The white breath exhaled from his mouth melted into the autumn morning, and Qianjie tightened the black cloak on his body.
It's quite cold.
A soul master wouldn't call it cold at this temperature, but Qianjie felt cold, and felt cold for Huo Yun'er in front of him.
She was washing clothes by the creek early in the morning. This woman was really cruel to herself, and she was also cruel to her son.
It's okay to shut yourself and your son up in the woodshed. There's no need to accept the Duchess's troubles.
It was impossible for her not to be able to resist and make things difficult for her, but she still endured it with her son.
"They started making noise early in the morning, preventing people from sleeping." The strong servant woman pointed at Huo Yun'er who was struggling to get up in the river and began to curse: "I really think I am the master, bah!"
Healthy women, in every noble family there are always some strenuous tasks that are not easy for men to do, and now it is their turn.
The behavior of the healthy woman is to look for trouble.
It’s already this hour and your servant doesn’t get up. Do you expect your master to work to support you?
That's not right. This servant is actually very conscientious. She went to this area early in the morning where only Huo Yun'er and her son were the only ones nearby, and cursed people at the risk of death at any time. This proved that she was very loyal to the former owner of Qianjie. .
"Okay, stand down!" Qianjie stood up at the right time with a little human face. It's not that he couldn't stand it anymore. This was Huo Yun'er's choice. He was happy to suffer. Why would he, an outsider, comment?
The main thing is that if you go down further, the healthy woman will die.
Because in the woods across the creek, the soul power fluctuations have become violent;
Because the strong woman's hand had already reached out to Huo Yun'er, and she seemed to be preparing to push Huo Yun'er into the water.
Obviously it was the first time for the strong woman to do this kind of thing and she didn't understand some tacit understanding.
Logically speaking, pushing someone into the water is not too much, but Huo Yun'er obviously didn't wear much to hold him back, and there were men around, so it was impossible for all the guards in the forest to be female.
This is going too far.
Because the tacit understanding between the duchess and Huo Yun'er must include two things: not to truly threaten the lives of Huo Yun'er's mother and son, and not to damage Huo Yun'er's reputation.
This is why Qianjie immediately believed Huo Yun'er after the duchess told her that she was playing retreat in order to advance.
If everything that happened to Huo Yun'er was really under the control of the Duchess, not to mention killing Huo Yun'er's mother and son would be a matter of hands. Even if the Duchess hated Huo Yun'er, she would torture Huo Yun'er well instead of killing her. If Yun'er vents his anger, there is no need to force Huo Yun'er to do heavy work without giving him food.
Instead of forcing a woman to do heavy work, depriving her of food is too severe a torture method.
Yes, it's too light.
Isn't human pigging a better expression of hatred than being forced to do hard work?
But Huo Yun'er didn't encounter anything except hard work, a good meal, a good meal and a cold breeze.
The Duchess is so kind, she even treats people she hates to the core of her heart, but just forces her to do heavy work and cry to death for thousands of tribulations.
What a Douluo and a living Bodhisattva.
But the Duchess is obviously not the heroine who is as white as a white lotus in the early stage of Gong Dou Wen, and Huo Yun'er is not a vicious female supporting role.
Today I really want this strong woman to push Huo Yun'er into the water. Huo Yun'er will be fine, but the strong woman will die.
Then Qianjie, the person standing not far away, will definitely die.
The healthy woman is very obedient except that she is not very sensible.
After Qianjie spoke, he immediately stopped and left at Qianjie's signal. The soul reaction in Lin Zi also disappeared.
The true origin of this face must have a tacit understanding with the people in the forest.
His eyes followed the healthy woman's back, and it wasn't until he was far away that Qianjie turned his eyes back to the real target.
Huo Yun'er was still doing laundry with her head down, seemingly unaware of what just happened.
A doll that has become numb to suffering, cut off from all interaction with the outside world.
It looks like this.
It's a pity that the face and figure make all appearances become a joke.
Her appearance is extremely beautiful, like pearls shining brightly, and beautiful jade shining brightly. There is a faint aura of book between her brows. She is dressed in simple white clothes and her long pale golden hair sets off each other.
That kind of temperament that I feel pity for is something I have never seen before in my entire life.
