When Mrs. Chen heard this, her expression suddenly froze, and fear and panic spread in her eyes.
"You, you..." Did you remember?
She stared at Shu He, not knowing how to react for a moment.
Chen Xiaohe frowned slightly, a flash of panic crossed her face, but she quickly calmed down, "Mom, she is already 'dead', we don't need to be afraid of her!!"
Even if she did remember, what would it matter? Could she come back to life and regain her identity?
Madam Chen perked up, a look of delight on her face. That's right! Why hadn't she thought of that? Even if her memory was restored, so what? What kind of waves could a "dead person" stir up? Besides, she had the support of the eldest lady behind her!
Shu He lost his patience and snatched the wooden stick from her hand and hit Chen Niang's knee hard. A heart-wrenching scream rang out in the narrow alley and continued to echo into the distance.
The people outside the gate were horrified at this scene, their faces filled with fear! A servant actually dared to assault his master! This was a heinous crime! If they reported this to the authorities, they would be paraded through the streets or beheaded in front of the city!
"Shu He! Are you, are you crazy?!"
Chen Xiaohe heard the sound of bones breaking and felt a chill all over her body, but when she saw her mother's heart-wrenching screams, she no longer cared about being afraid and subconsciously hugged Mrs. Chen, protecting her in her arms.
"You were originally the lowest-ranking servants in my Shu family," Shu He said, holding Xiao Yi'er in his left hand and a wooden stick in his right hand as he stood up with some difficulty. "You actually took advantage of my amnesia to become my master, Aunt Chen, you are so bold!!"
Mrs. Chen looked at Shu He in horror, as if she didn't know the person in front of her. How could she become so powerful?
Even when she was the eldest daughter of the Shu family, she didn't have such a fierce temper!
"You, who are you?" Mrs. Chen's face showed fear, and her voice was trembling.
"Don't you know who I am?" Shu He's eyes flashed with ruthlessness again, and the stick in his hand fell heavily on the knee of Mrs. Chen's other leg.
"Ah!! Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me, Third Miss, I beg you..." Heart-piercing pain filled every nerve of hers. Her brain was unable to think at all, and she could only instinctively beg for mercy.
"Miss?! That old lady Chen calls her Miss? What's going on? Isn't she a servant bought by old lady Chen?"
"I don't know. I heard from the old woman that she bought these two a year ago. Old Woman Chen and her family were servants of a wealthy family in Kyoto. Because they managed the farm well, they won the favor of the master and were allowed to buy these two people to help out."
"But looking at the current situation, it doesn't seem that simple!"
……
Chen Xiaohe was frightened by Shu He's ferocious look and kept backing away. Then she turned around and ran away, not caring about Mrs. Chen's heart-wrenching crying.
Shu He watched Chen Xiaohe running away, not knowing what she was going to do. However, it was just right, as it saved her the trouble of looking for everyone one by one!
Seeing Shu He approaching her with a cold gaze, Mrs. Chen endured the excruciating pain and kept moving backward, her clothes on her hips being worn out. "Third Miss, please forgive me. I didn't mean to do this to you. I was just following orders!"
"Are you following my orders?" Shu He's eyes flashed, and a graceful and elegant woman's face flashed through his mind.
"Yes, yes, it was the eldest lady's order! The eldest lady said that you have ruined the reputation of the Shu family and must never appear in Kyoto again! Originally, the eldest lady intended to wrap you in a straw mat and bury you alive, but I, an old woman, couldn't bear it and secretly rescued you!" Old Mrs. Chen seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, crying and asking for credit, hoping to escape disaster.
Shu He did have this memory, but it was not what she described.
When she had such an incident, the reputation of the Shu family was indeed affected by her. For the sake of her two children's reputation, Guan Huizhi, the eldest lady of the Shu family, instigated Shu Kelin to abandon her to a farm outside Chicheng to fend for herself.
