Chapter Thirty-Eight: Don't Have to, Stay Useful

He Wenran and He Wenying didn't understand how Zhang Yuanyuan could have such a good relationship with Shen Yafei.

Since Zhang Yuanyuan came in with Shen Yafei, the topic has revolved around her.

But Zhang Yuanyuan was asking, and Shen Yafei was answering. And they all asked some things about Shen Yafei's previous life and whether she was suitable for her after returning to Beijing, and they were all concerned about some girlfriends.

Zhang Yuanyuan was very keen to express her concern for Shen Yafei, but Shen Yafei's reaction was faint, and Zhang Yuanyuan asked and she answered the whole process. Shen Yafei's answer was very refreshing, but she didn't say too much, and she wasn't as enthusiastic as Zhang Yuanyuan.

Zhang Yuanyuan saw that Shen Yafei reacted lightly, and she felt bored when she asked. But friends who have been separated since childhood and haven't seen each other for more than ten years are difficult to return to the intimacy they had when they were children. Therefore, Zhang Yuanyuan soon didn't know what to ask, Zhang Yuanyuan didn't speak, and the He sisters didn't make a sound. For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward.

"Sister Fei'er hasn't seen my mother yet, has she? Sister He also came to me directly today, and she didn't go to see my mother, so let's go to my mother's yard to sit together. When Sister Fei'er didn't come yet, my mother was thinking about you every day. But knowing that your family has a lot of things, we can't come to the door to disturb. I didn't expect you to come here by yourself today. Zhang Yuanyuan thought for a moment and then proposed.

So, the three of them set off to go to Zhang Yuanyuan's mother's yard, and on the way they happened to bump into Zhang Yuanyuan's brother Zhang Yuanquan, who was accompanied by an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy He Shengren.

"Brother, Gongzi He." Zhang Yuanyuan greeted the two.

"Zhang Gongzi, brother." The two sisters of the He family also greeted the two.

Shen Yafei bowed slightly to the two.

"Who is this sister?" Zhang Yuanquan looked at Shen Yafei curiously, he didn't hear that anyone's daughter was coming to visit today, and he didn't see her when the He family brothers and sisters came in the morning, it seems that she had just arrived. She looked good, and her face was a little familiar, but he was sure he hadn't seen her.

He Shengren also saw Shen Yafei, she hadn't seen Shen Yafei for a few days, but she didn't expect that after the ceremony, her face had a little more maturity, which made her little face look more and more charming. He Shengren narrowed his eyes and raised his chin slightly, as if there was a girlish fragrance in the air. He Shengren took a deep breath greedily and couldn't help rolling the Adam's apple, it was so fragrant!

This time, Zhang Yuanyuan did not introduce Shen Yafei to her brother, and everyone waited to see how Shen Yafei introduced herself.

"Shen Yafei has seen two sons, and the sons are polite." Shen Yafei said calmly.

"Oh." Zhang Yuanquan raised his eyebrows, "So this is the sister of the Shen family?" No wonder I feel familiar. Miss Shen Er is still as good-looking as she was when she was a child. Seeing such a good-looking sister, I should have guessed that it was Sister Shen. ”

"Zhang Gongzi praised it." Shen Yafei lowered her head and smiled shyly.

"Sister Shen doesn't need to be so outside, when you were a child, you called me Brother Quan. Why is it so unfamiliar to call Zhang Gongzi now, Sister Shen still calls me Brother Quan the same as when she was a child. Zhang Yuanquan teased.

"Zhang Gongzi, this is not in line with etiquette." Shen Yafei didn't see the ridicule in his eyes.

Zhang Yuanquan saw that she insisted, so he didn't force it anymore, anyway, he was just talking. However, Shen Yafei's calm and decent reaction was beyond his expectations, not at all like the vulgar and rude rumors outside.

"Sister, where are you going?" Zhang Yuanquan asked Zhang Yuanyuan.

"I'm taking Sister Shen and Sister He to see my mother." Zhang Yuanyuan said.

"Oh, then you go, I won't be with you." Zhang Yuanquan leaned sideways and gave way.

Zhang Yuanyuan took Shen Yafei and the others to retire and leave. When walking past them, the back of Shen Yafei's hand was suddenly rubbed by something, Shen Yafei turned her head and saw He Shengren put his hand to his mouth, added his fingertips with his tongue, and looked at Shen Yafei ambiguously. Shen Yafei suddenly felt the back of her hand tingling, and a sour taste welled up from her stomach.

