Chapter 46
Shen Jiao said this in a very righteous manner, then fetched some water and knocked on the door of the main house.
She regretted it as soon as she saw Xue Shun's gloomy and dead face.
It's not a good idea to recall the ghost face on the roof early in the morning, and it seems even worse to talk about the dead early in the morning.
But before she could even speak, Xue Shun started scolding her: "You still remember to come back! Why didn't you leave outside?"
Shen Jiao: "I know the way better."
Xue Shun felt a lump in his heart.
Shen Jiao: "It won't be lost."
Xue Shun felt a pang in his heart.
Shen Jiao: "Thank you for your concern, sir."
Xue Shun's heart was filled with anger: "Is that what I meant?"
I don't want your opinion, I want my opinion!
Shen Jiao howled in his heart, feeling both unjustified and angry.
Then she pretended to be confused and said, "This servant is stupid, please explain clearly, sir."
Expressly?
How did Xue Shun make it clear?
Tell her that he couldn't even control two maids, so he could only lock himself up, starve and cry secretly, and even asked another maid to pretend to be a ghost to scare her? He was looking forward to her coming to ask if the master wanted to eat, but she just didn't come back. She dared to hear such words, and Xue Shun didn't dare to say anything. If he said a word, he would kill himself here. He also has some dignity, okay!
Although she must have known it, it was still different when someone else said it and when she said it herself.
Xue Shun didn't want to talk about this anymore. He sat down at the table with a cold face and said with a heavy heart, "Is everything done?"
"It's done. The things have been handed over to her parents."
Shen Jiao followed him in, soaked the towel in warm water, wrung it out and used it to wipe his face.
Xue Shun didn't let him. He took it and wiped it roughly before asking, "What was her parents' reaction?"
"I'm very happy and grateful. I even want to send two more daughters to be maids."
Shen Jiao told the truth.
Xue Shun felt that he should be happy that he was not hated, but he really couldn't be happy. His heart felt heavy as if a stone was pressing on it, making it hard to breathe.
"Did he get buried properly?"
"When I went there, it had already been buried in the wasteland."
The funeral is over, so let’s not talk about it, whether it’s good or bad.
Xue Shun could understand her hidden meaning and felt even more sad.
A good person died so quietly, why wouldn't they hate him?
Xue Lang...what right does he have?
"Come with me to the main courtyard later." Xue Shun said calmly, "Have you figured out who wants to leave and who doesn't?"
"There are still a few who are hesitant. I will go and ask them now. Do any of them want to stay?"
Why should he harm others and himself? Xue Shun said decisively:
"No, it's up to you. If you want to leave, it's the same."
"This servant is willing to stay with you, sir."
Wait three years.
Then the sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly!
Shen Jiao felt a surge of excitement just thinking about it, like a huge wave hitting a cliff, it felt so turbulent!
Xue Shun didn't know all this yet. He looked at her in surprise, only to see a calm face without any sign of reluctance.
He reminded her, "You won't get it again if you miss this opportunity. You don't have to be so stubborn. I'm willing to let you go. I'll just tell Mother that I don't want it anymore."
"I know. I don't want to leave. It's good to follow you, sir."
Even if we don't mention the things that were agreed upon, having a different master wouldn't necessarily be better than Xue Shun. Being a slave is inevitable to be worried. Unless it's necessary, it's best to make do with what you have. If they leave like this, they might be regarded as traitors, and their lives might be worse than now.
Shen Jiao was quite open-minded, but Xue Shun didn't appreciate it and said:
"Take a look at your brain. If you treat it early, you'll probably be able to recover."
It's good to follow him. How stupid a person must be to say such a thing? The maid he killed has just been buried.
Don't want to care about her.
Shen Jiao just laughed it off, and Xue Shun did not try to persuade him.
It's good that she doesn't leave, but Lingnu must leave. No matter whether she is truly loyal or pretending to be loyal, Xue Shun doesn't want her.
Luo Wendi doesn't care about these trivial matters. If he doesn't want it, then he doesn't want it. He can't control it anyway. Maybe it's better without it.
After Xue Shun went there and talked to her, she agreed.
Let him decide for himself.
Of the people in the yard, only Jinyu, Shenjiao, Qiongzhi, Liangua and a girl named Yugeer were left. She had a good relationship with Liangua, so she stayed. It had nothing to do with loyalty. If Liangua had said she wanted to leave, she would have followed him.
Ling Nu left very reluctantly and cried. She knelt outside the door for a long time, but Xue Shun still did not relent. In the end, Jin Yu threw a basin of water at her and drove her away.
Everyone was a little surprised.
Jin Yu has always had the best temper and has never been so fierce, but it doesn't seem strange that she behaves like this. After all, she has a good relationship with Yinhua. It is normal for her to be angry after suffering again this time.
Shen Jiao patted her trembling arms and said, "Go back. When we have time, let's go see Sister Yinhua."
"Okay..." There seemed to be tears in Jin Yu's eyes, and she looked very sad.
In the afternoon, he and Yinhua cried bitterly across the door. Their words were somewhat resentful towards the Sixth Young Master, but Yinhua resented Xue Shun even more, saying, "If I had known that I would be in trouble today, I would never have stayed in Liao'e Courtyard. When I get better, I will leave him and never go back."
Jin Yu was reluctant to part with her and whispered, "You can't blame Seventeenth Young Master entirely..."
"If not him, who else should I blame?!" Yinhua obviously didn't want to hear any of this, and her voice was piercing even through the door. "I'm so unlucky that I ended up with such a master. I didn't get any benefits at all, and he only made things difficult for me. When my mother asked me to serve him, I was reluctant, and now what's going on?"
She sneered and said, "Don't be foolish, you two. Find a way out as soon as possible. I don't think he will live long. Sooner or later, he will drag you down to the ground!"
"well……"
Jin Yu was silent for a moment.
Youyou sighed and said, "Take care of yourself and get well soon. We'll leave first and come to see you another day."
"Go on, go on, but watch your step, don't go astray and fall into the grave."
Yinhua's words became more and more unpleasant.
Jin Yu said nothing more and left in a daze.
Shen Jiao asked her, "Sister, who is Yinhua's mother? She sounds so powerful that she could be arranged to live in the young master's courtyard."
"Ah?" Jin Yu came back to her senses. "She's not that great. Yinhua's mother was just a nanny serving Qian Xiaoniang. She wasn't very prestigious, so it was impossible to arrange for her to be by his side. It was just that at that time, everyone knew about the Seventeenth Young Master's background and was reluctant to serve him, so her mother could easily squeeze someone in. Now, if she wants to go somewhere else, who knows how much effort it will take. And she is so stubborn that she refuses to restrain herself..."
Jin Yu shook his head and said nothing more.
Silence is better than words at this moment.
Shen Jiaoxin said:
That sounds really strange. What does it have to do with her how much effort she puts in? As long as they're happy, that's fine. Why are you getting sentimental about it? Besides, aren't you two a good couple? Talking about this behind their backs... isn't that inappropriate?
