After breakfast, Ge Chunru was forced to clean up the dishes and then was forced by Niu to do embroidery.
Niu even found a thin willow branch and would hit Ge Chunru with it whenever he was unwilling or lazy.
This is entirely due to Shi Qing's failure to attend school.
This is how Shi Qing treated them when she was living in her mother's home. She thought it was just the right way to deal with Ge Chunru.
As a result, Ge Chunru began to fall into dire straits.
She had to get up in the morning to work, and light a lamp at night to embroider until very late. Only when she was leisurely eating melon seeds would Niu let her go to bed.
The time she went out to buy groceries and sleep every day became the time she looked forward to the most and felt most relaxed.
She tried to resist, but was beaten even more fiercely by Niu.
Once, Niu even pulled out a large lock of his hair, causing his scalp to bleed.
From time to time, Niu would slap him in the face, and his face was often swollen.
The bruises on his body from being whipped by willow branches had not healed at all. As soon as the old wounds healed, new ones appeared.
She couldn't defeat Niu, and when she asked for help from her own brother, whom she thought she could rely on, she was ignored.
Only then did she realize that her brother and the Niu family were in cahoots.
How could he do this to her? Gradually, she became so scared of being beaten that she no longer dared to resist. She could only work and embroider, and her injuries slowly healed.
But if Niu was in a bad mood, she would scold her harshly and viciously, and even pinch and hit her.
Ge Chunru would lie in bed crying every day. She had never imagined that one day she would live such a miserable life, a life worse than death.
She was obviously so good to her brother, but he allowed Niu to treat her like this. He was simply not a human being.
She couldn't help but think of Shi Qingluo saying she was a joke, Xiao Yuanshi saying wait and see her get punished by an ungrateful person, and her sister saying she was stupid.
Only then did she realize that the brothers and sisters she thought she could rely on were all ungrateful people, each more cruel and ruthless than the other.
She recalled it carefully and realized that it was really her younger brothers and sisters who caused her to end up in this situation.
In order to give money to the two ungrateful people, she began to empty the General's Mansion. At that time, Xiao Yuanshi tolerated it because he loved her.
But there were some gaps between them. If she had tried her best to make up for it at that time, she would definitely be able to repair their relationship.
But she thought that she had her sister's support, so she deliberately took her sister to slap Xiao Yuanshi in the face.
In order to give money to her younger siblings, she once again became estranged from Xiao Yuanshi, giving Liu Ru an opportunity to take advantage of her.
After arriving in North City, her sister wrote to complain that she was short of money. In order to raise money for her sister, she accepted 50,000 taels from the Prince Jin's Mansion, which also led to her being demoted to a concubine by Xiao Yuanshi.
In order to help her brother pay off his gambling debts, she stole Xiao Yuanshi's important treasure map and was completely driven out.
When she was a child, her parents always told her that her younger brothers and sisters needed her to take care of them.
So she has always given in to her younger siblings since she was a child. She doesn't think there is anything wrong with her parents favoring her younger siblings and asking her to do all the work.
When she grew up, her parents died. She felt that the eldest sister was like a mother, so she raised her younger brothers and sisters.
The two ungrateful people who were treated to good food and drink had never thought about their sister.
Now she surprisingly discovered that the only person who had treated her well and doted on her since she was a child was actually Xiao Yuanshi.
He truly held her in his hands and loved her dearly, giving her whatever she wanted. He even divorced his original wife and cut off ties with his own children for her.
But what did she do? She pushed him away completely with her own hands, making him hate her.
Ge Chunru cried all night long, feeling nothing but regret.
She suddenly missed Xiao Yuanshi madly.
So the next day, while buying groceries, he ran to the Deputy Governor's Office.
She knew she was wrong, and she wanted to admit her mistake to Xiao Yuanshi and ask him to forgive her.
But the housekeeper didn't let her in.
Then he rushed over quickly.
Xiao Yuanshi wanted to take Ge Chunyi out of the city today, but was stopped by Ge Chunru who suddenly rushed out.
He had no choice but to get off the carriage. Seeing that Ge Chunru had aged ten years, looked haggard and miserable, with scars on his face, he did not feel distressed but rather felt relieved.
Of course he knew what kind of life Ge Chunru had been living recently, and he had deliberately wanted her to experience it.
When Ge Chunru saw the still handsome man, she couldn't help but throw herself into his arms.
"General, I missed you so much."
This was what she called him when they were together, and she also wanted to arouse his feelings.
But Xiao Yuanshi stepped back in a hurry, leaving her empty-handed.
Xiao Yuanshi raised his eyebrows, "Ge Chunru, what are you crazy about?"
Ge Chunru looked aggrieved and burst into tears, "General, I know I was wrong, and I will never let you down again."
"I will no longer have any contact with my mother's family and will not help them."
"I have thought a lot these days and realized that you are the most important person in my heart."
She looked at him with eyes full of desire and expectation, "Will you forgive me?"
She really couldn't stand her current hard life anymore, and the only one who could save her was Xiao Yuanshi.
Xiao Yuanshi seemed to have heard a joke, "Now you know that your ungrateful brother is not a good guy?"
"I warned you before, but you still blamed me."
"Ge Chunru, you actually came back to beg for my forgiveness. Where's your face? Where's your former pride?"
"But the more vile and shameless you are, the more I despise you."
Xiao Yuanshi said truthfully: "Even when I see your current appearance, I feel disgusted and think you deserve it."
"You brought this upon yourself. You have to finish the path you chose, even if it means crying and kneeling."
"Don't bother me anymore. I can't possibly forgive you, let alone help you."
When Xiao Yuanshi saw Ge Chunru like this, he suddenly felt bored.
He had already taken revenge on her in the best possible way, and she was not worthy of him taking action again.
How much I loved you before, how much I hate you now.
Ge Chunru didn't expect Xiao Yuanshi to say such cruel and unpleasant words. She was so heartbroken that she almost suffocated.
The pride and secret expectations that he had felt since leaving the Vice Governor's Mansion were completely shattered at this moment.
In fact, she has always had a self-deceiving idea in her heart, that is, Xiao Yuanshi still has her in his heart.
As long as she takes the initiative to admit her mistake and beg for forgiveness, and never makes the same mistake again, he will continue to accept and pamper her as before.
But now she knew that it wouldn't happen. She really lost all of Xiao Yuanshi's feelings for her because of those two ungrateful people.
She knew that once he was determined to be ruthless, he would be harder than stone.
Just then, the window of the carriage was pushed open.
The gorgeously dressed Ge Chunyi looked at Ge Chunru and said, "Sister, I told you when I left that Ge Chunyi is an ungrateful person. If you continue to live with them, you will not have an easy life."
"But you didn't listen. Do you regret it now?"
When Ge Chunru saw her sister sitting in Xiao Yuanshi's carriage, her heart ached again.
Her face was very ugly. "You are also an ungrateful person. How dare you criticize others?"
