As soon as he entered the door, he heard the news that Shen Wei was a concubine.
Shen Xiuming couldn't hide the surprise on his face: "Third sister, it would be great if you could be my concubine! Wouldn't I become the brother-in-law of the King of Yan? I can walk sideways in Yanjing in the future!"
Shen Xiuming was seventeen years old, handsome and had a bad temper. Who would have thought that he was a well-known child prodigy when he was young and passed the imperial examination at a young age.
Today, Chen Xiuming is addicted to sex, alcohol and gambling, and has become a good-for-nothing that everyone laughs at.
"Third sister, how much is your monthly salary as a concubine? Is it ten taels of silver?" Shen Xiuming looked at Shen Wei eagerly.
But when he saw Shen Wei's worn-out clothes and the bruises on her face that had not yet disappeared, Shen Xiuming could not help but be stunned.
Shen Wei "embarrassedly" took out her purse and handed it to Shen Xiuming, with tears in her eyes: "Sister only has one or two taels of silver left, and the rest of the money was taken away by the nanny. But don't worry, brother, sister will definitely work hard to live and make money for you. My brother is a juren, and one day he will pass the imperial examination."
As she spoke, Shen Wei stuffed the money into Shen Xiuming's hands, her eyes full of concern.
The worn-out purse was stained with blood and had a strange smell.
Holding the money handed over by Shen Wei, Shen Xiuming suddenly felt it was very hot.
"You silly girl! Keep the money for yourself and don't give it to this beast!" Upon seeing this, Shen's mother snatched the purse back and stuffed the ten taels of silver back into Shen Wei's hands.
Chen Wei held the silver coins in her hand, tears falling down: "Mother, brother... It's really hard for me to stay in the palace. The prince is tyrannical and often tortures me to death; other concubines bully me every day, maids steal my things, and nannies beat and scold me at will... I knelt in front of the princess for two days before I was able to get the opportunity to leave the palace to see mother and brother."
Shen Wei wiped her tears and her sleeves slipped down.
Her fair arms were covered with circles of red, blue and purple marks, which looked scary.
This was actually left behind by the King of Yan and her during their love affair.
Shen Wei has a special skin, which turns red if you pinch it lightly. Her arm looked badly injured, but in fact it was not damaged at all.
"You...your hand?" Mother Shen was horrified, wondering how much torture he had suffered.
Shen Wei quickly retracted her hand, and used her sleeve to cover the "wounds". She forced a smile: "Mom, brother, it's okay... It's just that I accidentally bumped into the prince last night, and he beat me until midnight. My arm, and the wound he cut with a knife..."
Mother Shen was shocked. This King Yan had always been known for his virtue, but she didn't expect that he was actually a cruel person in private!
Shen Xiuming fell silent.
Although he likes drinking and gambling, he still has a sisterly and brotherly relationship with Shen Wei. When Shen's mother was away from home working, it was his third sister who accompanied him in reading and writing. When he was chased and bitten by wild dogs in the village, it was his third sister who tried her best to protect him.
Shen Xiuming originally thought that his sister could live a good life as a slave in the palace.
But now it is such a tragic situation.
With a bang, the closed door opened again. Aunt Rong appeared with a cold face. She looked at everyone in the room with a gloomy gaze, as if she was looking at some lowly animals.
Rong Ma said coldly: "Mrs. Shen, the visiting time is over, follow me back to the palace now. You still have two hundred pieces of clothes to wash today, don't think about being lazy."
Chen Wei burst into tears and knelt on the ground, crying and saying, "Mammy, I haven't seen my mother and brother for a long time. Please be kind and let me talk to them more."
Madam Rong's eyelids twitched.
My master, if you dare to kneel, I really can’t bear it!
Madam Rong tried hard to maintain a cold expression, playing the role of a vicious and cruel maid in the palace: "You are the prince's concubine. Although you are not favored, you must never see other men in private."
Shen Wei rubbed her eyes and choked up, "This is not a stranger, he is my younger brother. He is full of talent and will definitely be the top scorer in the high school in the future—"
Madam Rong couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She looked at the pale-faced Shen Xiuming with a look of disgust and contempt, "Just him? A gambler and lustful waste, not even as good as the lowest servant in the palace."
