Wow, you really did fall into a cesspool!
Seeing Shen Cang's imposing manner, as if he were about to bite someone, the two servants hesitated to make a move.
It wasn't until they caught a glimpse of Shen Qiyin standing at the door that they felt emboldened. The two exchanged a glance and then pounced on him in one go. One of them grabbed Shen Cang's arms from behind, while the other lifted his legs. Together, they carried him to the bed.
Shen Cang struggled fiercely, using both hands and feet, shouting as he struggled, just like a pig caught and awaiting slaughter during the New Year.
The two servants were originally there to help him dress, but they must have seen something. One of them rushed out in a panic and said to Shen Qiyin, "Second Miss, Master is injured."
"Injuried?"
"Yes, his body is covered in wounds, bruises and welts, some of them look like whip marks, and they're still bleeding."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiyin's eyes darkened.
But it wasn't out of worry.
She said, "First, dress him properly so he can receive the imperial decree."
But the moment the servant touched Chen Cang, it was as if he wanted to die.
It took quite a bit of effort to get him dressed so he was presentable enough to go out in public.
Shen Cang's emotions had stabilized at this moment. It wasn't that he had regained his rationality, but rather that he had been bullied so badly that he gave up futile resistance and was forced to accept reality.
The father and daughter walked one after the other in silence.
Watching Shen Cang's awkward walking posture from behind, Shen Qiyin's heart was filled with doubts.
Shen Cang himself was completely baffled.
how so?
Why did it turn out like this?!
I was sleeping soundly in my room when I opened my eyes to find myself covered in sweat!
He was completely helpless, crying out to heaven and earth until his throat was hoarse, but no one came to his rescue.
He had lived most of his life, and he had never seen such a scene before, let alone imagined it.
Those beasts humiliated him in every way imaginable, slapping him with whips and wax, leaving him with no spare spot; his buttocks still hurt to this day.
In the end, he didn't know whether he fainted from the pain or from exhaustion.
In short, when he opened his eyes again, he was all alone.
He couldn't understand what was going on at all, preferring to believe it was a nightmare, but the crisscrossing wounds on his body reminded him that it was all real.
He wished he could just hang himself!
Shen Cang's mind was in a mess, and he was lost in thought the whole way. He didn't even notice when they arrived at their destination and just stood there stiffly.
It wasn't until Old Madam Shen knelt beside him and tugged at the hem of his robe that he snapped out of his daze. Looking at the bright yellow imperial edict in E Mingfu's hand, his legs went weak and he knelt down.
"By imperial decree: We have heard that the daughter of Consort Hui's younger sister, Lady Li, is skilled, generous, gentle, kind, and outstanding in character and appearance. The Empress Dowager and I are very pleased to hear this."
"He was specially betrothed to Mr. Shen, a match made in heaven. To make this beautiful union possible, an auspicious day was chosen for their wedding."
"So be it—"
