When Shen Jiayan was brought into the inner room with the help of the housekeeper, he was on his hands and knees. He felt dizzy and there was no strength left in his body.
Yan Shi slowly walked from the main hall and went to stand beside Shen Jiayan. She smiled maliciously and said, “They say that marriage is based on the parents’ orders and the matchmaker’s words. You lost your biological mother when you were young, so the arrangements of your marriage should be left to me, the First Wife.”
“It is said that the Minister of Revenue, Zhang Qianqing has already passed the age of sixty, but still the treasure knife does not age1. According to your identity, you can be sent over to be a little pet, it is even considered as an honor for you. As long as you follow him, you are guaranteed to wear silver and gold, you won’t need to worry about going hungry.”
Shen Jiayan didn’t have the strength to speak and could only use his eyes to indignantly look at her.
Upon seeing this, Yan Shi smiled even more happily instead. Then, she lowered her voice and said in Shen Jiayan’s ear, “Wishing to be the Guo Shi’s apprentice, did you really think that such a lowly person as yourself, is worthy? When your mother was still alive, I made her life a living hell, slowly torturing her to death; I can do the same to you at this very moment. It’s funny how that stupid woman you call your mother, begged me to be good to you as she was on her deathbed. Ah, don’t you think that I’ve been good to you?”
Shen Jiayan never would have expected that there would be an opportunity for him to become absent minded in the middle of Yan Shi’s rambling.
Yan Shi reached out and patted Shen Jiayan’s face, “You’re just like your mother, the only useful thing about you, is your pretty face. It was also rumored that Zhang Qianqing likes to experiment with a lot of different things in bed. Do your best to survive, I’m still counting on you to pave the way for my son’s future after all.
Shen Jiayan closed his eyes and didn’t say a word. His hands were tightly clenched in his sleeve.
As if she had touched something dirty just now, Yan Shi took back her hand and wiped it with a handkerchief. She carelessly said, “Someone come, lock up the Second Young Master and don’t give him any food or water. After that, wait for my orders.”
“Yes.” As soon as Yan Shi’s voice fell, two elderly maid servants who did rough work, came over and detained Shen Jiayan in the side room.
There was nothing in the side room except for a bed and a window. The window was nailed shut by wooden slats and the door was guarded by people. It would be impossible for Shen Jiayan to escape without some outside help.
“This Yan Shi had already planned this a long time ago.” Shen Jiayan sat on the edge of the bed with his eyes half-closed, “I guess that either tonight or tomorrow, she will have me carried out to that Minister of Revenue.”
“In that case, Host, you need to escape as soon as possible before that happens.” The black cat appeared out of thin air and habitually looked for a good position to nest itself on Shen Jiayan’s leg, “We need to look for Fan Yin.”
“There are two people guarding the door and there are four people patrolling. It would not be possible to break through. At this moment, we can only wait and see if the luck bonus has any effect.” After saying these words, Shen Jiayan stopped talking and quietly saved his strength.
Finally in the evening, the waning crescent moon and the remnants of scattered stars flickered in the canopy of the cold black sky.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door and Su Yun’s arrogant voice sounded, “What do you mean by ‘the Madam’s orders cannot be violated’? She’s my mother, will she not listen to me and listen to you servants instead? Open the door, I want to tell my brother some parting words.”
Then the guard whispered a few words but Su Yun’s impatient voice interrupted him, “Can’t open the door? If you still won’t open the door, I will immediately tell my mother that you have the audacity to disobey my orders. Let her have you all flogged to death!”
The guard hesitated for a moment, thinking that the person inside the room was already in a very fragile state. And the Eldest Young Master had always been willful, there won’t be any good results if one didn’t listen to him, so he obediently opened the door for him, “Eldest Young Master, please enter.”
It was only then did Su Yun strutted inside with satisfaction. He saw a round bulge on the bed, and assumed that his second brother was actually hiding under the quilt and crying!
“Really? I think so too.” Shen Jiayan sneaked out from the shadow of the bed and got behind Su Yun. He used a pillowcase to cover Su Yun’s nose and mouth, then he fiercely hit him with a wooden stick he pulled down from the window.
Su Yun didn’t even have the time to groan before he fainted. Shen Jiayan hurriedly began to swap clothes with Su Yun.
It just happened to coincide with the time when the guards were changing shifts. The guard who had secretly let Su Yun inside, softly called out through the door, “Eldest Young Master, if you want to say your parting words, please hurry and do so, then quickly come out!”
Shen Jiayan placed Su Yun on the bed and covered his face with a quilt, then he changed his voice to make a sound, “Hm.”
Those guards were so busy changing shifts, they didn’t discover that the person wearing Su Yun’s clothes had changed.
