Chapter 131: Unspeakable Anger
Xie Yingmian frowned.
The yard was filled with leftover bones and fruits.
Fortunately, it is winter now, so the smell is unpleasant, but not to the point of stinking.
"auspicious."
"Are you there, Jixiang?"
Xie Yingmian stood at the door and called out a few times, but there was no sign of Jixiang.
She suppressed her nausea and went into the house to look for it.
The yard is small and the room is also small.
There was almost nothing in the room, and it was completely empty. There was no auspicious sign inside or outside.
Wen Juexia asked, "Could it have gone out to look for food or has it already left?"
Xie Yingmian frowned slightly.
Something is not right.
Jixiang is very human.
When the original owner first came to the Xie family, the maids in the Xie family saw that the original owner was not taken seriously, so they secretly came to drink and gamble many times during their night shifts, making the yard and house a mess.
The original owner was timid and didn't dare to speak frankly.
It was Jixiang who ferociously scared the old women away.
Every time those old women came, Jixiang bit her, each time more ferociously than the last. Later, those old women didn't dare to come anymore.
Now, the yard is filled with garbage such as bones and fruit peels again.
This means that the old women are back again.
Judging from the size of the garbage dump, the old women have been back for more than a day or two.
A trace of uneasiness flashed through Xie Yingmian's heart.
She brought Wen Juexia to the backyard.
The maids and servants in the backyard were busy.
Relying on the original owner's memory, Xie Yingmian found an old woman who often went to the courtyard to gamble.
“Where is Jixiang?”
The old woman was busy when she was suddenly pulled by a woman in expensive clothes. She subconsciously knelt down to pay her respects.
After hearing the question,
She was stunned for a moment, then after seeing Xie Yingmian's face clearly, she said with a smile:
"Oh, who am I thinking?"
"It turns out that the eldest lady is back."
"I almost don't recognize you when you put on this dress, Miss."
"As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. This expensive dress looks quite real on the young lady."
"I have never seen such good material. I will touch it. Miss, you won't mind, right?" The old woman said with a smile, and was about to pull Xie Yingmian's sleeve.
Bang!
Wen Juexia kicked the old woman out.
"Who are you? You didn't even show respect to the princess, and you dared to pull her clothes?"
The old woman was kicked in the heart and cried out in pain.
In her impression,
Xie Yingmian is still the same timid and cowardly village girl who can't even say a word even if beaten with three sticks.
It's just that my life is better.
She was originally destined to be buried with Prince Ling, but because Prince Ling woke up, she became Prince Ling's concubine.
She didn't take Xie Yingmian seriously.
While rubbing his chest, he said sarcastically: "If you don't allow me to touch you, then don't allow me to touch you. Why are you hitting me?"
"Even if this person becomes a noble by chance, he can't hide his petty nature."
Wen Juexia has a bad temper.
After hearing this, he was about to go up and beat the guy up.
"Xia Xia, business is more important."
Xie Yingmian looked at the old woman coldly: "You go to that yard almost every day to drink and gamble. Jixiang knows you, and I know you too."
"I'll ask you one last time, where is Jixiang?"
The old woman originally wanted to take Qiao Yinyang.
Hearing Xie Yingmian's murderous words, he shuddered inexplicably.
A natural feeling of oppression came over me.
Under this feeling of oppression, the old woman no longer dared to speak Yin Yang's words.
The old woman didn't dare to be sarcastic, but she didn't want to tell the truth either: "I don't know where it is."
"Isn't it just a stray dog? Since you're not in the house, it should continue to wander around."
Xie Yingmian took a few steps back: "Xia Xia, slap her."
Wen Juexia had long disliked this old woman.
Who dares to be sarcastic to Sister Mianmian!
She grabbed the old woman's hair and slapped her down.
Wen Juexia practices martial arts and has great strength.
The old woman's head was soon buzzing from the beating.
Xie Yingmian didn't call for a stop, so Wen Juexia continued to fight.
The old woman finally realized what Xie Yingmian meant by "I'll only ask you one last time."
If she doesn't say it, the slapping will not stop.
After her loose teeth were knocked out, the old woman's mouth was full of blood.
The more Wen Juexia was beaten, the more teeth she lost.
"My, my." The old woman couldn't stand it any longer. "I'll tell you everything."
Wen Juexia then stopped.
Xie Yingmian's voice seemed to come from the underworld, filled with cold murderous intent: "I don't have much patience. If you continue to talk nonsense, you will bear the consequences at your own risk."
The old woman spat out the blood from her mouth.
She changed her attitude and knelt down on the ground obediently: "Jixiang hasn't been back for about ten days."
"As for where it went, I really don't know."
"Xia Xia, keep on slapping me." Xie Yingmian said, "Don't hold back. If you kill me, I'll take responsibility."
"Okay." Wen Juexia rolled up his sleeves.
The old woman was shocked: "You can't beat me to death, I am from the Xie Mansion."
Xie Yingmian sneered: "Your indenture is a death contract. Your life and death are in the hands of your master. Do you think the Xie family will hold me accountable for the death of an unknown woman?"
The old woman suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
She was just an insignificant old woman.
There are many servants like her in the Xie family.
The eldest lady is already Princess Ling and belongs to Prince Ling's Mansion.
Even if the Xie family looked down on the eldest daughter, they would not make a big deal out of this matter.
In other words, her death was in vain.
The old woman finally felt afraid.
She crawled on the ground, her plump body trembling constantly: "I...old slave, I didn't lie."
"I really don't know where Jixiang has gone."
"But, but..."
"You should have seen the Fourth Master, the one who raised two big wolfhounds. He likes game and often takes his wolfhounds to hunt in the suburbs."
"About ten days ago, I heard that the Fourth Master's wolfhound caught a little white dog and had the kitchen slaughter and braise it."
"I heard the description from the kitchen maid. It looks a bit like your dog. That dog has never been back since that day."
"You, do you want to go to the kitchen and ask?"
Xie Yingmian's face changed and she immediately turned around and went to the kitchen.
As soon as she entered the kitchen yard, her eyes fell on a piece of leather hanging at the kitchen door.
The leather was pure white.
There are a few tufts of black hair on the pure white fur.
Those clusters of black hair formed the Chinese character "吉" (good luck).
Xie Yingmian's face turned extremely ugly.
The reason why Jixiang is called Jixiang is because Jixiang is snow-white except for a black loop of fur in the shape of the Chinese character "吉" (good luck) near its neck.
There may not be another dog in the world with such characteristics.
The clever little dog named Jixiang was actually killed and eaten.
The meat was braised.
The furs were hung from the eaves.
Xie Yingmian couldn't describe how angry he felt right now.
When the original owner was thrown onto the farm, he was too young and had no memory of his biological parents.
She depends on her wet nurse for survival.
With the care of a wet nurse, she could barely eat and keep warm.
After her wet nurse died, she became an orphan with no one to rely on.
Jixiang was a stray dog that came from nowhere. He was so hungry that his leg was broken while he was stealing food.
The original owner found it dying.
Bandage it, apply medicine to it, and save it.
From then on, the helpless orphan girl and the helpless stray dog depended on each other for survival.
