The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 254: Caught in the Cave

When Shen Wen saw that they were the two maids Shiqin and Shihua, he did not take their arrogance seriously. However, when he thought of the young master Qiu Shui hiding in the mountains, he felt that he could not show his strength yet. He had to act realistically to kill these two women and deceive Qiu Shui.

Shen Wen said, "You? How dare you come here? Oh, you were driven out by the Shen family. Could it be that you became bandits in Hongwan Mountain? This doesn't make sense. You are slaves. Your master still holds your indentures. You should go back to the Huang family to make a living."

Shiqin was furious when she heard him talk about being kicked out of the Shen Mansion. She snorted and said, "It's all your fault. I didn't expect you to be so vicious. Not only did you make the Shen family prosperous, but you also didn't let our Huang, Wang, Wu, and Hu families go. Even now, you are still gloating over our misfortune. You are simply inhuman."

Shi Hua said, "You are so vicious that even God can't stand it. God has a good heart and let us run into you here. Now that you fall into our hands, you can forget about survival."

Shen Wen said: "Do you still want to murder me?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Shen Wen finished saying this, Shi Hua and Shi Qin drew their swords and looked like they were ready to fight to the death.

Shen Wen said, "You two are really troublemakers. Your masters have fallen into this world one by one, and you two are the ones who have to thank you. If you two hadn't pushed the blame on me and forced me, an honest man who took the blame for you, to fight back, your families wouldn't have fallen so badly. Let me remind you, don't look at me as a weak person who dares to come to this desolate mountain alone. I am not reckless. If you want to kill me, you have to think about the consequences. Let me tell you, I am not a commoner now, I am an official appointed by the emperor. If you dare to kill the official, do you know what the consequences will be?"

The two maids were obviously surprised that Shen Wen was actually a government official. Shiqin was a brave one. She said, "Even if he is a government official, so what? There are only three of us here. We can kill him without anyone noticing and then destroy the body. No one will find the body. Even if someone finds it in a certain time, he will have already become a pile of bones. Who can prove his identity?"

Shen Wen really wanted to applaud this guy. Shen Wen smiled and said, "That makes sense, but how do you know that I really came up the mountain alone? Oh, now that you see no one nearby, is that true? Are you so sure that there is no witness hiding in the dark and observing?"

The two maids exchanged glances when he said this, and indeed they did not dare to really kill Shen Wen.

Shi Hua said to Shi Qin, "There have been many accidents in Hongwan Mountain recently. So many people have disappeared for no reason. We don't need to deal with him any more. He might die in some corner the next moment. Let's go and do our work first."

Shiqin said: "If we don't kill him, God will take him away. Let's go."

In this way, the two maids sheathed their swords and walked away together.

Shen Wen was speechless, they were obviously the bad guys, yet even though they claimed to be good people for ten lifetimes, they scolded him as if he was unforgivable.

Shen Wen continued walking up the mountain leisurely.

After walking about a li road, we sat down to rest on a rock next to an autumn forest.

However, he had just sat down and raised his arm to wipe the sweat off his face when someone slapped him on the back of his neck and he fainted.

Seeing him lying on the ground like a dead man, Shiqin said, "Fool, do you think we won't dare to touch you just because you said a few words to scare us? If my wife hadn't ordered us to capture you alive, we wouldn't bother with this. Now the death penalty can be spared, but you! You can't escape the punishment of living."

Shi Hua said, "Don't be careless. There might be someone watching us from behind. Let's take him back to see the Madam."

Just like that, two maids carried him up and took him away.

Shen Wen was brought to a cave on the mountain by two maids. They put Shen Wen on the ground, and then two servants came to ask about the situation. Shi Qin asked the servants, "Where is the Madam? Where did the Madam go? I brought her a man who can be useful to her."

The servant said, "Madam...her elder brother, Master Hu, finally found us. When he saw Madam running to the mountain, Master Hu angrily dragged Madam to the grass not far away to talk. Seeing Master Hu's angry look, we dared not stop him, and Master Hu did not ask us to follow him. The two girls, go and take a look."

Shiqin and Shihua were originally Hu Xiangxiang's personal maids. It was only when Huang Yulian got married that the two maids were given to Huang Yulian as a dowry and were given to Huang Yulian to serve her.

The servant sighed and said, "Our Madam is so miserable. She is treated like this by her own flesh and blood. Our Madam is not only gentle and kind, but even if she is powerful, she would be helpless."

Shiqin asked the servant to take the unconscious Shen Wen into the cave and tie him up with an iron chain. Then he went to the grassland with Shihua to check on his wife.

From a distance, Master Hu could be heard scolding Hu Xiangxiang. Hu Da said, "You are the one who caused all this trouble. Did you know that my son is missing? I just found out not long ago that he disappeared after coming to Hongwan Mountain. If I knew that my son was captured by that bastard Qu Qiushui, I would tear him into pieces."

