Chapter 71 Accident 3 This Beastly Man
Su He struggled several times, but was finally defeated by the man's strength. After being dragged into the house by the man, he waved his hand and threw her to the ground.
Fortunately, there was a velvet carpet on the floor, which cushioned the impact and prevented her from getting hurt.
Her hair was disheveled, and she slumped on the ground. "What on earth do you want to do, young master?"
The man laughed a few times. "You're the beauties, and I'm the benefactor. What do you think I want to do?" He pointed to another beauties lying on a couch in the room and said, "She should have a deeper understanding of what I want to do."
The girl also had messy hair and looked disheveled. Her collar was torn, revealing a large area of skin on her chest and shoulders, which was covered in scars and blood.
A blood-stained whip was thrown next to the couch.
It's obvious that this man has a sadistic tendency to kill.
Su He calmed herself down and said, "Sir, you know I'm here to serve Master Zhou, the Shangshu Ling's only son, Zhou Yuanze. If you try to take advantage of me, you'll probably get yourself into trouble."
The man squatted down, pinched her jaw hard, and looked at her.
He looks young, but he has a pair of mature eyes, like a thousand-year-old monster, with unpredictable intentions.
He said, "You, Hua Niang, are quite interesting. You even know how to use the Zhou family to pressure others. But I'm afraid I will disappoint you. I have never taken the Zhou family seriously." After saying that, he grabbed her hair and dragged her to the bed.
Su He's head was splitting with pain from being pinched by him.
She wanted to open the bracelet and sprinkle the powder on him, but now she was being held by him and was in an unfavorable position.
The man dragged her to the open space in front of the couch, then grabbed his belt and whipped her fiercely, cursing as he did so: "Women are like cattle and horses. They need to be trained one whip at a time. Only when they are docile can they be ridden..."
Su He arched his back, letting the belt hit his spine again and again.
For a moment, she seemed to be back in the Li family, back to the day when she was beaten by Li Shuli. At that time, she also gritted her teeth and endured it, and did not fight back.
But today's Soho is no longer the Soho of the past.
Even if Su He today meets Li Shuli back then, he will not allow her to beat or scold him.
She begged softly, "Sir, please don't be angry. I am willing to serve you."
He added, "I hope you will spare me, sir."
The man finally stopped after hearing this.
He leaned on his hands and knees, panting, as if the few blows to his belt had drained all his strength.
He smiled and said, "You're quite tactful." After saying that, he threw away the belt in his hand, bent down, and tried to tear off Su He's clothes.
"Sir, wait a minute." Su He protected her clothes with her arms. "Can we... go to bed?"
The man chuckled: "You are just my cattle and horses, are you worthy of sleeping on my bed?"
Without waiting for Su He's response, he reached out again to pull at her clothes.
Su He opened the bracelet with lightning speed and sprinkled the medicinal powder on the man...
But in a moment, the man lost consciousness, his body swayed, and he fell to the ground like a dead pig, with half of his body pressing on Su He's.
She was disgusted and pushed the man away with great effort.
Then she got up from the ground, took a breath, and tidied her hair and clothes.
Looking up, the room was lit by candlelight, and all the utensils were luxurious and shiny. From the open wooden cabinet, several men's clothes embroidered with auspicious clouds could be seen.
It's obvious at a glance that this man has been staying here for a long time.
Su He walked towards the couch.
Hua Niang, who was covered in wounds, huddled on the couch. She looked at her in fear, then at the man on the ground: "He... he's dead?"
"Not dead, just unconscious."
"This...what's going on?"
Su He comforted her: "Don't worry, he won't wake up until tomorrow morning, you have enough time to escape."
Then he asked: "How are your injuries? Can you walk by yourself?"
Hua Niang shook her head in panic and began to sob, "There are guards outside, and there's also Mother Liu. Where can we escape to?"
If you are born in a brothel, you will either die from the violence of men or from the punishment of the madam. No matter which choice you make, it is a dead end.
Su He was helpless for a moment and stood up to look out the window.
Under the window is a huge terrace that almost connects the entire second floor. There is also a staircase leading to the first floor on the left side of the terrace.
She was delighted and turned to pull the sheets off the bed. "I'll help you escape from this window. After that, you can go to a house called 'Tzu Chi Yuan' in Ping'an Lane. There's a place for you there."
Hua Niang was still crying: "I... I don't dare..."
Su He was very disappointed: "If you don't dare, you will have no way to survive."
Hua Niang choked up and said, "Or, my sister should escape first."
She also thought she was the new flower girl, so she called her "sister".
Su He asked: "What are you going to do?"
Hua Niang stopped crying and glanced at the unconscious man. "Not only can we not afford to offend this man, but even Mother Liu can't afford to offend him. I...I will stay in this room until tomorrow. When he wakes up and asks about it, I will say...I will say that my sister also knocked me unconscious. That way, maybe...I can escape."
Su He looked at her, speechless for a moment.
Faced with cruel fate, some people choose to resist, while others choose to surrender.
It’s hard to say who is smarter than who, maybe they just make different choices.
She then asked, "Who is this person?"
"I heard from Madam Liu that she was a noble person from the palace, but as for who she is exactly... I don't know either."
Su He gasped: "You really won't run away?"
Hua Niang shook her head: "I won't run away."
"Okay, then I'll run away." She turned and left.
She couldn't afford to offend the nobles in the palace, but she could afford to hide from them.
When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and turned to ask, "Sister, do you know which room Zhou Yuanze is in?"
"Sister, are you looking for Master Zhou?"
"yes."
