Chapter 67 Wishful thinking
Chapter 67 Wishful thinking
Shen Qingyu sneered, "Madam Liu, you should think twice before you speak. Think carefully about what you should and shouldn't say."
Aunt Liu's face suddenly changed, her legs softened, and she knelt in front of Shen Qingyu. The horror in her heart made her unable to utter a word.
She couldn't understand how such a handle fell into Shen Qingyu's hands.
She really hated this bitch. She had never been able to hide her innocence in the past, but now she had such a mind and means.
She could only swallow her grievance.
Seeing that Aunt Liu was silent, Shen Qingyu waved her hand, "Why don't you guys help Aunt Liu back home quickly?"
Right now, no matter how kind Shen Qingyu behaves, I'm afraid everyone will think she is smiling but hiding a dagger.
Everyone changed their minds and started to curry favor with Shen Qingyu.
"The Second Miss has worked really hard to share the worries of the Master and the Madam."
"Are you tired, Miss? Do you have any instructions?"
"Second Miss, if you have any instructions in the future, we will definitely serve you and ensure that there will be no mistakes."
"Second miss..."
Shen Qingyu pursed her lips and smiled, "Retreat..."
under.
As soon as he uttered the word "retreat", all the servants of the Shen family present ran away at once. Those who were left behind could even be seen to be a little panic-stricken. Even the Shen family's head steward ran away very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, no one was there.
Shen Qingyu stood up from the rosewood bed. She walked over and helped Dong Xi, who had been kneeling on the ground, up.
This little girl can be said to have made an indelible contribution to the exposure of the true identity of Aunt Liu and Liu Yiping today.
"Dongxi, get up."
The little girl Dong Xi was very young and had never seen the scene of today. When she was pulled out of the bushes by the servants of the Shen Mansion and Liu Yiping, she was almost scared to death.
At that time, he bravely accepted the interrogation of those masters, but when he saw Miss Shen II punishing Young Master Liu and the eldest lady so severely, Dong Xi couldn't help but tremble.
After Dong Xi was helped up by Shen Qingyu, she bowed and said, "Thank you very much, Second Miss, for saving my life."
She was really grateful to Shen Qingyu. She was sold to the Shen family when she was still young. Because she was stupid and not efficient, she could not be assigned to work in the yards of young ladies, wives or aunts, and could only trim flowers and plants in the backyard.
Because she did not do her job well, she was often beaten and scolded by the steward of the mansion. If she had not met the second young lady at that time, she would have been beaten to death by the steward.
The second young lady not only saved her life, but also promised to give her a sum of money to survive, and even returned her indenture contract to her and let her leave the house to find her relatives.
How could the second young lady, who is better than the gods in heaven, be such a vicious woman in the eyes of others?
The second young lady told her that life is very short. If one wants to live and live well, one should try his best so that he can see the way forward clearly.
The opportunity is before her, whether to do it or not depends on her choice.
Dong Xi remembered what Shen Qingyu had said to her before, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She was just a little maid who tended flowers and plants in the Shen family. She was not favored by her masters and could not even enter their yards. Her life was probably going to be like this, but she met the second young lady, who told her that she could have another life.
She is free and can do more than just be a lowly maid.
"You helped me a lot this time. If I really want to thank you, I should be the one thanking you."
Shen Qingyu and Dong Xi smiled at each other. Some things don't need to be explained clearly. It is enough for both of them to understand each other.
Xiangyu secretly guessed that when the incident happened, she thought it was arranged by the Second Young Miss, but she had no idea when the Second Young Miss arranged it. She was meticulous and did so many things, easily suppressing Aunt Liu, who had been favored in the Shen family for more than ten years, without leaving her any room to fight back.
Even when she had just whipped the eldest lady, Aunt Liu didn't dare to say a word against it.
"I have arranged a new job for you. In a few days, you will be able to start your new life."
Dong Xi cannot stay in the Shen Mansion. What happened today was a frame-up after all. Liu Yiping suffered a loss in silence, and there is no guarantee that this matter will not be exposed one day.
It’s not that Shen Qingyu doesn’t trust Dong Xi, but she can’t easily entrust her life and property to a little girl. Even if they are on the same front today, she may betray her in the future for various reasons.
Shen Qingyu glanced at the scent bag on Dong Xi's body and said, "By the way, can you give me the scent bag on your body?"
Dong Xi was a little surprised. She had always carried this sachet with her. It had become old after so many years. How could such a noble person like the Second Miss be interested in it?
However, she still obediently took off her sachet and handed it to the second young lady.
Shen Qingyu chuckled, "I just think the embroidery pattern of the sachet on your body is very special, and I want someone to embroider a few more of them in the same style. How about this, I will give you this sachet of mine, okay?"
As she spoke, she took off the sachet on her body and handed it to Dong Xi.
Her sachet naturally looked much more exquisite and valuable than Dong Xi's. After all, it was purchased by the Shen family and sent to her yard. The things chosen by the Shen family must be of good taste.
Dong Xi was startled and refused repeatedly, "This servant cannot take the Second Miss's sachet."
"Take it." Shen Qingyu placed the sachet in Dongxi's hand and instructed, "Xiangyu, take Dongxi away and take good care of her."
Dong Xi performed such a scene in front of everyone today, and he must be very tired mentally. It’s time for him to have a good rest.
Aunt Chen came over leisurely and bowed, saying, "It is time for me to take my leave, Second Miss, please take care of yourself."
