Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone
Chapter 20: Zhongyuanbo
"Brother!" Zhongyuan Bo, who was busy supervising the soldiers to register the people, suddenly heard a familiar shout.
He turned his head and saw a middle-aged woman with dishevelled hair and dirty face. He squinted his eyes for a long time before he recognized that it was her half-sister who was married to Shi Zhengde, a doctor in the Ministry of Works.
"Why are you here? Where is Shi Zhengde? Is he dead?" Earl Zhongyuan asked Fang.
Fang was very happy to see that her elder brother recognized her. Just as she was about to speak, Shi Zhengdra pulled her behind him.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, I'm here! May I ask how the emperor is? I've been looking for you for a long time, and I thought... fortunately you were all okay." Shi Zhengde said flatteringly.
"The emperor is naturally fine, but he is no longer Emperor Tai'an, but Emperor Yongchang." Earl Zhongyong said lightly, but the meaning of his words still shocked Shi Zhengde and others.
Emperor Yongchang? So Emperor Tai'an also died in this disaster?
As a great king, even if he did not have the literary and military wisdom of Emperor Taizu, he died without even a proper funeral. I don't know if it is tragic or not.
"Then this Emperor Yongchang... which prince is he?" Emperor Tai'an has only been on the throne for ten years, and the eldest prince has just come of age. Could he be the eldest prince?
"Why are you asking so many questions? If you want to go with me to see His Majesty, then keep your mouth shut."
"By the way, Shi Zhengde, is this how you take care of your wife and children? Why did my sister become so embarrassed? Where are Wanqing and Chengzhi? Why didn't they see it?"
Earl Zhongyuan looked down on Shi Zhengde very much. Everyone knew that he only relied on his looks to make a living, and he was able to climb to the position of Langzhong of the Ministry of Works only by relying on nepotism.
If Fang was his biological sister, he would definitely not allow her to marry such a man.
But even if Fang was not his biological sister, she was still a member of the Zhongyuan Marquis's Mansion and could not be bullied by outsiders.
When Shi Wanqing heard Uncle Zhongyuan mention her, she quickly stepped forward and said, "Uncle, I'm here. I'm Wanqing!"
When Lord Zhongyuan saw the scars on Shi Wanqing's face, a trace of disgust flashed across his eyes, but he still restrained himself and asked patiently: "Wanqing? Why is your face like this?"
Shi Wanqing immediately burst into tears and just shook her head without saying anything. If she had acted like this in the past before her face was disfigured, she might have aroused some sympathy, but now this look was even more unbearable in the eyes of Earl Zhongyuan.
Fang saw the disdain in her eldest brother's eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward to block Shi Wanqing, and smiled ingratiatingly at her eldest brother: "It was because there was an accident during the earthquake, and Chengzhi's leg was also injured. Could you trouble your eldest brother to find a doctor to take a look?"
Zhongyuan Bo looked at his sister who had given him money from time to time before and finally gave her some face: "Forget it, just follow me."
Fang happily responded repeatedly: "Hey! Hey! Thank you, big brother."
Then he pulled Shi Zhengde along and prepared to bring Shi Chengzhi over.
As soon as Shi Zhengde walked in front of Shi Anan, he could no longer hide his smug face. He had been feeling very depressed during this period of time. Since he became a doctor in the Ministry of Works, he had never been humiliated like this, especially by his own daughter.
"Your stepmother's eldest brother is here, and the court is still here. If you kneel down and admit your mistakes, I will forgive your disrespectful attitude and find a way to take you and your aunt away."
"And you servants, you'd better wait. Once order is restored, I'll show you how I punish you!"
Shi Zhengde said this proudly. Fang frowned after hearing this. Although all the food and daily necessities during this period were found by Shi Anan, it did not mean that she liked this concubine's daughter. She did not want to bring these people together, but she had been accustomed to listening to Shi Zhengde over the years, so she did not refute it at the first time.
Seeing that Shi Zhengde had regained power, some timid servants immediately knelt down and begged Shi Zhengde to forgive them.
The main reason was that they had indeed sold themselves to the Shi family. Once the court restored order, they, as slaves, would certainly not be able to fight against the officials.
No matter what Mu Shan said, he couldn't control them now. These servants whose spines had been bent still refused to listen. Mu Shan could only look at them angrily.
