Chapter 334: The Humble Mute Maid (2)
"No, no, I'll keep watch for you." Chen Sheng had no interest in the mute girl in the room. Everything he did was just to please Mr. Yan.
"Then I'll go in." Yan Que grasped the door lock and twisted it gently, and it opened. Chen Sheng, who was keeping watch on the side, was a little surprised that Mr. Yan had such a skill.
The firewood room was opened, and a small oil lamp was lit inside. The wick had long burned to the bottom of the oil lamp and was about to go out.
He squinted his eyes and looked around the room, and saw a huddled black shadow in the corner.
"Raise your head." He looked at the black shadow, but the black shadow did not move, as if he had ignored him.
He got angry, moved closer to her, and kicked her, "I only heard that you are a mute girl, but I have never heard that you are also deaf. Are you both mute and deaf?"
The black shadow still did not respond.
"I want to see who you are." He was really angry this time, and he didn't care whether she was dirty or not. He grabbed her hair and pulled her up.
The candle flickered a few times, and then went out with a crackling sound. But Yan Que saw the mute girl's face clearly.
"How could it be you?" He took a big step back in shock, still muttering, "Why are you here?"
"What's wrong?" Chen Sheng, who was keeping watch outside, saw the candle in the house suddenly go out, thinking something had happened, and kicked the door open and rushed in.
"Light it." Yan Que's voice returned to normal.
Chen Sheng struck a match, took out a candle and lit it, and asked again with concern: "Mr. Yan, what happened?"
"I want to take her away." Yan Que picked her up directly.
Chen Sheng looked embarrassed, "After all, this is someone from the original mansion. If we take her away, it's inevitable..."
"Everything Chen Sheng wants depends on her alone." Yan Que looked at him with a smile, and he really turned from embarrassed to happy.
"Don't worry, Mr. Yan. I'll leave this to Mr. Chen."
Although he didn't know what the relationship was between Mr. Yan and the mute girl of the Yuan Mansion, he didn't mind anything as long as he could become an official and bring honor to the family.
"I'll take her away first." Yan Que held her, as if holding light catkins, and found that her breath was unstable. He was worried that she was infected by the secret of the backyard, and he was very anxious.
"Okay." Mr. Chen inspected the firewood room and had an idea in his mind.
Yan Que moved quickly, and the person in his arms suddenly grabbed his arm. He stopped and looked at her.
She still closed her eyes, her face was so haggard, and her lips were so pale. But she grabbed his hand like a drowning person grabbing the last straw. He absolutely couldn't sit idly by. He took off his coat and covered her. He didn't even care if the dragon-patterned jade pendant was exposed. Mr.
Chen, who originally thought that Yan Que was a little "expensive", was stunned when he saw the dragon-patterned jade pendant. He didn't expect that he was so lucky to get this man's promise.
He looked at the woodshed again and changed his original plan. He had to do this thing perfectly.
In the front hall, Master Yuan greeted all the guests and found that he had missed two young people who were said to be from Zhuzhou. In order not to offend anyone, he brought the wine over, but was told by the servants in his house that the two had already left. He was busy greeting the guests and didn't take the two people to heart.
He looked back at his son, who had fallen drunk on the table. He waved his hand and asked the servants to help him to the bridal chamber.
The drunk Yuan Shiqi knew that these people were going to send him to the bridal chamber, and he was still struggling, but no matter how he struggled, it was in vain. The
servants who had practiced martial arts tied his hands one by one and lifted him up directly.
The bride had been waiting for him in the bridal chamber. Miss Fang knew that his heart was not with her, but she looked down on everyone and fell in love with this young man at first sight. She talked about her marriage with her father and mother several times, both openly and secretly, and finally won the position of the young lady of the Yuan family. The
Fang family lacked everything except money. The Yuan family lacked everything, but they just needed money, so the two parties hit it off. She finally became his wife.
She was thinking about her worries when there was a sudden commotion at the door.
"There's a fire... There's a fire..." The old woman shouted for people to put out the fire.
The maids serving in the room had been sent out by her long ago. How could she take off her red veil and run away without seeing the groom? She tugged at the handkerchief in her hand again and again, struggling for a long time, but finally did not move a step.
It was impossible for the Yuan Mansion, which was so big, to ignore her as a bride. After all, she was a rich lady, and she could not do such a ridiculous thing.
Sure enough, after a while, the matchmaker of the Yuan Mansion came in trotting and told her the cause of the incident.
It turned out that there was a fire in the woodshed. The specific cause of the fire was not known for the time being. Fortunately, there was only a maid who made a mistake in the woodshed, and no one else's life was in danger.
"What happened?" Yuan Shiqi felt as if there were a hundred ducks quacking next to his ears, and he had a headache.
"There was a fire in the woodshed." The servant was honest, but he still carried him to the bridal chamber.
"Fire?" His mind suddenly went blank, as if all his memories had disappeared.
"How could there be a fire?" He asked again stupidly.
The servant had no way of knowing this, so he didn't answer him. He suddenly collapsed to the ground and cried bitterly, "Why won't you spare her life?"
He had obviously retreated again and again, why couldn't he give her a way to live. He was miserable in his heart, sobered up, and struggled to go to the woodshed.
There was a fire over there, and it seemed that everything was burned. It was dangerous to go there now. The servant would naturally not let him go, and knocked him out directly.
The bride heard the door open and sat down quickly.
"The young master is drunk." The two servants lowered their heads and put their young master on the bed, then left immediately.
The bride heard the door closing and the footsteps of the leaving, and sat for a while before boldly lifting a corner of the red veil and looking at her newlywed husband.
He was drunk and was lying obediently beside her. All this made her feel real and unreal.
Thinking that she couldn't have a normal wedding night tonight, she gently lifted the red veil and took care of her husband's body.
She first took off his shoes, then his outer clothes, and removed his hair crown, and then she personally twisted the wedding veil to wipe his face.
The wedding candles were burning loudly, but her hand holding the veil began to tremble, and her body was a little unstable.
On the bed, her drunk husband had tears on his cheeks.
