Warm Life - C257
Tang Shulan gripped Lady Tang’s hand, tears glistening in her eyes. She turned her head to look at Sun Ye Xuan and said, “Thank you.”
“Go get the medicine, I’ll take care of her.” Sun Ye Xuan said, “If you’re worried, I’ll go get the medicine. It’s the same if you take care of her.”
“NO!” “You know medicine, so I’ll have to trouble you to take care of my mother.” Tang Shulan shook her head. “I’ll go get the medicine. I’ll be back soon.”
Sun Ye Xuan stayed in her room, looking at the broken house, as well as the leftovers on the table. She couldn’t help but sigh. If Sun Lingyu knew that Tang Shulan was living this kind of life, what would his mood be?
After being away for so long, did he still like her? Emotion was the longest thing, and also the shortest thing. How long a person’s emotions last depends on their heart. Before Sun Lingyu left, he liked Tang Shulan. The current him was no longer the him of the past, so how could he still like Tang Shulan now? She didn’t know that. So she couldn’t promise him anything. Right now, he could only treat Tang Shulan as a friend.
Not long after, Tang Shulan returned with the medicine bag. Madame Tang’s injuries were very stable. Seeing that her condition had not worsened, Tang Shulan was at ease and concocted the medicine. After she made the medicine, she would feed it to Madame Tang. Sun Ye Xuan helped from the side. Since Madame Tang was injured like this, she had to treat her wounds. So they had to take off her clothes and rub her little by little.
“We can’t stay here anymore. Come to my house! ” Sun Ye Xuan said softly.
Tang Shulan paused for a moment as she applied the medicine. She was currently in a very sorry state. Her appearance was haggard and haggard, and she had long since lost her former beauty. He wished he could find a place to hide. If it wasn’t for the fact that her mother was heavily injured, she wouldn’t even want to see the Sun family. She felt ashamed of herself. Sun Ye Xuan’s words made her heart sour. These days, she regretted her decision.
“We’re fine here.” Tang Shulan shook her head.
“Is that good? Eat Every Day… Forget it! I don’t want to talk about you. Your mother is heavily injured right now. What if no one protects her and they come looking for trouble with you? Can your mother bear the torment? We are all human children, and we know that. If something were to happen to your mother, you wouldn’t be able to rest in peace for the rest of your life. Listen to me, and go to my house first. When this is over, you can go anywhere you want. Our house is not a cage, we won’t lock you up. ” Sun Ye Xuan said angrily.
“This …” When Tang Shulan heard Sun Ye Xuan’s words, she felt even worse. She knew that Sun Ye Xuan was thinking for her sake, but her heart was in a mess.
She sat at the foot of the bed and looked at Madame Tang. There was a mouse crawling around the bed, making Tang Shulan’s heart hurt even more. Gritting her teeth, she nodded and said, “I promise you! “Thank you, Xuanxuan.”
“We’re good sisters, what’s there to thank?” Sun Ye Xuan smiled and said: “Pack this up.” I’m here to take care of your mother. ”
“There’s nothing to clean up. All the valuable items had long since been taken away. There is still unfinished needlework, and a few rags for the two of us. ” The more Tang Shulan said, the more wronged she became. In the past, she wasn’t a lady, but she was still a jade from a small family. Now that he had turned into this ghastly appearance, it was simply too embarrassing. Fortunately, Sun Lingyu wasn’t here, otherwise she would have really wanted to die.
Tang Shulan packed up her things. Sun Ye Xuan called the carriage over and together with Tang Shulan helped Madam Tang up the carriage. At this moment, over a dozen people rushed out, blocking their path.
“What do you want to do?” Tang Shulan looked at them in fear. Don’t act recklessly! My mother was beaten to death by you. What else do we want? ”
“We don’t want anything to happen. As long as you pay the silver, we will leave immediately. Is this your friend? She looked really elegant. If you can’t afford the silver, give her to us. She’s much more valuable than you. ” A middle-aged man with a face full of scars greedily said as he looked at Sun Ye Xuan.
“You dare!” Tang Shulan was on the verge of tears. She stood in front of Sun Ye Xuan and said: “She is… His sister. If you dare to go against her, aren’t you afraid of the authorities pursuing the matter? ”
“The sister of the top scholar? Could it be the one with the most limelight recently? How is this possible? How can a poor girl like you have the qualifications to make such noble friends? ” Another person said coldly.
Sun Ye Xuan walked out from behind Tang Shulan, and lightly looked at them and said, “It doesn’t matter who I am. How much money does my sister owe you? ”
“What is it? Were they really going to stand up for her? You look like you’re rich. “She doesn’t owe me much. Five hundred silver taels.” The knife-scarred man chuckled.
“Five hundred silver?” Why don’t you just rob them? Last time you told us, he owed us a hundred silver. We have exactly fifty silver taels on hand, so we still owe you fifty. These days, we are thrifty. Almost twenty taels. “Only thirty silver coins are left now, right?” Tang Shulan said angrily.
“Thirty silver taels?” Sun Ye Xuan did not understand. If it was only thirty silver taels, he wouldn’t have to be forced into this state right?
“That’s right!” They said that the relative had borrowed a hundred taels of silver. We didn’t even see his people, yet he forced us to pay our debts. What kind of logic was that? We thought about reporting it. However, these people were lawless, and there were people in the imperial court. Mingyue Gelou’s shopkeeper is so kind, he wouldn’t dare to offend them. ” Tang Shulan said angrily.
“To turn thirty silver into five hundred silver, do you think I’m easy to bully?” Sun Ye Xuan coldly looked at the crowd. What if we don’t? What do you want? ”
“We won’t do anything.” The knife-scarred man said, “The little girl knew that there was someone on top of us, so she obediently obeyed. Honestly, so what if you’re the top scholar’s sister? Even if it’s the top scholar himself, we still dare to touch him. What ability did a small top scholar have? The people on top of us can’t be moved by the top scholar. ”
Sun Ye Xuan looked at these people with ridicule. No matter who their master was, they felt sorry for him. It was more than enough to fail in the face of such a servant.
Just now, Sun Ye Xuan thought it was strange. Why was Manager Mingyue so kind to not borrow thirty taels of silver to help Tang Shulan pay her debts? From the looks of it, that person probably didn’t even dare to provoke the Sun family! The shopkeeper knew their interests, so he didn’t dare to disturb Meng Xiaoxiao with such a small matter. Thus, there was nothing else to do.
“All of you must have taken a fancy to my sister.” Sun Ye Xuan looked at Tang Shulan and said, “Do you think that using this method to steal a commoner’s daughter is all right? I can sue you just the same. ”
“You can sue me. I’ll be waiting for you to sue me.” The knife-scarred man bared his teeth and said: “The more the beauty struggles, the more I like her. What’s the point of those who are too meek? ”
Sun Ye Xuan quietly asked Tang Shulan, and said, “Who exactly is their backer? “How can you be so lawless.”
“I heard it was from the palace. With their overbearing attitude, they must be especially favored. It is precisely because of this that many of the nobles in the capital do not dare to offend them. ” Tang Shulan said bitterly.
Sun Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then glanced at Lady Tang in the car. She took out a silver note and said, “I only have fifty taels. For the remaining four hundred and fifty silver, you can come to the Sun Mansion another day to get it. Who would bring a few hundred taels of silver to shop? I don’t have that hobby anyway. “
