Sister, don’t cry, sister won’t hit you.”
In the midst of Sixth Miss’s pearly tears, Li Shu walked to her side to comfort her, then reached out her slender jade hand to wipe away Sixth Miss’s tears.
It was fine if she didn’t reach out, but once she did, Miss Six’s frightened tears were even more unstoppable.
“Alright, sister don’t cry, look, sister threw the whip away.” Li Shu had the tone of an elder sister comforting her younger sister, as she said this, she threw the horse whip in her hand to the ground.
Seeing this, only then did the sixth young miss’ tears gradually stop, but due to the fact that she had just cried with too much devotion, she was still choking uncontrollably at this moment.
“Alright, don’t cry anymore.” Li Shu stretched out her hands to gather the sixth young miss into her arms and comforted her softly.
In the eyes of everyone, Li Shu was a generous and caring big sister, at this moment, seeing her sister’s crying, her heart softened and she stopped pursuing her sister’s faults.
Marquis Linhuai’s wife was just thinking about how to end this, but at this moment, seeing Li Shu hugging and comforting the sixth young lady, she also let go of her heart. Li Shu’s future husband Zhu Pingan has just won the first prize, if Li Shu insist on pursuing the matter, then she can’t be too biased in favour of Zhu’er.
Fortunately, Li Shu stopped in time.
In the eyes of everyone, Li Shu’s gentleness continued.
After holding Miss Six and comforting her for a couple of sentences, Li Shu slowly lowered her head, and with a gentle face, she approached Miss Six’s ear, her red lips slightly opening, whispering, and softly comforting once again.
Li Shu was so gentle that no one else could hear her comforting words, only Miss Six could hear them.
“Sister don’t cry, crying too much is deadly. Has sister ever heard of a story from the Three Kingdoms period. The vassal Yuan Shu, has sister heard of it. Yuan Shu had a concubine surnamed Feng, very beautiful, round little face, big eyes, cackling …… Just like sister out of a mould, national colour, very beautiful. Oh, coincidentally, this concubine of his. Also sister is the same as the northern people it.”
“Yuan Shu this concubine surnamed Feng was originally from the north, fled to Yangzhou, Yuan Shu’s old home is in the south, oh. Just like Zhu Pingan, it is also considered a southerner. The girl surnamed Feng is too beautiful, so just to Yangzhou wine cups Yuan Shu to see, spent thousands of gold to buy to the backyard as a concubine. Feng concubine it, national colour. So beautiful, several times more beautiful than the women in Yuan Shu’s backyard, naturally let Yuan Shu happy, day and night pampered Feng concubine.”
“Yuan Shu pampering Feng Xiao Concubine like this naturally made the other women in the backyard jealous and dissatisfied. So, they came up with a solution, they pressed down their dissatisfaction and piled up smiles to hang out with Feng Xiao-concubine every day, and took care of Feng Xiao-concubine first when there was something delicious and fun to eat. Even if Feng’s concubine has a fancy for the rarest objects rewarded to them by Yuan Shu, they give them to Feng’s concubine without stinting, which is even better than Yuan Shu’s treatment of Feng’s concubine. This kind of good, even the stone is also warmed up. Slowly, Feng’s concubine also put down her heart, and they became good sisters together. Harmony in the backyard is beautiful, Yuan Shu sits and enjoys the happiness of all people, naturally he will not have a problem with it.”
“When good sisters are together, they naturally have nothing to talk about. The other women in the backyard complimented Feng Xiao Concubine’s looks daily, but at the same time, they would also push themselves to analyse the future with Feng Xiao Concubine. Whenever they had the chance, they would blow in Feng Xiaoxiao’s ear, saying that women’s looks are temporary, and there is never an ageless look, sister, you are pouring over the country today. Tomorrow, the city, a year after two years can also be firmly tethered to the heart of our Lord, but five years after ten years? Our lord’s ambition in the world, the backyard will continue to come in new sisters, at that time, sister can still guarantee that the face of the crown, can still be like this today, firmly tethered to the heart of the lord? Feng Xiao Concubine was spoken to. She was worried. At this point, the other women in the backyard began to help Feng Xiao Concubine out.”
“These women blew the whistle in front of Feng Xiao Concubine and said that in order to tie down a man’s body, you must tie down a man’s heart, and in order to tie down a man’s heart, you must understand a man’s heart. Our Lord aspires to the world, and naturally likes women who aspire to the world. We weak-minded women can’t ride the sands like a general or make decisions thousands of miles away like a military advisor, but we can worry about the country and the people.”
