If Sun Kunshan had known that the county boss was not interested in saving him because of his talents, nor was he interested in him, he would never have tried his best to squeeze into the back house.
Seeing the stick fall, Sun Kunshan's eyes widened. Before the pain came, he still held on to the last bit of luck, maybe Cha Miyue would save people at the last moment like last time.
Unfortunately, he didn't hear Cha Miyue's voice until the pain came.
The last time, Mr. Chen asked someone to do it, and his hand was beaten and thrown around. It looked like the injury was quite serious. Sun Kunshan didn't give up, so he went out to find a few doctors and managed to heal his hand. But he heard a clicking sound.
, he felt despair in his heart... There were several sounds of bone cracking in succession, and he simply closed his eyes.
The bones were broken in several places this time, and they were definitely not going to heal.
Gu's heart was full of hatred, and she felt extremely happy watching Sun Kunshan being beaten.
It wasn't until everyone on the ground was vomiting blood that Mrs. Gu spoke to stop him: "Throw the person to the outer courtyard and ask the doctor to prepare two sets of medicine to send over. Whether he can survive depends on his own luck. If you dare to be rude to the county leader, if you are injured
Even if he is not cured, he deserves to die."
Sun Kunshan was unconscious and bleeding from all his orifices. The servants took him away like a dead dog.
After everyone left, Mrs. Gu looked at Chu Yunli with a smile: "Yue Niang, bastards like this should be beaten one by one on sight."
Chu Yunli's eyes followed Sun Kunshan farther and farther away, until she couldn't see him anymore, and then she said: "Who gave you the courage to beat someone in my name? If he dies, will he be blamed on me?"
?”
Gu's face was a little embarrassed: "Sun Kunshan is not a good person. I have long wanted to teach him a lesson. Today is just a coincidence. He really wanted to offend you, and I didn't say anything nonsense. As for losing his life...even if he is dead, no
Someone will investigate the cause of his death. Yueniang can rest assured and just pretend that this incident never happened."
"Really?" Chu Yunli looked flat: "He has no relatives?"
"No more. There is only one old grandmother who died several years ago." Gu said with a wave of her hand, "So, no matter how he died, no one will care about it."
"But I will." Chu Yunli sighed: "After all, she loves me. She even worked hard to marry me. This relationship is worth cherishing!" Damn it!
Sun Kunshan was not a good person at all. After marrying Cha Miyue, he walked around with her generous dowry and despised her as the county head for not being favored enough. Later Cha Miyue saw his true face and refused to take any more money.
Give it to him. He also fully understood that Cha Miyue, the county owner, had no face in the capital. In a fit of rage, he killed him...with the purpose of taking a large amount of dowry for himself.
At that time, Cha Miyue and Wu Qingling had been getting along for several months and had developed some friendship. Finding that Sun Kunshan's temper was getting worse and worse, Cha Miyue secretly sent a letter to Wu Qingling and asked her to help deliver it to the capital.
Unfortunately, after the news was sent, it was like a stone sinking into the sea.
Before Cha Miyue died, she learned from the maid that Wu Qingling had not sent anything to the capital at all. Moreover, everyone in the Chen family knew about her situation, but no one came to help.
As the head of the county, no matter how unfavored he is, he has his own house in the capital. It can be said that if it were not for the Gu family, even if Cha Miyue was bullied, he would never be bullied to death, and he would never be able to be popular at such a young age.
Xiaoyu died.
What's even more annoying is that no one investigated the cause of her death, and Sun Kunshan didn't have to pay any price.
Regarding Cha Miyue's death, the entire Chen family and Sun Kunshan all contributed, and no one could escape.
Chu Yunli thought so in his heart, but he ordered: "Send someone outside to ask a smart doctor to diagnose and treat him, and we must save his life."
Hearing this, Gu's face changed.
She beat the man to death, but she never thought of sparing him alive... Sun Kunshan must have hated her to death after being beaten so badly. If he hadn't died, he would have definitely thought of ways to take revenge.
