Chapter 14: Resistance
Unexpectedly, Xier was quite strong, as if she was familiar with this kind of work and often did it. She grabbed, pulled and locked Zhong Min's hands and controlled them behind his back.
However, Zhong Min did not resist so quickly. She seemed to be as strong as Xier now. In addition, she knew some grappling and fighting skills. Therefore, if she wanted to resist, Xier would not be able to do anything to her.
However, given her current status, she wouldn't take action until Concubine Zheng made the final move, lest she be accused of bullying her master. But if they actually resorted to violence, that would be a different story. Even though she was just a maid, being forced into a fight and having to resist reluctantly could still be considered a defense.
Seeing that Zhong Min had been controlled by Xier and did not resist, the nanny proudly waved the small red cloth bag in her hand and then opened it.
When Zhong Min saw it, she was stunned. She saw that the small ball of cotton cloth was actually filled with dozens of needles of different lengths and sizes. They were probably used for embroidery and shoe soles.
No wonder the nanny just now said it wouldn't hurt the skin or bones, wouldn't bleed or leave scars. If you just pick up one and stick it anywhere on the body, it won't take long before there are countless holes. It won't kill, but it will be extremely painful. Most importantly, there's really no sign of torture. It's quite sinister and vicious.
It seems that all the maids in the world are really evil. Zhong Min couldn't help but shook her head. It turned out that Madam Rong was not a legend after all. Now there was a real one standing in front of her, which made her hair stand on end.
"Your Majesty, where do you think I should stab this little bitch first?" The nanny asked Concubine Zheng for advice with a fawning look on her face, and her expression was really servile.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Zheng smiled nonchalantly and said, "You can do whatever you want. As long as you feel good about it, that's all that matters."
"Yes! Your Majesty is wise. It's so cold and she's wearing many clothes. Let's try it on her arm first and prick her a few times. If it works, we can strip this little bitch of her clothes and let her enjoy herself." The nanny was really dedicated and had no intention of showing any mercy to Zhong Min.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Zheng smiled tenderly, then raised her hand and waved lazily at the nanny, indicating that she could start right away.
The nanny received the instruction and said no more. She turned around and pulled out a sharp and thin embroidery needle from her needle bag. She said to Zhong Min, "Girl, don't say that nanny treats you badly. We won't use those big ones to scare you. We'll use the thinnest one to loosen up your muscles first."
"Ma'am, you're really polite. This thing in your hand isn't much more comfortable when you prick me with it than other bigger ones." Zhong Min understood this principle. The thinner the needle tip, the smaller the force-bearing area, so the pain will naturally be severe.
This old woman is really black-hearted. Like master, like servant. I guess this nanny is usually responsible for helping Concubine Zheng do this kind of thing.
"Don't be impatient, let's take it slowly. I have no less than thirty kinds. Try pricking each one dozens of times. Then you will naturally be able to compare which one is the most comfortable." The nanny smiled in a very disgusting way, as if she felt that torturing people like this was a kind of pleasure, without any mercy in her heart.
Zhong Min frowned, staring at the approaching face with disgust, and said, "If you do too many bad things, there will be retribution."
"Bullshit!" Seeing that Li You was still being stubborn, the nanny cursed Zhong Min viciously, then took another step forward and walked directly to Zhong Min's side. She picked up the needle in her hand and stabbed it into Zhong Min's wrist behind his back.
The needle was fast and fierce. It was obvious that this nanny was an old hand at this kind of thing. She didn't even blink when torturing people, but instead revealed a sense of excitement. Her expression was really chilling.
"ah!"
Soon, the needle fell, and a scream was heard in the room. But surprisingly, the scream did not come from Zhong Min's mouth, but from Xier who was holding Zhong Min's hands behind him.
Xier screamed and quickly loosened her hands, her face clearly in pain. She quickly turned her gaze to the nanny who had done the deed and to Concubine Zheng, who was looking surprised. She feared not only that she would suffer this unprovoked misfortune but also that she would be scolded by her master for her incompetence.
It turned out that the moment the nanny raised her hand, Zhong Min made a decisive and accurate judgment and took a step forward. Her strength was so strong that even Xier, who was prepared, was dragged forward a step.
So, the needle that should have been inserted into Zhong Min's hand ended up piercing Xier's hand.
Zhong Min could only feel a little sorry for Xier who took the hit for her, but she did not have such a good face towards the nanny who did it so cruelly.
"Mammy, you're really ruthless. If you keep stabbing him like this, he'll turn into a hedgehog in no time." She looked at Mammy sarcastically as she spoke, "Next time you strike, you'll have to aim more carefully. Who knows, this old man with blurry eyes might get stabbed and end up in trouble."
"Useless thing, you can't even catch a human!" The nanny was furious. She cursed at Xi'er, who was standing beside her with a frightened look on her face, and then she scolded Zhong Min, "You damned little bitch, you actually dared to hide! This is outrageous!"
After saying that, she ignored everything else and immediately grabbed the needle that was most convenient for her. Without being so particular, she stabbed directly into those parts of Zhong Min's body that were not blocked by clothes.
Zhong Min was no longer restrained at this time, so she would naturally hide. However, the nanny was determined to stab her and kept chasing her. Seeing that she was being forced into a corner, Zhong Min simply reached out and pushed the old woman hard.
"Ouch!" Another scream was heard, but this time it was not someone who was stabbed. Instead, the nanny was pushed by Zhong Min and fell directly to the ground with her butt. It seemed that she was hit quite hard.
"How dare you!" Zheng Ruyu saw how audacious Zhong Min was, even daring to hit the most senior maid beside her. She suddenly erupted like a volcano, rising from her chair and pointing at Zhong Min, cursing, "You little bitch, you're truly lawless! Today, I'm going to personally punish you. Let's see how much more arrogant you can be!"
"Your Majesty, please be careful. This little bitch is extremely strong and has no respect for your superiors. Be careful that she doesn't hurt you." When the nanny saw Zheng Ruyu walking towards Zhong Min, she quickly crawled up from the ground, as if she was trying to protect her master.
The stunned Xier finally came to her senses at this time and hurried to Zheng Ruyu, looking very nervous.
"She dares! If she dares to hurt even a hair on my head, I will order someone to drag her out and behead her!" Zheng Ruyu said angrily, then she grabbed the needle bag from the nanny's hand, pulled out three or four needles, held them in her hand, and went straight towards Zhong Min.
