The Survival Path of a Vicious Female Partner - Chapter 216
Although Chu Li said that most of his injuries were healed, the parts of his wrists and ankles would suffer pain in his heart as long as the weather was cold. He was in the north, and just as winter was about to begin, the wind was biting.
“Treasurer Liu, have you arranged the food and grass matter?”
Knowing that there is insufficient food and grass in Shacheng, she is there, how can she make her hungry? The first thing he did when he left Shacheng was to mobilize all the power of Juezi to transport the food and grass to Shacheng.
“Si Ye, everything has been arranged, but won’t the Fourth Master go in person this time?”
“not going.”
Shopkeeper Liu wanted to say something and stopped. Finally, he shook his head and walked out of Chu Li’s room. They saw the Si Ye’s affection for the girl, but no one thought that the girl was actually Lu Manman, Miss Lu. She was married to King Great King Baitang five years ago, and even the young master is also King King Great’s child.
Originally, I looked at the four masters, the girl and the young master, how happy they were, but now there is only the fourth master alone, which is very pitiful.
Moreover, the fourth master’s hands and feet were abandoned because of Miss Lu. His body is better than ordinary people now. Once the weather is cold, the injuries of the hands and feet will be painful.
He looked out the window, that was the direction of Shacheng and the direction he was about to leave.
He wanted to see her, but he was afraid to see her sad and guilty.
He didn’t want to embarrass her, he had already decided after he opened his eyes and saw her.
In this life, even if he can’t get her heart, he will always follow behind her and be the shadow that protects her and loves her. But now she found the light that belonged to her, and that light shot at her all around, leaving her world without a shadow.
Goodbye, Lu Manman.
Although there are not many memories in my life, most of them are dark and damp, but you are the only light in my life. As long as you are still dazzling in this world, I am happy.
Snow fell in the sky, in patches, like goose feathers.
He was wearing a white fox fur coat and standing in the snow.
Xiao Qi walked beside him, “Si Ye, it’s snowing, let’s go back to the house!”
In the snow not far away, there was a small body curled up in the snow. He opened his mouth and said, “Xiao Qi, take a look, what’s that?”
Xiao Qi ran over, it didn’t matter whether he looked at it, she was startled at first, “Si Ye, it turned out to be a girl, but it seems to be frozen.”
“Hold her back to the house warmly.”
“Yes.”
Because she was so thin and part of her body was buried in the snow, he thought she was just a girl at first, but when Xiao Qi wiped the snow away from her, she discovered that she was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman.
It was early winter, and she was wearing a single coat, and there were scars on the exposed skin.
“Four Lord, she seems to be injured.”
“Please doctor.”
After he said, he went back to the house.
Xiao Qi hugged her back into the house, set a fire in the house, and asked the maid to wipe her body and put medicine on her. After she slept for three or four hours, she woke up. When she woke up, there was no one in the house, there was a fire in the house, and it was not cold. She got out of bed and watched everything here very guardedly. When she heard the footsteps outside the door, she swiftly hid in figure. Behind the door.
Chu Li stood at the door, looking at the empty bed, and then looking at the position behind the door, he said lightly: “Since you are awake, you can leave by yourself.”
The woman behind the door hesitated for a moment, and then came out from behind the door, with her bare feet, and then pulled the short skirt, trying to cover her feet.
He watched this scene and remembered that she was the same when he first met Lu Manman.
“Much…thank you, son, for saving…”
The voice is very nice, but the appearance is careful to make people pity, she is like a frightened little beast, any wind and grass can make her scared.
He didn’t say anything, but turned and walked outside the house.
Regardless of the cold, she chased him, “My son, please take me in.”
“Our pharmacy has no shortage of people.”
“Even if… even if there is no shortage of people, please ask the son to be a good person to the end.” The more she said, the lower her voice, she still has shame, he just saved her, she must rely on him, but she really did not Method.
“Little Qi, go to the storeroom and get twenty taels of silver for this girl.”
