Chapter 6 Treat yourself as a man
Wei Shuyan obviously knew that Zhang Yan had bad intentions, but she still had to come, of course, not because of any delicious food, but because of her only mother who cared about.
Wei Shuyan stood up violently, kicked away the broken bowl of slag, and pulled Wei Anling to leave, "Mother, let's go." ”
"Yan'er," Wei Anling fell on Wei Shuyan's hand, obviously she would not leave without Zhang Yan's order, Wei Shuyan pulled Wei Anling up and walked out the door.
Before the two of them stepped out of the door, they heard a fierce voice behind them, "Stop, it's not your two turn to call the shots in this family." ”
Wei Shuyan turned her head and sneered: "This is you, gentle and virtuous is not suitable for you." ”
"You," Zhang Yan angrily pointed at Wei Shuyan's nose, waved her long sleeves, and shouted to the outside, "Come on, Wei Shuyan has no respect for her elders, and she will be punished for kneeling in the courtyard for two hours." ”
"Madam, Madame, it's autumn now, it's cold at night, two hours, she can't resist" Wei Anling knelt down with a pout, begging Zhang Yan for mercy.
"Mother, you get up, what do you beg her to do, my surname is Wei, not Liu, we don't have to listen to her." Wei Shuyan wanted to pull up her mother, who knelt on the ground and kowtowed like a slave, but she kept kneeling down and pleading guilty as if she hadn't heard herself.
Seeing Wei Anling like this, Wei Shuyan had mixed feelings in her heart, when she broke off the father-daughter relationship with Liu Zhao, she thought about taking her mother away, but her mother would rather stay in purgatory on this earth and endure these humiliations, rather than go home to Wei, just because of the man who only cares about fame and fortune.
Wei Anling surrendered her identity because she was the daughter of a businessman, and she thought she was inferior, so she didn't dare to resist Zhang Yan in this family, so she could only let her bully.
No matter how great Ren Wei Shuyan is, she can cure the harsh and unscrupulous mother-in-law, but she can't cure the cowardly mother who is willing to suffer.
"Mother, you get up," Wei Shuyan helped Wei Anling up and pleaded, "I don't want you to beg her for me, you are like this, more sad than how much punishment I have suffered, you know?" ”
"Yan'er, she is your mother-in-law, the master of the back house, we can't ......" Wei Anling stroked Wei Shuyan's cheek, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and touched her forehead again, and found that it was very hot, "Yan'er, what's wrong with you, why are you so hot." ”
"It's okay, mother, I'm fine." Wei Shuyan said with relief.
Zhang Yan: "It's really a good show of mother-daughter love, the son doesn't teach the mother, since you don't want to kneel, then let your mother replace you!" ”
Wei Shuyan: "You ......"
Zhang Yan knew very well in her heart, she knew that Wei Shuyan's weakness was her mother, Wei Anling was cowardly and loved her daughter, she would definitely obey her, Wei Shuyan wanted to protect her mother, so she would naturally listen to her.
Wei Shuyan didn't know Zhang Yan's wishful thinking, how many times she had used such a routine to torture their mother and daughter over the years, she could just leave, but that Zhang Yan was bound to spill her anger on her mother, this trick was really tried and tested.
Wei Shuyan: "Okay, isn't it just kneeling?" I kneel. ”
"Mother, go back first! You're not well, don't get sick. Wei Shuyan got up and walked to the open space in the courtyard, there were two dark marks on the floor, which were a little more concave than the others.
Wei Shuyan lifted her robe and knelt down, just fitting the two seals.
Zhang Yan's purpose is to punish Wei Shuyan, since the purpose has been achieved, she will naturally not embarrass Wei Anling again, if she is embarrassed again at this moment, Wei Shuyan will definitely not be obedient.
There are tiny pebbles in the clearing, and even if you kneel for only a quarter of an hour, your knees will hurt.
However, Wei Shuyan has experience, since she was a child, she has been punished to kneel not 100 times but 80, so she wore knee pads before coming.
I remember when she was a child, she was often punished for kneeling, and every time she knelt down, her knees were either blue or bleeding, and her mother felt sorry for her, so she sewed several layers of cloth on the knees of her pants.
Mother was raised by her grandfather in the boudoir since she was a child, she is the eldest lady who does not go out of the standard door, and occasionally goes out of the door either by sedan chair or by car, and has not seen a few men since she was a child.
However, her mother was cowardly by nature, and was influenced by the way of three obedience and four virtues.
My grandfather was busy with business, my grandmother died early, and everything my mother was in charge of the nurse.
