Chapter 10
You Yang was so anxious that she almost ran. They were very familiar with the roads in the mansion and walked very fast. She had only been there for a few days and was not familiar with the terrain. In the end, not only did she fail to catch up, she also lost her way in the countless corridors that were hung with red lanterns and lit with strange red lights, making it difficult to see the road.
Since Liu Mei wanted to punish her subordinates, it must have happened in her yard.
She had only been to Liu Mei's new courtyard once and could not remember the route clearly.
But she knew that the later they were, the more dangerous they would be. Youyang found a rockery as a shelter, jumped onto the wall from behind the rockery, and jumped onto the roof by stepping on the black tiles.
It was difficult to see in the dark night, but she soon found Liu Mei's brightly lit yard.
It was some distance away, and Youyang didn't dare to delay.
She climbed over layers of high walls, and the closer she got, the louder her tragic cries became.
You Yang was in such a panic that he didn't know where to go. When he fell from the high wall, his legs went weak and he stumbled. No matter how embarrassed he was, he didn't dare to stop.
She used all her strength to kick open the guarded door and rushed into everyone's sight.
A redwood chair, with Liu Mei Gao sitting on it, fanning herself leisurely with a round fan.
Seeing You Yang break into her yard so forcefully, she narrowed her eyes and looked at her in surprise.
"This place is full of blood and it's not the place you should be."
"Shouldn't I have come?" You Yang's eyes fell on the two people lying on two benches, who were beaten to the point of being almost dead. She glared at Liu Mei who was sitting on the upper seat.
"Madam, you insist on disposing of my servants without even asking for my opinion, and you don't let me manage it. What's the logic behind this?"
"Child, I'm doing this for your own good. Your mother couldn't bear to see you get hurt, and she finally convinced your father. Now, letting this lowly servant take the blame for you is the best way I can help you."
Liu Mei seemed to be speaking with sincerity, but in fact she was not at all merciful.
You Yang glanced at the two men's bloody wounds on their waists and buttocks from being beaten with sticks, and their dying appearance. This was not what they had suffered for her, it was that they wanted to beat the two men to death.
The execution was interrupted when You Yang broke in.
Liu Mei glanced at the nanny standing beside her, who scolded the servants and urged them, "Keep fighting. There are still seventy battles left out of the hundred. Don't stop until we're done!"
You Yang roared and rushed over to stop them, "Stop!"
"They're going to die!" she cried, rushing over to stop them. "Stop hitting them!"
Qingyun's painful whimpers and cries became quieter and quieter. Song Yunlan said nothing, biting his lips and enduring it, blood seeping into his white teeth.
Liu Mei covered her mouth and nose with her round fan, feeling reluctant. "Tsk tsk tsk, it's not good for the young lady to watch such a bloody scene. Someone, take the young lady away."
Several strong maids were doing what they were told. Four of them grabbed You Yang tightly, preventing her from moving, and dragged her out mercilessly by her arms.
The brand new dress that I had just put on became tattered and covered in dust after being dragged around.
"Stop—" Her loud roar was accompanied by sobs as she fought to hold back tears. Her throat was sore, but she couldn't stop. "I really can't fight anymore..."
No one in the yard cared about her, and no one stopped what they were doing. Youyang looked back at Qingyun's pale face and struggled even harder.
“Ahhhh—”
When several people were dragging her over the high threshold of the courtyard gate, You Yang took the opportunity to fall down, grabbed a maid's wrist and pressed it against the threshold, and used all her strength to bend her backwards by force.
After being broken, the sharp white bones poked out from under the maid's rough skin, causing her to feel excruciating pain. Blood flowed continuously onto the ground, forming a small pool of blood.
The remaining three were so weak in the knees after seeing such a horrific scene that they no longer had the strength to hold on to Youyang.
The shackles on his hands were removed and he fell to the ground. His glowing white hands were pressed straight into the pool of blood.
She hasn't been this embarrassed in a long time...
You Yang, who had already lost her mind, wanted to save those two people with all her heart and eyes. She rushed back without caring about anything and pushed the servant away with all her strength.
But one person had no time to deal with four sticks, so she had to use her body to protect two people.
She placed her hands on Qingyun's body and then on Song Yunlan's waist to stop them from continuing torturing him.
The servant who was executing Song Yunlan accidentally hit Youyang's bloody hand with a stick.
"Ugh..." You Yang groaned in pain.
Regardless of the injuries on his body, Song Yunlan wanted to get up to see Youyang's injuries, but she pressed them back.
"Lie down quietly."
That blow left a horrific purple-black scar on her hand.
She had lost all feeling in her hand, but she didn't move it away.
Her eyes were wide open as she glared fiercely at Liu Mei above her and the nanny beside her, she was so angry that she almost bit her white teeth to pieces.
"I don't know what I did wrong. My wife allowed me to visit my family today, and she didn't tell me when I had to return before I left."
"I left my mother when I was young, and now we finally meet, it's reasonable for me to stay a little longer. What's wrong with me?"
"I'd like to ask my father, if he hates me so much, why did he summon me back to the capital? Wouldn't it be better to let me die of old age on the farm?"