The woman was stunned for a moment, and then stepped away. She whispered: “No need, trouble.”
She walked toward the snow, because she didn’t wear shoes, leaving her footprints in the snow.
Xiao Qi looked at her thin body, and said, “Si Ye, that little girl is very poor, it is better to keep her and let her serve Si Ye by his side.”
“Little Qi, there are not many people I can trust. She appears inexplicably and is not safe.”
If something happens to him, she will be sad, so he wants to avoid this.
“But……”
“Send someone to follow her and give her a dress and silver.”
“Yes, Fourth Master.”
Xiao Qi went to do it. In fact, the Fourth Master was not only a human being, but the identity of the Fourth Master really couldn’t be revealed. Within a few days, they had already changed several places. People in the imperial court are now even more rigorously searched, and if the Fourth Master is discovered, it would be bad.
Xiao Qi took a pair of shoes and a cotton coat, and he chased after him, “Girl, girl, wait.”
The woman stopped. She turned her head and looked at the shoes and cotton-padded clothes in Xiao Qi’s hands. Xiao Qi said: “Girl, Si Ye asked me to send these to you. The girl should put it on before leaving!”
She looked at him wearing a white fox fur. She took the shoes and the cotton coat and whispered, “Brother, please tell that son, these two things, even if I borrow them from him, wait until I have the silver. , Will come to pay him back.”
“Girl, you don’t need to change it. Maybe Fourth Master will leave here someday, there is still a little bit of money here, and the girl will accept it.”
Xiao Qi put the silver in her hand, her eyes were moistened, and she was about to cry.
“Please tell my son. I will definitely report the kindness of the son. My name is Qingru. I wonder if the young woman knows the name of the son?”
“We all call him Fourth Master, if you have fate in the future, you can also call him Fourth Master.”
The woman nodded and went out with those things. She was ashamed and left without looking back.
His people have been ten meters behind the woman to ensure her safety. They saw the woman walking to a small courtyard and hesitated to go in.
After a while, a woman was splashed out with a basin of water.
The woman was afraid of getting her clothes wet, so she quickly avoided.
The woman wanted to curse, but when she saw the clothes on the woman, her eyes flashed, “This material looks good, where did you go to steal it?”
The woman was very afraid of this woman, “I…I didn’t steal it…”
“It’s not a steal. Could it be that you bought it? How many taels of meat are on you, I don’t know? If you don’t pull this dress off and put it on your sister, I will kill you as an idiot.”
As the woman said, she took up the wooden stick in her hand and hit the woman. The woman is scared, she knows to escape, and the woman will only beat her harder. She closed her eyes, but the stick did not fall on her.
She opened her eyes slightly, and he stood beside her, holding the stick in his hand.
As soon as the woman saw his clothes, she immediately smiled, “Master, but this cheap hoof stole your clothes?”
He glanced at the woman, then said coldly, “Who are you to her?”
When the woman saw her, the well-dressed young man actually helped her, which probably means that the master has taken a fancy to her.
“Master, I am her mother.”
“Since it is her mother, why did she wear only a single coat in the ice and snow, and why her body is all wounded.”
“This…this…” The woman blushed with suffocation, and then added: “Stepmother.”
“It happens that there is a maid in my house who wants to buy her.”
When the word “buy” was heard, the woman’s eyes lighted up, “Master, talk in the house.”
The woman made a gesture of inviting, Chu Li hesitated, and still walked into the room. After she left, he was still uneasy, so he followed and saw this scene unexpectedly.
There is not much furniture in the house, but there is a girl who is about the same age as Qingru. Although her clothes are a little white, she is indeed wearing a cotton coat. This must be Qingru’s younger sister.
As soon as the woman entered the room, she called the girl, “Qingshuang, there is a visitor at home, you are about to pour tea.”
When Qing Shuang saw that it was a slender young man wearing a fox fur, he blushed all of a sudden, came forward to pour the tea, she put the tea in front of him with both hands, and said softly: “My son, please Drink tea.”
