He had never felt that the road to the woodshed was so long. Step by step, the wound on his back was dragged along, and he was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat. His thin body seemed to be about to disappear into the increasingly bright sunlight. This road seemed to have no end...
"Miss, don't feel wronged. Actually, we are forced to be slaves. We follow whoever is in power. Sigh, actually, in these years in the Prime Minister's residence, we also felt that Young Miss was kind and beautiful, and there was nothing to say about her to the servants---but just now, Old Master and the others were all watching, so we had no choice…Young Miss, please forgive us.”
Cold sweat trickled down to his chin. He was drenched in sweat and blood. Chang 'an was thinking, Indeed, he was too heavy-handed.
Chang An curled her lips and smiled indifferently. She said," Alright, I won't make things difficult for you. So, I'll just ask you one question-who are you working for now? Tell me, I'll keep my word, I won't make things difficult for you. I just want to live a more sensible life, in the future…be more careful!”
Chang 'an gritted her teeth and said the words " be careful." She still remembered that they had said the same thing in her previous life at this time. How did she answer them?
They were just following their own personalities and did not realize that their hints were actually saying that they were also being instructed by others. At that time, he had scolded them and his anger had subsided. However, the relationship between him and his servants could no longer be restored.
She scolded them, you bunch of dog slaves! Father was just angry. Did you really fight when he asked you to? I'll definitely pay you back double in a few days!
There was nothing she couldn't curse out.
Actually, that was really not her intention. It was just that she was too wronged and had nowhere to vent her anger.
"This servant can only say that in the Prime Minister's residence, that person is actually a pitiful person…Young Lady should understand.”
"Pitiful…Ha, who in this world isn't pitiful?”
There must be something hateful about a pitiful person, right?
Then, it was Third Madam. She had no children and no one to rely on in her old age. Was she considered a pitiful person?
It was Third Madam! Chang An laughed at himself for being so pitiful. He was so pitiful that he had been played for a lifetime and only realized how muddled he had been in his previous life after being reborn!
At that time, she did not even see clearly that Third Madam and Lin Changning and her daughter were on the same side.
Chang An sneered." I see. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you." After all, you're forced by life. But I won't let you live comfortably!
At this time, you chose to stand on Third Madam's side instead of choosing to show mercy. Standing on my side is enough to show that your sense of right and wrong is not strong. You are just bullying the weak and fearing the strong!
"We're here. Miss, please suffer here first. We won't let you suffer.”
Before Chang 'an could figure out what he meant, the servants had already gone into the firewood room to clean up. Chang' an looked at the firewood room. They said that they would not let her suffer, but in fact, they just laid a few more layers of thatch on the ground. The damp places could not be dried, and it was very dark. It was full of insects, so there was naturally a lot of firewood. The whole house did not even have a window to breathe.
After all, this was a woodshed! If there was a window, what would happen if it leaked on a rainy day?
"I don't think Master will come here for a while. Why don't you lie down first, Miss?”
"No need!" Chang An's face was cold and he seemed to be sneering.""I just need to kneel."
The four servants were obedient." Then... we will go buy medicine, Miss..."
"Wait!" Chang 'an turned around and looked at the four slaves. He sized them up. They were tall, short, fat, and thin. He had a general impression of their facial features. However, these four people looked somewhat similar. Chang' an asked coldly,"What are your names?”
"Li Da Yong."
"Li Eryong."
"Li San Yong."
"Li Siyong."
Why did they not only look similar, but even their names were similar? "What's the relationship between the four of you?" Chang 'an could not help but wonder.”
" Eldest Miss has sharp eyes. The four of us are indeed related. We were originally blood brothers, but because we had too many brothers and our family was too poor, our parents could not support us, so we sold ourselves to the Prime Minister's Estate…"
"It's like this!"
This was not surprising. Although it was under the emperor's feet, not everyone was rich. There were also beggars at the foot of the imperial city!
"Alright, you guys can leave!"
The four of them hesitated,"Miss, that medicine…"
Chang 'an endured the pain and showed a pained expression. He waved his hand and said,""No need!"
What was the use of bringing medicine? Who would apply medicine for her?
Moreover, if her memory was correct, she clearly remembered that tonight, in the dead of night, Lin Changning would bring food and medicine to treat her flesh wounds.
She clearly remembered how well Lin Changning treated her, but at the same time, she also clearly remembered the pain that Lin Changning brought her!
*——*——*
" Mother…" Lin Changning looked at his mother, as if he found it difficult to speak.
The Second Mistress ignored Lin Changning's anxiety and continued to leisurely sip her tea. She slowly took a sip of tea and said indifferently after a long while,"What is it?"
Lin Changning rolled his eyes." Are we just going to let her go like this?”
The Second Mistress didn't even lift her eyelids. Her lips curled up." What's wrong? Still not satisfied?"
