Chapter 429 Do you remember everything?
Second Madam Ji sent word, instructing Miss Shen, the only beloved girl of the Second Young Master in the mansion, to personally serve him in his room.
The servants quickly ran to invite him.
Who knew that halfway through, the fake Shen who was abandoned in the deserted yard was also taken to Chu Yanqiu's study by someone.
Miss Shen looked at the fake Shen who entered Chu Yanqiu's yard in front, so she pulled her maid and asked her to slow down.
Unexpectedly, the little maidservant pouted and said to her mistress in great dissatisfaction, "Master, why are you so afraid of that fake? According to what I say, I should rush over and give her a beating, then have her dragged to the deserted courtyard and not allow her to take a single step out."
Miss Shen's face was displeased. She scolded the maid Dengzhi, "Don't you dare do stupid things around me? Don't you have any brains? If it weren't for the Second Young Master's order, how could she have been freed from her confinement and walked out of that deserted courtyard?"
Dengzhi was scolded and said with a guilty look on her face: "It's still what the young lady said. This servant will not say too much in the future, and will not cause trouble for the young lady."
After all, Miss Shen didn't like its service, so she sent her back to her own yard. She was left alone and entered Chu Yanqiu's yard alone.
She moved lightly and gracefully to the door of the house, and looked inside through the half-open door. No one noticed that she had arrived.
She watched the two people talking inside quietly.
Chu Yanqiu saw that it was Shen who had really arrived. His eyes were filled with sincere and intense affection, almost overflowing with it. He propped himself up from his lying position and grabbed Shen's hand. His lips trembled with excitement. The look of nervousness, anxiety, and concern in his eyes would move anyone who saw it. He asked, "Are you okay? She? It's so great that she didn't kill you!"
Shen was stunned.
The two people are so in tune with each other that they only need one sentence to understand each other's mood.
Shen was a little bit incredulous. She asked, "You? Do you remember?"
Chu Yanqiu's guilty and worried eyes were instantly filled with tears, which flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes.
"I'm sorry! I hurt you after all. I almost killed you."
Looking at him, he almost buried his head in his chest with guilt, hunched over, but his hands were still held, holding his own hands like treasures.
How could Shen not be moved?
She even forgot that just half a minute ago, a sharp dagger appeared in her hand, and she wished she could stab him with it the moment they met.
Shen slowly embraced the man, who was in so much pain that he was about to pass away, into her arms.
The moment Chu Yanqiu was pulled into his arms, he could no longer control his emotions.
He burst into tears.
He was truly useless. Facing the powerful Immortal Yuchi who controlled her, he couldn't escape her clutches. This star-crossed couple, in front of the Immortal Yuchi, were as weak as ants, ready to be crushed at any moment. He wasn't afraid of his own death, but he couldn't face her own.
What should he do? He really didn't know what to do.
Shen quietly let the man vent in his arms, her mind racing.
The perverted Yuchi Lian, at this time, recovered Chu Yanqiu's memory. She must have come up with another conspiracy. She didn't know what the conspiracy was, but she knew that the next step would be an even more crazy revenge against her.
At this moment, Chu Yanqiu raised his head from her arms, looked at her and said, "Hurry and run away! Escape secretly back to the Slit Mountain. Instead of being killed by her, it's better to escape to the Slit Mountain. Even if you have to wander in the ever-changing time and space outside, you can still save your life, right?"
Looking at his tear-stained face and red eyes, he looked like a helpless child.
"Fool! It's too late to find a way out for me now."
After Shen Wen finished speaking, he hugged Chu Yanqiu tightly in his arms.
Miss Shen, who was standing by the door, watched the entire incident. The corners of her mouth twitched until Chu Yanqiu was tired of crying. Then, Miss Shen laid him flat on the bed and gently covered him with a blanket.
Miss Shen retreated from the door.
Dengzhi, a maid who was a little further away, saw her lady was about to leave and hurried over to serve her.
Dengzhi walked with her as he said, "Young lady, Madam Liu from the eldest son's courtyard is standing at your gate again today. What's wrong with Madam Liu? If she wants to be on good terms with you, according to a noble family like ours, she should send someone to invite you to dinner. That way, the courtesies will be exchanged and the relationship will be established. Madam Liu is also from a noble family, so she shouldn't be ignorant of this principle."
Miss Shen asked, "What day is it today? She's standing at the gate of my yard, watching?"
Dengzhi said, "It's the fifth day, right?"
Miss Shen nodded.
At this time, the two of them had just stood at the gate, and Miss Shen and her servant turned around and looked towards Chu Yanqiu's house.
"Hey, girl! That fake one is out. She's looking at us. Does she have something to say to you?"
Miss Shen looked at Shen quietly.
Speaking of Mrs. Liu in the eldest son's courtyard, she remembered something.
Five days ago, Miss Shen secretly went to the deserted courtyard to see Shen Shi. At the gate, she saw a master and servant inside, and two maids in the deserted courtyard were quarreling.
Madam Liu had long known that Shen was locked up in a deserted courtyard by Chu Yanqiu. She had probably secretly helped the immobile Shen Wen several times, and she couldn't stand the two maids being so harsh to Shen Wen that they didn't even give her water to drink.