"Yue Niang, Sun Kunshan is the most opportunistic person. He said he was sincere to you, but you can't believe it. In my opinion, he deliberately wanted to marry you just for your generous dowry and the title of county boss.
He wants to use you to climb up." Mrs. Gu said earnestly: "You must not be deceived by him."
"Anyway, he's already like that, so I'll just assume that he is sincere and help out." Chu Yunli waved his hand: "After living for more than ten years, there are very few people who have good intentions towards me. No matter what
Whether he is sincere or fake, I would rather believe that he is true."
Gu was speechless.
While he was talking, a servant had already followed Chu Yunli's instructions and went to ask for the doctor.
Mrs. Gu couldn't stop her. After trying for a long time to no avail, she could only hold her nose and admit it.
*
Sun Kunshan was completely unaware of anything on the way to the outer courtyard.
When he was in a coma, he thought he would never wake up again. He was very unwilling and tried to hold up his eyelids, but the severe pain still made him sink into darkness little by little.
When he woke up again and saw the familiar curtains, Sun Kunshan suddenly remembered what happened before he fell into coma. When he moved a little, he felt pain all over his body, and all his bones seemed to have been broken.
But it's a good thing to wake up.
Chu Yunli not only sent for a doctor, but also sent a maid to guard him. Someone was watching, and those who wanted to attack him could only restrain their thoughts.
"Master Sun, are you awake?"
Sun Kunshan heard an unfamiliar female voice and looked sideways. He was confused for a while before he remembered that this was the maid next to the county lord.
"It's good if you wake up. I can let you go back and explain to the county master." The maid covered him with a quilt: "If you want to sleep, just wait a moment, the medicine is almost ready. This is the county master sending someone outside.
Please ask a wise doctor to match it. Otherwise, you may have a hard time with this."
Sun Kunshan opened his mouth and realized that his voice was hoarse. After a long time of effort, he asked in a hoarse voice: "The county master saved me?"
"That's right." The maid whispered: "The county master was so thoughtful that he didn't use the doctor in the mansion and went out to find it. It also cost a lot of money."
Sun Kunshan closed his eyes, and all he wanted to do was scold his mother.
Since Cha Miyue was willing to save him, why didn't she stop him when Gu asked someone to do it at the beginning?
What the hell, she didn't take action even though the person was beaten half to death.
He wanted to curse in his heart, but Sun Kunshan didn't dare to show it at all. He had to pretend to be grateful and said: "Thank the county master for me."
The maid sighed: "The county lord is because of your kindness and cannot bear to let the people who are sincere to her die... After all, the county lord is so pitiful. She herself said that there are very few people who treat her sincerely. No matter what
Whether your thoughts are true or false, she is willing to believe them to be true."
Sun Kunshan: "..."
While he was talking, someone came in with a tray. It turned out that the medicine was prepared. The maid brought it to his lips: "This is prepared by someone sent by the county master. Mr. Sun, you have to be on guard. In this mansion,
You can't eat randomly. Otherwise, the county magistrate's efforts to save you will be in vain."
Sun Kunshan himself understands this truth.
In any case, it was because of Cha Miyue that he saved a small life. When he spoke again, the gratitude in his tone was more sincere: "When I get better, I will go and thank the county boss in person."
"No need." After the maid finished feeding the medicine, she stood up and said, "The county master said that she saved you because she just hoped that the person who sincerely treats her would have a good death. She didn't want to have anything with you, nor did she want your gratitude."
When the maid retreated, Sun Kunshan was the only one left in the room, and the only sound was his breathing.
After a while, his hands under the quilt squeezed the bed tightly, and his fingertips turned white.
Cha Miyue was certainly hateful, but the people he hated most, Mr. Gu and Mr. Chen, beat and scolded him at will just because they were a little kind to him.
If he didn't take care of the Chen family and his wife, it would be difficult for him to survive... Moreover, even without asking the doctor, he knew that this time there would be hidden diseases in his hands.
