"Xia Mingzhen, is Mingyu right?”Liu Yanqing questioned.
Mingzhen shed tears and shook her head. She knew that as long as she nodded, Qian Mingzhu would lose half of her life.
Li Mulan looked at Sister Mingzhen who was crying and said nothing. Perhaps, she had already realized that if she said it, it would ruin Sister Mingzhen.
"Good, very good! You guys are quite stubborn." Liu Yanqing's expression was ugly as she said loudly,"Men, drag Xia Mingzhen and Qian Mingzhu out and beat them up twenty times as a warning!”
Four palace maids came in from outside the door and dragged Mingzhen and Mingzhu out of the room according to Manager Liu's words.
Mingzhen trembled and said," Mingzhu, don't be afraid. Beating is a common occurrence for palace maids. It'll be fine after the beating and the pain."”
Li Mulan bit her lip and nodded.""Yes, I'm not afraid, but will it hurt?”
"Mingzhen, Mingzhu, you should tell me.”Wang Shanqin walked out of the room and saw that the palace maids who had good things to do had run over to watch the show. He said,"Physical pain is a small matter, but tarnishing your reputation is a big matter. Don't you even understand this?”
Li Mulan looked at Mingzhen and said resolutely,""I don't know!" In her heart, a man's face jumped up. Since he said it, she had to say it: He did not know.
Xia Mingzhen gave Li Mulan a reassuring smile.""You guys go ahead. We don't know anything!”
The two of them were placed on benches. This bench was about three feet long and one foot wide. It was specially designed for being beaten. As the palace mistress, Liu Yan Qing absolutely had the right to punish the low-level palace maids, especially the new palace maids. As long as they were not beaten to death, she could decide how many times they were beaten.
"Since that's the case, we can't miss out on any of the 20 big boards!”"Men," Liu Yanqing ordered.
"Yes, sir!" Two powerful palace maids appeared. They were tall and held thick boards in their hands. Just looking at them made one's heart tremble. One of them stood behind the victim's feet.
"Do it!" Liu Yanqing ordered expressionlessly.
Hence, the heavy baton hit his butt with a dull sound. Then, the two of them shouted. Pain spread throughout his body.
Liu Yanqing said to the palace maids,"You all saw it, right? This is the consequence of violating the palace rules!" Hit him hard!" She glanced at the scene and said," The rules of the palace are not for show. If any of you dare to cross the line, you will receive the punishment you deserve. Twenty slaps was considered a light punishment. If he dared to do it again, he would be severely punished!”
Although Qin Mingyu felt a trace of guilt in her heart, she was ultimately subdued by jealousy. Seeing Mingzhen and the others being beaten, she actually felt happy.
Zhang Mingxin quietly approached Mingyu. Will you also run to tell Manager Liu that I'm going out on a pilgrimage one night?”
Ming Yu's face turned red.”
Ming Xin glared at her and walked to Ming Lan's side. Ming Lan was frowning. When she saw Ming Zhen and Ming Zhu being beaten up, she suddenly pulled Ming Xin's arm."Mingxin, why don't you go and persuade him?”
Ming Xin flung her hand away." I'm courting death. If you want to go, go!"”
Ming Lan shrank her head back and shook her head."I'm not going. What if they hit me?”
Ming Xin sneered and stood there without saying anything.
Mingzhen and Li Mulan cried all the way until they finally received the twenty strokes. The two of them almost fainted on the bench.
"Get up, don't play dead. Are you trying to sympathize with you?”"Manager Liu still has something to say." Qin Mingyu said to them.”
Li Mulan was strong. She raised her head and asked,""What is it?" She felt as if she was lying on a cupping cup, and her entire body was uncomfortable. Mingzhen could no longer speak and could only cry. This was the only way to reduce the pain in her body.
Liu Yanqing was indifferent and said," It's not that I'm ruthless. Everyone has to abide by the palace rules. Let alone us palace maids, even the princes and princesses have to abide by them. No one can violate them."”
"Mingzhen, why aren't you begging for mercy?" Mingyu asked with a smile.
Mingzhen glanced at her weakly and did not speak.
"Bah!" "Qin Mingyu, you bastard!" Li Mulan shouted at the top of his lungs.”
Pa! Mingyu bent down and gave Li Mulan a slap.""Qian Mingzhu, Manager Liu and Manager Wang are here. Do you dare to disobey the rules?”
"You! Li Mulan struggled to get up." I'm not afraid of you!”She endured the pain and threw a punch at Mingyu. Mingyu dodged and her punch missed.
"Qian Mingzhu, stop!" Liu Yanqing said to her,"If you don't repent, then I'll fulfill your wish!"”
Qin Mingyu felt wronged and approached Liu Yanqing,"Manager, you have to make the decision for this servant!”
"Alright, in my eyes, you are all the same. Since you are palace maids, you should listen to me and do your job well. Don't think too much about other things.”Liu Yanqing turned around and faced Shan Qin." Chief Wang, I'll leave this to you. Master's matters have been pushed aside. I still have things to do."”
