Chapter 109: Breaking the Roots of Descendants
Shen Wen pretended to be shy and covered his forehead with his hands, then secretly stood up and slipped out of the crowd.
She didn't know that the hero Murong had already seen through her identity. Since the hero Murong was interested in the marriage between his sister and Chu Yanqiu, he paid close attention to the women around Chu Yanqiu. He remembered every man and woman who had an affair with Chu Yanqiu. Although Shen Wen was a man at that time, the hero Murong recognized him. As far as he knew, this girl Shen used to be the wife of the eldest son Ji, and was originally a man.
Shen Wen sneaked out and wanted to return to Chu Yanqiu, but she suddenly found someone following her, so she changed her mind and decided to take a detour to stop the person. If she knew that the person was Murong, maybe she would not do such a boring thing, and she would just lead the person to Chu Yanqiu. Who said that this matter was caused by Chu Yanqiu, he was having affairs everywhere and also implicated her.
Shen Wen went out of the side door on the west side, turned right, passed the Ziwei Courtyard and the small study, and went east, and he would reach the grandmother's courtyard. Shen Wen was familiar with the outside and inside of the place.
Shen Wen was agile and walked fast, intending to test the skill of the man behind him. However, the man kept chasing him. However, when he reached the yard of the grandmother, he stopped and just watched her from behind. Because he was a man, it was unreasonable for him to enter the inner house casually. Moreover, he had already discovered that this Miss Shen was not only followed by him, but also by two other people.
Hero Murong only pondered for a moment, but one of the other two people appeared and started fighting with him.
Another person had already appeared in front of Shen Wen.
It was none other than Chihe.
Shen Wen then realized that Chi He and the secret guards had known about her sneaking out the moment she did so, and had been hiding in the dark and following her.
Shen Wen smiled and gave Chihe a thumbs up in admiration.
So Shen Wen and Chi He went back to see Chu Yanqiu.
When they arrived at the small study, they saw three women arguing with each other from afar. Shen Wen ran over curiously to see what was going on.
She and Chi He then saw clearly that it was Liu Man'er. Liu Man'er was slapped hard in the face by Ji Ziyin yesterday, and her cheeks were swollen. It was embarrassing enough to come out like this, and he was even dressed in a shabby manner, only wearing his underwear to wander around.
Liu Man'er shook off the maid's hand with tears on her face and said, "Don't stop me. I want to go find my big brother. I really can't stay here any longer. I want to go home with my big brother."
The maid Jin Zhui also cried out of distress. She wiped her own tears and then wiped her master's tears and advised: "I know that the young lady has really suffered this time. She was beaten by the eldest master and was confined to her house for a month. The servants in the courtyard saw that we had lost our power and neglected us. But... the young lady cannot go to see her uncle. If she tells this, it will definitely make a big fuss. The young lady cannot go back to her parents' home! If you go back like this, the Duke's Mansion will not allow you to come back again. This is divorce, and you will be really miserable. You can't expect to have a good life in your parents' home in the future. Have you thought it through?"
Liu Man'er bit her lip tightly and said nothing. After a while, she still wanted to go to the front yard for the banquet. She broke free from the maid and the nurse and cried, "Let me go... I want to go home. My parents will not ignore me. At worst, I can become a nun. I've had enough of the masters and servants in this place."
Several people were pulling each other to the corner, and they ran into two men who had just turned the corner. They collided head-on and both fell to the ground.
The two people were a master and servant. The master was a young man in colorful satin clothes, and the servant was a butler in silk clothes.
Shen Wen squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and saw that the man was Shen Haofeng, the tenth son of the Shen family.
Shen Haofeng was drunk and reeked of alcohol. He was being supported by his servants, but he was not happy after being bumped into. He started to curse. The curse scared the three women and they hugged each other, looking at him in panic.
After the man finished cursing, he looked carefully and saw that there were three women. The one in the middle was not dressed properly, but her face was very pretty. She looked so pitiful with tears in her eyes!
He couldn't help but become lustful, and his drunkenness mostly dissipated. He stood up and touched Liu Man'er's face, saying frivolously: "Where did this beauty come from? Which master are you going to serve? Look at the tear marks on her face, maybe she met that unromantic man? It would be better to..."
The nurse mustered up the courage to spit at him, and then protected Liu Man'er behind her and cursed: "You ignorant playboy, do you know who my wife is? How dare you be so mean to her?"
Shen Haofeng felt sick just looking at the old woman. How could he listen to a woman's nonsense? He drunkenly pushed the woman to the ground, and the wet nurse fell heavily to the ground. She could only cry out in pain but could not get up.
