Su Qingyu looked down at Jiang Chenyue condescendingly. Her pitiful appearance was really endearing.
Not to mention the men, even she herself wanted to comfort her when she saw her.
Shen Zhixiu glanced at Jiang Chenyue and said coldly, "You don't want anything? Just a place to stay? That's easy. The Shen family has many houses and farms outside. I'll send someone to take you there in a moment."
Seeing Jiang Chenyue slightly stunned, Shen Zhixiu sneered and pulled Su Qingyu to sit down.
The idea of just seeking shelter was just a pretense of wanting to stay. Although his backyard was quiet, he had heard a lot of these things from his colleagues.
Human nature is greedy. Maybe she really doesn't ask for anything at this time, but gradually she starts to ask for more.
Just like those corrupt officials, before entering the court, they all thought that as long as they could serve, they would be honest and upright. They didn't seek wealth or sex, but only wanted to be a virtuous and upright official. But in the end, they were still dominated by endless desires.
So after Shen Zhixiu sat down, he said in a cold voice: "I will give you an identity and a sum of money, enough for you to settle down somewhere outside the capital."
As soon as he returned home, he wanted to drive the people away.
In Shen Zhixiu's opinion, such a person entering the house would only bring disaster to his family's peace.
Shen Zhixiu thought that the conditions he offered were generous enough, but he didn't expect Jiang Chenyue to kowtow heavily to Shen Zhixiu and speak with a choked voice.
"Since I was given to Lord Shen by the virtuous concubine, I belong to Lord Shen."
"If Master Shen really despises me and thinks I am unworthy of serving you, then I will just run into my head and die at the gate of the Shen family."
Shen Zhixiu laughed in anger, and the old sandalwood beads in his hand made a sound.
He even threatened him.
"Someone, open the Shen family's gate. Don't stop anyone who wants to break in."
"Let alone one, even if a hundred of them were to die, I could handle it."
Su Qingyu also felt angry. They were trying to talk it over, but it actually led to an injustice.
Feicui, who was standing behind Su Qingyu, suddenly leaned over and whispered something in her ear. Su Qingyu raised her eyebrows, a little surprised.
Just as he was considering what to do, he saw Jiang Chenyue kneeling and taking two steps forward to Shen Zhixiu's feet.
"Master Shen, please give me a chance to live."
"I don't fight for anything. As long as I stay by your side, I'm willing to do anything."
Su Qingyu saw impatience and disgust in Shen Zhixiu's eyes, and raised her foot to kick Jiang Chenyue.
"Come here, send Miss Jiang down to rest. We can discuss this matter later."
Although Shen Zhixiu was puzzled as to why Su Qingyu suddenly wanted to keep her, he still withdrew his foot and glanced with disdain at the edge of his brocade robe that Jiang Chenyue had touched.
After Su Qingyu spoke, a maid came up and asked Jiang Chenyue to leave. Although she said it was an invitation, it was actually no different from forcing her.
After everyone left, Shen Zhixiu reached out and held Su Qingyu's hand. "Qingqing, are you thinking about Concubine Xian? Actually, you don't have to think too much. She's just a dancer in the palace. If she dies, she dies."
He thought Su Qingyu took into consideration that this person was a gift from Concubine Xian and was afraid that it would be embarrassing if the matter got out of hand.
Before Su Qingyu could reply, Wen Zhu came in and reported, "Third Master, Minister Yang is still waiting to discuss matters with you."
Hearing that he still had things to do, Su Qingyu said, "Third Master, go quickly. It's just some trivial matters in the inner house. You don't have to worry so much. If you can't even take care of one person, I don't need to be the mistress of the house anymore."
Seeing that Su Qingyu looked normal, Shen Zhixiu left with peace of mind.
After he left, Su Qingyu also got up and returned to the main courtyard.
After entering the room, only Feicui was left to serve, and everyone else was told to leave.
When only the master and servant were left in the room, Su Qingyu looked at Feicui and said, "Sit down and tell me what's going on. You said there's something wrong with Jiang Chenyue? Do you know her?"
If it weren't for Feicui, she wouldn't have stopped Shen Zhixiu from dealing with Jiang Chenyue.
But Feicui wouldn't just talk nonsense. She had to listen to what Feicui had to say before deciding how to deal with this person.
Feicui sat down opposite Su Qingyu and whispered, "Madam, you should know that I was bought back by the third cousin."
Su Qingyu nodded. "I know about this. It's said that there are people who buy little girls specifically, teach them what they are good at, and then sell them after they are good at it."
Jade nodded and said, "Yes, among the girls who were with me, some were learning dancing, some were learning kung fu, and some were learning how to serve men."
"Young Master Sanbiao bought me back because I knew Kung Fu and could protect his wife."
After hearing her say this, Su Qingyu had a guess in her mind, "You mean, Jiang Chenyue also learned to dance with you?"
"So she was sold to the palace?"
Jade shook her head and said, "She is a Kung Fu student just like me, and she is even better than me."
Su Qingyu was shocked. "You mean, she has martial arts skills? Are you sure?"
Feicui shook her head and said, "I'm not mistaken. She has good talent. All the sisters who practiced together at that time knew her."
"I also carefully observed the way she walked. Although she tried her best to hide it, if you look closely, you can tell that she has practiced martial arts."
Su Qingyu asked again: "She doesn't know you?"
Feicui shook her head and said, "You probably don't know me. Madam, you may not know that I had a big scar on my face when I was a child. Later, after my third cousin bought me, he made some medicine for me and it was removed."
Su Qingyu pondered for a long while, "So the virtuous concubine brought a woman who knows kung fu to the Shen family. What does she want to do?"
Jade asked, "Do you want me to keep an eye on her?"
Su Qingyu shook her head. "Not yet. With the defenses of the West Courtyard, she won't be able to find out anything."
"I guess what Concubine Xian meant is that she should first gain the favor of the Third Master, and then do things for Concubine Xian at the critical moment."
If you want to deal with or win over a man, seduction is indeed the best and fastest way.
Feicui asked again, "Then what does Madam intend to do with her? In my opinion, this person cannot be left in the West Courtyard, otherwise, even if there is nothing wrong, rumors will spread."
"The Third Master won't touch her, but who knows what people outside will say."
Su Qingyu's fair fingers tapped the nanmu table top again and again.
"First find a place to put her, then make plans."
"This person must be eliminated, but how to eliminate him will require some thought."
While the master and servant were talking, there was a knock on the door, followed by Pearl's voice.
"Madam, Jiang Qi requests to see you."
Su Qingyu said in a deep voice: "Tell him to go to the side hall, I'll be there soon."
In the side hall, Jiang Qi bowed and said, "Madam, the palace affairs have been thoroughly investigated."
"So fast? Are things in the palace so easy to investigate now?" She thought it would take a few days to investigate, so how long did it take?
