Chapter 33: Life and Death
"What!" Shen Xiuwen exclaimed in surprise, even he didn't know why he had such a big reaction, and he didn't know why when the old man said the second miss of the Liu family, his first reaction was the "dream cold" in his aunt's mouth. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Shen Xiuwen said: "Where is she locked up?" ”
The old man said anxiously: "I've been locked up in the firewood room, hurry, the second lady's maid sneaked out and is still waiting in the front yard of the house." ”
Shen Xiuwen didn't say a word, and followed the old man to the front yard. When the maid of the Liu family saw him, she hurriedly walked over, knelt on the ground with a "plop", and cried: "Young Master Yun, you must save the second lady of our family, she was imprisoned in the firewood room by her wife, and she has been denied food or drink for two days, if she does not agree to marry the second son of the Yin family in the west of the city, her wife will starve her to death." ”
"Hurry up, let's go to Liu's house to save people." Shen Xiuwen helped the maid up, and then the two of them hurried all the way to Liufu.
The maid led him through the back door, and avoided the courtyard and other maids and servants in the house, and they came to a dilapidated courtyard overgrown with weeds, and the house directly opposite the courtyard was where the firewood was piled up.
The firewood room was unattended, and although the door was locked, there was a window ajar, which seemed a bit unreasonable. Shen Xiuwen couldn't care so much at this time, and went directly through the window.
In the wood room, there was a pungent smell of mold, the whole room was dim and dirty, and there was the chirping of rats.
In a dark corner, there seemed to be a man lying down. Shen Xiuwen slowly approached, only to see her long hair messy, her clothes not covering her body, and she was trembling and shrunk on the cold ground.
Shen Xiuwen was shocked, as if a sharp ice blade had been mercilessly inserted into his heart, and when he pulled it out, it was already bloody and painful.
Shen Xiuwen no longer hesitated, and went straight forward to take her in his arms, using his body temperature to bring her a little warmth as much as possible.
"Shaoyun, Shaoyun, is that you?"
A faint voice came out of the mouth of the woman in her arms, but it was so familiar to Shen Xiuwen's ears.
Shen Xiuwen looked down at her, the pain in his heart couldn't stop, he stretched out his fingers, tremblingly picked up the hair that covered half of her face, and an unforgettable beautiful face suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
Seeing this appearance, Shen Xiuwen couldn't help but exclaim: "Xiang Xue, how could it be you?" ”
The woman in her arms looked at him in some surprise, with tears in her eyes, gently pursed her thin lips, and said weakly after a while: "Yunlang, what's wrong with you?" I'm Menghan. ”
Shen Xiuwen was shocked when he heard this, and stared at her in a daze: "You are Menghan?" The dream of the Liu family in the capital is cold. ”
Liu Menghan was frightened by his shocked expression, and after a long while, he nodded slightly.
Shen Xiuwen looked at her carefully, but thought that one was the second lady of the Liu family in the capital, and the other was a lonely ghost wandering in the world, how could they look so similar? Could it be that Xiang Xue is the second lady of the Liu family?
But Xiang Xue is already dead, how can it be......
Shen Xiuwen took a deep breath, suppressed the pain and complicated thoughts in his heart, and said to Liu Menghan: "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, I'll take you away." ”
And as he spoke, he lifted her up from the ground.
Liu Menghan shook his head with tears, "It's useless, I'm weak, you go, don't come again." ”
"No, I must take you out." Shen Xiuwen's tone was firm, and then he helped her up and carried her on his back.
For some reason, looking at her so desperate and sad expression, his heart felt as if it had been cut by a thousand knives, and the pain was unbearable.
Shen Xiuwen took a deep breath, first sent Liu Menghan out of the window slowly, and then turned out of the window himself, after everything was in order, but he didn't see the maid who brought him, the suspicion in Shen Xiuwen's heart was even more certain.
The maid must have been deliberately brought here at the behest of someone, but in any case, even if it was a trap, he must have rescued the poor woman.
Shen Xiuwen's deep eyes narrowed, and he was about to take Liu Menghan away, when the door of the room opposite the firewood room suddenly opened, followed by a crisp high-five.
Shen Xiuwen gently placed Liu Menghan under the window lattice, stared at the movement at the door of the room, and saw a graceful and graceful woman clapping her hands and slowly walking out.
