"Forget it, you might as well say it first. This incident was purely accidental. I wonder what you think?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Yun Qingshi, who was standing aside with a reserved look, neither beating nor scolding her. Logically speaking, she was the real victim. She had to commit herself to becoming a concubine under the strong pressure of Song Yu and the others.
Identities, emotions and reasons are the three of them who have lost their moral character after drinking and cannot interfere with the girl's family.
Liu Mingzhi scratched his head helplessly. He regretted in his heart and felt as uncomfortable as eating arsenic. Why did he listen to Song Yu's advice and drink some stupid celebration wine? Otherwise, this matter would not have happened.
Yun Qingshi sat on the stone bench and mingled his hands together: "My life is poor. I have been wandering around like a rootless duckweed since I was a child. I finally found a kind-hearted person to take me in. In the end, I was forced to sell myself to a brothel.
I was living on my last breath and living in panic, but my husband took pity on me and did not abandon my humble body and took her as my concubine. I obeyed my husband's arrangements in everything."
"Stop, stop, stop, I'm not asking you to complain here. I just want to know what you want to do about this matter. Let me explain to you in advance that I have a family and there is no way I can take you as my concubine.
This matter is non-negotiable."
Yun Qingshi's face was pale, and she looked at Liu Mingzhi in fear: "If your husband is not willing to take me as your concubine, why bother worshiping me in public? Although my low status is not as noble as your husband's status, if you
If you don’t have the heart to take concubines, why should you humiliate Qing Shi?”
Liu Mingzhi sighed and stood up, wandering around: "This is simply a misunderstanding. Last night I drank so much that I was unconscious. My behavior was all based on my body's instincts. I didn't have any consciousness at all. Otherwise, how could I agree to uncle's ridiculous request?"
.”
Yun Qingshi bit her lip tightly and panicked: "What do you mean, husband? Could it be that your husband is planning to give my body to someone else?"
The panic in Yun Qing's poem is self-evident. At best, the concubine is a concubine in a room, but at worst, she is just a man's plaything. If she is favored, she may be able to live without worries about food and clothing. On the contrary, compared to an ordinary maid
It's not much better.
Moreover, there is a special hobby among the powerful. They like to exchange each other's concubines. If a concubine with a good life is replaced by one or two men, it is considered a blessing in misfortune. A concubine with a poor life may change hands.
The master has been changed seven or eight times, some of the rich and powerful have more perverted habits, and the life of the concubine is extremely miserable, even worse than that of ordinary servants.
When Yun Qingshi saw that Liu Mingzhi's expression showed no sign of pity for him at all, he couldn't help but think of this possibility. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his delicate body could not help but tremble slightly.
Dan's lips were bitten with blood and he didn't even notice.
The maid Chun'er on the side looked at Liu Mingzhi who was wandering around in confusion and confusion, and looked at her young lady worriedly. Could it be that the young lady was still innocent and would become a plaything among these powerful men?
Lost in thought, Chun'er couldn't help but burst into tears.
Liu Mingzhi glanced at Chuner distractedly: "Don't cry."
Chun'er trembled with fright, quickly wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand, and looked at Liu Mingzhi with a cold expression in fear.
Liu Mingzhi took out a deed of betrayal from his arms and slapped it on the table: "This is your deed of betrayal. Take it and fly away, never show up in the capital again."
Yun Qingshi stared blankly at the prostitution contract on the table and was lost in thought: "Husband, I and Chun'er are not diligent in their limbs and cannot distinguish between grains. Since childhood, they have only learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting. After leaving the capital, they can only survive.
starved to death on the streets.”
"Then I have nothing to do with it. I have done my best to redeem your lives. How you survive is not my concern."
"Since my husband doesn't like me, why did he take me out of Tianxiang Tower?"
"Miss Yun, how many times do you want my young master to tell me, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, do you understand? If you are making trouble about this matter, I will divorce you with a divorce letter."
"Concubinehood is not against the rules of women. If your husband divorces me, even though I am of low status, I am not a despicable person. You can only make your determination clear through death."
"Threatening me? The young master is not afraid of threats from others, not even the Emperor of Jin. I just want you to know that no one can threaten this young master. If you really dare to die today to express your will, the young master will set up a monument for you and engrave it on me."
Your identity as a woman from the Liu family has given you a way to survive, but you don’t appreciate it, yet you dare to threaten me.”
There was a soft bang, and Liu Mingzhi watched blankly as Yun Qingshi's body slid down weakly from the pillars of the pavilion, and collapsed on the ground. A stream of bright red blood flowed down the pillars, and Yun Qingshi's forehead was covered with blood.
There was a large stain of blood on the spot, covering half of the stone slab.
Chun'er was lost for a moment and immediately threw herself to the ground, hugged Yun Qingshi in her arms and cried: "Miss."
Liu Mingzhi looked blankly at Yun Qingshi, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead: "You are just a brothel girl, why are you so strong?"
"Miss, don't scare Chun'er, wake up quickly, miss wuwuwuwu"
"Liu Si."
Liu Si didn't know where he landed in the pavilion in a few ups and downs: "Brother Liu Ye, Liu Si, pay my respects to the young master."
Liu Mingzhi pointed to Yun Qingshi lying in Chun'er's arms: "Let's see if she is dead or alive?"
Liu Si did not hesitate when he heard the words, and directly lifted Yun Qingshi's wrist. After a moment, Liu Si shook his head in a low voice: "Young master, even if you still have one breath left, your life will not be long."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Yun Qingshi lying there with a complicated expression, and a sense of self-blame rose from the bottom of his heart. If he hadn't been greedy, Yun Qingshi would not have died so early even if he was trapped in a brothel.
My child, the weak eat the strong. There is no fairness in the world. Trying to be a good person will only end up harming others and yourself. The old man's words couldn't help but come to mind. Liu Mingzhi gritted his teeth and said, "Let's give him a good burial."
"yes."
Chun'er stopped in front of Liu Si with a daze: "Don't touch my young lady. Chun'er thought that young lady found a good family, but she didn't expect to meet such a ruthless villain like you. Not only did she humiliate my young lady,
Your reputation has even harmed my young lady’s soul. Chun’er curses you to have a good death. God will accept you sooner or later for such heartless people like you.”
Liu Mingzhi firmly grasped the tea cup in his hand and said coldly: "Have you finished talking? I gave her a way to live. It was the path she had to choose. Although things started because of me, they did not end because of me. Liu Si, what are you waiting for?"
Liu Si hesitated for a moment and walked towards Yun Qingshi again.
Chun'er gently wiped away the blood on Yun Qingshi's forehead with a handkerchief, carefully placed it on the stone slab, and glared at Liu Mingzhi and Liu Mingzhi fiercely, with a selective and devouring gaze that made Liu Mingzhi slightly frightened. .
Chun'er smiled miserably: "Chun'er will not let you two go even if he turns into a ghost. I will make it difficult for you to sleep and eat well every day."
"Liu Si, stop her."
Liu Si was also stunned by Chun'er's look. After coming back to his senses, Chun'er was lying next to Yun Qingshi, with a trace of blood on his forehead.
Liu Mingzhi took two steps back at a loss, looking a little dazed: "Liu Si, did I force them both to death?"
Liu Si couldn't help but glance at the master and servant lying on the ground, and sighed softly.
