Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

Chapter 449: Concubine of Jingnan Marquis's Mansion 21

When the two children came to the old lady's yard, the old lady told them what Ding Xinhui had done with exaggeration, and the two children were stunned.

"I didn't want to tell you, so as not to pollute your ears," the old lady continued, "but Ding Xinhui is now using you two children to help her deal with Aunt Jiang. If Grandmother doesn't tell you the true face of Ding Xinhui, I don't know how Ding Xinhui will plot against you again."

"Alas!" Then the old lady sighed, "Ding Xinhui bribed the people around grandma and wanted to use grandma's hand to help her get rid of Aunt Jiang. It's fine, but she even instigated Aunt Jiang's dowry maid to climb into bed. What's even more infuriating is that she also provided cheap spices. She didn't consider your father's health at all."

"Grandmother knows that you treat Ding Xinhui as your biological mother, but she is not your biological mother after all. In short, you must be careful with her in the future and don't let her scheme against you again."

"Especially you, Rurui," the old lady looked at her granddaughter, "Do you know that you almost made a big mistake today? As a child, you shouted and called for the killing of your father's concubine. If this gets out, your reputation will be ruined."

Then the old lady was furious: "But this also indirectly shows that Ding Xinhui is a vicious woman. She doesn't treat you as her own children at all. She has always been nice to you, but she is just pretending to be a loving mother to confuse people."

"After all, if she really treated you as her own children, why would she scheme against you like this today and not consider Ru Rui's reputation at all?"

"Madame Qiu," the old lady looked at Madame Qiu, "you must go to the main courtyard right now and give that slave girl Zi Ling forty lashes. A little slave girl actually dared to help her master plot against two children. It's too easy for her to be beaten with only forty lashes."

Even an adult man might not be able to withstand forty strokes of the cane, let alone a woman. If Zi Ling were beaten with forty strokes of the cane, she would be disabled even if she didn't die.

The old lady wanted to take this opportunity to cut off Ding Xinhui's confidants and teach this cunning woman a severe lesson.

At the same time, in the main courtyard.

"Pa!" Ding Xinhui slapped Zi Ling fiercely. "Who told you to act on your own? Do you think my current situation is not difficult enough?"

"Madam," Zi Ling knelt on the ground and cried, "I just wanted to help you get rid of Aunt Jiang. Even if the Marquis blames me, it will be my responsibility alone. It can't be blamed on you, Madam. That's why I took the initiative to use the prince and the eldest lady."

"What's the difference between what you did and what I did?" Ding Xinhui was so angry that her chest heaved. "You have been serving me since you were a child, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid. You are really going to kill me."

It goes without saying that when the Marquis comes back and knows about this, he will definitely settle the score with her.

Three times the limit...

Ding Xinhui still kept the Marquis's warning in mind. She didn't dare to think about how the Marquis would deal with her.

"Zishu, you should hurry back to the Ding family and invite my mother to the Marquis of Jingnan's Mansion." Ding Xinhui looked at Zishu and said, in order to prevent the Marquis from divorcing her, only her mother could help her.

Ding Xinhui didn't dare to gamble, so no matter how much she didn't want to ask her mother for help, she had to ask Zishu to go to the Ding Mansion to ask her mother to come over, otherwise she might have to replace her as the wife of Jingnan Marquis.

"I'll go right away." Zishu hurried outside.

At this time Zi Ling finally realized that she had caused a big disaster.

Just after Zishu left for a while, Nanny Qiu came over with her people.

"Madam, the old lady has ordered that Zi Ling, the lowly maid, be beaten with forty sticks. I hope you won't stop her." Aunt Qiu said arrogantly while looking at Ding Xinhui on the bed.

"Zi Ling is my maidservant no matter what. It is not appropriate for my mother to impose such a severe punishment on my maidservant!" Ding Xinhui pretended to be calm and said:

Not to mention that Zi Ling is her confidante, Zi Ling has been serving her since she was a child. Therefore, even if Ding Xinhui is angry with Zi Ling at this moment, she can't just watch her die.

After being beaten with forty sticks, can Zi Ling survive with her small body?

"If Madam really loves her maidservant, she should discipline her maidservant properly," Aunt Qiu sneered, "instead of pretending to be nice when something goes wrong."

"Someone, come here! Drag this bitch out and give her a good beating."

Zi Ling did not resist, nor did she ask her master for help. She just kowtowed to Ding Xinhui and obediently let herself be dragged out.

Ding Xinhui clutched the quilt tightly with both hands, clenched her teeth, and tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart.

At this moment, Ding Xinhui's inner hatred reached its peak.

After being beaten with forty sticks, Zi Ling was not killed, but she was only breathing her last.

Mrs. Ding arrived at the Marquis of Jingnan's Mansion around noon.

"Mother, you must save my daughter, otherwise the Marquis will definitely not spare her."

Ding Xinhui knelt in front of Mrs. Ding, while Mrs. Ding sat there and looked at her coldly, which was totally unlike what a mother should be like.

Mrs. Ding and her husband had originally agreed to be together for life, and their relationship at the time was the envy of others.

But later, she injured her body when giving birth to her youngest daughter and could no longer have children, so her mother-in-law forced her husband to take a concubine.

There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and no one is the greatest.

Although they had a good relationship and the husband was very opposed to taking a concubine, since she was infertile, both he and she finally compromised because the world was such that they could not afford to resist.

It is also because of this that the couple treats their youngest daughter so badly.

Of course, although they did not like their youngest daughter, they never treated her badly, at least in terms of food, drink and other expenses.

At most, he gave all his love to his eldest daughter and was stingy with his fatherly and motherly love for his younger daughter.

"Tell me what's going on with Aunt Jiang," Mrs. Ding said coldly, "You can't even deal with a concubine. You are just a waste. You can't even compare with your elder sister."

Zishu did not tell Madam Ding the details. Of course, even if Zishu had explained the situation in detail, Madam Ding would definitely ask more questions and would not just listen to the maid's words.

Ding Xinhui told the story again, and then said with tears in her eyes: "It's not that my daughter is useless, but that Concubine Jiang has a face that is 70% similar to my eldest sister, and the Marquis has to favor her. How can my daughter fight with her?"

"And most importantly, my daughter suspects that Aunt Jiang is possessed by a demon and is not a human at all. How else can we explain it..."
