My Lady is well

Chapter 40 Half a Scumbag

Shen Yueyao didn't expect that she had a romantic past. She raised her eyebrows and became interested.

"Mr. Du? Jin'er, tell me about Mr. Du."

Jin Er looked at her in disbelief and said, "Master, don't you remember that you are a scholar?"

She nodded again and said, "Yes, he is such an ungrateful person, he is not worth your remembering. He was just a poor scholar who lived next door to the Shen family. He met you by chance when he had nothing to do. Today he gave you flowers, tomorrow he gave you a pearl hairpin. In fact, those flowers were wild flowers, and the pearl hairpin was very cheap. After hanging around you for a while, you thought he was good-looking, and he would be acceptable to marry into the Shen family in the future."

"So I gave him 200 taels of silver as travel expenses and asked him to go to Beijing to take the exam. I didn't expect that he would be so lucky and actually pass the exam, and even ranked second. But who knew that he was such an ungrateful person. After he passed the exam, he sent someone to bring you a letter and gave you 300 taels of silver, saying that the extra 100 taels was interest. Bah, master, do you care about that little bit of silver? And you said that we should be well and owe each other nothing."

"In the end, he married the daughter of the prime minister and brought everyone from his hometown to the capital. You were so angry that you ordered people to raze his old house to the ground."

"..."

It sounds like this Du Bangyan is an emotional cheater, but Jin'er has a certain filter for Shen Yueyao, so what she said must be biased.

However, this Du Bangyan must be a scumbag without a doubt.

If you look at it from her perspective, which man here is not a scumbag?

In this evil feudal society, having three wives and four concubines is the norm, and being with one person for a lifetime is abnormal.

She could only classify scumbags into different levels.

People like Du Bangyan, who simply cheat women of their money to solve their immediate difficulties and give them certain compensation afterwards, can barely be considered sixth class.

After all, he is not shameless enough to cheat people for money and women.

As for Jing Ruzhang...

Dongxue came in to answer the call. Her eyes were red and her lips were a little pale.

Shen Yueyao called her over and asked, "What happened?"

She lowered her head and glanced towards the door. Her shoulders shrugged as if she was sobbing. She wiped her tears and shook her head.

Shen Yueyao became alert and glanced at the door.

There was a sharp flash in his eyes, and he whispered, "Jin'er, go and get him out of the way."

Jin'er nodded smartly, went out and glared at Li Shun, and said arrogantly.

"Go, clean up the cat poop in the backyard."

Li Shun's eyes swept across her face, then he looked up at the sky and pretended not to hear.

Jin'er didn't bother to be polite with him. She pinched his arm hard and said sarcastically.

"You lazy bastard, I can't boss you around anymore, right?"

"Ouch--"

Li Shun cried out in pain. He had never seen such a rude palace maid before, so he immediately gave in.

"Go, go, go, Miss Jin'er, please show some mercy, I will go right away, right away."

Shen Yueyao looked at Dongxue's pitiful appearance and asked softly.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Dongxue bit her lips tightly and refused to say a word. Chunfeng tried to persuade her.

"What's going on? Tell the master quickly so that he can help you."

Shen Yueyao guessed something when she saw her embarrassed look.

"Did Li Shun bully you?"

Dongxue looked up in surprise when she heard that, and stammered for a long while.

"When I returned to the bedroom last night after changing guard time with Xia Ye... Li Shun was actually drunk and... he was holding my hand tightly. He... he was also..."

Chunfeng had been with Jin'er for a long time and had learned a few of her swear words.

He hurriedly asked, "What else did this damn eunuch do to you?"

"...He...He...He also kissed the slave."

After saying that, he covered his eyes with his hands and burst into tears.

Chunfeng bulged his eyes, looked at her in disbelief, and said angrily.

"This damn eunuch is so brave! Dongxue, don't be afraid, the master will make the decision for you."

Scumbag! Well, no, half a scumbag.

