Chapter 7 (2/2)
Murong Shu Qing was immersing in the good mood of the landscape, not far from her, two shadows bursted into her line of sight in panic. She narrowed her eyes to look at them, one of them should be Murong Xiang’s second Madam, Yun Pei Hua. Then who was the other young servant girl? She looked like she was in a difficult situation, the two people were fl.u.s.tered. Stretching her waist, it had been boring anyway, Murong Shu Qing got up and walked over towards the two people.
“Madam, I am begging you to save Miss, ok. Miss is really suffering ah!” Xiao Chan pulled Yun Pei Hua’s skirt, her crying face was completely wrinkled together, she ran out to beg Madam this time. If Madam could not save Miss, then Miss would be finished!
“It is not that I do not want to save Wan-er, but ~~ but I am only a woman (she was saying this using a derogatory term), what ways do I have.” Yun Pei Hua listened to Xiao Chan’s words, her heart was also pulled tight together. Poor child ah!
“You go and beg Master, in any case, Miss is also Master’s flesh and blood ah!” Xiao Chan cried until her eyes were swollen like walnuts, but this hope to save Miss, she would desperately grab the corner of Yun Pei Hua’s skirt and not letting go, just liked asking for help at the grain of rice.
“When does Master even listen to what I am saying, when does he regard Wan-er as his flesh and blood ah!” Finished speaking, both of them were holding and crying bitterly together.
Murong Shu Qing was leaning on the door by the side of Chu Yun pavilion, it was really helpless to see both of these people were crying their eyes out, if she did not say anything, they would still be crying blindly.
“It is very lively today ah!” A languid voice echoed just now. The two people who were inside, looked as if they saw a ghost and fell on the ground, Xiao Chan was scared, her whole body was trembling even more.
Murong Shu Qing slowly walked in front of the two people, Yun Pei Hua already stood up, and wiped the tears that were in her face, and said with a s.h.i.+vering voice: “Shu Qing, you ~ why are you here?” Yun Pei Hua was holding a silk handkerchief on her hand, anything that she said was not clear because she was scared in her heart. Even if they did not need to call Murong Shu Qing Elder Miss these past years, and they could call by her name, but after receiving bullying for many years, she was still shrouded with dread towards her.
“Whose servant girl is this, she is very unfamiliar.” Murong Shu Qing looked at the young servant girl who was landing on the ground that her body almost coiled like a ball, she only felt helplessness in her heart. It made her to think of the event from three years ago, when all of the people thought that she was a ghost when they saw her. It was nothing if one loved to kneel down, but one must not be forced to crawl on the ground. It was with great difficulty that the situation was better now, another young servant girl liked that appeared again (kneeling in front of her).
“This slave servant ~~ this slave servant is Xiao Chan, I am, I am ~~ serving Miss Wan Ru!” Xiao Chan’s crying made her voice sounded hoa.r.s.e and her voice was also trembling so it made Murong Shu Qing to knit her eyebrows.
“Wan Ru? Then, why are you here?” After thinking for a long time, she remembered Murong Wan Ru, she was Murong Xiang’s first daughter, she got married four years ago. Due to Murong Shu Qing wanted to be the eldest Miss, so Murong Wan Ru could only addressed as Miss Wan Ru.
Yun Pei Hua quickly moved in front of Xiao Chan and hastily said: “She ~~~ she is here to take Wan Ru’s stuffs, and she will leave immediately.”
“Taking what stuffs? Taking what?” Her intonation was relaxed, as if it was bathed in the spring wind, but these two people, the one who was kneeling and the one who was standing, were immediately lost their voices. The daughter who was already married out, and she still came back to take any stuffs. If Master misunderstood that she would frequently take Murong family’s stuffs to give to Wan Ru, then it would be dreadful.
“You get up, ok, what are you returning for, you should speak clearly, you still do not want to speak the truth.” Murong Shu Qing sat down on the stone bench inside the courtyard.
