The next day.
Sure enough, Xiao Zong Han set up a stage inside the residence and invited Miss Chu inside to watch the opera.
The man hugged the beauty as he sat at the head of the table. The servants below all lowered their heads, not daring to breathe loudly.
"Qing Wan, this grape is very sweet. You should also try one."
Out of the corner of his eye, Xiao Zong Han caught a glimpse of a sleeve outside the door. The corners of his mouth hooked wickedly, but the words he spoke were incomparably gentle.
Shen Siyin's footsteps paused as her eyes fell on the man's handsome face. A sour feeling suddenly rose from the bottom of her heart.
In the seven years they had been married, he had never treated her so gently.
As if sensing her gaze, the man lifted his eyes without the slightest trace of gentleness. "This commander and Qing Wan have already waited for a long time. Why did you only come out now? Do you feel wronged by singing for this commander?"
His eyes were full of ridicule.
Shen Siyin's face was pale. "No." Forcefully suppressing the bitterness in her heart, she flung her long sleeves and her voice rose in spirals.
Following her voice, Xiao Zong Han's expression became increasingly unsightly and the hand holding Chu Qingwan's waist also tightened.
"Young Commander." Chu Qingwan lifted her eyes to look at him.
However, he seemed to have heard nothing. His eyes narrowed as he coldly stared at the thin figure below. "I didn't expect that Governor Shen's daughter would be so decent in her opera performance."
Shen Siyin's eyelashes trembled. No matter what it was, as long as he said it, she would do it.
But it was precisely this, this kind of obedience, this kind of resignation that caused Xiao Zong Han's heart to abruptly rise with a monstrous fury.
"Someone come."
"Young Commander."
"Go, bring over a thousand coins."
"Yes."
The servant hastily accepted the order and left. The remaining servants were even more terrified. Only Chu Qingwan looked at Xiao Zong Han with a pensive gaze.
Soon, the man came up with a large tray. On the tray, there was a lot of steel.
Xiao Zong Han looked at the coins and suddenly released Chu Qingwan's arm to take the tray.
"Young Commander." A voice sounded and Xiao Zong Han's gaze turned over. Chu Qingwan's voice was probing. "You truly hate her."
Xiao Zong Han's cold eyes narrowed. "Naturally."
"If she dies, what will happen to the Young Commander?" Chu Qingwan asked almost instinctively.
Xiao Zong Han's eyes flashed as he shot a glance at the woman who was still singing. His voice abruptly turned ice-cold, "If she dies, this marshal will drape himself in red decorations and hold a banquet to celebrate!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he moved his hand, and the room was filled with the sound of pendants bouncing about.
"Shen Siyin, you sang very well today. This one thousand yuan is my reward to you." Then he turned around and left.
Behind him, Shen Siyin's footsteps were disturbed by the rolling pieces of steel. She fell heavily to the ground, but she didn't even cry out in pain.
She just kept her head lowered, and the tears and despair in her eyes could no longer be hidden.
After a long while.
"Madam, the Young Commander has already left," Chu Qingwan said.
Shen Siyin didn't raise her head. She just nodded her head and propped herself up.
She turned around and walked straight with what little self-respect she had left.
However, she had only taken two steps when a voice filled with pity and compassion called out to her from behind. "Madam."
She paused.
"Good and evil will eventually be repaid. Actually, Madam doesn't need to feel sorry for yourself. When you schemed against the Young Commander and your own sister in the past, you should have long thought of today's situation."
Swish!
The color of blood instantly receded from Shen Siyin's face.
