The first ray of sunlight shone through the window and into the room. She slowly opened her eyes and saw a bowl of steaming medicine on the table.
The little girl by his side said sarcastically, "His Royal Highness has instructed the wangfei that you must drink this medicine. Your Royal Highness doesn't want you to bear his child."
The woman on the bed turned her head slightly and said with a wry smile, "Go back and report to your master. Even if I die, I won't bear his child."
She would definitely not bear that man's child. She did not want her child to suffer as soon as he was born, and thus bear the consequences of his actions.
The weather had gradually improved in recent days, and it was already noon, the scorching hot sun.
"Miss, please rest for a while. Just leave these clothes to me." Ah Yu walked forward and used his sleeves to help her take out a handkerchief to gently wipe the sweat on her forehead.
The wind in the courtyard was very soft, mixed with the fragrance of the flowers, giving Luo Shang a very comfortable feeling. However, in her mind, she remembered the rows and rows of purple flowers that she saw in Yue's pavilion yesterday.
Luo Shang pulled Ah Yu's hand and they sat on a rock under the wutong tree.
"Do you know the flower 'forget-me-not'?"
Ah Yu rolled his eyes, he thought for a while, then nodded his head and said: "Is it the kind of purple flower that has no fragrance, and is as ordinary as a sunset?"
"You know?"
"Well, this kind of flower is very ordinary. Normally, there wouldn't be any existence of this kind of flower among the rich and powerful families in the capital. Most of the time, it would bloom in the night, and its vitality is very strong. Why did Miss suddenly ask about it? "
Luo Shang laughed, her eyes were red and sleek, as she said indifferently: "I'm fine."
The kind of flowers she only felt were beautiful and shouldn't be living where the man lived.
In the evening, someone came to punish her for going to the Peace Lightness Hall, which was the ancestral hall to pay tribute to the Leng Clan's seniors. There were trees and rocks everywhere in the courtyard, and as he walked in, he saw that there was a three-foot-tall green bronze cauldron on top of the big purple sandalwood sculpture table, which was hanging over the large ink dragon painting.
In the huge ancestral hall were hundreds of memorial tablets.
"Your Highness has instructed me that the wangfei will be here every day to pay her respects, copying the scriptures by hand to the Leng Clan's Undead. The prince had also said that the princess was making amends for her loss for the sake of the Luo Family, and hoped that her skills would be suitable. This servant will take her leave. "
After the servant left, Luo Shang then walked in. The bright tombstone seemed terrifying in the twilight. But at this time, Luo Shang was not the least bit afraid, because compared to that man, the peace and quiet here made her feel more at ease.
After three incense sticks' worth of time, she knelt down and closed her palm.
"The ancestors of the Leng Clan, the wife of my daughter's ninth Prince Jin, Luo Shang. I don't know what kind of grudge the Leng and Luo Families have, and I don't dare to have any illusions that I can solve the knot in my heart, so I can only hope that the Leng Clan can release their Luo Family and leave a path for me.
After three kowtows, he quietly knelt there.
After who knows how long, a little girl ran in panic in front of Luo Shang and said in a hurry: "Wangfei, it's bad, Nanny Ma locked Miss Zhuo Jin in the firewood house, she's currently in the great hall whipping Big Sister Ah Yu, she's about to be beaten to death."
"What?" Luo Shang did not care about anything else, and quickly got up and ran out.
In the main hall …
The girls on both sides all raised their little faces to watch the show. Nanny Ma rolled up her sleeves and ruthlessly whipped the weak woman who was kneeling on the ground. Speak quickly, did you take the Golden Bead that was lost to you for no reason? "
The woman who was kneeling on the ground was now covered with wounds. She staggered and then fell down with a thud.
A basin of water woke her up and whipped her again.
"Your mouth is so tough, are you going to admit it or not?"
Ah Yu was drenched all over, the water in her hair was flowing, she muttered weakly: "It's not me, not me …"
"Alright, what a cheap bone. See if I beat you to death or not." As he said that, he raised his hand, and waved the whip, but unexpectedly, Luo Shang ran forward and pounced on Ah Yu's body, blocking the whip for her.
"Miss …" Ah Yu held onto Luo Shang's clothes and cried.
Looking at her face that was green and purple, her clothes tattered and covered in blood marks, Luo Shang's heart ached. He touched her face and said: "I'm sorry for making you suffer."
