Chapter 56 Lessons
People who have you in their hearts will only think that they are not good enough and are afraid that you will suffer.
If someone doesn't have you in his heart, he will call you materialistic even if you buy him a new piece of clothing every three years.
When Xie Yuchuan liked Shen Wei, he could tolerate her acting like a spoiled child in the Marquis' Mansion, ignored the rumors that slandered Shen Wei, and even contradicted the old lady of the Marquis for her many times.
But in the ending of the original book...
What about the time when Xie Yuchuan didn’t like Shen Wei?
No matter how humble Shen Wei's plea was, he wouldn't even look at her.
"Miss, do you want to see more?"
"We have been out of the house for long enough. If you don't come back, Madam will scold you."
In a room next to the martial arts hall.
Miss Lu stood at the window on the second floor. From this corner she could clearly see the martial arts training scene in the gym. She watched Shen Wei carrying a bucket to build up his physical strength, and watched Shen Wei swinging his knife again and again.
Watching Shen Wei being thrown away and kicked down again and again by Manager Wu, and then getting up again.
The sound of the weapon hitting the ground was so painful that it was unbearable even from such a distance.
But Shen Wei only needed to relax for a few seconds and stood up again.
"I'm just curious. I'm curious why she was so calm and powerful when she encountered the bandits that day. Now I know..." Miss Lu looked at the unbeatable Shen Wei with mixed emotions.
As she watched, Miss Lu's eyes became red.
Was she touched?
she does not know.
But she had never imagined Shen Wei like this.
Rumor has it that Shen Wei is a vain, fanciful, dissolute and self-degrading woman, and not only did she marry into the Gao Mansion, she also dreamed of being together for the rest of her life.
She was an incompetent good-for-nothing, but she dreamed of learning how to open a shop and do business like a man. Not only did she lose money on everything she did, but she also brought shame to the Marquis's mansion.
Yes,
This was Miss Lu's previous opinion of Shen Wei. Like other noble ladies, she looked down on Shen Wei's behavior from the bottom of her heart. But now, she saw a Shen Wei who was different from the rumors.
"So this is the real her."
"And what I have heard about her from outsiders is just superficial prejudice."
Miss Lu reached out her hand and quickly wiped away her tears: "Master Xie has a really good eye. Looking at her from a different angle, she is indeed charming. Even I like her a little bit."
"I heard that Miss Shen opened a shop on East Street. Go ask around and help her out when it opens."
"She saved my reputation, and I couldn't just ignore it."
The maid looked up in surprise and said, "Miss, the women in the officialdom circle are ashamed to get close to Miss Shen. If you go to patronize her shop and those women find out, I'm afraid you will be gossiped about."
"What's there to be ashamed of?" Miss Lu felt a little angry.
She thought and reflected a lot during the past few days when she returned home.
The more she got to know Shen Wei and the more she inquired about the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion, the more Miss Lu felt that her original prejudice was ridiculous.
The one who promised monogamy was Xie Yuchuan.
The one who concealed the fact that he had a legal wife was Xie Yuchuan.
The one who made the promise to Miss Shen was Xie Yuchuan.
Miss Shen just wanted Xie Yuchuan to fulfill his promise, so how did it become an unforgivable crime?
And there is Mr. Dong... Although Miss Lu is unwilling to believe in Mr. Dong's character in her heart, all kinds of signs indicate that the matter of the bandits is not that simple, and she can't play dumb anymore.
She wants to test it.
I want a result!
Verify the answer in your heart.
Are there also despicable and calculating men? !
Miss Lu thought about this and laughed at herself: "We are all so arrogant that we look down on Miss Shen. We have learned the simple steps of walking, sitting and lying down by heart, and our minds are full of women's virtues."
"I did learn all of these. My waist was soft enough, my voice was charming enough, and my tears were pitiful enough. But when I faced the bandits, I cried so sadly, but the bandits didn't pity me or let me go."
"I finally understand."
"The things my mother taught me are nothing in the face of crisis and fate. When the knife was about to chop me, I could only pray that the bandit would see me crying and have pity on me and let me go."
"Besides that, there's nothing I can do."
Miss Lu raised her head and forced the tears back into her eyes.
If she had a long sword and a heavy bow in her hand at that time, and had the strength to swing the sword, she could have fought to the death with the bandits who wanted to tarnish her reputation.
But she didn't. She wore high embroidered shoes and stayed at home all year round. She didn't even have the strength to run away...
That's it,
What's the point of thinking about these things?
This was the fate of all women in the family, and there was nothing she could do.
-
Young Master Dong has been really anxious these days. Ever since the bandits' plan to rob and raped women failed, he has found those people who were returning home in the refugee area.
He didn't have time to ask the reason, and questioned several tall and strong men why they couldn't even win the heart of a weak lady.
I didn’t expect the other party to start cursing!
They said that the information he gave was not reliable at all, and that he was weak, so weak that he almost shot his companion to death with an arrow? Was that true?
"boom!"
"Damn Shen Wei!"
Young Master Dong was so angry that he slammed the table, his face was frighteningly sinister: "Those people in the Marquis' Mansion are really against me. Last time, it was Qin Shuyu who meddled in other people's business and caused Miss Lu to almost misunderstand me."
"This time, it's that notorious villain Shen Wei again. I was slightly attracted to her appearance when I first saw her, but I didn't expect that she would ruin my good fortune!"
"Now Miss Lu is unwilling to accept the appointment and is avoiding me."
"Miss Lu is getting married soon, and the Prime Minister has been choosing a husband for her. If I can't even meet her, how can I make a move?"
"call........"
Mr. Dong took several deep breaths to calm his depressed mood.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. His face flushed with anger. "Fortunately, the old lady's banquet at the Marquis' Mansion will be held in a few days. I got the invitation, and Miss Lu must have gotten it too. I'll have to find a chance to get her by then."
"This marriage must not fall through. If it does, what hope will there be for the future of our Dong family?"
"Even Shen Wei is also in the Marquis' Mansion...If she ruins everything at the critical moment, no, we have to think of a way."
Master Dong completely hated Shen Wei in his heart.
The last incident with the bandits was a sure win.
Miss Lu sneaked out of the house, and she only had a personal maid with her. As long as she was kidnapped, there would be no need to do anything to Miss Lu. The mere fact of her being kidnapped would be enough to ruin her reputation.
Their Dong family can take the opportunity to propose marriage. Maybe because Miss Lu's reputation has been ruined, the Prime Minister will feel guilty towards the Dong family and compensate them!
But unfortunately——
There is the obstacle Shen Wei!
Mr. Dong would not feel at ease unless he showed Shen Wei some color. "I heard that Shen Wei is in the martial arts hall recently?"
