Chapter XVII
Everyone in Georgiani's room listened attentively as he continued to narrate his past.
It took us a day and a night to get back to the mansion at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains at noon.
Although Adams had been teasing Soo Soo along the way, she had been perfunctory and had barely spoken a word. Adams attributed all of this to Soo Soo having just arrived in a foreign country. However, I felt that every cell in this girl was expressing her helplessness, fear, and unwillingness.
After returning home, Adam introduced Soo Soo to everyone. Everyone swarmed around her and flattered her. Soo Soo remained expressionless as usual. Then, she quietly walked away and returned to her room.
This girl was too special. She was so quiet but could stir up such powerful waves in my heart. She was so petite and cute that I wanted to use my arms to protect her from harm.
Every time I secretly look at her, my heart beats faster. Every time I get close to her, I feel dizzy. This feeling was too wonderful. Could this be the so-called love?
I actually fell in love with my mistress. How could this be? I tried my best to control my emotions, but I couldn't suppress the restlessness in my heart. My eyes couldn't help but follow her. Every night, I tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep because I missed her.
I spent half a year in such a state of anxiety. During this period, Soo Soo did not leave her house. Other than the necessities of her life, she would lock herself in her room.
Adams said that this was a characteristic of Qing girls. I felt that she was getting thinner and quieter. This made my heart ache. I was thinking about how I could help this girl.
That afternoon, I finally found an opportunity. That day, I followed Adams to a merchant association and he decided to stay behind to discuss business with other merchants. I was allowed to go home first.
I returned to the mansion. As I passed through the garden in the courtyard, I saw a small hyacinth among the flowers in the garden. The small white flowers carried a faint fragrance. It made me think of Soo Soo. They were both so petite and not ostentatious. I picked it up and put it in front of my nose to smell it.
After that, I walked around the white main house and through the backyard, preparing to return to my room to rest. Suddenly, I raised my head and saw Soo Soo sitting in a white pavilion in front of me. At this moment, there was a table in the pavilion and she was drawing on a piece of white paper with a strange pen dipped in black liquid.
Soo Soo was wearing a white dress today. It was the Qing Empire's dress. The long hem of the dress and the cuffs were embroidered with a bright-colored lace. There were also some green flowers embroidered on the front of the dress. A long dress was trailing on the ground. I had always wondered why Soo Soo had never seen her feet exposed when she walked. How could she hide her feet under that small dress? And she walked especially elegantly, neither swaying nor swaying, and slowly came to your side.
I carefully examined her painting. She was painting the flowers and plants in the painting academy. There were so many brightly colored flowers and plants, but she could use one color to interpret them. She used the shades of black to divide the levels of her works. Those flowers with different postures were also lifelike under her pen.
He didn't expect a painting with only one color to be so beautiful! I was in a daze and did not notice that Soo Soo had already come to my side and was looking at me.
I came back to my senses and looked at her. This was the first time I was so close to her. The faint fragrance on her body made my heart beat faster.
I quickly lowered my head.”
I greeted her, but she still looked at me without saying a word. I blushed under her gaze and quickly changed the topic.
I pointed at her drawing and gave her a thumbs up. Soo Soo seemed to understand what I meant. She pointed at the painting and pointed at me. I didn't know what she meant and just stared at her blankly. Soo Soo picked up the painting and blew on it before passing it to me.
"Is this for me?" I pointed at myself in shock. Soo Soo nodded.
"Oh, thank you. I-I've never seen such beautiful flowers. Th-thank you." I was overwhelmed with excitement and incoherent.
"Then, then I'll give you this flower.”I stuffed the hyacinths I had just plucked into her hands. Soo Soo looked at the string of white flowers.
"This is a hyacinth. I feel that it looks like you.”I didn't care if she understood or not, I just continued to explain.
Soo Soo took a whiff of the flower's fragrance and tucked it into her sleeve. Then, she went back to the table to pack her things. I quickly went over to tidy up with her. Suddenly, I heard a melodious laughter. I looked at her in surprise. She was smiling. She was smiling so brightly and mesmerizingly, just like a blooming flower. I stared at the smile, afraid it would disappear.
Soo Soo took the handkerchief she had stuffed into her bosom and walked towards me. She lifted her small hand and gently wiped my face. Then, she showed me the black stain on the handkerchief. It turned out that I had accidentally wiped some black liquid on my face. No wonder she was smiling so happily. I felt that as long as I could see her cute smile, I would be willing to use that black liquid to wash my face every day.
