Chapter 5: Liu Chuhe, the daughter of the squire
I don't know how long it took, my eyes were hot for a while, and I suddenly felt a chill on my body, and then it spread rapidly, and I shivered, I raised my eyes, and I saw the eldest daughter of the former Shangshu Shilang, Liu Chuhe. I chuckled and said, "Who should I be, what, where did Miss Liu climb the high branch to tie me up?" If you hate me so much, you can't take it...", I looked under her, "This is here to make a deal, right?" β
Just listening to the sound of "pop", I didn't react for a while, I felt a hot pain in my cheeks, I have never been slapped in the mouth by a young lady of the Shen Mansion, and where am I a person who is willing to be bullied? It's just that now my hands and feet are tied, and there is no one from Shangshu Mansion, so I have to endure it first. I don't like to bully people, but others don't want to bully me, I, Shen Qinghuan, have always been eager to repay me, but I don't know who I look like at this point?
"Shen Qinghuan, this is not your Shangshu Mansion, put your mouth clean for me." Liu Chuhe said to me indignantly.
I looked at her, she was born very beautiful, but, her face, since I was a child, until now I still can't get used to it, I will only be disgusting, if it weren't for A-Niang's teaching, and I was born not to like to find trouble, to embarrass others, even if it is not pleasing to the eye, it will only be held in the heart, will not be revealed.
"Am I wrong? Blatantly tied up Miss Shangshufu, stunned the Lord of Shangshufu, Mrs. Shangshufu, and broke into Shangshufu, any of which is a capital crime committed below, I don't know your nature? Even if you are given the courage to do so, you don't dare, unless someone is willing to help you, where in the world will there be such a good thing that people will help you for no reason? And I, who think I have offended, are very few, unlessβ" I looked at her face, my eyes full of frivolity.
She seemed to be thinking about it by me, her face as clean as jade turned slightly red, and she shouted to the servant in the distance: "Come on, give me a palm, and the palm will be held until Miss Ben shouts to stop." "I didn't panic much, and I could say that I had expected her to do it. I looked at the oncoming maid, but I felt that the face seemed to have seen somewhere, and suddenly, my heart trembled, isn't this the maid I hit today? Really......
I regret it, I knew this was the case, I should have been more careful, and I wouldn't have slapped people here.
I thought to myself, even if I don't speak now, I still have to give a palm, it's better to say a few more words, maybe Liu Chuhe will be afraid? I relied on myself that I had no way out, and said: "Liu Chuhe, aren't you afraid, you are in charge of me now, and when I go out, will I return it to you doubly?" I thought I could scare Liu Chuhe, but I saw Liu Chuhe with a smile on his face: "You won't go out, besides me, there are people who want you to die more than me." β
I have to say that I was really scared when I heard this, but I quickly came back to my senses and wanted me to die, how easy is it to say? I haven't reached the position I want yet, I can't die, I told myself, Shen Qinghuan, your life is precious, how can you die in the hands of this group of beast-like people?
As the servant's hand slapped me in the face, "No." "There was a woman's voice outside the door, like a clear spring, soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and as the slight footsteps drew nearer, the door was opened, and the wind blew my eyes mixed with some dust, so that I had to squint my eyes slightly, and then open them.
A woman in a pink dress, with beautiful willow eyebrows, like the smoke and rain of the autumn mountains, appeared in front of me, if I guessed correctly, it was the second daughter of Shangshu Shilang, Liu Yi.
She glanced at me, then turned her gaze to Liu Chuhe, bowed slightly, and said: "Sister Liu, what the person in the envelope said, just ask us to arrest Shen Qinghuan, and didn't say that we want to use torture, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to use torture privately, or wait for him to deal with it, isn't it more secure?" Liu Chuhe really likes to slap people's mouths, and then, with a "snap", hit Liu Yi's white face as white as snow, and quickly dyed five slender handprints.
"Presumptuous, where is your turn to speak here? Inappropriate? Let me teach that man a lesson, what is wrong with this person who does not know the depths? After Liu Chuhe finished speaking, he gave me a backhand slap. When did I suffer this kind of bullying? I clenched my fists, held back the tears that had already been emitted in my eyes, and swore viciously in my heart that I would not avenge this revenge and swear that I would not be a man.
