Chapter 12: Dead People Don't Need Friends
"Untouchables! You dare to startle the master's horse, I must teach you a lesson today, so that you can remember it for a long time. The man in red jumped off his horse and walked over.
Xu Nian hugged the food in his arms, bit his lip and said with tears: "Jiang Ninghai, you and I are both in-laws, why make such a fuss, if my sister-in-law knows, everyone will not look good." β
"In-laws? You deserve it too! Jiang Ninghai took a sip and scolded extremely arrogantly: "Your ugly cousin has long been disgusted, and now my cousin has the final say in the house, and that sick man is trying to please my brother all day long." β
"You, you nonsense! My brother is a husband, and your brother is just a waiter. Xu Nian blushed angrily and retorted.
This sentence hit Jiang Ninghai's sore spot, and he whipped it, "Slut!" I'm going to abolish your face today, and see if the person surnamed Shen dares to call the shots for you...... Yes! β
Shen Liu stood behind him and lifted his kick, kicking the person out two feet away.
Jiang Ninghai fell firmly, he got up in annoyance and yelled: "Who, who dares to treat the master...... Sink...... Sister-in-law? β
At the same time, Xu Nian, who fell on the ground, also called out in surprise, "Sister-in-law!" β
Shen Liu had long recognized the two sides of the conflict. The one who raised the whip was Du Miao'er of the Jiang family's big house, her second husband's cousin. The one who was knocked and beaten was the second son of the Xu family, the distant cousin of her husband.
A cousin, a distant cousin, a born family is favored, and an ordinary person is poor, anyone will choose the former, but Shen Liu wants to do the opposite.
"What do you call Miss Ben?"
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law." Jiang Ninghai somehow coaxed. It's not that he hasn't seen his cousin's wife before, in his impression, Shen Liu is weak and incompetent, anyone can be bullied, why is it like a different person when he sees him today.
Shen Liu picked up the whip that fell to the ground, and said casually while playing with it: "Jiang Hanqing is just my little attendant, call me sister-in-law, are you worthy?" β
Without waiting for Jiang Ninghai to answer, she whipped it in the air.
"Smack!"
"Ahh
The whip hit Jiang Ninghai's chest, and the skin opened when he landed.
Shen Liu lowered his head and put a horsewhip against his chin and said: "Causing trouble, arson, committing murder in the street, insulting civilians as a child of the family, is this your Jiang family's tutor?" β
Jiang Ninghai has lived for more than ten years and has never been beaten, he hated Shen Liu very much, and immediately scolded fiercely: "The surname is Shen, are you sick in the brain, you actually beat me for a pariah?" I'm telling you that this matter is not over, I want you to kneel down and kowtow to me and admit your mistakes, otherwise I will let my brother divorce you! β
"Hugh me?" Hearing this, not only Shen Liu laughed, but the people around him also laughed. There was a sneering remark that couldn't be seen: "Master Jiang, your brother is just a little servant, only a little taller than a slave. If Miss Shen is unhappy, you can sell him away at will, you are so stupid that you don't even know this. β
Jiang Ninghai's face turned white as soon as he brushed it, of course he knew that his cousin was a husband, but Shen Liu's husband had been disgusted for many years, and everyone inside and outside the house acquiesced that his brother was the main room.
"I heard before that this Jiang Xiaoye is unlearned, arrogant and coquettish, no one dares to come to the door to propose marriage, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"No wonder you can't marry with such a bad temper, do you dare to ask for such a husband for you?"
"I don't dare, and Master Jiang doesn't look down on me."
"Shut up! You untouchable mourning dogs, shut up! Jiang Ninghai scolded the people like crazy.
Seeing that he was so unrepentant, Shen Liu directly whipped him in the mouth.
"Ahh
After a miserable scream, Jiang Ninghai collapsed on the ground, and he covered his face with his hands and wailed: "Shen Liu, you wait for me!" I'm going to kill all these untouchables, and you're going to kill them!" β
The laws of the Great Zhou were strict, and the nobles rarely bullied the people, but there were exceptions.
Although Anyuan is rich, it is far away from the capital, and the words of the county order here are not as effective as the farts of several major clans. It is the rise of the status of businessmen in recent decades that the three families of Shen, Sun, and Wang have gained some right to speak.
It's true that Shen Liu is not afraid of Jiang Ninghai, but the people are afraid, and the Xu family is also afraid.
Xu Nian knew that this matter was difficult to handle, and he didn't want to cause trouble to his cousin and sister-in-law, so he bit his lip and stepped forward and said, "Gongzi Jiang, I promise you that you will never marry into the Wang family, please don't anger others again." β
How did you pull out another Wang family? Shen Liu's face was inexplicable.
Gu Jingheng explained a few words in a low voice, and she realized that although the Xu family was cold, there were many beauties. Xu Nian has just turned fourteen this year, and many people have already gone to ask for marriage, including the Wang family.
Jiang Ninghai's eyes were higher than the top, and Quan Anyuan's girl was picked by him, and finally he barely took a fancy to Wang Chunmiao. But he didn't expect Wang Chunmiao to be happy with others and reject him, so Jiang Ninghai went crazy and wanted to ruin Xu Nian's face.
"You dare to act like this at a young age, you are really ruthless and shameless." She remembered. In her previous life, it was probably at this time that she heard the maid talking, saying that Wang Chunmiao's fiancΓ© offended the powerful and was beaten to death on the street, but in the end, the family only lost money.
"Ah Feng, you take Miss Ben's private seal and send him to the yamen, if the county order doesn't dare to sentence, let her come to me!" It is not a trivial matter to move a person's private seal, and if you can't win, you will go to jail and sue.
Shen Liu was really helpless to do this. She just wanted to attract the anger of the Jiang family to her alone, so as not to implicate the innocent people.
Anyway, she was meant to die.
No one thought that Shen Liu would win, even Gu Jingheng secretly tugged at her sleeve and said, "Wife, don't come with him head-on, I'll go to the Jiang family tonight to give him a good time." β
This Jiang Ninghai smashed his sugar, scolded his wife, bullied his cousin, and the three crimes were one, and it was not too much to cut off half of his life.
Shen Liu's heart moved, but he quickly dispelled this thought. She didn't want anyone to be affected by her, and when her younger brother was better, she would send people to her grandfather's house thousands of miles away, and if the eldest brother and second brother were willing, they would also go together. The servants who served in the palace signed a contract early in the morning, and when the period of March was over, they were all free.
Shen Liu arranged everyone's back roads, but he didn't expect Gu Jingheng's accident.
"Okay, you don't have to worry about this, I have my own plans." Shen Liu was about to turn around and leave, when he was suddenly stopped in his way.
"This sister, is the county order here very mediocre? Why didn't she dare to sentence such a wicked person? β
The woman who stopped the person looked young, with delicate facial features and elegant manners, a pair of almond eyes full of innocence, and a look of not being deeply involved in the world.
Looking at the circle of maids around her, and there are guards guarding her in the distance, you don't have to guess to know that her identity is not simple.
If it were someone else, he would definitely have a passionate relationship, but Shen Liu didn't want to deal with it, because a person who was about to die didn't need friends.
