Chapter 323
Even though Jixiang was Yunxi's servant, when the young mistress gave the order, Pearl brought many old women over and still dragged Jixiang over directly.
"You're a slut too!"
As soon as Yun Wan finished speaking, she threw a teacup at Jixiang, which hit Jixiang squarely in the chest. Jixiang's face turned pale, but she still managed to keep herself kneeling.
Although she was kneeling, her back was ramrod straight.
"I have treated you well, why did you betray me!"
Yun Wan asked Jixiang to keep an eye on Ji Baiju's actions, since she had been paid money! Even though she wasn't as well-off as before, she had never withheld any money from Jixiang!
But to my surprise, after all that money was spent, this bastard dared to betray me at the crucial moment!
Hearing Yun Wan's words, Ji Xiang's eyes were full of sarcasm.
betray?
Yun Wan is not her master, so how can she be accused of betrayal?
Besides, Yunxi cured her mother's illness, and she was never short of good food and drink. Whenever she was rewarded, it was at least ten taels of silver. What about Yunwan? She only gave her three or five taels of silver each time. How was that any different from giving money to a beggar?
Seeing that Jixiang remained silent, Yunwan's anger burned even more fiercely: "You've really grown up, you don't even care about your own mother who gave birth to you! Have you thought about the consequences of your betrayal?!"
As the young mistress of a marquis's mansion, killing a country woman with no background would be a piece of cake for her.
I thought Jixiang was a filial son, but it turns out he's nothing special!
Jixiang knew that from today onwards, she would have torn off all pretense of civility with the young mistress of the Marquis's mansion and even the entire Yun family, which stirred up some of her anger.
She looked up and smiled slightly at Yun Wan: "Young Madam, you should find my mother first."
That night, she returned from Liuyun Garden and stared blankly at the hot wine and dishes in front of her.
Although Yunxi did use her mother as bait at first, she never mentioned her mother again after curing her. On the other hand, Jixiang believed that Yunwan's use of her mother as a blackmail was just the beginning.
As long as Yunxi remains standing, her mother will not be safe.
But what if Yunxi falls?
If Yunxi falls, will her mother be safe?
not necessarily.
So she ultimately decided to tell Yunxi about it.
At first, Yunxi didn't say anything.
Just as Jixiang was feeling uneasy, she met Yunxi's gaze.
That look seemed to be one of relief, or perhaps a relief at having let go of something extremely heavy.
Then Yunxi said that she should let her mother leave, live somewhere else, get away from the Yun family's sight, so that she could live a worry-free life for the rest of her days.
After saying that, Yunxi gave her another sum of money and told her to go home that night and settle her mother in.
Jixiang felt reluctant, but she also knew that this was the only way for her mother to live a peaceful life.
Today's events further confirm Jixiang's idea.
Letting her mother leave is the best course of action.
From that moment on, she truly belonged to Yunxi.
When Yunxi is born, she is born too; when Yunxi dies, she takes her place.
A hint of determination appeared in Ji Xiang's eyes.
Yun Wan was no stranger to such gazes.
Pearl had been looking at her like this for a long time.
Yun Wan scoffed coldly: "It seems that bitch is still the most cunning! My mother has kept you by her side for so many years, but that bitch has only been here for a short time and has already tamed you so well!"
"You ungrateful wretch! Men, beat him up!"
At Yun Wan's command, the rough-and-ready women in the courtyard set up their positions and pressed Jixiang down onto the bench.
Immediately afterwards, three-finger-thick wooden planks landed solidly on Jixiang, one after another.
