Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang
Chapter 135 Black Lotus Tears the Cannon Fodder Script (6)
Shi Qing said in a deep voice, "Okay, go down now. There's nothing for you to do here."
After saying that, she ordered Chunlin to pack his bags and changed into a simple and elegant outfit.
Chunlin's eyes were red, and she cried, "The Governor clearly has bad intentions. Miss, you can't go there..."
"Now that things have come to this, let nature take its course. Chunlin, we've already weathered the most difficult times at the manor. Why should we be afraid of anything else?"
Chunlin said no more. It was destined that the young lady would marry the governor. In that case, her task was to improve the relationship between the future son-in-law and the young lady.
The lady wants the young lady to be happy the most, and she will do her best no matter what.
"I will go with the young lady."
Shi Qing and his servant arrived outside the main hall. The mansion, which was usually plain and simple, was now filled with Jinwu Guards inside and out.
Shi Jianye's face was not in a good state, and Zou beside him was even more nervous and did not dare to say a word.
The atmosphere in the main hall was tense. Shi Xiaoyun had an argument with Shi Jianye over Shi Qing's visit to Xuanyuan Mansion.
There were bright red slap marks on his face, probably from Shi Jianye just now.
"Father, my sister's wedding is not scheduled for these two days, and she hasn't even come to meet you yet. How can my sister go to Xuanyuan Mansion without any status? I don't agree."
Zou snorted coldly. She had been holding a grudge against Shi Qing and his sister for a long time because of Shi Luoyi's incident, so it was natural that she would go all out to retaliate.
"The marriage has already been arranged. Will the Governor make things difficult for Shi Qing? Since it is his intention, we should avoid any trouble. Follow the Master's instructions and send Shi Qing over."
Shi Qing walked to Shi Xiaoyun's side, looked at his face with some heartache, reached out and stroked it, frowning.
"The wound on her face is quite serious. Father must have hated Yun'er so much for speaking up for me that he did this to her."
Shi Jianye had a blank expression on his face. Xuanyuan Heng was the current emperor's favorite minister. Even if he wanted to kill Shi Qing, he would not stop him.
As long as the Shi family is safe, it doesn't matter if he sacrifices one or two daughters. Besides, it will be beneficial for him to get along with Xuanyuan Heng.
Qingfeng and Yueying looked at each other. It seemed that the relationship between the father and daughter of the Shi family was not good, but it had nothing to do with them.
I heard that the second young lady of the Shi family broke off the engagement with the master, and the master holds a grudge very much. This girl had better fend for herself.
"The imperial decree was issued by the Emperor. Since Miss Shi and our master have already been granted marriage, her entry into the palace is merely to learn some etiquette in advance. Miss Shi, we have prepared the carriage. Please come in."
After saying this, the Jinwu Guard stepped forward and asked Shi Qing to get on the carriage, but he looked so cold, as if he was going to interrogate a prisoner.
Shi Xiaoyun pulled Shi Qing's clothes and said in a firm tone.
"Sister, you can't go. He must have bad intentions. I'll go with you to Xuanyuan Mansion, okay?"
Yueying sneered, "Our governor only likes women. Even if Mr. Shi has feelings for our governor, he should stay away from us."
Shi Xiaoyun, “…”
Shi Qing tidied up Shi Xiaoyun's clothes, his tone calm and composed, as if he was just going on a long journey.
"Yun'er, study hard. The autumn exam is coming soon. Don't let me down. You have to believe in me. No matter what the situation is, I can handle it."
Shi Jianye said meaningfully, "My dear, the Governor loves you deeply, you must serve him well."
Shi Qing laughed sarcastically, and she stepped forward and saluted, seemingly lowering her brows and looking submissive, but in fact she lowered her voice and spoke with a smile.
"Father, please take good care of my younger brother. If anything happens to him, he'll likely hear about why I broke off the engagement with Xuanyuan Heng. What do you think he'll do?"
Shi Jianye was shocked that Shi Qing actually used this matter to threaten him, but he was also really worried that Xuanyuan Heng would deal with the Shi family if he knew the truth.
At the beginning, the Xuanyuan family was slandered for treason, and the entire Xuanyuan family was either exiled or beheaded in public. Xuanyuan Heng saved his life because of the late queen.
His mother was seriously ill in prison and was about to die, so he came to Shi Jianye's house to ask him to invite a doctor to visit his mother.
It's just that Shi Jianye was seeking profit and avoiding harm, and didn't want to have anything to do with the Xuanyuan family.
Not only did he refuse Xuanyuan Heng's request to see him, he also confined Shi Qing to his home. Xuanyuan Heng's mother died of illness two days later.
When Xuanyuan Heng visited Shi Jianye for the second time, he threatened Shi Qing with her biological mother's ashes, saying that if she did not break off the engagement with Xuanyuan Heng, he would grind her mother's bones and scatter her ashes.
