Chapter 3 Don't Forget It
The midwinter in the memories of Sheng Hui's eight years
"Miss, does it hurt, Zhu'er is a little lighter!"
Nanzhu, who is only three years older than Su Wen, even if she is self-contained and sensible, she still can't control her sobbing when she sees her young lady covered with whip marks again, but she is just a slave and maid who speaks softly, so she can only helplessly wipe her tears and gently blow into the wound while applying medicine.
"The master is really ruthless, the young lady is only thirteen years old, how can she bear such a heavy hand?"
"Shut up, don't say any more!"
Yin Suwen struggled to spit out a few words between his lips, which had been closed, and did not allow Nanzhu to complain about himself again. The whip of the evergreen rattan in the family was originally used to punish unscrupulous descendants who violated the family law by doing evil and causing trouble outside, but at this moment, he was punished so severely by his father just because he was greedy for a moment and failed to complete the homework of the "Female Commandment".
Even though it was covered with mint stasis cream, the whip marks on the originally thin skeleton were still quickly red and swollen. This is not the treatment that the eldest daughter of Uehara Mansion should have, and the stubborn appearance of being covered with scars and sweating profusely without saying a word, nor is it the strength that a thirteen-year-old lady should have.
"Originally, just because I forgot to read the book and didn't learn kung fu well, I have to make such a ruthless move every time. You are the master's biological daughter, and you are the pride of the entire Uehara Mansion, why should you suffer such a crime?! ”
If you talk about loyalty, you value your own lady more than Master Yin.
Seeing that Yin Suwen was holding back tears and not speaking, she simply put down the ointment and knelt down half-kneeling, gritted her teeth and said the thoughts that she had already thought about thousands of times in her heart.
"Miss, why don't we run away! Although escaping to beg for a life is not as good as the life in the house, at least you are more comfortable and don't have to be beaten anymore. No matter how bad it is, Zhu'er won't let you starve to death! You have something to say. ”
At that time, Nanzhu didn't understand why Yin Suwen at that time seemed to be a completely different person compared to the original Miss Yin. I just remember that I don't know when it started, this Yin Suwen is no longer the delicate lady in the house who is loved by thousands of people. watched her status in the house plummet, watched her begin to be gradually neglected and abused, watched her cry and ask for help from the beginning, and was unwilling to complain, no longer shout in pain, no longer say more, and never laugh again.
"Enough!"
Yin Suwen got up abruptly and almost knocked Nam-joo to the ground.
"You go out, don't say anything like this in the future, lest you be heard by someone who cares about it."
Go, it's not that she didn't think about it, since she was ten years old when she was whipped for the first time and couldn't sleep all night, she thought about leaving, and thought that her father was afraid that he would no longer love herself. However, this is her home after all, and where can she go without it?
Uehara Mansion City is the capital of the country that has not changed for thousands of years, and it has mastered the lifeblood of the entire military and political throat of the country, and such an important position of the city lord has been held by Yin Suwen's father Yin Yuan since the beginning of the previous old lord's accession to the throne. It can be said that the entire Shangyuan Mansion belongs to the Yin family, or that although Master Yin is only the lord of a city, he is a person who dare not be underestimated by the entire country. Even if they go to heaven and earth, where can the two of them escape to.
In the eyes of others, although Yin Yuan is a noble lord of the mansion, he has always been humble and merciful, generous to others, even treating the miscellaneous servants at home rarely reprimanded, and in the past, he especially loved the eldest daughter under his knees.
Once upon a time, the entire Shangyuan Mansion knew that the most precious person in the Yin Mansion was the smart and beautiful eldest daughter Yin Suwen, I am afraid that in the future, the entire Yin family and the Shangyuan Mansion will belong to the future eldest daughter couple, so that from the time she was just a toddler, the family who came to the door to marry was about to break the threshold of the Yin Mansion.
And there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and the Yin family suddenly changed the sky without warning on a winter solstice. Yin Suwen is no longer the center of the Yin family, and the always generous Master Yin suddenly stopped caring for this eldest daughter and even scolded him harshly, and even claimed that the current Yin Suwen not only has no status in the mansion, but has been whipped and beaten more times.
She can no longer enjoy the free and happy wanton time, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, tea, and female celebrities are all subjects that must be learned and must be mastered, and even the martial arts of the children of the rivers and lakes must learn a few more sets.
These are not boudoir upbringing, but more like established tasks. Yin Suwen was puzzled for a while as to why his former loving father had suddenly changed his temperament. originally thought that it was just because his father had no children under his knees, and he was the eldest daughter in the family, so he was inevitably harsh on himself because of his desire to become a phoenix. Later, until the nightmarish life was three years, until the mother who had always loved her all day long hid in the Buddhist hall and turned a blind eye to herself, and then died quickly, until Yin Xuanxuan, the daughter of Erniang, became more and more beautiful in the house, and even repeatedly bullied herself, she gradually understood: It is wrong to want to be loved. She may not have understood why her family had suddenly changed, but those original love and friendship had long been wiped out.
"Yin Su asked, be strong, be stronger!"
In every difficult minute, she always kept talking to herself like this, in addition to studying desperately, she was desperately practicing martial arts, although she didn't like it, she wasn't good at it, and she didn't understand the point of learning these things, but at least she wouldn't be beaten again.
Slowly, as the days passed, the relatives from all over the house to the subordinates in the house gradually knew that this eldest lady was not as important as it seemed, so they no longer asked for warmth.
She gradually stopped talking, or was too tired to talk anymore. Only Nanzhu will always be there as always, caring for a few words without words, but in exchange for a few simple responses from her nodding and shaking her head.
"It's been surprisingly cold this winter!"
Nanzhu stomped her feet and slammed a few hot breaths into her palms before picking up the already cold charcoal basin and trotting out. Running to the end of the corridor, he still couldn't help but turn his head and look at Yin Su, who had been standing in the courtyard, and asked
"Miss, go back to the house early, you'll freeze to death."
Thin snowflakes began to fall, and Yin Suwen in the middle of the courtyard had no other response except to blow lightly on the snowflakes, and Nanzhu could only shake his head helplessly and run away.
"Is it really that cold?"
The snow deepened, and soon the ground was all covered, and Yin Suwen was the only one in the small courtyard. She kept looking at the sky with a faint look, and muttered her hand, obviously her palm was frozen red, but she didn't feel afraid of the cold.
A few years ago, she was still the delicate lady of the Yin family, she would cry endlessly if she was a little unhappy, and even a small wooden thorn on her finger had to be coaxed by her mother for a long time, but now, it seems that she is really not afraid of anything.
"So be it"
Ten years, twenty years may not make a difference. In that particularly cold winter, she occasionally thinks about the future, but she can only think of this kind of ending.
