Please read this at kitchennovel dot colances with each other, then stared hard at Su Nuan Nuan All three strained their ears to hear what Su Nuan Nuan said next
Su Nuan Nuan cleared her throat pointedly and said, ”Don't thank o back to the mansion Sometimes, it's better to be dead than to suffer life There are many witnesses to what happened today, so there's no way for us to hide it The lord can stay his hand and not take your life, but he cannot stop tongues fro Have you considered what your life will be like once back at the mansion? Are you mentally prepared on what you will face? You will be ridiculed, mocked and criticized, ruo Even those who had nothing to do with this matter will take the chance to spit on you Well, are you ready to face that?”
The slaves turned pale at this Clearly they haven't thought so far ahead Su Nuan Nuan sighed, then said gently, ”I am not here to tell you that you've escaped the death penalty, but to tell you certain principles of life None of you are soldiers, nor are you an army deserter If you run away from a war, that's an act of criht's incident, even if you have co, does not deserve the death penalty
Life is very precious Therefore it is perfectly natural for everyone to do their best to survive The fact that you did not put your life on the line for your master must of course be punished, but the fact that you have done so to protect your own life is so that I can sy, you must pay for it The slanders and criticism you'll face in the future will be your punishreat ene I hope that in the future, you may bravely bear the cost of this action and continue to live courageously under the shadow of your action Don't be like today and try to take the easy way out If you do so, you will just die under the knife of other people's tongue”
”First rannies were shocked: What master would say this to their servant? Would any e their slaves to live on like this? That's the heir's wife, a rass which she stepped on everyday, they were the humblest of the humble So… why?
Su Nuan Nuan looked at the blanked out slaves, their tears still falling like translucent beads, but not a single one of them raised a sleeve to wipe their tears away Her heart ached In truth, she had no idea whether she did the right thing or not The only thing she was sure of was that she could not just stand back and watch as the lives of these women were snuffed out over such a trivial h, she said, ”Life is hard, I have no idea whether I did the right thing pleading for your life However, no ht? You all have family, parents, husband and children If you die, how many people would s are too much, think of the people ill miss youKeep your fa as you can endure the next few et about this This too shall pass, and one day you will live with ease”
”We hureat mercy We humble ones… will not fail first madam's expectations No matter how poisonous the words or cruel the curses, we shall endure We will live well even under the worst insults As first ladly accept first race”
One of the slaves bravely staht, and formally, deferentially koed to Nuan Nuan The rest of the slaves also sat upright, and koed, ”We huladly bear our punishment We humble ones know that we live because of madam's kindness, we shall do our best to live even at the threat of the sword”
”Very good, since you know have this kind of resolution, I've clearly not wastedyour life”
Su Nuan Nuan nodded approvingly, then turned to leave The three grannies hurriedly escorted her out One of the grannies tittered and said, ”Madam certainly has a heart of the Buddha, surely there's no need to save them from their own heinous actions? They had committed an unpardonable crime after all…”
Su Nuan Nuan flashed her a look, and the granny sed the rest of her words down Su Nuan Nuan's voice was soft as she said, ”An unpardonable crime? Just because they wanted to live? Well then, can you say for sure, when you rushed at the enemy yesterday that you have absolutely no fear in your heart? If you happened to be at their age, can you guarantee that you would have no such selfish thought in your head?”
The granny's face hite When she thought over Su Nuan Nuan's words, cold sweat popped out all over her body Su Nuan Nuan continued speaking in that soft, ales, who had not co in their life? Today, I rescued them from death In the future, if the lord for some reason orders your death, I shall plead for you as well”
Please read this at kitchennovel dot co until Su Nuan Nuan and Xiang Yun disappeared into the night None of the while But, after sosuch a kindhearted randma? You've really made a bad i it for madam's sake How is she supposed to properly keep the house when she's so gentle and lenient?” this granny was actually quite shaken by Su Nuan Nuan's quiet words, but there was no way she was going to adranny sneered, ”Gentle and lenient? Think carefully who you're describing again Have you forgotten what she was like in the past? No entle and lenient' type I don't know about others, but I do know that Auntie Lu would inevitably shrink dohenever first ives an order, she'd be the first to juh both Madaers, I've never seen her treat those tith that h, as far as I can see, we should follow the first madam from now on You can't find such a benevolent and virtuous yet strong and intelligent master even if you try for years You two listen to me, in the future the whole ofelse aside, who do you think those maids inside will be loyal to froent people, perhaps too intelligent for their own good, but for firstto them like that, do you think they will be loyal to anyone aside fro that neither Madam Yun or the branch lady would ever achieve in their lifetiranny The other two, even the reement
By now, Su Nuan Nuan had left the side hall and was strolling under the ht looked al was bone white or in deep shadows Xiang Yun shi+vered a little, the maid really wanted to return to her room, but mindful of her mistress' mental burdens, she continued to walk on She dared not say a word, afraid that she will interrupt whatever Missy was thinking
”Xiang Yun, do you think I did the right thing?”
At Su Nuan Nuan's sudden question, Xiang Yun was caught off guard The : Hoould I knohether Missy did is right or not? I only know that we should return to our roo Yun opened herwhat to say Suddenly, a figure appeared from the dark to say in his clear voice, ”You were absolutely certain when arguing with me earlier, what's with all the doubt now?”
Su Nuan Nuan and Xiang Yun both turned and saw Duan Tingxuan sh he was not close enough for theht was incredibly flattering upon his tall and noble figure When he saw that he had their attention, he strode forward in a few quick steps and reached for the lantern in Xiang Yun's hand In a waro back first I shall ith yourYun happily complied and ran off Su Nuan Nuan stared at thea little aard, she pouted and said, ”She sure runs fast, what's that about? It's not like she's being chased by a dog”
