Chapter 28: You've never had a reason to take action
Moustache was not in the temple, and no one noticed where he had gone. Similarly, no one noticed the absence of Concubine Feng and her daughter. Only Scarface Peng sat near the door, lashing the ground with his whip.
"Everyone, keep yourselves in check."
He Lushuang's mother closed her mouth in shock. Peng Scarface's horrifying look made it impossible for her to open her mouth.
"Shen family girl, just teach her a lesson. Stop making such a fuss." Scarface Peng's words were cold and threatening. "You're bothering me. Do you want to fight me in a duel?"
Shen Yunyue admitted defeat very straightforwardly, "No."
It fell into the ears of the He family.
But he could tell that Scarface Peng was on the Shen family's side this time.
Mr. He and his brothers looked at each other and asked for advice again from each other's eyes.
Shen Yunyue squatted in front of Fu Xuanheng with a smile on her face, looking at him with her hands on her cheeks. Although the days of exile were hard, she often secretly gave him some nourishing stews.
A dress made of black fine cotton.
Beneath his sword-like eyebrows, his narrow eyes rippled like spring water. His thin lips, a shade lighter in color, curled up in a sneer. His tall, lean figure made him look like a banished immortal, fallen to earth.
"Monster." Shen Yunyue's lips moved slightly.
Fu Xuanheng suppressed the sneer on his lips.
I felt inexplicably much better. It seems that his appearance is still useful.
"Sit down and rest for a while."
"I'm going to the corridor to check on the porridge. I'm afraid Yunfeng and the others will ruin it." Shen Yunyue reached out and pinched Fu Xuanheng's cold palm, then stood up and walked out with a smile on her face.
Fu Xuanheng touched the hand that was teased by Shen Yunyue and shook his head helplessly. This girl from the Shen family was really as interesting as his father said.
Shen Yunyue came to the corridor.
Mo Yiran and the others were queuing up to get their steamed buns, and she heard the argument between Shen Yunyue and He Lushuang.
I was worried that my daughter would suffer.
He was also afraid of offending the He family too much and getting into big trouble in the future.
Think about this.
Mo Yiran began to wipe away tears again.
Shen Yunyue came over and stirred the chicken soup in the pot with a spoon. The pheasant had a strong and fresh flavor. The rich aroma wafted out. Shen Yunyue put the previously washed rice into the pot and continued to simmer.
Once cooked, add some salt and pepper and stir.
The other side.
Yingfeng has already prepared a soup to prevent wind and cold.
"Miss Yue, would you like to drink the medicine first?" Yingfeng took the pot off the stove and started to boil another pot of medicine.
"Send the sergeant's medicine over first. It's cold and humid, so even if we haven't been caught in the rain, we still need to drink some medicine to ward off the cold." Shen Yunyue glanced at the rain curtain falling from the eaves and whispered. "Let the grandmothers take the medicine first. My eldest sister-in-law is pregnant and can't drink this medicine. Make her a separate ginger tea to ward off the cold."
"yes."
Yingfeng brought over the jar of medicine.
Not everyone could drink the herbal medicine. Generally, only the direct descendants of the main family had access to it. The direct descendants of the side branches might have it, or they might not, and it was even more impossible for the concubines to have it.
All concubines in the family who had no children were sent to the government office to be sold, just like the slaves in the house.
Concubines with children were exiled with them.
Everyone returned to the temple with their steamed buns, and many families went out to the forest to look for firewood. But those marginalized people who didn't have straw raincoats didn't dare go out.
Several skinny women deliberately approached Shen Yunyue's pot.
"Miss Shen, we just want to warm ourselves by the fire and dry our wet clothes."
"Please don't send us away."
Faced with the pitiful expressions of the women in front of her, Shen Yunyue couldn't bear it either.
"Okay. Don't have any other bad thoughts about me."
“No, thank you Miss Shen.”
The women wept with gratitude and brought their children over to the fire to warm them. One woman reached out to catch a handful of rainwater from the eaves and let her child lower his head to drink.
"Take another bite of the steamed bread. Put it in your mouth and eat it slowly."
Shen Yunyue saw that the child in her arms was only five or six years old, and had become extremely thin in just ten days.
"I'll finish my porridge later. I'll lend you the pot to boil some hot water."
