Chapter 17 The Lu Family's Calculation
Before Shen Yunyue even reached her own room, she heard someone arguing. This was going on day after day, and she was afraid it would get even more restless from now on.
"Miss Shen. The Lu family has sent someone to your house."
Shen Yunyue paused in confusion:
"Carry someone?"
"The unfavored daughter-in-law of the Lu family who fell today is in serious trouble now. The Lu family will carry her to your place and see if they can take advantage of her."
The person who spoke was the daughter-in-law of the Lu family's branch. Seeing that her father had a good impression of the Shen family, she said a few more words.
Shen Yunyue sneered in her heart, these people are really ridiculous.
He ran as fast as the wind.
Shen Citong and Mr. Shen’s brothers all came out.
Twenty or thirty people from the Lu family came and surrounded the half-dead woman.
The woman was carried to the ground at the door of the bunk bed and put down.
"Mr. Shen, our Lu family is not easy to bully. This happened because you pushed me down. Don't you have any explanation?"
The daughter-in-law of the Lu family who was speaking was about forty years old. She seemed to have lived a life of luxury in the past, but her triangular eyes were full of calculation.
"What a joke. You are the ones who came to rob our carriage and you don't even allow us to resist." Shen Citong crossed his arms and said coldly.
A few men from the Lu family also came over.
Scarface Peng stood nearby, his arms folded. Two escorts came running over to watch the fun.
"Then you can't do anything."
Shen Yunyue squeezed in from the crowd, her cold eyes sweeping over the Lu family members before finally landing on the woman lying on the ground. "Is she dying because of the fall?"
"What a pity. She thought she was sacrificing her life for her child's. Little did she know that on this cannibalistic road, without her mother's protection, the child would probably die soon."
After hearing Shen Yunyue's words, the person lying on the ground was obviously stunned.
Will the Lu family promise to treat the child well as they said?
"Ms. Chen, my life is worth at least some money. Please give my family 20 taels of silver. My life or death has nothing to do with you." The woman struggled and crawled on the ground.
"I'll give you 20 taels of silver. Tomorrow, I'm afraid there will be hundreds of people rushing to sacrifice their lives around my Shen family's carriage." Shen Yunyue naturally didn't feel sorry for these people. Think about how the Shen family begged others to spare a life.
Who cares?
"From now on, a human life will be worth less than a steamed bun."
Shen Yunyue raised her eyes and looked at Scarface Peng, "Master Peng, what do you think we should do?"
Peng Scarface stood in the crowd with his arms folded, his face stern. A space was automatically cleared around him. "I don't care about your shit."
"Thank you, Mr. Peng."
Shen Yunyue smiled faintly and casually instructed Ah Si:
"Uncle Si, we still have the strongest Shaodaozi. Send it to Chief Peng to warm himself up." Shen Yunyue believed that her Shaodaozi was a liquor that could not be bought outside.
Although it tastes spicy and chokes the throat, it is the favorite wine of the generals outside the Great Wall.
The bailiffs and other people who were out and about all day long also liked it. Ah Si responded and took two wine gourds from the back.
When one of the gourds is uncorked, the rich and pungent aroma of wine hits your nose.
Peng Chatou didn't want it at first, but the taste tempted him and made him want to eat it. His Adam's apple rolled over, and he handed the gourd in his hand to the monkey.
"It's for you."
The monkey was very happy, and these officers had wine to drink every day.
They are no match for the little guys.
Scarface Peng took the gourd Ah Si gave him and took a big sip. The fiery liquid flowed down his throat and into his stomach. He laughed loudly:
“This is good wine.”
Scarface Peng looked at Shen Yunyue again, his eyes revealing a meaningful expression. This little girl was quite courageous and scheming.
Shen Yunyue smiled and said slowly to the people at home:
"Don't block us here. There's nothing we can do if she's trying to kill herself at the door. Let's go get the bread."
"Sister-in-law, let's go get the steamed bread. If it's too late, there might not be any left." Shen Lu hurriedly spoke to Mo Yiran.
