But when the matter was pushed to the maid beside An Lingyi, the Countess would naturally not hesitate, and would find an excuse to deal with An Lingyi, as killing two birds with one stone.
Although she looked like she was helping An Lingyi get out of the scam, in reality, she had dug a hole for him. She was just waiting for the old lady to find an excuse one day, and she would have to suffer a lot.
An Lingge's lips curved upwards, following the order of the law, he walked out.
”Madame, your servant is innocent!” The servant girl was pushed to the bench and continued to struggle. The old lady, along with An Lingxue and the rest, stood at the side and heard what was said and frowned, ”Block her mouth.”
The rags had naturally been prepared long ago. A woman picked up the rags and stuffed them into the servant girl's mouth.
The madame then nodded her head, ”Fifty lashes, not one bit less.” Not just Little Ge, the rest of you, take a good look at Little Xue who wants to see her executed.
She brought the few young misses out to watch the torture. It was not to teach them how to manage their servants, but to use this servant girl to beat them up. This was so that one or two of them wouldn't become restless and cause trouble every now and then.
An Lingxue seemed to be unable to bear it, a look of sympathy appeared on her delicate face, ”It's just a servant …”
Her voice was low, as if she wanted to plead on behalf of the servant girl.
The old mistress' expression did not change, and her tone was much less than usual. ”It's precisely because she's a servant that I can't let her off.” This person, when he was born, he decided on a lot of things. ”
It was precisely because she was not born well and was only a small maid, that she was used to taking the blame. If it wasn't for the fact that An Lingyi was the Young Miss of a house, she should be the one to be whipped.
However, An Lingxue thought that the madame was knocking her on the door, telling her not to think about marriage that did not belong to her due to Prince Mu’s Palace.
Her expression froze for a moment before quickly regaining her composure. ”Grandmother is right. Birth does determine many things.”
But even if being born determined many things, there were still many things that could be changed through hard work. For example, the most respected Queen in the palace, from a noble family of a noble king, with a prominent position and finally not getting favored by the Emperor, was climbed onto the head by the daughter of a small official of the Imperial Noble Consort Li.
An Lingxue's expression changed, seeing that the execution was starting, she lowered her head.
It wasn't that she was putting on an act this time, it was that she had never seen such an execution before. After all, the execution was a bloody mess, causing people to be afraid.
Naturally, An Lingyi did not dare to look, as she heard the whips in the air crackling, as if the whips had landed on him. She hurriedly lowered her head to look at her feet, trying her best to ignore the crackling sounds.
After a while, the madame was a little tired and had someone bring her back to her room. However, she ordered the ladies to finish watching the punishment.
An Lingge agreed, her gaze landing on the servant girl, seeing the whip leave a red wound, her face actually had an unspeakable indifference.
