C1 Useless Thing!
Twenty-first year of the Heavenly Treasures, Qi Country, Luoyang City.
Just a moment ago, the sky was blue and the clouds were white, but in an instant, the wind started to howl and the thunder rumbled. It was as if a storm was coming.
In the Su Prime Minister's Mansion.
With a loud crash, a cup of green porcelain was ruthlessly thrown to the ground.
"Beat, beat him up! You have the guts to steal things!"
The woman sitting in the leader's seat glared at him with her round eyes. She was wearing a snow silk robe embroidered with golden cloud patterns and a peony-patterned thin silk robe. She was wearing a moonlight-colored flower-patterned skirt, and her hair was tied into a bun. There was a large string of pearls on her neck.
A few servants in green long robes were holding wooden sticks in their hands and waving them at the weak woman who had curled up on the ground. They did not show any mercy.
The woman would have cried out in pain and begged for mercy, but now, she could not even moan. There was a pool of blood on the ground. The woman's face was extremely ugly, especially the dark red birthmark on her right cheek that almost took up a quarter of her face. At first glance, it was extremely shocking.
"Second sister-in-law, I think it's enough to punish her. It's more or less enough."
There was a round woman sitting beside her. She was also dressed in a graceful and luxurious peony-patterned thin silk robe. She wore a moon-white flower-patterned skirt and had a spirit snake hairpin on her head. She had a peacock feather hairpin and a butterfly feather hairpin on her ears. She held a porcelain cup with plum blossom patterns on it and used the lid to wipe off the water in the tea. She took a sip and said leisurely.
Mrs. Tian glanced at Su Qi.
"We can't let this kind of bad air continue to grow. Naturally, we can't wrong Xuemei, right? You mother and daughter are already miserable enough. It's only been a few days since you came to my home, and this uneducated girl stole something. If we don't punish her properly, she won't have a good memory."
Mrs. Tian's words were piercing. She pointed out that Su Qi's mother and daughter lost their parents and came to her home, but refused to leave. She also pointed out that Su Yueru did not teach her well.
At the side, Lin Xuemei was dressed in a pink silk dress with half of her arm wrapped in clouds. She had a pair of pleated skirts with the same color. Her hair was tied into a bun, and the pink butterfly hairpin was on both sides of her head. Her eyebrows were delicate and pretty, and her neck was adorned with the Eight Treasures Exquisite Longevity Seal. At this moment, she was holding the embroidered handkerchief and wiping her eyes with it.
"Aunt, if Big Sister likes it, you can tell me. Why do you have to steal it? After all, that is the only thing my father left for Xuemei. If it was something else, Xuemei would naturally not bother with Big Sister. It's just that …"
As she spoke, Lin Xuemei started to cry again. Her watery eyes had turned into rabbit eyes, and every word she said was filled with her magnanimity. It was not that she was unwilling to give it away, but because her father had left this to her, a poor person.
"Madam, Young Miss, Young Miss is not angry anymore."
When the servant saw that the woman on the ground had stopped moving, he was afraid that someone would really die. At that time, it would be the unlucky of them all.
Mrs. Tian was stunned, and then sneered in her heart.
"If you have no more energy, then roll up the straw mat and throw it into the unmarked cemetery outside the city. When the old master comes back, tell him that he eloped with someone, do you understand?"
The few servants were stunned, and their hearts were a little timid.
"Yes... Yes..."
As she spoke, she was about to pull Su Yueru out of the blood pool.
Lin Xuemei only wanted to punish this ugly big sister, but she did not want to kill her. After all, she was still young, so she subconsciously moved closer to Su Qi.
However, before the few servants touched the person on the ground, Su Yueru, who was in the blood pool, suddenly moved and slowly sat up. Her hair was messy and stained with blood, and her forehead was covered with blood. The blood on her face flowed all over her face, and the blood on her body flowed all over her body.
Su Yueru was in a trance. When she was carrying out her mission, wasn't she blown away by a bomb? Even if she did not die from the explosion, falling from a twenty-three-story building should have been a sure death.
"Good, you actually pretended to be dead. Continue to hit her until she admits her mistake!"
Mrs. Tian was only slightly stunned. She glared at the few servants who were muttering about "pretending to be dead", and roared.
Su Yueru's head suddenly felt a pain, as if it was about to split open. Her messy memories surged into her mind, about everything about this body.
Her biological mother died from a difficult birth, her grandmother favored boys over girls, her father was a high official in the court, and the person who threatened to kill her was Mrs. Tian. The stepmother of this body was a round and slim woman, who was her aunt. Because her husband had died, she brought her daughter back to her mother's house. The thin woman standing beside her was Lin Xuemei, who had framed her and beaten her to death.
She was stunned for a moment, and her body was hit a few times. She clearly saw Lin Xuemei's lips slightly curled up as she covered her mouth with the silk handkerchief.
She didn't steal anything, so why didn't anyone believe her?
If it wasn't for her luck, occupying this body, then the owner of this body would have been wrongly accused and killed!
Don't worry, she couldn't take this grudge. In the future, this body would be hers. No matter what, she was not someone who could be bullied by others.
She reached out with her hand and grabbed a stick that was swung over by a servant. That stick was as thick as a man's wrist. The servant was stunned and wanted to pull back the wooden stick, but was glared at by Su Yueru's fierce eyes, causing his heart to tremble for no reason.
Seeing that, the other servant immediately swung his stick up. Su Yueru suddenly turned around and kicked the servant's stomach. Without leaving a trace of strength under her foot, the servant was kicked and staggered two steps back.
Su Yueru was stunned. This body was still too soft, and didn't have much strength. Otherwise, with that kick, that servant would definitely be sent flying in the air.
She snatched the wooden stick that was in her hand, and the servant was sent flying. The other two servants didn't dare to come closer.
It was just that the Mrs. Tian, who was sitting on the seat of honor, and Su Qi's mother and daughter were angered.
"She's rebellious, she's rebellious. She actually dares to retaliate. This uncultured thing!"
Mrs. Tian slammed her palm on the table, causing the cups on the table to vibrate.
"If the son doesn't teach, then the father is in the wrong. Erniang is criticizing father for not teaching well?"
Mrs. Tian was stunned. When did this girl become so eloquent?
She actually dared to contradict her!
"Eldest Sister, don't argue with Auntie anymore. Give me back the things, and we won't bother about it anymore."
Damn you, Lin Xuemei, at this time, you are still accusing me of stealing your things?
Su Yueru glanced at her, and pulled up her skirt. With a ripping sound, she pulled out a piece of cloth and tied it to her bleeding head. If she didn't stop bleeding, she would faint from excessive blood loss in a moment.
"Cousin said that I stole your things, but I don't know what I stole. I don't have any evidence, but with just your words, if I were to be beaten to death today, wouldn't that be very unjust?"
Su Yueru glared, her eyes filled with cold killing intent, scaring Lin Xuemei so much that she subconsciously shrank her neck.
