Chapter 137 Daiyu is missing
"Da Fujin, this girl is really stubborn. Even after being beaten like this, she still refuses to tell me where Yu Fujin went!"
In the darkroom, two maids looked at the dying Xiaoling and looked at the eldest lady with a flattering look on their faces.
The eldest wife slowly turned around and glanced at Xiaoling with cold eyes.
There was a hint of severity and determination in her eyes, as if nothing could shake her resolve.
"Hmph, does she think she can protect that bitch by not saying anything?" The eldest lady sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.
The two maids looked at each other and quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look at the eldest wife.
They knew the methods of the eldest lady and also knew that Xiaoling was in a very dangerous situation.
"Then put her here first, knock her out every day, and then soak her in salt water to wake her up! I want to see how long she can hold on!"
The two maids nodded quickly and said they would definitely do as the eldest lady's instructions.
Afterwards, the eldest wife turned and left, leaving two maids to look after Xiaoling.
There was a depressing atmosphere in the darkroom. Xiaoling's body was trembling and her face was covered with blood and scars.
But she still gritted her teeth and refused to reveal the whereabouts of Yu Fujin.
She had only one belief in her heart, that was not to betray Mrs. Yu.
What's more, Mrs. Yu disappeared inexplicably!
She thought to herself: "Girl, where are you? If you are safe, don't come back! Even if the prince loves you and builds a separate courtyard for you, you can live a good life outside!"
Every day, the two maids would follow the instructions of the eldest lady, beat Xiaoling until she was unconscious, and then soak her in salt water to make her feel excruciating pain.
However, no matter how tortured she was, Xiaoling always kept her promise and did not say a word.
As time goes by, Xiaoling's body becomes weaker and weaker, but her will becomes stronger and stronger.
She believed that as long as she persisted, one day she would be able to escape from this terrible place and see Daiyu.
Ever since Daiyu and Xiaoling were locked up in the woodshed, Jiaorou has been as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, unable to sit still and feeling extremely confused.
That day, she took advantage of no one's attention and sneaked into the woodshed in the backyard in a hurry.
"Sister, sister, are you there?"
Jiaorou shouted anxiously towards the small doorway on the courtyard gate, her voice full of concern and worry.
However, after calling out several times, there was still no response from inside.
The silent atmosphere made Jiaorou's heart even more flustered. She began to have wild thoughts, worrying whether Daiyu and Xiaoling had encountered any accidents.
She frowned tightly, feeling anxious.
Suddenly I remembered that Xiaowan was still in Cuizhuyuan. Perhaps I could learn more about Daiyu and Xiaoling from her.
So, she decided to go to Cuizhuyuan immediately and ask Xiaowan about the situation of Yu'er and the others.
"Sister, I hope you're okay. I haven't been feeling well these past few days. I wanted to bring you something in the evening, but I didn't get around to it."
Jiaorou thought as she walked, and her intuition told her that she had to find Daiyu and the others as soon as possible.
"Xiaowan, Xiaowan, are you in the room?" Jiaorou shouted anxiously as she entered Cuizhuyuan.
"What's wrong, Concubine?" Xiaowan heard the Concubine's voice, hurriedly washed her hands and rushed out of the kitchen.
Jiaorou quickly took Xiaowan's hand, pulled her into the room, and asked in a low voice: "Xiaowan, have you been to your Yufujin's place these past few nights?"
Xiaowan looked at Jiaorou with some confusion, wondering why she suddenly asked this.
But he still answered truthfully: "I just went there a few days ago.
I thought the weather was getting colder, so I hung out some thick clothes for the girls to wear, and I'll make some extra pancakes for them today!"
Jiaorou followed Xiaowan's gaze towards the kitchen, and through the kitchen window saw the freshly steamed buns and pancakes inside, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
She knew that Xiaowan was a maid brought by Daiyu from outside. Although they were master and servant, they were as close as sisters.
But that's not what she came here for today.
Jiaorou took a deep breath and said to Xiaowan in a low voice, "Xiaowan, I want to ask you something.
I went to the woodshed today and didn't see your Yufujin!"
Xiaowan frowned, thought for a moment and then said, "This... no way.
I went there that night, it was late at night, I knocked on the door gently, and the girl came out."
Jiaorou hurriedly pulled her back and whispered, "I just went to the woodshed and called out many times, but no one responded. I'm worried that something might have happened to them!"
"What, you didn't see them?" Xiaowan looked at Jiaorou anxiously when she heard Jiaorou say she didn't see Daiyu.
"Hurry, let's go again while there's no one around!" Jiaorou quickly pulled Xiaowan out.
The two of them rushed to the woodshed like lightning.
Unfortunately, no matter how they shouted, they still couldn't see Daiyu and Xiaoling.
In an instant, both of them panicked, and Xiaowan was so anxious that tears fell.
Jiao Rou said hurriedly, "This is not the time to shed tears. Let's go back and discuss it carefully."
The two were walking on the road with a lot of thoughts in their mind. Suddenly, Xiaowan was not paying attention and bumped into an old woman who was drinking.
The old woman's face was flushed, she reeked of alcohol, her eyes were blurry, and she was mumbling dirty words.
Perhaps she had just arrived at the mansion, or perhaps she had drunk too much, so she couldn't recognize the person in front of her.
"You bastard, why don't you show respect to me when you see me?" Jiao Rou frowned and stared at the rude old woman angrily.
The old woman was completely unaware and continued to talk nonsense.
It was not until the old woman next to her noticed that something was wrong that she quickly grabbed the corner of her clothes and winked at her secretly.
Only then did she come to her senses and realize that she was in trouble.
"Concubine, I really don't know how to recognize a great man. I didn't mean to offend you. Please be magnanimous and forgive me!"
The old woman knelt hurriedly to pay her respects, her heart filled with fear.
Jiaorou was in a bad mood at the moment and didn't care much about these servants. Besides, she was now concerned about Daiyu's safety.
After hearing the old woman's greetings, he waved goodbye and let them leave.
As soon as they left, Jiaorou suddenly realized that they actually came from the eldest lady's side.
The road she and Xiaowan were walking on actually had only two directions to go. One was from the eldest lady's room, and the other was the road leading to the woodshed.
However, she and Xiaowan had just come from the woodshed, so it was certain that these people must have come from the eldest lady's side.
Jiaorou thought: They came here in a very arrogant manner, and were drunk. Could they be happy about something?
The only thing that makes servants happy is that their masters reward them, but what is the reason behind this?
Jiao Rou walked and thought, she couldn't understand why these old women were so arrogant and dared to drink openly in the daytime.
"Xiao Wan, listen to me. Use some money to win over Cai Lian and make sure to find out something!" Jiao Rou whispered in Xiao Wan's ear.
Xiaowan nodded hurriedly, and the two of them went back together.
Miss Lin, where have you been?
