Wrong Changhuan

The maidservant in yellow moved a chair out of the house, Xie Tianshu sat down and said, "It seems that your mind is not very clear yet." She said to Nanny Li, "Then let her be sober and know that she is who."

The servant got the order, brought the wooden bucket, and poured a bucket full of cold water over Chang Huan's head.

It's late autumn now, and it's already cool in the evening.

Lin Changhuan was drenched all over, his hair was sticking wet to his forehead, water dripped down his cheeks onto his clothes, and there were water stains under his body.

Chang Huan's body trembled, but his mind was cleared by the cold water, thinking about how Xie Tianshu had offended her by giving him such a powerful blow.I thought about it all back and forth, but still couldn't figure out the reason.

Chang Huan didn't want to offend Xie Tianshu and make his task even more difficult, and he knew that throwing the bracelet was just an excuse she made, so he said weakly, "Servant, I don't know what I did wrong, please point me out."

With the help of the maid, Xie Tianshu got up from the chair, approached Chang Huan viciously and whispered in a low voice, "Don't think that you look at Third Aunt pitifully, with the expression of wishing she was your own mother, so you can hide it from me. ..Let me tell you, Lin Xiaonuan, even though your name has the word Nuan, but you are not Nuannuan, not Xie Tianqing...you are just a lowly slave..."

The cold numbs the body, but the mind is extraordinarily clear.Chang Huan heard every word and sentence in his ears.The body, which was kneeling upright, suddenly collapsed to the ground when it heard the word Nuan Nuan.

She never thought of hearing the word Nuan Nuan from anyone other than Ah Cuo, but she heard it very clearly.

Chang Huan wanted to confirm again, and said, "Nuan Nuan?... You said Nuan Nuan just now?" His eyes were full of doubts.

Xie Tianshu condescendingly tugged at Chang Huan's collar and shouted, "You're not her, no! She's already dead, you're not." After speaking, he pushed Chang Huan to the ground.

The two servants holding Chang Huan were also scared by Xie Tianshu's expression and let go of their hands.

Chang Huan put his head in his hands, lay curled up on the ground, smiled and cried aloud, and murmured, "Nuannuan...how could..."

How could Nuan Nuan be Xie Tianqing, Xie Baitang's daughter... Lin Chang's heart was ashamed, and he didn't know that fortune could be so tricky.The Nuan Nuan that Ah Cuo killed turned out to be Xie Baitang's daughter, all this was too coincidental.

But she thought of what Yang Yan once said, the battle between Xie Cunfeng and Yin Tianming, the owner of Mingyue Building, broke every muscle.Everything is so coincidental.

Why Nuannuan?Why?Why is Ah Cuo the one who killed Nuan Nuan?Her mistake!

Seeing Chang Huan's terrified expression, Xie Tianshu thought that his harsh words just now had an effect, so he sat back on the chair in satisfaction, took the teacup handed over by the maid, continued to sip the tea carefully, and gave another look, He helped Chang Huan to kneel down with the servant beside him.

Seeing Chang Huan's dull face, most of Xie Tian's scholarly anger disappeared, and he smiled and said, "Since I know I was wrong, then I will kneel here for a good night. I will be kicked out of the house early tomorrow morning." After finishing speaking, he got up and went back to the room. Before entering the door, he did not forget to say, "Kneel carefully."

Nanny Li nodded and smiled apologetically, "Miss, don't worry."

Nanny Li knew very well in her heart that there was no need to dissatisfy the eldest lady for a maid who was kicked out immediately.Then he asked a young servant to watch from the side with a thin stick, but he found a comfortable place and took a seat.

But seeing that Chang Huan was kneeling crookedly, he hit the back with a stick mercilessly.

Even with thick autumn clothes on his body, Chang Huan groaned when the stick went down.

There is no trace of scars on the outside, but it can make people feel the pain of flesh and blood. This method is often used on disobedient maids and servants in large families, and they are afraid that if the skin is broken, people will gossip when they see each other, and they will leave a hostess with mean words. Come.This is not an unusual method.

Lin Changhuan just felt confused and couldn't figure it out.

Chang Huan thought of Ah Cuo, and only Ah Cuo could give her the strength to go on at this moment.Chang Huan seemed to have forgotten the people around him, the pain in his body, and only Ah Cuo was in his mind.

That Ah Cuo who always looks cold when he sees everyone on weekdays, that Ah Cuo who also longed for freedom and wanted to spend the rest of his life and the next lifetime with him.

The Ah Cuo who smiled at himself, the Ah Cuo who hugged himself into his arms, the Ah Cuo who once kissed himself and said "I love you".

Chang Huan murmured, "Ah Cuo--"

Nanny Li heard the sound and leaned closer to Chang Huan's ear, only to hear a typo.

Nanny Li snorted and said, "Wrong? What the eldest lady said, even if it is really wrong, it is natural and right here!" After speaking, she said to the boy, "Since she doesn't know her mistake, let's hit her until she knows her mistake." .”

Chang Huan didn't know how many boards fell on his body, but felt that his whole body was numb.

Yang Yan once said that pain to the extreme is numbness; love to the extreme is forgetting oneself.

Chang Huan suddenly thought of this sentence, and smiled wryly.

Uneasy, Xie Baitang was dragged by Xie Tianshu and Cui Yanqiu to stroll around the yard, and after he didn't eat anything for lunch, he was called to the main courtyard by someone sent by the old lady.He stayed with the old lady for dinner and chatted for half a cup of tea before he left.

