You...forget it, you better say it first. This incident was purely accidental. I wonder what you think? "
Liu Mingzhi looked at Yun Qingshi, who was standing aside with a reserved expression, neither beating nor scolding her. Logically speaking, she was the real victim. She had to commit herself to becoming a concubine under the strong pressure of Song Yu and the others. Identity, emotional and rational reasons are that the three of them lost their moral character after drinking and could not interfere with the girl's family's affairs.
Liu Mingzhi scratched his head helplessly. He felt as regretful as if he had eaten arsenic. Why did he listen to Song Yu's advice and drink such a celebratory wine? Otherwise, this matter would not have happened.
Yun Qingshi sat on the stone bench and mingled his hands together: "I am not very lucky. I have been wandering around like a rootless duckweed since I was a child. I finally found a kind-hearted person to take me in. In the end, I was forced to sell myself to a brothel. I live on my last breath and live in panic, but my husband takes pity on me and does not abandon my humble body and takes her as my concubine. Everything about my body is subject to my husband's arrangements."
"Stop, stop, stop, I'm not asking you to complain here. I just want to know what you want to do about this matter. Let me explain to you in advance that I have a family and there is no way I can take you as my concubine. This matter is non-negotiable.”
Yun Qingshi's face was pale and she looked at Liu Mingzhi in fear: "If your husband is not willing to take me as your concubine, why should you worship me in public? Although my status is low and I am not as noble as your husband, if you If you have no intention of taking concubines, why should you humiliate Qing Shi?"
Liu Mingzhi sighed and stood up, wandering around: "This is simply a misunderstanding. Last night I drank so much that I became unconscious. My behavior relied entirely on my body's instincts and I had no consciousness at all. Otherwise, how could I agree to uncle's ridiculous request?" .”
Yun Qingshi bit her lips tightly and panicked: "What do you mean, husband? Could it be that you are planning to give me to someone else?"
The panic in Yun Qing's poem is self-evident. At best, the concubine is a concubine in a room, but at worst, she is just a man's plaything. If she is favored, she may be able to live without worries about food and clothing. On the contrary, compared to an ordinary maid Not much better.
Moreover, there is a special hobby among the powerful. They like to exchange each other's concubines. If a concubine with a good life is replaced by one or two men, it is considered a blessing in misfortune. A concubine with a poor life may change hands. The master who has been changed seven or eight times, some of the rich and powerful have more perverted habits, and the life of the concubine is also extremely miserable, not even comparable to that of ordinary servants.
When Yun Qingshi saw that Liu Mingzhi's expression showed no sign of pity for him at all, he couldn't help but think of this possibility in his heart. The more he thought about it, the more timid he became, and his delicate body could not help but tremble slightly.
Dan's lips were bitten by his teeth and there were blood stains on his lips without even noticing.
The maid Chun'er on the side looked at Liu Mingzhi who was wandering around in confusion and confusion, and looked at her young lady worriedly. Could it be that the young lady was still innocent and would become a plaything among these powerful men?
Chun'er couldn't help crying in her absence.
Liu Mingzhi glanced at Chuner distractedly: "Don't cry."
Chun'er trembled with fright, quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, and looked at Liu Mingzhi with a cold expression in fear.
Liu Mingzhi took out a deed of betrayal from his arms and slapped it on the table: "This is your deed of betrayal. Take it and fly away, never show up in the capital again."
Yun Qingshi stared blankly at the prostitution contract on the table and said, "Husband, I and Chun'er are not diligent in their limbs, and they cannot distinguish between grains. Since childhood, they have only learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting. After leaving the capital, they can only survive." starved to death on the streets.”
"Then I have nothing to do with it. I have done my best to redeem your lives. As for how you survive, it is not my concern."
"Since my husband doesn't like me, why did he take me out of Tianxiang Tower?"
"Miss Yun, how many times do you want my young master to tell me, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, do you understand? If you are making trouble about this matter, I will divorce you with a divorce letter."
"Concubinehood is not against the rules of women. If your husband divorces me, even though I am of low status, I am not a despicable person. You can only clear your mind by dying."
"Threatening me? The young master is not afraid of threats from others. Even the King of Jin...Forget it, I just want you to know that not everyone can threaten this young master. If you really dare to die today to make your ambition clear, young master I will set up a monument for you and inscribe my identity as the wife of the Liu family, and give you a way to survive. You don’t cherish it, but you dare to threaten..."
There was a soft bang, and Liu Mingzhi watched blankly as Yun Qingshi's body slid down weakly from the pillars of the pavilion, and collapsed on the ground. A stream of bright red blood flowed down the pillars, and Yun Qingshi's forehead was covered with blood. There was a large stain of blood on the spot, covering half of the stone slab.
Chun'er was lost for a moment and immediately threw herself to the ground, hugged Yun Qingshi in her arms and cried: "Miss."
Liu Mingzhi looked blankly at Yun Qingshi, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead: "You are just a brothel girl, why are you so strong?"
"Miss, don't scare Chun'er, wake up quickly, miss... Wuwu... Wuwu... Wu..."
"Liu Si."
Liu Si landed in the pavilion from nowhere and said: "Brother Liu Ye, Liu Si, pay my respects to the young master."
Liu Mingzhi pointed to Yun Qingshi lying in Chun'er's arms: "Let's see if she is dead or alive?"
Liu Si didn't hesitate when he heard the words, and directly lifted Yun Qingshi's wrist. After a while, Liu Si shook his head in a low voice: "Young Master, even if you still have one breath left, your life will not be long."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Yun Qingshi lying there with a complicated expression, and a sense of self-blame rose from the bottom of his heart. If he hadn't been greedy, Yun Qingshi would not have died so early even if he was trapped in a brothel.
My child, there is no fairness in the world. Being a good person will only harm others and yourself. The old man's words could not help but come to mind. Liu Mingzhi gritted his teeth and said, "Let's give him a good burial."
"yes."
Chun'er stopped in front of Liu Si with a tearful expression: "Don't touch my young lady. Chun'er thought that the young lady found a good family, but she didn't expect to meet such a ruthless villain like you. Not only did she humiliate my young lady's reputation, , and actually caused my young lady’s soul to sink into the underworld, Chun’er cursed you to have a good death, God will accept you sooner or later for such heartless people like you.”
Liu Mingzhi firmly grasped the tea cup in his hand and said coldly: "Have you finished talking? I gave her a way to live. It was the path she had to choose. Although things started because of me, they did not end because of me. Liu Si, what are you waiting for?"
Liu Si hesitated for a moment and walked towards Yun Qingshi again.
Chun'er gently wiped away the blood on Yun Qingshi's forehead with a handkerchief, carefully placed it on the stone slab, and glared at Liu Mingzhi and Liu Mingzhi fiercely, with a selective and devouring gaze that made Liu Mingzhi feel slightly frightened. .
Chun'er smiled miserably: "Chun'er will not let you two go even if he turns into a ghost. I will make it difficult for you to sleep and eat well every day."
"Liu Si, stop her."
Liu Si was also stunned by Chun'er's expression. After coming back to his senses, Chun'er was lying next to Yun Qingshi, with a trace of blood on his forehead.
Liu Mingzhi took two steps back at a loss, looking a little dazed: "Liu Si, did I force them both to death?"
Liu Si couldn't help but glance at the master and servant lying on the ground, and sighed softly.