The people watching the excitement nearby also dispersed.
Steamed bread is more important than watching the fun.
Everyone left.
Shen Yunyue squatted on the ground, her eyes full of sarcasm and pity. "Why don't the Lu family leaders come out? I let you out as targets. Isn't it because I think your lives are worthless and your death is not worth it?"
The woman lying on the ground understood but could do nothing.
It's death anyway.
I just hope her death can give the child a chance to live.
"Miss Shen, please, please be kind and give me a chance to live." The woman kept begging Shen Yunyue. "I only have one steamed bun to eat every day. I really can't bear it anymore."
Shen Yunyue shook her head and said coldly:
"I gave you a way to live? But you blocked my way to live."
Once it starts, people will come and threaten to commit suicide every day.
Among the hundreds of people, the majority of lives can be sacrificed.
Shen Yunyue ignored the woman's wailing on the ground and walked into the house.
Fu Xuanheng sat in a wheelchair, his hands tightly gripping the handles. A fierce, crimson rage surged in his eyes, "Yunyue. Are you okay?"
Shen Yunyue pressed her eyebrows and sat on the long bench.
"It's okay. He just wants to control us. Since we are a small family, he wants to take us for granted."
"Come here, I want to tell you something." Fu Xuanheng waved gently.
Shen Yunyue walked over and bent down gently.
The furry face gently approached Fu Xuanheng's lips, and his lips accidentally brushed Shen Yunyue's cheek.
Fu Xuanheng blushed.
"What is it?"
Shen Yunyue felt strange. This guy didn't say anything strange.
He lowered his head, not knowing what was going on.
Fu Xuanheng approached Shen Yunyue's ear again, gently wrapped his hand around it, and whispered a few words.
"Really?" Shen Yunyue's eyes were shining with gold.
"Yeah. Not gonna lie."
"You secretly..."
Fu Xuanheng pulled Shen Yunyue closer to him and whispered a few more words, which made her completely silent.
Using the excuse of packing up her things on the large bunk bed, Shen Yunyue pulled a stalk of nourishing ginseng from the ground in the space. She broke off a few ginseng roots and soaked them in a water bag.
A few elderly people.
And there are ginseng roots in Fu Xuanheng's water.
She ignored the noise outside. The people who were waiting in line to receive their steamed bread came back. Several children were playing and laughing happily in the house.
The waiter at the post station came over with a basket, and Shen Yunyue stepped forward to take the basket.
She took the opportunity to put some white flour buns and two pounds of braised pork head in the basket. These were all things in the space.
Yingfeng came in carrying a wooden bucket of vegetable soup.
The family gathered around the table, eating steamed buns and drinking vegetable soup, cabbage and egg soup. Each person got two slices of two pounds of braised pork head.
After finishing her meal, Liu Xiaoyun started sewing Shubao's diapers again.
Yingfeng went to sleep in the carriage, and Shen Yunfeng and Shen Yuncheng wanted to follow. Mo Yiran was naturally reluctant to let them go, and the two little guys looked at Shen Yunyue for help.
"Mom, let them go. The Shen family will rely on them in the future. It's time to let my brothers grow up."
Mo Yiran felt very uncomfortable when he heard Shen Yunyue's words.
The former noble son of the Shen family has ended up in this state.
"Yunfeng, Yuncheng. Just follow Yingfeng. These two daggers are for your self-defense." Shen Yunyue took the two daggers from her legs.
She handed the dagger to Shen Yunfeng and the other man.
"Thank you, big sister." The two little guys liked the dagger very much. They took it, saluted together, and followed Yingfeng out.
After a while.
The woman from the Lu family screamed with her neck stretched out outside, and everyone in the room was startled.
Mo Yiran couldn't bear it.
"Yuebao. Should we…"
"Mom, there are hundreds of exiled people. Can you take care of them all?" Shen Yunyue said with a bad look on her face.
Anyone can be a good person.
But can good people stay out of trouble?
Mo Yiran remained silent after hearing this.
"Ah... uh..." The voice gradually weakened.
