Chapter Twenty-Five: A Tragic Background
Although in the fight just now, this big official who likes to shout did admit it, but afterwards he still felt that he had lost face and wanted to say a few more cruel words to save his respect.
"We're not done with today's matter! I'm going to lose to you entirely because I let you, otherwise it's up to you with your three-legged cat kung fu...... How can you knock me down?" the big official staggered to his feet, his back covered in blood, and dyed the only piece of cloth left on his back red, "You wait for me! See if you have good fruit to eat!" said the big official mercilessly.
Before Zhao Yuan could say anything, the big official quickly turned around and fled the scene with lightning speed.
The passers-by who were watching also muttered a few words and left, and gradually, the prosperous street returned to its lively and harmonious atmosphere.
The mood of the group was obviously a little unhappy by this sudden incident, so Ye Yu'er pursed her mouth, took Zhao Ling'er and Zhao Yuan to leave here and return to the mansion.
The speed of going back this time was very fast, maybe everyone was resentful, and there was nothing to say, just walking quickly.
It's just that Ye Yu'er muttered a few words to Zhao Yuan: "That official actually has a big identity background, so if you provoke him like this, I'm afraid there will really be trouble......
"What are you afraid of. Zhao Yuan said disdainfully, his eyelids drooping, "A playboy like him will only harass women all day long, living a luxurious life, and he is simply not worthy of living in the world!"
Ye Yu'er pursed her lips, and then didn't say anything anymore, just quickened her pace, wanting to return to the mansion as soon as possible.
After a while, the group arrived near the mansion, and saw a familiar man and woman standing in front of the mansion from a distance. The guards stopped the two of them and did not allow them to enter.
Ye Yu'er looked hard, and after seeing her face clearly, she frowned, feeling faintly uneasy in her heart.
When the three of them got closer, they determined that the men and women standing in front of the mansion were the big officials and the woman. Zhao Yuan smacked his lips and sneered, and then wanted to step forward to deal with it.
"I didn't expect you to come with a really shy face. Zhao Yuan sneered, "I thought that a big official like you would humbly accept guidance regardless of his past suspicions, but I didn't expect it to be a mediocre official." ”
The big official glared at Zhao Yuan viciously, and then shouted at the mansion. The big official deliberately raised his voice and raised his voice very high to let the lord know.
The old man heard a strange noise outside the house, so he hurried out to check. When the old man pushed open the door, he found Zhao Yuan standing in front of the door arguing, coughing gently, signaling everyone not to speak yet.
"What?"
"Heh, it's this man in front of you, he humiliates me in front of everyone! He's also from your Ye Mansion, right? I have to say something today!" the big official said angrily.
Hearing this, the old man looked at Zhao Yuan in amazement, and then said to the big official in disbelief: "Are you sure it was the benefactor who did it?"
"It's not him, who else! Look at this bloody wound on my back, look at it!" the big official turned around, and a large scarlet scar on his back was exposed, and he came out.
"No! Obviously, he teased this girl! and hooked up with Ling'er! Zhao Yuan just ......," Ye Yu'er explained anxiously.
"Enough. The old man shouted angrily.
"Today's benefactor hurt you, even if I Ye owe you a favor, I am here to apologize. The old man slowly bent down and bowed deeply.
"Dad, what are you doing?!" Ye Yu'er roared angrily.
"But don't think that's it, let's settle the account for your hookup with my benefactor, how about it?" the old man smiled slightly, and asked the big official grimly.
The big official was immediately so frightened that his legs and feet went limp, and he hastily said a few words of greeting, and then withdrew, leaving the girl where she was.
The old man sighed deeply, and then entered the mansion, leaving a sentence as he left - "Deal with this girl." ”
After the old man left, the girl immediately knelt down and said to Zhao Yuan and his party gratefully: "Thank you! Thank you for saving me, otherwise...... I'm probably going to be given ...... by him Thank you!"
Zhao Yuan said mercilessly: "This matter still has to reflect on yourself, if you don't go around the Red Mansion every day, that big official won't take a fancy to you." ”
Speaking of the sensitive word "Red Mansion", the girl lowered her head as if she had suffered a thunderbolt from the sky, and the flowing water slowly flowed.
"Don't say that, people also have difficulties!" Zhao Ling'er pushed Zhao Yuan, signaling him to stop talking. Then, Zhao Linger stepped forward, slowly patted the girl's back, helped her up, and asked for a good question.
"Actually, I don't want to go to that filthy place...... "My mother died when she gave birth to me, and I was brought up by my father alone. Just a few days ago, he suddenly fell ill, very seriously ill......"
Speaking of this, the girl's tears poured out like a dam had burst. Tears soaked the hem of the girl's clothes.
"Then why don't you find a doctor to show your father?" Ye Yu'er asked questions, but she thought about it and felt that she shouldn't ask this kind of question......
"No money, really no money...... I used all my savings to find Lang Zhong to heal my father. But he told me that it was useless, no matter how much money there was...... the girl held back her tears and adjusted her breathing and said, "My father died a few days ago, and the family has no money to bury him, so I have to go to that kind of dirty place and earn money to bury him......"
The crowd was silent.
"There's really no other way for me...... Before I could do my filial duty, he was gone, and I couldn't even send him on his way......" The girl looked at the moon in despair, but a dark cloud obscured it, and no light shone down.
"I feel very sympathetic for what happened to you, you are a good daughter! Why don't you come to the house to be a maid, the salary will definitely not be less!" Ye Yu'er smiled lightly and slowly stretched out her hand to the girl.
"Is this really good...... the girl raised her head to look at Ye Yu'er, her messy broken hair was densely covered on her forehead, and the tear stains were very obvious.
"Of course you can! I think if you go to that kind of place, even if you make a lot of money and successfully send him away safely, I think he will be dissatisfied! Promise me, you must protect yourself and what you belong to as a girl!"