Soo Soo continued to help me wipe the dirt off my face. I couldn't help but raise my hand and press it against hers. Her entire body trembled as she quickly pulled her hand away and turned around to leave. I watched her back as she left. I bent down to pick up the handkerchief she had dropped on the ground and held it tightly in my hand. I couldn't calm down for a long time. That night, I had insomnia again. I tossed and turned in bed, and my mind was filled with Soo Soo's smile and the image of us together in the afternoon.。。。。。
"Reinaldo, I love you." Soo Soo extended her hands towards me.
"I love you too." I opened my arms and pulled Soo Soo into my embrace. I placed my lips on her soft lips.
" I love you. Don't leave me." A loud slap interrupted my beautiful dream.
"You're having a wet dream early in the morning, and you even want to take advantage of an old man like me.”said Johnny loudly, tugging at my ear.
I opened my eyes and saw Johnny in my arms. I woke up immediately. I pushed him away and wiped the cold sweat off my forehead.
"What is it, Sir Butler?"
"What is it? Do you know what time it is now? Why aren't you preparing a carriage to fetch Master? I think your butt is itching again.”After saying that, he slapped my butt twice.
"Ah, I'm sorry. I-I'll go right away.”I scrambled out of bed. At the same time, I have to protect my poor butt from being spanked.
In the next few days, I could feel that Soo Soo was intentionally avoiding me. Although she rarely showed her face, she had been avoiding me on purpose these past few days. This made me feel very uncomfortable. Thus, when night came, I chose to take a walk on the small path outside the backyard.
As I walked, I noticed a trace of fire not far away. I followed the light and the cries became clearer and clearer. I walked over and quietly stood behind the tree. Soo Soo was crying as she smashed a stone at a delicate vase. I had seen this vase before. It was a gift that Adams had brought back from Qing Kingdom to please Soo Soo. Why did she do that?
I accidentally stepped on a dead branch on the ground. She raised her head alertly when she heard the sound. When she saw me, she immediately threw down the stone in her hand and looked at me in fear. Her whole body trembled.
I walked to her side and held the girl who was so scared that she was about to faint. I comforted her gently,"Soo Soo, don't be afraid. I won't tell anyone about this.”I made a cross on my mouth as I said that and extended three fingers to swear.
Only then did she calm down, but she suddenly hugged me and buried her face in my chest as she cried out in pain. I was frightened by this sudden action. I stood there in a daze, not knowing how to comfort her. I could only let her cry in my arms.
Gradually, her emotions began to calm down. I raised my hand to caress her hair. Her hair was soft and smooth. Soo Soo raised her head to look at me with tears in her eyes. I gently wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes and watched her. This girl was too beautiful. She was so beautiful that it made my heart ache. I could not suppress my passion and lowered my head to kiss her small mouth. Just as our lips were about to touch, Soo Soo seemed to suddenly wake up. She pushed me away and ran away.
What grievances had she suffered? Why did she come here alone and cry secretly? Why did he break the vase? I made up my mind to ask her properly the next time I met her.
The next morning, I went out to do some errands for Adams. When I returned home in the afternoon, I realized that the atmosphere in the house was very strange. Adams was sitting on her master's throne with a dark face, and a group of servants were standing beside her in fear. They looked at each other.
"Why didn't anyone admit it? Then, it would be on everyone's head.”Adam's words immediately caused a huge commotion in the hall. Everyone was in danger, and some people were already crying.
"What exactly is it?" I asked Dave, who was standing beside me.
He whispered into my ear,""Master found the broken pieces of porcelain he bought from the Qing Kingdom at a high price by the side of the road in the backyard when he was riding this morning. He suspected that someone had broken it and buried it there. He didn't expect Master to find it, so he is investigating this matter.”
After listening to Dave's explanation, I finally understood what had happened. At the same time, I became even more worried about Soo Soo. I searched for her figure in the crowd and finally saw her pale face in a corner. She looked at the servants with obvious guilt in her eyes.
I shuttled through the crowd and walked towards her. Soo Soo noticed me. Her eyes were already wet. I quickly gave her a look to stop her from doing anything stupid. However, she shook her head and walked towards Adams resolutely.
No, don't let me cry out anxiously in my heart. Seeing that Soo Soo was getting closer and closer to Adams, I made a decision to not let Soo Soo get hurt.
"M-Master, I-I did it.”I pushed everyone aside and kneeled in front of Adams.
"Are you saying that you broke the vase?”Adams raised an eyebrow and looked at me.
"Y-yes." "A few days ago, when I was preparing my master's luggage, I accidentally dropped a vase and broke it. I was afraid of being punished by my master, so I secretly buried it in the backyard.”
"Since you are afraid, why are you admitting it now?”Adams asked in confusion.
"I couldn't bear to let everyone be punished for me, so I admitted it. Master, please be lenient with me.”
