Chapter 889: The Prince of the Duke's Mansion vs. the Black Lotus Daughter 31
Ji Yunhuan was locked in the yard.
All the gold and silver jewelry given to her by the immortal were looted. Nanny Wan put the gold hairpin in her arms and spat at Ji Yunhuan fiercely.
"Bah! Shameless thing! You must have been associating with questionable people in private, otherwise where did you get these clothes and jewelry? You better search carefully, don't miss any evidence!"
A group of people were searching the house, even taking apart the bed boards, not leaving a single copper coin behind. Everyone who came left something behind privately. Nanny Wan took the most for herself, without hindering the others from making a fortune.
A maid sighed, "Master Shen is really good to the eldest lady. He gave her cloth, clothes, jewelry, and even a large stack of banknotes. This is not a betrothal gift. It was all given privately. The Shen family is really rich."
"These are all for women, there are no men's things. Where is the evidence?"
Nanny Wan dug out a wooden box with letters inside. She couldn't read, so she shouted, "Private exchange of letters, isn't this evidence? Some people are fickle, who knows how many men they have hooked up with!"
"I heard that someone in the court reported that the master was not a good steward. The master was furious and wanted to strangle this bitch to death. Fortunately, the lady was kind and spared her life! The master was so angry that he severed the father-daughter relationship. From now on, there will be no eldest daughter in the mansion. He can sell her off in the future and have peace."
"Miss, you like to hook up with men so much that even Master Shen fell into your trap. When you go out, you will have your own happy time, hahahaha..."
Ji Yunhuan ignored the wooden box. She just held the poetry collection tightly in her hands and huddled in the corner, allowing these people to mock and scold her without saying a word.
Nanny Wan cursed a few times but got no response, feeling a little bored. She had earned at least a hundred taels of silver on this trip. An unfavored concubine's daughter actually had better clothes and things to use than a legitimate daughter. It was obvious that she was not content.
She reached out to pull the poetry collection out of Ji Yunhuan's hand and cursed, "You little bitch! You're protecting it so tightly that no one can touch it. Is it a gift from your lover? Take it!"
Nanny Wan was very strong. Ji Yunhuan's right arm was already injured. This time he didn't even get any medicine. It was burning with pain, and the collection of poems was snatched away by Nanny Wan.
A dried imperial yellow flower fell from the pages of the book, every detail visible and perfectly preserved.
Ji Yunhuan knelt on the ground to pick up the imperial yellow flower. Nanny Wan stepped on it triumphantly, and the fragile petals broke apart and turned into powder in an instant.
Nanny Wan was very proud. "I thought there was something valuable hidden there. But you treated a tattered flower and a tattered book like a treasure..."
Ji Yunhuan suddenly rushed over like crazy, grabbed Nanny Wan's neck fiercely, bit her with her teeth and grabbed her with her hands. She didn't know where she got the strength from, but she held down the sturdy Nanny Wan, picked up a stone and smashed it hard on Nanny Wan's face.
Such ferocity and madness frightened the other maids and nannies so much that they dared not step forward.
Nanny Wan screamed like a pig being slaughtered. She was no pushover either. She beat and kicked the thin Ji Yunhuan with her hands and feet, and soon knocked him to the ground. But Ji Yunhuan seemed to be insensitive to the pain and rushed over like a madman to continue beating him.
Yun Ye was almost going crazy. He wanted to control Ji Yunhuan's body, but Ji Yunhuan was repelling him and wouldn't let him in.
[Ji Yunhuan! Stop hitting me! You're bleeding! Stop now!]
[It's just a flower. I'll give you hundreds and thousands of flowers in the future. These are all external things. You let them take them away. I'll give you ten times as much. Can you stop? It's just a flower. Don't do this. I'm scared...]
Ji Yunhuan was covered in blood, her forehead was cut, and her arms seemed to have lost all feeling. She finally snatched back the poetry collection, knelt on the ground, picked up the broken pieces of imperial yellow robe bit by bit, and put them between the pages.
"Mad! Really crazy!" Nanny Wan kicked Ji Yunhuan. Ji Yunhuan glared at her. Nanny Wan thought she was going to rush over again and backed away in fear.
Ji Yunhuan lowered her head and continued picking up petals.
Nanny Wan touched her bruised face and gritted her teeth, "You've really lost your mind! Wait until you're sold to a brothel, and you'll be obedient!"
"You guys, guard the yard well and don't let her go crazy and commit suicide. Send her out of the house in three days!"
Nanny Wan also wanted to slap Ji Yunhuan to vent her anger, but if he was badly injured, she wouldn't be able to sell him for a high price.
The lady handed this matter over to her, and she must make Ji Yunhuan suffer a fate worse than death, and never let Ji Yunhuan leave the brothel again in her life. Nanny Wan wanted to take the opportunity to make more money. The madam had never taken in a real official lady, so she offered a high price.
The courtyard gate was closed and locked. A whole day passed and no one came to bring Ji Yunhuan food.
Nanny Wan thought that after three days of hunger, Ji Yunhuan would be out of strength and behave himself, so as to avoid any trouble when the madam came to pick him up.
Ji Yunhuan sat beside the dry well in the yard, holding a collection of poems, neither sad nor happy, and said nothing.
Yun Ye was extremely anxious. No matter what he said, Ji Yunhuan ignored him. He could not feel any of Ji Yunhuan's lively emotions. He only felt an empty feeling in his heart, as if there was a hole in it.
There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart, perhaps this is the case.
Even when he first met Ji Yunhuan, this woman was beaten half to death, but she was still alive. She was afraid, angry, cried, laughed, and talked to him about everything.
Ji Yunhuan is like a wild flower growing in the cracks of a cliff. The wind and frost are as sharp as swords, but she still lives tenaciously, carefully absorbing nutrients for herself. This shabby little house has also been tidied up in order, with a table, a chair, a flower and a tree, all of which make people feel comfortable just by looking at them.
But now everything was ruined. She was like the imperial yellow flower, gently shattered, leaving only an empty shell.
"Miss! Are you okay?" The weeds outside the southeast corner were pulled aside, revealing a hole, and a lunch box was pushed in.
Ji Yunhuan slowly moved over, pushed the lunch box out again, and said in a hoarse voice: "I appreciate your kindness, but don't give it to me. If you are discovered, you will lose your current job."
Wang Gui said anxiously, "It was Mi Xue who begged me to come. I had long ago persuaded Mi Xue to marry me. Although I am only a kitchen manager, I can still ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing. But she didn't want to and insisted on following the eldest lady."
"Mi Xue...she's injured! She has a fever and is locked in the woodshed. It's all my fault. I'm powerless and can't save her. I can only send her some medicine. She insisted that I come to see the young lady, but she didn't eat anything I sent in."
Ji Yunhuan took a stone and dug under a big tree, and dug out a small seal wrapped in leaves.
She handed the seal to Wang Gui outside and instructed him, "Go to Jinguang Pavilion and tell him to ask the Nie family to save Mi Xue. No matter where Mi Xue is sold to, just ask her to buy her secretly. From now on, I'll leave Mi Xue in your care. She's just a maid, so I'm sure the Madam won't keep a close eye on her."
"After the matter is completed, this small seal will be handed over to Nie Dongjia and returned to its original owner. I believe she will be happy to help in this way."
