After Cheng Xiucai and others left, Cheng Xue came out of the room.
She also wanted to see how Shen Yanqing was doing, but she was afraid that Cheng Xiucai would push him out and cause trouble to Shen Yanqing, so she could only hold back.
She sat in the room, forcing herself to calm down and embroider the veil, but how could she really calm down?
Cheng Xue stood in the yard, looking in the direction of the county government office, silently praying to God that Shen Yan would be safe and sound.
Cheng Xiucai ran back all the way, opened the door and saw Cheng Xue.
He went up and grabbed his daughter, "Let's go to the hospital with me!"
"Dad, what are you going to do again?"
Cheng Xue was dragged out by him before she could react.
Didn't Cheng Xiucai go to see Shen Yanqing? Why did he come back so soon?
And going to the hospital? Cheng Xue didn't know what he was going to do.
Cheng Xiucai turned around and glared at her, hating that iron could never become steel.
"What else can I do? Of course I will take you to take care of Master Shen!"
Cheng Xiucai sometimes suspected that Cheng Xue was not his own biological child, otherwise how could he be so stupid and not inherit any of his intelligence.
If she were a son, he could still take the trouble to teach her, but for a girl who would get married sooner or later, Cheng Xiucai was not willing to pay more attention to her.
But this time he wanted Cheng Xue to be Shen Yanqing's concubine, so he had to give a few more instructions as he had not been taught before.
"When we get to the hospital later, you should behave better. Don't stand there like a wooden post. Pay more attention to the adults. You will agree to whatever he wants you to do. Do you hear me?"
Cheng Xiucai gave instructions, but Cheng Xue felt her teeth were cold and her heart was chilling.
Her father really regarded himself as a stepping stone. For the sake of power and status, what did a daughter mean?
But why didn't anyone ask her what she meant? Would she be willing to climb up?
"I'm not going. If dad wants to say thank you, just go by yourself!"
Cheng Xue suddenly threw off Cheng Xiucai's restraints, ran back to her room, and closed the door tightly.
Cheng Xiucai was disobeyed by her twice in one day, and he became angry.
"Okay! I did it for your own good, right? If you don't want to go, that's fine. I'll see if you will regret it in the future!"
Cheng Xue closed the door tightly, and Cheng Xiucai couldn't do anything to her, but Cheng Xue would come out sooner or later, and he didn't believe that Cheng Xue could escape his grasp.
He was determined to be Shen Yanqing's father-in-law.
Cheng Xue covered her ears as if she couldn't hear. The most important thing for her now is to save money and then have the chance to leave here.
Cheng Xue has been dependent on her father since she was a child. Her mother died early. Although Cheng Xiucai was not good to her, Cheng Xue never thought of running away from home. But Cheng Xue's behavior this time made Cheng Xue understand that she was just Cheng Xiucai. A victim of Pan Gaozhi, her fate and future were not worth mentioning in Cheng Xiucai's eyes.
She is more like a chess piece in his hands than his daughter. Cheng Xue does not want to be a concubine, even if that person is Shen Yanqing, she is not willing.
Cheng Xue's eyes were firm, and she took a deep breath and continued doing embroidery work. As long as she had money, she would be able to start her own business and get out of the Cheng family.
Thinking like this, Cheng Xue ignored Cheng Xiucai's clamor and concentrated on her embroidery work. However, she did not expect that no one would buy the things she had worked so hard to make.
Because the Cheng family's father and daughter's reputation as white-eyed wolves spread, the people in the southwest stayed away from Cheng Xue's business, and no one came forward to ask questions.
Cheng Xue looked at the exquisite embroidered handkerchief in her basket and tears fell down.
Although she had done nothing wrong but was ostracized by the people, Cheng Xue felt aggrieved, but she also knew that she could not blame others. It was all Cheng Xiucai's fault.
But without money, she can't do anything.
Cheng Xue only felt that life was dark, and she even wanted to die.
She walked home in a daze, and the people she met on the road pointed at her and yelled at her.
"A white-eyed wolf, you actually have the nerve to come out. Who would be willing to buy these things you make? If you take them home, you will become a white-eyed wolf like you. It's bad luck!"
"Okay, stop saying a few words. She's crying even if you don't look at her."
When someone scolds someone, someone will help to speak up. After all, Cheng Xue is still a little girl, and these grown men are really bullying others with their harsh words.
However, Shen Yanqing is a god to the people in the southwest and cannot withstand a little blasphemy. Cheng Xue is ungrateful and is a dead end for the people in the southwest.
They won't really make her pay with her life, but they will never give her a good look.
"Huh! Cry! Who doesn't know how to cry? This white-eyed wolf would just have to cry to death."
Han Yu and An Yi went out to do errands and saw this scene when they passed by the market.
Both of them knew Shen Yanqing's status in the hearts of the people in Southwest China, but seeing them bullying a little girl, they still felt uncomfortable.
They all knew that Shen Yanqing saved Cheng Xue. Even if it had been someone else, Shen Yanqing would still have rescued him. He never expected to be grateful from anyone. As long as the people were good, Shen Yanqing would be satisfied.
An Yi looked at Cheng Xue with a defeated look on his face and hurriedly stopped the people's curses.
"Uncles, listen to me. My father saved her because she was a citizen of Dayan. Everyone is familiar with Mrs. Cheng. Most of them are her elders. They should know her character. She was a little girl at that time. I was so frightened that I couldn't think of so much later. Besides, you don't have to say thank you out loud, just keep it in your heart. My dad knows that she is doing well, so this is the best reward."
An Yi's words were watertight, which not only gave Cheng Xue a chance to step down, but also calmed the people's anger, and also reminded them of Cheng Xue's character.
This little lady had a hard life. Her own mother died early, and she had to take on the responsibility of supporting the family since she was a child. Cheng Xiucai was a arrogant and sour scholar. He looked down upon others just because he was a scholar. , but can’t do anything and can only rely on her daughter to support the family.
Before Shen Yanqing failed to save Cheng Xue, they all felt sorry for Cheng Xue, but just because of saving people, they wiped out a person's character. What a terrible thing.
After everyone figured it out, their faces looked ashamed, and the street was extremely quiet for a while.
Cheng Xue lowered her head and couldn't help but shed tears. The grievances she felt for so many days seemed to have found a breakthrough, and finally someone could understand her.
She was grateful for An Yi in her heart. If he hadn't been here today, she would definitely not be able to survive.
Cheng Xue is not a fragile person, but she is still a little girl. How can she still have the courage to live when being chased and scolded by others?
Now that everyone has figured it out, many people want to apologize to her.
"Cheng Xue, don't blame uncle for what he said just now. It's because I was angry. If you work hard in the future, uncle will continue to buy."
"Yes, Xiaoxue, we are all too angry, don't take it to heart."
Cheng Xue sniffed and nodded, "I know, I did it wrong in the first place. I'm grateful to Mr. Shen, but I can't thank you in person because of some things. It's because I didn't think carefully and asked my uncle to Please forgive me."
