Chapter 178: Slavery
After sending Situ Huai Decision away, Qu Miaoling asked Cao Ye to bring him up, and she wanted to talk to him.
She still admires this Cao Ye very much, if he can use it for himself, it will be a good chess piece.
With such thoughts, Cao Ye was brought to himself.
Because he was a fugitive slave, the treatment given to him was not good.
When he was escorted that day, the man was in tatters, and now he looked even more ragged.
Qu Miaoling couldn't help frowning, and shouted in a low voice: "What did you do, did I let you bully him?" β
The two people who pressed Cao Ye hurriedly knelt down and shouted loudly: "The slave doesn't dare, and the slave is also obedient to orders." β
"Obey?" Qu Miaoling sneered, "Whose life is it to listen to?" β
"Naturally, I obeyed the orders of the eldest lady."
"When did I order you to put Cao Ye in prison?"
There is a dark building in the Hou Mansion, which has always been used to imprison disobedient minions and maids.
At that time, Qu Miaoling didn't speak, so they took it upon themselves to send Cao Ye there.
Escaping was a heinous crime, and they cut off Cao Ye's food and water according to the rules of the palace, and let him stay in a small dark cell for three days in order to kill his spirit.
Hearing Qu Miaoling's words, Cao Ye was also shocked, he still knew his identity, he was just a slave, he didn't need the master's family to be so kind to him, this woman even scolded two subordinates for him, which made her even more puzzled.
But since his family fell into the middle of the road, he no longer dared to trust others, especially this woman was still the daughter of a big family, who knew what she was hiding in her heart, so Cao Ye was a little grateful in his heart, but his face was cold.
It looks like the six relatives don't recognize the wolf's heart and dog's lungs.
Qu Miaoling couldn't help but snicker when she looked at Cao Ye's expression that she thought she was hiding well.
This Cao Ye is quite fun.
Interesting.
It's not in vain that she thinks so highly of him.
"No need for rhetoric, if you want to kill, you can do whatever you want."
At this moment just now, Cao Ye figured out that this woman must want to use something of herself, but now that he is like this, is there anything else that can be used?
Cao Ye thought so, and said coldly.
"Cao Ye, don't you think too highly of yourself." Qu Miaoling threw a bomb over, but no matter what Cao Ye thought in her heart, her tone was sarcastic, as if Cao Ye was a dispensable little person.
This is undoubtedly a huge blow to the arrogant Cao Ye.
I thought that this woman wanted to take advantage of herself. But where could he guess that this was just the kindness of the other party.
He Cao Ye doesn't need kindness.
Cao Ye couldn't help but clench his fists, if it weren't for the fact that there were two servants on his body suppressing him, he was afraid that he would have to jump up and fight Qu Miaoling, even though he was just a weak scholar.
"Tell me, who the hell are you?" Qu Miaoling rolled her eyelids lightly and said casually.
Cao Ye continued to clench his fists, gritting his teeth and not saying a word.
"Cao Ye, did you think something wrong? What I Qu Miaoling want to know, there is nothing that can be hidden from me. β
Is he Qu Miaoling? Cao Ye couldn't help but raise his head and glanced at the woman in front of him.
Sure enough, as rumored by the outside world, she has a gorgeous appearance and a slender figure, and she is a beauty who captivates the country and the city.
But this temper is really weird, and there is no room for speech, not like a woman, but like a bright and upright man.
But none of this mattered, and it wasn't his turn to accuse.
He continued to shut up, taking himself for a dumb man.
Qu Miaoling sneered and said, "Gently, you go and check, what is the secret of this man?" β
Go and go back gently, in Cao Ye's shocked gaze, she said slowly: "Master, this person is the son of Cao Shilang of the household department, his father's corruption was found out, and the whole family was thrown into Dali Temple, because the amount of corruption is huge,
The emperor ordered the execution of their family, but because Cao Ye's mother had saved the queen mother, the emperor's subordinates showed mercy and demoted Cao Ye to a slave, and he was not allowed to enter the court as an official for eternity. β
For the gentle investigation, Qu Miaoling gave a hundred points, concise and powerful, and the useful information was all clear, just looking at Cao Ye's stunned expression, she felt inexplicably happy in her heart.
She wanted to see how handsome this kid was.
was hollowed out by someone, Cao Ye's expression became more and more depressed, and his scattered hair covered his eyebrows, making Qu Miaoling unable to see his expression clearly.
But Qu Miaoling didn't care about this, she just wanted Cao Ye to surrender and surrender to her.
"Master, I also found out that this Cao Ye once had a lover who was talking about marriage, and it was Qian Kewei, the daughter of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites."
"Is the money a little small?" Qu Miaoling couldn't help but repeat it, this person's name sounded very familiar.
"Master, this is the person who helped Wen Qingqian squeeze you together at the banquet last time."
After such a gentle reminder, Qu Miaoling remembered that this woman obeyed the command of others like a fool, and the gun shot the first bird, and Mu Xiu would destroy it in the forest wind, she didn't know this truth at all, not like a young lady, but like a shrew who scolded people at the entrance of the village.
Qu Miaoling sighed twice. looked at Cao Ye with regret.
"Cao Ye, your eyes are not good!"
Listening to these two people talking about his past as if they were talking about it, it was still such an unbearable past, Cao Ye's face became more and more hideous, but he was tied up, and he couldn't do anything, he could only grit his teeth and stare at Qu Miaoling's master and servant.
"Shut up!" Cao Ye shouted loudly.
The next moment, he was kicked hard in the crook of his knee, and there was a sharp pain in his knee when he knelt on the ground, but Cao Ye didn't feel it anymore, and still glared at Qu Miaoling resentfully.
"Okay, very good, keep this look, remember, you used to be the son of the Tobe Shilang, the only bloodline left by the Cao family, the whole family's feud is waiting for you to revenge, do you plan to languish and continue like this?"
It turns out that she is actually motivating herself?
Cao Ye was stunned!
This woman is really extraordinary, Cao Ye said secretly in his heart.
"Your parents died unexpectedly, and your fiancΓ©e married her, do you really not hate or resent in your heart?" Qu Miaoling continued to agitate, knowing Cao Ye had already heard what the other party meant, but he still couldn't help but be immersed in that sad mood.
Yes, he still wants revenge.
But he has already entered the slave status, and it is impossible for him to participate in the scientific examination again for the rest of his life, and it is not easy to take revenge, and the family that framed his father must be powerful, how can he rely on his own strength......
"If you haven't done it yet, you feel like you can't do it, Cao Ye, are you still a man!"
Qu Miaoling shouted loudly, but for Cao Ye, it seemed to be enlightened.
Yes, how did he know that he couldn't do it before he even tried hard? It's a shame that he's a big man and can't compare to a little woman.
After so many years of poetry books, I have read them in vain.
Cao Ye's face turned from red to white, from white to blue, then from blue to purple, and finally back to white under Qu Miaoling's gaze.
Qu Miaoling had seen enough of the palette-like changes in her face, and she said, "As long as you are willing to work hard, I will have a way to eliminate slavery for you." β
Qu Miaoling's words were sonorous and powerful, and Cao Ye's heart was surging when he heard it.
He couldn't help but widen his eyes, and those eyes seemed to say: Can you really do it? Does he really have a chance to continue to participate in scientific expeditions?