The maid was quite clever, pulling Liu Man'er and turning around to run. But as soon as she turned around, Shen Haofeng grabbed her hair, causing Jin Zhui to scream in pain, but as soon as she screamed, she was pushed out by Shen Haofeng, hitting her head on the ground and bleeding profusely, but fortunately, she only had a scratch on her skin and was not in danger of death.
Chi He kept shaking his head as he watched, and almost wanted to kill the drunk who beat the woman. He really didn't take women seriously and was extremely cruel.
He looked at the scene of the crime and couldn't help but said, "Girl, wait here. I'll go get rid of that drunkard, and then..."
But halfway through his speech, he turned to look at Shen Wen, only to find that the figure had quickly flashed ahead.
He followed closely behind, but was still one step behind Shen Wen.
Shen Wen pulled Liu Man'er, who was held by Shen Haofeng, and kicked her sideways, hitting Shen Haofeng in the lower body. Shen Haofeng wailed and fell to the ground, rolling around while covering his lower body.
The housekeeper, who was watching the fun from behind Shen Haofeng, suddenly changed his expression when he saw this. How could he dare to neglect it? Kick in that place, that's the lifeblood! He scolded Shen Wen, "You are so bold, do you know who you kicked? Do you want to save your life?"
Is Shen Wen afraid that he will be nagging?
He took three or two steps forward and kicked the butler in the chest, knocking him to the ground. He pounced on him like a leopard and attacked the butler's face with all his might, causing blood to splatter all over the butler's face.
After beating her for a while, Shen Wen felt that he was being a bit stupid. Although the housekeeper's face was like a sandbag, her hands were precious and would become swollen if he continued beating her like this.
So she got up from the dog slave, looked around, and saw a thick dead branch hanging on a big tree not far away. She pointed at the branch and said to Chihe, "You! Go! Take that branch down for me."
Chi He was a little hesitant, and Shen Wen said unhappily: "Don't waste time, I'm beating the servant, not his master, can't I teach a lesson to the servant who bullies a woman?"
Chihe immediately jumped onto the tree, took down the branch and gave it to Shen Wen.
Shen Wen held one end of the branch and hit the dog servant repeatedly. He hit the bloody places, and every time he hit the branch, some blood came out. The servant rolled on the ground. He kept shouting, "Hurry up, someone is going to die. The grandson of Duke Shen is going to be beaten to death by the Ji family..."
Chi He only appreciated the beauty of Miss Shen's beating, but ignored how the dog slave was shouting. After hearing two sentences, he came to his senses and hurriedly stopped Shen Wen.
But it still alarmed the people nearby, and three or five people came to watch the fun, among whom was the Marquis's butler Hu Jincai. Hu Jincai squeezed into the crowd and took a closer look, his face turned pale, and he looked at Shen Wen and Chi He who beat them up and said, "You...you...these are the distinguished guests that the Marquis invited to Ziwei Court! Now they are beaten like this? This matter has become a big deal!"
As he was talking, he heard someone in the crowd say, "The Marquis is here, and the third son of the Shen family..."
Shen Wen didn't want to see Shen Yifeng. She turned her face to cover her eyes with the fan, pulled Chi He and whispered, "Why don't you go and call Chu Yanqiu? Go quickly, or I'll suffer."
Chihe quickly pulled away.
Shen Yifeng first squatted down to check on Shen Haofeng, who at this time had fainted from the pain. Seeing that his lower body was soaked with blood, Shen Yifeng guessed that he was injured in that area.
Shen Yifeng turned around and looked at Master Ji and snorted heavily.
Master Ji also saw the injured area and his face changed with fear. He quickly asked the housekeeper to call a doctor.
The housekeeper had some good eyesight. He quickly said, "I've already asked for the doctor. He will be here soon."
After a while, the doctor was called in, and he carefully felt the pulse and said, "First, carry this young man into the house for treatment. I need to carefully examine his private parts."
So Shen Haofeng was carried into the small study.
The housekeeper pointed at Shen Wen who had been surrounded and said to the Marquis and Shen Yifeng: "He was the one who beat him up. The Marquis and Lord Shen can ask him any questions."
That's how it has come to this.
There was no other way! Shen Wen had no choice but to put away his fan and look directly at Master Ji and Shen Yifeng.
Shen Yifeng was indeed a man who stayed at the border. His demeanor and behavior were fierce and powerful, and a glance was very intimidating. He said in a calm voice: "Who are you? What grudge does my tenth brother have against you? Why are you so cruel and violent?"
Shen Wen said, "Your tenth brother was so bold that he flirted with the Marquis' daughter-in-law in broad daylight and even rewarded her wet nurse and maid. I couldn't even say how shameful and despicable his behavior was at the time. I attacked his tools in anger. Your tenth brother should be blamed for this. I injured him in self-defense, but it was a bit excessive."
Shen Yifeng heard her speak so logically and clearly, which was very impressive. He couldn't help but look at her carefully.
