Chapter 304 Narrow-minded
Chapter 304 Narrow-minded
After Shen Jingyu was thrown back into the woodshed, Zhou Qiwen 'thoughtfully' sent a doctor to check her pulse. After confirming that she was not in good condition, she let her rest for a few hours.
Shen Jingyu was still feeling both cold and hot, huddled in a corner of the woodshed, shivering.
But fortunately, she finally had a chance to catch her breath, at least to rest for a while...
But what she didn't expect was that God didn't intend to let her go.
Soon, the door of the firewood room was opened, and Chai Bin strode in with two guards. He looked at Shen Jingyu, whose face was pale and lips were purple, and couldn't help but sneered: "Isn't this the future consort of the eighth prince?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two people behind him laughed out loud.
"Master Chai, are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong person? The Eighth Prince likes the elegant and noble Miss Shen from the famous Dongjing City. How could it be the one in front of you..."
The guard paused, as if he didn't know how to describe it, but he couldn't hide the sneer and irony in his eyes.
Chai Bin sneered and said, "You don't know this, this is the eldest daughter of our Shen family!"
Shen Jingyu kept her lips tightly closed and said nothing. She didn't know when she had offended Chai Bin to make him hate her so much.
But then she changed her mind and thought about how Shen Jing'an had done something bad to Chai Bin. She became angry and then she understood.
Seeing that she remained silent, Chai Bin did not waste any more words. After all, Nanny Cui did not give him much time, and this was because he was the prince's relative.
Chai Bin waved to the two people behind him. They stepped forward and let go of the sacks in their hands. In an instant, more than twenty black mice jumped out of the sacks one after another. On the other side, many spotted snakes made a hissing sound and immediately drilled into the haystack in the woodshed.
"what--!!!"
When Shen Jingyu saw clearly what it was, she jumped up in an instant and let out a scream of fear.
The face that had always been calm and composed finally showed a rare look of panic and fear.
Shen Jingyu's face was pale and she was frightened. She didn't know where the strength came from in her drowsy body. She lifted up her skirt and jumped up with all her strength without caring about her image.
“Ahh! Get out of here!!!”
Shen Jingyu was frightened. Intense fear and nausea attacked her tired body madly.
Chai Bin sneered when he saw this scene. Although he did not take revenge on Shen Jingan, after all, Shen Jingyu was his sister from the same mother, and he could always vent his anger.
"Since Miss Shen is a woman, I, Chai Bin, will not bother with you. I will spare your life today. If Miss Shen has any grievances, you can come back and settle the score with the Second Young Master of your Shen family."
Chai Bin's words were very clear. Shen Jingyu hid in the corner, trembling.
She stared at a flower snake crawling towards her on the ground, her lips trembling slightly: "Master Chai became famous at a young age, but I didn't expect him to be so narrow-minded."
Chai Bin sneered, "Ms. Shen should be grateful that I, Chai Bin, am narrow-minded, not vindictive."
After saying this, Chai Bin looked at Shen Jingyu deeply, then turned and left.
Shen Jingyu, who originally thought she could take a break, looked at the flower snakes and mice running around in the woodshed. Not to mention resting, her nerves were tense the whole time, fearing that she would be pounced on by the mice and flower snakes if she was not careful.
The guards outside the door only heard a woman's shrill screams coming from the woodshed from time to time.
One of them turned his head and looked through the crack in the door, and whispered, "Is he going to die from all this trouble?"
"No, Master Chai said that at most he was scared, and the snake is not poisonous."

Nightfall was an endless torture for Shen Jingyu. After "resting" in the woodshed for two hours, she was taken back to the dark room to copy Buddhist scriptures.
The one who is different is Shen Jingzhen who is far away from Zhuangzi.
Shen Jingzhen's life in the manor was not easy, even though Qin Xuerong spent a lot of money to manage her.
But the people in this village are all rough people who are greedy for money and take advantage of the situation.
If she was given money, she would be smiled at for a few days and given a few good meals. But once the money was not replenished, they would order her to do rough work. They are totally a group of ungrateful people who can never be tamed!
Shen Jingzhen was extremely annoyed. Not only was there no one to serve her here, but the food, clothing and other expenses were incomparable to those in the mansion. More importantly, there was endless work to do.
But this day was different for Shen Jingzhen.
This day made her feel that all the hardships she had endured here were worth it!
It was late at night when Shen Jingyu finished collecting the grains. She listened to the steward's cursing voice and walked towards her room with an expressionless face.
It's not like she hasn't made a fuss before, but no matter how she does it, it doesn't help.
She always thought that when she returned to the mansion, she would definitely teach these slaves a lesson!
But every time she made a fuss, she was either insulted or assigned more work.
Cleaning the manure pit, making fire, chopping wood, washing clothes...
In just over half a month, she was exhausted from the wind and sun, and a thin layer of calluses grew on her hands, making them much rougher.
Shen Jingzhen walked back tiredly. It was already dark. In the past two days, Qin Xuerong had not bothered to send anyone to deliver silver to her. Perhaps she felt that the silver in her hands was enough, but she had already spent a lot of money. People here were keeping an eye on the silver in her hands every day, so she had to keep some silver as a backup.
At this moment, Shen Jingzhen saw a pool of blood on the ground.
She frowned and looked forward, and saw a figure lying in the withered yellow grass that was almost covered with frost.
Her heart tightened and she was frightened. She looked around and subconsciously took two steps back.
The man was covered in blood, and it was unclear whether he was dead or alive...
It’s so cold today, even if he doesn’t die, he probably won’t survive until tomorrow morning.
Shen Jingzhen staggered back a few steps, feeling unlucky. Of course, she didn't intend to meddle in this matter.
But after walking more than ten meters, she suddenly stopped. There was no other reason, but she suddenly remembered the badge hanging on the man's waist, which looked like the badge of the Palace Army.
And Brother Feng is the deputy commander of the Palace Front Division...
Thinking of this, Shen Jingzhen's heartbeat quickened, and she suddenly ran back like crazy. Right now, she couldn't get any news about Brother Bochang, but if that person was from the Palace Front Department, and if she could save him, then she would be able to get news about Brother Feng...
Thinking of this, Shen Jingzhen was both excited and thrilled.
Not long after, she turned back to the previous place and soon saw the figure in the haystack again.
She held her breath, holding a dim lantern, and stepped forward cautiously: "Are you still alive?"
Shen Jingzhen spoke tentatively, and seeing that the other party did not move, she squatted down and reached out to push the man on the ground. As she pushed, the man's arm fell off and he turned over. Then, under the bright moonlight, a face that she had been thinking about day and night appeared.
