Chapter 283: Betrayal
"They stopped the carriage, overturned it, and beat the horse to death. If my mother-in-law and I hadn't escaped quickly, we would have been crushed to death by the carriage."
"There were more than twenty guards and fifteen or six maids and nuns. In order to protect us, there were only four guards left, and they were all dead."
"Wuwu...Chu Yu, I thought I would die too. I thought my mother and concubine would die. I saw Brother Wang injured. I was so scared. Wuwu..."
Princess Qinghui suddenly rushed over, hugged Xia Zihan, cried loudly, and poured out the fear in her heart.
Xia Zihan hugged her, patted her back, and coaxed softly, "Okay, don't cry, everything is over. Don't worry, it's safe here. I'm still here, and I will protect you..."
Being arrogant, he is still a ten-year-old child.
Encountering such a bloody and thrilling danger, he was not frightened. It was because of this child's strength.
The second princess also shed tears, "It's all my fault. When I woke up in the morning, my left eyelid twitched violently. I felt that something would happen today, and I felt very uneasy. The prince also stopped me from going to Qiu's house, but... "She went anyway.
Her eldest brother was angry, blaming her for not appointing Yue Bi to Chen'er as his concubine. Her sister-in-law also had a long face when she saw her, not in a good mood.
Her brother and sister-in-law have never cared about her, and she doesn't need to care about them, but today happens to be her second aunt's birthday. Her second aunt treats her best and is the only person in her family who treats her sincerely. From childhood to adulthood, if it weren't for her second aunt, Her aunt always defended her, but she had been bullied to death a long time ago.
It was her second aunt's birthday, and she had to show up.
The only thing that made her happy was that before she left, she left Lao Wu in the care of his wet nurse, thus sparing him a lot of trouble.
"Everything was an accident. No one expected that the refugees would suddenly rebel." Xia Zihan comforted her.
The maid brought two large bowls of noodles, two plates of side dishes, one plate of braised pork, and two plates of pickles.
Princess Qinghui complained that she was hungry when she saw something to eat, "Wow, in order to escape, I even forgot that I haven't had dinner yet. Chu Yu, you are so considerate."
After Princess Qinghui and the second princess finished their meal, they went to the front yard to visit Ao Tianchen.
"It's not good, County Lord, the door to the backyard was opened, and the refugees came in from the backyard."
After a few people came out of the house, a housekeeper ran over and shouted.
Xia Zihan was shocked and said to the second princess, "Princess, you and Princess Qinghui go back to the house and hide first. Don't worry, my maids here have martial arts and they will protect you."
She left Chu Cang, Chu Fei, Chu Lin and others to protect the second princess and her daughter, and hurried straight to the back door.
The refugees had already rushed in and fought with the guards. There were also refugees who rushed into the back garden. Because the back garden was large, the guards could not stop so many people at once.
The refugees were running around fiercely with big knives that were still dripping blood. The maids and women they saw screamed in fear and ran away with their heads in their hands.
The brave young men and women picked up the beasts and went up to fight with the refugees.
Xia Zihan ran all the way and landed in the backyard.
Seeing the back door open wide and refugees pouring in like a tide, she looked stern, kicked her foot, and landed right in the middle of the door. She swung the long sword in her hand, killing several people in succession, and blood splashed everywhere.
While dancing with her sword, she shouted, "Fox, if you don't come here, I will be chopped into pieces."
As soon as her voice fell, ten men in black appeared from the darkness. Hua She, who was walking at the front, smiled and said, "How can that be done? The county chief has become a meat sauce. When the young master comes back, he will definitely turn him into a man." We can’t chop it into meat sauce.”
They have strong martial arts skills, cunning and deadly moves, and can chop down homeless people faster than they can chop cabbage in a vegetable garden.
In less than half a cup of tea, the refugees were forced back, and Xia Zihan closed the back door.
She left two secret guards to work with the Chu family's guards to clean up the remaining refugees. Of the remaining eight secret guards, she sent four to guard Bai Old Man's yard, and another four to Xu's house. Watching in the guest yard.
Although she hates the Xu family and Xia Ziying, she is in the Chu family now. She doesn't want them to die in the Chu family, let alone their blood staining the Chu family.
Hua She smiled and said, "County Lord, don't worry, I have already tied up the person who secretly opened the back door, and I will leave it to you to deal with him personally later."
Xia Zihan's face was gloomy, "Where is it?"
The flower snake glanced at the fox, and the fox flew to a big tree not far away, and in the blink of an eye, he picked up a person and landed.
He threw the person in front of Xia Zihan.
"Well, that's her." Hua She looked curious, "County Lord, have you ever offended her?"
Xia Zihan took a closer look and her eyes widened, "It's you, Nuan Xia, haha..."
She had almost forgotten about this person, but she actually ran to her to increase his presence.
Sure enough, a biting dog will jump up and bite you hard if given the chance.