"Yes, it's been hard on you, master. Please." Wang Shanqin watched her leave and then said loudly,""Alright, alright, everyone disperse. Go do your work and be diligent. Don't let anyone catch you.”
Ming Xin and the others left. Mingyu took a deep look at Li Mulan and left as well.
Wang Shanqin looked at the two who were punished and said,""This beating doesn't feel good, right?”
Mingzhen finally got up from the bench, but she didn't dare to touch it with her hands. She took two steps with difficulty before she said in pain,"I'm sorry, Master. I won't dare to do it again.”
Wang Shanqin walked up to her and said,""Actually, we are all the same. Whoever makes a mistake will be punished. There are so many masters at the top, so our lives are the least valuable.”She looked behind Mingzhen and said,"Fortunately, I can still walk. Remember this in the future.”
"Yes." Mingzhen gritted her teeth and nodded.
"You're just too kind." Wang Shanqin looked at her and said," Don't protect Qian Mingzhu in the future. She can't even protect herself. What else can you expect from her?"”
"Chief, she's a silly girl. If I don't help her, who else will?”Mingzhen said faintly.
"Sigh, you brought this upon yourself." Wang Shanqin patted her shoulder.""Your shoulders are so weak. What can you support?”
Mingzhen tried her best to stop her tears from flowing.
"Sister Mingzhen, I'll blow on it for you. Don't cry.”Li Mulan grinned and walked up to Mingzhen.""It really hurts!" She bent down to blow on Mingzhen's butt.
Mingzhen suddenly smiled,"Manager, Mingzhu is so cute. Can I leave her alone?"”
"Don't think that you don't have to do anything just because you've been beaten up. Hurry up and eat your breakfast and continue doing your work!”Wang Shanqin took a step back and said,"The two of you can help out in the imperial kitchen and pick the heaviest and most tiring work."”
"Yes, Chief." Mingzhen replied.
Li Mulan watched Wang Shanqin leave and then supported Mingzhen.""Sister Mingzhu, I'm sorry."
"Mingzhu, so you know how to say sorry too.”Mingzhen said to her,"Today's incident is a lesson for us. We're already very lucky to be alive." Some palace maids would even beat their masters to death.”
"What is it?" Li Mulan murmured.
"It's true. I'm not trying to scare you. Master can pinch us to death at any time." Our lives are like ants. That's why Mingyu Mingxin wants to be a master. Only by being a master can we have a better way to live.”
"Alright, we'll be the masters!" Li Mulan said half-seriously and half-angrily.
Mingzhen wanted to laugh, but she couldn't. We should go in and rest for a while. We have to go to the imperial kitchen later.”
"Yes." Li Mulan listened to Mingzhen the most.
However, when they helped each other back to the room, they found that the floor was covered in water. The wet blanket could not cover them at all.
"How did this happen?" Tears welled up in Mingzhen's eyes.
"I want to beat them to death!" Li Mulan became excited. Even if she was stupid, she knew who did this.""These people are too despicable!"
"No, Ming Zhu." Mingzhen wiped her eyes and said,"It's useless. We can't catch anything if we don't see the person." Even if we complain, others will say that we are deliberately taking revenge.”
"No, I can't take this lying down!”Li Mulan seemed to have forgotten the pain in his butt.""I'm going to fetch water!"
"What are you doing?" Mingzhen asked nervously.
"If you want to get wet, let's get wet together!" Li Mulan explained.
"Don't be rash. There's no benefit in doing this!”"Let's take the bedding out to dry!" Ming Zhen said.”
"Sister Mingzhen, can I not listen to you?”Li Mulan began to struggle.
Mingzhen didn't even think and said,"No! You must listen to me! Discard this idea."
Li Mulan rolled his eyes, suppressed his anger, and said,""Alright, I'll listen to you."
They rested on Mingyu and the others 'beds and hung the bedding out before slowly heading to the side hall where the palace maids ate. However, there was no sign of breakfast!
Qin Mingyu seemed to be waiting for them. When he saw them, he said resentfully,"You're a step too late, and the last steamed bun has been eaten. Why don't you drink the hotpot water?”
Li Mulan didn't understand." What's hotpot water?" he asked. Is it good?"
Ming Zhen held back her temper and said,"Ming Zhu, Ming Yu is joking with us. This water could not be drunk and could only be used to feed pigs.”
"Oh, but I'm so hungry, so hungry.”Li Mulan's stomach rumbled.
Mingzhen suddenly had an idea." Mingzhu, let's go hungry. Let's go to the imperial kitchen to help."”
Mingyu knew what Mingzhen was thinking and said,"Let me tell you, Qian Mingzhu, if you secretly eat in the imperial kitchen, you will be beaten to death!”
Li Mulan touched his nose and ignored her. Mingzhen's face turned red as if she had been told the truth.
The imperial kitchen was still bustling with activity. Cao De Nuo raised his head and saw the person who had caused trouble yesterday. He hurriedly walked to the door of the hall and said,""Oh, my great aunt, why do you still dare to come here?”# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 56PM #
