21. Humiliation

As soon as Shen Yan said this, not only Xue Wanrong's expression changed greatly, but even Xue Ning, who had been hanging her head and saying nothing, raised her head.

Serving decoctions and taking care of daily life are all things that maids do! Xue Ning is the daughter of a noble official family, and she has always only been served by others, where can she serve others? Shen Yu said this, which is tantamount to calling Xue Ning as a maid, which is a great shame!

"No way!" Xue Ning blurted out, "I don't want to!" ”

"It's the lightest." Shen Yan spread her hands and looked at her with a sneer, "Otherwise, while we are all idle, we will go to the Jade Girl Peak again, and ask Miss Xue to fall down from there and bubble in the pool?" I don't need to be too strict, just taste the suffering that Miss Meng and I have suffered. ”

How can that work! Xue Ning desperately resisted the urge to shake his head.

She clearly remembered the appearance of Shen Yan and the others when they were fished up, the two of them were soaked, their faces were blue, Meng Xian's lips were even more bruised, and the servants tossed for a long time without moving, as if they were dead.

What's more, if you break your leg, how much does it hurt?

Xue Ning never had the courage to try!

She tightened Xue Wanrong's shirt as if she was asking for help, and her footsteps moved uncontrollably, wanting to hide behind him. Although Xue Wanrong's face did not change, his fist was getting tighter and tighter, and he didn't know whether he was weighing or patient.

Meng Jin on the other side had little patience, and when he saw this, he said coldly: "Since that's the case, let's make a judgment in the court tomorrow!" ”

"Brother Meng, don't worry!" Xue Wanrong immediately stopped it, glanced at Xue Ning, and said with a certain idea in his heart: "This time it is true that I have no way to teach my daughter, Miss Meng is unconscious, and I am also guilty in my heart." The little girl's temperament is indeed a little arrogant, so it is better to follow Miss Shen's intentions and teach her to take care of Miss Meng here, one is to apologize, and the other is to sharpen her temperament. ”

"And Miss Shen." Xu Yan said coldly beside him.

Xue Wanrong said: "Of course, of course, it should be so. ”

His palm rested on Xue Ning's shoulder, which seemed to be a soothing posture, but only Xue Ning knew how much strength was used in that hand. Her shoulder was pinched by Xue Wanrong, that was the meaning of a warning, telling her not to act rashly, even if Xue Ning was unwilling in her heart, she didn't dare to spit out half a word at this time, she just stood there with a pale face, clenching her teeth.

The matter was thus agreed.

Because she was in a hurry when she came back from Jade Girl Peak, she arrived at the Meng family's mansion first on the way, so Shen Yu was also temporarily left in the Meng family to recuperate. At this time, since the dust had settled, Meng Jin detained Xue Ning in the Meng family, and because of Shen Fei's new injury, she couldn't move in a hurry, so he invited her to recuperate in the Meng family first, and wait for the wound to heal before leaving.

Shen Ping was also afraid that his daughter's leg injury would be affected, so he thanked Meng Jin and left Shi Nan to take care of Shen Yan closely.

Meng Jin had also heard of Shen Ping's reputation before, and after coming into contact with him in the past few days, he also admired him very much, so he specially opened a guest room in the outer courtyard and invited Shen Ping to move over so that he could take care of his daughter nearby.

As for Xue Wanrong, Meng Jin didn't even have the slightest polite words.

Xue Wanrong had no choice but to follow Xu Yan back to the inn.

This Shen Yu waited for everyone to disperse, and then she felt a faint pain in her leg again. She has always been sensitive and can't bear the pain, because she was full of anger before, she temporarily forgot about her leg injury, at this time, she was relieved, and she couldn't help but "belch", and hurriedly asked someone to carry her back, and told Shi Nan to take a look at Meng Xian's situation.

After a while, Shi Nan came back and said that Meng Xian was still asleep, and Shen Yan was very sorry.

This apology quickly turned into anger, and Shen Yan was not polite, so she ordered Shi Nan to call Xue Ning in.

When Xue Ning came in, she was still a little distracted, and when she saw Shen Yan, the anger in her eyes couldn't be hidden.

