Chapter 104 Blade
Chapter 104 Blade
"Second Miss, what's the point of you saying so much? Just tell me the truth. Are you going to give me the money or not?"
The middle-aged man was getting impatient and spoke again to incite all the farmers in the crowd, "Fellow villagers, don't be fooled by Second Miss Shen. I heard from the people in the Shen Mansion that this Second Miss is extremely cruel and even dared to whip her own eldest sister. In addition, there was a maid named Xiangyue who served her and was killed by her!"
Who would have thought that this seemingly weak Second Miss Shen was such a cruel and ruthless person? Everyone present looked at Shen Qingyu with resentment, as if she had done something that was against the will of heaven and earth and took human life lightly.
"Nonsense, our Second Miss is not that kind of person, don't throw dirty water on her!"
"The Second Miss is a good person!"
Xiang He, the youngest and usually very timid one, stood up and stood in front of Shen Qingyu without hesitation to speak for her.
Shen Qingyu was very touched. With the three of them by her side, what did she have to be afraid of?
These people would not listen to Shen Qingyu's explanation at all. They just wanted things to get out of hand so they could go back and report back.
The crowd was in chaos and the situation seemed to be out of control.
"Second Miss, be careful!"
Uncle Tian and his men protected Shen Qingyu and helped them retreat, but the group of people who led the trouble came forward aggressively and knocked them to the ground with a punch.
Uncle Tian and several servants of the Shen family who were loyal to Shen Qingyu tried their best to hold back the troublemakers, "Second Miss, please leave quickly and leave us alone!"
It’s such a mess!
Shen Qingyu watched as Uncle Tian and several others were trampled under the feet of those people and beaten until they bled. The farmers whom she treated kindly on weekdays, because of the instigation of those troublemakers, thought that she, Shen Qingyu, was inhumane and not only withheld their wages, but also colluded with government officials to oppress them. They were even more angry and wanted to seek revenge on her.
"Heh...hahaha..." Shen Qingyu suddenly burst into laughter, but this laughter was too sad, crazy and mad, not like what a fourteen-year-old lady from a noble family should laugh.
His eyes were red and his laughter was so shrill that it actually scared those people to stop.
"I want to see what you can do to me today!"
The woman's eyes were sharp and cold, as if they came from hell. Shen Qingyu had experienced everything. Now, in order to survive, what else in this world could scare her?
"Second Miss Shen, you are asking for trouble! Brothers, if it were me, we would tie up this second lady and send her directly to the Shen family, and let the master of the Shen family make the decision for us and judge the case! Why is a yellow-haired girl holding back our money? Brothers, what do you say?"
If she was tied up and taken back to the Shen family, everyone in Jinling Mansion would see the second daughter of the Shen family in such an embarrassed state, and her reputation would be completely ruined.
Even if I want to go out again in the future, I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold my head up in front of others.
Aunt Liu's calculations are really ringing loudly.
The situation was becoming more and more chaotic, but Xiangyun, Xiangyu and Xianghe were protecting Shen Qingyu tightly, not letting her suffer any harm.
"It's not that the Second Miss withheld your money, it's really not that!"
"This matter has nothing to do with Second Miss! Please let Second Miss go, she is innocent!"
A strong wind blew up, blowing up her long black hair and making it dance wildly in the air.
Under her collar and sleeves, Shen Qingyu's bare hands were extremely cold and gradually became numb until she had no feeling at all.
Shen Qingyu's eyes were filled with anger, "You're looking for death!"
A silver light flashed by, and the middle-aged man who had just approached Shen Qingyu suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, covered in blood.
At this time, everyone discovered that the frail Second Miss Shen actually carried a sharp weapon with her. She held the dagger that could cut through iron like mud in her bare hands and stabbed the middle-aged man without hesitation, then quickly pulled it out. The dagger was stained with blood, but she remained calm and showed no fear at all.
"Killed!"
"He killed someone!"
The person who was stirring up trouble quickly said, "I told you that the second young lady of the Shen family is a ruthless person, and she has killed people like crazy!"
"Shut up!"
Shen Qingyu pointed the blade at him, "I am the daughter of the Shen family in Jinling Prefecture. How dare he, a man of low status, approach me so boldly? Not to mention stabbing him, even if I want to kill him today and make a scene in the government office, he deserves it!"
As he spoke, Shen Qingyu pressed on, "Let me ask you, who gave you the guts to force me without regard for status or law?"
These people originally thought that Shen Qingyu was a weak young lady from a noble family, who would be scared and surrender obediently when she saw someone making trouble. However, no one expected that this Second Miss Shen was not afraid of death, and even had murderous intent in her eyes. As long as anyone approached her, she would dare to kill in public.
Although the imperial law stipulates that killing a person means paying with one's life, now there are nearly a hundred of them threatening a girl who has not yet reached the age of marriage, and this girl is the second daughter of the Shen family in Jinling Prefecture. If she says that she had to kill in order to protect her innocence, this can be justified in the eyes of the government.
Besides, the person who ordered them to cause trouble only asked them to ruin Miss Shen's reputation, but did not say that he wanted to kill Miss Shen. If Miss Shen died, they would be in trouble.
There was a hint of cruelty and bloodthirstiness in Shen Qingyu's smile.
"God is above, the earth is my witness, I dare to swear on the entire Shen family that if I withhold your wages, then all of us in the Shen family will die miserably, and the Shen family will be extinct from now on. In this Jinling Mansion, there will no longer be any of our Shen family!"
When these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.
What a cruel and vicious oath. I have never seen anyone use such a vicious oath to curse his own family to be extinct and all his blood relatives to die a miserable death!
The people who started the riot were frightened. After such a poisonous oath, who would dare to question the Second Miss Shen? The Shen family has plenty of money, why should they be cursed with no descendants just because of a small amount of wages owed to these farmers? It is simply not worth it.
Others began to wonder, could it be that they had really wronged Second Miss Shen?
With her bare hands tightly grasping her sleeves, she slowly wiped the blood off the dagger, then Shen Qingyu walked over confidently, forcing those who had surrounded her to retreat step by step.
She was not afraid that the Shen family would be extinct. It would be better if all those people died. Anyway, Shen Youhong was dead, and the Shen family had little to do with her. In the Shen family mansion, there were many people who wanted her dead, so why should she pretend to be kind and leave them a way to survive?
