Chapter 81 A huge commotion
Nanchun happily returned to Jingyuan with the purse.
There was a rosewood armchair placed in the middle of the yard, and Mrs. Bai sat there solemnly with a serious expression.
"Madam." Nanchun stopped smiling upon seeing this and bowed respectfully.
When Mrs. Bai saw that he no longer had the jade ruyi in his hand, but only a heavy purse, she was immediately furious.
"You're such a shameless person! How dare you steal the treasures from the house and sell them!"
Nanchun pursed her lips and said, "The old lady has wronged me. I didn't steal..."
"Are you still quibbling?" Old Madam Bai slapped the armrest of the armchair.
Nanchun said aggrievedly, "Bai Xun gave me the responsibility of managing the warehouse. He told me I could take whatever I wanted from it. How can you accuse me of stealing?"
"You...you...someone come here! Punish me according to the family rules!" Old Madam Bai was extremely angry.
As soon as she finished speaking, several burly men came forward and held Nanchun down.
"Second Young Madam!"
Lingyun and Jindou were horrified and rushed forward to stop it.
Seeing this, the guards of Jingyuan also gathered around.
"What? Are you trying to rebel?" Mrs. Bai asked sternly.
Nanchun grinned and said, "All of you go down. The old lady has spoken, and as a junior, I can only obey respectfully."
"Hit me!" Mrs. Bai waved her hand impatiently.
Nanchun was tied to a bench and the stick fell heavily on his body.
"Second Young Mistress..."
Lingyun and Jindou were about to rush over crying when they were pulled aside by Lan's mother and her people.
"Little hoof, you're still restless even after being beaten! I think the beating was too light!"
After saying that, she raised her hand and slapped Lingyun a few times.
"Madam, the second young master left a message before he left. You are doing this..." The guard Bai Hao frowned.
"Don't use Xun'er to pressure me! Even if Xun'er is here, he has to listen to me! Keep beating him!" Old Lady Bai said gritting her teeth.
Twenty blows from the sticks nearly killed Nanchun.
"Madam, the person...the person has fainted..."
"Keep fighting!"
"Madam, let me take a look first!" Zhang Mama's forehead was covered with sweat. "What if...what if someone dies..."
Madam Bai snorted coldly and said, "Why are you here? Didn't you say you would leave today? It's only twenty sticks. I think he's just pretending!"
"Madam Zhang, you can teach the noble ladies in the palace, but you can't teach a wild boy. I think you are old and your heart has softened. You are no longer suitable to be a foster nanny."
Nanny Zhang smiled awkwardly and hurried forward to take a look. Nanchun screamed "wow" and spat out a mouthful of blood, which sprayed all over her body. She looked extremely scary.
"Second Young Mistress..."
Jindou and Lingyun struggled to break free and rushed over crying.
Nanchun was carried back to the house, and Mrs. Bai ordered that no doctor should be called.
"Madam Zhang, please save the Second Young Madam." Lingyun knelt in front of Madam Zhang, crying.
Aunt Zhang wiped her tears and said, "Second Young Madam has done me a favor, so I naturally cannot sit idly by. Early in the morning, the old lady paid me my wages and let me go, originally to punish Second Young Madam.
She doesn't want outsiders to know about her evil deeds, but I won't do what she wants. I won't change my clothes either. I'm going back to the county town to ask the head of the family to make the decision for the Second Young Lady!"
After saying that, she hurried out the door.
An ox cart was waiting at the door early.
When she was invited in, she was in a luxurious carriage, but when she was sent away, she was in an ox-drawn cart. This kind of behavior did not show the grace of a noble family at all.
"All right, all right, very good! The useful ones should go forward, and the unused ones should go backward! I was just worried that no one would see me in the carriage!"
Within half a day, most people in the village knew about it.
Old Madam Bai ordered the guards to beat the second young lady, and blood splattered all over the governess. The governess was so scared that she didn't even have time to change her clothes. She quickly packed her luggage and took the ox cart back to the city.
Nanny Zhang entered the city and went to the Bai family porcelain shop first.
"Isn't this Aunt Zhang? What's wrong with you?"
Someone passing by recognized her and saw that her chest was covered in blood and hurried forward to ask.
"Oh my! Someone's going to die! Wasn't I teaching Second Young Mistress Bai the rules at the Bai family? That old lady Bai always makes things difficult for her. As soon as Second Young Master left, she started deducting her monthly salary and even beat her so badly that she vomited blood."
She had a loud voice and soon a lot of people gathered around her.
"Madam Zhang, what's wrong with you..." Shopkeeper Qian came out and was shocked to see her covered in blood.
"Where is the master of the family? Let's find him quickly and go back to save the second young lady. If it's any later, she might die." Nanny Zhang said anxiously.
"What on earth is going on?"
"The old lady had the guards beat her, saying it was family discipline... Twenty blows with the stick, each one with full force, on her back. The Second Young Madam vomited blood and fainted. She was on the verge of death, but she still refused to send for a doctor."
As Aunt Zhang spoke, she began to cry. "In my entire life, I've never seen anyone from my husband's family so cruel... If you weren't happy with her, you shouldn't have married her in the first place. Do you have to torture her to death after marrying her?"
When Shopkeeper Qian heard this, cold sweat broke out on his back.
"Da Li! Quickly take Aunt Zhang to the Bai residence to report!"
Baijiazhai.
When Song Amei heard this, her legs went weak and she almost fell down.
She ran all the way to the Bai family's old house.
"Please let him know that I am Nanchun's mother and I want to meet him." Song Amei said anxiously.
Seeing that it was her, Sun Lao San touched his nose with a guilty look and said, "Madam Nan, please go back! The old lady said that she will not see any guests for the next two days."
"No, I don't want to see the old lady. I want to see my son Nanchun!" Song Amei said as she was about to rush in.
"Hey... Madam Nan, please don't make things difficult for us servants!" The two doormen quickly stopped her.
After hearing this, Song Amei knelt on the ground crying.
"Please, I just want to see my son..."
Sun Lao Si was horrified: "No! No! Don't worry, I'll report it."
After listening to what Sun Laosi said.
"It's only been a short while, and she already knows?" Old Madam Bai raised an eyebrow and said, "If this continues, our old house will be under the control of the Nan family."
Mother Lan said, "The Second Young Madam is good at winning people over. Who would have thought that Madam Zhang would actually side with him?"
It would be fine if I didn't mention it, but as soon as I mentioned this old lady Bai, I got furious.
"Go and chase her away. Don't let her get in the way at the door."
Song Amei was waiting anxiously at the gate. After a while, Sun Laosi came back, and with him came Lan's mother.
"Madam Nan, the old lady said that the second young lady made a mistake and is now being punished. No one can see her." Mother Lan said arrogantly.
"Mother Lan, please, let me see him..."
"Close the door!" Lan's mother said with disgust.
"Mom Lan! Please!" Song Amei cried and banged on the door hard.
Mother Lan sneered and said, "You two should be smarter in the future. You must know who to listen to in the old house.
Sun Lao San and Sun Lao Si quickly replied, "Yes."