Since Wei Shuyan returned to the Wei family, she has never been punished for kneeling, and it is the first time in three years. Wei Shuyan guessed that Zhang Yan called her here today to determine whether she was injured and whether she was dying.
It's a pity that she has been hard since she was a child, and she can't die.
Xu didn't kneel for three years, only kneeling for less than half an hour, began to feel dizzy, after a long time, even the knee pads became useless, the pain and numbness from the knees made her unbearable, but if she didn't go along with Zhang Yan's wishes, kneeling for two hours, she would be angry with her mother again.
Wei Shuyan looked up at the sky where there was no starlight at all, it was clear that it was a poisonous day during the day, but at night it was going to be stormy, and the rainstorm was coming, seeing that it was about to reach the time she had agreed with Shen Jiong, it seemed that today was about to miss the appointment.
It's okay, I hope he thinks he's a man of his word, and it's better not to see each other again in the future.
Sure enough, as Wei Shuyan expected, soon, raindrops the size of beans fell from the air, hitting her face, cold and stinging, like a sharp knife piercing her heart, and soon the raindrops became dense, Wei Shuyan became a soup chicken, she only felt that her body was very cold and cold, like in an ice cellar, she held her body and shivered in the storm.
An old servant couldn't stand it, so while his wife was away, he took an umbrella to cover Wei Shuyan from the rain.
"Miss, I think you'd better get up! Madame should have fallen asleep by this time, and she won't come. ”
Wei Shuyan glanced up, it seemed to be Aunt Li who managed the cleaning of the front hall, she was punished to kneel when she was a child, and only Aunt Li dared to secretly bring water to her to drink.
"Auntie, you better go in quickly, I can't bother you." There are only a handful of people who are good to her in this life, and those who want to go to hell are those who hate her, and those she hates, so there is really no need to involve these people who have good intentions and can muster up the courage to help her.
Aunt Li: "Old slave, it's already an old bone, madam, if you want to scold, you will be punished, but if you are bitter, Miss, you should not come back in the future." ”
"Auntie, I know that you are for my good, although I hate this family, but there are still people here that I can't give up, but Auntie, don't worry, I won't complain, one day I will take my mother out from here," Wei Shuyan said with a smile, "And you, Auntie, come with me to Weifu when the time comes." ”
"The old slave is just begging for food everywhere, if the young lady can really take the lady away, it will be fine." Aunt Li was also powerless, she handed the umbrella to Wei Shuyan and returned to the front hall in the rain.
*
Wei Meiyan seems to be in a black hole, reaching out and not seeing her five fingers, where her five senses are lost, she can't feel the warmth and cold, she can't hear the sound, and she can't make a sound.
After staying in this hole for a long time, she felt a chill in her lower body, as if a stream of liquid was constantly rushing towards her until it enveloped her whole body.
She struggled, and when she couldn't breathe, she finally heard a sound in her ears, which was dull and seemed to come through layers of obstacles. Gradually, the voice became louder and louder, and she finally heard clearly, it was Xiao Yu calling her.
Since Wei Shuyan came back from Liu's Mansion last night, the high fever did not go away, Xiao Yu stayed all night, and when she was tired, she lay in front of Wei Shuyan's bed, and Wei Shuyan did not wake up until noon.
"Miss, I'm here, I'm here." Xiao Yu held Wei Shuyan's hand and asked her to grab something, maybe she would feel at ease.
"Xiao Yu," Wei Shuyan felt very stuffy in her chest, and was pulled up by Xiao Yu, leaning against the head of the bed, Xiao Yu carefully folded the quilt for her.
"How is Miss feeling," Xiao Yu asked worriedly, "Miss had a high fever last night, it really scared me to death." ”
Wei Shuyan took the water handed over by Xiao Yu and took a sip, "I just feel a little stuffy in my chest." ”
"I asked the kitchen to cook the porridge, and I'll drink the medicine after drinking the porridge later," Xiao Yu smiled as he pointed to the bowl of medicine on the table.
Wei Shuyan looked at the steaming bowl and suddenly felt that it was better not to wake up, but when she remembered that terrible dream, she still had palpitations, and it was not until the hot porridge was held in her hand that she got out of that fear.
"Xiao Yu, how did I come back yesterday." Wei Shuyan remembered that soon after the eldest mother left, she felt sore and weak, her body was cold, and even when the rain hit her body, she felt hot, and her eyes were dark in the back, and she didn't remember anything.
