"Madam, the master and the eldest master have already boarded the carriage and are heading towards the palace. They are probably going to enter the palace." Dong Shuang came into the room with ginger soup and reported.
After Yang Zhao finished drinking the ginger soup, he curled his lips and smiled faintly, "It's okay, they will be back soon."
really.
In less than half an hour.
Then the Shen family's coachman came back in a panic driving the carriage, shouting at the gate to come and help people.
After a while.
Two figures were half-lifted out of the carriage. Both of them had bloody heads and were in tattered clothes, looking extremely miserable, as if they had been robbed.
"What's going on?"
"It seems they were robbed by gangsters in a sack in a dark alley and beaten badly. If the third young master of the Yang family hadn't happened to pass by and rescued them, the Shen family father and son would have died."
"The third young master of the Yang family in Zhenbei Marquis Mansion?"
"Yes, I heard that the Third Young Master of the Yang family and his companions happened to be nearby when they heard the noise and came to rescue the people in time. Many people saw it at the time."
"Tsk! This third young master of the Yang family is quite righteous."
"That's right. I heard that a scandal happened in the Shen family yesterday. Shen Li, who had vowed to be Mrs. Shen's only lover for life, was caught secretly having an affair with a maid. The scene... I heard it was very embarrassing. I thought the third young master of the Yang family would come to make trouble again, but I didn't expect him to save her."
"This shows that although the Yang family may protect their shortcomings, they still understand the righteousness of the family as a whole..."
The crowd outside the door was talking loudly.
soon.
These things spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.
When the Shen family's father and son woke up, the whole capital was praising Yang Huaijin, and the Shen family's father and son were almost furious.
Although they didn't see the person who attacked them clearly, they all saw the person in white clothes...
"It's Yang Huaijin, it must be him!"
"That shameless kid—"
Of course, they were still in a coma when they were carried into the house.
Dong Shuang happily returned to the house to report: "Madam, the master and his men were carried back. I just went to take a look and saw that they were beaten and bleeding. It looks like they will have to lie down for at least half a month before they can get up."
Yang Zhao smiled faintly: "Let's go, it's time to go meet Wei Yaer!"
"Madam, are you going in person?" Dong Shuang was slightly surprised.
"Um."
Wei Yaer was locked up alone in a room.
When she saw Yang Zhao, she was a little excited: "Yang Zhao..."
He was about to pounce, but was restrained by the two maids: "You little bitch, you actually want to attack the lady? This is really outrageous!"
Pa pa.
The old woman slapped Wei Yaer twice, making her see stars.
Yang Zhao then spoke calmly, "Wei Ya'er, your husband and father-in-law have already said that they want to sell you out. Whether you like it or not, this is your next path."
"I am not a slave, you have no right to sell me." Wei Yaer was angry.
Dong Shuang unfolded a piece of paper and said, "This is your indenture. The government has already transferred your status to slavery. Now, let alone selling you, even beating you to death with clubs would be legal."
Wei Yaer saw the bloody handprint on the paper and her eyes narrowed: "That was not my own will, you forced me..."
"So what?"
Yang Zhaofeng interrupted her calmly: "Everyone knows that you entered the Shen family as a slave. Who can prove that you didn't sell yourself voluntarily? Are you still hoping that... Chen Li can prove it for you?"
Wei Yaer's face was stiff.
But she calmed down and said, "He will never let me become a slave."
Yang Zhao chuckled: "Are you so sure?"
"Six years ago, when the Shen family was exiled, he swore in public, pointing to the heavens and promising to be with me forever. He said he would never betray me, otherwise he would be struck by lightning and the whole family would be wiped out. I believed him, but what happened?"
"Wei Ya'er, actually, as soon as you and Chen Li came back, I saw that you were together. I knew that Chen Li had betrayed me, but in the end I chose to compromise, so I suggested to him that he take you as a concubine and give you a status, but he refused."
Wei Yaer knew about this.
She was eavesdropping outside the window at the time.
"Do you know what he said? He said he hadn't betrayed me, that he had no feelings for you at all, that you were just a maid, and that he would be with me forever."
When Wei Yaer thought about what she heard that night, her face gradually became ugly.
Shen Li did say that.
"When he spoke of it, his expression remained unchanged, and he looked sincere." Yang Zhao couldn't help but chuckle: "He's coaxing me like I'm a silly woman!"
Wei Yaer was slightly stunned.
I couldn't help but look at Yang Zhao, and only then did I see the self-mockery and disappointment in her eyes.
"Actually, the last time my brother came to my house and wanted to ask for a divorce letter from me, I thought about leaving the Shen family. As long as he wrote the divorce letter for me, it would be fine."
"But he refused."
"He betrayed me, but at the same time he refused to let me go. Do you think he really loves me? What he can't bear to part with is just the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion behind me. So no matter how my brother makes trouble, he won't really care."
"And this time when you sold your indenture, do you really think he didn't tacitly consent?"
"If he really intended to stop you, to protect you, he wouldn't have said a word then, and even now... he wouldn't have kept you locked up here."
Wei Yaer's lips trembled, and she wanted to say something in rebuttal.
But when she looked into Yang Zhao's eyes, she found herself unable to say a word, as if all her rebuttals would become self-deception, and once she said it, she would appear very stupid.
This made her face pale.
Finally, he asked, "Why are you telling me this?"
"What is your purpose?"
Yang Zhao waved his hand, dismissing the woman who was holding her down. Then he walked to a chair and sat down. He looked at her and said calmly, "I want to make a deal with you."
"trade?"
Wei Yaer was surprised.
She thought she would say something sympathetic or something sentimental to win her over or plot against her.
But she said she wanted to make a deal with her?
