Chapter 17: Unfairness

Shen Yunyou kept his head down, no matter how many unbearable words Shen Yunzhu said, he never opened his mouth to refute it.

Quietly endured Shen Yunzhu's full strength to hit her body, Shen Yunyou didn't slowly raise her head and look at Shen Yunzhu's back until she was tired and scolded enough, and left.

Licking the blood at the corner of his lips, Shen Yunyou didn't react at all. Ignoring the pointing and talking of the people around him, Shen Yunyou returned to his residence without saying a word.

"Little, Miss! What's wrong with you? Xiu'er, who was waiting at the gate of the courtyard, hurriedly shouted and ran to Shen Yunyou's side after seeing the embarrassed Shen Yunyou, checked Shen Yunyou's injuries with an anxious face, and asked, "Didn't you go to the palace?" How did you get all over your body? ”

"Where's my mother? Did you go back? Shen Yunyou didn't answer Xiu'er's words, his eyes flickered in the direction of the courtyard, and asked in a low voice.

"I went back, Mrs. waited for a long time and didn't wait for Miss to come back, and then I was called by the eldest lady, and I never came back."

"Big lady?" Shen Yunyou frowned and glanced at Xiu'er, then quickly walked into the room, changed the dirty clothes on his body, washed the stains off his face, and sat down in the chair expressionlessly.

With his hands around his chest, Shen Yunyou didn't make a sound for a long time, and Xiu'er was a little overwhelmed.

In the past, the young lady was always crazy, and there was no time to be idle except for sleeping and resting. But now Shen Yunyou makes Xiu'er unable to guess what she is thinking, no matter how she guesses.

"Xiu'er, come here." Shen Yunyou waved at Xiu'er and motioned for Xiu'er to sit beside him. After Xiu'er sat down, Shen Yunyou smiled slightly, looked at Xiu'er with some anticipation and said, "Tell me about the things in our house." I don't know who we are in the house. The last time I saw everyone in the cafeteria, I left in a hurry. Now that I've met people, I don't even know who they are or what I'm supposed to call them. ”

Xiu'er tilted her head to look at Shen Yunyou, blinked her eyes, thought thoughtfully for a moment, and said, "Our Prime Minister's Mansion is not big, and it is not small to say small." There are four more ladies above our wife. The eldest lady is in charge of the finances of the house, and how much money we have spent this month depends on her words. I haven't met the eldest lady a few times, but she hasn't taken the initiative to bully you and the lady like everyone else. ”

Xiu'er said something to Shen Yunyou without thinking, and after noticing that her wording was a little wrong, Xiu'er quickly closed her mouth, shrunk her neck, and looked at Shen Yunyou with a scared look.

"It's okay, it's just the two of us here, there are no outsiders." Shen Yunyou touched Xiu'er's head comfortingly, and was quite concerned about what Xiu'er had just said. "You mean, people used to come over and trouble me and my mother?"

"Miss, can't you see this kind of thing?" Xiu'er sighed heavily, looked at Shen Yunyou's swollen cheeks, and said faintly: "Our wife is from a humble background, so the four ladies above refuse to let the master straighten his wife." Plus Miss you ......"

Xiu'er paused, not daring to continue. But seeing Shen Yunyou smiling and shaking his head, after signaling that it didn't matter, Xiu'er clenched her fists and said to Shen Yunyou in one go: "Miss, since you became stupid when you were a child, our days have also plummeted. Although other people have been bullying us before, they haven't done anything too much. It's just a matter of cynicism at us. But then, they started to do it. Madame is weak and timid. I have to protect you when I am beaten, the eldest lady has never interfered in these things, but she has never come forward to stop them. The second lady, the third lady, and a few young ladies and young masters will come to give us a look at every three or five days, as if they will not feel comfortable if they don't drive us out of the prime minister's mansion for a day. ”

Xiu'er talked about the sad things in the past, and her eyes couldn't help but slowly redden. Recalling those scenes when she was bullied, Xiu'er's tone also became a little tougher. "The second lady has two children, Miss Yunxiu and Young Master Jinyu. The three of them are the most bullied by us! The third lady has a daughter, Miss Yunyu. Miss Yunyu accompanies the queen in the palace all the year round, so the status of the third lady in the palace is higher, and she looks down on our wife even more. The fourth lady has been living in the Buddhist hall for a long time all these years because the little young master died young, and she doesn't ask about family affairs, but her daughter Miss Yunzhu is completely different from the fourth lady. Miss Yunzhu often comes to us with the second lady, Miss Yunxiu, and Young Master Jinyu. They will come if they don't get the money from the eldest lady, and they will come if they are angry with the third lady. ”

The more she talked, the more sad Xiu'er became, and tears kept running down her cheeks. Looking at Shen Yunyou, who had her eyes closed, Xiu'er sobbed and said, "Miss, Madame has been bullied by them for so many years, but until now, she still can't get the treatment she deserves. Tell me, how unfair! ”

Shen Yunyou closed his eyes and listened to Xiu'er describe the situation of this prime minister's mansion to herself. recalled the time when he went to the dining hall to greet Shen Zhiyuan, and the people gathered around the dining table. Shen Yunyou confirmed their identities one by one, and after guessing about the same, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xiu'er, who was already crying.

"Well, don't cry." Shen Yunyou wiped away her tears for Xiu'er with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and said, "It's all before, I promise you, what they did to you before, I will let you do to them in the future." ”

Stretching out his hand and tapping Xiu'er's head, Shen Yunyou looked at Shang Xiu'er in surprise and continued: "This head of yours has to give me a good memory of those who bullied us." Do you understand? ”