Shen Qingyu didn't react to what Aunt Chen meant by this. She saw Aunt Chen glanced at Xiao Qingye beside her with an ambiguous look and smiled without saying anything.
Shen Qingyu was suddenly overwhelmed. She really had nothing to say about this misunderstanding.
"Aunt Chen, you think too much. The relationship between cousin Qingye and I is not what you think."
"Cousin Qing Yu..."
Xiao Qingye was half asleep, still muttering her name. He stretched out his hand and grabbed her skirt. It was really hard to defend herself. This evil man had done a lot of harm to her.
Aunt Chen smiled and looked at the two of them with ambiguous eyes. She was afraid that Shen Qingyu was shy and didn't know what to say, so she left with a smile.
Shen Qingyu was a little angry and embarrassed at the moment. This was the first time he was teased like this.
"Xiao Xiaoqi! Wake up! If you want to sleep, go back to your room and sleep!"
Shen Qingyu pulled out her skirt and wanted to kick Xiao Qingye.
This Xiao Qingye, his days and nights are reversed, he sleeps all day and even reaches out to pull her skirt. So many people were there just now and they all saw it. She originally wanted to keep some distance between herself and him, but now no matter what she said, it was all in vain.
Fortunately, he is as famous as Master Nanrong outside. If Nanrongyan knew that Xiao Qingye was like this, he would probably despise him!
"What, you want to sleep with me?" Xiao Qingye suddenly opened his eyes, and a teasing smile appeared on his bright red lips. "Cousin Qingyu, I didn't know you had been coveting me for so long, and you were so eager to sleep with me."
"Really?" Shen Qingyu smiled brightly and charmingly, but her steps were ruthless.
Xiao Qingye rubbed his waist where he was kicked by Shen Qingyu, and muttered secretly, the kick was so heavy, could it be that his cousin Qingyu was actually a man.
Not like a woman at all.
That’s right, she is indeed not a woman now. Shen Qingyu has not yet reached the age of marriage, so naturally she cannot be considered a woman.
Young Master Xiao Qi stood up and watched Shen Qingyu take a few steps back. "Let me make it clear first. I cannot be corrupted by wealth and power, nor can I bend by force. You cannot do anything wrong."
The next second, the person who was retreating staggered and rushed straight towards Shen Qingyu.
Shen Qingyu dodged and Xiao Qingye fell to the ground again.
Although he had fallen at the hands of Shen Qingyu many times, he was still very resentful this time. He, Young Master Xiao Qi, was very popular wherever he went. Usually, people would throw themselves at him. But today, the first time he threw himself at someone, he was actually despised and avoided.
Xiao Qingye's sad look made Shen Qingyu feel cold on the back.
"Xiao Qingye, if I really can't get married in the future, don't even think about staying out of it and living happily alone!"
He always wanted to take advantage of her. Such behavior was intolerable even for women of this era. He approached her again and again, disregarding the secular ethics. But she lived under this secular ethics and had no ability to change it. Xiao Qingye would not fight against these things for her.
Boys and girls over the age of seven should not sit together at the same table, not to mention such hugging and cuddling, which is against etiquette even if they meet alone.
If this matter were to get out and reach the ears of Bai Ying and Shen Chuanhe, they would definitely think that she had won the favor of Xiao Qingye and would try every means to marry herself to Xiao Qingye.
But Xiao Qingye is not a reliable man, and he has a strong mother like Shen Ruyan above him. Even though Xiao Qingye does not listen to Shen Ruyan in everything, given how much Shen Ruyan dotes on her precious son, anyone who marries Xiao Qingye in the future will not have a good life.
If she rushed to get close to him, she would be asking for trouble.
When Xiao Qingye heard this, he smiled seductively, his eyes sparkling with a moving look, "As expected, cousin Qing Yu is not an ordinary person."
He likes this kind of temperament.
After Xiao Qingye stood up again, he followed Shen Qingyu, and the two walked forward along the bluestone road. Xiao Qigongzi's voice was a little sad, "Cousin Qingyu, I will go to Yunlu Academy to study tomorrow. Don't you know how to comfort me?"
That was Yunlu Academy. Everyone in Jinling Prefecture knew about it. Many people spent a lot of money to buy a place in the academy, and were willing to spend all their money just to be able to study in Yunlu Academy.
But this Xiao Qingye didn't even pass the examination to become a scholar. He should be secretly grateful for being able to study there. All the students there have been on the list of successful candidates in the imperial examination. Even Nan Rongyan is now in Yunlu Academy and is the dean's favorite student. Shen Qingyu can only say that she is helpless about Xiao Qingye's lack of ambition.
If she was not confined in this mansion, it would be completely vain for her to want to go out. If she had the chance, she would definitely go and take a good look at what a beautiful place Yunlu Academy is that attracts countless talented people from all over the world to go there.
Xiao Qingye looked at Shen Qingyu's expression and asked curiously, "Cousin Qingyu wants to go too?"
Shen Qingyu didn't even look at him, and said in a slightly unfriendly tone, "Excuse me, Mr. Xiao, can I come in?"
In the academies of this era, all the scholars were men. There were no women among the scholars, and there were no women who passed the imperial examinations. Naturally, there could be no women entering Yunlu Academy. The wife and daughter of President Du of Yunlu Academy did live there, but other than that, all the people there were men. It was said that the daughter of the prefect of Jinling Prefecture wanted to seduce Master Nanrong, but was blocked outside the Yunlu Academy. She waited for several days, but finally returned empty-handed.
