  After drinking tea leisurely, Mrs. Chu slowly put the teacup on the table and called out in a soft voice: "Gui Zhi, call a few executioner women to the door."

  Mrs. Chu spoke in a very soft voice, and if it weren't for the quietness of the house, almost no one could hear her. But as soon as she said this, everyone's face changed drastically. Chu Gaoshi was flustered and looked at Mrs. Chu anxiously, while Liu Yiniang was even more tense, staring straight at Chu Keqin.

  Chu Xue's mind was filled with unspoken thoughts, she naturally already knew that Old Lady Chu was a ruthless and cunning old lady, but what was the point of her coming back now? Was it because of Liu Niang?

  Liu Yiniang worried about her, fearing that she had been rude to Chu Lao Furen at the Duke's mansion and was now being held accountable. But she turned around and worried about Liu Yiniang instead, wondering if something had happened at home, perhaps due to some mischief caused by the newly arrived Hong Xiuniang. After all, it was normal for new people in the household to stir up trouble, even if it meant hurting the elderly.

  Chu Ke raised her head to see the reaction of Hong Xiuniang, and after taking a look, she dispelled her previous idea. Hong Xiuniang seemed even more shocked, with tense eyes secretly glancing at the old lady, looking like she was already very afraid of the old lady.

  Chu Ke's heart was slightly relieved, and she felt the extremely tense gaze from Mrs. Liu's side. She looked over and saw that Mrs. Liu's tension seemed to be for her own sake, rather than being anxious about herself. Her heart completely relaxed, it shouldn't be Mrs. Liu's matter. Then, a flash of inspiration struck her mind, and she suddenly realized something.

  The people around Mrs. Chu were moving extraordinarily quickly, and the crowd was still in shock and speculation when Guizhi came in: "Old lady, the woman is already at the door."

  Madam Chu coldly swept a glance at the door curtain and said, "Bring over Jiahui and Jiali from Fourth Young Miss's side, stuff their mouths shut and beat them to death in the courtyard. Let Second Young Miss and Third Young Miss's maids all come over to watch."

  As soon as these words came out, Chu Ke's expression relaxed slightly, and she suddenly understood.

  Chu Yun Qing was so frightened that she let out a low, voiceless scream and her body went limp, sliding under the chair. A quick-witted maid behind Old Lady Chu hastily came forward to support her back into the chair, lest she lose face in front of everyone.

  Everyone else in the room turned pale, Chu Gao's family was shocked and hastily lowered their heads, their faces had already become as white as paper. Chu Yuntin was thoroughly convinced of that matter, her face was gray and defeated beyond compare. Her eyes were wide with only a sliver of black visible, staring fixedly at Chu Yunqing. Now, for her, killing two maidservants would not alleviate any anger. It's likely she wished to kill Chu Yunqing instead.

  Liu Yiniang was also tense and frightened for no reason, her whole body trembling as she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the old lady.

  The door was accompanied by the sound of 'Wu Wu Wu', as well as the sound of kicking and struggling, with a vague cry of begging. Madam Chu said coldly: "Hang up the curtain and let everyone see."

  The curtain was hung up, Chu Ke looked outside, Jia Hui and Jia Li were dragged into the courtyard with their mouths covered, four robust women held them down, two more plump ones came forward and tore off their skirts with a few strokes, revealing their white buttocks, raised the board and beat them mercilessly...

  Chu Kei hastily turned her head around.

  Hong Xiuniang didn't know why, but she was so scared that she fell to the ground, however no one went to help her up.

  The old woman who was supporting Chu Yunqing said in a low voice, telling her to calm down. Chu Yunqing's whole body had gone limp on the chair, wanting to cry out loud, but the old woman grasped her own hand and covered her mouth, the entire room filled with Chu Yunqing's muffled sobs.

  The crisp slaps landed on the flesh, Jiahui and Jiali were gagged, but they strained their voices to make sounds, the muffled cries grew more and more heart-wrenching, struggling and kicking, doing whatever movements they could muster. The sound was terrifying to the extreme, Chuyunqing's body slowly went limp, fainting. Chuyunting's whole body trembled, her hands shaking as she covered her ears, her feet uncontrollably trembling, not knowing why, scared out of her wits.

  The woman who was supporting Chu Yunqing walked quietly to the side of Old Lady Chu and softly reported what had happened after Chu Yunqing fainted. Old Lady Chu finally raised her eyes to take a look, but still didn't say anything, instead staring at the woman.

  The old woman understood and ran out quickly. After a while, Chu Kei heard the sound of the board hitting the meat getting louder and faster.

  The old lady from Chu's words just now clearly meant to hurry up and kill him

  Soon all other noises outside had stopped, and only the sound of slaps on flesh could be heard. After a while, this sound also grew fainter, slower, until finally there was nothing at all.

  At this time, everyone in the house was trembling with fear, and they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

  The old lady of Chu coldly swept a glance over everyone and said lightly: "Carry Fourth Miss out."