"Miss." Dabao saw that the breath on Shen Yafei's body suddenly deepened completely, his lowered eyes were fierce, and the hand that grabbed her suddenly exerted force, and the nails did not enter her wrist flesh, making her thick hand skin a little painful. She had never seen Shen Yafei's appearance before, and she couldn't help but whisper worriedly.

Shen Yafei didn't respond to her, just dragged her hand and followed behind Zhang Yuanyuan, walking forward quickly, Dabao was even more worried.

He Shengren saw Shen Yafei's back as if someone was chasing after him, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened. The fingertips seemed to be still on the tender skin, and there was still the unique fragrance of the girl's body, He Shengren felt that his body was a little hot, and he couldn't help licking his lips.

Zhang Yuanquan saw his friend's lustful look, glared at him warningly, and reminded him: "Don't mess around, there is the Shen family behind her." "This friend of his, who is good at everything, is too good a woman, he knows his friend very well, as long as it is the girl he fancies, he must get it.

He Shengren's face returned to normal, and he turned back to the handsome noble son just now. He knew what Zhang Yuanquan meant, but he never couldn't get his hands on it. There was an unknown light in He Shengren's eyes, Miss Shen Er's reaction just now made him even more interested in her, she seemed to have just returned to Beijing for a short time, how could she be so afraid of him, or hate him?

After He Shengren realized that Shen Yafei might have hatred for him, he felt that things were even more interesting.

Shen Yafei's mind was full of pictures of He Shengren licking his fingertips, so she followed Zhang Yuanyuan to the courtyard of Zhang Yuanyuan's mother Liu Liyun, she was still in a trance, and she was also absent-minded in answering Mrs. Zhang's question.

"Fei'er, are you uncomfortable?" Liu Liyun saw Shen Yafei's expression of confusion when she answered the question, and asked with concern.

"yes, I haven't had a good break lately." Shen Yafei suddenly came back to her senses, and after hearing Liu Liyun's question clearly, she hurriedly spoke.

"You've been here for a long time today, so why don't you go back first." Liu Liyun said with a smile.

"Okay." Shen Yafei said.

"You don't have to worry too much about the rumors outside, your father and your mother will help you deal with it. You can rest assured. Liu Liyun patted the back of Shen Yafei's hand distressedly. She felt that Shen Yafei's soul must be like this because she heard bad rumors outside. But also, those rumors are so ugly, let alone Shen Yafei, a little girl, even she can't bear it.

"I know, thank you, Aunt Liu." Shen Yafei said with a reluctant smile.

Liu Liyun sighed, she also knew Shen Yafei's situation in the Shen family, with her understanding of her friend Mrs. Shen, as long as Mrs. Shen had determined before, it would be difficult for her to change it in the future. Mrs. Shen's bad impression of Shen Yafei was formed more than ten years ago, and now no matter what Shen Yafei does, she can't shake Mrs. Shen's inner opinion. Now that Shen Yafei is in trouble, Mrs. Shen will only help maintain and deal with it outside at most, and she will no longer be willing to bother to care about Shen Yafei when she returns to the Shen Mansion. Her brothers and sisters didn't like Shen Yafei more than ten years ago, so no one in the Shen Mansion would care about Shen Yafei's feelings, and she could only bear everything by herself. Liu Liyun also felt sorry for this little girl, but she was not her mother, and she couldn't do anything for her, at most she could only say a few words of comfort, and she was afraid that she couldn't fill the vacancy in her heart.

Shen Yafei took Dabao out of Zhang's mansion.

In the carriage, Dabao covered Shen Yafei with a cloak and asked with concern, "What happened to Miss just now?" ”

Hearing Dabao's question, Shen Yafei's body shook again, and she remembered her previous life:

In her previous life, after Shen Yafei was expelled from the Shen family, she was put into a brothel for secret resale. Once, it changed hands to He Shengren.

At that time, she didn't know much about He Shengren, and she knew his information from other people's mouths. People outside say that although He Shengren is a playboy, he is a talented and literate playboy who treats his lover very gently. Therefore, Shen Yafei was still very happy when she learned that she was bought by He Shengren.

