A Scumbag Always Gets What He Deserves

Jian Qiao was taken aback by Lei Zhe's stern yelling, and quickly raised her hands as a gesture of retreat.

"My lord, I'm sorry for offending your female companion. But I didn't mean to insult her." He said apologetically.

What blasphemy?It's a dirty bitch!You shouldn't be touching her head!You are the one who was desecrated!

Lei Zhe had a stomach full of things to say, but couldn't say them in front of a courtesan.A good education enabled him to maintain a basic gentlemanly demeanor.

The courtesan has cried to the point of collapse.

Two clerks came up, tried to comfort her, and handed her a clean white handkerchief.

When the courtesan took the handkerchief, she realized that her palm, together with the pink gemstone, was covered with red, white, and black stains.And these smudges come from her face powder, rouge, lipstick and charcoal eyebrows.

This shows how her face was mushy with tears.

No wonder the clerk looked terrified when he looked at her, as if he had seen a ghost.

The courtesan screamed "ah", and then quickly ran out of the jewelry store covering her face.She has long been used to being despised, humiliated, and even trampled on wantonly, but she doesn't want to make a fool of herself in front of Mr. Earl, not at all!

This street is known as Jewelry Street.The people who love to patronize here are not only ladies and courtesans, but also robbers and thieves.They like to find women who are alone and who don't seem to be of high status to start, so that they can get rich rewards without getting into trouble.

And the courtesan who ran out crying would undoubtedly become the best target.

Lei Zhe also raised his hands, and hurriedly said to Jian Qiao: "You don't have to feel sorry, I didn't mean to blame you just now. I don't know how to explain it to you. Anyway, I'm not angry, and she's not my girlfriend I have no friendship with her at all!" Hua Luo hurried out.

As a knight, he must ensure the safety of the lady.

When Jian Qiao came back to her senses, the store door was closed, and the wind chime hanging on the beam of the door rang softly, proving that someone had come and left just now.

"What's wrong with them?" Jian Qiao pointed at the door.

The two clerks shrugged, their faces full of bewilderment.

---

Lei Zhe found the courtesan covering her face and crying in a dark alley at the corner of the street.She curled herself up like a wounded puppy, clutching the worthless pink gem tightly in her hand.

"Get up, I'll take you back." Lei Zhe strode over, his voice full of impatience.

He has no interest in this woman at all, so he doesn't want to ask her why she is crying.

"I miss my mother." The courtesan felt the desire to tell.

She lifted up the hem of her skirt, wiped the pink gemstone with great care, and then wiped her pretty face, choked up and said, "My family is very poor, and I can't even afford a complete piece of fabric. So My mother would always pick unwanted rags from the trash and sew me dresses.

"You know, growing up, I never wore a new dress. My dress was always patched up, weird, ugly, twisted, all kinds of patches. Wearing this patched dress Well, I'm ugly as a toad! People always laugh at me, and I'll run home crying and find a dark place to hide.

"At this time, my mother will find me, hug me, and whisper in my ear: My little Jenny, in the eyes of my mother, you will always be the most beautiful girl in the world. Be happy, my Baby. When you're happy, the sky clears up because of you."

At this point, the courtesan's tearful eyes gleamed with happiness.

She looked into the void and murmured as she recalled: "At that time, I always dismissed her comfort, because I always knew very clearly that I was not the most beautiful girl in the world. Whether I smiled or not, The sky is always gloomy, and the warm sun never shines on me. I am so humble, small, and mediocre."

She held up the jewel in her palm and said like a dream: "But just now, I suddenly understood that everything my mother said is true. Because she loves me, I am the most beautiful in her eyes." Yes. Because she loves me, so when I am happy, her sky is clear. I am her light and heat.

"She loves me so much! But I ran away from that family because of poverty and fell into this quagmire. I regret it so much! It would be great if I could meet Mr. Earl earlier and hear what he said just now!"

The courtesan sticks the pink gemstone to her face and weeps.Only then did she understand that whether a person is noble or not depends not on others, but on herself.He who loves himself will always be noble.

On the contrary, those who abandon themselves in pursuit of fame and fortune will be humbled into the dust.

They will eventually become worthless.

Lei Zhe rubbed the aching brows, and said in a deep voice, "Do you want to go home? I'll send someone to take you home. With me here, the bustard dare not trouble you."

The courtesan raised her tear-wet face and said in great pain: "Thank you for your kindness, but I can never go back. My mother is dead. The person who loved me the most in this world is gone."

Lei Zhe was dumbfounded.No matter how powerful he is, it is impossible for him to resurrect the dead.

