In the afternoon of the next day, Liuyun took Wanqing Qianlan to the street to buy things. He said he was picking out birthday gifts for the old lady. In fact, she had already prepared the gifts and just wanted to take the opportunity to go out for a walk.
Although the Mu Mansion is a big family, it is still the home of merchants. Master Mu's discipline on his daughter is not too strict. In addition, the people of Ling are open-minded. Even the daughter of a real aristocratic family does not have to hide in the boudoir. Liu Yun could meet people, so naturally Liu Yun could leave the house at will. However, due to her status as a woman, she could not show her face too much, so she could only go out for a walk occasionally to relieve her boredom.
"Miss, what should we buy when we go back?" Qianlan is young after all. It is rare for her to go out and she seems particularly happy. Everything she looks at is fresh, and her beautiful eyes are wandering around.
"Just taking a stroll, I haven't gone out for a long time." After saying this, she remembered that she used to really like to go out, and her father was very strict about it. Later, when she learned that Shen Yi liked ladies, she rarely went out. She has stayed at home all year round to study music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Now she thinks about how great the power of love is. It can actually make her, a young lady who gets sleepy whenever she reads a book, sit in peace for an entire afternoon.
"Hey, it's so lively over there, let's go take a look." Qianlan pointed to the door of the restaurant not far away, where a group of people gathered together and it was very noisy.
Liu Yun opened her mouth, then stopped suddenly. She remembered this scene. It was here that she and Shen Yi met for the first time. She tried to save people but was almost bullied. Shen Yi appeared in front of her like a god. That warm and windy smile was deeply imprinted on her heart. It remained for four years. Every night in the quiet of the night, she would recall his smile, which was so pure and clear that it moved people's hearts.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Qianlan frowned when she saw Liuyun's expression changed slightly.
Wan Qing frowned and said, "There are too many people there, let's not go there."
At this time, Liu Yun suddenly opened the corner of his lips, and a light flashed in his eyes, "Go and see the excitement."
She was very curious, if she hadn't intervened, would Shen Yi still appear, or, if she hadn't been tempted to fall in love with Shen Yi, wouldn't everything have happened?
Her thoughts were quickly interrupted by the bustling noise. As they walked over, they heard a lot of whispers coming from the crowd, and they already understood the whole story without asking.
Sure enough, just like in the previous life, the young master named Liu was wearing a washed white gown. Beside him was a shelf made of wood. There were several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the shelf. This young master Liu was somewhat talented, but he was too aloof. , a lonely man admiring himself, but now his seventy-year-old father is seriously ill and the family has run out of money and food, so he can only go out and sell calligraphy and painting to make money.
However, the landlord on South Street harassed him day by day and smashed up his calligraphy and painting stall, leaving him with no profit for several days. Now the old man's life was hanging by a thread, and he only needed a few coins to save his life, but the landlord came again. They came to destroy the stall, but Mr. Liu didn't know where he got the courage to fight with them.
When everyone saw Mr. Liu being beaten in the street, they just shook their heads in sympathy and secretly said that Mr. Liu was unlucky.
"Miss, that young man is going to be beaten to death." Qianlan frowned and clenched her fists. This girl always sympathized with the weak, but seeing the scholar being chased and beaten by a group of people, her fighting spirit suddenly ignited.
"Yes." Liu Yun nodded to show that she had seen it, but did not express any further opinions.
In fact, the matter between Mr. Liu and the local tyrant was not what it seemed at all. Mr. Liu really had no sympathy for him.
Mr. Liu boasted that he was very talented, and became even more arrogant and domineering after winning the imperial examination. The younger sister of the local tyrant fell in love with Mr. Liu. Unexpectedly, Mr. Liu thought that he was vulgar and ridiculed her. The woman was mentally disturbed.
He was hurt, depressed and went away to another place. Since then, this local tyrant has been at odds with Mr. Liu. Now that he sees Mr. Liu in trouble, he is even more determined to humiliate him.
"Miss, don't you usually hate evil and be brave when it comes to justice? What happened today..." If it were in the past, Qianlan would never dare to say such disrespectful words, but after getting along with each other during these days, everyone can feel Liuyun's change. She is no longer the listening person she used to be.
