Chapter 40 Dazzling
God knows how much courage she mustered just now to analyze the pros and cons with this group of people.
"Girl, what's wrong with you!"
"I'm fine, my heart is beating too fast and I'm a little panicked. Help me up, my legs are weak." Shen Wei felt his whole body trembling, probably because of excitement. This was probably the result of some hormone surge.
She is so excited.
That's what it feels like!
This feeling of being able to control your own destiny!
The feeling of being in control of your life!
Really good.
Shen Wei felt like crying now. After all, she had never thought that she could be so strong and brave. When facing danger, she could remain calm and analyze the reasons and negotiate peace.
Every second of her persistence in the martial arts gym, every drop of sweat she shed, every move she made, every arrow she shot, and every sword she swung were all worth it.
"Girl, why are you crying?"
"Don't scare me. Are you hurt anywhere?" Xiaoman panicked when she saw Shen Wei's eyes were red and filled with tears.
Shen Wei tightly grasped Xiaoman's hand, forced a smile and shook his head: "Xiaoman, I didn't cry."
"I am happy about this."
"I'm happy. I seem to have...changed something. I seem to be getting closer to my goal. This is the first time for me to be able to control my destiny in this place."
"Everything I have done during this time is worth it, and I deserve it!"
The pain of tearing arm muscles was so painful that she twisted and twitched, and she didn't want to give up all the time.
But she can't.
She gritted her teeth and raised the bow again and again.
It takes all your strength to pull the string.
Arrow after arrow, slowly approaching the full ring.
One cut after another, he slowly cut open the shackles.
At this moment, Shen Wei blinded Aunt Zhao and also dazzled Miss Lu's sight.
Xiaoman pursed her lips and looked at the dazzling Shen Wei and her confident and flamboyant smile. It was at this moment, at this moment... Xiaoman suddenly realized what the girl was insisting on.
what is it then?
It is your own destiny that you can control.
"Girl, Xiaoman also feels like crying."
"I suddenly understood... you were in so much pain, but why you were unwilling to give up."
"Xiao Man will never say those discouraging words again, and will never persuade you to give up or to give in to the Marquis. If it weren't for the girl today, I can't imagine what would have happened..."
"Girl, you are really, really amazing. The arrow you shot just now was very accurate. Yes, very accurate." Xiaoman cried with joy and said to Shen Wei with tears on her face.
Of course.
Shen Wei patted Xiaoman on the shoulder and made a bow-drawing gesture with high spirits.
Just fifty meters, but she was so proud!
The next time she returns to the martial arts gym, she will start practicing the 80-meter dash.
"Okay, I'm back to normal. Let's keep going." Shen Wei pinched Xiao Man's face and was about to get on the carriage when he realized something: "Where's the coachman?"
The moment the bandits appeared, the groom abandoned his horse and fled.
He fled very quickly, completely disregarding the lives of Shen Wei and the others.
After all, the person in the carriage was neither Qin Shuyu nor Xie Yuchuan, but just a concubine and a girl with no name or status, not even a master. After weighing the pros and cons, the coachman naturally was unwilling to work for them.
Now that the crisis was resolved, the groom quickly ran out from the shade of the trees in the distance: "Miss Shen, I'm fine, shall we continue on our journey?"
"Let's go." Shen Wei glanced at the coachman indifferently, said nothing, and got on the carriage directly.
Until this time,
Miss Lu, who was so frightened that her soul was about to fly out of her body, took the initiative to speak and called Shen Wei: "Miss Shen! Wait, wait a moment."
"Ms. Lu." Shen Wei stopped and nodded politely to Miss Lu.
"Your... archery skills just now..." The two arrows shot by Shen Wei just now lingered in Miss Lu's mind. She thought for a long time before she said, "Very impressive. Thank you."
"If you hadn't stepped forward, the reputations of all the women in the Xiangfu would have been affected because of me."
"And I, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I don't know what I'm going to experience."
Miss Lu stood up with the help of the maid.
She bowed gracefully in the direction of Shen Wei.
Shen Wei laughed and waved his hand, preparing to get on the carriage: "You're welcome. You saw what happened with your own eyes. I don't think I need to remind you. Be careful in the future."
"Wait a moment..." Miss Lu called Shen Wei again.
She pursed her lips, stared closely at the confident and dazzling Shen Wei, and asked: "Miss Shen...are those bandits pretending to be me? Is their purpose to destroy my reputation?"
"Please tell me, I, I want to know."
Shen Wei: "You already have the answer in your heart, don't you?"
"I don't know, I don't know why this happened... A woman's reputation is so important. If they force me to go to the mountain, I will have no choice but to commit suicide to protect the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"I don't believe it, this is impossible." Miss Lu twisted her handkerchief hard and cried out.
Even though she found tens of thousands of reasons in her heart to deny that Mr. Dong was not that kind of person.
Can,
But Shen Wei's eyes that seemed to see through everything told her that the facts and the truth were so cruel, and men could be so vicious and calculating.
Ms. Lu should accept the truth...
But she recalled the good things about Master Dong over and over again. Master Dong was so good and so upright, how could he do something that would ruin his reputation?
What good will this do for Mr. Dong? !
"I guess you don't believe me, but a woman who falls in love will eventually hit a wall before she turns back. If she hasn't seen with her own eyes the evilness of human nature, she will always have a beautiful filter and a myriad of excuses."
"The birthday banquet at the Marquis' Mansion is coming soon. I promised to help you test him, and I won't break my promise."
"You were frightened today, go home and rest, and don't meet that young master during this period. If you believe me, then listen to me. If you don't want to believe me, then go with you."
After Shen Wei said this, he drove away in a carriage.
Miss Lu stood there blankly, looking at the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion going further and further away.
All the scenes she had experienced during this period of time flashed through her mind like a slide show, and finally stopped at the scene where Shen Wei was standing not far away, holding a bow and arrow, calm and composed, with great ambitions.
She opened her mouth and wanted to say something to defend Mr. Dong.
But suddenly,
I also recalled the first time I met Shen Wei in the Marquis' Mansion not long ago.
Shen Wei's words hit the heart: "Ms. Lu, not all men are ambitious, and not all women are short-sighted..."
