Chapter 324: Sister-in-law Runs with the Ball
Chapter 324: Sister-in-law Runs with the Ball
In the quiet family temple, candles gradually lit up, and servants rushed over with weapons in hand.
"Grandma, where is the bad guy?"
"How dare you, you dare to sneak into the women's room without even checking whose territory this is! If anything happens to grandma, we will skin him alive and dig up his ancestral grave!"
Tao Ziyi pointed at a dark shadow on the ground and screamed in panic: "Over there, go and hit him! Go and hit him!"
Shi Mingzhen was feeling dizzy, but he gritted his teeth and held on. Just as he was about to reveal his identity, he saw brooms, shovels and other things being thrown at him.
He felt dizzy from the pain, but he managed to hold on for a while. When he opened his mouth, blood gushed out. He was able to shout, "It's me, it's me! Shi Mingzhen!"
"Third Master!" the servant of the Shi family exclaimed.
"It's fake! How could the Third Master climb the wall in the middle of the night? He must be an imposter!" The servant of the Tao family gritted his teeth and refused to admit it. He was in a panic and hit him a few more times.
He got rid of all the humiliation he had suffered from the Shi family the other day.
Shi Mingzhen yelled weakly: "Tao Ziyi! I'm dying!"
Tao Ziyi thought to herself, don’t expect me to remain a widow for you after you die, so we got divorced.
She hid behind the shivering Bai Shi and cried, "I don't know if it's Mr. Shi San. Send him to the authorities, send him to the authorities quickly! Ah! My stomach, my stomach hurts so much!"
She pinched a handful of white peony.
Bai Shi trembled and screamed, "Ahhh, grandma has a miscarriage, hurry up and call a doctor! Quick, quick, our grandma has had an accident, watch out for yourselves!"
After saying that, she hugged Tao Ziyi tightly, who was pretending to faint.
The maids and servants were in a panic, so Le An Ning and Wang Fan rushed over, one took care of Tao Ziyi while the other dealt with "Lecher".
The servant of the Shi family was sweating profusely and said hesitantly: "Sixth Madam, this man is really the Third Master!"
Wang Fan cursed, "I'm not blind, can't I see it's the Third Master? What is the Third Master doing? He doesn't go through the main gate, but insists on climbing over the wall like that scoundrel. If it's him, nothing will happen. But if it's a bandit from outside, will the reputation of the women in this courtyard be in jeopardy? Will we still be alive?"
He doesn't care about the innocent life of my second sister-in-law, nor does he care about the innocent life of my sister-in-law, let alone the life of his unborn son! If it were me, I would have wanted to stab him twice more!"
The servant of the Shi family shrank his neck and said hesitantly: "But, it's the middle of the night. If we send him back to the capital, all the blood will be drained out..."
This is going to kill the Third Master!
The servant dared not say this.
"What can I do? There are only midwives in the family temple, but no doctors to treat injuries. How about you treat Third Master?"
servant:"……"
If he could govern, he wouldn't be a slave here.
Wang Fan still had a conscience, so he ordered people to stop the bleeding, apply medicine, and bandage the unconscious Shi Mingzhen.
Tao Ziyi didn't intend to kill anyone, so she was very measured in her attacks and none of the blows hit any vital parts.
One stab was in the upper arm, one stab was in the thigh, and one stab was in the shoulder.
It looks like a blood gourd, but it is actually not fatal.
When Shi Mingzhen was unconscious, he instinctively covered something.
Wang Fan looked around but couldn't find it. He regretfully ordered the servant: "Go and pry open Third Master's hands to see if his balls are broken."
The butler felt a chill in his pants: "...What...what? I didn't hear clearly what Sixth Madam said."
Wang Fan kicked him on the buttocks and shouted: "I asked you to go and see if the Third Master's balls are broken! Did you hear me clearly this time?"
butler:"……"
Everyone: "..."
It was exceptionally quiet at this moment.
