The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 141 The Four Maids

Today, something new happened in the capital of Dajue Kingdom. The son of the famous Duke Shen's family was walking on the busy street with sedan chair bearers carrying a sedan chair.

Some of the strangers were listening attentively to the acquaintances nearby pointing out which one of the sedan chair bearers was themselves. Then they would hang on to the necks and watch the fun as if it were more curious than watching a monkey.

There were also those who didn't like to watch, hiding behind the crowd, gloating and cursing in a low voice: "It serves them right! Who told their masters and servants to bully the common people all day long." Others said: "This is what they call evil pays off. I just asked him to kick over my stall, and now he has run into a tough guy! He deserves his day..."

Shen Maofeng was a healthy man, could he not hear these words? His shoulders were already hurting from the poles of the sedan chair, and when these people saw how miserable he was, he became even more angry. He was ashamed and angry. He lost his balance, let go of the poles, and fell face down on the ground, falling flat on his face, breaking half of his front teeth.

Hearing everyone's laughter, he tried to stand up eagerly despite the pain. When he stood up and touched the blood on his lips, he was so scared that he almost fainted. Then he heard a "chuckling" girl's voice. He looked over and saw who else but Tian Liu'er, whom he had just seen at the gate of the government office? And Jiang Duzhi, although he didn't see him laughing at him, he saw his embarrassed look now.

Shen Maofeng's anger suddenly exploded, and he shouted at the people: "What are you laughing at? Shut up! You are a bunch of lowly people who are worse than dog shit. How dare you laugh at me? I will chop off your heads one by one!"

Such an arrogant momentum actually frightened everyone. The crowd was temporarily quiet for a moment, and then everyone was busy with their own things. Those who should disperse dispersed, and only those who had just arrived were still talking.

As for Shen Wen sitting in the sedan chair, she naturally felt the imbalance caused by Shen Maofeng's fall, but another big hand grabbed the sedan chair pole.

After the sedan chair landed steadily on the ground, the man asked, "Sir, are you okay?"

Just from this one sentence, Shen Wen knew that he was Jin Sheng.

Butler Shen first took a look at Shen Maofeng's injuries, then turned around and asked Shen Wen in the sedan chair "Are you bumped or bruised?". When he heard Shen Wen say "No problem", he asked who the strange Jin Sheng was.

At this time, another woman came over and said to Shen Guanjia: "This is my younger brother. We were the maids and guards of the Seventeenth Young Master. You can ask the Seventeenth Young Master about this matter."

As she spoke, the woman gently lifted the curtain of Shen Wen's sedan chair, allowing her to see her face clearly before saying, "Sir, it's me, Zhinuan."

Shen Wen saw that it was indeed Zhinuan, so he nodded and said to the housekeeper, "Don't worry, housekeeper. These are indeed my maids and guards. Since Brother Nine fell, let my guards carry the sedan chair."

In this way, Shen Maofeng finally ended his humiliating journey of carrying a sedan chair. When the sedan chair was about to set off again, the servant who had dragged the servant into the yamen hurried back. He came to see Shen Maofeng panting heavily. Seeing his embarrassed appearance, he asked stupidly: "What happened to the Ninth Master?"

Shen Maofeng got angry when he saw him. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have been laughed at for carrying the sedan chair. He kicked the dog servant on the leg and cursed: "Where the hell have you been? Why are you back just now?"

The dog slave stammered, "I..."

But his eyes first looked at Butler Shen.

He followed the yamen runners into the prison, and originally wanted to ask the jailer to let him go in to see the son of housekeeper Shen. The purpose of the dog slave's trip was to see the son of housekeeper Shen. He came to pass on a message for the housekeeper, and the meaning of the message was naturally to ask him to hold on, otherwise he would have no choice but to kill himself. However, the master above gave him a direct instruction that he should find a way to kill him when he saw him.

But the dog slave had never expected that the jailer in the Yingtianfu jail was a strict and cautious one, and he sent him out without even letting him see his superior.

The sedan chair set off again and soon arrived at the Shen Mansion.

The gate of the Shen Mansion was opened wide. Shen Wen's sedan chair would have been carried directly in, but there was already someone waiting at the door. It was the distinguished second son of the Shen family, Shen Shuofeng, also known as Shen Yefeng.

Shen Shuofeng is the second son of the second master, and Shen Yefeng is the second son of the third master. These two young masters are the most opposite pair among so many brothers. Shen Shuofeng is a bookworm who loves to study ancient books all his life. He has a straightforward personality and is usually taciturn, but when he encounters injustice, he likes to reason and preach, making everyone afraid to pay attention to him.

Shen Yefeng hates reading, but he acts like a scholar, showing off his family's reputation as a model of literature and etiquette. Because of his gentle temperament, easy-going and no temper, he is always surrounded by a large group of poets and writers. In fact, people who are not close to him cannot see what kind of person he is. He is a beast with a rotten heart. Others don't know this person, but Shen Wen sees through him.

