Chapter 106: Whipping to vent anger
Kong Dezhao was full of anger. At this time, the Su family became sheep, and he was a wolf.
The usually ferocious Su Huaishan and Su Dingqin were so shocked and at a loss that they dared not fight back.
Yu Shengsheng looked at them calmly and clenched his fists silently.
They have this day too!
Kong Dezhao grabbed Su Huaishan with one hand and held a crossbow arrow in the other, with the sharp tip of the arrow against his throat.
"Where are the people?"
Su Huaishan didn't even dare to move his Adam's apple: "In the woodshed in the side yard."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kong Tu immediately turned around and grabbed a servant: "Lead the way."
Su Yanshu rushed over after hearing the news and was also shocked when he saw the scene.
He stepped forward and bowed, smiling: "Sir, please take your time if you have anything to say. My second uncle has a reckless temper. Please bear with me if I have offended him."
"He has a reckless temper, so I should be more tolerant of him? Why? I have a bad temper too, how can he be tolerant?"
"Can you handle it? Don't think that just because you go to pick me up, you can have the confidence to make demands in front of me."
Su Yanshu was about to speak when Kong Dezhao said sarcastically, "Lu Laosan and this prince had a fight. I don't even take responsibility for the Lu family. How can you, the Su family, be worthy of it?"
Su Yanshu cursed in his heart, this man is so moody and ruthless. He turned to look at Yu Shengsheng, hoping that she could say something at this time.
But Yu Shengsheng noticed his gaze and didn't even look back at him.
Su Yanshu was secretly angry and was thinking about how to start talking when he suddenly smelled an unpleasant odor.
A bit fishy and a bit smelly.
Yu Shengsheng also smelled it and immediately looked up in the direction of the source of the smell, his eyes suddenly widened.
Kong Tu and a trembling servant were carrying a door panel, on which lay a person, with disheveled hair, his gray hair all in tangles, tattered clothes, and bare feet, but no shoes.
The wounds on her back were mixed, old and new, some of which had already festered. The bloody wounds on her legs were also stacked up on top of each other, and there were even a few flies flying around her.
Yu Shengsheng's heart felt like it was suddenly pressed down by a huge rock, causing her to feel pain and unable to breathe.
She staggered to the door and wanted to touch it, but was afraid of hurting her wound, and her fingers trembled so much that she didn't know where to put them.
"Grandma Wu..."
She spoke softly, afraid of waking Grandma Wu, but also afraid that she might not wake up.
Grandma Wu made a vague sound in her throat and her eyelids trembled.
Yu Shengsheng quickly knelt on the ground, stroked her hair, and tears fell from her eyes.
"Grandma Wu, I'm Shengsheng, how are you?"
Grandma Wu didn't open her eyes, but smiled: "I'm fine, I'm fine."
"Shengsheng, don't worry."
Yu Shengsheng pressed the ground with one hand and gently stroked her hair with the other. The skin under her fingertips was incredibly hot, obviously she had a fever.
"Baobao, go get the doctor," Yu Shengsheng's voice suddenly rose, "Quick!"
"Oh, yes, yes."
Jin Baobao ran out.
Yu Shengsheng's throat was blocked. She hated Su Huaishan, and hated herself even more.
How could I be so stupid to believe what Mrs. Su said and think that Grandma Wu was really helping with some chores.
Why didn’t you think of inquiring privately? Why didn’t you find out earlier!
"Grandma Wu, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I've caused you trouble."
Grandma Wu forced herself to open her eyes. The scene in front of her gradually became clearer, and her consciousness became clearer: "Shengsheng? Is it really you? How are you? Are you okay?"
Just now she thought she was in a dream and was not conscious, but now that she could see it clearly, she became worried again.
"I'm fine," Yu Shengsheng wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, "Don't worry, I'll take you back to the yard and treat your injuries."
Grandma Wu moved her lips and wanted to say something, but Yu Shengsheng suppressed her grief and said, "Please stop talking and have a good rest. We'll talk when you get better."
Grandma Wu nodded and closed her eyes again.
Yu Shengsheng suddenly turned around and looked at Su Huaishan. Her eyes were like a cold sword, as if she wanted to stab him through.
Su Huaishan met her gaze, not afraid, nor did he feel that he had done anything wrong. He was just an old slave, a lowly slave from the countryside, so what? Even if he was killed with a knife, no one could say anything.
Kong Dezhao narrowed his eyes and waved to Kong Mao.
Kong Mao walked up quickly and Kong Dezhao took the whip from behind his waist.
"Here," Kong Dezhao handed the whip to Yu Shengsheng.
Yu Shengsheng stood up, took the whip, and walked towards Su Huaishan.
Su Dingqin and Su Yanshu were shocked and said in unison: "Shengsheng, stop it!"
"Shengsheng, don't be afraid, do whatever you want," Kong Dezhao looked at them disdainfully, "If anyone dares to bully you again, my sword will not be a pushover."
Madam Su said with red eyes: "Shengsheng, don't be impulsive. He is your second uncle and an elder! If you lay hands on an elder, your reputation will be ruined if it gets out."
Yu Shengsheng lowered his eyes to look at the whip and chuckled, "Reputation? What do I need reputation for? Besides, my reputation was ruined when I went to Zhenqiao Tower."
Madam Su choked - it was she who requested with all her might that Yu Shengsheng go to Zhenqiao Tower, and she also promised her that she would let Grandma Wu return to her after she rescued Su Dingqin.
Kong Dezhao laughed out loud: "Shengsheng is right, reputation is not important, happiness is the most important."
Yu Shengsheng swung out the first whip with a "snap" and hit Su Huaishan hard.
Su Huaishan gritted his teeth in pain and held back the groan in his throat.
Just when I could hold it in, the second whip came.
Su Huaishan shuddered, but gritted his teeth and held it back.
"Snap!" The third whip.
Yu Shengsheng tried his best, his eyes almost spitting fire.
The first whip was for distorting the truth for the Su family, and pushing her out to take the blame even though they knew she was wronged;
The second whip was for the Su family's cold-bloodedness, trampling on her sincerity at will;
The third whip was for the Su family's hypocrisy, clearly treating her as a pawn and bargaining chip, yet still claiming to be doing it for her own good;
The fourth whip was because the Su family broke their promise, lied to her again and again, and seriously injured Grandma Wu!
The fifth whip...
Yu Shengsheng didn't remember how many times she was whipped, she only remembered that she was almost exhausted and could hardly stand. Su Huaishan was covered in blood and couldn't help but screaming in pain even after gritting his teeth.
Yu Shengsheng knew that this beating would completely sever her relationship with the Su family.
But it doesn't matter, she no longer cares about it.
She swayed and almost fell, and Kong Dezhao supported her.
"Did you vent your anger? If not, I'll fight for you."
Yu Shengsheng bowed and thanked him solemnly: "Thank you, my lord. I want to take Grandma Wu back to the courtyard to treat her injuries."
"No problem," Kong Dezhao agreed immediately.
After a brief thought, he said, "I don't think this is a good place. Why don't you come with me? No one will dare to bully you in the manor."
The faces of the Su family members changed slightly. They just wanted to use Yu Shengsheng to contain the Nanshun Palace. If Yu Shengsheng just left like that, how could they complete the task assigned by the prince and how could they make achievements in front of the emperor?
Yu Shengsheng’s mind was racing - was it better to stay at the Su family for a while, or to leave?