Shen Yan would not be soft-hearted, stared at her coldly, and ordered: "Pour water." ”

Xue Ning looked up in amazement, she didn't expect Shen Yu to really dare to instruct her, and subconsciously said, "Shen Fei, you dare!" ”

Shen Yu smiled coldly and said, "You have to take care of your daily life, you have to dress and eat, wash and bathe, and you won't be happy to pour tea?" ”

Xue Ning stood there without moving, snorted heavily in his nose, and turned his head.

This reaction is of course normal. Xue Ning is the daughter of the Sanpin Majority, and she is also the number one among the girls in Wuchuan Province, she has been arrogant since she was a child, and it is natural for her to be high-spirited. Now that she suddenly wants to be at the mercy of others to serve others, the other party is still Shen Fei, who she has always looked down on, how can Xue Ning be happy?

She can endure it without scolding, which is already very patient.

Shen Yan was not in a hurry, and even chatted casually on the soft pillow, "Xue Ning, since His Royal Highness King Duan's ruling has been decided, and Lord Xue has no objections, you have made up your mind about serving tea and water to take care of the patient." Who told you to do such a stupid thing with a hot brain, and you are to blame for moving stones and smashing your feet, no wonder others! If you don't sincerely apologize, let's invite Master Meng over, whether you want to go to court or what, you decide by yourself, no one forces you. ”

"Shen Fei!" Xue Ning was ashamed and angry, and endured her grievances, but the tears were uncontrollable.

How could she not understand Shen Yan's intention to humiliate her? But at that time, Xue Wanrong's attitude was so obvious, telling her to endure the humiliation and bear the burden, and calm things down, so as not to lose the face of the Xue family, or perhaps not to spoil His Royal Highness Duanwang's impression of him, and even more, lest others use this matter as a handle and impeach him for the crime of not governing the family strictly and allowing his family to bully the people's daughters.

In the final analysis, Xue Wanrong had given up on her in this matter, leaving her alone to be bullied, so as to teach the Shen family and the Meng family to dissipate their anger.

It's one thing to understand, it's another to accept.

Xue Ning was extremely conflicted in her heart, and wanted to put aside her scruples and immediately run back to the inn to find Xue Wanrong, but would Xue Wanrong shelter her? Xue Ning sadly found that according to her father's temperament, she would inevitably be arrested at that time, and the humiliation would only intensify. But if she didn't go to Xue Wanrong, where could she go?

Over the years, she has been smooth sailing and pampered, but all she has relied on is her family background, and without her father's protection, she will only live on the streets!

The rain outside the house has not stopped, it has been falling intermittently, and after a long time, it seems to be able to wash away the hustle and bustle in people's hearts.

The sound of rain is sudden and slow, and occasionally the wind crackles when it hits the plantain leaves, which is frightening in plain form, but occasionally there is a short pause, but it makes people feel bottomless.

It was getting darker and darker, and it made people's hearts depressed and depressed.

Xue Ning didn't know how long she had been standing, and when her legs and feet were about to go numb, she finally raised her head. Her face was full of tears, and her lips had been bitten hard for a long time, and the skin was broken in one place, oozing the sweet smell of blood.

She raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face, turned and walked to the table, her legs and feet as if they had been filled with lead, and they were unusually heavy.

The teacup was in her hand, but it seemed to have a thousand weights, she poured a cup and walked over, and handed it to Shen Yan with a stiff arm.

Shen Yu had a faint pain in her leg at this time, and she was holding up a fire full of fire, so she touched the teacup with her fingertips and said, "It's going to be hot." Xue Ning had no choice but to pour another cup of hot water, Shen Yan reached out to take it, and when Xue Ning just let go, she let go of her fingers, and the hot tea immediately fell, spilling on Xue Ning's feet.

Now in the weather in May, Xue Ning only has thin silk embroidered shoes on her feet, and the hot water splashes on her feet, which is hot and painful, so that she can't help but squat and hug the surface of her feet in pain. She naturally knew that Shen Yan was doing it on purpose, and when she raised her head, her eyes were full of anger.

