001: You really want me to die
"Madame! Madame is not good! ”
In the deserted courtyard, which seemed a little silent, a pale green figure rushed into the inner room like the wind.
In the humble room, a slender figure sat facing the half-open window, the needle and thread in his hand shuttled freely, and in a short time a lifelike red lotus unfolded on the white silk cloth.
The curtain next to the door was brought out with a jingling sound, which made this quiet small courtyard finally a little more popular.
Outside, the snow was covered in snow, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of snow.
The only old tree in the courtyard was hung with condensed ice crystals, which fell to the ground from time to time, splashing in all directions, smashing out dead leaves hidden by the thick snow.
The woman in the house was not disturbed, but cut the silk thread with scissors, and after making a simple finish, she stopped and took off the embroidered cloth.
When the girl who rushed into the house calmed down, she evoked a faint smile and said, "Look at you like this, what happened to make you so anxious." ”
The woman's face was a little pale because of long-term malnutrition, the originally round little face had thin cheeks sunken inward, a pair of beautiful eyes were blue and black, and it could be seen that she had not slept well for a long time, and her hands holding the embroidered cloth were also thin as wood, and her complexion was like gray, and she could even see the bulging green tendons under the skin.
A plain dress has been washed and white, and her long hair is just casually pulled up with a wooden hairpin, if outsiders see it, it is absolutely hard to believe that this woman is actually the wife of the second son of the dignified Bourne Marquis.
"Madam, those people are too much, they even have the idea of divorce from you, and they want to let that femme fatale woman from Liu Mei enter the Hou Mansion! I just eavesdropped on the mouths of the people on the side of Fu'an Hall, and they ...... They ......"
The little girl wiped her tears, her face was full of resentment and unwillingness, and she stomped her feet in a hurry.
"If it weren't for the master's accident, how could this person from the Bernehou Mansion dare to treat you like this, you are a young lady, if the master knows that you are living like this now, he will definitely settle accounts with them!"
"Taketsuki...... You can't say that out there, for they will always be your masters, no matter what. ”
Shen Ningshuang frowned lightly, but she didn't care about her rude behavior, but she was a little worried that if she said something unscrupulously for outsiders to hear, she would be punished by those people under the pretext.
"Madame...... Miss...... Your life is so miserable......"
Zhuyue looked at her now, and remembered how young lady looked at home before she got married, and suddenly burst into tears.
knew that the people of the Hou Mansion of Bourne were such a down-and-out person, she should not have said good things about the second son of the Hou Mansion back then, otherwise, how could she let her pampered young lady fall to this point today?
"Okay, okay, why are you still crying after so many years?" Shen Ningshuang shook her head helplessly, tidied up the embroidered cloth, and then took it to her and said, "If we can really leave this place, we will go out to find Daddy and them, and our family will continue to live a good life." ”
Zhuyue took the embroidered handkerchief, looked at the delicate embroidery on it, and couldn't help but shed tears.
The young lady who used to be pampered at home and never calmed down to embroider these female red ladies is now in this deep mansion of the Hou Mansion has been worn away from the proud nature of the past.
Even in order to make a living, he had to embroider some silk handkerchiefs and sell them secretly, and the hands that once painted earth-shattering paintings were poked by the sharp needletips many times.
Looking at the haggard face on her wife's face, she really felt sorry for her!
"Alright, let's get out of here and come back early."
Shen Ningshuang saw that she had the urge to cry again, so she couldn't help but sigh lightly and laughed helplessly.
Zhu Yue sniffed, nodded and said, "Then madam, you should also rest early, so as not to hurt your eyes." ”
Shen Ningshuang nodded, and Zhu Yue hurriedly left with the silk handkerchief accumulated during this time.
In the past two years, I don't know how many noble ladies in Kyoto are proud of buying the silk handkerchief embroidered by her young lady, and because of this, even if the dog slaves in the Hou Mansion are greedy for the moon silver of the young lady, their master and servant can also live well.
After the girl left, Shen Ningshuang restrained the smile on her face, looked out the window in a daze, clenched her fists, and her long nails were deeply embedded in her palms.
But she didn't seem to feel the pain in her palm, and just looked out the window at the snow-white.
That person, after all, is she going to divorce her and marry someone else......
Lowering her eyes, the corners of Shen Ningshuang's mouth hooked up a mocking smile.