  Several old women went forward and carried Chu Yunqing out. Only then did Old Lady Chu slowly turn around to look at Chu Yunting and Chu Keqi, saying: "The matter between Yunqing and Huiye has already been settled, they will come over in a few days to finalize it." Her eyes lingered on Chu Yunting's face for a moment before she said lightly: "You've all been living outside for a long time, now that you're back home, take a good rest for a couple of days."

  This is a warning to both of them to be honest, and also telling Chu Yunting that things have already been decided and cannot be changed.

  Chu Xue hurriedly showed a well-behaved and cooperative attitude, quickly standing up and saying: "Yes, granddaughter obeys... Grandmother is also tired, granddaughter wants to retire."

  "Go," said Mrs. Chu quietly.

  Chu Xue came out of the house and said that it was impossible not to be shocked. She wasn't afraid, she had killed people before, and she had seen such scenes before. However, Chu Yunqing had fainted, and the old lady actually made everyone watch until the end before dispersing. This old lady is ruthless.

  As soon as she thought of this cruel old lady, who was secretly pondering something in her heart, she felt a sense of depression and hurriedly stepped down from the stage and onto the corridor, heading towards her own courtyard, followed by several maidservants, whose light footsteps echoed behind.

  After walking for about a moment, she finally arrived at her courtyard. Everything here was still the same as when she had lived there for several months. As she entered the gate, several women were standing in the small yard between the outer and inner gates. When they saw her, they smiled and called out: "Miss is back?" But the smile on their faces was really forced, looking almost like crying.

  If Chu Xiang didn't guess wrong, they weren't being polite because of respect for themselves, but because of what had just happened at Old Lady Chu's place, which made them nervous. They couldn't figure out the reason, so they were a bit more courteous to themselves.

  She didn't bother with them, nor did she care about these people. She hastily entered the inner courtyard, and a maid behind her rushed up to draw the curtains as she went in.

  She went to the main house and took a look at the left wing, where there was a package on the kang that had already been opened, with clothes still beside it. It was something she had brought back from the Duke's mansion, probably the maid was tidying up but was called away to watch the execution.

  She didn't stop and walked directly into the house. Several maids followed her in and immediately started bustling around, serving tea and water.

  In Chu Xue's boudoir, there were originally two senior maids and two secondary maids. The senior maids were Ou He and Lian Zi, while the junior maids were called Ba Bao and Bai Guo. After Ou He died, only Lian Zi was left among the senior maids.

  Now three maidservants are attending to her, but they all move quietly and carefully, making no sound as they walk or pour tea. Everyone's face is pale and they're trembling slightly, clearly frightened by what just happened.

  Especially lotus seed, tense and secretly rejoicing, at that time for whom to go with the girl to the county king's mansion, she and Ouhe had a secret quarrel, until the end, no result was reached as to who would go, neither of them thought of asking the girl to decide, but only privately compared strength, who knew that two days before leaving, she didn't know what she ate wrong, vomiting and diarrhea, almost left with half a life, Ouhe followed the girl with great satisfaction.

  But now, Ouhe offended the young lady and was driven back. He died on the way, while two personal maids who were close to the fourth young lady were beaten to death as soon as they entered the door.

  Lotus seed secretly congratulated herself, sneaking a peek at the girl's expression, seeing that the girl was very calm and composed, she thought to herself, could it be that the girl knew what had happened to the maid by Fourth Miss's side? This must be asked, I have to know what kind of fire Old Lady is putting out.

  "Did you boil water for me? No jumping words." Chu Ke asked.

  Lotus hurriedly accompanied a smile and said: "Yes, it's already cooked. Miss, are you going to take a bath now?"

  Chu Ke nodded slightly, and Lotus immediately gestured to the two maidservants. Ba Bao and Bai Guo quickly followed her out.

  A moment later, the bathtub was carried in and placed against the right wall of the house. In front of it, a screen was set up. Lotus then brought over the clothes that Third Sister wanted to change into and gently laid them on the purple sandalwood stool outside the screen.

  Chu Kexi got up and walked behind the screen, Lotus followed in, stretched out her hand to help her undress, Chu Kexi waved her hand: "Get out."

  Lotus seed was taken aback and hastily said: "Miss, let me serve you with your bath instead?"

  Chu Ke looked at her with a smile that was not quite a smile: "Get out."

  Lotus seed looked up at her in surprise for a while, making sure she really called herself out, and could only mutter: "If the girl has something to do, call the slave..." and went out.

  Chu Ke stretched out her hand to splash some water, which was neither hot nor cold. Only then did she take off her clothes. The curved knife had been hidden on her body all along. Now that her clothes were off, she didn't hide it in the pile of clothes, but instead placed it behind the potted landscape on the windowsill before getting into the bathtub.

  The bathtub was very large, with *** oil poured into the water, fragrant and pleasant. She gently splashed water on her body.

  Lotus seed and water chestnut were equally impolite to her, this time when they went to the Duke's mansion, the two of them quarreled secretly, she also knew, but at that time she had just arrived and was still in a state of disbelief and discomfort, lying on the bed wishing she could die.

  Lotus leaf was bought by Chu Yun Ting, it was something she knew when she was in the Duke's mansion. Although lotus seed wasn't bought by anyone, what kind of person she is, Chu Ke Qi is very clear about that.
