Chapter 223 He is a demon
Sheng Yunzhu looked at Sheng Junyi in horror.
Sheng Junyi's eyes were pitch black, exuding an unfathomable, sinister aura. While the Sheng family members generally had lighter-colored eyes, he was an exception. When gazed upon by those eyes, one felt as if they were filled with boundless affection, but when stared at intently, it was as if falling into an abyss, sending chills down one's spine.
Her heart was pounding, and her fingers, pressed against the ground, trembled slightly.
"Yunzhu, I told you before, you don't have to be smart, but don't try to be clever. If you ruin yourself first, there's only one outcome for a useless person: I won't hesitate to take care of you myself." Sheng Junyi smiled and said calmly, "You'd better find a way to get married soon, or I'm afraid I might not be able to resist taking action at any time."
After Sheng Junyi finished speaking, he turned and left.
As Sheng Yunzhu watched Sheng Junyi's retreating figure, her fingertips trembled uncontrollably, and she even felt like gagging.
She was rarely afraid of anyone, but she was actually a little afraid of Sheng Junyi.
It was true in the previous life, and it is true in this life as well.
In her previous life, she was a head maidservant by her mistress's side. Because of the kindness she received during her childhood, the entire Shengguo Duke's Mansion treated her very well. Although she was a maidservant on the surface, she didn't actually need to do anything and lived a life of luxury. Lan Shi even said that when her mistress got married, she would choose a good family for her to marry into, so that she wouldn't have to marry a servant or accompany her mistress to her wedding.
But why? Why was it that when they lived together in Qinghe Village as children, her grandmother, receiving money from Lan Shi, didn't treat the young lady she was entrusted with well, merely keeping her from starving? Her life back then was clearly much better than the young lady's. She always thought it would continue like this, but suddenly the young lady became the legitimate daughter of the Duke's mansion, while she became a maid. She was unwilling; how could she be content to be a maid?
Her earliest interest was in Sheng Junyao, the heir of the Duke of Sheng's mansion. Unfortunately, they were several years apart in age, and Sheng Junyao went to the border early on and later died there, so she had no chance at all.
Therefore, she preferred the second young master, Sheng Junyi. Sheng Junyi was too handsome, so handsome that any woman would feel ashamed in his presence. She had thought more than once that even if she couldn't be his wife, being his concubine would be good enough. Especially after the eldest young master's death, the second young master would rightfully become the heir to the Duke's mansion. If she could get the second young master, wouldn't she also be able to rise above others in the future? So she found an opportunity to drug the second young master, wanting to climb into his bed.
So what did the second young master do? He saw through her scheme at a glance, but he didn't expose her at all. Instead, he calmly watched her administer the drug and even cooperated by "drinking" it. In reality, he had already switched the drug with hers. When she was suffering terribly from the drug, he looked down at her, found a lowly servant, and raped her.
Afterwards, he calmly asked her how it felt. If she wasn't satisfied, he would find her a new one next time. She was terrified, but he had her cleaned up and sent back to serve the young lady. From then on, every time she saw him, it was as if she had seen a demon.
So when she became Sheng Yunzhu, and as she carefully and cautiously approached him, she still dared not harbor any other thoughts. But seeing him pamper and treat her with tenderness time and time again, she couldn't help but feel a sense of vengeful pleasure.
So much so that over time, she almost forgot how terrifying he truly was.
Of all the people in the Duke's mansion, Sheng Junyi was the real madman.
So what he said was definitely not a joke; if she became useless, he really would kill her.
"Miss, are you alright?" The maid came over and tried to help her up.
Sheng Yunzhu then snapped out of her daze and grabbed the maid's hand.
The maid was startled by her icy hands: "Miss, why are your hands so cold?"
Sheng Yunzhu didn't speak, but held the maid's hand tightly. After a long time, she finally had a little strength and stood up with the maid's help.
It's been too long, far too long since I've recalled anything from my past life.
So how could she possibly lose now that she's come this far in this life? If she loses, just like in her last life, she'll be unwilling to accept it until the day she dies.
……
Lu Yangyang returned to her courtyard and it took her a while to calm down.
Master rushed off to the border, and Sheng Junyi also came to ask her about the border affairs. It must be that her elder brother's memorial had already been delivered to the Emperor.
The Emperor has already sent people to Yangguan City to investigate this matter, and it seems unlikely that he will let it go easily.
Thus, those who want to take the life of a big brother are completely miscalculating.
Lu Yangyang finally felt a little relieved.
Thanks to the method my aunt gave me, otherwise, if the plague had spread to the border, His Majesty's current approach would probably not have been to send people to investigate the truth, but to completely seal off Yangguan City, turning it into a lonely city that could only wait to die.
At that time, the eldest brother will only have one fate: to "die on the battlefield".
Fortunately, the gamble paid off.
I wonder how my aunt is doing. It's been almost two years since she left Qinghe Village. I wonder if she's doing well, or if she's thought of me.
And the scholar next door, he should have passed the imperial examination by now, right? She's already sent him books and money; if he still fails, it will be too embarrassing.
And her friends, they should have all received the money she sent, right?
She doesn't have the ability to bring them all to the capital yet, but one day, when she has established herself in the capital, she will definitely bring them all over.
Lu Yangyang calmed herself down and, once she was completely composed, she pulled out a medical record book from her desk and began to read it. Wen Yu had traveled all over the country over the years and encountered many illnesses. This record book of his completely captivated Lu Yangyang. One day, she wanted to have her own medical record book, just like her master.
Time flies, and it's already February of next year.
As the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Sheng's mansion, Sheng Yunzhu is now one of the most prominent noble ladies in the capital. Her coming-of-age ceremony has undoubtedly attracted countless people's attention. However, strangely enough, it is already February, and there are not many days left until the coming-of-age ceremony, but the invitation from the Duke of Sheng's mansion has not yet been sent out.
Every spring is a time of frequent banquets in the capital.
From February onwards, banquets of all sizes were held one after another. So when the first spring banquet arrived, the most discussed topic was Sheng Yunzhu's coming-of-age ceremony.
The largest theater in the capital is called Xianyin Pavilion, where a new play has reportedly just been staged.
Princess Qing'an hosted her first Spring Festival Banquet this year and specially invited the Xianyin Pavilion to perform a new play at the banquet, attracting countless guests.
What's even more noteworthy is that the Third Prince actually came with Sheng Yunzhu.
