I'm already a concubine, who wants to fight with you?

Chapter 48: It was Xie Xiaoniang who instigated it

Unfortunately, Pei Yuan's coldness is unmatched.

He kicked Lidie'er away, furious.

"You still have the nerve to complain? Didn't you kill the baby in Feng'er's belly? He was my first son! How dare you!"

Lidie'er's tender face was covered with traces of tears, which mixed with blood and flowed down, leaving wet marks on the smooth wooden floor.

"Master, please calm down. I really don't dare. I didn't mean to do that. I was just scared by the snake..."

Lidie'er was timid to begin with, and after being beaten half to death, she was so frightened that she was trembling even when she spoke, but she had to defend herself.

Pei Yuan grabbed her swollen and bloodshot face and said angrily, "Li Die'er, I usually dote on you, but you even didn't let my son go. How shameless you are! I was blind to have ever shown favor to you!"

The more he spoke, the more he felt that he had misjudged the person, and he couldn't help but kick Li Die'er hard in the heart.

Li Die'er's face turned pale immediately and she fell to the ground and couldn't move for a long time.

Seeing that the person seemed to have no breath, Pei Yuan stood up suddenly and asked nervously: "Dead, dead?"

The old lady said calmly: "Why are you so nervous? Sit down."

Pei Yuan then sat down again, but his expression was not as arrogant as before. Instead, he glanced at Li Die'er from time to time with a very complicated expression, as if he was afraid that he had accidentally killed someone.

The old lady signaled for someone to bring some cold water to wake Lidie'er up.

After the Double Ninth Festival, even though it was a little cold in the capital, Li Die'er was soaked all over again. When she woke up, she curled up on the floor, choking on water, and her body kept shaking.

Xie Fei took a look and seemed to see his younger self in Li Die'er.

He was abandoned by his father and hated by his stepmother. Everyone in the mansion could step on him and his life was worse than that of the lowest servant.

But the Xie family was a wealthy family after all, and they would not torture a concubine's daughter to death. Except for the time when she was framed by Xie Yang, she seldom suffered physical pain.

If Li Die'er had been born in a good family, she should have been enjoying the caress of her parents and lived a carefree life. However, she was favored by a playboy and had to become a concubine unwillingly.

Because of an unexpected incident, he was beaten half to death and was even sold out.

Once they fall into the hands of human traffickers, they are most likely sent to brothels, where their fate is even more horrific.

Just when Xie Fei felt that this damn society was full of cruel people, Xiao Shirong suddenly spoke.

"Speaking of which, this matter is indeed quite strange."

Xie Fei was very sensitive to Xiao Shirong's voice. He raised his head subconsciously and his eyes met Xiao Shirong's.

Xiao Shirong smiled maliciously and said, "Li Die'er is timid and honest, and everyone in the mansion has seen this. If she had the idea of ​​deliberately bumping into Miao sister because she was jealous of Miao sister's pregnancy, it seems..."

She deliberately paused to say the rest, leaving it to others to guess.

The old lady's expression remained cold. She showed neither regret nor sadness for Pei Yuan's flesh and blood, nor was she angry or furious at the dying Li Die'er.

She was like a golden Buddha statue high up in the temple, worshipped with no emotions, only indifferent and calm.

"What do you think?" asked the old lady.

Xiao Shirong said, "Mother-in-law, ever since Sister Miao got into trouble, I've always felt that there might be other reasons, so I sent someone to interrogate Li Die'er in her courtyard."

She cast her eyes towards Xie Fei, her intention to frame him was obvious, but she pretended to be deep in thought.

"The servants said that before the Double Ninth Festival, Fu Yu, who was beside Sister Xie, was very close to Li Die'er." Xie Fei raised his eyes, his expression unchanged.

Pei Yuan then asked, "What do you mean? Explain it clearly."

Xiao Shirong said: "My Lord, please don't worry. Please allow me to explain this matter in detail."

She said that Li Die'er was definitely not the kind of vicious woman who would deliberately bump into people and cause Miao's miscarriage.

After all, Li Die'er is so timid that she would never dare to attack her former master.

It is very likely that someone instigated her and led her to go against the Miao family.

This matter concerns the flesh and blood of the master, so we must not be careless. Therefore, Xiao Shirong has sent people to lock up Li Die'er's maid in the woodshed for interrogation, perhaps they can find out something.

As soon as Xiao Shirong finished speaking, Mother Tang came in hurriedly.

After paying her respects, she said, "I'm reporting to the old lady, my lord, and my mistress, that Li Die'er's maid Xiaoxun said that her young lady's actions were instigated by someone!"

Xiao Shirong raised an eyebrow and said, "Let her in."

Mother Tang turned around and snorted a few words, and immediately someone brought Xiaoxun in.

This maid originally worked in Xiao Shirong's courtyard. After Li Die'er became favored, she was sent to work for Li Die'er.

Mother Tang shouted, "Why don't you tell me everything you saw and heard!"

"Yes," Xiaoxun knelt on the ground and said, "Reporting to the masters, when I was sweeping the room that day, I heard the maidservant beside Miss Xie talking to our Miss for a long time."

Pei Yuan looked at Xie Fei with disgust, his eyes were as vicious as if he wanted to torture her to death.

"Madam, you suspect that someone instigated your daughter. Could it be the Xie family? What did they say?" Pei Yuan seemed to have determined that Xie Fei was the mastermind behind the scenes, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to kick this "ugly woman" out.

Xiaoxun still bowed her head and said, "I heard from Miss Fuyu that if Miao Xiaoniang gave birth to a child, our Xiaoniang would definitely fall out of favor. Moreover, our Xiaoniang is a member of Miao Xiaoniang's family. If we are favored by the master like this, we will definitely be retaliated by Miao Xiaoniang and her son in the future."

In addition, there were some inappropriate words, all of which were said by Fu Yu to "induce" Li Die'er to hit Miao's belly and cause miscarriage.

Everyone in the room was moved. Xiaoxun even cried and said that her mother loved her master too much and was afraid of losing his favor, so she was in a constant state of panic and was finally instigated by Xie Fei's people.

Xie Fei could never have imagined that even though she had already pretended to be sick and avoided the world, Xiao Shirong could still put the blame on her.

"How vicious!" Pei Yuan listened to the general situation and figured out the key points. He slammed the table heavily and said to Xie Fei angrily: "You bitch, you are still restless on the farm and even instigated my concubines to cause the disaster today!"

Xie Fei knelt down calmly and said, "Master, please calm down. I..."

"Shut up!" Pei Yuan was so angry that he threw a teacup at Xie Fei, splashing the tea all over him.

He didn't listen to Xie Fei's explanation at all. He was completely immersed in the pain of losing his child. He wanted to kick Xie Fei out of the house and shouted angrily, "Someone, bring this bitch's indenture contract and find a human trafficker to get rid of her!"

Xie Fei's expression cracked.

Sell ​​her out?
The servants also stood there, looking at each other, and carefully observing the expressions of the old lady and the mistress. The room suddenly became silent.

Pei Yuan saw that no one moved, and felt that his master's reputation was damaged, so he shouted again: "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and go!"

At this time, Madam Deng, who was beside the old lady, came out and said, "Master, Miss Xie doesn't have a contract to sell her body."

Because of Madam Deng's high moral character, Pei Yuan's anger faded a little, but he still said confidently: "You are the master of Pei Mansion, can't you even punish a lowly concubine? Is there still law in this world?"
