The night is getting darker and darker, and the gloomy atmosphere hanging over Shen's mansion is getting stronger and stronger. The atmosphere in the mansion has become very depressing because of Shen Chengfeng's loss of his legs.
All the servants who serve are on tenterhooks, fearing that they will be punished by their master if they do something wrong.
A slender figure walked from the octagonal door behind Linlang Pavilion to the stable in the backyard.
If the carriage went out of control, someone must take responsibility. As the coachman, Gu Jing'an was punished with ten lashes. He was relieved of his position as coachman and transferred to the stables to be responsible for the dirty work of removing horse manure.
Gu Jing'an's ears were very sensitive. When he heard the footsteps outside the hut, he dragged his scarred body and sat up.
"Who?"
The door creaked.
"It's me, brother." Shen Wan groped in the dark and came to the stable with the help of his familiarity with the Shen family.
There is no place for him as a low-level servant.
After Gu Jing'an was punished by the Shen family to shovel horse manure here, the managers above him were not allowed to go back to the dormitory to sleep, so this drafty hut became Gu Jing'an's shelter.
He slept on a haystack and was covered with a patched quilt with a stiff inside, which was not warm at all.
"How did you come?"
"Don't worry, no one in the house will come here at this time. I'm here to deliver medicine to brother. Brother, please take off your shirt and let me see the injury."
"No need." Gu Jingan subconsciously tightened his clothes, his face turned red.
Even though he knew that Shen Wan was his biological sister, the two had just recognized each other. For the past ten years, she had been raised in the house by the Shen family, and she had learned the virtues of women. He knew very well that men and women had different etiquette.
My sister has grown up and is not suitable to apply medicine for him personally.
However, he didn't want to let down his sister's wishes, so he said, "How about you give me the medicine, and I'll have someone apply it for me later."
"Brother, I have been in the Shen Mansion for nine years, and I know the servants of the Shen Mansion better than you do." Many of the servants of wealthy families work in groups to carve up the good stuff in the garden.
They formed a huge team with Mrs. Shen, Jing Miaoyi, Shen Zhengyi and other masters of each courtyard as the core.
For workers bought or recruited from outside, if you are not tactful, good at speaking, and do not know how to curry favor with the supervisor, you may not even be able to get a bowl of hot, fresh and delicious rice.
Her eldest brother lived alone in the Shen family, and everyone in the house gave him the dirtiest and most tiring work, making him look easy to bully. Who would be willing to give him medicine?
"I can't leave for too long. If you are arguing with me here, why not let me see your injury earlier. And I also hope that brother's injury will get better soon. I need brother."
I heard from Shi Feng that Gu Jingan worked as a thug in the field for several years for money, and suffered some injuries. Later, due to some reasons, he gave up being a thug and joined the Shen family.
Gu Jing'an blushed and looked at his delicate sister. He never dared to dream that the sister he had been thinking about for fifteen years would come to give him medicine even if he didn't despise him for being dirty and smelly.
Moreover, my sister just said...she needs him as a big brother.
Gu Jing'an suddenly felt that the humiliation he had suffered in the Shen family all these years was worth it.
His ears turned red, he turned around and took off his shirt neatly.
The lantern hanging on the stable emitted a dim light, which reflected on Gu Jing'an's back.
Ten bloody whip wounds fell into Shen Wan's eyes.
She had seen soldiers who were more seriously injured than Gu Jing'an. They had broken legs, broken arms, and exposed intestines. It was much more miserable than this.
She was able to treat the wounds of seriously injured soldiers with ease.
The new wounds and old scars on Gu Jing'an's back made Shen Wan far less uncomfortable.
Gu Jing'an's back was burned by fire, and there was a mark from an arrow, leaving a large burn mark. Coupled with the ten lashes he received as punishment today, it must have been very painful.
"These injuries..."
"I served as a soldier for several years. This is what I left behind when I went to the battlefield." At this point, Gu Jingan's eyes darkened.
It’s okay not to tell the origin of these injuries, so as not to worry my sister.
While Shen Wan was helping him treat his wounds, she asked, "Brother hasn't been home for six years, right?"
Gu Jing'an stiffened slightly. He had indeed not been home for six years.
When he left the Gu family, he joined the army with ambition, but was seriously injured in the Yannan Gorge and climbed out of the pile of dead people.
It was also at that time that he found the person who took away his sister, and then changed his identity and sneaked into Shen's mansion.
He didn't look back home because he was afraid that the Shen family would investigate his life experience and harm his relatives.
Moreover, he also secretly swore that he would have the honor to go back to see his parents only if he recognized his sister.
"It's time to go home, brother!" Shen Wan bandaged his injury and walked up to him with bright eyes.
Gu Jing'an stared into Shen Wan's eyes and found that his sister was still as cute as when she was born.
"I want to stay. If you need me, I can help my sister."
"No." She couldn't just watch her eldest brother, who has been a servant of the Shen Mansion, with life and death uncertain and at the mercy of others: "You should go home and wait for my news. When I want to use you, I will give it to you." Spread the word that this is not a safe place for you to stay in the Shen Mansion. I would feel bad if I saw my own brother sleeping in a place like this."
"I..." Gu Jingan's throat choked.
He also couldn't bear to leave his sister.
This night, Gu Jing'an was in a state of excitement. Even if he was whipped ten times, he didn't feel any pain.
Because the sister he wanted to get back day and night recognized him and called him big brother.
The feeling of regaining what was lost made him happy and uneasy, fearing that it was all an illusion, a beautiful dream given to him by God out of pity.
Now he clearly heard his sister's words "I feel bad", so this was not a dream.
Their sister recognized him and the Gu family.
"Okay, I will listen to my sister."
"I will arrange a carriage to take you to Huaizhou Mansion tomorrow."
"Why Huaizhou Prefecture?"
"The Shen family wants to wipe out the roots and destroy the entire Gu family. Before I reveal my life experience, I have already ordered someone to lead the Gu family to settle in Huaizhou Mansion for a year. You go to Huaizhou Mansion to meet your parents first. By then, I'm afraid it will be necessary Big brother, help me help someone in Huaizhou Mansion."
Xie Yujin's risk in Huaizhou Mansion was 100%. She was afraid that Shen Zhengyi and the prince would suddenly change the situation and harm Xie Yujin from elsewhere.
After all, the prince is now eager to suppress the Xie family and finally persuades the emperor to send Xie Yujin out to prevent Xie Yujin from losing a layer of skin. How can they be willing to do so.
She could no longer let Xie Yujin go down the same path as her whole life and come back with a disabled body. If she could change her destiny against the will of heaven, that would be the meaning of her rebirth.
Over there, Shen Qing led a man in black into Shen Zhengyi's yard and said, "Master, the people you sent to Anlin Village have returned."
"How are things going?" Shen Zhengyi asked in a cold voice as he fiddled with the collar of his court clothes.
The man in black knelt on the ground and replied: "Master, when I went to Anlin Village, the Gu family no longer lived there. The houses were old and dusty. The villagers of Anlin Village said that the Gu family had passed away a year ago. Left Anlin Village."
"More than a year?" Shen Zhengyi frowned slightly.
It seems that Shen Wan did not investigate his life experience when he returned to the Shen family, but much earlier.
These killers he sent were to eliminate the root causes.
Shen Lian has returned to Shangshu Mansion. Keeping the mute couple is always a disaster. Unexpectedly, they left Anlin Village a year ago.
Shen Wan lied!
