Chapter 66 I Finally Met You
Everyone pointed at them.
"Aren't these the second, third, and fifth young masters of the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion? What wrong did they commit? Why are they all carrying whips on their backs?"
"Yesterday, I only heard that the Second Young Master abducted a butcher in order to marry a prostitute, and then abandoned her. I haven't heard of any wrongdoing by the Third Young Master and the Fifth Young Lady."
"Looking at them like this, it's obvious that they must have made a mistake. Who knows, the Third Young Master might have robbed someone's daughter, or the Fifth Young Miss someone's son. After all, with the Second Young Master's previous experience as a warning, it's not surprising that they would do such a thing."
“…”
After dinner, who doesn’t like to watch some fun and chat about some gossip?
The voices of the crowd's discussions reached their ears clearly.
The most shocked person was Shen Zhiyan. His pupils trembled violently. What happened yesterday had actually been spread out and known to everyone!!!
What is fortunate?
Yesterday he had dismissed all the servants around him, except the butcher.
As long as he dies, there will be no evidence.
He could have said that someone was deliberately slandering him.
But he forgot one thing, he was still under Xie Changning's control and was not yet the arrogant Grand Tutor.
The brambles were full of thorns that pierced deeply into his back, but he didn't feel any pain because his heart had been broken by his mother.
Don't think he doesn't know how this matter got out.
There will be no one else except my mother!
He hates his mother so much.
But fortunately, he still has a chance to turn things around. He only needs to wait for next spring's examination. With his talent, he will surely win the first prize.
By then...
"Ah! It hurts so much! Mother... I beg you, ask someone to take off these thorns on my back, my daughter really can't bear it anymore." Shen Jingshu had no time to pay attention to those discussions. Now she was almost regretting it to death.
She thought that accompanying her second brother to the Xiao family would mean sitting comfortably in a carriage, sheltered from the wind and sun, and having tea and snacks.
But what is the result?
Her mother had someone tie whips on her back, tied her hands, and asked her to run behind the carriage. How was this different from walking a dog?
More importantly, every time she took a step, the sharp thorns would pierce her delicate skin.
She could clearly feel the sticky area on her back; it was all her blood.
She almost fainted from the pain.
How could her mother do this to her?
"Mother has always been cruel and ruthless. Fifth sister, if you don't ask her, it will be useless even if you do. Who made us have such a cruel and vicious mother? We can only blame our bad luck!" Doesn't Shen Zhizhou feel pain? Although he likes to wield swords and guns, he only knows some basic skills.
He gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at the carriage where Xie Changning was.
He could bear it, but Shen Jingshu really couldn't bear it. Suddenly, she stumbled and fell heavily to the ground. She felt a sharp pain in her elbows and knees. There was no doubt that she had abrasions.
"Mother, it hurts so much, please forgive me!" She cried out loudly.
"Fifth sister!" Shen Zhiyan and Shen Zhizhou were startled and both shouted at the same time, "Stop the car! Stop the car! Fifth sister has fallen down."
In the carriage, Xie Changning seemed oblivious. She was leisurely sipping her tea. What was there to worry about if she fell? It wasn't like she would die. The carriage wasn't going very fast, so she could just get up.
Really, so delicate!
Now she won't indulge them anymore.
Shen Jingshu was dragged forward. Seeing that the carriage showed no sign of stopping, Shen Zhiyan and Shen Zhizhou were furious. "Mother, how delicate is my fifth sister? Do you want to kill her? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. You are so vicious."
Xie Changning then raised her eyelids indifferently, with a look of disgust on her face, "Noisy!"
Mother Du stuck her head out and gave the driver an instruction.
"Gee!" The driver raised his whip and hit the horse's back.
"Whisp..." The carriage accelerated instantly.
Even Shen Zhiyan and Shen Zhizhou nearly fell to the ground. The two of them were being pulled by the carriage and were running wildly, no longer caring about farting.
The worst off was Shen Jingshu. She was lying on the ground and couldn't get up. She could only be dragged forward by the carriage, screaming in pain.
Fortunately, the carriage only ran a dozen meters before returning to its previous speed.
"Fifth sister, please get up quickly." With the help of Shen Zhiyan and Shen Zhizhou, Shen Jingshu finally stood up. Her dress was torn in several places and stained with blood. She staggered behind the carriage, like a small white flower ravaged by the wind.
"Mother, I am your biological daughter. How could you treat me like this?" She cried out with tears in her eyes.
Xie Changning lowered his eyes and smiled when he heard this. It's hard to say.
"Madam is here!" Soon the carriage stopped at the door of the Xiao family.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Shen Zhiyan and Shen Zhizhou sat on the ground without any image, gasping for breath. Shen Jingshu collapsed on the ground with a deathly pale face. She kept crying and felt that she was about to die of grievance.
Aided by Mama Du, Xie Changning stepped down from the carriage in a dignified manner. She looked at the Xiao family's guards and said softly, "Please tell them that I've brought that beast, Shen Zhiyan, to personally apologize."
Mother Du hurriedly handed over the visiting card.
While the guards went in to report, Xie Changning took a look at those little beasts. He saw that each of their backs was covered in bloodstains, and they looked as miserable as stray dogs.
The worst off among them was Shen Jingshu. Her palms, elbows, and knees were also covered in blood, which showed that she was seriously injured.
The corners of her eyes turned up, and a hint of smile flashed across her eyes. In the future, she will use practical actions to show them what it means to be vicious and cruel!
But after a moment, Xiao Qingyuan and his wife Mo arrived.
"You beast, how dare you do such a thing." Xiao Qingyuan frowned and rushed forward to slap Shen Zhiyan several times. If it weren't for the letter from the Marquis's wife saying that she would bring Shen Zhiyan to apologize in person, he would have brought people to the Marquis's Mansion to kill him.
"Uncle, please listen to my explanation. It's all a misunderstanding..." Shen Zhiyan endured the pain in his back and the humiliation in his heart, and knelt in front of Xiao Qingyuan obediently.
"What misunderstanding? Is it about you and the butcher, or is it about you wanting to marry that brothel girl?" Mrs. Mo asked sternly.
Chen Zhiyan's face was calm. "Both of these things are misunderstandings. I fell in love with Miss Xiao at first sight, so how could I do anything to let her down? The marriage with that brothel girl was arranged by my mother without my permission, and it was my mother who forced me to break off the engagement with Miss Xiao and marry that brothel girl. As for the butcher rumor, it's completely absurd! I'm a student at the Imperial College, always excelling in both character and learning, and I have great ambitions. I'll be preparing for the Spring Examination next year, and I'm sure I'll pass. How could I do something that would ruin my future?"
He had already thought of his excuse on the way here.
His mother wanted to destroy him, but he refused to let her do so.
Xiao Qingyuan and Mrs. Mo were stunned for a moment, and they both looked at Xie Changning at the same time. What was going on?
Xie Changning had long expected that Shen Zhiyan would do this, and she curled her lips lightly, before she could speak.
"Second Young Master, I finally see you. How could you abandon me after having affairs with me? I want you to be responsible for me!" Butcher Wang appeared in front of everyone with a handkerchief in his hand. He looked at Shen Zhiyan with resentment and stomped his feet.
