In ancient times, I just wanted to be a salted fish

Chapter 111: Death

Tian had just come back from outside, her face still had a bit of fatigue, but her eyes were sharp and stern. When she walked into her eldest son Qiao Zirui's room, she saw the head maid Xiang Qiao sitting by the bed, putting a crystal clear grape to Qiao Zirui's mouth.

Tian's face suddenly turned gloomy. She strode forward and gave Xiangqiao no time to react. She raised her hand and slapped her hard. This slap used up all Tian's strength and made Xiangqiao stagger and fall to the ground, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.

"You shameless slave girl!" Tian's voice was filled with anger and disgust, "How dare you seduce the eldest master!"

Xiang Qiao was stunned by this sudden slap. She covered her swollen cheek with her hands, her eyes full of fear and grievance. But she didn't dare to refute, so she could only kneel on the ground with her head down, her body trembling.

Qiao Zirui was also startled by his mother's behavior. He quickly sat up and tried to explain: "Mom, you misunderstood..."

"Shut up!" Tian interrupted her son. "I saw it with my own eyes. What else can I say?"

She glared at Xiang Qiao, her eyes flashing with anger: "You shameless thing, how dare you seduce the young master behind my back. I will never let you go today!" After saying that, she turned around and shouted to the outside of the door: "Someone come! Drag this bitch out and beat her to death with sticks..."

Xiangqiao is a personal maid who grew up with Qiao Zirui. She is beautiful, gentle, humorous, and good at acting cute. As early as the age of twelve, Xiangqiao had become Qiao Zirui's maid. Tian turned a blind eye to all this, because as long as her son was happy, nothing else mattered.

But today, when she saw Xiang Qiao doing that, deliberately flirting and seducing in front of her son, the anger in her heart suddenly came up, and she took this opportunity to vent it all on her.

Qiao Zirui knelt down on the ground all of a sudden, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably. He cried and begged, "Mom, please let Xiangqiao go. I really like her and I can't live without her by my side! Wuuuuu..." As he spoke, he kowtowed continuously, hoping that his mother could understand his feelings.

Seeing her son so excited and in pain, Tian became even more angry. She didn't expect that a little maid could make her son so obsessed, even to the point where he couldn't let go. She felt that her son had been completely bewitched by this woman and had lost his reason and judgment. This situation made her very worried and angry.

She couldn't help but scold loudly: "Look at you now. You are kneeling down and begging for mercy without any dignity for a maid! What benefits did she give you to make you so obsessed? Can't you even abandon your own mother?" Tian became more and more angry as she spoke. She felt that her son was no longer the sensible and obedient child he used to be, but was completely changed by this maid named Xiangqiao.

Tian decided to teach this ignorant little girl a lesson, to let her know her identity and status, and to let her son know who is the most important person in the family. She wanted to let them know that any attempt to destroy family harmony is not allowed.

Everyone knows that the Marquis's Mansion is a prestigious family, and they are particular about the matching of the two families when it comes to taking concubines. How can a slave girl of low status match the noble sons of the Marquis's Mansion? Even if they are concubines, they should be daughters of families with status and position. However, this maid is trying to get close to the Marquis's Mansion, which is really overestimating her own abilities.

Worse still, if this maid succeeds, wouldn't it disrupt the rules and order of the Marquis's Mansion? The reputation and prestige of the Marquis's Mansion will definitely be affected. Therefore, this kind of thing must not be allowed to happen, and must be resolutely resisted!

In addition, if this maidservant really became a concubine, it might cause dissatisfaction and jealousy among other concubines when Qiao Zirui married a wife and took a concubine in the future. After all, they were all carefully selected and considered before entering the mansion. And this maidservant was a childhood sweetheart who grew up with the young master. It would inevitably cause disputes in the inner house and destroy the harmonious atmosphere of the mansion.

In summary, no matter from which perspective, this maid should not be allowed to become a concubine of the Marquis's Mansion. This is not only related to the dignity and honor of the Marquis's Mansion, but also a necessary measure to maintain the stability of the family. Only in this way can the prosperity and long-term stability of the Marquis's Mansion be ensured.

Although the two maids dragged Xiangqiao away, they didn't dare to hit her easily. Everyone knew that Xiangqiao was the eldest master's darling, and they were afraid of dropping her if they held her in their hands, and afraid of melting her if they held her in their mouths.

If anyone dared to touch her at this time, they would be tired of living! Everyone knows how much the eldest master dotes on Xiang Qiao! So even if the eldest master is not present, these two women dare not act rashly. After all, they still want to save their lives!

Everyone knows that the eldest son is always humble and obedient in front of the eldest lady. But that's only because the eldest lady is his biological mother! For the sake of filial piety, he has to swallow his anger and dare not disobey in the slightest.

But if it was someone else who dared to be disrespectful to the eldest son, he would have beaten him to his knees and begged for mercy. He might have died eight or ten times, so how could he have the chance to be so arrogant here?

When Tian saw that the two old women dared to disobey the orders of her mistress, causing her to lose face in front of her son and the servants, she could no longer suppress her anger. She suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and her body suddenly fell limply to the ground.

Upon seeing this, the servants around all rushed over, helped Tian up, and wanted to send her back to her own house to rest.

However, Tian was not willing to leave. She picked up a board and hit Xiang Qiao hard. Every hit seemed to hit Qiao Zien's body, which made the anger in her heart dissipate a little.

Xiangqiao was beaten to pieces and cried out in pain: "Master, please save Qiaoer! Master..." Although Qiao Zirui felt heartbroken, he did not dare to disobey his mother. He could only watch his beloved woman suffer with tears in his eyes.

After being beaten with twenty boards, Tian collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion, and Xiangqiao died due to her severe injuries.

Xiangqiao died, and Tian finally vented her anger, feeling much better.

She sat on the ground to regain her strength, then asked the maid to help her up, saying, "This is the fate of a lowly maid who dared to seduce the young master. Drag her out and throw her into a mass grave to feed the wild dogs. Hahahaha..."

Tian laughed like crazy for several times. She glanced at her eldest son who was holding Xiangqiao and wanted to cry but couldn't, then she stopped smiling and said coldly, "Keeping her here will only bring disaster. Beauty is the root of disaster!"

Then she asked her servants to sell the two old women who had disobeyed her to the pawnbroker.

Qiao Zirui looked at his mother's receding back, resentment growing in his heart.