Shi Qing had no choice but to compromise and bid farewell to the frail and seriously ill boy who had lost both his parents. He even wrote a letter of withdrawal from the engagement in public...
The original owner never forgot the past. The misunderstanding between her and Xuanyuan Heng was her regret after her death, so the resentment attracted Tuanzi's attention.
Shi Jianye snorted coldly, "You'd better just do your job. If you dare to speak nonsense, some things will be difficult to say."
Shi Qing was too lazy to argue with him. Her father had never been a good person.
She swiftly threw the bag to Qingfeng, waved to the Jinwu Guards, and said calmly.
"Let's go to Xuanyuan's house."
Qingfeng's mouth twitched. At this moment, the second young lady of the family was really a bold girl. She had no rules at all. If you didn't know, you would think that the Jinwu Guards were her bodyguards.
However, the Jinwu Guards inexplicably obeyed and walked towards the outside of the Shi family.
Shi Xiaoyun impulsively wanted to step forward to stop him, but Shi Qing's words echoed in his mind.
He finally understood why his elder sister had been so strict with him during this period.
Did she know that Xuanyuan Heng would attack her?
He gritted his teeth and decided that if Xuanyuan Heng dared to do anything to his sister, he would never let him go.
Shi Xiaoyun stood outside the Shi Mansion for a long time, until the carriage left the Shi family, then he withdrew his gaze.
Shi Jianye wanted to find a way to vindicate himself, but Shi Xiaoyun was tired of playing the role of loving father and filial son, so he just spoke coldly.
"Father, the autumn exam is still a while away. I should go back to the warm room to study. Please stay with me, father."
Zou sarcastically scoffed, "It's clear she's not cut out for this. Forcing it forward won't lead to anything good. It's ridiculous!"
Shi Xiaoyun was not one to swallow his anger, so he retorted directly.
"No matter what, I'm not yet a young woman. Madam, you can't fail to educate your daughter well and think that I'm like an older sister, right?"
Zou was so angry that she vomited blood. The scar had not yet healed, and now Shi Xiaoyun tore the wound open.
Her heart was bleeding with pain, and she kept cursing Shi Xiaoyun in her heart, calling him a bastard who was born to a mother but not raised by one.
Shi Xiaoyun left the Shi family's gate without looking back. He looked at his ruthless father coldly, and the smile in his eyes froze.
One day, he will give up his surname and get out of the Shi family's genealogy. He will change his name to Liu.
His mother only gave him a name and passed away in a hurry. Zou thought that he was too young to know anything, but these years were enough for Shi Xiaoyun to find out what happened.
A father who favors his concubine over his wife will get his retribution one day.
That day, it won't be too late.
Shi Qing sat in the carriage, watching the scenery outside the window pass by. She was very calm and didn't seem panicky at all. On the contrary, Chunlin's palms were sweaty.
The carriage was very luxurious, and there were snacks on it. Shi Qing ate one or two snacks, looked at Chunlin beside him, and comforted him.
"They come, the security."
Chunlin said nervously, "I heard that the Governor followed the Emperor to war, but was ambushed in a remote area and his appearance was disfigured. He usually wears a mask. People say that Governor Xuanyuan is extremely ugly, and children would have nightmares if they saw him."
Shi Qing raised his eyebrows, thinking of the last time he saved Xuanyuan Heng in Wangjiang Tower. His appearance was indeed extraordinary, at least not ugly at all.
She sighed deeply, "What happened back then was already decided. Some things are hard to say after all, but my marriage to the Governor cannot be changed. For me, marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog."
The two servants sitting outside the carriage and eavesdropping, "..."
They secretly blamed the governor for being too fierce and vicious, which led to such rumors among the people.
However, the second young lady of the Shi family is very knowledgeable and interesting.
I hope she is doing well.
Half an incense stick later, the carriage stopped at the Xuanyuan Mansion. The Xuanyuan family was the only one around. This was the mansion given by the emperor himself.
After the Xuanyuan family was rehabilitated, it was rebuilt in the original Duke's Mansion, and thus the current Xuanyuan family came into being.
Xuanyuan Heng invited all the old servants from the Duke's Mansion to the new mansion. The Xuanyuan Mansion was so big that there were actually countless people inside.
Shi Qing was invited to Xuanyuan Mansion. The scenery inside was pleasant, with the feeling of Jiangnan architecture, and every blade of grass and every tree was beautiful.
The servants were all wearing azure blue clothes made of cotton and linen, which was much more comfortable than ordinary coarse linen clothes. It was obvious that the Xuanyuan family treated their guests well.
When Shi Qing and Chun Lin entered Xuanyuan Mansion, they were greeted by a pretty girl. She glanced at Shi Qing warily and said suspiciously.
"Are you Shi Qing?"
"It's me. I wonder what advice the young lady has for you?"
Shi Qing nodded. The woman looked at her with an increasingly complicated gaze, and then she snorted coldly.
