Ch. 7Chapter 7: Family law


Although she was wearing glasses, but the picture in the phone was still not clear, after looking at it for a while, she raised her head and glared at Ame: "Is it her after all?"
“Yes…”, Ame replied with some hesitation.
“Damn it! Send someone to arrest her immediately!" The old lady banged the table indignantly, and Sia and Ame were both startled.
Ame just didn't dare to tell her the truth, for fear of her anger.
Half an hour later, Arianne was indeed taken to William's house.
The whole way was like sitting on a fire, although she didn't know what happened in the end, but she could think that more than half of it was related to today's incident, and moreover, it was the Bai family's accusations.
Going back and forth, which was originally a small matter, but she made herself look like a ghost, not only a bandage on her head, even her clothes were stained with blood.
When the old lady saw her like this, she was so angry that she hit her with a stick, and angrily bellowed a sentence: "Follow the family law!"
"Grandma…". Arianne could not bear the pain and crawled up from the ground, intending to beg.
Sister Sia held the phone in front of her face: "Young lady, is the girl in the picture you?"
Arianne saw the photo on her phone screen, her heart fluttered, where did this picture come from?
Previously, because she wanted to have the protection of that strange man, sitting on the hospital bed deliberately leaned on him, her face just pressed against his abdomen. Such a small move, in the eyes of the old lady, was distorted, without thinking, it was a good thing that Bach Anh An woman did.
I didn't expect her to do this shady trick, now that all the pictures are in the old lady's hands, she can't say if there's a reason.
She gasped: "Grandma, it's not like that... He...".
“If it weren't for the ring that's still on your finger, I would have dragged you out the door! Get out!". The old lady was so angry that she hit her again with a stick, and she cried out in horror and pain.
Outside the door immediately entered two maids, dragging Arianne to the backyard.
"What are you going to do?", Arianne looked around fearfully, she remembered the maid saying this was from William's house, but why did they bring her here?
Two maids forced her to kneel on the ground, sister Sia stepped up, her face expressionless said: "Young lady, you kneel here, repent well, one day and one night".
Then she turned and left.
One day one Night? Arianne stiffened.
In the Elizabethan house, Aretha holds a photo of Arianne and the other man pacing in front of her pale-faced father: “Dad, have you seen that? This is daddy's good daughter Arianne, vile like her mother, seducing men everywhere!"
"Enough," he glared at her.
"Dad, why are you angry with me, I just want you to see the truth." Aretha sat down next to him: "It's been a waste of time, I've always thought that I didn't treat her well, afraid that she would die at William's house, I'll see how good people are now, just got married and dared to run out. other than sneaking with men."
"Yes", Aretha's mother laughed mockingly: "Old man, this little Arianne knows how to pretend, don't let her pitiful appearance fool her."
“Also, the William family has already taken it out on our Elizabeth family, asking how we teach our girls, at that time I was so embarrassed that I didn't know where to hide my face, I could only assure them that they will bring their daughter back to teach them well. The faces of the Elizabeth family are all smeared by that brat!"
The father took a deep breath, stabilizing his emotions: "What do William's family want now?"
"Just scolded once, didn't say how to solve it, I just had to promise to bring that little Arianne back to teach her well."
"Okay then, tell him to come back here tomorrow." He suddenly got up from the sofa and went upstairs.
Mother and daughter stood in the living room looking at each other and smiling.
In the evening, when I got home, it was already 10 o'clock, I left the key to the doorkeeper next to me, then I went upstairs.
"Young master is back", sister Sia coincidentally came down from upstairs, assessed him and then reprimanded: "Young master just got out of the hospital today and ran to work, the old lady is not happy".
"It's okay, I'm fine."
"Then you can't be so reckless."
"I will pay attention", Christopher nodded, when he lifted his foot up the stairs, he suddenly stopped walking, turned his head and asked a question: "Is the young lady back?".
Sister Sia was a bit surprised, how many days has this great young master ever asked about the whereabouts of the young lady?
