Taohong kowtowed to thank her, then was pulled out and slapped outside the door.

Snapped--

"Ah!" Taohong screamed in pain, and the next second she heard the sound of being slapped. After the next four boards, Taohong's screams were not heard again.

Mrs. Zhou's personal maid glanced at Xu Ying before entering the room and replied in a normal voice: "Madam, Taohong has fainted."

Mrs. Zhou looked at Xu Ying with a smile: "Mother Ying, have you lost your anger?"

Xu Ying couldn't use accurate adjectives to express her inner fear. Mrs. Zhou smiled so amiably, gentle and harmless, but she couldn't forget the look of Mrs. Zhou ordering Tao Hong to be killed.

Taohong is a living person who can cry, laugh and serve others. She is not raised specifically to kill pigs, ducks, chickens, cattle and sheep for meat!

Mrs. Zhou asked again, but the difference was that there was no smile on her face: "Ms. Ying, have you calmed down?"

Xu Ying got the courage from nowhere, raised her head and met Mrs. Zhou's eyes. She did not see the murderous intention against her in Mrs. Zhou's eyes. The death crisis was lifted, and the deepest fear was resolved.

Xu Ying was blessed and replied in a gentle voice: "Mother, Ying's anger has dissipated."

"Our Yingniang is so generous."

Mrs. Zhou smiled again, not the smile that made Xu Ying's hair stand on end before, but the happy smile of a normal elder towards a junior.

Xu Ying's uneasy heart was soothed by this compliment. Her head was empty and her eyes were staring at Mrs. Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou took two steps forward and looked at Xu Ying condescendingly: "Mrs. Ying, you are the eldest mistress of the Zhou family. You are not a noble person who can be offended by cats and dogs. If any servants disrespect you again, you will kill them directly.

That’s it. "

Xu Ying thought for no reason that the look in Xu Ning's eyes that advised her not to jump into the fire pit was in sharp contrast with the look in Mrs. Zhou's eyes that was about to kill the servant. She was stunned for a moment and nodded mechanically.

Mrs. Zhou took the opportunity to reprimand Xu Ying, ordered her servants to give her soothing tea in front of Xu Ying, and left with big steps.

Xu Yinggong sent Mrs. Zhou off, and soon a familiar maid came over with a food box, "My eldest mistress, my servant Hongying would like to say hello to my eldest mistress."

Xu Ying recalled that Hongying was present during the few meetings she had with Master Zhou, and asked Hongying: "Are you the maid serving in Master Zhou's study?"

Hongying answered respectfully and calmly: "Back to the eldest mistress, I am the eldest master's maid who studies ink. The old lady ordered me to serve the eldest mistress."

Xu Ying looked at the respectful and polite Hongying, and the words of Song Matchmaker rang in her ears: "Blessed people will never end up in unlucky places." Compared with Xu Ning, who was born with good fortune, she was an unlucky person.

Thinking of this, Xu Ying twitched her lips and decided Taohong's life or death in one sentence: "When Taohong recovers from her injuries, you go back to the study to serve the eldest young master."

Hongying looked slightly sideways, "Yes, the eldest young lady."

She originally thought that Taohong would die, but unexpectedly, something happened at the critical moment. Xu Ying saved Taohong's life intentionally or unintentionally.

After burning the incense, Hongying knelt at Mrs. Zhou's feet and relayed Xu Ying's words.

Mrs. Zhou gave an unclear laugh and drank the tea in her cup. "If the young lady wants to protect Taohong, then let Taohong take good care of her."

Listening to these hypocritical words, Hongying felt no emotion at all. She had seen too many dirty things and had already seen clearly the ugly face of the head of the Zhou family.

.

Sure enough, Mrs. Zhou's next words cut off Taohong's hopes: "Taohong's wife is sent to the farm to serve the eldest young master."

Hongying obeyed the order and retreated. After exiting Mrs. Zhou's yard, she looked up at the sky. The gray sky was like a prison from which she could not escape.

Everyone has his or her own destiny, and the fate that God has arranged for her is so bad that she can only live an ignoble existence. If she can live one more day, she will earn one more day.

Xu Ying received two major shocks in less than an hour. One was when her uncle Lu Ba confessed to her about being forced by Master Zhou, and the second was when Mrs. Zhou casually killed Tao Hong.

Growing up in a remote and peaceful mountain village, Xu Ying had never seen such a battle. She was so frightened that her head was empty, confused, and she lost the ability to think. She simply lay down on the bed and slept with her head covered.

In the dream, Xu Ying's head connected all the information she received on its own, creating drama after drama for her. The information sorted out stimulated her brain activity to be overactive, and she was trapped in the nightmare and struggled to survive.

Hongying came back from Mrs. Zhou's yard and heard strange noises coming from the house. She thought it was Master Zhou who had returned. After asking the guard, she found out that the fact was not what she had guessed. Xu Ying was the only one in the house.

Hongying stood hesitantly outside the house. She didn't want to get involved with Xu Ying, the second most troublesome person in Zhou's family, but she also knew that it was Xu Ying's most vulnerable period. If she wanted to gain Xu Ying's trust, she would have to do this. is the best opportunity.

After much hesitation, Hongying finally pushed open the closed door, walked step by step towards Xu Ying who was trapped in the nightmare, and gently shook her awake: "Madam, please wake up quickly."

Xu Ying was shocked from her nightmare

When she woke up, she couldn't help but burst into tears. She hugged Hongying tightly regardless, crying hysterically.

Hongying's whole body stiffened and she allowed Xu Ying to hold her, her eyes looking at the blue brick wall blankly, her head empty.

Mrs. Zhou ordered people to pay close attention to Xu Ying's every move. She seriously suspected that Xu Ying learned about Master Zhou's scandal from Lu Ba's mouth, but she had not yet decided whether to let Xu Ying die of a sudden illness.

Mrs. Zhou didn't make up her mind, so she sent someone to call Landlord Zhou back: "Master, do you want to keep Xu Ying? Or let her die of illness?"

Landlord Zhou thought of Lu Ba who was scared to death in front of him, and said with disdain: "You are a coward, Xu Ying has no guts to go against us."

Mrs. Zhou didn't want to take risks, so she added, "Sir, if there is no Xu Ying, there are still hundreds of Xu Yings waiting for my son to choose."

After dismissing his servants, Landlord Zhou told the truth: "There are hundreds or even thousands of Xu Yings, but there is only one Huo Yunchao."

As soon as Mrs. Zhou heard the name Huo Yunchao, she began to feel angry. A poor scholar who had no reputation as a scholar actually took away the wife that her eldest son was looking forward to!

"What's so great about Huo Yunchao? Didn't he just make a wheelbarrow and a threshing machine? What's so difficult about it? We can just find a few carpenters in our family to make them."

Landlord Zhou said sternly: "Huo Yunchao, whom you despise in every possible way, wants to openly make bamboo paper!"

Mrs. Zhou seemed to have heard a big joke. She slapped the table and laughed wildly: "What? Huo Yunchao wants to make paper? Hahaha, just him?"

"Yes, just because he is Huo Yunchao!"

Landlord Zhou looked serious and successfully made Mrs. Zhou stop laughing with just one sentence: "Master, don't tell me, Master.

Give orders to Huo Yunchao..."

Landlord Zhou nodded and replied word for word: "Master just said, God's will cannot be violated."

Mrs. Zhou stopped completely.

The last time I heard the phrase "God's will cannot be violated" was when Mrs. Zhou noticed her eldest son's sexual orientation and ran to the master for help.