Liu Mei's attention was drawn by the screams of the servant girl. Seeing the blood all over the floor, she took a step back in fear and tripped over the chair.
Hiding her fear, she spoke kindly, "Yang'er, you misunderstood your father. We are just too worried about you, worried that these two people will lead you astray."
"We were doing this for your good intentions, so why did you hurt my maid?"
Hearing this, You Yang felt uneasy and fell to the ground helplessly. "You let me take all the blame. Where is your conscience, Madam?"
"How could I, a weak woman, have the strength to break bones when I was captured by four men? The maid was clearly injured by mistake when I fell on the threshold. Do you think I am to blame for this?"
"I have been without my parents' care since I was little, and my behavior is crude. Naturally, I am not as gentle and sensible as my sister. If you don't like me, just tell me directly. I will take my two servants and return to the countryside and never return to the capital. There is no need to pick on me like this."
You Yang felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and the tears in her eyes couldn't stop flowing out.
When she was wiping her tears, a drop of blood from her palm accidentally fell on the red corner of her eye, like a cinnabar mole. Combined with the red corner of her eye from crying, she looked even more pitiful.
"Enough!" You Guolin yelled angrily outside the yard. His appearance made everyone in the yard dare not act rashly again. Liu Mei's face turned pale in an instant.
The former strode into the yard, in a bad mood, with a stern face, and walked up the stairs.
Liu Mei panicked for a moment, then quickly stood up from her chair and bowed, making way for him.
You Guolin did not sit down, but stood directly in front of Liu Mei. He did not let her stand up and pointed at her nose and started scolding her.
"She's just a child, she just came back from the countryside, and she's already suffered so much. Why do you have to target her in every way?"
"I..."
Liu Mei wanted to speak to defend herself but was ruthlessly interrupted by You Guolin.
"No need to explain. I originally gave Yang'er to you because I thought you were well-educated. Now you've disappointed me so much."
"Master, this is all my fault. I misunderstood Yang'er." Liu Mei realized that something was wrong and took the initiative to admit her mistake. "From now on, I will definitely treat her well, like my own child."
"Humph." You Guolin snorted coldly, "You'd better do so."
Youyang's scene was not over yet. She knelt on the ground sobbing and wiping her tears. Her pretty little face was rubbed dirty.
Fortunately, she had good hearing. When she was being dragged out of the gate, she heard footsteps coming towards her. She made a bet on who would come here. Fortunately, her bet was right, otherwise she would have shed tears in vain.
You Guolin stared at her, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long moment, he sighed silently and said to the housekeeper, "Send the young lady and these two servants back."
Back in the yard, Song Yunlan and Qingyun were carried into their respective bedrooms. Youyang took off the new earrings from her earlobes and stuffed them into the housekeeper's hands, asking him to help call a doctor.
Youyang stayed alone in Qingyun's room, looking at her with cold sweat on her forehead, feeling extremely guilty.
He was beaten more than forty times and suffered serious injuries.
The housekeeper came back with the doctor, who took the pulse of both men and examined their wounds.
Fortunately, they are just external injuries and will not affect walking in the future.
After seeing the doctor off, You Yang came to the outside of Song Yunlan's bedroom. It was inconvenient for her to go in, so she just said a few words outside to ask him to rest more and then left.
After such a terrifying experience, You Yang couldn't recover.
She dragged her tired body to her room.
I was worried all the way.
Didn't Song Yunlan have any guards or anything? Why didn't he just run away? He was from the military, after all.
Now that she had been implicated and beaten, what would she do if he came to seek revenge on her in the future? She didn't want to die.
When You Yang entered the dormitory and was about to close the door, he finally felt that his other hand seemed unable to move.
She held up her right hand, which was swollen twice as big as her left.
You Yang: “…”
I just laughed at my own stupidity.
"It seems like I was so busy looking at them that I forgot to look at myself."
"Whatever you want to see, young lady, I happen to know a little bit about treating external injuries."
You Yang: “!!!”
The familiar voice immediately penetrated her cochlea.
Her whole body stiffened, and she sat facing the wooden door motionless as if petrified.
She was very familiar with this voice. It was the man behind the screen!
"What's wrong with you, young lady? Don't you want to turn around and see my true face?"
He said frivolously and nonchalantly, "I am much better looking than that goal."
There was a fight between two villains in Youyang's heart, hesitating whether to open the door and run away now or turn around and mediate.
But the man seemed to be able to hear her thoughts, "Everyone outside is my people, you can try."
There is no way out. There is no escape.
You Yang resigned herself to her fate and turned around, only to see a handsome man with a demonic appearance sitting alone in front of a small table, sipping tea from the cup placed in her room. On either side stood a guard with a fierce face.
He was dressed in a royal robe with a red lining and a white exterior, and a gold and jade belt around his waist that outlined his perfect waist. Two naturally drooping red belts were tied around his shoulder guards for embellishment. Under the solemnity of the gorgeous clothes, he did not lose his own personality.
"It's you?!"
When she saw his face, the moment when Youyang and he looked at each other when she first came to her flashed back to her.
She blurted out: "Are you Xuan Wang Song Yanting!?"
