C80 (2/2)
The Madam then raised her hand and instructed the people beside her, ”Close the door.” Then he walked straight to them and sneered, ”Those who have the guts, go and spread the news, otherwise, just stay put. Open your eyes and see which one is the true master. ”
The atmosphere in the store became strange. The servants all knew that a man came yesterday and followed the young miss to the backyard. Afterwards, she didn't come out for the entire night and went out together with her this morning. They were all certain that Yue Huaiyin was someone who was hidden by the house of gold.
”Madam … Madam …” Didn't you go to Ji Prefecture? ”
The servants brought a stool over, and the National Duke Mistress sat steadily in the middle of the shop. ”Wait a moment, it's rare for me to come out and take a look.”
Not long after noon, Xiaowan and Susu arrived at the town hall, where they were pulling materials from the cloth shop on the same street as Siyun Pavilion. Susu was very elegant, the extremely sturdy materials seemed to be very rough, and the fine cloth were afraid of not being durable, she had chosen it for a long time, causing the Xiaowan to be very bored. She walked around the shop, and suddenly heard a commotion outside, and peeked her head out to take a look.
Her heart skipped a beat and she unconsciously walked a few steps forward, just in time to see the two servant girls bringing out a large stool. The lady walked out leisurely, and the one standing opposite her, was none other than Yue Huaiyin.
Xiaowan did not realize that after she walked a few steps closer, she heard a voice.
”Search her first, don't ask her to bring something as dirty as the incense.” She struggled for a moment, then a servant girl rushed forward and slapped her face, and scolded, ”Little slut, don't refuse a toast!”
Xiaowan's heart was thumping hard. Inadvertently, she saw a familiar face, and that man slowly walked out of the crowd. Yue Huaiyin's gaze was on him as she hid behind the human wall.
A servant girl said loudly, ”This woman is a prostitute from the capital's jirga. She seduced my master and wants to marry her to be a child.” After he failed, he would come here to take advantage of the Madam's absence and steal her gold and silver jewelry. You guys actually dare to use this kind of rouge and cosmetic powder sold by lowly people? All the brothers bought it and gave it back to your wives, aren't you afraid that they will go outside to recruit bees and lead butterflies? ”
”Madam, we've searched it thoroughly. There's no such thing.” The other person waved his hand and stepped forward to report.
Xiaowan did not expect that the Madam who was always cold and aloof would actually be such a vicious person. She actually said, ”Since she likes to let men play with her body, then let her be done with it. Let the neighbors and the men on the streets have a good look at her and see what the brothel lady in the capital looks like.”
”Yes.” The two servant girls, their hearts as hard as stone, did not care for the fairer sex at all. They rushed up and slapped Yue Huaiyin twice, then began to take off her clothes.
Yue Huaiyin had warned her before that she would be a weak woman with no power at all when it came to things like the Dancing Fragrance. Any rogue beggar would be able to harm her, but she never expected that what she said would be true.
”Let me go, let me go …”
”Help me, help me, help me …”
Yue Huaiyin yelled out National Duke's name, but this time, it angered the National Duke's wife. She rushed up to pinch her lips and said with hatred: ”Bitch, are you trying to throw away all your face for him?
Sadly, the man below the name had long since disappeared from the crowd.
Seeing that the Madam was unhappy, the two servants started to tear at Yue Huaiyin's clothes even more forcefully. The shop assistant, on the other hand, had the intention of saving the Miss, but the guards of the National Duke did not dare disobey the Madam and kept them under guard.
Some of the people on the street looked at Yue Huaiyin's slowly revealing body obscenely, others pitied her, but they were afraid of angering the big figures and making them afraid to do anything. Although there were more and more people, none of them dared to help.
National Duke's wife saw the random items hanging in the shop across the street. He pointed at them and a servant girl ran over and picked two of them and asked, ”Madam, how do I beat them?”
The Lady turned round coldly. ”She is naked, poor thing, and she is dressed all in red.”
She slowly walked to her chair, and the sound of the whip behind her started to resound. The feather duster had made a terrifying noise in the air, upon contact with Yue Huaiyin's body, a sinister mark immediately formed on her tender skin. If Madam wanted to dress her in red, she would have to leave these marks all over her body.
Under the intense pain, Yue Huaiyin did not scream, Xiaowan took a closer look, and her mouth was blocked.
Yue Huaiyin was already on her last breaths, while the Xiaowan was slowly being pushed away by the crowd. Gradually, the scene inside the cave became indiscernible, only the sounds of whipping and familiar whipping could be heard …
She had once told her master that he must definitely let Yue Huaiyin be punished, and she had even more so, made a wish with her Jade Ring. She thought, it doesn't matter if he was sent to a prison to be exiled, or if he was poverty-stricken.
If it was anyone else, Mu Xiaowan would have definitely rushed up long ago, but she was actually currently struggling in contradiction …
”Xiao'er, what's wrong? What's going on?” Susu finally walked out of the cloth shop, and seeing the Xiaowan in a daze, she looked at the crowd.
Because she could not see clearly, she walked forward a few steps and tiptoed. She was surprised to see that the woman who was beaten to death was Yue Huaiyin.
Susu was frightened out of her wits, she threw the thing in her hand and rushed through the crowd shouting: ”Young miss, young miss.”
Xiaowan suddenly regained her senses, Susu had already rushed in, throwing herself onto Yue Huaiyin's body, she was scared pale white, trembling while protecting the people behind him: ”You, what are you doing, why are you hitting me?”
”young lady, it has nothing to do with you. If you still don't leave, we will beat you up as well.”
”In broad daylight. Do you even have any laws?” Susu shouted loudly, begging for help to the people around him, ”Our young miss is a good person, our young miss is a good person.
It was at this moment that the Fast Catcher on the street received the news and finally rushed over. The crowd gradually dispersed, and a few people who saw this scene, were shocked, and the guards quickly stood in front of the Madame, not allowing any of the little yamen runner s to be disrespectful to her.
Yue Huaiyin slowly opened his eyes and saw Susu blocking her path, and through the gradually dispersing crowd, she also saw Mu Xiaowan standing at the side of the street without moving. They looked at each other, but their eyes were all blank.
”Miss, don't be afraid. The officials are here.” Susu cried as she took off his outer robes and wrapped Yue Huaiyin up, ”Why did they hit you?”
