The Rebirth of the Empress

No Loss (part 3)

The Cai Yun Yuan

The healer had just left, and Shen Qing who had taken the medicine to calm her nerves fell asleep.

Although he had seen it many times but when he saw the bruises on Shen Qing's body, Ren Wan Yun's heart could not help but feel the blades being twisted inside. The doctor is from his people and certainly will not talk about this, and he had told Ren Wan Yun that the wound on Shen Qing's body was too serious and with his unclear sanity, one was terrified that he needed to rest for some time. As to why his sanity was unclear, it was because he was afraid of this state.

On that fateful night, Ren Wan Yun did not dare to think about what kind of torment Shen Qing was actually going through. That night he stayed next to Shen Qing, and could hear cries for help from Shen Qing but he thought it was Shen Miao so he did not go up to stop her. In the end, her daughter's life was ruined. As long as he thought about it, Ren Wan Yun's heart was filled with regret.

Shen Gui looked at Shen Qing on the bed and seemed to feel her head ache and she turned to leave.

"Stop there!" Ren Wan Yun stopped him, "Qing-er is now becoming like this, and you still want to go to that vixen yard?"

Shen Gui was depraved and had several concubines in her backyard. Each of them were beautiful and gentle but Ren Wan Yun was extremely strong as he could finish them appropriately. Although Shen Gui was depraved, he knew that only Ren Wan Yun could make his official route run more smoothly, and would not cross the proper boundaries so that Ren Wan Yun would not control it. Men are all the same, concubine's yard is nothing more than a toy. Why you should compete with toys.

But today, she became somewhat unusual.

“You better not create problems without reason.” Shen Gui was a bit upset. Today he was made speechless by his own nephew and by Prince Yu's side, he didn't know how the situation was and whether he would be angry at him. Thinking of this, Shen Gui became even sadder and now after seeing Shen Qing, it felt like pouring oil into a fire. His tone was rather impatient, "It would be useless for me to stay here, it would be best if I was not distracted so I could think about what I should do next."

"Think, think, think!" Ren Wan Yun changed his usual temperament to look at the bigger picture and shouted, “You only know how to think, think, think! What exactly is Qing-er in your eyes? Now he has become like this and you as a father simply do not care and will not care about him! In your heart, I'm afraid there's no Qing-er at all. In this world, how could there be such a cruel father like you!”

When those words were spoken, even the two servants near Ren Wan Yun, Lan Xiang and Cai Ju were stunned. Normally Ren Wan Yun would face things calmly, and even when Shen Qing had an accident at Wo Long Temple, he also pushed forward and looked at the situation as a whole. As for Shen Gui, although she did not say any harsh words, for Ren Wan Yun to be a rational person to suddenly become a rat and quarrel with Shen Gui, no one could believe her.

Ren Wan Yun also did not know why he was like that. Seeing Shen Gui like this, Shen Miao's words spoken in Rong Jing Tang's language, still echoed in his ears.

When Shen Gui found out that Shen Qing had been in an accident, her first thought was not to look at Shen Qing's injuries but to discipline Shen Miao. This is not at all what a true father should do. Shen Gui did not even care about her daughter's life and death. Perhaps Shen Qing was only a precious thing to Shen Gui, and because he had value then he continued to maintain it. Now that there was no value, he did not even want to look at her anymore.

Shen Miao's provocation was insignificant at Rong Jing Tang but after pondering until now, it finally exploded.

"You're sneaky!" Shen Gui was often flattered in the official environment and when there would be a time where she would be accused and scolded. Although in his heart there was hatred, he still knew that he could not let go of all the pretenses of hospitality with Ren Wan Yun so he sneered, “You said that I am not a good father but are you a good mother? Qing-er was taken to the Wo Long Temple by you and you should have taken good care of her. You are by his side but still let him fall into an accident under your eyelids. That night, did you not sleep next to his room? If you really loved her, then in such a short distance, how could you not find that the problematic person was Qing-er?

As he spoke, Ren Wan Yun was instantly dumbfounded.

The thing he regretted and hated the most was that night in the Northern pavilion. He had clearly heard cries for help and clearly had a chance to save his daughter but a series of factors, let Shen Qing fall into an accident. Now with Shen Gui stabbing his heart with a knife and applying salt to his wound, it stupefied him on the spot.

Shen Gui saw that she did not speak and thus she sneered and brushed her sleeves and left in a huff. No one knew which page of concubine he was heading to.

Ren Wan Yun stood empty for a moment when suddenly his legs softened and he fell to the ground. He held her face and started to cry softly.

Xiang Lan and Cai Ju were both shocked and scared in their hearts. The current Ren Wan Yun seemed to have collapsed overnight and was beaten into a desperate position. There was no pride and arrogance before.

The two maids could only step forward to cheer. After crying for a while, Ren Wan Yun wiped his eyes and stood up again. He said, "Bring the paper and the brush, I want to write a letter to Yuan-er."

