Cheng Chun didn't sleep much that night. One reason was that his neck hurt so much. The other reason was that he was thinking about how to persuade Madam Li to go outside tomorrow. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to complete what Meng Shaoqing told her to do. She couldn't.
Just imprison Mrs. Li!
Because of this matter, Chengchun tossed and turned all night and didn't get much sleep, so that when he got up early the next morning, his face was a little gloomy. When Su Xubai saw it, he couldn't help but laugh at her: "Why, you just spent the whole night
Didn't sleep, just because of this little thing?"
"It's a trivial matter, you said it lightly. Why don't you think of a way for me? Madam Li and I don't deal with each other in the first place. Is there any way I can lure him out!" As soon as Cheng Chun heard Su Xubai
Saying this made me instantly angry.
"There is always a way!" Su Xubai walked up to Cheng Chun, gently rubbed her head, then turned and left.
Cheng Chun looked at Su Xubai's back, let out a long sigh, and anxiously walked back and forth in the yard.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you fidgeting like an ant on a hot pot?" Shaoyao suddenly walked to the door of the yard.
Chengchun was stunned for a moment, and then walked towards Shaoyao: "Why are you here?"
"I wanted to come over and see you last night. My father-in-law said that Mr. Su was angry and asked me not to cause trouble!" Shaoyao said, tilting his head slightly and looking at the injury on Chengchun's neck carefully, "Why?
The injury is so serious? But did you ask the doctor to come over and take a look?"
"I came here yesterday!" Cheng Chun said helplessly, "Fortunately, the vital parts and hyoid bone were not injured, otherwise you would have had to come and offer me incense today!"
Shaoyao quickly patted Chengchun's hand: "Bah, bah, bah, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Chengchun was amused, then took Shaoyao's hand and walked to the stone bench to sit down: "You came here so early just to see my injury?"
"Yes! I told you yesterday morning not to mess with that crazy woman. Unexpectedly, you met her directly in the afternoon!" Shaoyao said somewhat helplessly, "She must have been injured like this.
Get scared!"
Thinking of the feeling of being pinched by that person yesterday, Cheng Chun's face turned pale: "Fortunately, our master arrived in time, otherwise my life would have been in danger!"
Shaoyao quickly consoled her: "How could it be? There are so many servants in the yard, don't think too much!"
"It's not that I'm just imagining it. You didn't see that daughter yesterday. Her face was ashen. She didn't know what she was mumbling. She grabbed my neck and refused to let go. I really didn't even know if I was dead.
I have already thought about the tombstone!" Chengchun said, his eye circles a little red.
Seeing Chengchun like this, Shaoyao knew that she was really frightened, so she could only comfort her softly: "It's okay, it's okay, you just have to be gentle!"
"I don't know what kind of day it was that tortured such a living person into this state!" Cheng Chun thought of the despair in the woman's eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.
"Life in a big house is like this. With a concubine and no support from your mother's family, you are just a servant in front of the eldest lady. She has a hundred ways to abuse you!" Shaoyao seemed to have remembered something and spoke.
At that time, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Hu Sheng is no longer young. Because he is a scholar and for the sake of reputation, he does not have many concubines. But at such an old age, he still marries a daughter like Shaoyao who looks to be just sixteen or seventeen years old as a concubine. After all,
It's not a good thing either.
Hu Sheng's wife is the daughter of a high-ranking official in the capital. She has a fierce temper. It doesn't take much to think about how difficult it will be to make a living under her hands.
"Sister Shaoyao..." Chengchun held Shaoyao's hand.
Shaoyao paused and then laughed: "Yesterday our father said that you were frightened and asked me to take you out for a walk today. Most of the refugees on the streets have been driven away. We can go to some jewelry shops.
If you take a stroll around, you might be able to find something good!"
Chengchun was a little surprised: "Ah? It's not good to go out at this time. Our father said it's still very messy outside, so we shouldn't go out if we have nothing to do!"
Shaoyao quickly took Chengchun's hand: "Oh, it's okay! Our father said it's okay, so it must be okay!"
Although Chengchun didn't want to go, she had no better reason to refuse at the moment. Just when she was still hesitating, Shaoyao said again: "By the way, Madam Li also said she wanted to go, saying she would accompany us for a walk to relax.
It’s her apology for not taking care of her servants!”
"Ms. Li?" Cheng Chun was a little surprised, "How could she, a real wife, apologize to us for being a concubine?"
"Of course she is unwilling. After all, those who are good wives always look down on us who are concubines!" Shaoyao's eyes dimmed slightly, but only for a moment, "But right now, they are at fault.
First of all, Mr. Su is from the capital, and you are so honorable in front of Mr. Su, no matter how unwilling she is, she has to bow her head and apologize to you!"
Chengchun didn't need Mrs. Li to apologize to her, but it was good to use this reason to take Mrs. Li out of the mansion. At least in this way, she could be regarded as fulfilling Meng Shaoqing's instructions.
However, Chengchun didn't look very excited, but curled his lips and said, "I'd better apologize if it's not you. Don't be so angry that you drag us out and beat us up!"
"She dares!" Shaoyao snorted coldly, "He is afraid that his husband is too secure in this position, so he dares to attack us."
Chengchun smiled: "Wait a minute, I'll get some silver and then go out with you!"
Shaoyao asked Chengchun to go and she waited aside.
She looked at Cheng Chun from a distance. She was delicate and simple, and looked very different from her. She thought it was because Su Xubai didn't have a real wife yet, and she had never suffered any hardships in her daily life, so she could always be so pure.
Hu Sheng was many years older than Shaoyao, and his daughter was as big as Shaoyao, but Hu Sheng still shamelessly hugged her and called her baby. After all, Shaoyao disliked her, but it was really difficult to find a good girl after she was born.
There was no other way, but Hu Sheng was willing to redeem her life, so she had no choice but to become his concubine, but she was unwilling to do so in the end.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that when she sees Cheng Chun, she will inevitably feel a little more sympathetic. They are all concubines, making a living under the hands of others. They seem to have unlimited glory, but they are actually very miserable in their hearts.
, she approached her mainly because of Hu Sheng's instructions.