When Hu Xiangxiang heard him say this, she was furious. She said, "You said it was me who caused the trouble? Why didn't you say that it was you who separated us? Qiulang and I have already prayed to heaven and earth, and we have a son. If you hadn't been so cruel, my son wouldn't have died. Now Qiulang has escaped death, and he holds a grudge against our Hu family. How can he let us go?"

Hu Yang was so angry that he was about to explode. He kept walking in circles and kept saying, "I should have stabbed that guy a few more times. Why was I careless? Why didn't I stab him a few more times?"

Hu Xiangxiang covered her face with her hands and cried, mumbling: "My son... I feel so sorry for them... My son..."

Hu Yang hated her crying about the son he had with Qiu Shui. He yelled, "Stop crying like that. You've been acting like this to me ever since that day. You've been scheming and pretending to be weak. You've been rebellious since you were a child. I tell you, this is all your own fault. If you want to hate someone, hate yourself for being born into the Hu family..."

Shiqin and Shihua hurriedly persuaded Hu Yang to stop and supported Hu Xiangxiang.

Shi Hua advised, "Master, you can't control your temper again. You know, Madam is ill, and her illness is getting worse. The doctor said that Madam can't be stimulated. Master used to take good care of Madam. Now you've made her angry, and then you feel sorry for her. Why do you have to do this?"

Hu Yang was a rough man, but after listening to Shi Hua's advice, he calmed down and sighed, "It's all my fault, but I'm a man who stands tall and proud, and I just can't control my temper."

After saying this, Hu Yang began to regret and turned away.

Shiqin and Shihua comforted Hu Xiangxiang while helping her back to the cave where they were staying temporarily.

After returning to the cave, he didn't have time to tell Hu Xiangxiang about Shen Wen. He first gave her some sedatives and coaxed her to sleep.

Shiqin and Shihua looked at Hu Xiangxiang's pitiful appearance and felt distressed and aggrieved. They had an inexplicable anger and had no place to vent it. Suddenly, they thought of Shen Wen who was now in their hands.

The two of them ran to a small ear hole inside, one after the other, to look for Shen Wen.

Shen Wen was brought to this cave soberly. He knew that Hu Xiangxiang was related to Master Qiu Shui, and he just wanted to find out the details.

Shiqin and Shihua said to the boy watching the cave entrance, "Is the prisoner still not awake? Go get a bucket of water and pour it over him to wake him up."

The servant immediately responded and went to do it.

Shiqin and Shihua went inside and saw that Shen Wen had woken up. He was sitting on the ground, looking up at where they came from.

Shiqin said with a snort, "Bitch! Didn't expect that you would be caught by us in the end?"

Shen Wen said, "You are not afraid of the imperial court! Aren't you afraid that the officials from my government office will come and beat you up?"

Shi Hua said, "You are about to die, yet you are still here trying to deceive us with sweet words. We have already checked and there are no other officials around here. You went up the mountain alone."

Shen Wen said, "Really? I advise you to look carefully. Maybe they are hiding on purpose and want to catch you red-handed."

Shiqin came here to vent her anger, not to argue with Shen Wen. She was so angry that she grabbed the whip on the ground in the corner of the cave, rushed over and whipped Shen Wen twice.

After these two lashes, Shen Wen's wound immediately bled. Shen Wen had a special physique, and would faint immediately if his body bled, so he fainted this time.

Shiqin had just vented her anger with two whips, and these two whips were just the beginning. She raised the whip again and saw Shen Wen fainted with a dazed look on his face.

Shi Hua squatted down and felt Shen Wen's breath. Seeing Shen Wen's pale face, she said to Shi Qin, "It looks like he is not doing well. We have heard about the life of this Seventeenth Young Master in the Shen Mansion before. He is a very weak and fragile person with a very short life. It is because of his poor life that he has been protected by Old Master Shen, which makes all the young masters and young ladies in the mansion jealous and disgusted."

Shiqin threw away the whip in her hand in disappointment and said, "I only whipped him twice. If he dies, then he dies. Bury him immediately."

Shi Hua said, "Just now you insisted on whipping him twice. Master Hu and Madam were very angry. I think the troubles of several cousins ​​and young masters are all because of Shen Wen. We should send Shen Wen to Master Hu to vent his anger."

When Shiqin thought of the young masters who died or disappeared, her eyes turned red with grief and she cried, "Our family is doomed. I heard that the enemy that Mr. Hu mentioned is even more vicious. What do you think we should do? Is there any way for us to rescue the young masters?"

Shi Hua was also confused. She said worriedly, "Let alone the lives of the young masters, I think Madam is not doing well either. Madam has been through so many life-and-death situations, and I don't know if she can escape this time."