The overbearing young lady refused to be persuaded, so the two maids became more and more accustomed to speaking out their thoughts.
"How do you know that the person who was beaten did not deserve to be beaten, and the person who beat him was not doing harm to the people?" Liu Yun's words made Qianlan speechless. Seeing the stunned look on her face, she continued, "We just
When you pass by, you don’t know the cause and effect, and sometimes what you see may not be true.”
This is the experience she gained in exchange for her life. The funny thing is that she only understands it slightly now.
Qianlan was still confused, but Wanqing looked at Liuyun with relief, feeling secretly in his heart that their young lady had finally grown up and understood that many things should not be seen with the eyes, but experienced with the heart.
"Miss, help me, miss, help me..." Mr. Liu was beaten so hard that he couldn't find his way, but suddenly his spirit was shaken. He didn't know if he saw Liu Yun in the crowd, who was dressed in rich clothes, and he suddenly crawled in Liu Yun's direction.
Come over and reach out in the direction of Liu Yun to ask for help, "Miss, please help me."
Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Liu Yun, who was standing silently aside. Not many people recognized Liu Yun, but not everyone could afford to wear this brocade, especially in Linyang City, who dared to wear it.
Probably the only one who swaggered around in red clothes was the eldest lady of Mu Mansion.
Just when Liu Yun was secretly annoyed that he should wait for the light-colored skirt from the garment factory to be delivered before going out, Mr. Liu begged again, "Miss, please, save the little man, save the little man."
At this time, everyone looked at them with strange eyes, and they all secretly speculated that there was some connection between Mr. Liu, who had settled down, and the eldest daughter of Mu Mansion, the richest man in Linyang City. The more they speculated, the more agitated the crowd became, all kinds of things happened.
Whispers flowed out.
In Wan Qing's desperation, he immediately pulled Liu Yun back a few steps and glared at Mr. Liu who was lying on the ground and whining, "Our lady has no connection with you, why should we help you? You are still a scholar."
, do you know that being so rude will harm my lady?"
Seeing the righteous words spoken by the maid, everyone's expressions changed, and they looked at Mr. Liu with scrutiny, but most people were still curious whether the daughter of the Mu family would come to the rescue.
"If you want me to save you, it's not impossible." Liu Yun tilted his head and looked at such a humble man seriously.
"Miss." Wan Qing exclaimed, her eyes full of panic. She didn't believe that the lady didn't know how to avoid suspicion, especially in full public view. How could she be involved with a man?
"But please tell me why I want to save you. What do you have that deserves my help?" Liu Yun pursed his lips towards the crowd of onlookers, "There are so many people here, but you insist on me saving you. This
Why? I'm very curious."
"Xiaosheng knows that the young lady is the daughter of the Mu family and has a warm heart. Please ask the eldest lady to say a word of mercy for Xiaosheng." Although Mr. Liu was beaten with a black nose and swollen eyes, he still spoke eloquently, "In the future, Xiaosheng will be a cow or a horse. Come on.
Return the favor to the lady."
Liuyun was silent for a long time, and just when everyone thought she was silent, she suddenly raised a chuckle, and the graceful appearance in her eyebrows confused everyone's attention, "I am indeed old-fashioned and warm-hearted, but I am not indifferent to right from wrong.
It is true that the young master is at a disadvantage today, but this does not mean that the young master is the one who has taken advantage of the situation. According to this lady, it is better for the young master to report to the official."
He cleared up the relationship in just a few words, and even suggested him to report to the government in a serious manner. Others could not tell what Liu Yun's attitude was.
"Let's go, haven't you seen enough of the show?" Liu Yun shrugged, turned around and exited the crowd. Wan Qing and Qian Lan looked at each other, and both saw suspicion in each other's eyes. With the young lady's previous temperament, this kind of
How could Shi leave so indifferently? She couldn't stand this kind of person who bullies the minority.
The land bully seemed to find it boring, so he led the people away, leaving Young Master Liu lying pitifully on the ground. Seeing the crowd disperse, he had no choice but to get up and walk toward the stream.
He glanced in the direction where Yun left, and a coldness flashed across his eyes.