This is not over yet!
*
Chu Yunli did it on purpose.
Deliberately keeping silent when the Gu family attacked someone, and rescuing someone when they were about to be beaten to death... As long as Sun Kunshan doesn't die, he will definitely go against the Chen family.
In this way, she can save a lot of trouble.
Hearing that the man was getting better and there was no fear for his life, Chu Yunli put the man aside and lived a leisurely life.
She secretly found someone to keep an eye on the Chen family and Wu Qingling. But she never thought that when she was wandering in the garden again that day, Wu Qingling took the initiative to find her.
Now Wu Qingling is a maid in the big kitchen. She is a little tired, but not unbearable. She has long wanted to quit working, but now she has no backer in the house and cannot be willful.
"County Lord."
Chu Yunli looked at the girl in front of her who had lost a lot of weight and looked like a different person, and asked, "What do you want from me?"
Wu Qingling lowered her eyes and took out a paper bag from her sleeve: "I tried sending things to the outer courtyard before, but no one would accept them. There were two people who were willing to accept them, but their appetites were too big, and I couldn't afford the reward.
So, I came to the county leader for help."
She knew in her heart that Cha Miyue was a troublemaker and didn't like them. If she knew that she was still going to interact with Sun Kunshan, she would not hesitate to help.
Chu Yunli looked surprised: "You want to give something to Sun Kunshan?"
"Yes!" Wu Qingling looked up at her: "You will help me, right?"
Chu Yunli was indeed willing to help with this kind of help when the situation was convenient. However, Wu Qingling had a bad attitude, so she refused to do it.
"I don't owe you anything, I won't help!"
Wu Qingling: "..."
She held back her anger and said with a hint of pleading in her voice: "Please."
Chu Yunli snorted coldly and walked away.
She didn't take the thing, but she didn't forget to give instructions to the people below.
Just when Wu Qingling was desperate, a maid came forward and said that she felt sorry for her and was willing to help her deliver her things outside without any reward.
How can such a good thing happen in this world?
Wu Qingling was confused at first, and then suddenly realized. Cha Miyue, the troublemaker, was still stirring things up. She was just giving something away. There was no need for her to step forward and she could just tell the people below to do it.
In the final analysis, Wu Qingling wanted to deliver something to Sun Kunshan. Even if she guessed the truth, she did not expose it and handed the thing to the maid: "Tell Mr. Sun to bring me a return gift."
The maid couldn't tell. It was because the woman in front of her didn't believe her, and she was afraid that she would be greedy for the money in her pocket. She immediately curled her lips and said: "You think too much. The county master is very generous. Everyone in our yard is well served.
The reward for your maid in just one day is more than this."
Wu Qingling was a little embarrassed when her little thoughts were brought to light: "It's not what you think."
The maid took the purse and said, "That means the county owner is kind-hearted, so...otherwise, I wouldn't bother to take care of your business."
Sun Kunshan from the outer courtyard laughed angrily when he received the purse.
That idiot Wu Qingling was afraid that his life would be too good, so he deliberately tormented him.
Both of them are still in the Chen Mansion. They had previously conspired to deceive the Chen family's only son, causing him to lose his fiancée, the county lord, and the Chen family to lose their noble daughter-in-law. The two have not interacted with each other these days, and in the eyes of others
They had no relationship long ago, but as soon as this purse came...it was like telling everyone that the person Wu Qingling was thinking about was him.
No matter how generous a man is, he cannot tolerate the fact that a woman with whom he has a lifelong private life is pretending to be someone else. Especially Chen Nankang is an arrogant rich man. When he learns about this, he will definitely be angry and will definitely take revenge.
When he heard that the maid wanted to return the gift, Sun Kunshan gave him a writing brush and a piece of paper to write down his thoughts on it.
When Wu Qingling got the brush, she felt relieved. She had worked hard to save the money, but she couldn't let others get it. When she saw another piece of paper, she opened it and saw that Sun Kunshan's words were filled with resentment. She couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart.
