Chapter 17: Brainless Idiot
Hongyao's head was buzzing from being slapped.
It took a while to return to normal.
Her eyes widened, and she was furious: "You country girl, how dare you hit me."
"A peasant from a farm really thinks she's a young lady?"
"You ruined my future, so I'm going to kill you, you bitch."
Hong Yao clawed at Xie Yingmian like a madman.
Xie Yingmian looked at Hong Yao as if she were an ant.
A mere stink bug trying to kill her?
Don't overestimate your abilities.
Xie Yingmian kicked Hongyao in the chest.
The kick was so powerful that Hong Yao was kicked away and only stopped when she hit the corner of the table.
The sharp corner of the table hurt Hongyao.
Hong Yao's internal organs were severely damaged, and she vomited blood under the attack from both sides.
"Bitch, bitch."
Hongyao's mouth was full of blood, but she was still cursing.
"What kind of young lady are you?"
"You are just a worthless slut, a country girl, a dirt-legged peasant."
"If you dare to hit me, I'll fight you!"
Without waiting for Hongyao to get up.
Xie Yingmian kicked her face to the ground.
"Even if I'm not a young lady, it doesn't change the fact that you're a lowly servant."
"You just slept with an old man who had one foot in his coffin for a few nights, and you think you're the boss?"
Hongyao was touched in a sore spot.
Her life goal was to get rid of her status as a lowly maid and become a glamorous concubine.
It's about to succeed.
But she was chosen to be a maid in the dowry.
Everyone knew that Prince Ling was going to die.
When Prince Ling died, all of them were buried with him and had to die.
She was clearly only one step away from becoming a concubine.
She was just one step away from escaping her status as a lowly maid and becoming a master.
Everything was ruined by Xie Yingmian.
Hongyao's face was grim: "You are the lowly slave."
"The Marquis has promised to make me his concubine. He has already said it and even picked the date."
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault. I have no grudge against you, why did you choose me as your dowry?"
"You've ruined my life."
"God is watching what you do, and you will be punished."
Xie Yingmian didn't want to waste time talking to a fool.
But, seeing Hongyao's crazy look,
She felt that if she didn't solve this problem today, there would be endless troubles.
Let’s leave this kind of trouble to Lord Xie and his wife.
"Do you think the mistress of the Xie family really lets me choose my dowry?" Xie Yingmian's voice was cold.
"You can't even figure out who schemed against you, and yet you're embarrassing yourself here."
"Get out!" Xie Yingmian kicked Hong Yao aside.
Hongyao was in excruciating pain.
She wanted to get up.
As soon as I struggled, my chest and back hurt so much that I could only lie on the ground.
Under the control of pain, Hongyao's mind became a little clearer.
Thinking of what Xie Yingmian said.
A thought flashed through Hongyao's mind.
"What did you mean by those words?"
"Could it be, could it be the Marquis' wife..."
Xie Yingmian sneered: "Thinking it through? Not too stupid."
Hongyao's face turned pale.
She shook her head violently: "Impossible!"
"Impossible."
"The Marquis's wife has praised me many times, saying that I am young and serve the Marquis well."
"She agreed to make me a concubine, and she also gave me a gold bracelet as a concubine's gift, so that I could have children for the Marquis as soon as possible."
"How could she possibly harm me..."
"Is it the bracelet on your hand?" Xie Yingmian looked at the gold bracelet on Hongyao's wrist and said sarcastically.
"The gold bracelet was soaked in the poison for at least a month."
"If you wear it frequently, the poison will slowly seep into your body."
"Don't even think about getting pregnant, you can't even save your life."
"In less than a year, you will die quietly."
Hongyao was stunned.
Is the gold bracelet poisonous?
She suddenly remembered that after wearing the gold bracelet, she always felt drowsy and lazy.
At first she thought she was pregnant.
After seeing the doctor and taking her pulse, the doctor said she was not pregnant and might have caught a cold.
She took a lot of medicine, but it didn't work and her condition got worse.
It turned out that he was poisoned!
Xie Yingmian continued, "Since you are Marquis Xie's chambermaid, if the Marquis's wife wants to touch you, she must report it to Marquis Xie."
"Do you think you could become my dowry maid if Lord Xie hadn't agreed?"
"You're a brainless idiot. You were sold out and you're still counting money."
Hongyao's defense was completely broken.
She desperately took off the gold bracelet and threw it away, then curled up on the ground and sobbed softly.
Xie Yingmian ignored Hong Yao.
She walked over to the main seat and sat down.
The remaining three maids seemed frightened by Xie Yingmian's wrist.
They didn't dare to act rashly and stood aside obediently.
Xie Yingmian took a glance.
Among the remaining three maids.
A thin man, hesitant and huddled in a corner with his head lowered.
A burly and honest man.
Seeing Xie Yingmian's eyes lingering on her, the honest maid raised her head and grinned embarrassedly.
And one more...
Xie Yingmian's gaze fell on the last maid.
The last maid was very beautiful.
Her beauty is different from Hongyao's beauty.
Hongyao is charming and seductive.
This maid is dignified and generous, with extraordinary bearing.
Unfortunately, there are two scars on his face that run from the corners of his mouth to the corners of his eyes.
The two scars are still in the proliferative stage, protruding with hideous blood color, and look very creepy at first glance.
Xie Yingmian saw it clearly.
When Hongyao rushed up to hit her, the three girls wanted to rush up and hold Hongyao back.
It's just that she acted faster, so they were useless.
These three girls have good character, so she might consider keeping them.
"You, come here." Xie Yingmian said to the dignified maid.
The dignified maid didn't react and just stood there blankly.
"Don't shout, she's mute," said the simple-minded maid. "She can't speak, and there seems to be something wrong with her brain."
"Oh? How much do you know about her?" Xie Yingmian asked.
The honest maid scratched her head and said, "Not too much."
"I knew she came to the palace half a year ago."
"I heard that she was originally going to be sold to a brothel, but the eldest son took a fancy to her and snatched her away."
"The eldest son saw that she was beautiful and wanted to possess her."
"She resisted fiercely, injured the eldest son, and scratched her own face."
"The eldest master was furious and demoted her to a servant girl, doing only dirty and rough work."
"Later, you chose her as your dowry girl."
Xie Yingmian raised his eyebrows.
I can't tell.
This seemingly innocent girl is actually a know-it-all.
I didn't ask any more questions about the little mute.
She surveyed the crowd.
"I have something to tell you."
"I know you didn't come here voluntarily, so I'm giving you a choice."
"If you don't want to serve me, I will let you go back."
"If you want to stay, I welcome you."
"But you have to think carefully. If you stay, you must be loyal to me and only recognize me as your master."
"I discovered that one of you betrayed me..."
Xie Yingmian showed a sinister smile: "I will definitely make her regret coming into this world."
The honest maid was the first to express her opinion: "I am willing to follow the princess."
"It doesn't matter if I'm buried with you. I'll be a good man again in eighteen years."
The timid maid also expressed her opinion.
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito: "I dare not betray the princess, please keep me."
Xie Yingmian passed Hong Yao and looked at the little mute.