At first, she enjoyed the treatment of a young lady from the Shu family, at least no one dared to bully her. But later, when she found out she was pregnant, she returned to the General's Mansion without permission, hoping that her father would let her return to the General's Mansion for the sake of the child, and then go to the Dongli Prince's Mansion to ask for marriage. After all, the child in her belly was the Dongli Prince's biological child!
But when she returned to Kyoto, she learned that King Dongli had been exiled to the frontier for treason. By then, there was no King Dongli anymore.
That time, she did not see her father Shu Kelin. Instead, she was greeted only by the harsh words from the eldest lady Guan Huizhi.
"You used such despicable means to climb into Prince Dongli's bed, and you have already disgraced the Shu family! And you even dared to return to the capital without permission. Do you want your scandal to be known to the world?"
"Don't you see your character? You're stupid and foolish by nature, and you're fat as a bastard. Where in Kyoto is there a young lady as disgusting as you? You even dream of becoming Princess Dongli every day. You're like a toad wanting to eat swan flesh. You're the biggest joke in the world!"
"We in the Shu family don't have a daughter like you who is unfaithful and ruins the family tradition! Tomorrow, the Shu family will announce to the public that the eldest daughter of the Shu family has passed away!"
"Someone, send her to the most remote farm and let her fend for herself!"
In this way, Shu He was sent to the western suburbs of Yuancheng, three hundred miles away from Kyoto.
The person in charge here was Chen Sanhei, the Shu family's old servant. At first, Chen Sanhei was wary of Shu He's status as a young lady and treated her with respect. Later, Shu He suffered a heavy hemorrhage during childbirth and almost died! But she was so strong that she managed to survive.
However, after waking up, she had lost all her memories. But even with this amnesia, when she first saw the baby beside her, she recognized it as her child, the child of the person she had been thinking about all the time!
Life was relatively peaceful. But a year ago, Shu He's life suddenly turned upside down. Chen Sanhei and his wife seemed like completely different people, constantly tormenting Shu He, saying she was a slave they had bought and that if she wanted to survive and raise her children, she had to work hard!
Shu He once weighed 200 kilograms! Even after giving birth, her quality of life plummeted, and she still weighed over 130 kilograms. However, in just one year of slavery, Shu He was covered in bruises and emaciated. Even Xiao Yi'er was severely malnourished.
Although she is already three years old, she looks as short and weak as a two-year-old child, and her bones are so skinny that it seems as if a gust of wind can blow her small body away.
Shu He held Xiao Yi'er tightly in her arms, but she was afraid to hurt her too hard. Remembering how Xiao Yi'er had just been kicked away by Mrs. Chen, her anger reached its peak. She stared at Mrs. Chen like a demon from hell, her cold face radiating a chill that froze the person opposite her.
Shu He threw down the stick in her hand and took out a pair of scissors from under her pillow in the woodshed. Later, Chen Sanhei had always wanted to do something indecent to her. If it weren't for the scissors, her innocence would have been lost long ago.
She walked out of the woodshed and approached Mrs. Chen step by step. "You could be so cruel to a three-year-old baby. How can my child vent his anger if I don't kill you?"
"You, what are you going to do?!"
Mrs. Chen kept moving her buttocks to try to escape, but the slender figure approaching step by step seemed to turn into a demon from hell, with a hideous and distorted face that made people tremble with fear.
"Miss Third, you can't kill me. It was the eldest lady's order. It was truly the eldest lady's order! She sent a letter a year ago, instructing me to 'serve' you well, and as long as I survived, that would be all! I was only following orders!!"
A cold light flashed in Shu He's eyes, and the rusty scissors in his hand stabbed directly into Mrs. Chen's neck. Blood splattered, staining the courtyard wall red. Mrs. Chen covered her neck, her eyes still filled with fear. She twitched twice and fell to the ground.
The common people who were watching the show outside the door suddenly burst into tears, shouting, "Murder! Murder!"