Those women didn't expect Shen Yunyue to be willing to lend them the pot, and tears fell uncontrollably.
“Thank you, Miss Shen.”
One of them suggested:
"Don't eat our steamed bread yet. Let's cook it in the pot later. Okay?"
Several people looked at Shen Yunyue with pleading eyes, “Miss Shen, we will take good care of your pot.”
"Okay. There's only so much firewood. You can cook as much as you want." Shen Yunyue suppressed her anger and agreed kindly.
These days of exile.
In everyone's description.
Shen Yunyue has turned into a female devil.
But in the eyes of these women, she was like a fairy in the sky.
A woman from the Peng family said disdainfully:
"I bribed you guys by just lending you a pot. But I won't give you the porridge in the pot. It shows that you guys are spineless."
The squatting people looked at Shen Yunyue with embarrassment and apology.
They were afraid that she would no longer lend them the pot, but these people did not dare to fight back.
Shen Yunyue scratched her ear with her little finger and looked up at the woman who was speaking with a stern look. She looked to be in her twenties or thirties. Her face was sallow, her temper was heavy, and her expression was mean.
"Who ate your food? You can talk without any pain in your waist. Lend me a pot."
The woman thought Shen Yunyue would be angry and refused to lend her the pot.
But I didn't expect that he would confront her directly.
He said embarrassedly:
"They're just a bunch of low-class bastards who keep the men company. They think they can get away with it. Damn it, they should be sent to a brothel and ridden by a thousand men. With those little tricks, they've seduced the men and made them lose their minds, bringing disaster upon themselves."
The woman who had been hugging the child and talking to him earlier looked pale.
The hands holding his son were also shaking.
Shen Yunyue understood everything at once. The mistress was venting her anger on the concubine.
How could a concubine have the ability to influence her husband's official affairs?
It's just that I'm in trouble at home and I have to find someone to vent my anger on.
"If you want to control others, get away from me. Don't blame me for hitting you if you keep cursing at me." Shen Yunyue didn't want to listen to her nagging.
"Shen family girl. Why don't you understand? You shouldn't lend the pot to them." The woman turned to persuade Shen Yunyue, "You are also a daughter of status. There is no need to belittle your status and run into the lowly group."
Shen Yunyue was too lazy to listen to her crazy talk.
He raised his foot and kicked him, "I told you to stop nagging. You're the one running towards the lowlifes."
"Ouch. How come you didn't hear about this?"
"What are you doing?" Scarface Peng came out with a gloomy face.
Shen Yunyue retracted her foot and smiled awkwardly:
"Sir, don't blame me this time. She was the one who kept nagging me."
"Shen Yunyue, tell me a time when you didn't have a reason to take action."
After hearing what Scarface Peng said, Shen Yunyue thought about it carefully and nodded. "Master Peng, you're right. There are too many people looking for a fight. I'm kindhearted and I have no choice but to give them a beating."
Scarface Peng was speechless.
This girl looks afraid of him, but in fact she is not afraid of him at all.
Anyone else would have been beaten into submission by Scarface Peng long ago, but for some reason he inexplicably tolerated Shen Yunyue's actions.
"There won't be a next time."
"I'll listen to Officer Peng." Shen Yunyue nodded in agreement. "Officer, the porridge we cooked is ready. Please do me the honor of trying it."
"Give me a bowl, please."
Scarface Peng retracted his foot, turned around and sat next to Yingfeng and the others.
Shen Yunfeng had already made way for Scarface Peng to sit down on the wooden board.
The monkey brought Scarface Peng's bowl.
Shen Yunyue scooped a full bowl of porridge with three pieces of chicken in it.
He handed the bowl to him and whispered to the monkey:
"Bring the bowls for the other escorts in your group. There's still enough for half a bowl of porridge per person."
Monkey, Scarface Peng, and five other people were responsible for the Shen family and the other two families. As for the escorts with mustaches who came in later, it was naturally the He family who was responsible for providing food.
“Thank you, Miss Shen.”
The monkey snapped his fingers, and the bailiff came with a bowl.
Scarface Peng took a sip of the porridge. It was warm and had a special spicy taste. He couldn't help but look at Shen Yunyue twice. This girl was really extraordinary.