He looked at the cup of tea, and didn’t mean to pick it up, “I don’t want to leave the extra cutscenes, so I just make a price.”
The woman was taken aback again. Even if the biggest family here sells a maid, she would have to ask about the price. The son actually asked her to make a direct price. It seems that she really met a noble person today. She asked her daughter to work as a maid at a wealthy house, and let Qingru do housework at home. She wanted her daughter to be favored by the nobles, so as to bring wealth to the family. I am afraid that the nobles in this house today will be counted. They are the most expensive person here.
However, because of the long-term meaning of climbing dragons and forming phoenixes, the woman knows all the wealthy people here, and this young man does not seem to be a local.
The woman smiled and said: “Lord, you see my big girl is stupid and can’t do anything well. It’s better to buy the second girl. The second girl has been a maid at a wealthy family since she was 13 years old. She knows everything very well.”
Chu Li didn’t answer, Xiao Qi was a little displeased after listening, he thought, really was a stepmother.
“My fourth master buys whoever wants to buy it. If you don’t buy it, there are girls on the street who want to be the fourth master’s maid and serve the fourth master.”
The woman hadn’t given up yet, she said again: “Lord, my second daughter is even younger. I never let her do heavy work since I was a child. She has delicate skin and good figure.”
When Qingru heard these words, she hid her hands behind her back. Her wrists were all bruises beaten by the woman. Because there was no cotton-padded clothes in the winter, her fingers were swollen and frozen, which was extremely ugly.
Xiao Qi said: “Why are you woman so nonsense? The Fourth Master said which one you want, which one you want.” After he finished speaking, a bag of silver was placed on the table, “Sell or not?”
The woman stared at the silver on the table, and if she couldn’t bear to sell it, then she was really kicked by the donkey. After selling her anyway, Qingshuang also had a chance to see this master.
The woman said quickly: “Sell, sell.”
“Well, from now on, this young girl is Fourth Master’s person. If you dare to entangle you, Fourth Master will definitely not let you go.”
“Yes Yes.”
The woman was courteous to send each other, refreshing and very unhappy, she was so much better than Qingru, why was it not her who was bought.
After leaving the yard and walking a little bit, Chu Li stopped. When he stopped, she didn’t dare to go anymore, but silently followed behind him, looking down at the snow on the ground.
Chu Li asked, “Little Qi, do you have money left?”
“No, it’s all for the woman.”
“In that case, when you arrive at the drugstore later, you will take a hundred silver cars for this girl.”
Qingru bit her lip, and she asked, “My son, why are you?”
“I don’t need a maid. When I lend you a hundred taels of silver, you will pay me back when you have the silver.” He knew that although she was poor, she had her own self-esteem, otherwise she would not refuse the first twenty taels. silver.
“But… but… the son has bought me, and I am the son of the son.”
“There is no one who is who, I just exchanged silver for your freedom.”
He entered the Yaozhuang, Qingru stood at the door of the Yaozhuang, and the snow was getting bigger and bigger, but she did not leave.
Her mother died in childbirth when she gave birth, and less than a month later, he married this stepmother again. The stepmother was acrimonious and never treated her badly. Dad is a drunkard and only knows about drinking. . She doesn’t understand words, and has been doing farm work to help her family since she was very young. She likes studying very much, so when she comes out to do things, she often lies behind the bed in the college and listens to her husband’s lectures. This time, she was too eager to listen to her husband’s lecture, so she forgot what the stepmother had ordered. The stepmother was very angry. After beating her, she let her stand in the snow in a single coat.
She is very scared, if she doesn’t do it, she will get a more vicious fight.
In that home, no one would help her.
When she was standing in the snow today, she saw a man wearing a fox fur. He was standing in the snow with another little brother standing beside him. He looked into the distance as if he was lonely.
She kept watching. She had never seen such a good-looking person, and had never seen a rich man like him lonely.