“If my sister often puts on the appearance of worrying about the country and the people when she gets along with the Lord, and then drops a few tears, our Lord will definitely regard my sister as a confidant, and naturally love my sister to the bone, that is, letting the newcomers in the backyard keep on coming, my sister will also be a treasure in the heart of the Lord.”
“Sisters have treated me so well in the past, naturally they would not lie to me. Thus, Feng concubine believed it. Whenever she is with Yuan Shu, she always puts on an appearance of worrying about the country and the people, Nanyang drought, the people don’t have enough to eat, I’m so worried, and then I burst into tears; Shouchun flooded, drowning a lot of crops, my poor crops, the people are going to be starving again, and then again, I’m bursting into tears; Huainan is plagued with pestilence, and the Fengqiu bandits keep on coming ……”
“As long as there is Yuan Shu, Feng concubine is day also cry, night also cry, Nuo, just like a sister crying like this, huffing and puffing, pear blossom with rain.”
Li Shu leaned on Sixth Miss’s ear, smiling like a flower, with a gentle face, but her voice was eerie, just like when Zhu Pingan told her a ghost story.
“When some time passed, the other women in the backyard then took advantage of Yuan Shu’s absence to strangle Feng’s concubine with a rope in a raw manner, and then hung her from the beams of the room with white silk.”
Hearing this, the sixth young miss then turned white with fear and wanted to break free, but was held hard by Li Shu, who continued to gently speak by the sixth young miss’s ear.
“Then Yuan Shu came and saw Feng concubine hanging from the beams of the room and was very sad. The women in the backyard all told Yuan Shu that it was Feng’s concubine who committed suicide, saying that Feng had heard that the common people in a certain place were living in dire straits, and that she was so depressed that she finally couldn’t even think of committing suicide. ‘Feng had ambition and integrity, sometimes snivelling and sorrow’, this is Yuan Shu has long known, so when he heard that Feng’s concubine had committed suicide, he did not suspect it, and after grieving and weeping for a few days, he let it go.”
“Sister, you said that you love to cry so much, if you cry so sadly today, and cry so sadly tomorrow, if one day you accidentally also repeat Feng’s concubine’s mistake, and are hung from the beams of the room by certain people who are jealous, what will other people think?”
Li Shu attached herself to Sixth Miss’s ear and asked with a smile.
“Ah ……”
Sixth Miss finally couldn’t bear it and pushed Li Shu away, ah screamed out as if she saw how terrible things were, whimpering and crying as she ran away.
It’s too scary, whimpering …… Fifth sister is too scary! I want to go home ……
The sixth young lady did not look back, and ran all the way back to her yard, whimpering and crying, as if there was a dog chasing behind her, running as fast as she could.
The ladies have not yet reacted, they saw the sixth young lady running back to her yard without turning back.
Err.
This in the eyes of the crowd, the sixth young miss Li Zhu is almost like a thief, being gently sensitised and crying with guilt ……
“Alright, things are clear, this is probably a misunderstanding, perhaps Shu’er misunderstood her sister, I will come to the door on another day to apologise to sister Zhu’er. Big Auntie I think we should let it go like this.”
Li Shu walked up to Marquis Linhuai’s wife after the sixth young lady left, hesitated for a moment and said.
The family’s scandal could not be spread outside, Li Shu could take the initiative to condescend herself to settle the matter, how could Marquis Lady Linhuai not agree to it.
Thus, the matter was resolved at the disposal of Marquis Lin Huai’s wife, today’s incident of the poisoned soup was a misunderstanding, nothing to do with the sixth young lady, no mention of this matter is allowed in the future. In addition, in order to comfort Li Shu, Marquis Linhuai’s wife gave Li Shu’s courtyard a small stove, in the future, Li Shu’s meals can be made by Li Shu’s courtyard people, the necessary expenses to go to the public account. In addition, the girl who was tied to the tree, also have the Marquis Linhuai marquis made the decision to leave it to Li Shu, the deed of sale then let people from the sixth miss that asked to send over.
After the matter was resolved, everyone dispersed, Li Shu courtyard to restore the quiet.
In Li Shu’s boudoir, there were only two people, Li Shu and Baozi’s little maid, Li Shu wrote a letter for Baozi’s little maid to bring to Wang Xiao Er:
The dowry will be a first-class maid, and she will be closely guarded and not allowed to go north.
