Episode 11: Compassionate Heart
Mrs. Zhou held Yu Shengsheng tightly and refused to let go.
"My leg was broken by the order of the princess. In this general's mansion, no one is willing to use me, but you are the only one who doesn't despise me. I belong to you, Miss Sheng."
Mrs. Zhou burst into tears: "Miss, please, for yourself and for Aunt Wu, don't be impulsive."
Yu Shengsheng was startled and looked down at her.
"Miss, you have to put the overall situation first!"
Yu Shengsheng closed her eyes slightly. She had to put the overall situation first and take Grandma Wu and Zhuo Ge'er away from here safely.
If she doesn't show mercy now, Grandma Wu's punishment will continue to increase.
"Okay, I won't go."
She spoke each word between her teeth, engraving the lesson in her heart. She would be more careful in the future and not let anyone find any fault with her.
She stood in the yard, motionless, listening to the sound of the panel outside falling on Grandma Wu, but she could not hear Grandma Wu cry out in pain.
It seemed to fall on her heart, and the pain spread to every corner of her body, leaving no place untouched.
Thirty-one.
She counted silently in her mind, exactly thirty-one.
The noise outside gradually faded away, and Grandma Wu was also dragged away.
Mrs. Zhou was still worried while holding Yu Shengsheng: "Miss Sheng, you can't go now. You have to be patient for a while."
"I know."
…
In the old lady’s courtyard.
She leaned against an ice silk pillow, holding sandalwood Buddhist beads in her hand, listening to Nanny Zhao report what had just happened.
"In my opinion, she was also scared. The Second Young Master wanted to plead for her, but she refused. The Second Young Master got really angry."
The old lady closed her eyes slightly, her waist straightened, as if she was meditating: "Afraid? I think she can endure it. This kind of perseverance is not something that everyone can do."
Aunt Zhao chuckled: "Are you overthinking her? She's only sixteen years old."
The old lady turned the beads and said kindly, "Forget it, as long as she behaves herself, let's leave it this way for now. Anyway, she will be useful soon, so I don't need to worry about her anymore."
"yes."
…
When it was completely dark, Yu Shengsheng took out the cloak she had prepared and quickly walked out of the hospital.
Ruzhu had gone to rest long ago, and Mrs. Zhou stayed behind to look after the yard.
Passing through the secluded courtyard and walking along the deserted path, Yu Shengsheng finally arrived at the courtyard where Nanny Wu lived.
It was pitch black, silent and deserted.
"grandmother."
Yu Shengsheng didn't dare to turn on the light and tried hard not to cry, for fear that tears would blur her vision and make it even harder to see clearly.
Grandma Wu forced herself to open her eyes, grinned, struggled to remember, and fell back again.
Yu Shengsheng quickly supported him: "Don't move, I brought some herbs, I'll apply them on you."
In the afternoon, she stayed in the yard, drew a picture of herbs, and asked Mrs. Zhou to go to the garden to find some herbs.
Grandma Wu said with pain: "It's okay, the old lady gave me medicine, I'm fine, I've already asked someone to apply it on me."
Yu Shengsheng bit her lip and said nothing. She looked at the medicine bottle on the table. It was indeed a good medicine.
The old lady behaved as usual, appearing kind and gentle in words, but she was ruthless and never showed mercy.
Yu Shengsheng applied medicine and bandaged Grandma Wu again. Seeing the bloody wound, she turned her head away and tears fell.
He wiped away his tears and held Grandma Wu's hand. The old and the young looked at each other in silence.
On her way back, Yu Shengsheng's clothes brushed against the grass by the roadside. She was like the grass, inconspicuous and unloved, but she would not give in easily.
Go through the last moon gate and walk through the garden to reach her residence.
In the garden, there is a person under the golden osmanthus tree.
"Sister." Su Zhiyi turned his head and looked at her with a smile.
The moonlight was cold, and it fell on her face through the gaps between the branches and leaves, brightly and dimly reflecting the smile that floated on the surface.
