Chapter 324
Jixiang gritted her teeth and remained silent.
The old woman who did the beating was used to rough work and had great strength. Knowing that her master hated Jixiang to the bone, she used even more force, wishing she could beat Jixiang to death on the spot.
"stop!"
A voice suddenly rang out, and then a woman's figure jogged into the gate of Liuyun Garden and headed straight for Jixiang.
Although Jixiang had only been hit more than ten times, she couldn't withstand the old woman's deadly blows. Now she was covered in cold sweat, and her face was as pale as paper. It was difficult for her to even stay conscious.
Yunxi's eyes showed a hint of pity: "Young Madam, Jixiang is my maid. Even if she has done something wrong, shouldn't I be the one to deal with her?"
Yun Wan sneered: "Are you saying that I, the young mistress of a noble family, can't even handle a servant?"
“Young Madam can punish whomever she wants, but there must be a reason. Jixiang has done nothing wrong, and besides, she is not even a member of Young Madam’s household. Even if Young Madam is in a bad mood, she cannot take it out on her!”
This was the first time Yunxi had confronted Yunwan face-to-face.
Yun Wan narrowed her eyes.
That bitch is getting more and more lawless!
While we're on her turf, we should kill those two ungrateful bastards!
However, Yun Wan still retained some rationality.
Yunxi is not the same as before. If something happens to her, not only will Shen Rang be held accountable, but the Zheng family will probably come to demand an explanation.
She was truly miserable as the young mistress.
Yun Wan took a deep breath: "Jixiang has been behaving inappropriately and offended me just now. I'm going to beat her to death now. If you're not satisfied, go tell my mother-in-law!"
As for the charges of inappropriate words and deeds, or of being offensive, Yun Wan could say whatever she wanted. After all, everyone in this courtyard was her own person, and even if they were in front of Madam Zheng and Shen Rang, they would naturally only side with Yun Wan.
"beat!"
Seeing that the thick board was about to fall again, Yunxi simply threw herself on top of Jixiang to block it for her.
Although Jixiang's consciousness was scattered, she still retained some clarity and knew that Yunxi was protecting her.
"Madam... please leave quickly, don't worry about me..."
Yunxi gritted her teeth and refused to let go.
It will be soon.
Sure enough, Yunxi was only hit a few times before the board stopped falling.
The board fell to the ground, and all the servants in the courtyard knelt down in unison: "Young Master."
Yunxi's grip loosened, and she fell into a familiar embrace.
"Zirong..." Yunxi looked at the person so close to her, her eyes brimming with tears, "Am I about to die? Why did you come back?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Looking at the pale face of the person in his arms, Chen felt a lump in his throat and picked them up in his arms.
Le'an, who followed closely behind, also carried Jixiang on his back.
Shen Rang raised his eyes, looked at Yun Wan who was flustered, and said in a deep voice, "Young Madam, you should think carefully about how to give me an explanation for what happened today."
After saying that, Shen Rang turned and left.
Upon returning to Jibai Residence, the physician was already waiting.
The physician was a woman, so there was no need for her to hide when examining Yunxi's external injuries. She quickly made a diagnosis: "No bones are broken, Your Highness, please rest assured."
Shen Rang nodded and gestured for the physician to leave.
Yunxi instinctively grabbed the physician's hand: "Please, doctor, go and check on my maid. She must be much more seriously injured than I am."
The physician said softly, "Don't worry, Madam, I'll go right away."
Hearing the physician's words, Yunxi finally let go.
