Chapter 79 The Abandoned Eldest Daughter Makes a Comeback (Part 3)
Wang urged impatiently, "Stop dawdling, open the door quickly."
She had always looked down on this so-called pampered young lady. So what if her father was a high-ranking official? He still ended up with peasants like them.
However, along with looking down on them, there was also a strong sense of jealousy.
With a stepmother in charge and her own father indifferent, she was exiled to a farm, yet she was still able to eat and drink well there, without having to work in the fields or serve her family...
He was clearly just a pawn to be discarded.
Zhao Zhuangtou waved his hand, signaling the men behind him to surround him.
Since you're looking for death, then so be it.
Shen Yunzhen reached out and pulled open the door latch.
The door had just opened when the sound of galloping hooves suddenly came from afar, followed by a loud shout:
"What are you doing? Stop it!"
The commotion was so loud that Zhao Zhuangtou and the others instinctively turned their heads to look behind them.
Shen Yunzhen looked up and saw that it was the same boy from last night.
He rode a tall, fine horse, leading a troop of people at breakneck speed. Upon arrival, she dismounted before the horse even stopped.
The attendants behind him exclaimed in alarm, "Your Highness, Young Master, be careful!"
The boy ignored her and stepped in front of Shen Yunzhen, his sharp eyes fixed on Zhao Zhuangtou and the others.
What do you want to do?
He never imagined that the girl's life here would be so difficult.
Judging from their practiced yet arrogant manner, they must have made things difficult for people before, and even after she moved to such a remote place, they still wouldn't let her off the hook.
The boy was filled with lingering fear; if he had arrived any later, the consequences might have been unimaginable.
Seeing this, the attendants quickly surrounded the group.
Upon seeing this, Shen Yunzhen paused and took a slight step back.
She originally planned to kill all these people and then leave, but now that someone has helped her, she is naturally happy to relax.
After all, the household registration system in ancient times was quite troublesome, and she didn't want to go through too much trouble unless absolutely necessary.
Surrounded, Wang and her entourage were so weak in the knees that they almost collapsed, their previous arrogance completely gone.
They were all farmers; they had never experienced anything like this before.
In the end, Zhao Zhuangtou had more experience and managed to keep things under control.
"Who are you? Do you know whose estate this is?"
The young man sneered, his voice carrying an air of authority without anger: "Oh? Whose estate is it?"
Zhao Zhuangtou swallowed hard, feigning composure: "This is the estate of Lord Shen, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Your forced entry is a great disrespect to an official of the court. I can report you to the authorities and have you arrested."
"The Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, I'll remember that."
A slight smile appeared on the boy's face, but his eyes were full of coldness.
Zhao Zhuangtou couldn't help but take a half step back, and said tremblingly, "As long as you leave quickly, I don't need to report to my master."
The boy didn't look at him again, but turned around and looked at Shen Yunzhen with a gentle expression. When he saw the kitchen knife in her hand, a hint of pity appeared in his eyes, but a coldness flashed across them.
He suppressed his deep concern and asked softly, "Young lady, what do you plan to do with them?"
He wanted nothing more than to tear these people to pieces, but after a moment's thought, he decided that he should hand them over to Shen Yunzhen to deal with.
Only by personally dealing with those who had bullied and harassed her could she truly let go of the past and forget these unpleasant memories.
In that instant, the boy learned to put himself in others' shoes and to be considerate of others without any instruction.
Of course, the object of compassion is only the one in front of you.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhuangtou and the others instinctively looked over, only to be stunned into silence.
At that moment, they forgot their fear and were filled only with amazement.
In a daze, a thought flashed through the minds of all of them.
'Wow, this girl is so pretty!'
They were incredulous and utterly bewildered.
'Are they really that heartless? How can they bear to mistreat such a stunning beauty? Are they even human?'
Shen Yunzhen was already used to such gazes. She asked calmly, "Is it okay to do whatever you want with me?"
"Yes, you can do whatever you want."
A perfectly measured look of pity appeared on Shen Yunzhen's face.
“Although they often bully me, I can’t bear to take their lives, so I’ll break their arms and legs and throw them out of the city.”
These are the same people who usually bully the original owner; they are all Liu Ying's loyal lackeys.
She hadn't planned to do anything beforehand. The original owner of this body had already died when she arrived, so she didn't have to bear the karma associated with her and naturally didn't need to avenge her.
But what he shouldn't have done was to bully him.
Since that's the case, don't blame her for being ruthless.
She always seeks revenge for wrongs and vengeance, and has never been the type to repay evil with kindness.
These people don't deserve any leniency.
After all, they came here with the intention of sending me to my death.
The boy felt even more heartache upon hearing this, and his pity for him deepened.
She was too kind and soft-hearted; she spared their lives.
However, since he had already said that he would give her the power to decide, he naturally wouldn't object.
“Take them all away, break their arms and legs, and then throw them out.”
As the young man spoke, he subtly gave his subordinate a look, and the subordinate instantly understood.
Seeing such a frail young girl being bullied by unruly people, they were equally indignant.
Upon hearing this terrible news, Wang and the others immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
With their hands and feet broken, how are they supposed to survive?
At this moment, Zhao Zhuangtou also realized that this young man must have a powerful background, and Lord Shen could no longer be their backer.
"Spare us, sir! We really didn't do anything! Please have mercy on us!"
"Yes, sir, please have pity on us!"
Seeing that the boy remained unmoved, someone kowtowed to Shen Yunzhen.
"Young Miss, please have mercy and say a word for us! We really didn't mean to bully you, it was all instigated by Head Zhao! Please forgive us this time."
"You! Miss, please spare me! I... I... please spare me!"
Zhao Zhuangtou ultimately dared not reveal the mistress's name and could only desperately beg for mercy.
He had been guarding this estate and this abandoned girl for many years, and had also glimpsed some of the mistress's methods.
He has a family; he can't risk everything.
The young man glanced at Shen Yunzhen, and seeing that her expression had not softened, he felt slightly relieved and waved his hand, saying, "Quickly pull her away."
The subordinates quickly covered the man's mouth and dragged him away.
The boy glanced around, and the others tacitly stepped back a little.
With only the two of them left, the boy felt inexplicably nervous, and his heart began to beat faster involuntarily.
Sunlight fell on the boy, outlining his slender figure, highlighting his handsome features, and making his already rosy ears even redder.
"Greetings, young lady. I've come to thank you for saving my life. Please forgive my uninvited visit."