Liu Chuhe said that, and said to the servant next to him, "Give me a palm." β
The servant, like her lackey, began to raise her hand and slap me in the face with such force that at the first blow my teeth met my tongue, and a salty smell spread out to my mouth. Then Liu Chuhe looked at Liu Yi, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Don't leave yet?" Do you want to watch here? Then you show me well, pay attention to me next time, otherwise her fate will be your fate. Liu Yi didn't answer her, just looked at me, and most of her eyes were full of pity. The strength increased time each time, and in addition to feeling the burning pain in my face and the blood from my lips being fanned, my brain was buzzing and thinking, blank, and dizzy.
I really don't know how long she was rewarded with this "reward".
"Stop." Liu Chuhe played with his green silk and shouted, and the servant immediately stopped. Liu Chuhe walked slowly towards me, first lifted my chin with her fingertips, pinched my chin very hard with her fingertips, and forced me to look at her, I stared at her eyes, not sad or happy, and her eyes showed mostly arrogance, she said: "Next time, if your mouth is still so unclean, it is not as simple as this time." I struggled to spit out the words from between my mouth: "There is no distinction between respect and inferiority, if the emperor knows, I see that you, as well as the scholar and the servant, will be given the death penalty, and then I will definitely return to you ten times the injury and humiliation I have suffered today." β
Liu Chuhe laughed as if he had heard a big joke: "Hahaha.... Knowing by the emperor? Impossible, let me tell you Shen Qinghuan, you don't want to get out of here alive in your life. β
I don't know who I have offended, our Shen family, treat people with courtesy and morality, there is no possibility of an enemy at all, except for Shangshu Shilang.
Thinking back to today's Donggong Prince's sudden arrival at the mansion, although I guess that he must have wanted to take something from the Shen Mansion, although I don't know why he came to the mansion, but he must have wanted something. Presumably, the person who Liu Chuhe said about the letter must be a person from the imperial power and nobility of the imperial court, or... That's someone I don't want to think about, although the crown prince has already been selected now, but occasionally Daddy returns to the house, and when he is eating, he can also hear the current situation in the court, which is chaotic. The second prince, the third prince and the wolf son's ambitions, but they were born to the Zhaoning concubine who is favored by the saint today, Zhaoning concubine has great power, and the saint can't listen to what the good ministers say, and the ministers of the court can only turn a blind eye, fortunately, the second prince and the third prince have not been given the position of the crown prince, have no real power, and cannot set off any big waves.
It's just that our Shen Mansion doesn't hide any letters, plotting against the imperial court, or the military, we never interfere.
Could it be that Daddy and the rest of the people are plotting some things in the court, it's not that I don't want to believe that Daddy will do it, it's just that I know Daddy's personality. He is single-minded for good, wrong is wrong, right is right, and he is upright.
I came back to my senses and said with a smile: "I, Shen Qinghuan, have a great fortune in this life, and you want me to die?" Liu Chuhe, do you think, is it possible? β
Liu Chuhe was about to raise his hand and slap me again, but he was put aside, from just now, Liu Yi, who had never spoken, stopped him, Liu Chuhe was about to scold, but Liu Yi took the first step and said: "Sister Liu, Shen Qinghuan has already been beaten like this, look at her face, how dirty, if you continue to fight like this, you will definitely dirty your hands." β
After I heard this, I laughed in my heart, no wonder, it is rumored that the second daughter of Shangshu Shilang, Liu Yi, has a sweet mouth and a smart heart, and when I saw that this was the case today, I watched Liu Chuhe, who did not have much talent, being coaxed around.
Liu Chuhe was about to speak, but saw a servant coming in a panic, knelt down, and said, "Eldest Miss, Second Miss, distinguished guests from the house, lord and madam, tell you to come over quickly." After hearing this, Liu Chuhe glanced at me contemptuously: "Count it your good luck this time, when I come back, if I see that your mouth is still so unclean, what you have tasted is not such a small injury as today." β
I sneered a few times and replied disdainfully: "This mouth is not clean, but it is not up to you to decide." β
"You! Liu Chuhe was about to take a few steps forward, but was stopped by Liu Yi again, Liu Yi said urgently: "Sister Liu, it's not early, we have been delayed a lot by coming and going, if we don't go over, I'm afraid Daddy, Auntie should be blamed." β
After Liu Chuhe heard this, he glared at me viciously, and went out with Liu Yi, the door closed with a "bang", and I suddenly felt a sense of loneliness in my heart, and then I realized that when I got up, my face hurt more and more.
For some reason, I missed Ah Che more and more, and I held back my tear ducts that were about to collapse, and told myself that I was not a well-meaning person, and I couldn't cry.