Yu Shengsheng paused slightly, walked over slowly, and stopped two meters away from her.
Su Zhiyi stretched out his hand, and there was a beautiful medicine box in his palm: "This is the best external injury medicine, which my brother brought back from the border. You can take it."
Yu Shengsheng didn't move: "No need, thank you very much."
She stood there with her arms folded in front of her, her posture perfect.
Su Zhiyi's eyes fell on her hands. Her hands were smooth and delicate, and every strand was as white as a scallion.
It turned out that when he first came, his hands were rough and cracked, and several nails were broken.
Su Zhiyi once gave her several kinds of fragrant flower ointments for her hand application. After two years, she finally developed a pair of hands that a rich girl should have.
After a year in Villa, these hands haven't changed.
However, the right arm had been broken before. Su Dingqin did it himself. He was a military general, and it was easy for him to break the arm of a thin girl.
Su Zhiyi didn't force it, her smile became even stronger, and she chatted like a real sister: "Sister, you blame me for having lived a good life for you for more than ten years. If you say it's reasonable, it's actually unreasonable."
Yu Shengsheng remained calm, not even her eyelashes trembling.
"You can't blame me for this. It's your adoptive mother who holds a grudge against me. I also lost my biological parents, so I'm a pitiful person too."
"My position as a princess and my glory are all earned by myself, not by my father or brother. If you don't accept my request, sister..."
"I am convinced," Yu Shengsheng interrupted, "I am very convinced. If the princess has nothing else to teach me, I will take my leave first."
Su Zhiyi was silent for a moment, then his smile deepened: "You scared my horse back then. If I were awake, I would definitely not bother with you. But, when I wake up, the matter will be settled."
Yu Shengsheng raised her head, and Hantan's eyes met her smiling eyes: "Did I scare your horse? Your guard Ru Jian knows it clearly."
I don't want to get too entangled with Su Zhiyi. Nothing good ever happens when you confront her.
Yu Shengsheng herself was not afraid, but she could not implicate Grandma Wu again.
After she said that, she turned around and walked away without waiting for Su Zhiyi's response.
After her back disappeared, Ru Jian came out from behind the tree and said in a deep voice, "Princess."
Su Zhiyi smiled and said, "It's none of your business, don't take it to heart."
"Thank you, my lord."
Su Zhiyi glanced in the direction where Yu Shengsheng disappeared, hiding the coldness in her eyes: So what if they are biological children? They still can't resist fame, wealth and status.
With the title of princess, the only person that the Su family will abandon at any time is Yu Shengsheng.
Yu Shengsheng, you’re not even qualified to have the surname Su.
After a difficult night, Yu Shengsheng woke up from her dream before dawn.
I opened my eyes and saw a ray of moonlight. I exhaled heavily and kept reminding myself that this was not in the Villa.
I couldn't sleep anymore, so I got up early, washed and changed my clothes, and went to pay my respects to the old lady early in the morning.
The Su brothers and sisters may not need it, but she can’t.
Before reaching the old lady's yard, I ran into Su Dingqin.
He changed into court robes and went to court early.
When he saw Yu Shengsheng, Su Dingqin's lips curled slightly.
"You want to send Big Brother to court so early?"
Before, Yu Shengsheng would often send him to court. She would pull his sleeve with sleepy eyes, and when they reached the gate of the mansion, she would watch him jump on his horse and applaud and say how impressive he was.
Yu Shengsheng was away this year, and he was a little uncomfortable at first.
When I looked up and saw the silver hairpin on Yu Shengsheng's head, I thought it was inappropriate.
"After the court session today, I will be back and take you for a walk..."
As he spoke, he raised his hand to pull out the hairpin in Yu Shengsheng's hair.
Yu Shengsheng took a step back and bowed his head.
"I dare not delay the young general's court session. I still have to go and pay my respects to the old lady."
Su Dingqin's hands froze and his expression fell. He was actually going to pay his respects, not to send him to court?
