Chapter 113: The Girl's Pain
After Mrs. Sun went out, Tian Yusheng collapsed on the ground. Zhang Weizhao asked Nanxing and Du Zhong to help her into the inner room to lie on the soft collapse to rest, and went to pour half a cup of hot tea and brought it to her to drink.
Tian Yusheng's hand holding the tea couldn't help trembling, but fortunately, Zhang Weizhao didn't pour it full, so he didn't spill much.
Zhang Weizhao asked Du Zhong to arrange meals, Nanxing stood guard outside the door, and he accompanied Tian Yusheng in the internal consultation room. After Tian Yusheng calmed down a little, she began to tell Zhang Weizhao what happened to her.
Tian Yusheng is the only daughter in the family, both parents died, and she was taken over by her aunt Sun to raise her at the age of ten. She knew that she would act according to the face of the person under the fence, so she acted quietly, well-behaved and pleasant, and hoped that her aunt and uncle could give her a little bit of the love for her cousin and cousin.
According to the law of Dayan, a girl like Tian Yusheng is not qualified to inherit her father's family property after bereavement, but her mother's dowry can be left to her. So when Tian Yusheng came to Lu's house, he brought a lot of assets. But even so, Tian Yusheng's life is still not easy.
The first is that her aunt only has face affection for her, but she is indifferent in private. Even so, my aunt often talked about the grace of nurturing and asked her to be filial.
Two cousins, at every turn, attack her, pull her hair, pinch her face, and even touch her, at first she will tell her aunt, but aunt will only say that she is careful, cousins just joke with her, but she always thinks crookedly, it can be seen that her mind is not right. She secretly cried many times, and when she saw her cousins, she hid away.
The other cousin is still young and relatively easy to get along with. The other uncles also have a few concubines and concubines, who are not usually together and have no contact with her.
Her uncle, Lu Zhensheng, was born in the second class jinshi, was in his forties, and was a scholar in the official household department, and he was very dignified. Lu Zhensheng said everything at home, whether it was his wife, concubine, or children, they all respected and feared him. Lu Zhensheng didn't pay much attention to Tian Yusheng at first, but in the spring of this year, after Tian Yusheng turned fourteen, he found that his uncle was becoming more and more amiable to him.
Lu Zhensheng's attention to Tian Yusheng flattered Tian Yusheng, and he only said that he was diligent and filial and won the favor of his uncle, so he was doubly respectful to his aunt and aunt.
But unexpectedly, one time, when she was making tea for her uncle, her uncle sent away all the subordinates and pressed her on the spring stool in the flower hall. No matter how Tian Yusheng resisted and begged, it was useless, but it made Lu Zhensheng angry, and the two slaps were slapped the face, making Tian Yusheng's eyes glow, dizzy, and no longer have the strength to struggle.
Afterwards, Tian Yusheng returned to his room, started a fever, and lay down for three days and three nights, Sun ignored it, Tian Yusheng wanted to die, but there was a breath in his heart that he couldn't swallow. She is also the daughter of a good family, and when she was a child, she was also the pearl of her father's palm, and later came to the Lu family, and she also brought a lot of money, and she was enough to raise a few hundred of them, if they didn't wait to see her, they would give her a bite to eat at will, and ignore her, why bother to practice her like this? And just like that, she came back to life.
But the nightmare has only just begun. From then on, Lu Zhensheng came to her twice in three days, and when she was happy, he called her a good baby, and if she was not satisfied, he would beat her, twist her, and burn her.
Tian Yusheng had to endure it, hoping that he could grow up quickly and jump out of this fire pit.
Because Lu Zhensheng often summoned her over, she knew more hidden things about Lu Zhensheng. Lu Zhensheng pretended to be a dual cultivator of Confucianism and Taoism, and had a close past with Li Tianshi of Qingyunguan, and often talked about the Tao Te Ching and the Nanhua Sutra with others, flaunting that he had no quarrel with the world and was pure and refined. In private, he built a Dan room, and found a group of virgins to carry out yin and yang double cultivation with him.
When the interest is high, Lu Zhensheng will bring Tian Yusheng to the Dan room and let her dress up as the goddess of Wushan, the other girls as the mountain spirit and flower demon, and himself as the fairy of the cave mansion, wanton and lustful.
Tian Yusheng also got acquainted with the girls who bought it, and listened to them say that there were several Taoist priests in Baiyun Temple, and they would also come to Lu Mansion and insult them in the name of cultivation. It's just that Tian Yusheng is Lu Zhensheng's niece in the end, so he didn't let her go to receive the Taoist priest.
Tian Yusheng endured it day by day, always thinking that when Lu Zhensheng got disgusted, her nightmare would end. As a result, before Lu Zhensheng could dislike her, her eldest cousin Lu Anyuan attacked her again.
To make matters worse, just over a month ago, she found out she was pregnant, and she didn't know who the child's biological father really was.
Tian Yusheng didn't know what was going on when she was pregnant, or the older one among those girls, and when she saw that she was always nauseated, her body shape had changed a little, so she told her.
When Tian Yusheng was just bullied by Lu Zhensheng, the sky had not yet arrived. In the second half of this year, she began to send monthly letters, but she only came twice and there were no more. She was ignorant and didn't know what was going on, and no one had ever taught her before, who knew that she was pregnant.