Shen Yan squinted at her, her provocative gaze could almost penetrate her, and said idly: "I missed." ”

If it had been placed in the past, Xue Ning would have exploded at this time, but in the current situation, where could she resist? It took a long time for Xue Ning's expression to soften, and she stood up with her head drooping, her scalded feet did not dare to touch the ground, and she leaned sideways to hold on to the railing next to her.

Shen Yu sneered, continued to lie back on the couch, pointed to the porcelain bowl on the table next to her, and said, "Those medicines can cure injuries, but they are not sticky enough, if Miss Xue wants to apply medicine, find a medicine pestle and pound it, and by the way, send some to Miss Meng." ”

The black mass of plaster in the bowl stuck together, exuding a faint fishy smell, which was said to have a miraculous effect on Shen Yan and Meng Xian's leg injuries.

Xue Ning stood stiffly for a long time, but finally turned around silently and went out with the bowl. Tears were dripping down her cheeks, wetting the clothes on her chest.

Shen Yu looked at her limping back and hooked the corners of her lips.

It's not worth pitiful at all!

If Meng Xian could wake up earlier, if Meng Xian couldn't wake up, her Xue Ning's future life would be more than just humiliation!

Although Meng Jin is lower than Xue Wanrong's official position, Meng Xian's mother has some backgrounds, and Meng Xian is the heart of the two couples, which really hurt Meng Xian's life, and the two families quarreled, Meng Jin would never give up.

And Xue Wanrong is not the only daughter under Xue Wanrong's knees, how Xue Wanrong will choose at that time, I'm afraid only God knows.

When it was time for dinner, Shen Ping came over to accompany Shen Yan and talked for a while, and told her some things to pay attention to after the injury, so he was very reluctant to leave - although Shen Yan was injured, the responsibility on Shen Ping's shoulders was still there, and after two days of delay, there were still many bibliophiles to visit later, and he didn't dare to take it lightly.

Shen Yan finished eating here, applied some plasters, leaned on the soft pillow, and listened to the sound of rain outside the window in a daze.

When it was nearly nightfall, heather lit the candlesticks all over the house, but when she went to close the door, she sighed, and then looked out.

Shen Yu lived in the Meng family's guest house, and there were no idle people, because there was heather by her side, Shen Yu was not like the people who troubled the Meng family to distract her, so she only left heather in the courtyard.

The night was dark and dreary, and the rain was falling, and there was not even a cat in the courtyard. Shi Nan looked at the black shadow by the door and rubbed his eyes, is that a person? But why don't you stand by the door and don't come in? She took two steps out with courage, and finally recognized the figure standing quietly with an umbrella, and said in surprise: "Qin ......"

After all, it was a guest living elsewhere, Shi Nan immediately stopped, copied the umbrella next to him and walked over, and only whispered when he arrived in front of Qin Yu: "Why didn't Qin Gongzi go in?" ”

Qin Yu's expression couldn't be seen clearly in the dark, he seemed to have just come back to his senses, "oh", and asked, "What's wrong with Grandma?" ”

"I've put on the medicine, I'm listening to the rain over there in a daze, do you want to go in and take a look?"

"Is it convenient?"

"Convenient." Heather nodded. It is taboo to let a man into his daughter's residence late at night, but there are always exceptions to everything, Shen Yu is well-dressed at this time, it is the dress of ordinary guests, and Qin Yu is her best friend, she came to visit when she was seriously injured, as long as she didn't alarm outsiders, the lord and the girl...... I don't think so.

Qin Yu was also relieved when he heard this, and followed Shi Nan into the house.

Shen Yu also discovered that something was wrong with Shi Nan at this time, and was looking at the door curiously, and when she saw Qin Yu, she was very surprised. She is now sitting on the bed with her legs extended, and her posture is a little unsightly, but fortunately, her clothes are neat, and the guest room is not as private as the boudoir, but she doesn't feel anything.

"It's still raining, why is Brother Yizhi here?" Shen Yu invited him to sit and asked Shi Nan to pour tea.

Qin Yu didn't sit down, his eyes fell on Shen Yu's legs that were tightly tied by wooden splints, stood for a moment, and said, "Auntie, I'm sorry." ”
