Shen Yu knelt down and bowed his head three times in the direction where ZhenBei Wang disappeared.
First bow, to thank the lord for providing shelter, food, clothing and knowledge for him throughout his stay.
Second bow, to thank the lord for giving him sweet dreams of “Separation when alive, but resting in the same grave”* and everlasting marriage.
*This is a Chinese saying that means a strong bond between spouses.
Third bow, to thank the lord for “knocking his head for him to wake up” and since “removing all contract between them”. **
** This is another Chinese saying, Shen Yu is grateful ZhenBei Wang made him realize the truth and his mistakes.
In Shen Yu’s baggage was a large silver ingot, with this he will be able to pick himself and his dignity from dust once more.
There was not much left of the mute slave’s dignity, but unlike before he was not alone anymore.
When ZhenBei Wang took a liking to him, the lord was his savior, protecting him at all cost and providing all that he needed. But when that fondness faded, he was his nightmare, trampling all over him, like he was nothing.
When he left the palace, it was March, warm spring was approaching while the cold winter had passed. Flowers bloomed beautifully and brightly as the scent of sweet floral filled the air.
Facing the busy traffic and the merchants on the street, Shen Yu squinted his eyes in disbelief. His identity has always kept him in the dark, to have freedom now, seems like he had broken into a new world.
A horse galloped in the downtown area and stopped in front of Shen Yu. It was Song Qing.
“Where are you going?” Song Qing worried.
Shen Yu gathered his things and replied in sign language: “Going back to Shen Mansion, his majesty has given me a lot of silver, which should be enough to redeem my mother and myself.”
“You have never walked around the north before, do you know your way back to Shen Mansion?”
Shen Yu was at a loss. He was not familiar with these streets, the alleys were like a maze to Shen Yu. He was so unfamiliar with this area that it became hard for him to journey through.
“Get on, I’ll take you there!”.
Just as Song Qing stretched out his hand and reached out to Shen Yu, a flowery hydrangea caught up behind him, panting and yelling.
“Uncle Song! Don’t you know how to cherish and take care of a jade? Riding that stupid horse that runs so fast, took me long enough to catch up!”.
Hong Lian crouched on his hips, trying to catch his breath, his face flushed as he wiped his sweat indiscriminately.
“I ran more today than I have in a whole year… You evil person, I’m gonna kill you!”
“Why are you here?”
Song Qing was annoyed, Shen Yu was no longer in the palace, but Hong Lian still pestered him.
“To witness you two running away together of course. If I had come any later, would you just run off with him?”
Hong Lian glared at Shen Yu, as if he was the culprit who abducted his husband.
“Nonsense!” Song Qing was annoyed. “Can you control wherever I go?”
With a guaranteed look on Hong Lian’s face he said:
“You! Do you think I wish to be this nosy? Just think about it, if you go with him, how many days will you live before the lord hunts the both of you down?”
Song Qing was taken aback. He didn’t think it through. With the lord’s temperament, he would never let go of those who betrayed him. Acting on impulse may cause harm to Shen Yu.
“I’m sorry, Yu’er…” Song Qing is too guilty to speak.
“It’s okay.” Shen Yu gestured, “Thank you, Brother Song, for taking care of me all this time.”
“If you encounter any trouble in the Shen Mansion, you can come to me!” Song Qing said hurriedly.
Shen Yu smiled and nodded. If all goes well, he will take his mother away from here. The farther the better, the best option is to return to their hometown.
“Stop acting so reluctantly in front of me, it’s making me sick!”
Hong Lian was raging in flames.
Song Qing didn’t bother to pay attention to him, he hired a carriage for Shen Yu, and the carriage left right after. Only then did he converge his mind and ride the horse back to the palace.
“Song Qing! Was your conscience eaten by a dog? You made me run out here just for me to walk all the way back?!”
Hong Lian was furious.
……
As the carriage approached Shen’s Mansion, Shen Yu became more and more anxious.
With his heart in his mouth, he ran into the mansion and knocked on the copper ring *** .
*** A knob used in the past, to announce one’s presence in front of the door.
Shen Yu recognized the person who opened the door, it was Gui Zi. Shen Yu will never forget him. Not to mention that this man was one of the few servants who wanted to take off his clothes back then. Of course Shen Yu remembered.
After seeing Shen Yu, Gui Zi was stunned for a while. He recognized Shen Yu as that little mute slave who used to live in the woodshed at the back. Shen Yu has become even more attractive. Gui Zi was shocked and thought that there was a fairy calling in the door in broad daylight.
“Aren’t you that little mute slave? Be a good boy, no wonder you can replace our eldest lady to get married…
Gui Zi smiled, showing his rotten teeth while gazing at Shen Yu all around, with his eyes full of lust.
“I’m looking for my mother.”
Shen Yu gestured.
“Didn’t you become the male favorite of ZhenBei Wang? How do you dare to come out…”
Gui Zi stared directly at Shen Yu, as if he was about to strip his clothes naked. He failed to get his wish back then. But now that Shen Yu has become more attractive, his evil thoughts have grown. The lord has probably moisturized him very well. As Shen Yu was swaying, Gui Zi’s thoughts were heating up until he couldn’t think of anything else.
“I’m looking for my mother!” Shen Yu gestured again.
“You mean that old lady?” Gui Zi guessed “No problem, as long as you please this brother, brother will surely take you to your mother!”
Gui Zi couldn’t help but wonder what kind of ecstasy is this beauty who even ZhenBei Wang couldn’t let go? If he could taste it once or twice, it wouldn’t be a pity to die.
Shen Yu is not that little mute slave who knows nothing about world affairs anymore. You can tell from Gui Zi’s wretched face what he was thinking about.
“You dare to lay hands on his majesty’s people?!”.
Shen Yu gestured with a solemn face, bitter in his heart. Even if he was out of the palace, still he could only survive under the name of ZhenBei Wang.