Shen Yueyao lowered her eyelids and ran her fingertips over the copied "Female Commandments":

"When it comes to a woman's virtue, it is not necessary to be extremely intelligent; when it comes to a woman's speech, it is not necessary to be eloquent; when it comes to a woman's appearance, it is not necessary to be beautiful; when it comes to a woman's work, it is not necessary to be extremely skillful. Being quiet and chaste, keeping chastity and neatness, behaving with shame, and being disciplined in action and stillness are called women's virtues. Choosing words when speaking, not speaking bad words, speaking at the right time, and not annoying others are called women's speech. Washing away dirt, wearing clean clothes, bathing on time, and not getting dirty are called women's appearance. Concentrating on spinning and weaving, not liking to joke, and preparing clean wine and food to serve guests are called women's work. These four are the great virtues of women, and they are indispensable. However, it is very easy to do them, as long as you keep them in mind. The ancients said, "Is benevolence far away? I want benevolence, and benevolence is here."

She shook her head and sighed, thinking to herself, Virtue, speech, achievement, and appearance are the great virtues of a woman. It seems that I am lacking in this virtue.

"Let him in for a while."

Chunfeng, Xia Ye and Jin'er teamed up to beat Li Shun up and brought him to Shen Yueyao.

Jin'er kicked him on the heel and made him kneel down.

Shen Yueyao leaned leisurely on the rosewood armchair, holding the teacup, and blew out slowly.

Li Shun's head was covered with bruises from being beaten, and there was a clear shoe print on his face, which looked like Jin'er's.

Shen Yueyao couldn't help but sigh at the fighting power of these women.

Li Shun covered his face and spoke incoherently, as if he had a branding iron in his mouth, burning his tongue.

"Bamboo...they...they, me."

Jin Er spat at him: "I'm going to hit you, you dirty pervert."

Shen Yueyao looked at him nonchalantly and said coldly.

"Jin'er stays here, you guys go out first."

The maids bowed slightly and left politely.

Li Shun looked up at her with a guilty look, then quickly closed his eyes and kowtowed.

"Master... Luo Cai realized his mistake and will never dare to do it again."

"It's good that you were sent by the Sixth Prince, but if your hands and feet are not clean... there is no need for these hands and feet."

Li Shun was so frightened that he swallowed his saliva and kowtowed several times.

"Master, please bear with me, Master, please spare my life..."

Shen Yueyao looked at him coldly, then said with a hint of teasing.

"Forgive you? It's not impossible."

Li Shun's eyes lit up and he looked at her expectantly.

"If you can do something for me... maybe I'd consider it."

The light in Li Shun's eyes dimmed gradually. He lowered his head, raised his fist slightly, closed his eyes, and his voice sounded a little cold.

"My life was saved by the Sixth Prince, and I will never betray him."

Shen Yueyao raised her eyebrows slightly: "You are quite courageous."

Li Shun just buried his head and said nothing. At this moment, he looked like a warrior who would rather die than surrender.

Shen Yueyao felt a little angry when she saw that her threat failed.

However, this man is surprisingly loyal. It would be a pity to kill him, and I would not be able to explain to Jing Lince.

Finally, he ordered him to be beaten with twenty sticks and let Dongxue carry out the execution.

Unexpectedly, this girl was useless and had little strength, so Li Shun actually stood up calmly and rubbed her butt.

She herself was extremely tired, and she was panting heavily while leaning on the stick.

Shen Yueyao finally understood what the ancients meant by being powerless.

Li Shun strode over and bowed to Dongxue to apologize.

"Sister Dongxue, yesterday... I really didn't mean it. If it happens again... you can beat me to death."

Dong Xue glared at him: "Bah, you dirty pervert, who is your sister?"

"..."

Several maids took turns to monitor Li Shun spontaneously. He was relatively well behaved and did not do anything out of line.

Every time Li Shun saw them, he would walk with his head down, like a thief.

It seems that he is really scared.

As soon as the house arrest was lifted, the Crown Princess sent many rewards to Liu Fengxuan, including various exquisite pearl hairpins, rings and pendants, palace silks and brocades.

The Crown Princess rewarded her so generously. Shen Yueyao smiled and understood.

She saw that the Queen had rewarded her, so she just followed suit.

Shen Yueyao called Xia Ye and Dong Xue to count the things and put them into the warehouse.