Madam Liu was once rescued by Shen Wen, a hero. It was at a banquet at the Duke Ji's mansion. She was almost raped by a lecher who was attracted by her beauty. It was Shen Wen who passed by and saved her. He also kicked the lecher's penis and broke it.
Madam Liu has always been thinking about these favors. Since she heard a few days ago that Shen Wen had returned to Duke Ji's Mansion again, and heard that there were two real people and one fake one, she somehow concluded that the Shen Wen abandoned in the deserted courtyard was the real one.
At this time, Shen, who was standing in front of the door, saw that the master and servant had no intention of leaving immediately, so she walked over to them.
Shen said, "Thank you for letting me out and for telling people to take care of me."
Miss Shen said, "Do you really want to thank me for this favor? Actually, I know that even without my extra words, you wouldn't be living too badly. I just don't know what the purpose of the person who tortured you is this time."
She saw that Shen Wen looked melancholy, and it was obvious that the last sentence hit the nail on the head.
She changed the subject and said, "Speaking of thanking people for favors, shouldn't you thank someone else?"
Shen Wen couldn't remember for a moment, so he asked, "Who?"
She said, "The eldest son's Madam Liu."
Shen Wen then remembered that during those days he was unable to move his hands and feet and was abused by two bad maids in the deserted courtyard. He was not given food all day, and even a sip of water was only given when he remembered. Otherwise, he would be thirsty. Fortunately, there was a Madam Liu who was not afraid of being implicated by him, and she secretly came to see him for several days and gave him water.
The two people were standing at the gate talking, but they didn't expect that the young guard Chihe had already come to the door, overheard their conversation and took them away.
Chi He bowed to the two people and said, "Did you two girls just mention Madam Liu from the eldest master's family? She seems to be ill. I just passed by and met the doctor. He was going to Madam Liu's courtyard."
The maid Dengzhi looked at her daughter's expression and replied, "Yes, Brother Chihe, where are you from? I guess the Second Young Master has given you an important order, and you're not going in to report it?"
Chi He is not a shy person. He is not good at dealing with women. He just said something about Madam Liu to the two women because he blurted it out on a sudden inspiration.
Chi He smiled and said to Deng Zhi, "We have to go see the Second Young Master as soon as possible. I won't bother you any more. Ladies, please feel free to do as you please."
At this time, Miss Shen stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, Chihe, you said you met a doctor who went to treat Madam Liu? How is her illness? Is it very serious?"
Chi He said, "Looking at the way the doctor was hurriedly dragged away, the servants leading the way must have been very anxious, right? After all, Madam Liu always asks for the doctor, so I didn't ask too much about the situation."
Watching Chi He walk away, Miss Shen looked at Shen Wen and said, "I guess you're also worried about Madam Liu, right? Why don't you go see her?"
Seeing that Shen Wen remained silent, she asked, "Are you afraid that with your status, the servants in her room will stop you?"
At this time, Dengzhi sighed and said, "Speaking of which, this Madam Liu is quite pitiful. When she married into the family, her husband didn't love her and her mother-in-law didn't like her. She was also a naive person who was spoiled by nature. She served at her mother-in-law's knees. If she said something that displeased her mother-in-law, she would be punished by kneeling for several hours. People were sent every few days to teach her the rules. If she didn't learn well, she would be beaten with a cane. Her life was really..."
Having said this, Dengzhi hesitated to speak. Although they were just three people talking in private, if this was heard by the wind and reached the ears of Madam Ji, then she, a little maid, would be in great trouble.
Shen Wen didn't expect that Madam Liu was actually living such a bad life, but now that it was like that, how could she forget that Madam Ji had tortured her a lot in the past.
Thinking of this, Shen Wen said to Miss Shen, "Listen to what you said, let's go to Madam Liu to see her."
When Shen Wen said this, a pang of sadness welled up in his heart. He recalled the look in Madam Ji's eyes. The sharpness in the corners of her eyes seemed to show her indifference and contempt for all life. It seemed that except for herself, everyone else in the world was an ant that could be killed at will.
She was actually frightened by such a look. After living two lives, was she now afraid of such a trashy woman in the house?
Miss Shen and her servant accompanied Shen Wen to Madam Liu's courtyard.
Chu Yanqiu, who was originally sleeping soundly in his room, suddenly sat up straight from the bed.
At this time, Chihe came in to report something.
Before he came in, he knew that his master was asleep, and he just came in to confirm, thinking that if the master was awake, it would be bad if he missed the opportunity to do the thing he asked him to keep an eye on.
Chi He saw his own master sitting straight on the bed with his eyes open in a daze.
This was the first time Chi He saw the young master like this, so he called Chu Yanqiu a few times, but found that Chu Yanqiu did not respond at all.
Chi He panicked immediately, but his movement to reach out and touch his young master stopped in mid-air.
What if it's sleepwalking?
I heard that sleepwalkers should not be awakened by force, as this may turn them into fools.
Chi He had no choice but to stand by and endure it, watching his young master wake up naturally.
After waiting for a long time, the young master finally moved, but he got out of bed quickly and ran out barefoot, but was stopped by Chihe.
Chihe put his shoes on himself, and kept asking about his concern for the young master. He also asked, "Young master, did you have a nightmare just now? I saw you sitting on the bed in a daze. I called you several times, but you didn't respond."
Chu Yanqiu ignored him and hurried out again.