But many of the rumors in the world are just rumors. After Shen Yafei was bought by He Shengren, he was taken by his subordinates to a compound not far from the capital, and when he entered it, he found that the compound was full of women except for the guards. The person in charge of the courtyard was a middle-aged grandmother with a stout body and a fierce face. The others were the same as Shen Yafei, who were specially collected by He Shengren from the outside to serve him, ranging in age from nine to thirty-five years old, all living on the first floor of the largest room in the courtyard, which was at least more than five hundred zhang. There were a lot of people in the room, and Shen Yafei still felt incredible, not knowing where He Shengren got so many people.

Next to the big room, there was a large bathhouse and a large dining room, and they spent all the time in that big room, except for eating and leaving. The second floor is where He Shengren stays every time he comes, and he will stand by the guardrail on the second floor every time and choose who he wants from below. After the election, Mama will lift the person up, and then go directly to the second floor to do things. There is no soundproofing on the floor, and those who have just come will tremble when they hear the frightened cries of the people above, and those who have been here for a long time have long been used to hearing numbness.

Fortunately, the people who just came in will let Mama train for ten days before they will be released to serve He Shengren. Therefore, Shen Yafei did not understand how He Shengren treated the people on the second floor, because she was taken away from the compound within a few days of her coming in. However, Mama's training is not much better. Every day, I was beaten by a few grandmothers with a whip soaked in salt water in my underwear, and I didn't scream until I screamed, and I screamed too quietly until I made you louder, but I still got beaten if I was too loud. I heard that He Shengren likes that they are covered with scars, as long as their faces are smooth and flawless, and their requirements for voices are also particularly perverted.

Those who didn't survive in Mama's hands, or those who shouted hoarsely, or stayed numb and dull for a long time, or stayed on the first floor for a long time and passed their age, they would be thrown into another big room in the most desolate and remote part of the compound. But in that room there was no bathhouse, no dining hall, and no place to relieve hands, and the people there could only enter and exit. The first thing they did when they entered the compound was to be taken to visit the place, and they could smell the stench coming from it two miles away, and the people inside were even more miserable, so hungry that even their eyes were dry.

In that compound, not only did I have to worry about going to the second floor every day, but I also had to worry about being thrown into the big room at the end of the compound. There is no hope every day, except panic is fear.

Shen Yafei trembled when she thought about it, her heart seemed to be entangled by something, and her breathing hurt.

"Miss!" Dabao caught Shen Yafei's crumbling body, was startled by the coldness of her body, hurriedly fed her a pill, and shouted worriedly.

Shen Yafei felt the warmth on Dabao's body, kept drilling into her arms, her heart recovered, and Shen Yafei exhaled heavily.

After the temperature on Shen Yafei's body recovered, the person was already asleep.

When she arrived at the Shen Mansion, Dabao carried her back to the Summer Palace.

Zhiyu saw Shen Yafei lying in Dabao's arms in a delirium, her brows furrowed, she reached out to probe her pulse, and looked at Dabao reproachfully.

After Dabao put Shen Yafei back in the room, he told Zhiyu what he encountered today. She didn't know why Shen Yafei became like this. She knew that Shen Yafei's concentration had always been very good, and she was not easy to scare her. After following her for so many years, she knew that Shen Yafei would only be afraid when she thought of the experience of Poison Yan Valley. I didn't encounter anything in Zhang's Mansion today, how did it become like this?

After listening to Dabao's description, Zhiyu quickly found the root cause, "So Miss only became like this when she saw Zhang Gongzi and He Gongzi?" ”

"Hmm." Great treasure jaw head.

"Alright, I'll go out and come back before sunset. Don't leave Miss's room until I come back, and don't let anyone in. "Zhiyu and Dabao instructed.

Dabao nodded, giving her a reassuring look.

When Zhiyu came back, Shen Yafei had already woken up, and after seeing Shen Yafei's face as usual, Zhiyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Yafei saw her nervous look and smiled, "This is coming back from outside again?" ”

"Hmm." Zhiyu sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, poured a cup, and put the teacup down, "I'm going to find Zhiyan." ”

Shen Yafei understood what Zhiyu didn't say, and Zhiyu was afraid that after she said it, she would be as uncomfortable as when she came back in the morning.