For a good moment, Xiao Chan had not stood up, instead, she was kneeling and crawling in front of Murong Shu Qing, but did not dare to pull the corner of her skirt, she could only continuously kowtowed in front of her, while her mouth was calling out: “Eldest Miss, save Miss, ok, I am begging you!” Continuously, her head was knocked on the ground and bleeding.
“Alright, speak clearly about the matter, stop kowtowing, get up and speak!” Murong Shu Qing pulled Xiao Chan up, and she could see that her forehead was bleeding badly. What kind of an enormous crime could be, she wanted to listen to it properly.
Xiao Chan did not dare to believe that the Eldest Miss was willing to listen to her, but in any case, she must try if there was an opportunity to save Miss: “When Miss just got married to the Li’s family, the Li’s family treated Miss pretty good at first, afterwards, because Miss did not get pregnant after one year, Master Li brought in a concubine for Guye (an appellation for son in law that is used by the wife’s family), it was Guye’s younger cousin (from maternal side). Since then, Guye was indifferent towards Miss, two years ago, Master Li admittedly said that Miss was a n.o.body at the Murong’s family, so she could not help their Li’s family, they treated Miss worst and worst. Later, Guye took another small concubine again from a brothel, not long after, the woman was pregnant, because she was doted by Guye, she wrongly accused that Miss hurt the child inside her abdomen. Guye was in a rage, and he hit Miss, afterwards, Miss felt somewhat unsatisfactory so they squared off. Last month, the small concubine accused Miss wrongly that she injured the young master, Guye hit Miss so hard and she could not get out of the bed now, and we were not allowed to call a physician. They were saying that it would lose the Li family’s face, so Miss could not look for a physician. I am afraid ~~ afraid ~~.” Once she was already unable to talk anymore, Xiao Chan tumbled to sit down, and cried out without talking anymore. Yun Pei Hua was also wiping her tears, her child ah!
Murong Shu Qing had not said anything, she was only sitting quietly, Xiao Chan and Yun Pei Hua did not dare to make any sounds, the whole Chu Yun pavilion was fearfully quiet.
“Zi Yuan!” Not knowing when Zi Yuan was already standing at the gate of the Chu Yun pavilion, but hearing Murong Shu Qing called her, she walked slowly to come in.
“Look for a physician and let him examine this girl, and go to Tang Li’s family with her tomorrow, take Wan Ru home, just say that Master and Madam are longing for their daughter, and want her to stay for a few days. If they are making things difficult for you, just tell Li Dong Ming that Magistrate w.a.n.g will inspect Rong district next month, ask him if he already makes a good preparation?! He naturally knows how difficult to deal with the inspection, and does not dare not to let go off a person (Wan Ru).” Murong Shu Qing finished speaking, and got up to leave Chu Yun pavilion. She could not help to sigh again that the woman in this time period was sorrowful, even though domestic violence in the modern time meant that one would break the law, and it was still happening (in modern time), it would be even more during this time period. If the woman’s family was not powerful, she could be killed, and n.o.body would dare to care about it.
“Yes! Master Xing Hun and the two Gongzi have already returned, the food is also prepared.”
“I am very tired today, and will not go out to eat, deliver the food to Sui Yuan, ok. Tell Xing Hun that he can begin to learn to ride a horse from Xuan tomorrow, he can learn diligently.”
The voices from the two people gradually became far away, but the two people who were in Chu Yun pavilion had not recovered yet. After a long time, Yun Pei Hua recovered: “Wan Ru is saved, Wan Ru is saved.” She was crying and foolishly pulling Xiao Chan. It was happy tears this time.
Xiao Chan still did not dare to believe that the Eldest Miss unexpectedly agreed to save Miss, and even agreed to take Miss home. Miss was really saved. But even though the Eldest Miss was very favored, did she not need Master’s acknowledgment?? But it did not matter, as she was willing to save Miss, that was good.