While he was racking his brains to think of how to comfort the poor woman, the courtesan lifted up her skirt and wiped away her tears carelessly.

She raised her head, showing a pair of firm eyes, and said like an oath: "My lord, I will live a good life. My mother loves me, so I am a treasure in her eyes. When she is gone, I should love me like she loves me." I love myself as much as I do. I should also be a treasure in my own eyes. Others abuse me, but I can’t abuse myself. I want to live beautifully and happily every day. I want to choose what I like, not Blindly pursue the so-called expensive."

She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and stood up with difficulty while leaning on the wall.

"It's a pity that I understood this truth too late." She looked down at the pink gemstone in her palm, and her voice became choked up again.

Lei Zhe shook his head and said, "No, it's not too late. With such awareness, I think you will shine in the field of courtesans sooner or later."

Courtesan: "..."

For some reason, she suddenly had the urge to hit someone.

After a long time, she spoke with difficulty: "Lord Lei Zhe, should I thank you for your comfort?"

Lei Zhe pointed to the outside of the alley, and urged, "You're welcome. My servants are already here, and they will take you back. Go quickly, I still have things to do."

The courtesan looked at the intersection, and sure enough, she saw several tall knights and a luxurious carriage.So she wiped away her tears and left without looking back.For this powerful, incomparably rich and handsome man, she has no attachment at all.

Compared with Earl Huadu, all nobles in the world are rubbish!

Lei Zhe stared at the back of the courtesan for a while, then shook his head, and then strode towards Jian Qiao's jewelry store.

"Ah, you're back. Is that lady okay? What's wrong with her?" Seeing Lei Zhe who had gone and returned, Jian Qiao immediately asked.

"Your nagging reminded her of her own mother." Lei Zhe said in a mocking tone.

"So I missed my mother." The light in Jian Qiao's eyes completely dimmed.

Maternal love was the last topic he wanted to touch, so he pointed to the two velvet boxes placed on the counter to attract Lei Zhe's attention: "Do you still want these two rings?"

"Of course, how much?" Lei Zhe strode to the counter.

Jian Qiao reported an extremely high number, and Lei Zhe signed the order without blinking, and then asked, "You really don't want to sell that piece of agate?"

Jian Qiao firmly refused while tying the gift box with a ribbon: "Not for sale."

Lei Zhe clicked his tongue and said disdainfully, "Actually, you don't deserve it."

"What?" Jian Qiao suddenly raised her head and looked directly at the past.

"I said you don't deserve to have it." Lei Zhe repeated in a heavy tone, without averting his eyes: "You also said that it is not a dead thing, but a world. It stays in the dark underground, waiting for someone who can understand , Appreciate, and people who cherish it appear. And you can't meet its expectations at all.

"You dug it out, polished it smooth, and discovered its beauty. But you locked it up again in a dark, small place, and let it continue to remain silent. So, what's the point of its existence? If I , I will never treat my most beloved treasure in this way."

Jian Qiao's heart was touched, and she couldn't help asking: "Then what will you do?"

"I will wear it on my chest at all times. I know its fragility, so I will protect it; I cherish its beauty, so I will let it bloom. With me, it is completely free."

Lei Zhe pointed to Jian Qiao and said, "Quoting what you said before, the way we treat our loved ones often reflects the way we treat ourselves. You locked up that piece of agate so that no one can see it, does it also indicate that That you lock your heart away from anyone?

"You said that everything has animism, then you should really take out that piece of agate that has been permanently stored in the dark place and listen to it. I think, if you really connect with it, you should be able to hear it cry the sound of."

Lei Zhe nodded and emphasized again: "So, you don't deserve it. People can't live for the sake of living. Everything has a meaning of existence, do you understand?"

After saying that, he took the two rings and strode away.He hated the gentle mask that Mr. Earl always wore on his face, and what was the difference between this mask and the safe?

The wind chimes on the door beam collided with each other and made pleasant sounds, but they couldn't wake up Jian Qiao's mind.

It took a long time before he woke up from the trance, and then hurried to the safe, unlocked the padlock, and took out the sandalwood box.

He carefully took out the piece of agate that contained a small world, and put it in his ear to listen.

The shop was silent.Everyone looked at the Earl with strange eyes.His behavior was so strange, as if he could really hear an unusual sound from a stone.

Doesn't he know that it's all Lei Zhe's nonsense?

However, after a few seconds, Jian Qiao closed her eyes and murmured, "It's really crying."

He took away the agate that was close to his ear, held it in the palm of his hand, and sighed inaudibly: "To me, it is a stone that is not free."