When he returned to the East Courtyard, Xie Baitang was full of curiosity and doubts about Lin Xiaonuan, so he hurriedly sent someone to call over all the stewards from the Outer Courtyard.

Mancang tremblingly went to see the wife in charge, tugging at his clothes from time to time, and smoothing his beard and hair, trying to make a good impression and prepare for his success in the future.

When they arrived at the west courtyard, Mancang respectfully kowtowed, but the third lady asked anxiously, "Lin Xiaonuan, who grows flowers in Xiaozhu in the outer courtyard, how much do you know?"

Mancang explained everything Hua Manzhi told him.When I walked out of the west courtyard, I was still thinking about whether I had missed something.

Xie Baitang froze in his living room, and said to Ye Rong beside him with a shocked face, "Rong'er, you can hear me clearly, he said that Lin Xiaonuan is an orphan and works in a medicine hall. Nuannuan once said that he would plant flowers and Herbs, Lin Xiaonuan also said the same thing. They even looked the same when they spoke."

After Xie Baitang said this, he wanted to get up, but he fell heavily on the seat.If it wasn't for Ye Rong's quick eyesight and hand to help her up, I'm afraid it would be painful.

With tears in his eyes, Xie Baitang murmured, "Maybe she is my Nuan Nuan and my Tian Qing."

Ye Rong worried from the side, "Ma'am, you scare me... In this world, there are many people with the same name. Not necessarily..."

Xie Baitang quickly grabbed Ye Rong's arm and said, "Where is she now? I want to see her, and I want to ask clearly."

Ye Rong just called the servant girl, but Xie Baitang stopped her and said, "I'll go in person, I'll go now."

In the residence of the servants in the outer courtyard, the maids from all the rooms went out and stood in a row outside.

Xie Baitang looked along the head, but didn't see Chang Huan, so he hurriedly asked, "Where's Lin Xiaonuan?"

When I returned to the management office of the outer court every year, I went to find Mancang, but I didn't see anyone.Now seeing the third lady come to the yard in person and asking about Xiaonuan, Niannian stepped forward even though she was timid, and blessed herself and said, "Back to the third lady, Xiaonuan was called by Miss Dongyuan in the evening. Haven't come back yet."

As soon as Xie Baitang heard this, he dragged Ye Rong to the east courtyard anxiously.

Xie Tianshu never expected that Xie Baitang would take the initiative to come to her yard, and hurried forward to salute, "Auntie—"

When Xie Baitang entered the courtyard, what he saw was Chang Huan, who was drenched all over, kneeling on the ground trembling, with a young man carrying a stick beside him.This situation made her heart ache like a knife.

Chang Huan didn't notice Xie Baitang's arrival, just like he didn't notice that Xie Tianshu wanted to drive her out of the house before.

Xie Baitang's eyes that were usually gentle towards everyone, looked at Xie Tianshu coldly at this moment, and said, "I'm looking for this girl, why are you here with Miss?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Tianshu saw that it was not his name but an honorific title, he quickly lowered his head and said nervously, "Auntie, she stole my bracelet, so she called her in and asked a few words."

Xie Baitang glanced at Xie Tianshu impatiently, and said, "Oh? Did you find it on her? Or did you find it in her residence?"

Xie Tianshu lacked confidence, and said in a low voice, "I haven't found it yet."

Xie Baitang slowly walked a few steps to Chang Huan's side, turned his head and said coldly to Xie Tianshu, "Since there is no dirt, how can we be convicted of stealing it? In our Xie family's house rules, I don't remember that there is no abuse of lynching." One thing, isn’t the precepts academy established in vain?!”

When Xie Tianshu heard that Xie Baitang showed his aura of being a family member, he was stunned for a moment, fell to his knees in fright, and hurriedly said, "Auntie, Shu'er knew it was wrong."

Seeing this, Xie Baitang said, "Since we know we're wrong, let's go to the Discipline Court to receive the punishment tomorrow morning." Looking at Chang Huan again, his voice softened, and said, "Rong'er, let me take you back to the West Court first."

After Xie Baitang finished speaking, he walked out of the courtyard.Ye Rong and a maid set up Chang Huan, and quickly followed them all the way back to Xie Baitang's residence.

As soon as he returned to the courtyard, Xie Baitang lost his composure, and in a panic, ordered the servant girl to light a brazier, prepare hot water towels, and boil ginger soup.He and Ye Rong personally brought Chang Huan back to his bedroom.

Chang Huan was wrapped in a blanket, and looked blankly at the crowd, only then came to his senses.But she found that everything was strange, and this was not the handyman's house where she lived.

A brazier was set up beside the bed and a screen was placed around it.

Xie Baitang brought a bottle of ointment for reducing swelling and blood stasis and put it beside the bed, Ye Rong also found a set of clean inner and outer clothes.

Xie Baitang carefully took off the blanket from Chang Huan's body, and said softly, "Take off your wet clothes, or you will catch a cold."

Chang Huan looked at her, full of guilt and emotions, but suddenly didn't know what to say, didn't dare to look at her again, just bowed his head and said, "Ma'am, I will do it myself."

Xie Baitang thought Chang Huan was shy, and said to the maids in the house, "You all go out and close the door."

Only Chang Huan, Ye Rong and Xie Baitang were left in the house.

Chang Huan said lightly, "Madam, please turn around too."

Xie Baitang didn't say anything, just turned his back silently and stopped looking at her.
