In the yard, the sound of sticks hitting flesh could be heard, but Lianrong stared at Concubine Gao and remained silent.
After only ten blows, Lianrong fainted.
Jin Xin quickly stepped forward to protect Lian Rong, pushed the executioner away, and called Lian Rong softly. Lian Rong got a chance to breathe, squeezed out a smile, looked at Jin Xin, "Master, I'm fine, I can still persist in."
How could this person with such a pale face be able to withstand this? If he were beaten with twenty sticks, he would be crippled even if he didn't die.
Jin Xin hurried forward and begged Concubine Gao on her knees, "Concubine Gao, please show your respect and stop hitting me. If you do, you will really die."
Concubine Gao changed into bright clothes, asked a servant to hold a chair, and sat in front of her, watching the execution. Now that she saw Jin Xin begging for mercy in front of her in a low voice, she naturally felt happy.
She wouldn't beat her to death, but she would have to be crippled.
"Seeing how humbly you beg me, I will spare you five sticks and give you five more sticks and the matter will be over." She smiled.
Then, the two boys hit her twice with sticks, and Lianrong was completely unconscious.
Seeing this, Jin Xin rushed forward and blocked Lianrong. She received a stick on her waist, which made her groan in pain.
This unexpected stick frightened the two servants to stop immediately.
After beating the prince's concubine, these people still want their hands.
Seeing this, Concubine Gao frowned, sat up, and looked at Jin Xin's behavior with confusion, "You are just a lowly slave. You really are of low origin, and you are willing to be beaten for these lowly slaves. In this case, Then finish the rest of the cane."
Her words made the servants present have different expressions, but the two servants did not dare to take action anymore.
Seeing that they didn't take action, Concubine Gao immediately became angry and scolded, "What are you doing? Not beating me? If you don't beat me, you two will share the remaining sticks."
The servant felt a little uneasy when he heard this and asked, "If Concubine Jiang is injured, the prince will come back to blame her, and I will not dare to take the blame."
"I'll take the courageous thing and hit her with the remaining three sticks. If there are no rules, there will be no rule. When the prince comes back, there will be nothing to say."
Jinxin was speechless, holding Lianrong in her arms without letting go.
The two servants had no choice but to kill him.
However, he didn't use a lot of force. He just looked at the strong force, but when he touched her, the force had weakened.
Naturally, Jin Xin had to act like she was in pain, which made Concubine Gao smile happily, and she did not suspect that the servant was cheating on her.
"Okay, this offense against me has been punished today. Concubine Jiang, you have to watch your servants more closely in the future. The next time, it won't be solved by this mere fifteen sticks."
After saying that, he led the people into the house.
The two servants waited for Concubine Gao to leave, then knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, "Master Jiang, please don't blame us. We have no choice but to do this. We are older and younger, so we really can't die."
Jin Xinqiang sat up with his head propped up and said calmly, "Help me send the lotus seed to my room. I will not pursue this matter. Thank you for your mercy just now."
There were no injuries on her body, but she was hit on the waist with the first blow and needed to be slowed down.
The two servants quickly followed suit.
When Lianrong woke up, she saw Jin Xin giving her medicine. She had changed her clothes and put medicine on her body. Seeing her waking up, Jin Xin hurriedly scooped up the dried medicine for her and delivered it to her. On her lips.
Lianrong looked at the bowl of medicine with mist in her eyes. She didn't cry when she was beaten, but now when she saw Jin Xin taking care of herself, she suddenly started crying uncontrollably.
Jin Xin looked at her worriedly and asked, "Does the wound hurt?"
"No, I'm moved. Master, please leave me alone. I'll just take care of you for a few days." Lianrong choked with sobs.
"Silly girl, you followed me and made you suffer. If it weren't for me, how could Concubine Gao have made things difficult for you? It's me who has caused you trouble."
"No, this slave is not careful. She will be extremely careful next time." Lianrong said hurriedly.
Jin Xin smiled, but in her heart she hated Concubine Gao. She originally thought that Jiang Yushu's child was innocent, but now she realized that if she hesitated, she would face death.
Then let Concubine Gao and Jiang Yushu fight each other.
At night, she went to Concubine Liu's yard.
Concubine Liu gave her a package and when she took it out, she saw that it was a piece of straw paper with two names on it, Gao Yunwan and Jiang Yushu, each with their birthdays and horoscopes.
When Lianrong saw the two paper-jammed people, she hurriedly pressed Jin Xin's hand, stuffed the things back into the package, and said in a low voice, "Master, how come you have this thing? This is a forbidden technique, and it has been practiced since the founding of our dynasty. Issue an injunction and do not allow the practice of victory-hating techniques. If the prince finds out, you will be doomed."
Jin Xin took a deep breath, took Lianrong's hand away, and looked at the two paper figures with a firm look on her face, "Gao Yunwan and I are destined to be incompatible. I will never have a good life without her. The same goes for Jiang Yushu, she is kind-hearted and cruel, but her methods are ruthless. I will do this just for my mother and little brother."
Lianrong was stunned, looking into Jin Xin's firm eyes, knowing that she could not stop her, but they were one with honor and disgrace, and if something happened to Jin Xin, she would not be able to live.
"Then how can this slave help you?"
Jin Xin shook her head, "You can rest in peace during this period of time and let Qiulian take care of me during this period."
Lianrong was also helpless now and couldn't get out of bed at all, so she could only listen to Jin Xin.
Qiulian is quick with her hands and feet, smart and can see colors. She doesn't look like someone who has just been sold into slavery.
After some time, we will know who sent her.
Jin Xin could see that the tact and alertness in her body were not the intelligence of ordinary maids. Jin Xin had been able to see through people's eyes over the years in the Marquis Mansion, and naturally she could see through some people's traits.
But Qiuling is useful and can be tested.
Qiulian was a little surprised to be taken to Jinxin's side to serve her. She didn't expect that she would be taken to her master's side to serve her as soon as she arrived.
Jin Xin said that Qiu Lian could only accept the temporary replacement of Lian Rong.
In the evening, King Rui came back and learned about what happened in the morning. He asked about the cause and effect, but he only gave his servant fifteen sticks.
After hearing this, King Rui frowned and said, "Don't tell me these little things from now on."
It's just punishing a servant, it's not a big deal.
The butler responded, and the matter was revealed.
It was completely expected by Concubine Gao, but Jin Xin was somewhat sad.
If people have expectations, they will naturally be easily hurt. The only person she can rely on in this courtyard is Prince Rui.
But now that she thinks about it, Prince Rui is unreliable, so she still has to rely on herself.
When it was time to go to bed, Qiu Lian came in to remove her makeup and help her go to bed to rest. When she lifted the quilt, Qiu Lian caught a glimpse of a paper-stuck person on the bed and backed away uneasily in fear.
Jin Xin pretended to be confused, "What's wrong?"
The quilt was covered again, Qiulian quickly calmed down her expression and shook her head, "It's nothing, master, please rest quickly."
Jin Xin remained calm, nodded, then blew out the lamp and lay down.
Qiulian was a little undecided, but she hurried out.