People say that boys and girls should not sit at the same table when they are seven years old. This boy climbed into the bed where his father and the concubine slept at night when he was eight years old. At that time, the concubine was furious and angry afterwards. Relying on the face of her mother's family, she reported it to the old man in person. Shen Wen was still young at that time, but he could remember things. He didn't remember how the old man dealt with it specifically, but the concubine disappeared later. This also happened when he was eight years old. When he was fourteen, the same thing happened again. I don't know if it was because he did this too many times or his father didn't love the concubine anymore, but Shen Yefeng took the concubine back to his room in a dignified manner. This time Shen Wen didn't see it with his own eyes, but heard it from the maid.

Shen Wen had four maids serving him before and after he arrived at the Shen Mansion. When he was young, they were Ping'er and Sui'er. After only a few years, these two maids were already thirteen or fourteen years old, so the old man replaced them with Xian'er and Gao'er.

Thinking of these four maids, Shen Wen couldn't help but sigh. In fact, he didn't have much affection for these maids. None of them were loyal to him as their master. It could be said that they all had the same thoughts as Madam Zhou and were all Madam Zhou's accomplices in torturing him.

Ping'er was imprisoned, Xian'er was murdered, and what about the other two? I can't guess, Gao'er...

Thinking of the appearance of these four maids, Shen Wen realized that each of them was a beauty. Ping'er had fair skin and always wore a long-sleeved gown at that time, which covered her whole body tightly, but the little bit of her neck and hands that was exposed was enough to attract comments and envy from the servants in the courtyard. So later, she was favored by Shen Yuanyi, who was now in the palace, and was brought into the palace.

Xian'er had a pair of fox eyes, long and narrow, bright. She just stood there quietly without saying a word, and one could read a lot of meanings just by looking at her eyes. However, she was timid and very obedient. She had a deep-rooted slave nature in her bones. She was sincere to all the masters in this mansion, but she looked down on Shen Wen.

Sui'er is tall, with big eyes and a high nose bridge. Whether in her temperament or appearance, she has a bit of heroic spirit that can be distinguished from the rouge, and is also very lovable. This girl doesn't talk much, and she has even less to talk to Shen Wen. All day long, she talks about what the master eats, drinks, and wears, and other things that need to be said. At other times, she has a cold face, and it is hard to tell whether she is happy or not. I remember that she was about nine years old at that time. She was bought from the Women's Art Museum in the south. She is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy, painting, music, and dance. Shen Wen has never seen her perform, but heard about it from others.

Gao'er is like a wonderful person, with almond eyes and rosy cheeks, a mouth that is neither too big nor too small, and she speaks in a sweet and pleasant way. She is the one who talks to Shen Wen the most. Sometimes she doesn't respect him as her master in her words, but it doesn't hurt him. The only bad thing about her is that she is arrogant and always thinks that she will have a good life in the future without worrying about food and drink. In fact, she has the capital, just based on her plump and unique figure, soft body, and big breasts and buttocks that can't be covered.

Thinking of Gao'er holding a handkerchief in her mouth while choosing her ideal man under the fruit tree in the garden, Shen Wen curled the corners of his mouth.

But this reverie was interrupted when Shen Yefeng called out "Seventeenth Brother".

He lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and looked at Shen Wen. When he met Shen Wen's gaze, he actually threw her a coquettish look. He thought it was a romantic affair between him and her, and he almost felt like bubbling with joy.

Shen Wen felt disgusted and vomited all the wontons in his stomach.

It almost sprayed on Shen Yefeng's face, luckily the boy pulled away early.

The boy realized belatedly that she had really vomited, and bent down and asked with concern: "Hey! Seventeenth brother, are you okay?" Then he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to him.

Shen Wen took it and wiped his mouth, including the stains on the sedan. He handed it back to him and said, "It's okay. Maybe the sedan was shaking and I was uncomfortable. I accidentally vomited."

Shen Yefeng looked at the dirty handkerchief and felt so disgusted that he didn't dare to take it, but he couldn't help but take it. After a moment of awkwardness, he carefully picked up a clean corner with two fingers, took it, and then threw it away.

Shen Wen got off the sedan chair and stood still before formally greeting Shen Shuofeng, "Hello, second brother."

Shen Shuofeng was stunned by her unique greeting. He blinked twice and snorted through his nose as a response.

Then Shen Shuofeng said in a cold voice: "Come with me to see my grandfather." Without even looking at her, he walked forward to lead the way.

Doctor Sun took a step forward and whispered in Shen Wen's ear, "Do you want me to follow you? Or I can find an excuse to get away with it. Let's go back to your cheap father's place and rest."

Shen Wen said: "No, you can do whatever you want, just ask my maid and guards to follow."

Doctor Sun looked at the stupid and dazed Jin Sheng and didn't recognize him. He should have known that he was the one who wanted to kill him. He said to Shen Wen, "Is this guy sent by Second Master Chu? He doesn't look like him. If he wants to send someone to you, he will send someone smart. Who else would he send to you? Is it Boss Ji or Third Master Ji?"

They were there, whispering for too long and were discovered by Shen Shuofeng, who turned back and urged Shen Wen to leave quickly. Shen Wen then rolled his eyes at Doctor Sun and left without explaining anything.

Shen Wen followed Shen Shuofeng and Shen Yefeng to the villa of the old Marquis Shen.