When the two looked at each other and the applause suddenly stopped, the woman had a sneer on her lips, stared at Shen Xiuwen fixedly, and said, "My sister is really a blessing, even the champion who is named on this year's gold list will never forget her." ”
Shen Xiuwen stood tall and tall, and snorted coldly: "You are her sister, and you let her be locked up in this firewood room, it can be seen that your heart is like a snake and scorpion, and you are not worthy of her family." ”
"Unworthy?" The woman laughed out loud, but her tone was as cold as frost, and the chill was pressing, "Shaoyun, you are the beloved person given to me by the emperor, but you are eye-to-eyeing with my own sister in broad daylight, and you even say that I am a femme fatale, do you know that you have committed a capital crime by doing this!" ”
This was out of Shen Xiuwen's expectations, but he was not a soft persimmon to be manipulated, but he suddenly smiled: "Miss Liu is really joking, Menghan is your own sister, and I also treat her as my own sister, seeing that my sister is locked up in the firewood room and drugged, if I am indifferent and spread it, it will not be a loss of Liu Shangshu's face." ”
"So, are you thinking about our Liu family everywhere?" The woman's eyes burst with sinister hatred, and her lips seemed to have a touch of coldness, "However, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, so our Liu family's family affairs will not bother you to worry about it." ”
Shen Xiuwen's face was expressionless, and he said in a deep voice: "I am your beloved, and the affairs of the Liu family are my business, and there is absolutely no reason to ignore them." ”
"So you must not get along with me Liu Ruonan?" Liu Ruonan scolded fiercely.
Shen Xiuwen's eyes were bright, and his voice was solemn: "All in all, I must take Menghan away today!" ”
Even he himself didn't realize how firm his tone was and how cold his eyes were when he said this, just like in this world, nothing could stop him from taking Liu Menghan away!
However, at this moment, Shen Xiuwen suddenly felt hot all over his body, his head was dizzy, he staggered, and his left knee fell to the ground with a "bang", and the whole person was shaky.
"Yunlang, Yunlang......"
Seeing this, Liu Menghan crawled in front of him with all his strength, his violently trembling fingers gently touched his face, with tears in his eyes, and called him eagerly: "Yunlang, what's wrong with you?" ”
Shen Xiuwen tried hard to see her clearly, but he couldn't see her clearly.
Liu Ruonan's sneering voice came: "Shaoyun, in vain, you are so smart on weekdays, you don't know the words 'care is chaos', I'm not afraid to tell you, before you came, I ordered someone to put ecstasy on my good sister, this kind of drug, as long as you get a little bit of it, even if you are strong in a quarter of an hour, you can't resist the temptation of this drug." ”
"You mean!" Shen Xiuwen gritted his teeth and scolded angrily word by word.
When Liu Menghan heard this, tears poured out uncontrollably, if it weren't for herself, Yun Lang would not have been tricked, no matter what, she couldn't watch Yun Lang suffer this humiliation.
I saw Liu Menghan kowtowing to Liu Ruonan repeatedly, the corners of her forehead were broken, and bright red blood beads flowed down her nose socket.
She kowtowed and begged: "Sister, all the faults are my fault alone, please, let Yunlang go, please!" ”
Liu Ruonan didn't hear it, a sneer overflowed on her lips, and seeing that she was already full of blood, she said lightly: "My good sister, of course all of this is your fault alone, if it weren't for you, Shaoyun and I would have been able to get to where we are today?" Look at you are speaking for Shaoyun every word, if outsiders hear it, they will think that what happened to Shaoyun! ”
Liu Ruonan suddenly smiled: "As long as it is past today, even if Shaoyun doesn't like me, I am also his person, and when the emperor's decree arrives, I will be his only wife in this life, and you are a lowly hoof who is spurned by thousands of people!" ”
Liu Menghan had long known that Liu Ruonan would not let herself go, but she didn't expect Liu Ruonan to be so ruthless that he would ruin her life in such a cruel way, and ruin Yunlang's life in the same way.
She trembled and crawled to Shen Xiuwen's side, holding his palm with the last bit of strength, tears rolling down like a waterfall, she looked at the person who fell to the ground in front of her, he was still so handsome, just like the first time I saw him, warm and light, but so ordinary and down-to-earth, every smile was like a warm spring breeze.
Liu Ruonan impatiently ordered his subordinates to pull Liu Menghan away, and laughed coldly: "My good sister is a beautiful golden branch and jade leaf, as long as she doesn't die, you can do whatever you want." ”
Such vicious words lingered in Shen Xiuwen's ears, and he gritted his teeth fiercely, eager to strangle that vicious woman to death!
