The maids all knew that Huamei was beaten so badly probably because the master wanted to teach the young lady a lesson and was killing the chicken to scare the monkeys.
Huamei was the young lady's most trusted maidservant. Even when the situation had come to this point, the young lady still refused to admit her mistake to the master and save Huamei's life. The maids in the house who had served Yang Jiyan for many years couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
A shrill scream came from the yard. Yang Jiyan's face turned pale. Yang Yuanchen slowed down his voice and said, "Sister Yan, do you know that if you continue to beat her, the maid will die?"
Although Yang Jiyan was reborn, she had never experienced anything like this before. She couldn't stop shaking all over and said in a state of collapse, "Daddy, don't force me. I really don't know anything..."
Huamei in the yard seemed to have heard her voice, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, she said weakly, "Master, I'll tell you... I'll tell you everything... It was the young lady who asked me to tell you... to let Xiaodie lead Miss Yu and her sister to the West Garden..."
As soon as she said this, Huamei's head drooped, and she was actually cut off from breathing.
The servant frowned, used his finger to feel her breath, and went into the room and said, "Master, the maid is dead."
Yang Jiyan opened her eyes wide in horror and looked outside the house in disbelief.
Yang Yuanchen pulled her up from the ground and dragged her out of the house.
Yang Jiyan was pulled so hard that she staggered and was almost dragged out of the house.
Madam Yang quickly followed, feeling distressed and helpless.
Yang Yuanchen pulled Yang Jiyan all the way to the dead Huamei before letting go. Yang Jiyan didn't dare to look at Huamei's body and fell to the ground.
Yang Yuanchen forced her to watch Huamei being beaten to a bloody mess, "Sister Yan, you really disappoint me! Daddy has never punished you since you were a child, not even scolded you loudly."
Yang Jiyan's lips were trembling from crying. She looked at Huamei's bloody body in horror and fear, and closed her eyes helplessly.
Yang Yuanchen felt pity for her when he saw her frightened look on her face, but now that things had come to this, he had to make sure Yan Jieer knew she was wrong.
He said, "Of your two maids, one died because of you, and the other was crippled and locked up in the woodshed. Yan Jie'er, a girl doesn't have to be gentle, virtuous, dignified and polite, but she has to be kind. Your mother is so kind-hearted, how come you are not like her at all?"
After listening to this for a long time, Madam Yang had guessed the reason why Yang Yuanchen was so angry. She squatted down and wiped the tears from Yang Jiyan's face with a handkerchief, pleading, "Sister Yan, if you do something wrong, we must admit it. If you admit your mistakes and correct them, you are still a good girl. Your father loves you deeply and criticizes you severely. Don't blame him in your heart."
Yang Jiyan finally couldn't hold on any longer and threw herself into Madam Yang's arms, crying bitterly, "Daddy, Mommy, I know I was wrong, I did something wrong!"
She choked up and said, "My daughter originally looked down on the two country swindlers from the Yu family. She felt that they were not female doctors at all and were just here to cheat, so she deliberately let Xiaodie lead them to the West Garden. I had no bad intentions. I just wanted to play a trick on them. I thought that if they went to the West Garden, they would be scolded and chased out of the house by father! My daughter didn't mean to hurt anyone, really didn't mean to hurt anyone..."
In fact, in her previous life, Yang Jiyan had sneaked into West Garden out of curiosity and met Xiao Ning who lived in West Garden. Later, as her father was promoted to move to the capital, she gradually learned that the person her father had taken in to live in West Garden was none other than Xiao Ning, the wanted criminal wanted by the emperor.
When she asked the maid to lead Yu Jiao and the other person to the West Garden, she knew that if Yu Jiao and the other person accidentally ran into Xiao Ning, they would be killed.
At this moment, Yang Yuanchen and his wife believed what Yang Jiyan said, thinking that she was simple-minded and shallow. They did not think deeply about it and were just acting like a spoiled brat. It was an unintentional mistake that almost caused a disaster.
Seeing that her lips had turned purple from crying, Yang Yuanchen sighed, stroked her head and said, "If you had told me earlier, Daddy wouldn't have ordered people to beat your personal maid to death."
Madam Yang saw her daughter lying in her arms, crying out of breath, so she patted her back and said to Yang Yuanchen, "Master, please stop talking. I'm afraid Sister Yan is frightened by you."
Yang Yuanchen also felt that what he had done today was a bit too much. He took back his hand, and his voice became softer, and he said with pity, "Sister Yan, Daddy was also angry at the moment. Even if you don't like Miss Yu and her sister, you shouldn't let anyone lead them to the West Garden. Forget it, you don't know the inside story of the West Garden, so let it go. In the future, don't make Miss angry again and do such nonsense."
Yang Jiyan sobbed and said, "My daughter knows she was wrong. She will never...never dare to do it again. Please forgive her this time, Daddy."
Seeing her frightened and pitiful expression, her face was weak and bloodless, as if she was about to cry to death, Yang Yuanchen felt even softer in his heart, and said softly to Madam Yang, "Take Yan Jie'er to her room and comfort her."
Madam Yang coaxed her in a gentle voice, "Sister Yan, your father doesn't blame you anymore. Come with your mother to your room to wash up. It won't look good if a girl cries too much."
Yang Jiyan obediently let her mother lead her to the room.
Yang Yuanchen ordered the servant to drag Huamei's body away and deal with it, and told the maid in the yard to clean up the blood before leaving.
Yu Jiao and Yu Fuling, who left with Madam Mu San, sat in the Mu family's carriage. Yu Fuling finally relaxed and huddled in a corner listlessly.
Previously, she was kicked by Gu Yun, and that kick hit her stomach. At first, she was so scared that she even forgot the pain. Now that she was out of danger, the pain was unbearable. Yu Fuling was rocked by the carriage and even felt like vomiting.
Yu Jiao saw her pale face and her hands covering her abdomen. She looked carefully and saw cold sweat on Yu Fuling's forehead. She felt Yu Fuling's pulse and said to Madam Mu, "Madam Mu, is there a clinic or medicine shop nearby? I need to buy some herbs."
Madam Mu San hurriedly said, "Yes, I'll have someone take it over right away."
She lifted the curtain and gave some instructions to the servant outside. Then she turned around and saw Yu Jiao undressing Yu Fuling. She was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, "What happened to Miss Fuling?"
Yu Fuling curled up in pain, and Yu Jiao was ripping her clothes off, and she had no strength to stop her.
Yu Jiao opened her abdomen and saw a large purple area. Anger rose in her eyes. That damned Young Marquis Gu's kick was too heavy. Moreover, he was a masculine young man who practiced martial arts, so the strength of that kick was extraordinary.
Yu Jiao raised her finger and lightly pressed the purple spot on Yu Fuling's belly, and Yu Fuling instantly gasped in pain.
Yu Jiao loosened her grip and asked softly, "How does it hurt? Tell me about it."
"It just hurts a lot, I can't explain it." Yu Fuling said while breathing slowly.
"Are you thirsty?" Yu Jiao asked with concern, fearing that her internal organs would be ruptured and bleeding from the kick.
Yu Fuling shook her head.