Lin Changning's eyes darkened." I just didn't expect that she wouldn't die from falling from such a high place! It's really a cheap life!"
"Well, this time-I'm afraid she's had enough of it, she'll be half dead if not dead! Not to mention whether his body could take it or not, just his status, he probably wouldn't be treated like before, right?”
"Yes, this is also what I am most satisfied with. Looking at Father, it seems that he is not willing to look at her again. "Mother," Lin Changning said with a smile. He really built his happiness on Lin Changan's pain.
The Second Mistress smiled." I just don't know how the Crown Prince will react when he hears about this after a few days. I'm really looking forward to it!"
Hearing this, Lin Changning's eyes revealed a ferocious expression." The Crown Prince has hated that slut since a long time ago. He just wanted to use her because of her identity! Mother couldn't possibly think that the Crown Prince was sincere towards that slut, right?”
As expected, the Second Mistress was even more pleased with herself when she heard this." So that's how it is. Your Highness the Crown Prince is really amazing. Even I was deceived!" Presumably, everyone had been deceived as well.”
Everyone, who was included?
The mother and daughter naturally had a tacit understanding.
Did Lin Changning fancy the Crown Prince? She was probably the only one who knew.
As a result, the relationship between mother and daughter became even more harmonious. Lin Changning walked to his mother's side and poured tea for her. He smiled and did not mention many things anymore.
The Second Mistress sipped the tea that her daughter had poured with satisfaction and smiled." It seems like it's time to change the title of the number one beauty of the Kingdom of Qi. Why can't the number one beauty of the Kingdom of Qi even hold onto a man?”
"Yeah!"
It could only be said that Lin Changan was really too stupid! What a waste of her good looks!
"The Crown Prince is not an ordinary person. How could he be so easily bewitched by her appearance?”Lin Changning's gaze was distant, as if he was looking at something that did not exist in front of him.
*——*——*
"Master, how can you be so heartless! We only have one daughter, and you actually…30 strokes of the cane! How could his daughter's weak body withstand thirty strokes of the cane? Master-please..."
First Madam was still begging, but the Prime Minister was not moved. Not only that, but he was also very disapproving of First Madam's words.
"What do you mean we only have one daughter? Isn't Changning our daughter? Don't favor her too much!"
Her tone was filled with undisguised anger. When First Madam heard this, she felt even more desperate.
"Good! Well, you don't only have Chang 'an as your daughter. Yes, you also have Lin Changning! I think you just want to kill Chang 'an and then anger me to death…so that you can help her become the first wife, right?”Lady Wang was so angry that she almost fainted.
Over the years, Lady Wang's health had not been very good. It was the root of her illness when she was born in Chang 'an. The Prime Minister had always been accommodating and would not argue with Lady Wang easily. However, for some reason, he was not willing to accommodate her today.
They had been husband and wife for many years, but this was the first time they had said such unpleasant words.
"Madam, Madam, Master, Madam is sick!”
"Men! Go get the doctor-"
"Yes, Master!"
The Prime Minister looked at his wife lying on the bed and regretted arguing with her just now. He knew that she doted on her daughter so much. Even if her daughter did something that disgraced the family, she would not blame her.
He sighed helplessly.""Sigh, what should we do?"
"The doctor is here-"
"Come and see my wife."
The doctor was already very familiar with the Prime Minister's wife's condition and had already prepared a set of acupuncture methods.”
The Prime Minister made way for her, and after the doctor performed the acupuncture, Madam woke up not long after.
"Madam, you're awake!" The Prime Minister looked at his wife guiltily.
The Eldest Mistress did not want to talk to the Prime Minister at all. She just looked at the top of the tent with a lifeless gaze." Master, if you can't agree to my request..."
"There are rules in the family. Furen should take good care of her body. Don't think too much about other things for the time being!”
The Prime Minister of a country was indeed ruthless. It seemed that his ruthlessness was not only reflected in national affairs, but also at home. Lady Wang felt heartbroken when she thought of her daughter kneeling in the woodshed. She didn't care if her body could take it or not. She just felt sad.
The Prime Minister turned around and left.
As soon as he came out of First Madam's room, he asked the servant,"Reed, go and investigate. Is the young miss still behaving herself in the woodshed? Is there weariness--is there--do you understand?”
" Uh…" The servant was really frightened. How could they, servants, dare to go against their master's wishes? So, they left obediently." Yes, Master, this servant will go now."”
"Okay, report to me when you get back to the study.”
The Prime Minister went to the study just like that, and Reed had been by the Prime Minister's side for many years. He could even guess the Prime Minister's thoughts from a simple look in the Prime Minister's eyes. How could he not know that the Prime Minister was afraid that the young miss 'body would not be able to withstand staying in the woodshed...
