READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 24: Women's Difficulties
As soon as the two of them walked around the corner, they saw Mu Lingyue's thin back and slightly trembling body, which became even more distressing.
"Second sister!"
Mu Lingxi whispered and trotted towards Mu Lingyue.
Hearing Mu Lingxi's voice, Mu Lingyue stiffened, then quickly wiped away her tears, turned around and smiled at Mu Lingxi, "Why did you come to such a remote place?"
Mu Lingyue's expression was the same, as if nothing had happened just now, but her cheeks were full of red marks, but she couldn't hide them at all.
Mu Lingxi's eyes were full of heartache, "Second sister, you don't have to hide it from me. I just heard it with my own ears. Second brother-in-law is really going too far."
Hearing Mu Lingxi mention He Wensheng, Mu Lingyue's eyes flashed with a hint of undetectable fear, but she recovered after a moment and caressed the top of Mu Lingxi's hair lovingly. She didn't know whether she was talking to Mu Lingxi or not. I said to myself, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore."
Looking at Shen Qing walking over, Mu Lingyue bowed and said, "Lingyue has met the young lady."
Shen Qing's eyes stopped on her slightly swollen cheeks, and his eyebrows were slightly condensed, "Young lady, there is no need to be polite."
Shen Qing led the two of them towards the Royal Garden. Mu Lingyue was very quiet along the way, only responding to Mu Lingxi's questions from time to time.
Shen Qing seemed to see his former self, forbearing, silent, and letting her husband's family absorb all of her blood.
However, Shen Qing was luckier than her. With the support of the Yining Marquis Mansion, Mu Ziqian did not dare to do anything too extreme.
"Don't you want to resist, Miss Second?"
Shen Qing suddenly spoke, and Mu Lingyue was startled, but then she laughed miserably, "I'm just a concubine. Even if I want to resist, how can I have the strength to resist?"
Mu Lingyue resisted, but what she received was even more brutal beatings and insults.
It's not like she hasn't asked Yanglinghou Mansion for help, but apart from adding a little more worry to Aunt Liang, it has no effect at all.
Marquis Yangling will not care about her situation at all. As a concubine, the meaning of her existence is to become a tool for family marriage. As for whether she lives well or poorly in her husband's family, it all depends on her own luck. However, she Very bad luck.
Shen Qing stopped suddenly and turned to look at Mu Lingyue, "What if I am willing to help you?"
Mu Lingyue's expression froze, and after a moment she asked with disbelief, "Really?"
Shen Qing nodded, "I will be your backer, but you still need to walk the rest of the way step by step. Whether you can gain a foothold in the He family depends entirely on you."
Seeing Shen Qing's seriousness, Mu Lingyue's eyes suddenly turned red. After a year of marrying into the He family, this was the first time someone said they would help her get out of her current predicament.
Mu Lingyue knelt in front of Shen Qing, her eyes full of determination, "Young Madam saved me from fire and water, from now on Lingyue will do her best for Young Madam."
Shen Qing chuckled, "There's no need to be so serious."
After finishing his words, he stretched out his hand towards Mu Lingyue.
Mu Lingyue's eyes glowed, and a ray of hope finally rose again.
Two lines of clear tears fell from the corners of Mu Lingyue's eyes, and then she solemnly placed her hand on Shen Qing's palm.
Shen Qing lifted her up, looked into her eyes, and said seriously every word, "The world is unfair, women are in trouble, we can't change it, but you have to remember, no matter when and where you are, don't let yourself despair. If you are sinking, no one can be your salvation, so be your own salvation.”
Her heartstrings were touched, and Mu Lingyue burst into tears and nodded heavily to Shen Qing.
After calming down, Mu Lingyue told Shen Qing and Mu Lingxi what happened today.
It turned out that a few days ago, He Wensheng fell in love with the second young lady of the Yin family in Jingzhao Mansion and wanted to take her as his concubine, so he ordered Mu Lingyue to come to propose marriage for him.
But the second young lady of the Yin family in Jingzhao Prefecture was a direct descendant and the king of the family. How could she commit herself to being a concubine? Mu Lingyue made it clear that this was inappropriate, but what she got was a beating and scolding from He Wensheng.
But despite this, Mu Lingyue still did not go to the Yin Mansion in Jingzhao Mansion to deliver the letter of appointment to him.
Because Mu Lingyue knew that this matter was simply nonsense. If He Wensheng came to visit rashly as he wished, not only would nothing be achieved, but the entire Jingzhao Mansion would be offended.
However, He Wensheng didn't care about this at all. He only knew that Mu Lingyue disobeyed his order, so he insulted and beat her several times. This morning, the two of them entered the palace together, and He Wensheng saw the graceful second lady of the Yin family of Jingzhao Mansion. The figure immediately became angry and took Mu Lingyue to a secret place, where she was humiliated again.
Shen Qing and Mu Lingyue knew what happened next.
After hearing this, Mu Lingxi felt a surge of energy and blood. In the past, she only knew that Mu Lingyue was not having a good life in the He family, but she never expected that it would be so bad.
Mu Lingyue has not yet said that because of He Wensheng's displeasure and connivance, the concubines in the family dared to humiliate and slap her at will, and even the somewhat powerful servants in the house did not treat her as their master.
These were only on the surface. As for the secret gossip, Mu Lingyue didn't dare to mention it for fear of dirtying the ears of Shen Qing and Mu Lingxi.
The He family is much scarier than the tiger and wolf den.
Shen Qing sneered disdainfully, "He really dares to think about it."
Seeing that the number of people in front of him gradually increased, Shen Qing said one last sentence, "Tomorrow I will go to He's house to let them know that there are people behind you. In the future, you can return all the humiliations and humiliations generously. ”
Mu Lingyue's eyes were full of gratitude and she responded lightly.
Shen Qing looked at the time and saw that there was still some time before the banquet started, so she led the two of them to the secret place of the Imperial Garden.
There were many people coming today, and there would be no shortage of messy troubles. Shen Qing didn't want to be involved in them.
But Shen Qing didn't go looking for trouble, but trouble came to her on its own initiative.
As soon as the three of them walked through the large sea of jasmine flowers, they saw a small crowd gathered in front of them. Shen Qing turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly heard a familiar female voice, "You clearly know that I have an engagement with the third son of the Shangshu Mansion, but you still want to get close to him. Do you think you are a lowly person?"
The voice was sharp and full of momentum. Shen Qing immediately recognized that it was Gu Tingshuang.
Mu Lingxi glanced over there with some curiosity, but only saw half of a panicked little face.
Then came another woman who was obviously at a disadvantage to explain, "I didn't, it was the third son Cui who took the initiative to come and talk to me, I..."
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by a loud slap.
"How dare you quibble! Your mother is a vixen who wants to be a concubine. You are not a good person either. You are so shameless to seduce others at such a young age!"
After Gu Tingshuang finished speaking, there was a booing voice, "Why don't you kneel down and kowtow to Sister Tingshuang, maybe she will be merciful and allow you to marry her."
The voice of explanation sounded again, "I didn't seduce Mr. Cui San, I won't be a concubine, and you are not allowed to scold my mother!"
The voice gradually became louder, sounding like she was going to resist, but she was greeted by another slap.
Shen Qing's expression turned cold, and she pushed through the crowd and walked directly towards the three people in the center.
Seeing Shen Qing walking towards her, the anger on the face of the woman surrounded in the center disappeared instantly, and then she said in some surprise, "Eldest sister?"