.
How could she not understand that the two of them needed to avoid suspicion among the Chen family?
I gave him money because I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hire a doctor because he didn't have enough money, which would delay his injury. If he died, nothing would be lost.
Compared with your life, what is that little doubt?
Even if they were to be retaliated by the Chen family, at least they would not dare to beat people to death openly. If it was a private plot, they could find a way to avoid it.
In short, it is better to die than to live. There is hope when people are alive.
The matter of sending things to each other between the two could not be concealed from Mrs. Gu, who managed the back house. She immediately laughed angrily, called for her son, and told the matter.
"Wu Qingling, that free-spirited bitch, kept saying that she was sincere to you. But then she turned around and gave away all the money she had accumulated to others. Nankang, as a maid, every penny was hard to come by, and she would never give it away easily.
Give the monthly money you save to people who don’t matter.”
Chen Nankang was silent for a while and said: "Mom, I have given up the idea of being with her. You don't need to tell me these things."
"She lied to you." Mrs. Gu emphasized: "You must never be soft-hearted again."
"No." Chen Nankang said instead: "These days, I have always wanted to get back together with Yueniang, but she still refuses to accept me. Mom, I think I have to find a way to force her!"
Mrs. Gu suddenly became interested: "How to force me?"
Chen Nankang had already thought of various ways and said casually: "She has come to see me several times, but she said she has no interest in me. To be honest, I don't believe it. Women all like to make fun of me. If they see me discussing marriage,
, you should be anxious."
Mrs. Gu's eyes lit up, and then she said: "I'm pretending to discuss marriage! Son, let's not give up easily until Yueniang is married."
Chen Nankang has been trying to please Cha Miyue these days. To be honest, he is a little tired. He almost wants to give up.
Seeing her son's thoughts, Mrs. Gu emphasized in a low voice: "The dowry on Cha Miyue's hand is comparable to that of a princess. Such a large amount of money is more than the entire wealth of our Chen family. If we can't reach it, it's fine. Now
You have it at your fingertips, are you willing to give it to others?"
If it wasn't for the money, Chen Nankang would have married someone else long ago: "Mom, I understand."
Just understand.
Two days later, Chu Yunli heard that Mrs. Gu had been going out every day recently, making appointments with various wives. Although she did not explicitly say that she was discussing marriage, anyone with eyes would know the real reason why she was like this.
Chu Yunli heard these things and put them aside.
When she was visiting the garden, she met Chen Nankang again.
Chen Nankang bowed politely: "Greetings to the county lord."
"No need to be polite!" Chu Yunli's attitude was natural: "I haven't congratulated Mr. Chen on the upcoming good things."
After Chen Nankang spread the news, he sent someone to keep an eye on Cha Miyue. When he saw that she was not sad, nor came to question him, nor did she look anxious at all, he began to feel uneasy.
Two days have passed, and Cha Miyue is still as usual. He couldn't bear it anymore, so he took the initiative to find her.
As a result, when Cha Miyue congratulated him, she even had a smile on her face. How could this look like she was interested in him?
"Yue Niang, what do you mean?" Chen Nankang looked confused: "How can I do anything good?"
"Mrs. Chen is looking at you." Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly: "I've heard about this all day without leaving the door. You are doing business outside every day, so there is no reason why you don't know.
"
"I really don't know." Chen Nankang smiled bitterly: "I believed in the wrong person and loved the wrong person. I wanted to regret it, but I didn't take the regret medicine. If I can't marry the person I want to marry, even if I want to marry, it will be at least two or three times.
After the year, no matter how active my mother is, it will all be in vain."
When he said this, his eyes were full of affection.
Chu Yunli sneered: "Chen Nankang, please stop pretending here. It would be fine if Mrs. Chen is really looking at you, but if she is just putting on a show for me, hoping to provoke me to take the initiative to approach you... Haha..."