I kneeled on the ground and begged, trembling all over. I knew that what awaited me next was inhumane abuse.
"Looks like I've been too good to you during this period of time. You've become more and more arrogant after not being beaten for a long time.”Adams said angrily,""Johnny, clean up the execution rack in the square and prepare a bucket of chili water for me. I'm going to teach this guy a lesson today. I swear he'll never forget it.”
" Yes." Johnny accepted the order and went to work.
"M-Master." When I heard Master's words, I was so afraid that I trembled like a leaf in the wind. Being whipped was already terrible. In my memory, the only two times I was whipped made me bedridden for three months. This time, I had to soak in chili water. The pain was unimaginable.
I can only beg Master to forgive me on account of being master and servant. "Please, please, Master. I can't stand that kind of torture. You can spank my butt, even if you break it. I just hope you don't whip me.”I was about to cry. I kept begging, and many people around me were pleading for me.
But none of them could shake Adams 'heart of stone. "Master, everything is ready." Johnny came back to report.
"Everyone, gather at the square." Adams ordered.
The servants swarmed to the square. I was already limp on the ground and carried out by two people. Soo Soo also followed me. I didn't want her to see me being beaten up and shaking her head vigorously, but she still followed me.
I was stripped naked on the execution platform, and my naked hands and feet were tied to the pillar on the platform. Adams was personally executing the punishment. His eyes shone with excitement.
"You know I won't show mercy. I hope you won't forget to admit your mistake.”
Adams grabbed my hair and whispered into my ear,""I won't count the number of times I'll be whipped this time until I'm satisfied. If you dare to struggle and resist, I'll increase the punishment.”I nodded with tears in my eyes.
Adams took out a whip soaked in chili water and swung it on the ground. That piercing sound stimulated every cell in my body. I knew that hellish torture was coming. I inhaled deeply and exhaled quickly to ease my nervousness.
The first slap landed heavily on his back. "Ah, ah, I'm sorry, Master. I won't dare to do it again.”
I couldn't help but cry out loud. It was too painful. The whip immediately broke my skin when it landed on my body. His entire back was burning with pain, and it quickly spread throughout his entire body. Pa, pa, pa, the second, the third, and the fourth time, they mercilessly attacked me.
"Ah, I'm sorry. I was wrong. Ah-hmph…" Every time I was whipped, I had to admit that I was wrong. Otherwise, Adams would whip me even more crazily.
Soo Soo covered her mouth as tears streamed down her face. I watched as she pushed aside the crowd and squeezed her way in. No, don't come in. Don't look at me in such a sorry state.
I tried my best to shake my head at her with my eyes, hoping that she would leave, but she still wanted to squeeze in. What did she want to do? No, no, she must not be hurt.
"Ah, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. Please punish me severely. I've let you down. Please don't let your efforts go to waste.”Although I was speaking to Adams, I was actually speaking to Soo Soo. I hoped that she would at least understand the meaning behind my words.
Soo Soo stopped in her tracks and covered her eyes. She could no longer bear to watch and fell to the ground, crying bitterly. More and more blood stains appeared on my back, and it was already a bloody mess. Adams attacked my buttocks and thighs again. Sweat and blood soaked the ground around me.
The intense pain tortured every single one of my nerves. From the beginning, I begged for mercy loudly, then moaned intermittently, and now I was delirious. I had already reached my limit. At this moment, I only hoped that I would die quickly so that I would no longer have to endure this terrible torture.
My consciousness became more and more blurry, and my body began to weaken. However, the ropes on my hands and feet firmly bound me so that I couldn't relax. My hands were already tied into my flesh by the ropes. I couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.
I was woken up by a bucket of cold water. Adams seemed to be addicted to whipping me and torturing me. She started hitting me again in high spirits.
"M-Master, ahem, ahem, I-I know I was wrong. Huhu, I was really wrong. I won't do it again. Please let me go. I-I can't take it anymore. Don't torture me anymore. I-Why don't you just kill me?”I begged for mercy from my master, but he was unmoved.
"I can't bear to kill you. You've brought me so much happiness, but I won't let you off so easily. I want you to remember this flogging for the rest of your life, hahaha.”Adams revealed a sinister smile as she whipped me like a madman.
My hoarse voice grew weaker and weaker. Just like that, Adams knocked me out and woke me up again. She knocked me out again and again until she was exhausted and had no more strength to hit me. Only then did he let me go.
I was dragged back to my room by someone, and Adams even ordered everyone not to heal me, nor to give me medicine or food. They locked me up for three days before they could give me food. He didn't even give me clothes and let me lie unconscious on the bed.。。。。。
