Reborn Concubine's Wife

Chapter 14 Catkins Are Punished
Liu Xu felt that what her girl did tonight was too reckless.However, she thought about it.The girl is neither humble nor overbearing, that kind of demeanor, even if she is as expensive as the fifth and sixth aunts, she will not have it.

The girl tonight is actually really beautiful, and she has the style of everyone that those people said.Just like what Mr. Xie said, the girl played the piano under the big tree on a moonlit night, she really looked like a fairy under the moon.

"Girl, I can't tell whether it's good or not. But, girl, I think you're a bit reckless tonight. What if..." Liu Xu fumbled to express his thoughts, but he was afraid that the words would not sound good, which would upset the girl. Happy.

"Liu Xu, you don't understand..." Zheng Ruo said softly.Here and Luoyang are separated by hundreds of thousands of miles, but the nobles all admire the demeanor of those celebrities.What she did tonight seemed reckless, but in fact she was well thought out.Once tonight is over, word of Zheng Ruo's talent will gradually spread.

Regarding the girl's sudden silence, Liu Xu didn't ask carefully.

The carriage had to return to the courtyard.Zheng Jinxiao sat in the room with a dark face waiting for her, and saw her come in.He scolded Liu Xu with a cold face: "It's so late, and it's not peaceful outside now. Why are you still taking the girl around? Don't you know that the girl is ill?"

On weekdays, Zheng Jinxiao is relatively gentle, and has never scolded a servant so harshly.Liu Xu was frightened by him for a moment, shrank back, and said cowardly: "It's my fault."

"If you know you are wrong, you will be punished! Someone..."

Liu Xu's head lowered, and her body began to tremble involuntarily.

"Brother, it's Ruo's fault." Zheng Ruo walked up and said, "Liu Xu is following orders."

"Ruo Niang, now you are sick, and you go out so late, what if your condition gets worse?" Zheng Jinxiao ignored her, "If she didn't take care of you, how could you, a little sister, be here? Going out at night? Ruoniang, elder brother knows that you are generous, but if you indulge your servants so much, how can you control them in the future?"

"Come on! Bring the ruler!" Zheng Jinxiao yelled.

"Promise." Someone replied from the side, "Your Majesty, a ruler."

Zheng Ruo turned her head and saw that Yang Zhi's forehead was covered with a layer of sweat, her face was pale, and she was walking very cautiously. She was holding a ruler in her hand. Seeing Zheng Ruo's gaze, she immediately lowered her head respectfully, looking like Is doing the duty of a slave.Zheng Ruo frowned, looking at her more and more coldly.

Zheng Jinxiao took the ruler and hit Liu Xu's hand one by one, mercilessly hitting twenty times before throwing the ruler in her hand to Yang Zhi.Liu Xu's hand had been beaten to pieces, swollen very high, bloody and bloody.

"Ruo Niang, remember, no matter how much a slave spoils you, you must have a limit. Otherwise, next time she won't take you out late at night, but will really hurt you." Zheng Jinxiao stared at her as she spoke. He glanced at Liu Xu.

Liu Xu lowered her head, biting her lip tightly with tears of grievance.After Zheng Jinxiao finished speaking, she walked out of the yard, "Yang Zhi, go fetch a basin of water."

Yang Zhi lowered his head, seemingly respectful, but in his heart he felt a little gloating, secretly enjoying himself.Just now, when Pingruo escorted her to give hairpins to the fifth aunt and the others, she was whipped ten times by the fifth aunt.If she hadn't been tired from playing today, I'm afraid she would have been thrown into a mass grave now.

She just couldn't bear the sight of the girl humiliating herself like this, yet she brought that worthless Liu Xu with her.The girl is so guarded against herself now, and she doesn't want to listen to her words, it must be the fault of Liu Xu, a little bitch.

Taking a sneak look at Liu Xu's hand, and thinking about the whip wounds on her body, she felt that Mr. Lang was too kind.It should be harder to beat her hands, "Yang Zhi!"

Yang Zhi, who was peeking at catkins, raised his head, and when he met Zheng Ruo's chilly eyes, he swayed uncontrollably from side to side, and replied in a low voice.

"Go get a basin of water to wipe Liuxu's hands."

"Girl..." Yang Zhi hesitated.The wound on her body was still burning with pain, if she was asked to fetch water now, wouldn't it kill her?Besides, Liu Xu is just a servant, why should she be asked to fetch water for her?

"What?" Zheng Ruo asked softly.

"No. Slave is going to fetch water now." For some reason, the girl's eyes are really afraid to be looked at directly.It made her speechless.

When Yang Zhi fetched water, Zheng Ruo carefully held Liu Xu's hands, moistened them with a handkerchief, and gently wiped the bloodstains for her.

"Girl, I can do it myself." As soon as the water touched the wound, it hurt so badly that Liu Xu's voice changed.

"Don't move. If this injury is not treated properly, your hands will be useless in the future." Zheng Ruo sighed lowly, and she was able to take the ruler away just now. "Liu Xu, I am ashamed of you."

"Girl, I don't dare to be a slave." Liu Xu was moved, and said, "Girl, it's really inappropriate to go out at night, and I should have persuaded you just now. Your lesson is not wrong."

"Liu Xu, I said that I would protect you. Today you suffered such an innocent disaster because of me, and I always broke my word. I feel really guilty for you." Zheng Ruo looked at the bloodstains on her palm, feeling very guilty.But if she had really stepped forward to grab the ruler just now, the elder brother would have hit him more than twenty times, maybe Liu Xu would sell it because of it.

Yang Zhi watched from the side, thinking of the whip wounds on his body that were several times worse than Liu Xu's, and felt envious and furious.

Girls have always listened to themselves, and they are always lukewarm to Liu Xu, when will they speak so nicely like now?Yang Zhi felt a little upset, walked over and said, "Girl, let me... slave come."

Zheng Ruo didn't pay attention to her, as if she didn't exist at all, and still carefully scrubbed Liu Xu's wound and applied medicine to her.

"Girl, Liu Xu is just a slave, let the slave come." Yang Zhi was not reconciled, and raised his voice a little.

Zheng Ruo finally turned his head to look at her, his gaze was like a torch, which made Yang Zhi, who was originally raising his head, have to lower his head.Zheng Ruo's gaze made her scalp tingle slightly, and cold sweat crawled down her back.

"In the past few days, Liu Xu's business is up to you. Liu Xu will rest these few days." Her voice was cold and majestic, so Yang Zhi had to answer, "No."
