Chapter 86: It's obvious that he's been beaten
She turned her head with a stiff neck.
When she saw who it was, her heart almost stopped.
It turned out to be Consort De...
Defei looked at Jiang Qilu's red and swollen face and couldn't help feeling distressed.
She likes Jiang Qilu very much.
In all these years, she had never met a woman who played polo so well.
Defei's eyes swept across the faces of the two people.
He said in a cold voice: "You two come with me to see the Empress Chen."
Soon the three of them reached the platform.
Concubine De told Concubine Chen the whole story.
After hearing this, Concubine Chen showed an expression of disbelief.
She always thought Jiang Shuyu was a gentle and quiet woman.
I never expected that she would actually hit someone!
Shangguan Sui was listening at the side and couldn't help but complain in his heart.
[Hehe, I can’t pretend anymore~]
[Eh? Isn't this the sister who was playing polo so well on the polo field just now? ]
The Concubine looked at Jiang Qilu and asked, "I have never seen you before. What is your name?"
Jiang Qilu's cheeks were red and swollen, which were particularly conspicuous on her fair face.
"My name is Jiang Qilu, and I am the third daughter of the Duke of Song's mansion."
Shangguan Sui's eyebrows twitched slightly.
[Jiang Qilu... this name sounds familiar. ]
【Oh! I remember now! 】
[In the original book, Jiang Qilu married a scholar who had passed the imperial examination, but died shortly after the marriage. After the coroner performed an autopsy, he found that her body was covered with whip wounds...]
[At this time, Jiang Qilu's maid told the truth. It turned out that all these injuries were caused by her elder sister Jiang Shuyu! ]
[Jiang Shuyu had always been jealous of Jiang Qilu's beauty, and when she was at home, she often found various reasons to beat her.]
[Jiang Qilu married a good man and lived a happy life, which made Jiang Shuyu hate her even more. She accidentally beat Jiang Qilu to death.]
After hearing Shangguan Sui's inner voice, Concubine Chen and Lou Changqing couldn't help showing expressions of shock.
He was so vicious and cruel that he could beat someone to death...
The expression on Concubine Chen's face when she looked at Jiang Shuyu had completely turned into disgust.
She was so blind before that she actually thought she was a gentle and virtuous woman!
How cruel!
Shangguan Sui looked at Jiang Qilu's red and swollen cheeks and couldn't help but sigh.
[It is estimated that Jiang Qilu played polo too well, which aroused Jiang Shuyu's jealousy. Jiang Shuyu couldn't control her temper and slapped her directly. ]
[It's really pitiful. I don't know how much suffering she has endured in the family...]
When Concubine Chen looked at Jiang Qilu, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
"Help Miss Jiang San up quickly and bring some ointment."
Qingping nodded and hurried to get the ointment.
When the Concubine Chen's eyes fell on Jiang Shuyu, they immediately turned a little colder.
Jiang Shuyu knelt on the ground, her body trembling uncontrollably.
It's over. It's really over this time...
The Concubine Chen's voice was icy.
"Ms. Jiang, I don't know what kind of grudge you have with Miss Jiang San that would make you do such a heavy thing?"
"If it wasn't for the fact that Concubine De saw you, would you have planned to beat Miss Jiang San to death today?!"
Jiang Shuyu's back was stiff and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
She stammered, "I dare not...I dare not..."
De Fei snorted coldly, "Why are you so afraid? That slap was very skillful, and you can tell at a glance that he hit her a lot."
Jiang Shuyu was so frightened that she trembled.
He kowtowed immediately and said, "This time it was only because Jiang Qilu offended me and was disrespectful to me that I got angry and hit her!"
"I really didn't mean it. Please forgive me this time."
[Tsk, you’re still pretending!]
[I don’t believe you didn’t do it on purpose! ]
The Concubine Chen didn't want to listen to her excuses, so she turned her gaze to Jiang Qilu.
At this time, Jiang Qilu had already applied the ointment, and the redness and swelling on her face had faded a little, but it was still very scary at a glance.
"Miss Jiang San, please tell me what happened?"
Jiang Qilu stood up from his chair and bowed slightly.
She suddenly felt a cold gaze coming from behind her.
Jiang Qilu's back felt cold and the whip wounds on his body began to ache again.
When Shangguan Sui saw this, his delicate and pretty face was full of dissatisfaction.
[Wow! Jiang Shuyu actually dared to glare at Jiang Qilu! She even dared to threaten her in front of my mother!]
[It can be seen how much Jiang Shuyu bullied Jiang Qilu in private. ]
When the Concubine Chen heard what was going on, her brows furrowed.
"Miss Jiang San, don't be afraid. Just say whatever you want to say. I will make the decision for you."
Jiang Qilu's long eyelashes drooped slightly, and she couldn't help but speak out when she thought of the frustrating and painful days she had experienced over the years.
"Things are not as Jiang Shuyu said!"
"Not long after I entered the tent, Jiang Shuyu rushed in and slapped me in the face."
"This is not the first time. Every time Jiang Shuyu has something wrong, she will take it out on me!"
As he spoke, Jiang Qilu lifted up his sleeves.
All I could see was a series of crisscrossing whip marks on her fair skin, some deep and some shallow...
Some have scabs, and some still have bloodstains.
[Oh my god, this must hurt so much...]
[Miss Jiang San is so pitiful...]
Chen Fei suddenly found it difficult to breathe.
I just heard what Shunshun was thinking, and I was actually already prepared in my heart.
But when she actually saw Jiang Qilu's wound, she couldn't help but gasp.
Jiang Shuyu is really too cruel...
Concubine De was even more furious. She glared at Jiang Shuyu coldly and shouted angrily, "What else do you have to say?!"
Jiang Shuyu couldn't utter a word at this moment.
I could only lie on the ground, trembling and crying.
The Concubine Chen said coldly: "Jiang Shuyu, the daughter of Duke Song, treated her concubine's younger sister harshly and had evil intentions. She will be taken away and severely beaten with fifty sticks, and she will be confined for half a year to reflect on her mistakes!"
Defei pointed at Jiang Shuyu and continued in a cold voice.
"I tell you, I will play polo with Jiang Qilu every month from now on. If I find out that you continue to secretly bully her, I will not forgive you!"
Jiang Shuyu cried until her eyes were red and swollen, tears fell in big drops, and she cried uncontrollably.
He was dragged away in front of everyone.
Shangguan Sui looked at Jiang Shuyu's back and waved his fist angrily.
[She deserves it! This woman is so evil! ]
Shangguan Sui reached out and helped Jiang Qilu, who was kneeling on the ground, up.
"Hurry up, Sister Jiang."
[Sister Jiang is so pitiful. I feel so sorry for her.]
Concubine De reached out and took out her jade token and handed it to Jiang Qilu.
"If she bullies you again in the future, just bring the jade token into the palace and I will help you vent your anger!"
Jiang Qilu's eyes turned red with emotion.
With tears in her eyes, she thanked: "Thank you, Madam Defei, thank you, the Fifth Princess, thank you, Madam Chenfei... I am really grateful..."
