Chapter Twenty-Six: Sympathy
"What's going on inside?" Pothos asked the little girl standing under the porch. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"I don't know." The little girl shook her head a little frightened, "It seems to ...... It was Miss Yingxue who was beaten by her father...... "It's really scary......
Su Jinchen glanced at the pothos, and hurriedly lifted the hem of his skirt and walked in quickly.
In the hall, Du Yingxue was lying on the ground in embarrassment, she was covering one cheek, her hair was a little messy, and the makeup on her face had already been spent, "Since you think I'm a broom star of my brother and mother, why didn't you strangle me to death in the first place!" I didn't have to come into this world to suffer so many sins! As he spoke, he became more and more sorrowful, and began to weep bitterly.
"Damn, what have you been guilty of!" A middle-aged man who had made a fortune scolded and said, "You don't fool Lao Tzu here!" This place is served with good food and drink, and silver is given every month...... You can't eat at home, you don't even want to spit it out, you little prostitute with a black heart and rotten intestines, aren't you afraid of five thunders in the sky! β
The more the man talked, the more angry he became, dragged Du Yingxue up from the ground, waved her hand and wanted to hit her again.
"Stop!" Su Jinchen snorted coldly, and the green pothos who was traveling with him quickly ran over and protected Du Yingxue from his hands.
Su Jinchen was born in a famous family, and although he is now down, the demeanor of everyone on his body is still there, and he frightened Du Yingxue and her father for a while.
He laughed twice and said embarrassedly, "I don't know if this young lady isβ"
"You're Daddy Du," Su Jinchen asked calmly, "I don't know what Yingxue did wrong to make you so angry-"
Du Yingxue's father was just about to speak, when he heard Su Jinchen's words, "But no matter what she does, there are teachers and stewards of the Oriole Pavilion to punish her, how dare you do it yourself?" Besides, we eat with our faces, you gave her a slap, if you hurt her face and delay the entertainment in the house, can you afford this responsibility? ! β
The man was stunned at first, and then reacted to the fact that the woman in front of him with outstanding looks and extraordinary bearing was just a concubine of the Chen Mansion like his daughter, and his tone suddenly became arrogant again, "What kind of thing are you, I care about my own daughter, it's your business?!" β
"Of course it's okay for you to take care of your own daughter," Su Jinchen glanced at him with contempt and sneered, "But are you sure this girl is still yours?" When you exchanged her for fifty taels of silver, did you think she was your daughter? Su Jinchen's eyes were as cold as ice, and he saw Father Du's body tremble instinctively, "Since people have been sold into the Chen Mansion, it is the Chen family's business to beat or scold, how can you be allowed to shout here like a scoundrel in the market!" β
"You-" Daddy Du blocked his chest in one breath, and he couldn't talk about her, and spat on the ground hatefully, "You don't talk nonsense with Lao Tzu!" He said, pointing hatefully at Du Yingxue behind Su Jinchen, "You hurry up and give Lao Tzu money!" Otherwise, Lao Tzu went to ask for the grace of his wife, and now he will take you and sell you to the kiln! β
Su Jinchen was stunned.
"Don't you just want money?!" While comforting Du Yingxue, Luluo angrily pulled off the hairpin on her head, took off a pair of earrings, and threw them on the ground hatefully, "Take it!" β
Daddy Du's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly lowered his head and picked up the jewelry, "Damn, I will spare you today, and next time I dare to push three or four, you see how Lao Tzu cleans you up!" β
As he spoke, he ignored everyone's disdainful gaze and walked away with a curse in his mouth.
Only then did Su Jinchen think of seeing how Du Yingxue was.
She leaned on the pothos, her eyes looked blankly at the direction of Daddy Du's departure, "What did I do in my last life, why did I have such a father......" Tears fell down.
Su Jinchen thought of his life experience for a while, and his nose couldn't help but feel a little sour.
"I'm a third-class dancer now, how can I have extra money for him...... The last time I went back, I already took all the valuable jewelry as a ...... But he insisted that I was hiding my private ......," Du Yingxue said in a daze, "I know that you all look down on me and think I'm cheap...... Who doesn't want to be innocent...... But what can I do...... The money he brought home every month was not enough for his wine...... Not to mention the debts he owes...... Without...... If it weren't for the fact that the third young master had been making up for it," she sobbed quietly, "I'm afraid he'll sell me to the kiln early in the morning......"
Although the Chen family is strict, it is also notoriously charitable, if her father really went to ask for the grace of his wife...... Maybe I can even save the money for redemption and let her go directly...... If that time comes......
Su Jinchen shuddered.
She had seen the methods of brothel mothers.
In the eyes of those people, they are not even human beings......
Now is it...... She also wakes up from nightmares from time to time.
The pothos also reddened her eyes.
Su Jinchen silently took out the handkerchief and gently wiped Du Yingxue's tears, "You just want to go back to the third young master so much?" β
Du Yingxue looked at her stunned and nodded slightly. He ...... It's my only hope. β
"But he won't take you." Su Jinchen pointed it out directly.
Even if she could be like her mother...... has been ridiculed and despised all his life, and even the children he gave birth to were looked down upon......
What's the point?
"How could I not know?" Du Yingxue smiled bitterly, "But ...... There's always a fantasy...... If in the future...... Even if it's an outerchamber......"
Su Jinchen frowned.
Outer Chamber...... It's not even as good as the common room in the house.
But everyone has their own ambitions.
"If you haven't thought about that dance yet, I have a way, but whether I can make the third young master change his mind, I'm not sure."
She said lightly.
In fact, until many years later, Su Jinchen was not sure if she had made the right decision at that time - she decided to help Du Yingxue.