Xiao Yu: "Soon after Miss entered, someone sent a message to me with crossbow arrows, Miss was guarded at the door of Liu's Mansion in difficulty, I couldn't enter alone, so I went back to the house to find rescuers, and when I arrived, you had fallen in the water." ”
Wei Shuyan: "Is the letter still there?" ”
"It's still there, I've been keeping it!" Xiao Yu gave the note in his arms to Wei Shuyan, "Miss, could it be a letter from Madame." ”
Wei Shuyan glanced at the note and said lightly: "I really wish it was her, but you said it, it was a message with a bow and crossbow, and the words on it were as ugly as a dog crawling, how could it be a mother's word." ”
Xiao Yu glanced at the note again, "Yes, is it possible that Mrs. was afraid of being discovered by Zhang Yan, so she deliberately wrote it like this."
Wei Shuyan tore the note in half, "It doesn't matter who wrote it, I don't care." By the way, how is Li Ji. ”
Xiao Yu: "In Linjiang Villa, people have woken up. ”
Wei Shuyan: "Okay, go over and have a look." ”
*
In the Linjiang Garden, a man was lying on the bed, staring blankly at the rubble on the roof, his lips cracked and white. The coarse cloth clothes on his body seemed to be incompatible with the riches in this room, and his chest was stained with blood, perhaps after a long time, there were signs of fading.
Hearing that someone pushed the door in, he endured the pain and sat up, and when he saw someone coming, his expression was slightly panicked, "Miss." ”
He covered his wound and tried to kneel, but was held up by someone who came.
"Not necessarily."
Li Jian couldn't have imagined that it was Wei Shuyan who personally helped him, and he took a few steps back in panic.
"Why are you down, go back and lie down," Xiao Yu, who came in behind, saw that Li Jian couldn't even stand steadily, so he hurriedly helped her to the bed, and saw that he was still wearing the clothes that were oozing blood, and said, "Didn't they let them change your clothes?" Why didn't they change, are they already so bold! ”
"Miss Xiaoyu, it's me, I don't want to change it." Li Jian lowered his head when he spoke, his eyes dodged, and he didn't dare to look at Xiao Yu.
"Why, your clothes are stained with blood, if you touch the wound, it will become infected, this clothes are clean." Xiao Yu thought that Li Jian was disgusted with that dress.
"I didn't mean that, of course the things given by the young lady are the best," Li Ji lowered his head and sighed, "But where do I deserve to wear such good clothes." ”
Xiao Yu looked at Wei Shuyan, her face was full of helplessness and incomprehension, and Wei Shuyan lifted her robe and sat down.
"Xiao Yu, you see, how terrible people's inherent thinking is." This was actually said to Li Ji.
"Li Ji, let me ask you, when you knew that someone deliberately poisoned your daughter, did you ever think of telling the shopkeeper and telling me." Wei Shuyan said.
"I had this thought, but ......," Li Ji stopped when he wanted to speak.
Wei Shuyan answered: "But you are worried that not only will I not save people, but I will also use this to anger you and suspect you." ”
Li admonished: "The lives of the poor are like mustard, and in the eyes of you rich people, we are probably not as good as a likable dog." ”
"I still remember when I helped you just now, and you immediately retreated, but Xiao Yu came to help you, but you accepted it with peace of mind, that's because you think Xiao Yu is a subordinate." A smile flashed at the corner of Wei Shuyan's mouth, but her eyes were still so cold.
Wei Shuyan: "But what you don't know is that Xiao Yu and I grew up together, and she is my sister."
Li Ji lowered his head, in a trance.
"Li Ji," Wei Shuyan got up, looked out the door, sighed deeply, and said, "The world is unfair, divide people into three, six, nine and so on, I will send you a word today." Above man, man for man, under man, for man. ”
"Take your daughter out of Gangneung! and don't appear in front of me again. This was the last sentence that Wei Shuyan left for Li Ji.
After Wei Shuyan left, Xiao Yu left a few words to confess, and chased out, "Miss, you were quite fancy just now!" ”
Wei Shuyan said angrily: "You mean, I didn't have a fan before? ”
Xiao Yu: "No, I only knew that Miss was good at business before, but I didn't know that you still have such literary talent?" ”
"Above men, for men, and under men, for people." Xiao Yu put his hands behind his back, learned the appearance of the teacher in the school, and repeated that sentence.
"That's because you don't know me well enough," Wei Shuyan raised her lips and smiled, hooked her finger at Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu attached her ear, and she whispered in Xiao Yu's ear, "Actually, I memorized the words in advance." ”
Xiao Yu nodded, and let out a meaningful "oh".
*
Wei Shuyan and Xiao Yu got off the carriage, and the little maid who had been waiting at the door of the Wei Mansion ran over in a panic to spread the word.
"Miss, you're back, just now someone from the Liu family came to spread the word, and the second lady is sick."
