Chapter 160 Unfair
After Ling Zhuoan left, Ling Qingyan became more and more angry. She felt that Ling Zhuoan was quite shameless. He really didn't do anything to her.
But he took a cold shower in front of her, and when she touched the water, it was really cold.
She could see that he was having a hard time enduring it.
But if he wanted to take a cold shower, he should just take a cold shower. Why should he take it in her yard?
Do you want to gain her sympathy?
Ling Qingyan didn't buy it at all.
The next day, Cui Huailang hurried to find Ling Qingyan, and came with Shang Liu.
Cui Huailang looked embarrassed and rubbed his hands, feeling a little embarrassed: "Um, Sister Qingxi, I want to trouble you for something."
Shang Liu was also standing nearby, feeling anxious and cautious.
The two of them always laughed and played, and had never shown this kind of expression.
Ling Qingyan's heart tightened, and she decided that something was wrong. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Shang Liu continued, "Boss Gu, this is what happened. You also know about my sister Shang Rulan and my eldest brother. My family elders wanted to marry him off to Xu Shanghu from the north city, regardless of my third sister's wishes. I only found out about this yesterday."
"She is my sister after all. I couldn't bear to see her suffer, so I secretly took her out. But she's not in good condition right now. Can she stay here with you for two days? I can pay you."
Shang Liu originally wanted to put her here with Cui Huailang, but there were too many nobles here with Cui Huailang, and it was not convenient for a man after all. The other young ladies from noble families that Shang Liu knew were being kept by their families, and he was afraid that they would hand his sister over.
He felt depressed. He was so stupid that he only knew how to have fun. He didn't realize that his third sister had encountered such a thing. He never thought that his parents, who were usually very kind to them, could do such a thing.
"My parents blamed my third sister for my eldest brother's death. They locked her up and said she killed my eldest brother, but that was clearly not the case."
"I tried to reason with them, but they didn't listen. I had no choice." Shang Liu twirled his fingers.
Who was Xu the Merchant? He was indeed a wealthy merchant for three generations, and his family was well-off, but Xu the Merchant had already lost three wives and seven or eight concubines. Moreover, he was in his forties and was so fat that he could fit two of them.
How could he be worthy of his third sister?
He thought his parents were crazy, but they said, "Your third sister has lost her innocence and has been involved in such a scandal. How can you expect her to marry into a good family?"
But it wasn't her fault in the first place.
But everyone in the family told him that it was his third sister who did something wrong. He was almost convinced by them, so he found his good brother Cui Huailang.
After chatting with Brother Cui for a few sentences, he was sure that his idea was not wrong, and it was just that they were too bullying.
"Boss Gu, I know this is not a simple matter and will cause you a lot of trouble. I can pay you. I have saved some money over the years and I can pay you."
"No need." Ling Qingyan waved her hand decisively, "Cui Huailang is my friend, and you are also my new friends. Between friends, helping each other is nothing."
"Besides, Miss Shang San has shown me kindness, and I am very grateful to her. I cannot stand by and watch her suffer such a fate." Ling Qingyan said firmly, "Where is she? We can bring her to Qingyuan right now."
Shang Liu felt touched.
"Boss Gu, you are so kind and generous. I have no way to repay you. I can only..."
"There's no need to pledge your love to me." Cui Huailang smiled and patted Shang Liu's shoulder heavily, but his smile was fake.
"I'll be your slave." Shang Liu patted himself. "I know there's a huge gap between Boss Gu and me in terms of status, but since Boss Gu has accepted me as his friend and helped me so much, from now on, as long as Boss Gu gives me an order, I, Shang Xuan, will do it without hesitation."
Shang Rulan entered Qingyuan wearing a veil hat. The moment Ling Qingyan saw her, her heart tightened a little.
The girl's body was covered with wounds, including old scars from being beaten by Shang Yue and new whip marks.
"Someone hit her?!" Ling Qingyan widened her eyes and looked at Shang Liu in disbelief.
"My eldest brother is the most valued son in the family. After something like this happened, my parents have nowhere to vent their anger." Shang Liu clenched his fists and took a deep breath. "They attacked my third sister."
Ling Qingyan sneered, as if she thought this family was ridiculous: "Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs."
The eldest son’s life is life, but the daughter’s life is not life?
It's so unfair.
Her chest was heaving violently, her fingers were trembling slightly, her eyes were clear, and she said, "Don't worry, I won't let Miss Shang San get hurt again."
The girl's voice was firm and powerful, and Shang Liu felt relieved.
"Then I'll leave first. I'm afraid if I stay too long, my third sister's location will be exposed." Shang Liu said.