"Okay, I can forgive you and take you with me, but now you should slap yourselves in the face twenty times as punishment for your bad mouth. Do you accept that? Oh, and I want to hear the sound."
Shi Zhengde looked down at the servants who were kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.
"Yes, yes, we'll fight, we'll fight ourselves." Seeing that the master was willing to take them with him, several servants hurriedly began to slap themselves.
Seeing this scene, Shi Zhengde nodded with satisfaction. That's it. This is the dignity that the head of the family should have.
Then he turned to look at Shi Anan, Mu Shan and others: "What about you, have you thought about it?"
Mu Shan was just a long-term worker hired by the Shi family. He was a living indenture and could leave at any time. When he heard Shi Zhengde's words, he just sneered and ignored him, showing with practical actions that he did not need to beg him.
The only two remaining servants who did not beg for mercy had signed a contract to sell themselves, but they had a good relationship with Mu Shan and were brave. This time they were unwilling to continue following Shi Zhengde no matter what, so their reaction was the same as Mu Shan's.
Seeing this scene, Shi Zhengde laughed angrily again: "Okay, okay."
He didn't bother with these untouchables.
"What about you?" Shi Zhengde turned his head and looked at Shi Anan again. This evil girl had made him very angry before.
"What have I done wrong? Did I not take care of what you ate or what you drank?" Shi Anan looked at Shi Zhengde coldly.
"What's your attitude? This is your mistake. You don't respect your father, your mother, your brother, or your sister." Shi Zhengde said.
"How could Third Sister be disrespectful to you? Everything you eat and drink was obtained by Third Sister with great effort. How can you say that to Third Sister!" Before Shi Anan could say anything, Shi Chengze jumped out like a little cannonball.
After spending a few days together, he also discovered that his father was a useless person.
When his mother was alive, he obeyed them in everything. But after his mother died, he was even unwilling to go to the memorial service. Shi Chengze was also disappointed with his father.
"What's the matter with you? Just be good and come with me later." Shi Zhengde still has some feelings for his son Shi Chengze.
Mainly because he is a son, influenced by the old lady, Shi Zhengde is actually patriarchal in nature.
"I won't go with you, I want to follow my third sister!" Shi Chengze said firmly.
When Shi Anan saw Shi Chengze’s protection, her heart warmed, thinking that her rescue was not in vain.
"I won't go with you. Besides, if you want to write a letter to my aunt to release me, just write it now!" She had given Shi Zhengde a chance. If he continued to act like a demon, she would no longer care about her father.
Shi Anan turned her head and glanced at Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu noticed her gaze and smiled gently at her soothingly.
She felt relieved because she didn't see any opposition or sadness in Aunt Liu's eyes. Fortunately, Aunt Liu didn't care much about this scumbag.
"Okay, okay, you really want to get rid of your relationship with me, right? Then I won't write it. Your aunt was my concubine, Shi Zhengde, in life and in death!"
Shi Zhengde was furious when he saw that his concubines' sons and daughters were disobedient to him.
Shi Anan was about to speak when Lord Zhongyuan saw them dragging their feet and couldn't wait any longer, so he walked over.
"What are you taking so long for?" asked Uncle Zhongyuan with a frown.
But after seeing the appearance of Aunt Liu and Shi An'an, his eyes lit up. He originally thought that Emperor Yongchang loved beauties, and Shi Wanqing happened to be good-looking and could be given to the emperor. If she was favored in the future, their Zhongyuan Earl's Mansion would also be considered a royal family.
It’s a pity that this stupid niece couldn’t even protect her own face.
I originally thought that this plan would not work, but I didn't expect that there was still a little beauty hidden in the mansion. As for the old man, he still had charm. Shi Zhengde was really lucky.
"Is she your daughter?" Earl Zhongyuan asked, pointing at Shi Anan.
"Yes, yes, she is my concubine's daughter, and that is her aunt. They made a mistake and I am scolding them! No, it will be done soon and won't take up too much of your time." Shi Zhengde's face changed in an instant and he said flatteringly.
"Take them back first and then train them. The registration over there is almost over." Earl Zhongyuan planned to take Shi Anan and others with him decisively, which made Fang look at him in surprise. She remembered that her brother was not a soft-hearted person either.
"No need, we won't go with you." Shi Anan looked at the group of people jumping up and down coldly, not taking their words to heart at all.