Everyone stopped worrying and talking, and craned their necks to stare at the servant.
The servant swallowed, pried open Shi Mingzhen's hands, pulled down his pants, took a peek, and ran back, hesitatingly replying, "No, Third Master is fine."
Before Wang Fan could do anything, the servant's face suddenly turned red like a monkey's butt.
Everyone's hearts were at ease. As long as the Third Master was okay, the Duke's Mansion would not vent its anger on them. However, for some reason, they felt empty in their hearts.
Wang Fan said again: "Search the Third Master to see if he has any tokens."
The butler went to search him again.
A token of the Duke of Zhenguo was found.
Wang Fan sneered secretly. Shi Mingzhen was well prepared. He put the token back into the servant's hand and ordered, "Send the Third Master back to the capital to find a doctor overnight. With this token, he should have no problem entering the city. The Third Master is in a precious condition and cannot be delayed for a moment. Let's set off now."
The Tao family members did not make any movement.
The servants of the Shi family had no choice but to harness the horse-drawn carriage for fear of encountering any unexpected situations on the road, and a group of more than 20 people escorted Shi Mingzhen back to Beijing.
There were only two female guards sent by Shen and a midwife left.
The rest were all Tao Ziyi, Wang Fan and Le Anning's people.
Not long after they left, Tao Ziyi asked someone to bring the female guard and midwife and ordered them to pack their luggage.
The luggage was easy to pack. She was going back to her parents' home the day before, so she only packed items for daily use. It took her less than half an hour to finish packing.
Wang Fan and Le An Ning had a premonition of something and both felt sad.
Tao Ziyi held their hands and said with a wry smile, "We can't stay here anymore. I originally wanted to give birth to this child in the Shi family temple, but now it seems that Shi Mingzhen will never let me go.
I'm going to go to my father and ask my two sisters to tell the Duke's Mansion that I don't want this child anymore. When I get to the city, I'll buy a bowl of Luozi soup.
Yunxiao and Yunxing, if the Second Madam is interested, she will send someone to send them to my side. If not, I will have nothing to worry about with the Second Madam personally raising them."
As she spoke, tears began to fall like beads from a broken string.
Le An Ning wiped her tears and said, "Zi Yi, Shi Ming Zhen will not dare to come again. It is harmful to your health. Don't do this. If you hurt yourself and develop a chronic disease, it will not be worth it."
Wang Fan said, "No matter what decision Sister Ziyi makes, I support you. If you are not desperate, you will not make such a decision. It is okay not to take the child. Sister is so beautiful and has good kung fu. If she goes to the border, she may be able to find a better family."
Life at the border is harsh, and it is even more difficult for women to survive. There are also many soldiers, resulting in a situation where there are more men than women. Therefore, the customs there are open, and most men don't care about remarrying.
It is common for widows to remarry and for women to divorce and remarry for the second or third time.
Only in the capital city do men consider themselves more valuable and attach more importance to women's chastity.
Tao Ziyi's eyes were blurred with tears. She laughed when she heard this: "My previous employer hasn't even broken up yet, and you're in a hurry to find a new employer for me."
She never thought about remarrying, but life is so long, who knows what the future will be like?
Le Anning has been beautiful since she was young, and she attaches more importance to her own safety, so she said: "What about safety on the road? The people around you are not enough. Otherwise, Sister Fan and I will go back to Beijing and notify the Tao family to send more people?"
Tao Ziyi said, "No need. I plan to hire an escort agency to escort us to the next city. My Tao family still has some respect near the capital, so the escort agency won't dare to mess around."
"We feel relieved that you have a plan in mind." Wang Fan thought, I wonder how long Tao Ziyi has been thinking about leaving Beijing, but she left as soon as she said she would, and everything was handled properly.
It doesn't seem like a temporary decision at all.
At daybreak, Tao Ziyi boarded a carriage, left the ancestral temple, and headed south.
