Chapter 322 Abuse of Jiang Yu
Chapter 322 Abuse of Jiang Yu
Even if Shen Nanzhi did nothing, her mere presence in the capital city would cause flaws in the carefully formulated plan of Master Ning Wu, and would make these people panic-stricken, unable to eat or sleep well.
Lin was distracted, which made Yang Lingzhao feel distressed. "What are you worried about? Is it because of Mr. Shen?"
Lin Xueqing said: "You don't understand anything. That Mr. Shen has unknown origins. He is coming for us. He will destroy everything I have. How can I not be worried?"
"Does he have that ability? You are the real Shen family member. Why don't you reveal your identity? He will definitely flee. No liar would dare to continue to cheat after seeing the real owner."
Lin Xueqing opened her mouth, but had nothing to say. If it was true, it would be fine, but she was fake. The real owner was that person, and she was the one who lied.
Yang Lingzhao knew nothing, and ignorance was actually a bliss.
Shen Nanzhi was waiting for them to make a move. As long as they dared to make a move, there would be a flaw, and that would be the time to destroy them.
She is in no hurry.
But Lin Xueqing was anxious. After thinking for a few days, her eyes fell on Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu was frightened and her face turned pale. "Madam, what do you want to do?"
Lin Xueqing showed a gentle smile, but it made Jiang Yu even more panicked and uneasy. Her smile was so scary, she must be thinking of something bad.
"Xiaoyu, do you miss your mother?"
Jiang Yu had a complicated expression: "You mean Shen? She doesn't want us anymore, let's not talk about her."
"Yes, she doesn't want you anymore because you weren't well behaved and you hurt her feelings, but people are all made of flesh and blood. I don't believe she really doesn't care at all."
At this point, Lin Xueqing's eyes flashed fiercely, and Jiang Yu trembled all over, "Third Young Madam, please let me go, I will serve you well, I will study hard, grow up as soon as possible, and definitely help you do things..."
"You can help me right now. You don't need to grow up. Don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame her for showing up here and ruining my plan. If you want to hate someone, just hate her."
……
Shen Nanzhi didn't have to wait too long before meeting an acquaintance on the way back.
Mrs. Liu was whipping Jiang Yu. It was a cold day and she was only wearing thin clothes. She was covered in blood from the beatings and was trembling all over. She was cold and in pain. She was crying but her tears were frozen on her face. She looked extremely pitiful.
Shen Nanzhi stopped and looked at the scene indifferently.
Ding Xiangrong felt sorry for the situation and said, "This prefect's family is really evil. It's too much to mistreat a child like this."
Mrs. Liu was waiting for them to speak, and said, "This child is so young and has not learned her lesson. She stole food and even stole the master's jewelry. If she continues like this, it will be disastrous. If she is not punished, she will not learn her lesson and will be laughed at by the guests. I will take her away and punish her now so that she will not be an eyesore to the distinguished guests."
Jiang Yu looked up and saw Shen Nanzhi. She was dazed for a moment and didn't dare to recognize her. Is this her ugly and fat mother?
The reason why he didn't want to acknowledge her at first was that he thought it was too embarrassing to have such an ugly woman as his mother. She was also laughed at by the children in the village. After all, Jiang Yu was young, so he wanted to get rid of her and not continue to be laughed at.
But only after leaving A Niang did she realize who was the person who truly treated her well.
Hope rose in Jiang Yu's heart, and he ran over and knelt down to beg for mercy: "Master, please save me, I didn't eat or steal anything, I just want to live.
I did something wrong before and I deserve to be punished, but I don’t want to die, please save me, sir.”
Mrs. Liu stopped taking any action and waited for Shen Nanzhi to feel compassion and keep the man by her side, then her job would be done.
Shen Nanzhi raised her hand, asked Ding Xiangrong to take off his cloak, and put it on her. "It's pitiful that such a tragedy of child abuse happened in the prefect's house. I can't just ignore it when I see it. Don't worry, I will take you to see the prefect's wife and I won't let you die."
Jiang Yu raised her eyes, wanting to continue being Shen Nanzhi's child, but looking at her delicate face and noble temperament, she suddenly felt that she was not worthy.
If she could get rid of Lin, it would be a good thing for her. She nodded and said, "Thank you, sir."
Since A-niang treated her as a stranger, Jiang Yu would not reveal her identity. If Lin had not told her, she would not have recognized that this was her former A-niang.
Since they were no longer destined to be mother and daughter, Jiang Yu did not force it. She only hoped to survive and grow up.
Mrs. Liu was anxious, "Mr. Shen, why do you want to alarm the Madam over such a small matter?"
"A small matter? You mean you are such a cunning slave? Do you really think that I can fool you? It's okay if we don't go to Madam Yang. Let's take this child to the street and let the people of the whole city judge what happened. What did this child do that angered the heaven and the people to deserve your abuse? In the middle of winter, do you want to kill her?"
The prefect should love his people like his own children, but he is so cruel to his own servants. Can you expect him to be kind to the people?"
Mrs. Liu was terrified. "No, it's all my fault. I've apologized to you, you can punish me however you want. Please don't alarm others."
"Humph, you are a servant of the Yang family. I will not interfere in your affairs. The best way to deal with this is to find Madam Yang."
