Chapter 387 Mei Niang is punished
This is the only way for now. I hope he still can't let go of Mei Niang in his heart.
Mei Niang's adoptive mother also said bitterly: "As soon as he shows up this time, we will take action. After we get this done, we will move to another place."
The man nodded in approval, that's right!
Mei Niang lowered her head and obediently followed all arrangements made by her adoptive parents.
But for many days, Mei Niang's courtyard saw no trace of the second son of the Mi family.
Mei Niang's adoptive mother took all of this out on her, and she would scold her for no reason every day:
"It must be that you didn't serve Master Mi well and didn't win his heart. You useless thing, you have eaten my food for so many years in vain.
It would be better to raise a pig than to raise you! You can eat the meat of a pig after raising it for a year, but what can you do?
You can't even learn how to seduce a man! And you scared him away!"
Mei Niang explained weakly: "Godmother, I...I didn't scare him. Mr. Mi obviously likes me very much. He even said he would redeem me.
Oh! By the way, he said he was going home to make some money. After all, four thousand taels was not a small sum.
Maybe... maybe he is collecting money now..."
"Come on! Mei Niang, Master Mi hasn't been here for a long time, I'm afraid he has forgotten you a long time ago!
Hum hum…”
The one who was speaking was Qianniang. She and Meiniang had always been competing with each other and had been competitors since childhood.
Mei Niang has always been superior to her. Her godmother always lets Mei Niang pick out the nice clothes and jewelry first. Why?
No matter what it is, Mei Niang has to pick the rest before it is her turn to choose.
In this way, the adoptive mother divided the girls into many levels. Now Mei Niang is standing on the first level and Qian Niang is standing on the second level.
Therefore, Qianniang naturally hated Meiniang very much and wanted to step on her all the time.
Now that there is such a good opportunity, how could she not take advantage of it.
Mei Niang looked at her godmother pitifully and sobbed to defend herself:
"Godmother, you know me well. I always listen to you. The second son of the Mi family has always been very good to me. He even gave me two hundred taels of silver the night before, and I gave it all to you.
Oh, by the way, he also gave me a bracelet before going to bed."
Mei Niang seemed to have just remembered something and rushed to the jewelry box to find the jade bracelet that Mi Laoer had given her.
The adoptive mother snatched it and looked at it carefully. It was quite good!
This bracelet looks very valuable. It is a jade bracelet with good water content and does not seem like something given away to get rid of people.
This is strange. If he values Mei Niang so much, why would he sneak away in the middle of the night?
She was puzzled and could not figure it out even if she pulled her hair out, she could not imagine that Mi Lao Er was carried away by his brother-in-law Kaiyang.
Kaiyang's unconventional approach interrupted their plans.
She had accepted money from a wealthy family in Chuzhou. If she messed up, they probably wouldn't be able to stay here.
And that wealthy family was the Yan family. The third son of the Yan family was also a frequent visitor to their place. He accidentally saw the second son of the Mi family showing sympathy and pity for Mei Niang, so he came up with a plan!
The third son of the Yan family gave her a large sum of money.
He asked her to use Mei Niang to squeeze as much money as possible from Mi Lao Er, and when no more money could be squeezed out, he would be involved in a murder case here.
The Yan family has already paid for Mei Niang's life! She doesn't need to worry about what happens next.
This kind of thing is very easy for people like my foster mother who raises skinny horses.
She has plenty of girls in her hands. Even if she is reluctant to give up Mei Niang, who can make a lot of money for her, she can find many scapegoats to impersonate her.
Just replace Mei Niang. Anyway, we can get away with it by letting Mr. Mi be involved in the murder case.
She was calculating with her abacus, but she didn't expect that the person trapped in their yard would be lost in such a mysterious way!
Isn't this haunted?
However, no matter what, this Mr. Mi was lost in Mei Niang's yard, and the adoptive mother put the bracelet on her wrist. All valuable things belong to her.
She said to Mei Niang mercilessly:
"There is no order without rules, Mei Niang, since there is a guest who escaped from your house, we must follow the rules."
Mei Niang looked at her adoptive mother in horror and said:
"Godmother, it really wasn't me, someone must have deliberately framed me and secretly informed Master Mi.
He is a guest in my house, what good will it do me if he runs away?
So it can't be a daughter! Think about it, isn't that the case?"
The foster mother thought what Mei Niang said made sense, and she looked at the other girls with suspicion.
Qianniang gloated over her misfortune and covered her mouth, sneering:
"We can't get close to the people in my sister's room. The maids inside and outside the room are on guard against us like thieves. Let alone talking to them, even if we look at them, we will get a cold stare.
Who has nothing better to do than to come into your room! Do you think everyone is blind? "
The other girls also protested in dissatisfaction:
"That's right, that's right, we don't have the chance to see the people in Mei Niang's room, and when something goes wrong, they throw dirty water on us who have nothing to do with us.
Why didn't she share some of the good stuff with us? She's bullying someone who doesn't know how to count!"
The adoptive mother's cold gaze finally fell back on Mei Niang. Mei Niang was shocked and was about to say something else, but the adoptive mother turned her head and gave the adoptive father a look.
The adoptive father immediately took Mei Niang away with two guards, and none of the maids and servants in Mei Niang's room dared to move.
Everyone stood aside and watched, trembling.
There is a small dark room in their yard, which is the nightmare of all girls.
Mei Niang's voice begging for mercy was getting farther and farther away, but she could still vaguely hear:
"Godmother, please forgive Mei Niang. I really didn't do anything bad. Godmother, please forgive Mei Niang..."
The foster mother glanced around coldly and warned:
"No matter who it is! Before doing anything naughty, think about whether your skin can withstand a beating. If anyone is tired of living, I, your godmother, will help her!"
This old woman is cruel. Her hands are stained with the blood of so many girls that I'm afraid she herself can't even remember how many girls she has.
When the girls saw her, they were like seeing a cat, and they all kept silent.
Seeing that she had intimidated them, the adoptive mother left triumphantly.
She came to the door of the small dark room and said to the thugs waiting there:
"Be careful not to hurt her money-making foundation."
A girl like Mei Niang who is talented and pretty should not be delayed in making money for her.
They have their own way of teaching such girls a lesson, which is different from the way they teach newly bought greenhorns.
The thug replied respectfully: "Don't worry, we have the skills to make her suffer without causing any physical harm, and we guarantee that she won't be late for entertaining guests."
The foster mother nodded with satisfaction. She looked down at Mei Niang and said:
"Mei Niang, don't blame your godmother for being cruel. It's just that people in our line of work have to accept their fate. If a girl can't capture a man's heart, she has no value.
You know what happens to worthless girls. "