Hua Niang hesitated, fearing trouble, but eventually revealed, "Counting from this room, the fifth one is Mr. Zhou's room."
"Thank you, sister." Su He turned around and went out, closing the door gently.
She returned to the corridor on the third floor.
The world returned to peace, as if the fierce fight had never happened.
Su He adjusted her dress and hair again and touched the bracelet on her wrist.
The bracelet was divided into two halves, one half was filled with a drug and the other half was filled with a deadly poison. Now the drug had been used up and only the poison was left.
She only has one chance!
Su He walked to the fifth door.
Since her father was beaten to death eight years ago, she and Zhou Yuanze have never been so close.
She had never seen Zhou Yuanze look like this since she met him eight years ago.
She had wanted to recognize his face before taking revenge, just like when she went to Tongxin Lane to see Liu Dazhong before killing him. However, Zhou Yuanze came from a prominent family and had a noble status. Whenever he went out, he was either surrounded by people or had to hide his whereabouts. She had no chance to see him at all.
But now, at this moment, she and him were only separated by this thin door.
Su He took a deep breath and raised his hand to knock on the door.
After knocking a few times, the door opened and a Hua Niang stood at the door. "Why is there another one?" She turned around and asked, "Did Master Zhou order another Hua Niang?"
A man's lazy and dazed voice came from inside the house: "Have you ordered? I don't remember. Since you're here, you must have ordered!"
The voice traveled through time and suddenly hit Su He's chest.
That’s right, this is Zhou Yuanze’s voice.
——The voice that roared at father and mother in the Du family courtyard.
Su He was distracted for a moment.
Hua Niang lowered her voice and asked, "Are you new here?"
Su He was startled and quickly lowered his head and replied "yes".
"The newcomer has also hooked up with Mr. Zhou?"
"It was Mother Liu who asked me to come here."
Hua Niang snorted coldly and then opened the door wider.
Su He brushed past her and walked in with his head lowered.
She walked slowly and steadily, and the carpet under her feet extended little by little in her sight until it extended to the window inside the house.
On the lounge chair in front of the window, an obese man in his forties was eating grapes comfortably, with two disheveled girls beside him fanning him and massaging his legs.
This was no longer the face she remembered, but it had the basic outline of that face.
For example, puffy eyes, a flat nose, and thin and even sunken lips.
This is undoubtedly Zhou Yuanze himself!
It's just that the whole person has become fat and swollen, and has been distorted by the long years.
Eight years have taken away many things and changed many things, but some things remain unchanged.
Su He stepped forward and bowed: "I pay my respects to Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Yuanze smiled evilly while chewing grapes: "Wait a moment, after I rest for a while, I will go to paradise with my lady."
When she heard the word "wife" coming out of Zhou Yuanze's mouth, she felt nauseous.
She was only used to Xie Wuhen calling her "wife".
His evil smile also made her feel sick.
Just as he once insulted his mother by saying, "After all, she is a woman who has given birth, and this young master is still not satisfied", the tone and expression were exactly the same as before.
Su He suppressed her surging emotions and replied softly, "Although it's raining, the heat is still scorching. Madam Liu is worried that Master Zhou might have caught a heat stroke, so she sent me over to make Master Zhou some drinks to cool him down."
Zhou Yuanze asked casually, "Can you make drinks?"
Su He lowered his head: "I have a basic understanding."
Zhou Yuanze waved away Hua Niang beside him, stood up from the recliner, and walked to Su He.
He commanded, "Lift your head."
Su He looked up as ordered and met his eyes.
In the orange firelight, she saw that even though this man was over forty years old, his skin was still smooth and fair, and his deep eyes were filled with the arrogance of a pampered life.
This arrogance is completely different from Xie Wuhen's arrogance.
This arrogance is filled with murderous and robbing rage, and a coldness that treats human life as worthless.
He looked at her, startled: "Your face reminds me of someone."
Su He asked respectfully, "Who is it?"
"A footman who also makes drinks."
"Could it be that I look like a servant?"
Zhou Yuanze smiled meaningfully.
Several flower girls also smiled.
Zhou Yuanze said, "No, it's because that servant has a wife as beautiful as you." He gently pinched Su He's chin and sighed, "But, what a pity."
Su He's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was in turmoil.
The "male servant who can make drinks" he mentioned might be referring to his father, and the "beautiful wife" must be the mother he raped.
Her appearance reminded him of them.
It's been eight years, and he still remembers them.
Good, he still remembers them!
Su He suppressed her trembling voice and asked, "Why does Master Zhou feel sorry for it?"
Zhou Yuanze released her jaw and sat back on the recliner, stuffing grapes into his mouth as he replied, "I took possession of his wife, but he overestimated his own abilities and claimed he would go to the government office to sue me. As a result, his wife actually went and beat the drum to file a complaint."
"What happens next?" asked one of the flower girls.
Zhou Yuanze spat out the grape skins in his mouth with a "puff" sound. "After that, before she could even open her mouth to speak, the judge slashed her throat with a sword."
Several flower girls were frightened and stunned at the same time.
Zhou Yuanze chuckled twice: "When a slave sues his master, the result is death."
Then he sighed again: "That beauty died after being touched by me only once. Don't you think it's a pity?"
No one in the room dared to make a sound.
Su He was filled with hatred.
She secretly clenched her fists, her bones rattling and beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.
This man, worse than an animal, spoke of the past in such a nonchalant manner, even omitting the incident of beating his father to death.
She wished she could cut him into pieces right away.
But now she had to endure it, endure it painfully as if she was being eaten alive.
She asked casually, "What happened to the servant?"