She was curious, so she kept watching.
On this day, she didn’t feel cold, just looking at him, her little heart was pounding, which was something she had never felt before.
Later, she fell into the snow. She was still a little conscious at that time. She heard him order her to take her into the house.
In the house, she felt warmth, the kind of warmth from the body to the heart.
Someone wiped her body with warm water, and she fell asleep groggy.
As soon as she woke up, she saw a completely unfamiliar environment, and she was a little scared. When she heard a sound, she hid behind the door, but he found her. He not only saved her, but also gave her twenty taels. silver.
Although she is poor, her husband said that a gentleman loves money and gets it right. She refused the silver, but she really wanted to stay with him. Because once, she heard the stepmother and father discussing, when she was eighteen years old, she didn’t have a decent marriage, so she sold her.
As for where to sell, the stepmother said that selling it in a kiln is more expensive than buying it in a large family. Dad didn’t agree immediately, he said he would think about it.
She is not without decent marriages. Since she was fifteen years old, matchmakers have been coming to her door to talk to each other constantly, but because the stepmother and father lion opened their mouths, they demanded fifty-two beauties. For wealthy families, fifty taels are rare, but for families like them, fifty taels are already a huge sum of money. So no one is willing to come to propose marriage anymore.
But she doesn’t like them, she likes people who can understand words and are educated. Just like someone like him.
She has been standing at the door of the drugstore, motionless or speaking.
Xiao Qi could not bear to look at him, he took an umbrella to cover the snow for her, “Girl, go away! He won’t change things that the Fourth Master decides easily. Besides, I have never seen Four There is a maid beside him who is waiting for him. He likes to do everything by himself, and he is not used to being served by others.”
Her teeth trembled, “I can eat any suffering and suffer any sin. I only ask Fourth Master not to drive me away.”
Xiao Qiyi looked embarrassed, “Girl, why are you doing this? If you continue to stand like this, if the snow gets into your shoes and frostbites your feet, it would be terrible.”
“I…I don’t want to go back…”
“Girl, the fourth master doesn’t want to take you, and he has his own difficulties.” Xiao Qi said here, he remembered the face of the woman just now, “Girl, are you afraid of something?”
“me……”
He understood that she was afraid of the family. But he didn’t dare to disobey Si Ye, Xiao Qi stood in the snow, very embarrassed.
Standing on the second floor, Chu Li opened the window a small part and looked at her.
She obviously looks so weak, but she is so strong, she really resembles her. Seeing her like this, she felt a little unbearable in her heart.
At this time, the woman came with Qingshuang. Qingshuang changed her dress. This dress was newer than the one she had just worn. She combed her hair in a bun again, and left two hairpins. On top.
When the woman saw Qing Ru standing in the snow, she asked kindly: “My little master, did she make any mistakes? If she made mistakes, be sure to be polite, this girl is stupid. She has always made mistakes since she was a child, and she can only remember it by hitting her a few boards. Her elm head is not as smart as Qingshuang.”
Xiao Qi frowned. The Fourth Master didn’t speak, and he didn’t dare to make any claims. He called her in, only replied, “She didn’t make a mistake.”
The woman said again: “You can grind her temper without making a mistake. This girl has grown used to being tricky.”
The woman showed him the basket in her hand and said, “Little master, Qingshuang specially made this for that master. Please also ask the little master to send it to that master.”
The woman opened the broken steps of the blue background and white flowers, and there was a freshly cooked roast chicken in between. This roasted chicken might be the best food for a family like them, but Si Ye didn’t like to eat these greasy things.
He was about to refuse, and Chu Li’s voice came from inside the house, “Little Qi, Qingru Girl’s stepmother and younger sister are here, why not invite them in?”
He froze for a moment, and then said: “Please!”
Since the Fourth Master allowed Qingshuang and the woman to enter, it must have allowed Qingru to enter, and he said to Qingru again: “It’s cold outside, come in too!”