Shen Yuan was the eldest son of the Second household and the eldest son of Ren Wan Yun. Today he was appointed in Liu Zhou and after his term of office was completed, he would return to the capital Ding as an official.

If one were to say in all three households, Shen Yue was the proudest, in the Second household, in the second, Shen Yuan Bo was the youngest and Shen Qing was after all unqualified but Shen Yuan was after all unique. At a young age, he was able to achieve scientific honor and he did a good job even Shen Gui would be friendly in front of this son.

"Because dad's unreliable, then there's an older brother." Ren Wan Yun looked at the sleeping Shen Qing and said with gritted teeth, “Yuan-er loves you very much her little sister. Shen Miao, that little whore, this time I want you to pay for your actions and live a lifetime full of regrets!”

“Four maids and Gui Momo are all in the wooden warehouse. Furen wanted to give them a mute or direct remedy.”.

These few servants naturally watched Shen Qing fall into an accident. There were servants Shen Qing, Yan Mei and Shui Bi, and servants Shen Yue, Qing Luan and Huang Ying, and also Gui Momo.

“Give Shen Yue's servant a mute medicine and hand it back to Qui Shui Yuan, let Chen Rou Qiu handle it himself. Two servants Qing-er ..." Ren Wan Yun said viciously, "Sell them to a ninth rank brothel. Wouldn't it let them go so easily if they just died? Since the protectors do not do their work, of course his sins cannot be forgiven.”

Cai Ju could not help but break out in a cold sweat. The brothel and Hua Lou (where prostitutes work, direct translation: Flower Building) are different. The women in Hua Lou could choose to sell their skills or sell their bodies, but the women in the brothels all did meat business. Moreover, the ninth rank brothels were the lowest of all because all the guests were the roughest and roughest lowest people and because of being the ones with the lowest rank, they were the ones with the lowest rank, they would not care about a fairer gender and would even be brutal. Those women need to accept customers non-stop, both day and night. The money they received was not their own and was directly given to Mama. If one day arrives where they are infected with venereal disease, they will not take any medication and will be thrown on a mat and freeze to death, starve to death or even bitten by a dog to death. These are all common scenarios.

Hence the people who were sold to the ninth rank brothel were all servants who had made a heinous mistake or it was because of the hatred of the owner. Yan Mei and Shui Bi followed Shen Qing since young and after so many years, if there was no praise, there was also hard work. Who knew that their fate would be like that.

“This servant notes. Gui Momo the..” Cai Ju asked. Gui Momo had thrown away his fate with them and was considered the people of Cai Yun Yuan.

“Gui Momo...” Ren Wan Yun sneered with his head down, “That night what really happened, I don't know. But now to think about it, there is still a need to meet Gui Momo because he is the one who knows the ins and outs.”

*****

The abandoned wooden shed was filled with a foul smell, the rain over the past few days even some mold grew on the floor. If it was as usual, it would be silent but in the current darkness, it seemed a bit strange.

This wooden warehouse had been used to lock down many people and they were the ones who had made a mistake in the Shen residence. There were masters and servants before but these people would not meet a good end because after being locked up here for a while, they would disappear from the Shen residence quietly, silently, noiselessly, as if they had never existed in the world before.

At this moment in the wooden warehouse there were some strange sounds and it seemed like someone was struggling, and their legs kicked something before holding back their cries.

Placing the lanterns in their hands to the side so that the light would shine on the wooden shed. The dim yellow light, made the wooden shed look even scarier. Two older, larger women held the necks of the two maids and poured some items from the bottles down the throats of the maids.

The two maids continued to struggle but unfortunately their weak and small bodies looked like little chickens in the old lady's hands. The women covered the servants' chins so they could not spit the thing out of their mouths. No one knew how long time had passed, but the two maids finally stopped thrashing and clutched their sore throats.

"S dragged them out." One of the old ladies ordered the waiter behind him and two more maids came in to drag the two maids out.

"Both ..." The old woman pointed to the other two maids, "Will also be dragged out. But Furen specifically mentioned taking good care of them as they would be sold to such a place. If you are willing, then do it according to your wishes. ”

When the two maids heard it, their eyes revealed longing gazes. When one looked at the two maids again, there was only despair on their faces.

The two old women saw that everything was almost cleaned up, so they got up and left.

"Is Furen ... Furen mentioned about what to do with this old servant?" In a dark corner, a silhouette suddenly came out and hugged the leg of one of the old ladies, "What about this old servant?"

That person was no one else but Gui Momo.

"Momo must not be impatient," The old woman pulled Gui Momo's hand from her leg and spoke with an eccentric, "Furen is very concerned about Momo and will definitely set her entirely up for Momo. Just wait.”

Finished, he left without turning around.

The room suddenly fell into the darkness again and Gui Momo shrank into a corner, looking extremely frightened.

No one is willing to die. He wants to live.
