Chapter 5: His Cruelty
Shen Miaoyan sat on a small bench in a remote courtyard, with a large wooden basin in front of him, and in the basin were mountains of various colors of silk and satin.
She rested her hands on her cheeks, and her amber eyes sparkled.
This embroidered He deliberately found so many clothes for her to wash, just to temper her.
The clothes of the first-class and second-class maids in the house obviously have a room to wash, when do you need to do it yourself?
She stretched, got up and walked to the door, trying to push it out, only to find it locked from the outside.
She sneered, her eyes fell on a tree in the corner of the yard, she looked up at the height, then rolled up her sleeves, and deftly climbed up to the tree, and immediately climbed along the branches to the fence.
The wall was so low that she jumped straight down.
She doesn't know much about things, but she is very good at climbing trees and climbing walls.
She wandered around the backyard all morning and grabbed some food from the kitchen.
In the afternoon, she turned back to the remote yard, ate a snack under the tree, and fell asleep comfortably.
When I woke up, it was dusk.
She rubbed her eyes, and as soon as she sat up, she heard the sound of the door unlocking.
There was a hint of evil in her eyes, and she ran straight up the tree.
It was Xiuhe who came in, and she hurriedly shouted loudly: "Shen Miaoyan, where are you?" Come out for me! ”
Shen Miaoyan sat on the branch and looked at her quietly through the leaves.
She guessed that it was about Jun Tianlan who came back, and wanted to look for her but couldn't find anyone.
"This little slut!" Xiuhe angrily flipped through the inside and out, but still didn't see Shen Miaoyan's figure.
She gritted her teeth in hatred and hurried out again.
Shen Miaoyan climbed down from the tree, stepped on the clothes in the wooden basin a few times, scooped them all up, and hung them on the clothes pole one by one.
By the end of all this, it was already completely dark.
Voices from far and near sounded outside, and Jun Tianlan mobilized many people in the mansion to look for her everywhere.
She went back to the tree and sat down, and saw that the courtyard was full of swimming lights, and the maids and women shouted "Miss Shen" one after another.
Amber eyes flickered slightly, like a cat's eyes in the dark night.
The crescent moon gradually rose, Xiuhe folded back again, carrying the lantern, his steps were very chaotic, and the panting sound was even heard by Shen Miaoyan on the tree.
Xiuhe was annoyed, she felt that the daughter of this criminal minister was not worthy of living in the east compartment, and only Miss Murong was qualified to live in it.
But what she didn't expect was that when the master went to court today, she asked where the little hoof went, and she knew that the master valued the little hoof so much, so she wouldn't let her wash so many clothes!
Shen Miaoyan deliberately broke the branches on the tree, and Xiuhe noticed that she was hiding in the tree.
She ran under the tree in a panic, raised the lantern above her head, and barely smiled: "Miss Shen, what are you doing in the tree?" The master is looking for you everywhere, go back with me! ”
Shen Miaoyan shook her legs, "Why? ”
Xiuhe was stunned for a moment, realizing that she was angry, so she said softly: "You go back with me, I'll give you rose halva cake to eat, okay?" Today's incident is as if it never happened, and you must not mention it to your master. ”
It's all a child's tone.
Shen Miaoyan looked out of the courtyard, and by the light of the lamp, it could be seen that Fu Yi and Tian Xiang were coming over with lanterns.
The man behind them, dressed in elegance, was hidden in the night, and the golden python on the black brocade robe turned with the wind, lifelike.
She retracted her gaze and suddenly choked up: "Sister Xiuhe, I'm afraid, woo woo woo ......"
Xiuhe was stunned for a moment, and before he could figure out what tricks the little hoof was playing, he heard the sound of the courtyard door being pushed open.
She really wanted to tell Shen Miaoyan not to cry, but Fu Yi and Tian Xiang had already come over.
Xiuhe was thinking about how to buy clothes and incense, but suddenly saw that Jun Tianlan had come to find someone in person!
Jun Tianlan walked under the tree, and his voice was cold: "Why did you run up the tree?" ”
Shen Miaoyan whimpered, stretched out her little hand, and pointed to the bamboo pole in the yard: "Sister Xiuhe asked me to wash my clothes, so I will help her do her clothes...... By the time I finished washing, it was dark. I wanted to go back, but the door was locked from the outside, and I was scared alone, so I went up the tree and woo-woo-woo......"
When everyone looked, they saw seven or eight bamboo poles in the yard, on which dozens of clothes were dried.
Xiuhe sighed in her heart, and hurriedly knelt down: "Master, it's not like this, it's Miss Shen, she said she would help me wash my clothes!" ”
Tian Xiang was furious: "Even if the young lady said that she would help you wash your clothes, why did you lock the door from the outside?!" ”
Xiuhe slumped for a moment, not knowing how to explain, because of fear, her body couldn't help shaking, and her back was wet with cold sweat.
The small courtyard was very silent, and only Shen Miaoyan's intermittent sobbing could be heard.
Jun Tianlan's voice was faint: "Come down." ”
Shen Miaoyan cried, glanced at him a little scared, twisted his small body slowly, and cautiously jumped down from the tree.
Because of the cold, her little face was red from the cold, and her two hair balls were tied crookedly, looking extremely pitiful.
Jun Tianlan took her into his arms and walked out of the courtyard with him in his arms.
Fu Yi and Tian Xiang followed closely, and no one cared about Xiuhe who was kneeling on the ground.
A gust of night wind blew, and Xiuhe only felt overwhelmingly cold.
Jun Tianlan carried Shen Miaoyan back to Hengwu Courtyard, but Shen Miaoyan just hugged his neck and cried, very aggrieved.
Jun Tianlan motioned to Fu Yi and Tian Xiang to take her to take a bath first, and the two washed her clean, changed into plain clothes, and then sent her into the bedroom.
When Shen Miaoyan came in, her eyes were still red, and when she saw Jun Tianlan with her back to her under the window, she wiped her tears, walked over, and stood on the small bench to help him study ink.
Jun Tianlan glanced sideways slightly, only to see her holding an ink strip, her little hands were white and tender, not like she had been soaked in laundry for a long time.
Not to mention......
The clothes hanging in the yard were still dripping, and they were clearly hung on the clothes pole just now.
To win sympathy, the little girl played smoothly.
With a chuckle on his thin lips, he continued to write: "Wronged? ”
Shen Miaoyan drooped her head, quietly raised her eyelids to look at him, and said softly: "Don't be wronged...... It's just fear. ”
"Do you know what will happen to that maid?" He asked.
Shen Miaoyan shook his head.
"Whoever dares to touch me will be killed with a rod."
He dipped it in ink, his slender eyelashes casting two shadows on his cheeks.
Shen Miaoyan's heart skipped a beat, and the grinding action stopped.
She stared at him and saw that he didn't look like he was joking.
A nameless fear rose from the depths of my heart.
Everyone in the world says that the national teacher Jun Tianlan is a minister who brings disaster to the country and the people and cares for people's lives.
Will he really kill Xiuhe because of such a trivial matter?
