Chapter 399 The Pain of Broken Arm
Yu Lingxiu fell to her knees with a "thump". Her knees hit the hard and cold ground and she felt pain instantly.
Lin Miaoyin sat upright at the top, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, with a strange arc that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "Oh? Is that so?" When Yu Lingxiu heard this, anger surged in her heart. She snorted coldly, turned her face away and stopped talking.
Lin Miaoyin said calmly: "In that case, why don't we call the servant over and ask him, then we'll know."
Her voice was light, like a feather, but also like a powerful hammer, hitting Yu Lingxiu's heart heavily.
The body, which was already trembling, suddenly froze as if it was frozen.
The old woman beside her had a sad face and a very ugly expression. She reported hesitantly, "Princess... the boy had died when he was beaten with a stick this afternoon."
Lin Miaoyin's expression did not change when she heard this, and she remained calm, "I know. What I mean is, isn't his body still there?"
Lin Miaoyin's expression did not change at all when she heard this. She remained calm and composed, and said calmly, "I understand. What I'm asking is, is his body still there?"
Seeing this, the old woman nodded hurriedly and responded, "This happened too suddenly this afternoon, and we didn't have time to take the body out, so it's still in the mansion."
"In that case, bring the body up." Lin Miaoyin's tone was soft, and no emotion could be heard.
The old woman did not act immediately, but glanced at Yu Lingxiu subconsciously.
Lin Miaoyin's eyes turned cold, and she asked in a stern tone, "Why? Are you still counting on your young lady to carry the person over personally?"
The old woman was so frightened that she trembled all over, shook her head quickly, and hurriedly ordered the people around her to carry up the boy's body.
The night deepened, and a cold wind blew, bringing with it a hint of eerie air.
The lights in the yard flickered, shining on the servant's purple face, making him look even more terrifying.
This horrifying scene was like a sharp blade piercing Yu Lingxiu's heart. It frightened her so much that her legs went weak and she almost collapsed to the ground.
Lin Miaoyin's expression was as calm as water, without a trace of emotion, and she walked quietly behind Yu Lingxiu with unhurried steps. Without any warning, she stretched out her hand and gently pushed Yu Lingxiu's back.
Yu Lingxiu, who was already frightened to the point of having her legs weaken and almost collapse, could not withstand the force of this push. She instantly lost her balance, staggered, and fell forward, with a "thump", she knelt heavily beside the servant's body.
The servant's death was horrible, his eyes were wide open, and there was clearly disbelief in his eyes, as if he couldn't believe what he had encountered until his death. This horrifying appearance was reflected in Yu Lingxiu's eyes without reservation.
At the same time, Lin Miaoyin's cold voice, as if wrapped in an icy aura, came faintly from behind Yu Lingxiu: "Let me ask you again, are you sure that this matter has nothing to do with you?"
Every word was clear and powerful, making Yu Lingxiu's eardrums buzz in the silent and eerie atmosphere.
Yu Lingxiu stared at the lifeless face of the servant, her stomach churning. The strong feeling of nausea was like a surging wave, hitting her nerves one after another.
She could no longer bear the tremendous psychological pressure, her eyes rolled back, and she fell straight back.
Lin Miaoyin's eyes fell on Yu Lingxiu's slightly trembling eyelashes, she sneered and ordered coldly: "Wake her up."
As soon as these words were spoken, the maids beside them looked at each other, their eyes full of fear and hesitation, and no one dared to take the first step.
Lin Miaoyin's gaze was like a sharp dagger, sweeping across everyone's faces one by one.
Finally, her gaze fixed on Yu Lingxiu's personal maid Cui Lu.
After seeing the servant's body, Cui Lu's extremely pale face stood out among the other maids, revealing a sense of guilt that was difficult to conceal.
Lin Miaoyin's lips curled up slowly, her expression was full of nonchalance, and she said slowly: "Since you are all so timid and unwilling, let me do it!"
After she finished speaking, she moved forward slightly and squatted down beside Yu Lingxiu. Then she moved closer and lowered her voice, saying word by word: "The pain of a broken arm can wake people up from chaos instantly, and it can also make people remember the lesson for a long time. Why not..."
However, before she could finish her words, Cuilu's sincere loyalty to Yu Lingxiu instantly overcame the fear in her heart.
Cui Lu was seen tumbling and crawling, and rushed to Yu Lingxiu's side in a very embarrassed manner. She shook Yu Lingxiu's body with both hands and called out anxiously, "Miss! Miss! Wake up!"
However, no matter how Cuilu called, Yu Lingxiu closed her eyes and did not respond.
Lin Miaoyin looked at Cui Lu's clumsy appearance, and a flash of undisguised impatience flashed across her eyes. Her tone was cold and mocking: "You can't even wake someone up. It's a waste to keep you in this world. How about I send you to the underworld to accompany the dead servant after things are settled? "
When Cui Lu heard this, her already pale face instantly turned as pale as the remaining snow in winter.
She was terrified, her eyes full of despair and helplessness. She first glanced at the servant's swollen, purple, lifeless and extremely terrifying face, and then quickly shifted her gaze to Yu Lingxiu who was still unconscious. There was only dead despair left.
She doesn't want to die!
In extreme fear and panic, Cui Lu stretched out her trembling, sweaty hand and pinched Yu Lingxiu hard with all her strength.
"Ah!" Yu Lingxiu opened her eyes suddenly as if she was struck by lightning, and jumped up from the ground, her movements filled with extreme anger and panic.
Then, without even thinking, she slapped Cuilv's face hard with her backhand, and angrily scolded, "You ignorant slave! How dare you pinch me!"
"Awake?" Lin Miaoyin's voice was cold and without a trace of warmth.
Yu Lingxiu's expression froze for a moment, as if she was frozen in time. Then she turned her head sharply, her eyes wide open, glaring at Lin Miaoyin, and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Lin Miaoyin raised her eyebrows slightly, her expression calm, and she spoke slowly: "After all, he was a servant in the Princess's mansion, and he lost his life in such an unclear way. If I confront the Princess in the future, it will be difficult for me to explain. Well, since this is the case, I will thoroughly investigate the cause of death of this servant."
Yu Lingxiu lost control of her emotions and screamed, "When he died this afternoon, everyone saw it clearly. What else can you check?"
