Chapter 154: Young Love Is Broken
The maidservant next to her was particularly perceptive and immediately said, "Well, I'll make the arrangements right away."
She winked at the two servants behind her.
"Didn't you hear? Didn't you see? The master has gone..."
The maidservant started crying, and the two servants behind her immediately went to the side room and asked people to move the coffin.
The maid was crying sadly, and Mrs. Shao had a sneer on her face.
This quick, accurate, ruthless and premeditated action stunned Yin Huan who was standing next to him.
No? This... is too fast. This process...
Due to the visual shock, she looked sideways for Bai Yunshu's shadow.
This morning, after getting up, Master ignored her, probably still angry about last night.
"Disciple, go ahead. I have something to do. Come back later."
Bai Yunshu was very cold, and Yin Huan choked.
Bai Yunshu hadn't called her like that for a long time. She either called her "little disciple" or "little Huan'er". Today... for the first time ever, she called her "disciple"!
She thought about it and asked uncertainly.
"Master, what's the matter?"
Bai Yunshu glanced at her sideways.
"Do I need to report to you for anything I do as a teacher?"
Yin Huan was silent.
It’s really not necessary, but she asked, what’s wrong with showing some concern?
She spoke in anger.
"Is it not okay for a disciple to care about his master?"
Bai Yunshu raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
"Really? Why don't you show your concern for me through actions? Come and hug me. I've heard too much about words."
Yin Huan thought about the meaning of her words, and couldn't stand Bai Yunshu's cold expression, so he ran away.
"Master, please go and do your work. I will go ahead."
She turned around after she finished speaking, ignoring the burning gaze behind her.
Bai Yunshu looked at her back and beat his chest in anger.
"Xiao Ningzhu, you little piece of wood!"
She spoke through gritted teeth, but the person in front had already disappeared.
Yin Huan hummed twice as he walked away, expressing that he felt relieved to see Bai Yunshu unhappy.
And now, she was trying her best to find the late figure, feeling uneasy.
It's over. Bai Yunshu just told Shao Shuxuan yesterday that if Shao Shuxuan gets involved in blood again, one of his souls will be reduced to ashes.
Shao Shuxuan, who had killed someone, stood there, his red eyes conspicuous.
She said nothing, just staring at the body that was still alive.
Mr. Shao's eyes were still moving, as if to say that he could still be saved, but his chest was pierced in an instant. He could not utter a word and could only watch himself being carried into the coffin.
Mr. Shao opened his mouth, blood flowed all over the floor, and the temperature of his whole body was slowly draining away.
He stared at Mrs. Shao, but Mrs. Shao never looked at him.
He suddenly understood.
It was Mrs. Shao's idea to write this petition to the gods. When her child was killed by Shao Shuxuan, she only appeared sad and shed a few tears.
The person who had been sleeping beside him for more than ten years suddenly made him unable to see clearly... It seemed that he had never seen clearly before.
He asked her when they were young.
"Do you love me? Why aren't you angry when I take so many concubines? Everyone says you are generous. I am so lucky."
Mrs. Shao smiled without saying anything, just looking into his eyes, her whole body filled with a sense of relief and sadness.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but no words came out.
Love? Maybe I did.
Why am I so magnanimous? It's simply because my heart is dead. It's simply because when I'm in a bad mood, I'm accused of not having the magnanimity of a mistress. It's simply because when I complain to my son, he says, "My father is right, you are such a stingy woman, no wonder my father doesn't like you."
Mrs. Shao didn't know how to answer, so she just said, "Of course, if I don't love you, who should I love? You should take care of yourself."
Mr. Shao got the answer he wanted and felt that his charm was still as strong as before, so he left happily.
The two met when they were young, worked together to support this huge family business, became the head of the merchant class, and had a son and a daughter.
But no matter how long the love was, it couldn't withstand the concubines who were brought in one after another, and it couldn't withstand his words: "It's the same in every family. Please be more generous. The food, clothing and expenses of the mansion are all dependent on me. What's wrong with me having fun?"
Mrs. Shao had made a fuss, but Mr. Shao had simply turned a blind eye, thinking it wasn't excessive. So be it. After all, I'm just a slave, and as long as I have money, I'll have no worries.
Because of her indulgence, Mrs. Shao had criticized all her concubines, but later she sadly discovered that they seemed to have done nothing wrong.
One of them saw her pity and persistence.
"You don't have the ability to keep people here, so you vent your anger on us. But how do you know we don't feel bitter? As women, I hope you, my mistress, will show some mercy."
Mrs. Shao sat on the chair and suddenly thought, why should I keep such a person?
That time, after Mr. Shao left for his other courtyard, light snow suddenly began to fall from the sky.
Mrs. Shao said this against her will. The maid next to her saw her sadness, took an umbrella and held it up to shield her from the falling snowflakes, then raised her hand and brushed the snowflakes off her hair.
The falling snow was brushed away, and Mrs. Shao just stared at her.
Mrs. Shao's eyes suddenly turned red as she looked at the maid.
Realizing that her behavior was inappropriate, the maid met her eyes and lowered her head in fear.
"Madam, I am offended."
Mrs. Shao looked at her and smiled indifferently.
"Never mind, it's okay. You're my maidservant and have been with me for many years. I tried to marry you but you refused. I really don't know what to do..."
When I was still a young lady, she served me personally. When I married Mr. Shao, she became his dowry. When I became the mistress of the house, she was still by my side and became his confidant.
The maid thought she wanted to find a husband for her again, so she hurriedly explained in a panic.
"I only want to serve you my whole life. Please don't let me get married. Besides, I'm already past the age to get married..."
Mrs. Shao shook her head slightly.
"You misunderstood me. Let's go back."
After saying this, Mrs. Shao turned and left, and the maid just followed her tacitly.
She was glad in her heart that it wasn't the case.
…
At this moment, Madam Shao covered her mouth and laughed heartily, while looking at the people being sent into the coffin and said: "Those concubines, if any of them want to stay in the mansion, then keep them. It will be a mouth to feed. If not, then give them money and send them away. Let them go wherever they want, hahahahahaha..."
Mrs. Shao laughed more and more crazily, even crying.
She was genuinely happy, not just pretending.
"Ma'am, I'm so sorry."
The maid touched her hand to comfort her, and Mrs. Shao held her hand in return, nodding with a smile in her eyes.
Yin Huan searched for a long time before he saw Bai Yunshu walking slowly towards him from a distance.
She ran towards Bai Yunshu quickly, her eyes filled with anxiety.
"Master, something happened. Master Shao was killed by Shao Shuxuan, and then... Madam Shao quickly put him into a coffin."
