Chapter 154 Pity
Chapter 154
Thinking of Luo Shuiyao's style of doing things, he wasn't worried that she would suffer any loss. After all, he knew from the moment they met that she was a person who would seek revenge when she had a grudge and avenge when she had a grievance. But since he was asked to clean up the mess, he had to know exactly what was going on.
At the spot where he had left Young Master Liu, Ye Yunzhou wrinkled his nose slightly. The faint smell of blood in the air made his eyes shudder. He quickly stepped forward and saw that Young Master Liu's face was as pale as paper and lifeless.
Ye Yunzhou stretched out his finger and touched his nose. Then his expression became more solemn and his eyes darkened. He lifted Young Master Liu's shoulder to check. Sure enough, there was a hole behind his head and a sharp stone was deeply embedded in it.
Zhuangzi was initially puzzled by the young general's actions, but upon seeing this scene, he seemed to realize something and hurried forward. After seeing clearly, he was horrified: "This... the young general, he's dead, what should we do?"
"We really just threw him here casually and didn't intend to kill him." Zhuangzi said hurriedly.
Ye Yunzhou waved his hand to stop his explanation: "Okay, I know."
He pondered for a moment and said, "You go in, don't tell your young lady about this, I'll take care of this person."
Zhuangzi nodded quickly upon hearing this.
Qin Gang was so frightened that he dared not speak. He was filled with horror and realized that he had caused a big disaster. He didn't know what to do for a moment.
Ye Yunzhou ignored their reactions and turned around to instruct again, "Go tell the young lady to handle this matter cleanly. Don't let anyone in the manor know that Young Master Liu left from here. He didn't bring any servants or other followers with him. He must have sneaked out of the mansion. No one probably knows he's here. Don't let anyone know he was here."
Zhuangzi replied, "Yes, I will go back and tell the young lady."
Hearing Zhuangzi's reply, Ye Yunzhou nodded with satisfaction. He always trusted Zhuangzi's work. He watched the two of them leave, his eyes falling on Master Liu, who was lying completely silent on the ground.
Ye Yunzhou couldn't help but kick the corpse fiercely, cursing in a low voice: "What a useless thing."
Afterwards, Ye Yunzhou grabbed Master Liu by the scruff of the neck and threw him heavily onto the horse's back, like he was carrying a torn bundle. He then jumped on the horse and whipped it hard. The horse neighed loudly, raised its hooves, and galloped towards the capital.
When Zhuangzi returned to the yard, Luo Shuiyao was following behind the son of Manager Liu, carefully looking at each cellar.
The cellar was spacious and quite large, tightly sealed on all sides, though there was a small hole in the ground, through which a ray of sunlight filtered in. Most of the space in the cellar was filled with wheat, but now the wheat was already sprouting densely.
Manager Liu's son looked at the large amount of wheat and shook his head with regret.
Seeing Luo Shuiyao staring at the wheat in a daze, he thought she wanted to know the situation, so he explained: "This is the harvest of the farm last year. Each cellar is half a cellar like this. Last year, there was a flood in the south. Many farmers had no food to eat. There were refugees everywhere, and the price of food has been rising."
When mentioning his former employer, the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion, Manager Liu's son hesitated for a moment, but his expression returned to normal after a moment.
Steward Liu's son continued, "The Jing'an Marquis's Mansion had purchased the wheat, intending to sell it when the price was highest. However, they didn't expect the Inspector General of the Hidden Dragon Division to be so drastic. He used some means to get the major families and wealthy merchants in Kyoto to work together to provide food for the disaster victims."
As he spoke, he bowed deeply and respectfully in the direction of Kyoto and continued, "Thanks to the wisdom of His Majesty, he dispatched people to quickly resolve the flood in Jiangnan, preventing the refugees from getting out of control and preventing food prices from rising too high. The Jing'an Marquis's Mansion secretly hid this grain in the cellar, and when the Hidden Dragon Bureau came to visit, they stated that they had no grain to contribute. They thought others would disagree and planned to sell the grain later, but unexpectedly, other noble families and wealthy merchants agreed, leaving the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion in limbo, unable to deal with the matter."
At this point, he sighed, "This grain has been sitting in the cellar for a whole year. When the snow melted in the spring, the water seeped into the cellar, making it damp. Now the wheat has sprouted. It's such a waste of such good wheat seeds."
Luo Shuiyao heard his words and nodded in understanding. It was indeed a pity. She walked forward, reaching out and gently stroking the tender buds that were already a finger high. An idea formed in her mind.
Thinking of this, Luo Shuiyao turned around and signaled Manager Liu's son to leave the cellar with her.
The two of them walked up the stairs to the ground. Luo Shuiyao stretched out her palm to cover her eyes and eyebrows, which were a little dizzy due to not seeing the sun for a long time. Then she gestured to Manager Liu's son to go and do his own thing, and then she walked towards the yard.
Unexpectedly, just as she reached the gate of the yard, Luo Shuiyao met a servant who was looking for her.
The servant bowed and said, "Miss, Miss Chunxing said that the girl has woken up. I want you to go over and take a look."
Luo Shuiyao nodded slightly, thanked the servant, and walked straight towards the yard.
Entering the yard, she found the door slightly open, so she pushed it open and walked in. Chun Xing was sitting by the bed, holding the girl's injured hand with one hand, and trying to persuade her earnestly.
Next to them, an old woman stood holding a bowl of medicine, occasionally chiming in with a word or two.
Chun Xing heard the sound of someone pushing the door open, so she looked up and saw her young lady coming in. She smiled and called out, "Young lady."
Luo Shuiyao nodded slightly, walked forward, came to the bedside, and looked at the girl.
The girl's eyes were slightly closed, and she seemed to be asleep, but her eyelashes were trembling slightly, and it was obvious that her heart was not as calm as she appeared.
Luo Shuiyao looked at her haggard appearance and sighed softly. She turned around and took the medicine bowl from the nanny, motioned her to leave, and then sat down where Chun Xing had just sat.
He placed the medicine bowl on the small table beside him, looked at the girl, and said softly, "It's easy to live or die, but living is the hardest. You've encountered some bad things, but it's just a hurdle. Once you get over this hurdle, you will have a bright future. Don't give up your will to live because of a scumbag. A woman's chastity is never hidden under her skirt. Don't let those worldly rules and regulations restrict your progress."
Seeing the woman's tears rolling down her eyes, she patted her hands gently with pity and spoke again: "I believe your parents will not watch you not cherish your life like this."