She would not bother with an old slave, but gave her face.
Shen Nanzhi asked Ding Xiangrong to hold Jiang Yu and went straight to Madam Yang's yard. Mrs. Liu panicked and hurried to find Lin for help. If she made trouble in front of the lady, she would be in trouble.
Lin panicked, "She is more likely to cause trouble than to help. Can't you stop her? How can you interfere in other people's family affairs? This bitch always comes to harm me."
No matter what, she had to stop it. However, when she arrived at Madam Yang's room, Madam Yang had already heard the whole story. Jiang Yu was only six years old, and the injuries on his body were shocking. Madam Yang was immediately angry: "My Yang family is a family of good deeds, but there is such an evil slave. Go find that woman, I want to see who is so bold."
Shen Nanzhi held the teacup and drank tea, and did not interfere with Madam Yang's discipline of the servants. If they dared to do so, they would have to pay the price.
Lin Xueqing came in hurriedly, accompanied by Granny Liu, and said, "Mother, I just heard about this matter. It was the maid in my yard who was a little too harsh in disciplining the servants. Mother, calm down. I will go back and discipline them properly."
Seeing that it was Lin Xueqing, Madam Yang could no longer suppress her anger, "Lin, it's you again? My Yang family is so unlucky to marry someone like you.
How could you have the heart to kill such a young child? I originally thought you were a bit scheming and good at seducing men, but I didn't expect you to be so cruel. A woman like you will never stay in my Yang family."
Lin Xueqing was anxious: "Mother, you can't do this to me. My husband and I are in love with each other, why do you have to break us up?
You just can't stand our relationship, you're just a wicked mother-in-law, no wonder father doesn't like you."
"You, you are so insolent. Someone, go get the third brother. It's either you or me in this house today."
Shen Nanzhi raised her eyebrows. Oh my, Lin Xueqing was so brave that she even dared to openly contradict her mother-in-law. She admired her.
Madam Yang was so angry that her blood boiled and she was about to faint. Shen Nanzhi exclaimed, "Oh, Madam Yang, why did you faint? Are you angry at this unfilial and vicious daughter-in-law? Hurry up and call a doctor. If you make Madam angry, this unfilial daughter-in-law will be guilty of a serious crime."
"you shut up."
Lin Xueqing wanted to scratch her to death. Why did she always pick on him?
Mrs. Yang was not stupid either. She fainted directly, and the room was in chaos.
Shen Nanzhi just dug the hole, and pulled Jiang Yu to find a corner to sit cross-legged. Some snacks and tea came out of his hand at some point. There was a stove next to them, so Jiang Yu could warm himself up by the fire.
"Have some snacks and watch the show slowly."
"Thank you."
Jiang Yu wolfed down the food, it seemed that she was starving. After drinking a cup of tea, tears rolled down her cheeks. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have disliked you before. I was wrong. Thank you for saving me. I thought I would die."
Shen Nanzhi sighed. She didn't like the betrayal of these ungrateful kids, but people are made of flesh and blood. Seeing her being tortured so miserably, she couldn't bear it.
Don't talk about being too virtuous and showing blind sympathy. Nothing in the world is absolute. Jiang Yu and the others were wrong, but they are children after all, and their crime does not deserve the death penalty.
"Okay, stop crying. Tell me about Lin. Why did she marry Mr. Yang San?"
Since Jiang Yu serves Lin Xueqing, she must know a lot of things. If she still refuses to tell the truth, Shen Nanzhi will not care about her anymore.
Jiang Yu was really cunning, and immediately told everything he knew: "Master Ning Wu said that she was the illegitimate daughter of some important figure in the capital, and Master Yang believed it. He thought that if he married her, he could become a high-ranking official in the capital. In addition, Lin made him happy, so Master Yang listened to her very much."
"The illegitimate daughter of a big shot? That's not right. I remember that Lin was raised in the village since she was a child. Her family had no chance to meet big shots. Yang Lingzhao believed it?"
That's too stupid, being fooled.
"It seems that Lin has some token of trust. Young Master Yang also sent someone to write a letter to the capital. It seems that there is such a person."
"A token of loyalty? That makes sense. Do you know which big family it belongs to?"
"Sister Shen, I really don't know. I overheard other people talking about these things. They were very careful when they said these things."
She couldn't call her mother, nor was she qualified to do so, but calling her sister would make it less awkward for both of them.
"What are your plans for the future?"
Jiang Yu remained silent: "I don't know, I just hope I can have enough food and clothes and grow up well."
Shen Nanzhi: "Now there is an opportunity. Ask Madam Yang to take you in as a maid and sell you to her. Whether it is for the sake of face or because she is really kind, Madam Yang will not abuse you."
But she will have to sell herself into slavery in the future, and she will have to walk her future on her own.
"I am willing. I am also a slave if I stay with Lin. She is still trying to abuse me. I really want to die..."
Shen Nanzhi did not comfort her. After this incident, it would be a good thing if she could really change her ways, so that she would not grow up to be a bad person.
This child is an orphan, so she should learn to be strong. She can only rely on herself in the future. Helping her stay with Madam Yang is the only way Shen Nanzhi can help her.
