, and Madam Li looked up, and saw the dead girl she was talking about was sitting on the only large carved armchair by the round table in the center of the room, holding her tea in one hand Jar, staring at himself with piercing eyes.

Li Nanny's eyes were red with anger, she only thought that Liuli was still the paper nine girl, and immediately rushed over: "Damn girl, dare to drink my tea—" But before she finished speaking, her body was still in the air, and her left and right sides were separated. A person came out and clamped her tightly.She struggled to pounce again, suddenly Rui'er came in from the door, pointed at her and shouted: "Tie up this defiant slave!"

This Mrs. Li was over sixty years old, and she was forced to kneel in the ice and snow for two hours just now. Fortunately, she had grown up after eating Liuli's food during this period, so she didn't fall down immediately.At this moment, there was a burst of false anger, and he had long since lost the power to resist, and he was tied up firmly by Laurel Begonia after three times and five divisions.

Liuli said: "Haitang go and bring me her cane!"

Haitang responded and left.Nanny Li said: "What do you want?" Rui'er slapped her face twice: "Who taught you to be so unruly? How dare you talk to Miss Master like that!"

Nanny Li gritted her teeth: "You are lawless! Do you know who I am?!"

Liuli sneered and stood up: "I know, it's the imperial envoy sent by the old lady! - Do you want some tea? Give it to me!"

When it was too late, Rui'er brought seven or eight bowls of tea from the next door. Before Mammy Li came back to her senses, Yue Gui hugged her head and leaned back tightly. Rui'er He brought a bowl of tea and squeezed her chin to pour it down. Nanny Li was tied up, how could she struggle?After pouring seven or eight bowls like this, the abdomen is already distended like a drum.

"You guys, you dare to treat me like this, I'm going to tell the old lady!"

Nanny Li roared hoarsely.

Liu Li said: "You really think of yourself as a green onion! The friendship between the He Mansion and Yu Wang's Mansion has already climbed, do you think the old lady and the others will still care about you as a slave? Do you think that the punishment of kneeling tonight is accidental? Believe it or not If I throw you there now, just say that you kicked my door and called me a little bitch, can the old man throw you out immediately?"

Nanny Li was startled, but she immediately regained her composure: "No matter what, I am your tutor! If you dare to tie me up, even if the old lady kicks me out, she will never let you go! The relationship of He Fu is not comparable to that of a concubine of unknown origin like you!"

Liuli patted the table: "Okay! I'll beat you to death today and throw you to the main courtyard to see if the old lady will drag me to be buried with you! ——Rui'er, hit me!"

Haitang took the rattan with her hand, Rui'er had never done this before, so she was a little slow to start, Li Nanny raised her foot to kick her, Liu Li slammed the cup in her hand to the ground, grabbed the rattan and threw it over .Nanny Li took a whip on her back and fell to the ground screaming.Liuli whipped left and right, and the white cotton wool was pulled out of the cotton-padded clothes on her body.

Yuegui Haitang was terrified when she saw it, her two hands tightly grasped the skirt of her clothes.Liuli, who is still small in stature, seems to have become a man-eating devil in their hearts at this moment. They never imagined that this usually submissive Ninth Girl would be so intimidating when she got angry. At this moment, maybe they were a little bit I understand why Hongxiu will repeatedly tell them that they can only be loyal to Nine Girls alone...

After about ten or twenty lashes, Liu Li stopped.She wears thick clothes in winter, and she only smokes the thick parts, so even though she exerts all her strength, Mammy Li still only hurts some flesh.But his face was already pale with fright, and his teeth kept chattering.

Liuli sullenly said, "Have you ever heard of a folk saying that you have to pay the bills to celebrate the New Year? I took you down today just to settle the accounts with you! Rui'er told her how much she has to suffer from me before she can pay back what she owes me." Pay back these accounts?"

Rui'er gritted her teeth and said: "This old thing has been here for nearly two months. Three meals a day took up the girl's food. Calculated as one whip per meal, there are 180 whips in total. She robbed the girl's chair and the girl's firewood. Charcoal tea leaves are cheaper and count as twenty lashes. The other two strokes are heavier. As a slave, she dares to whip the girl and ask the girl to kneel down to offer tea. Just these two things, the slaves feel that death is more than enough!"

Mrs. Li trembled when she heard this, and immediately rubbed herself on the ground trying to get up.Liuli said: "Untie her rope!" Yuegui and her two quickly stepped forward to untie the rope.Mrs. Li pushed Haitang down and wanted to run outside, Yuegui hugged her right leg tightly, and Haitang got up quickly, and quickly blocked the door.

Liu Li swung two whips at Mrs. Li's head, she screamed and lay on the wall, two blood marks half a foot long appeared on her old face.

Liuli said: "Does it feel good to be whipped?"

Her legs softened and she knelt down: "Miss Nine, please spare this old slave! In the past, this old slave was blind and blinded by lard, and obeyed the order of the eldest lady to deal with the girl—"

"Shut up!" Liu Li slapped her face again: "The Da Furen will not order you, the Da Furen treats me like her own life, you are still talking nonsense when you die, Rui'er tied her up, sent her to Go there, Madam!"

Seeing that Rui'er was really coming with the rope, Mrs. Li hurriedly knocked her head loudly: "Ninth Miss, please spare this old slave! This old slave will never dare again!"

"How can you spare me? You still owe me two hundred lashes!"

Liuli took the re-brewed tea from Haitang, and took a sip of it.

Mrs. Li cried: "I know that the girl hates me. Today I have experienced the prestige of the girl, and I dare not ask for trouble anymore. Please do me a favor and let the old slave go out!"

Liuli said: "Go out? Where are you going? When you go out of this door, what should you do if you chew your tongue and go to the old lady to talk? I think you should stay. Anyway, you still owe me more than 200 whips. Give you a whip, and let you go when you finish paying, how about it?"

Mrs. Li was so frightened that she almost fell to the ground, her head banging against the ground, "Girl, please let this old slave go! This old slave should never have offended the girl. I'm going back to the Duke's mansion right now. I won't come back to He Mansion, and I won't meet people in He Mansion again, please spare my life!"

Liuli looked at her fingernails and asked Ruier: "What do you think?"

Rui'er said: "The girl agrees, but the servant does not agree. The girl forgot, this old thing still owes me money!"

Liuli groaned and remembered: "Isn't that right! Mother Li, you still owe Rui'er a slap, how do you count?"