In her previous life, she was so kind to Nuan Xia and treated her like a biological sister. But at the critical moment, Nuan Xia teamed up with Xu to frame her, forcing her to marry Cao Zian and suffer five years of hell on earth. life.
But in this life, she had long ago made excuses to move her away from her. Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Nuan Xia would disregard the lives of all the Chu family members and help open the back door for the refugees.
Her moment of weakness almost led to tragic consequences.
Xia Zihan's eyes were splitting, he raised his hand and slapped her, then kicked her, "Nuan Xia, I was not kind to you before, right? You don't need to risk the lives of the whole family to repay me, right?" br>
Nuan Xia was kicked away, and the rag stuffed in her mouth flew away. She gritted her teeth in pain, sweating on her forehead.
She glared at Xia Zihan resentfully, "Bah, don't say it nice. If you really wanted to be nice to me, would I end up like this today?"
"I was obviously the eldest maid of the county lord, but in the blink of an eye I became a rough maid in the laundry room."
Her delicate hands were soaked in water and rubbed her clothes all day long. Within three days, they became red and swollen, and then ulcerated.
When the housekeeper saw that she was a maid who had been dismissed by the county boss, and had no backing, she would bully her hard.
Her hands were almost useless, and she was asked to wash the clothes. If she hadn't suddenly become sick with a fever and was about to die, the housekeeper would have let her go for fear of causing death.
Otherwise, I'm afraid she would have died long ago.
And all of this was given to her by Xia Zihan.
Her eyes were full of resentment, "As a maid beside the master, I am trying to please the master. Is this wrong?"
"That's right." Xia Zihan smiled and said, "If it weren't for your different intentions, you would be the same as Nuanyu Silk Grass and Vanilla today, and still be my capable maid."
"You will get what you sow. You will end up where you are today. It's all your own fault. No one can blame you."
"As my eldest maid, you deceived me into talking easily, and you were young and ignorant. How many things did you steal from me? How much jewelry did you steal? The total of those things would be enough to buy a hundred maids."
Mrs. Zeng had always doted on her and spent more money on her than on herself. When she was a child, other people's children wore hollow jewelry, but she wore solid jewelry. The value of three pieces is worth the same as others.
I don’t know how many pairs of gold bracelets, anklets, and necklaces she wore when she was three or four years old were lost. Nuan Xia secretly took them out and sold them.
In fact, she has always known that if something is lost, Mother Cui, Aunt Yu, and Nuanyu will tell her.
There were only a few people in the room, and anyone who touched them could be found out with a quick check.
In the past, she had a good temper and a kind person. She thought she was short of money in the warm summer, and she kindly let everyone pretend not to know.
Anyway, as Nuan Xia said, she doesn't wear those things anymore, just leave them there, and take them away if she wants to use them.
Who knows, her kindness will feed this wolf's appetite.
If it hadn't been for her betrayal in her previous life, she might have continued to indulge her greed even now.
"Later, you tried to steal the key to the warehouse while I was away from the capital, and you did it more than once. If Mother Cui hadn't kept a close eye on me, you would have moved everything in my warehouse long ago."
< br>
"You..." The color on Nuan Xia's face suddenly faded away, but she still refused to admit her mistake, "Those jewelry are the ones you no longer wear. I just took care of them for you. I..."
"Even if I don't wear it, I am the only one who has the right to deal with it. As a slave, you secretly steal the master's things and sell them, are you still justified?"
It makes no sense, not at all.
But Nuan Xia doesn't think so.
She roared angrily, "Why not? I take good care of you with all my heart on weekdays and serve you like my own father and mother. No, I have never served you like this even to my biological father and mother. How good I am to you, I’m just taking something you don’t need anymore, why don’t you allow it?”
"You don't need it anyway, why don't you give it to me?"
Still so confident.
Xia Zihan sneered.
"If it weren't for your words, I would still be a maid. Maybe I could be my uncle's aunt in the future, or the concubine of a wealthy family. It's because of your words that all my dreams are gone."
"I wash clothes all day long, I don't have enough to eat, I don't wear warm clothes, and I have to be beaten. All of this is because of you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be living like this, and my hands wouldn't be so ulcerated?"
She showed her swollen, red and pus-filled hands to Xia Zihan.
There was no mercy in Xia Zihan's eyes.
Because this is nothing, her previous life was even more miserable than Nuan Xia's. She had lived through those hellish days for five full years, while Nuan Xia had only spent one year.
At least Nuan Xia still had a pretty face, but she was beaten and disfigured by Cao Zian just a few days after marrying into the Cao family.
Compared to her, Nuan Xia is much happier.
"Go to hell, all of you."
"Hahaha... I didn't expect a group of beggars to help me take revenge. God helps me."
"I know my end will not be good. Since you want me to die, then I want you all to be buried with me. If I die, we will all die together."
Nuan Xia suddenly went crazy, jumped up and bumped towards Xia Zihan.
