Shen Yuan was abandoned in the wilderness at birth and suffered greatly for eighteen years. The only light in her life was a weak scholar. He taught her to read and write, and she gathered herbs to...
"Ah—! Help! Help!"
Shen Qingshu screamed as he surfaced from the water, clinging to the edge of the vat as he tried to climb out, but Shen Yuan ruthlessly pushed him back into the water as soon as he emerged.
"You're full of bastards and scumbags, your mouths stink so bad, let me give you a good wash!"
Shen Yuan stood beside the water vat, rolled up her sleeves, and pressed one head down with each hand, holding Shen Qingshu and Shen Changshu underwater. No matter how much they struggled, she did not let go.
She grew up in the countryside and did farm work, so she was naturally much stronger than this pampered young master.
Therefore, Shen Qingshu and Shen Changshu could not break free from Shen Yuan's shackles.
The maids and servants in the courtyard were so frightened by this scene that they shrank to the side, not daring to step forward rashly.
Shen Qingshu and Shen Changshu did not bring any servants with them when they arrived, so no one came to their rescue. They were completely helpless.
After shouting for help several times and seeing that no one came to their aid, Shen Changshu and Shen Qingshu finally realized they were scared and knew they should beg for mercy.
"We...we were wrong, please...please let us go!"
Please!
Shen Yuan grabbed Shen Qingshu by the collar and coldly said three words: "Who am I?"
"You...you're the eldest sister!"
"Big sister, I know I was wrong!"
Seeing Shen Qingshu and Shen Changshu bow their heads and admit their mistakes, Shen Yuan finally let go of their hands.
Shen Qingshu and Shen Changshu climbed out of the water vat and lay on the ground, panting heavily. The water plants used to decorate the vat were stuck to their faces, their pearl headbands had fallen to their necks, their hair was disheveled, and their clothes were covered in mud. They looked more disheveled than the other.
Shen Yuan looked at them and snorted, "Take your balls and get out of here. Don't ever come to my yard again!"
Shen Qingshu got up from the ground, spat angrily, pointed at the servants surrounding the courtyard, and cursed, "You bunch of idiots! You didn't even try to save me just now, letting a shrew cause trouble and almost killing me! Get ready to be beaten! I'm going to tell my mother to beat you all to death!"
As he spoke, Shen Qingshu pulled Shen Changshu toward the courtyard exit.
As he walked, he didn't forget to warn Shen Yuan: "You wild girl! You shrew! You wretch! You just wait! I am the young master of the General's Mansion. If you dare to harm me, I will go and tell my father and mother that you almost cut off the lineage of our General's Mansion! You can wait to be beaten to death!"
But as soon as the two brothers reached the gate of Changfeng Residence, they were blocked by a long sword.
Shen Qingshu and Shen Changshu glared at Xiao Ling with grim expressions: "Where did this stray dog come from, daring to block my way!"
Without saying a word, Xiao Ling raised his hand and struck Shen Qingshu and Shen Changshu on the back of the neck. Shen Qingshu and Shen Changshu instantly fell to the ground and fainted.
Shen Yuan walked to Xiao Ling's side and glanced down at Shen Qingshu and Shen Changshu lying on the ground.
Shen Yuan didn't want to take these idiots who begged for mercy as soon as they were beaten and got cocky as soon as they were free. But if she didn't teach them a lesson today, they would definitely keep swarming around her like greenbottle flies in the future.
So Shen Yuan had Xiao Ling throw Shen Qingshu and Shen Changshu next to the water vat and then splash some cold water on them.
The maids in the courtyard dared not stop Shen Yuan, but they also dared not let Shen Yuan torment the two young masters. If something really happened to the two young masters, they would definitely suffer the consequences.
After a moment's thought, the head maid stepped forward and advised, "Miss, if you do this, Master and Madam will probably blame you. Why don't we call a doctor and send the two young masters back?"
Shen Yuan raised her eyes and glanced at the maid who had spoken, saying, "If you don't want to be punished, then do as I say today!"
Although the maids and servants did not understand the meaning behind Shen Yuan's words, they still nodded obediently.
Shen Yuan then shouted outside, "Oh no! Oh no! Someone has fallen into the water!"
Outside Changfeng Residence, Shen Qingshu and Shen Changshu's personal servants, who had not seen their young master for a long time, came all the way to Changfeng Residence. Hearing the commotion at Changfeng Residence, they hurriedly ran over.
As soon as they rushed into Changfeng Residence, they saw Shen Yuan holding Song Qingshu, who was soaking wet.
After an incense stick had burned, Shen Yuan and all the servants of Changfeng Residence were invited to Wude Courtyard, where Jiang Shi and Shen Wei were staying.
With tears streaming down her face, Madam Jiang stood guard by the bedside, watching Shen Qingshu and Shen Changshu who were fast asleep. Tears fell one after another, soaking a large part of her embroidered handkerchief.
After the physician checked the pulses of Shen Qingshu and Shen Changshu, he said, "Reporting to the master and madam, the two young masters are fine. They just fell into the water and were frightened into unconsciousness. I will prescribe some medicine to dispel wind and cold for them. Just be careful not to catch a chill!"
After hearing the physician's words, Madam Jiang persisted, "If there's nothing seriously wrong, why haven't you woken up yet? Do you even know how to treat illnesses? If not, I'll find someone else!"
Upon hearing this, the physician helplessly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and took out silver needles from his medical kit.
The two young masters were frightened and need some rest to recover. He originally wanted them to rest longer, but Madam insisted on waking them up, so he had no choice but to use acupuncture to wake them...
Jiang wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her embroidered handkerchief and turned to look at Shen Yuan: "How did Qing Shu and Chang Shu end up in the fish tank in your yard?"
"That fish tank is so big, taller than Qing Shu's book, how did they climb in?"
Seeing that Madam Jiang was implying something, Shen Yuan curled her lips and asked in return, "Madam Shen, are you suspecting me? Suspecting that I threw my younger brothers Changshu and Changqing into the water vat?"
"I..." Jiang wanted to deny it.
Shen Yuan didn't give her a chance to speak at all, and continued, "But what would I gain from doing this? Qing Shu and Chang Shu are my brothers, why would I harm them?"