"Come with me. The Governor has ordered me to arrange your accommodations. Although your marriage to the Governor is granted by the Emperor, you cannot act recklessly in the palace. Everything has its rules, especially staying away from the Governor."
Qingfeng couldn't help but frown when he heard this, "Ah Sheng, isn't that too polite? Miss Shi is our future wife."
Ah Sheng said sarcastically and directly retorted.
"Why are you being so reserved? Back then, someone broke off their engagement with the Governor during his most difficult time, completely forgetting how the Xuanyuan family had helped the Shi family. Isn't that ungrateful? How can a woman from such a family be any good?"
Ah Sheng also didn't understand why the governor insisted on marrying this woman. Was he going to keep her in the mansion and torture her?
Shi Qing understood something. This girl Ah Sheng was pretty, but it seemed that she had ulterior motives towards Xuanyuan Heng. No wonder she was so hostile to him.
When Chunlin heard that Ah Sheng was so hostile, she was very protective of her master and retorted sarcastically.
"No matter what you say, our young lady's marriage to the governor is a done deal, and she will be the mistress of your Xuanyuan family in the future.
You are just a maid like me, what qualifications do you have to point fingers at the young lady? Could it be that you are the concubine of the mansion?"
Chunlin had honed his eloquence at the farm, and this time he was absolutely sharp in his words, simply choking people to death.
Ah Sheng had no idea that the maidservant beside Shi Qing was so eloquent. She had no chance of winning the argument, so she simply kept silent.
She left in a hurry, her face slightly cold as she said, "Follow me."
Shi Qing was arranged to stay in Guiwange. Shi Qing learned from Tuanzi that Guiwange was the courtyard closest to Xuanyuan Heng's residence. It was said that it was arranged by Xuanyuan Heng.
Ah Sheng arranged two maids to serve Shi Qing. After having some supplies delivered, she glanced at Shi Qing coldly, then left with her people in an arrogant manner.
The second young lady of the Shi family...did she really think that she could live a good life in the Xuanyuan family? She was so naive. Back then, she dared to treat the governor like that. No one would swallow this insult, let alone her.
She had even thought about the cruel way the governor tortured Shi Qing, and the unhappiness in her heart gradually subsided.
Chunlin was very diligent and had cleaned up Guiwan Pavilion in less than half an hour. The courtyard looked well-repaired and much better than their residence in the Shi family.
Qingfeng even ordered someone to send over some cloth, saying that they were to make clothes for Shi Qing.
Chunlin was happy. She thought that the young lady must be deeply loved by the governor, which is why she was treated like this in the mansion.
In the evening, Xuanyuan Heng's attendant came over specifically to tell Shi Qing to go to Wenshu Temple and have dinner together, and he didn't need to bring a maid.
Chunlin was a little worried at this time. Her face changed slightly and she spoke nervously.
"Miss, I always feel that things are not that simple. Will the Governor find a way to torture you?"
Shi Qing felt that Chunlin was too unconfident in his own fighting ability. Not to mention Xuanyuan Heng, even if all the servants of Xuanyuan Mansion came together, they might not be able to defeat him.
Xiaotuanzi’s cheat is no joke, so it’s better to worry about whether Xuanyuan Heng is his opponent.
Shi Qing said to Chunlin soothingly, "Don't worry, wait here for me to sort out the shop's accounts. We'll go check it out together in a couple of days."
Chunlin kept Shi Qing's advice in mind and did not lose his composure after all.
Wenshu Monastery was extremely deserted. It was already evening, and only the mottled shadows of bamboo could be seen under the moonlight.
Shi Qing wore a cloud dress and, under the guidance of Ah Sheng, stepped into the Manjusri Monastery.
Ah Sheng's eyes were still full of hostility as he reminded Shi Qing in a cold tone.
"I advise you not to resort to trickery, or else don't blame me for being rude."
Shi Qing didn't even look at her. A maid who didn't know the difference between high and low and had no sense of propriety would suffer the consequences sooner or later. There was no need to dirty her hands to deal with her. She was lowering her own status after all.
"So this is the Xuanyuan family's etiquette for entertaining guests. I wonder if it's just your nature to not distinguish between high and low, or if Ah Heng doesn't know how to discipline his servants."
When she called Xuanyuan Heng's name, it was very intimate and not abrupt at all. Ah Sheng was a little angry, but he was not good at talking and was no match for Shi Qing, so he was very annoyed at this moment.
Ah Sheng knew that the more he spoke, the more mistakes he would make, so he finally stopped talking. He took Shi Qing to Wenshu Temple and left.
Shi Qing pushed the door open and walked in. The man had a face as bright as the moon, and his expression was calm, showing no emotion. After Shi Qing stepped into the room, he looked up at Shi Qing and then looked away.
There were a few side dishes on the table, which looked delicious, and there was also a pot of wine.
"Aheng."
Shi Qing's gaze fell on Xuanyuan Heng, and the emotions in his eyes were complicated, with a bit of tenderness and fatigue, as well as the acceptance of reunion after a long separation.