"Miss …"
Luo Shang held onto the arm that was bloodied after being beaten up by Ma Sanniang, turned around and asked the woman who was showing off her whip: "What crime did she commit for her aunt to use such a heavy hand?"
The woman standing in front of him had her arms around her shoulders as she disdainfully said, "The Duke Mansion has lost a few of their golden beads. Someone saw your little girl stealing it."
"Oh? Then why didn't aunty call that person out to interrogate him? Why did she only interrogate me? "
"One of the little girls standing at the side walked forward and respectfully knelt down at Nanny Ma's feet. This servant saw with her own eyes that it was the wangfei's girl who had stolen the golden beads. Last night, she had walked into the side chamber in a flurry, and this servant had followed her out due to curiosity. "It must have been ordered by the wangfei, this servant didn't ask in detail."
"You're lying... I've never seen you before, and you're lying... "Miss, I did not, I did not …" Ah Yu cried and desperately shook her head.
Luo Shang patted her shoulder, and said gently while supporting her body. "I know."
"Ma Sanniang coughed a few times before walking over. When the princess heard this, she asked, "What, are we still going to interfere with this servant's office?"
The black could be white, the white could also be black. Now, they had all sorts of reasons to frame him, and justice was in their hands. Luo Shang knew that struggling was useless, these people did not make any sense.
She gritted her teeth and said: "I was the one who told Ah Yu to go, I was the one who ordered it, it has nothing to do with her."
"No, miss, no …" Ah Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, shook her head with all her might. She did not want the Young Miss to suffer anymore because of her, she had already paid too much for Luo Family.
All of the servants present laughed as they watched a good show. Ma Sanniang was even more pleased as she set up a trap to catch a big fish like her as she wished.
"Go and report to the prince, just say …" Just say that the matter regarding the Golden Bead was ordered by the princess. " Ma Sanniang swung the whip in her hand, and with a bit of ruthlessness at the corner of her mouth, she punched the ground a few times.
"Yes sir!"
Waiting for the Maidservant to rush back, she bowed in front of Nanny Ma.
"What did the prince say?" Nanny Ma asked urgently.
The corners of the servant's lips curled up as she said proudly, "The prince said stealing the golden pearl from the prince's mansion is a serious crime. I hope aunty doesn't think about the noble identity of the princess and can help him discipline her well."
The servant's answer was exactly what Nanny Ma wanted, it seemed that the Duke really hated this woman, after that night of sleeping so much, he thought that the Duke would take pity on her and stop, but he did not know, hehe …
"Alright, go back and report to your highness. This servant will properly discipline wangfei on his behalf. This servant will not be merciful."
A bone-piercing wind blew coldly. The palace in the middle of the night was like a dungeon, tightly locking her in.
Nanny Ma patted the whip in her hands, and walked towards Luo Shang step by step, her mouth revealing a sarcastic smile with malicious intent. She looked at the woman on the ground with a sinister gaze, and said: "Esteemed wangfei, since the Prince has spoken, then I can only offend you."
As he spoke, he viciously lashed out with his whip.
Immediately, the woman turned halfway, and her thin clothes were stained with fresh red blood. A long stain, filled with ruthlessness, was forcefully branded onto Luo Shang's soft and slender body.
"Miss …" Ah Yu hugged Luo Shang. Ever since the girl had entered the Duke Palaces, she had suffered unbearably. Ah Yu knew that she should not have endured so much innocent crimes.
Luo Shang bit her lips. She was in pain, but she raised her head, laughed with difficulty, and spoke to Nanny Ma in the blink of an eye. "Since it has nothing to do with my servant girl, then I hope that Aunt can take her away and treat her well."
With just a glance from Nanny Ma, the two girls beside her dragged the struggling Ah Yu away.
"Pah ~ ~" Another ruthless lash, Nanny Ma's attack was really ruthless, no one knew how many times she hit, but the servants on both sides did not even dare to raise their heads to look at the lady on the ground.
The woman bit her lips and slightly moved, but she still didn't yield. Her skin and flesh were torn and torn, and the clothes on her shoulders were tattered. Fresh blood gushed out.
Finally, she fell onto the cold, hard stone ground.
"Splash her awake!" Nanny Ma gasped for breath, with her hands on her waist, she shouted.