When they met today, Chen Nankang kept staring at her face, not missing any expression on her face. After observing her for so long, his heart sank.
Because he could see that Cha Miyue really had no feelings for him.
This girl used to look at him in private, her eyes brightening up every time they met, and he would blush with embarrassment after making a few jokes. But as a result, it changed!
"Yue Niang, you are thinking too much. My mother is not trying, but I really don't want to marry." Chen Nankang said in a low tone: "To be honest, the person I want to marry the most is you. Yue Niang, are you willing?
Give me another chance to take care of you?"
"I don't want to." Chu Yunli raised his eyes and saw Wu Qingling coming over, and immediately smiled: "Speaking of which, the maids in your house are really unruly, and the stewards are as if they are blind and allow the maids to walk around randomly."
Chen Nankang was confused when he heard this. He turned his head following her gaze and saw Wu Qingling at a glance. His face suddenly became ugly.
When he heard about Wu Qingling sending things to the outer courtyard, he was really angry. In fact, he somewhat believed Wu Qingling's words about cutting off contact with Sun Kunshan after they met him.
After all, he has a good background and good looks, and many girls secretly admire him. As long as he is a smart man, he will definitely choose him between him and Sun Kunshan.
As a result, Wu Qingling lied to him again!
"What are you doing here?"
When Wu Qingling was questioned by him, her eyes instantly turned red: "I...I heard that Madam is looking at you, do you really want to marry someone else?"
"I won't marry you anyway." Chen Nankang's feelings for her were almost gone, but habits are hard to change. Seeing her in pain, he felt a little blocked: "You are a maid in a big kitchen. You can roam around freely, so it is obviously a job."
So relaxing!”
He tilted his head and ordered: "Go and tell the manager of the big kitchen to take care of the people under him. If they are bored, find more things for them to do, so as to free up the extra people and move them to other places."
Wu Qingling's eyes widened.
As a maid who serves people, she doesn't think her job is too easy, and neither does she. Besides, although she is not the most tiring person in the kitchen, she doesn't have much free time.
As Chen Nankang is the only young master in the house and the future head of the family, how can she get good results if she continues to receive such orders?
Not to mention that the manager would blame her, everyone in the whole big kitchen would be busier than before, so how could she be let off as the culprit?
"Nankang, do you really hate me so much that you want me to die?" Wu Qingling couldn't help crying: "They will kill me. Even if I can survive, I will be exhausted."
Chen Nankang turned around and said: "There are dozens of servants in the house. The salary alone is a huge expense every month. If we lay off a few people, we can save a little."
It was entirely the owner's thinking, and it was not from Wu Qingling's point of view.
Wu Qingling stared at the person in front of him, as if he didn't recognize him: "Chen Nankang, I hate you!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran away.
Chen Nankang would not allow her to be so presumptuous and grab her.
Wu Qingling's collar was pulled and her neck was strangled. She couldn't help but scream in pain. She turned around and said, "It hurts!"
Chen Nankang pushed the person hard and pushed him to the ground. He sneered and said: "You are resentful of the master and you are serving in the kitchen. Are you forcing me to sell you? Also, you lied to me.
It’s my turn to hate you.”
Wu Qingling fell to the ground, grinning in pain, and couldn't get up for a long time. When she met the man's cold gaze, she felt cold in her heart.
During this period, she had been testing a lot, and she had almost risked her life before. Chen Nankang was indifferent from beginning to end, and now with this attitude... He really didn't seem to care about her.
"Nankang, I...I was wrong..." She cried out in fear.
Chen Nankang approached her step by step: "Wu Qingling, don't you want to come back to me? I'll help you! Someone, take her to my yard to wash up and wait!"
Anyway, Cha Miyue refused to marry him no matter what, so he could do whatever he wanted. Wu Qingling had deceived him so miserably, and still wanted to be with Sun Kunshan... in a dream!
He had to put a thorn between these two people!
If Wu Qingling becomes his woman, Sun Kunshan will definitely feel uncomfortable being with her again!