In fact, Christopher didn't want to care about her whereabouts, but suddenly remembered what happened at the hospital today, so he asked curiously.
Ha didn't intend to talk about being upset with Christopher, but if he asked, she could only tell the truth: "The young lady turned around, ran to meet a man privately, the old lady used the family law with her. while angry".
"Private date with men?", Christopher's eyes darkened, so bold!
"Yes, I really didn't expect her to do such a thing," said Sia, taking her phone out of her pocket and looking for the "adultery" photo.
Christopher took the phone and looked at it, the corners of his eyes raised.
If because of this photo, the family is accepted, then this white rabbit is too pitiful.
"Young master, are you okay?", Sia assessed Christopher, his wife's adultery, but the corner of his lips had a smile?
"I'm fine," Christopher returned the phone to her, saying, "Let it go, take her home."
“But, old lady, she…”
"It's okay, just say I say so", Christopher raised his hand and patted Sia's shoulder: "Bring her back to 'create people', doesn't Grandma want to hold her great-grandson?".
“Ah… um…”, Sister Sia nodded.
It's been ten hours since she was taken in from the street at noon, and Arianne has only felt her legs go numb to the point that they are no longer hers.
Originally, I was thinking that this family practice was quite human, at least not in physical pain, but I didn't expect this punishment to be more uncomfortable than being whipped. If you beat her once, it'll be over after you've beaten her, but this kneeling penalty is basically a long and agonizing show.
She was both hungry and tired and her head hurt, which was really unbearable.
In the worship hall full of ancestral tablets of the William family, the interior area is very large, and there are also many compartments. It's just that at night like this, except for the candles, there is nothing to light up, the surrounding is dark, quiet, and so eerie that it makes people's bodies soften.
She remembers at first when the maid introduced the building to her, as soon as she came from the street, her face was white, as if there was something unclean in the street.
At the thought of these things, Arianne's fluff stood on end.
A "cuck" sound, which seemed to be the sound of a door opening softly, moreover, came from the upper right room.
Arianne was scared to jump, her hands constantly rubbing her arms, her eyes scanned every corner of the hall, finally falling into the upper right room.
It was an old wooden door, the slit opening, a gap the size of a fist, and in that gap…
Arianne's spine stiffened, sweat pouring down like rain.
What did she see? A pale woman's face, fierce eyes? There's also a snow white suit.
A faint sound can be heard in the ear: "Give me my ring...".
Arianne blinked her eyes, when she opened them again, the woman was gone, and there was no abnormal sound in her ears.
She clearly saw it just now, could it be an illusion? But obviously not.
She - who still doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, was panicking.
She raised her right hand, looked at the ring on her ring finger once, the ring...
Was someone asking for a ring just now? Her body moved back a little, back little by little.
She knew that the door from the street was locked, there was a maid guarding the door, finally she backed up behind the door, then turned her hand and desperately banged on the door, screaming in fear: "Save life! There are ghosts! There are ghosts…”.
But no matter how much she screamed, the maid outside the door did not open the door.
Arianne turned her head to look at that side door, even though she couldn't see anything, she was still very afraid in her heart, and at the same time strengthened her strength: “There are ghosts… let me go! Let me out…”.
Called for a while, the door "clicked" was pushed open by people.
Arianne was stunned for a moment, looking up at the person with her tear-stained face.
As Sia, this strict, serious Sia, for the first time, she saw her so close, it was like meeting a relative.
"There are ghosts ...", she said, sobbing, sobbing.
Sister Sia coldly glanced at her: "Young lady, article 2, page 3 of the file, you don't remember or don't read at all?".
“I… I read it, but there is actually a ghost, right in there…”.
Of course, she remembers what page 2 and 3 wrote, moreover, she has a deep impression, probably not discussing anything related to ghosts and gods in the house. At that time, she thought, William's family could be so superstitious, but not allowing others to discuss, too unruly.
"Shut!".
"Me…".
"Take her to the main house", Sia left this sentence and turned away.
Arianne wiped the tears in her eyes, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, she can finally go home!