The news came as a bolt from the blue for her. She knew that there was a girl before, and because she was pregnant, she disappeared and never appeared again. She was afraid that she would face the same result, and she was in a state of panic all day long.
It was the older girl who gave her an idea, saying that now there is a female Taoist doctor Zhaoming Zhenren in the West Garden of the Imperial City, who specializes in helping the weak, and is especially compassionate to women and children, so it is better for you to beg her to take her in, maybe there is still a way to live.
This girl described Zhang Weizhao as a salvation fairy, Tian Yusheng was convinced of her words in despair, and pinned all her hopes on a person she had never met.
It's just that how to go to Zhaoming for help is the biggest problem for her. First, she couldn't get out of the Lu Mansion at all, and second, even if she could escape from the Lu Mansion, she would definitely not be able to enter the West Garden.
But it just so happened that Aunt Sun was unwell, and she thought about going to Feixian Palace to find Zhaoming Zhenren to check her pulse. Tian Yusheng heard about this, and during this time, he flattered her, and finally coaxed Sun to agree to take her into Xiyuan.
Tian Yusheng's account is roughly consistent with Zhang Weizhao's speculation. When Zhang Weizhao saw the scars on her body, he guessed that this should be a girl who had been abused by X for a long time.
It's just that there is one thing that Zhang Weizhao can't understand. is the girl Tian Yusheng knew who was bought by Lu Zhensheng to be an X slave, how did she know the name of Zhaoming Zhenren, and how did she think of persuading Tian Yusheng to defect to Feixian Palace?
However, Zhang Weizhao decided to put these doubts aside first, and focus on people first. Tian Yusheng was devastated, both physically and mentally, and needed professional treatment and care to recover slowly. Moreover, there are two thorny issues that need to be addressed. First, what about the child in Tian Yusheng's belly? Second, how should the Lu Mansion respond to the dignitaries coming from the Lu Mansion after ten days?
This can be solved relatively easily in a modern country with perfect laws. The first question is that the pregnancy can be terminated immediately if the victim's health permits; If not, the child can be given birth to a suitable family for adoption. The second problem is that once a minor is found to have been abused at home, the child will be immediately taken away and placed for adoption by a qualified family, and the child will be counseled by a professional, and the abuser will be punished by law, whether it is the biological parents, step-parents or other relatives.
But in this plane, neither of these problems is as easy to solve.
Zhang Weizhao thought for a while and asked Tian Yusheng: "What do you decide to do with this child?" What are your plans for the future? ”
Tian Yusheng looked at Zhang Weizhao cautiously and said: "I rely on real people to arrange, and I will do what real people say should be done." ”
Zhang Weizhao can understand why she has this attitude now, this girl is afraid that Zhang Weizhao has been deified, which is why she was able to tell Zhang Weizhao everything about her experience very trustingly when they met for the first time.
At the same time, she is seriously insecure, and she is also trying her best to please Zhang Weizhao, lest she be abused and abandoned again.
Zhang Weizhao said: "What I want to do is to help you." So you have to tell me what exactly you want so I can help you. She had already said something like that before, but in the face of a person like Miss Tian who was seriously insecure, she had to take the trouble to emphasize it again and again, so that the other party would really trust her, and it was for her as a person, not just for her to show her the name of the real person.
Tian Yusheng bit his lip, and finally whispered: "I don't want this child, can you help me get rid of it?" ”
Zhang Weizhao nodded and said, "Yes." It's just that the fetus is already a little big, and your body is relatively weak, so you can rest for two days first, and then we will deal with this matter, okay? ”
Tian Yusheng nodded again and again.
"What are your plans after this please? Do you have any other trusted elders who can take care of you? ”
"No, no! I really don't have anywhere to go, I just want to stay here and become a monk! Please take me in! As he spoke, he was about to turn down from the couch and kowtow to Zhang Weizhao.
Zhang Weizhao stopped her and said, "You can stay here if you want." If you want to become a monk, you don't need to worry, wait for you to cultivate after a while, and then plan carefully, is it okay? ”
Tian Yusheng nodded hurriedly again.
Zhang Weizhao placed a single room for Tian Yusheng, asked her to take lunch to her room for her to eat, told her that it was safe here, and let her rest in peace, Tian Yusheng responded one by one.
Zhang Weizhao had another afternoon of free clinics, although it was quite exhausting at noon, she still insisted on working until the sun went down.
The next day, Zhang Weizhao made time to carefully inspect Tian Yusheng, and then thought about this matter carefully, feeling that it was quite tricky. If Tian Yusheng was sent back to the tiger and wolf's den, she would never be able to do anything if nothing had happened. However, if Tian Yusheng is left behind, he will have to find a way to resist the pressure exerted by Lu Zhensheng. Lu Zhensheng is still very influential when he is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, if it is not handled properly, not only will Tian Yusheng not be saved, but it may also bring more serious consequences.
She decided to invite Chen Youcong to come over and discuss with him in person. After the message passed, Chen Youcong replied that he would go to the Queen Mother's Hall this evening to offer incense. Zhang Weizhao's heart settled down a little.
Unexpectedly, Chen Youcong's arrival caused a bigger turmoil.