Also, for an ordinary person with no soul power to become the concubine of a duke, his appearance may be just an embellishment, but it cannot be eliminated.
The question is, whose family is suffering from hunger and cold and is about to starve to death?
It is true that a soul master has a skill in beauty, but Huo Yun'er is not a soul master. If she is really hungry and cold, she should be skinny and withered now.
Well, what Huo Yun'er looks like has little to do with Qianjie, and he is not prepared to inherit Wei Wu's legacy.
But the problem with this image is huge.
No matter which angle you look at it, the problem is huge.
It goes without saying that Huo Yun'er is a brainless person, but if he has a brain, the problem is even greater. He wants to retreat in order to advance, but he can't let go of his image?
When acting, you have to do a full set. Taking on the identity of an innocent maid who was bullied, but maintaining an image that others can tell is fake at a glance, will only make people feel very artificial.
Even if that other person knew the fact that Huo Yun'er was miserable, would he feel pity for a person who looked miserable, or would he feel pity for a person who looked like he was just pretending?
Even the vicious female supporting characters disdain to use such low-level methods.
With Huo Yun'er's wisdom of retreating in order to advance, and his perseverance that lasted for seven or eight years, would he not understand this obvious logic? Will you be reluctant to give up your appearance?
Qianjie fell into thinking.
"What's the matter, sir?" After half a cup of tea, Huo Yun'er finally finished washing her clothes that were already too white to be whiter, and stood up with a wooden basin.
She shouted that she was an adult, but without much respect in her tone and attitude. She had already carried the wooden basin to the woodshed and just shouted.
It’s as natural and casual as meeting an acquaintance on the street and casually asking if you’ve eaten.
"Madam." Qianjie stood at a distance that was safe enough for the people in the forest to react quickly and bowed slightly.
Huo Yun'er stopped and finally turned around to look at this little man with a little human face.
——Even if this person has given her countless difficulties in the past seven or eight years, in her opinion, he is just a small person like dust that can be easily dusted off.
Her eyes and tone all reflected this fact.
But she still stopped.
Because the little person is true, but this little person has never used honorific titles for her in the past.
"My lord the Duke sent me here." As he spoke, Qianjie's slightly raised face wrinkled like an evil ghost shedding its skin.
The identity of the servant is only for people in the Duke's Palace to see, it is just a permit to enter this area.
This identity is meaningless in front of Huo Yun'er, and it is also meaningless for Qianjie's purpose, assuming that Huo Yun'er is not stupid.
"Oh, there is something that cannot be said directly, Your Majesty the Duke, so I have to send you here from outside?"
Facts have proved that Huo Yun'er is really not stupid. At least the act of losing face can scare ordinary people into screaming without even blinking an eyelid.
The questions asked also hit the point.
The soul power fluctuations in the forest appeared again, and there were more than one.
"His Majesty the Duke felt that the third young master had reached the age where he should enroll in school, so he spent a lot of money to get a Shrek enrollment spot.
"And the villain is here to pick up the third young master."
The wrinkles and cracks on Qianjie's face were expanding, and he seemed to be unable to see the birds in the forest and the undisguised fluctuations of his soul power.
It was as if he didn't know what nonsense he said.
Do you need to be so sneaky when picking up your children from school? Even if it is clear that the duchess is targeting Huo Yun'er, she can enter the duke's palace openly under this banner, and no one can say anything about it.
However, Huo Yun'er seemed to believe it. She stared at Qianjie in front of her for a moment, and finally turned back to the woodshed.
"Come with me."
Qianjie's face transformed into that little person again, with a smile on his face, like a disgusting fox.
He guessed correctly.
Mothers always care about their children. They are not just born emotionless cats and dogs that can be strangled to death in exchange for political advantage. They are children who have been with her for seven or eight years.
What Qianjie said may not be true, and there is a high probability that it is nonsense.
No one would think that a sneaky person's words were worthy of belief, and Huo Yun'er certainly didn't believe it either.
Qianjie didn't expect her to believe it. The point wasn't Shrek or the Duke. It was the age, the high price, and the cracked face.
No matter how powerful and smart Huo Yun'er is, she has to face the fact that she is an ordinary person, her child's future is slim, and she can't do anything.
Just four words on his face - you are going to die.