I think that back then, despite her father's opposition, she insisted on marrying that person as a wife, and entered the Hou Mansion with a dowry of one hundred and twenty units.
But in those days, after her mother's family was angered by the emperor and demoted to the title, her father who doted on her was demoted to other provinces, and she ceased to exist.
greedy for her dowry, drove her to such a remote courtyard, and even brought food more and more harshly, but her husband who treated her wholeheartedly never stepped into this small courtyard.
And today, the words that Zhuyue overheard made her die even more.
Sure enough, that person had never loved her, otherwise how could he have watched her fall to this point?
When it was about to darken, Zhuyue hurried back with two taels of silver, and brought back a little meat by the way, and at this time, the snow outside the house also stopped.
The two grew up together, and although they are nominally master and servant, their private relationship is much better than that of their sisters.
Shen Ningshuang watched Zhuyue holding the chicken leg and gnawing it very fragrantly, and from time to time she showed a silly smile, the corners of her lips were slowly hooked, but she felt sad, as the big girl beside her, she never owed her food, but now she ......
Suddenly, there was a voice outside the small courtyard.
Shen Ningshuang was slightly stunned, and just stood up, she saw the door in the house suddenly kicked open, and a woman with a delicate face walked in, looked at the chicken bones left on their table, and sneered: "It seems that you have a good life." ”
Shen Ningshuang's face turned cold, "What are you doing?" ”
The woman smiled contemptuously, waved her hand, and several people came out behind her.
I saw that they were well-trained to clean up all the things on the table, and then brought the food to the table, and put a pot of wine and two wine glasses.
"Anyway, we were friends before, Shang Nan asked me to prepare some wine and food, which can be regarded as a ride for you." The woman stretched out her slender hand and took a wine glass, poured it, and handed it to her.
Shen Ningshuang looked at the wine handed over in front of her with a faint expression, and suddenly laughed disdainfully: "How dare I drink the wine you served, and besides, I don't want to drink with people like you." ”
The woman's face changed slightly, but she still showed a faint smile: "Look at your temper, even if you have been grinding in this back house for so long, you still haven't changed much." ”
The woman was talking, and suddenly an old woman behind her directly knocked Taketsuki who was standing on the side unconscious.
Hearing only a bang, Taketsuki's head hit the foot of the table, and the whole person fell to the ground.
Shen Ningshuang's face changed: "What are you doing here!" ”
The woman smiled: "Shen Ningshuang, have you ever heard of a saying called toasting and not eating and drinking, I wanted you to go quietly, but why don't you learn to be obedient?" ”
As soon as her words fell, several girls with five big and three thick suddenly rushed over and directly restrained Shen Ningshuang, I don't know who kicked her leg crook, Shen Ningshuang snorted in pain, and was forced to kneel on the ground.
There were bursts of cold air from the cold ground, Shen Ningshuang's face turned pale, and she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.
Sure enough, the next moment, her jaw was suddenly pinched, and a glass of wine was poured directly into her mouth, not caring if she was choked or not.
Shen Ningshuang struggled fiercely, but how could she beat a few girls who were used to doing rough work?
The liquor poured into his stomach made people extremely uncomfortable, and Shen Ningshuang's eyes were red from choking, and he coughed uncomfortably.
"Liu Mei, what the hell do you want to do!"
Shen Ningshuang struggled angrily, only to feel a heart-wrenching pain suddenly coming out of her abdomen, and the whole person couldn't help but tremble.
What came into his ears was Liu Mei's arrogant laughter: "Shen Ningshuang, you also have today, this cup of crane top red, but Shang Nan personally ordered me to feed it to you." If you want to blame your father, you can't be your backer, otherwise, how could you end up like today?! ”
Shen Ningshuang bit her lip tightly, the severe pain made her face distort, and she was powerless to struggle anymore, but the sadness in her heart was even more intense.
Perhaps sensing that she had lost her strength, Liu Mei smiled contemptuously, turned around and left the house.
After a while, several maids and maids also left in a hurry, and the inner room became empty again, and gusts of cold wind blew in from outside the house, and the biting cold seemed to make her whole person become an ice sculpture.
"Set it on fire."
A low and familiar voice came into her ears, Shen Ningshuang's heart sank, and a sense of despair suddenly permeated her chest, her eyes were extremely red, with a palpitating resentment.
Yun Shangnan, it turns out that it's really you, it's really you!
