The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 410 So Stupid and Naive (1)
The way Mingche looked at him made Su Xiazhi feel that he was just an ignorant child.

"I walked out of the inner courtyard regardless. Even though the maids and servants knew they couldn't let me out, who would dare to stop me?"

"I left the inner courtyard and asked those people to take me directly to see Ji Xuan..." Mingche paused again, closed his eyes, adjusted his emotions before lowering his voice and said, "I'm still late! "

Hearing Mingche's voice of deep self-blame, Su Xiazhi's heart also tugged.

She began to imagine the consequences of Mingche being late...couldn't she become a eunuch?
Of course, this strange idea was only fleeting, and when she saw Min Lansheng, she denied it herself.

"When I saw him in the torture room, he had already been beaten for two days. It was my father's order: no more than one hundred lashes a day, which was ten times the punishment he gave me ten times! Until He can only be let go after he has lost all his blood and his flesh has been pumped away..."

"The thugs in the Ming government's executions are all well-trained, and a whip can rip a person's skin apart!"

"At that time, there was hardly a good spot on his back, and there was no scar on his face, he just stared at me..."

Such a strange picture and such a statement made Su Xiazhi's chest tight for a while. She put her hands on her chest and snorted lightly a few times, as if she could catch her breath in this way.

Min Lansheng secretly reached out to hold her hand, and said softly: "If you don't want to hear it, go outside and wait for us."

Su Xiazhi shook her head.

This is the past experience of his parents, she is so uncomfortable hearing it, how much pain will the scholar feel in his heart?So she has to stay with him...

The same pain, if two people share it, will it be better?
Ming Che's eyes fell on the hands held by his son and daughter-in-law, and he never moved away: "My father, let the thugs in the punishment room beat him a hundred lashes a day, that's not counting, and... he even cut off his right hand. ..."

"!" Su Xiazhi was stunned, and was dumbfounded!This Ming family is really ruthless and ruthless in doing things!
It's just that he hit his lady ten times with a ruler, and they chopped off the palm of Xiucai's father? !
Min Qinglan's whining sound came from his ear, like weeping and complaining, Su Xiazhi was upset when he heard it, so he had to look at Min Lansheng again.

"Father did lose his right hand. He always does things with his left hand." Min Lansheng said in a hoarse voice.

"You see, Mother did so many capricious things back then, and often caused the servant girls around me to be beaten and scolded. I didn't take it seriously. Only this time of capriciousness hurt your father...I regret it so much. !"

"For people of our status and status, the mistakes made by our own willfulness and willfulness require others to bear the consequences. I am so wrong..."

"I saved Ji Xuan, but he was punished because of me..."

It's the cause and effect of drinking and pecking again, who can tell?

"Looking at his arm that has lost its palm, it is my duty to save him."

"It's just that he was in the Ming Mansion at that time, how could I save his life?"

"Father and brothers all came to persuade me, and my mother also left the family temple. She didn't care about paying homage to the Buddha and came back in a hurry. She even promised me in front of my father: I will make arrangements for Ji Xuan's future life..."

"That year, he was only 22 years old. Because I lost my hand, what future life would he have..." Mingche's voice became weaker and her face was frighteningly pale, and she said with blurred eyes: "I didn't know until later , he went to the Ming Mansion to seek this job because he wanted to earn some money and go to the next year's autumn exam. At that time, he already had the reputation of a scholar... Now, it's all ruined by me..."

The ancient imperial examination system was not only very strict in the selection of talents, but also had special requirements on the physical fitness of those who participated in the imperial examination.

For example, those who are too ugly and physically disabled are mostly not allowed to participate in the imperial examination selection.

Ji Xuan lost his hand. Although his life is still alive, he really has no future!

"Uh!" Su Xiazhi had goosebumps all over her body, feeling creepy.

When she slapped Mingche's palm for Ji Xuan at the beginning, she was dumbfounded by the result in a blink of an eye.

No wonder Mingche would say: In Mingfu, people can die ten times!
For a good young man who is interested in official career, losing his palm is indeed too cruel.

Suddenly, Su Xiazhi didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, the silence in the hall didn't last long, and Mingche continued to talk: "I dare not take half a step away from him..."

"I have been guarding him all the time, afraid that he will be killed as soon as he leaves my boudoir, and I am also afraid that he will commit suicide..."

"Just like that, I took a hairpin and stuck my throat, while guarding him, not daring to let anyone in to heal him, and not daring to close my eyes..."

"I just endured and held on with all my strength, and I said to Ji Xuan: Can you not die? If you don't die, I will marry you and serve you for the rest of my life, which is considered an apology..."

"Why bother? You did something wrong, but you can also use other methods to remedy it. Is it sure that the two of you will be better off like this?" Su Xiazhi interjected.

"I was only 15 years old at that time, how could I think so much, besides..." Ming Che's face flushed, she stared at the ground and whispered: "Besides, I was in the same room with him who was alone and widowed For a long time, I... when I accidentally fell asleep at night, I lay with him..."

"Uh!" Su Xiazhi was speechless again.Looking at the still beautiful scholar with tongue gaping, the mother thought of that sentence: very silly and naive!

At that time, Mingche was ignorant of the ways of the world.I don't even know anything about the relationship between men and women.

With a simple heart, she put all the responsibility for Ji Xuan's severed hand on her own shoulders, thinking that she was the one who killed him.

The willful Mingche risked his life to keep Ji Xuan's life.

After locking herself and Ji Xuan in the boudoir for two days, she did save the two brothers, but she also seriously broke the hearts of their parents!