Therefore, Shen Yafei broke it up by herself, "Investigate He Shengren." Shen Yafei understood her, there was no doubt, and her tone was affirmative.

Zhiyu nodded.

"Do you want to deal with him?" Zhiyu asked.

"No, you don't." Shen Yafei remembered Zhang Yuanyuan and Liu Liyun's concern for her today, her apricot eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, and said with a smile: "Keep it, it's useful." ”

In her previous life, she was taken out without staying in He Shengren's compound for a few days, so she did not treat He Shengren as an object of revenge after waking up in her life. After seeing He Shengren today, she remembered that she had experienced such a terrible thing in her previous life. It just so happened that the enemy himself sent it to the door.

The next day, it was just dawn.

Zhang Yuanyuan sent someone to deliver a post, saying that he would invite her to go to the Guanshan in the capital and pick her up in the Shen Mansion an hour later.

Shen Yafei was helped by Zhiyu and Ali to dress her up.

"Miss, do you want me to accompany you?" When Ali learned that Shen Yafei only brought Dabao alone, she thought that she would follow as well. Since she came back from the palace, the young lady has not taken her with her when she goes out.

"No, it's not a long way to go. What do you do with so many people in town? Getting in the way. Shen Yafei refused without hesitation.

"Why don't I go too? One more person, a good response to a situation. Zhiyu hesitated for a long time, still a little worried in his heart, and after Ali went out, he whispered in Shen Yafei's ear.

"No, you stay in the Summer Palace. There's another trouble for you to keep an eye on. Don't worry, there is Dabao, but you are still not at ease with Dabao's ability? Picking a few men in the capital is not Dabao's opponent, and besides, I'm just going out with women now, so there's nothing to worry about. Shen Yafei said.

Zhiyu looked embarrassed, that being said, but what if? However, she didn't dare not listen to Shen Yafei's words, so she could only reluctantly agree.

"The Summer Palace will be handed over to you." Before going out, Shen Yafei patted Zhiyu's shoulder.

"Miss, are you going out?" Mama Wei heard that Shen Yafei was going out again, today was the second day she came to Shen Mansion, and yesterday she said that she would be familiar with Shen Mansion, and she was familiar with it. It was supposed to be class the next day, but I didn't expect Shen Yafei to go out again, and Mama Wei was a little displeased.

"yes. I promised them two days ago. Shen Yafei knew that Mama Wei would not approve of her going out, so she directly blocked her with words. I promised others before, I can't regret it temporarily, I can't be untrustworthy, at least in the etiquette she knows, she can't do it.

Mama Wei is here to teach Shen Yafei the etiquette of receiving people and things, so if Shen Yafei does not keep her promise, she naturally can't do such a thing, so she has to watch Shen Yafei walk away.

Outside the gate of the Shen Mansion, a carriage was parked behind Zhang Yuanyuan, and Zhang Yuanyuan stood in front of the carriage and anxiously probed into the gate of the Shen Mansion.

When she saw Shen Yafei come out, she immediately smiled, "Sister Fei'er." ”

"Sister Yuanyuan." Shen Yafei walked up to Zhang Yuanyuan.

"Sister Phil will ride in the same carriage with me. You don't have to send a car anymore. Zhang Yuanyuan said to Shen Yafei.

"No, if you don't send a carriage, and Sister Yuanyuan will send it when you come back, wouldn't it be too troublesome." Shen Yafei said with a smile that it was too inconvenient for her to move without a carriage.

"What, Sister Fei'er is still afraid that I will throw you in the mountains and leave by myself?" Zhang Yuanyuan laughed at her.

"Sister, don't say it, I'm really afraid." Shen Yafei also said with a smile.

Zhang Yuanyuan listened to Shen Yafei's straightforward words, and then looked at her starry eyes that were clear at a glance, and couldn't tell whether Shen Yafei was a joke or the truth just now. Zhang Yuanyuan's smile froze on his lips and froze.

Although Shen Yafei still relied on Zhang Yuanyuan and rode in the same carriage with her, she still let the Shen family's carriage follow behind.

It's summer, but it's still early summer, and the chill of spring hasn't completely dissipated. The temperature on the mountain is lower than the temperature below, so many flowers have not withered. Shen Yafei and the others walked up the mountain, and they saw many spring flowers along the way.
