Lei Zhe noticed Jian Qiao's discomfort immediately.
He attached to Mr. Earl's ear and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter with you? Are you uncomfortable?"
Growing up in this era, he couldn't understand Jane Qiao's inner unbearableness. Not to mention whipping with a whip, just driving these dwarfs directly onto the red-hot coals, making them jump and scream and cry, can also become a fun show.
And this kind of show, Lei Zhe has watched too many times. He never felt there was anything wrong with it.
In the eyes of these people, strange-looking dwarfs are a lower species than livestock, and no one will show excess sympathy to a livestock.
Jane Qiao understands the influence of the limitations of the times on Lei Zhe. If he is also a native of the noble family, his thinking may not be more enlightened than Lei Zhe. So he suppressed his discomfort, shook his head and said, "No, it's nothing, just drank a few glasses of wine, and my chest was a little tight."
He stroked his chest lightly.
"What kind of broken body are you!" Lei Zhe's face was full of disgust, but he had already waved to the waiter: "Bring me a glass of ice water and a little lemon juice."
A glass of ice water was immediately brought to Jian Qiao's hand. The coldness of the ice cubes, the sour taste of the juice, and the pungency from the peel quickly made the drowsy Jane Qiao feel a little better.
Lei Zhe is really experienced in caring for people.
Jian Qiao sipped the glass of ice water and sighed, "I finally understand why those women like you. If I were a woman, I would like you too."
Lei Zhe, who was looking at him with concern, did not know why, but his heart beat violently. The last sentence was like a heavy hammer, knocking him dizzy.
His eyes darkened for a moment, and then he pretended not to hear clearly and asked, "What did you just say?"
Jane Qiao paused for a moment, and then suddenly changed her mouth: "No, even if it's not a woman, I would like you. In this world, you are the person I like the most."
This sentence is not mixed with water at all. Jane Qiao, who has only been in this world for five years and is out of tune with everyone, did find only a like-minded friend like Lei Zhe. If he doesn't like Lei Zhe, who else can he like
Lei Zhe: "..."
shit! He's really going to be rude! What is the little mouth of Mr. Earl made of? Why can it be so sweet? He must drink honey water every day, right? And it's calendula nectar! Blossoming, as bright as the sun, just like every word he said!
Lei Zhe's frantic beating heart could no longer be suppressed. At this moment, the female dwarf who walked to the center of the dance floor told a very funny joke, which made all the guests laugh.
Lei Zhe also took advantage of the disguise of this shareholder style, grinning and laughing loudly. The corners of his eyes and brows were filled with joy and satisfaction that he had never had before, like a blooming marigold.
Jane Joe also smiled. The corners of his lips were raised, his eyes were curved, his smile was subtle, but also pleasant. He looked at the female dwarf in the center of the stage and applauded lightly for her.
Lei Zhe looked at him in astonishment, and then whispered, "You, did you laugh? You laugh too?"
Prince Andrew was scanning the room, watching who was laughing and who wasn't.
Jane Qiao kept the smile on her face and whispered, "I'm human too, of course I can laugh."
Lei Zhe carefully observed this smiling face and always felt that something was wrong. Mr. Earl's smile is really beautiful, his slightly curved eyes are as cute as crescent moons, and his upturned lips touch the muscles of his cheeks, showing two small pear eddies, and the pear eddies are full of intoxicating wine. .
God, it turns out that Mr. Earl has a pear vortex! After having known each other for so long, Lei Zhe has not discovered this big secret until now.
When he is not smiling, Jian Qiao is elegant and indifferent and unattainable, but once he shows a smile, he is so immature. He seemed to be a big boy.
However, the big boy's eyes seemed to lack some clear light. Lei Zhe vaguely had such a thought.
But before he could think about it, Prince Andrew said sullenly: "Very good, everyone laughed, except Garcia. Bring me my whip!"
Immediately a servant delivered a long whip full of barbs.
The smile at the corner of Jian Qiao's mouth solidified slightly, and then it bloomed even more. He no longer clapped lightly, but raised his hands and patted his palms hard until they were red and swollen. He wanted to set the mood for the female midgets on stage.
The female dwarf naturally also saw the long whip that Prince Andrew was holding in his hand.
Her face turned pale immediately, but she adjusted her mentality in just an instant. She boldly walked towards a handsome, arrogant young aristocrat, half-knelt on the ground, begging him to dance with her, and honestly recounting how she fell in love with him at first sight when she came to this banquet .
She held her own sweetheart, and gushed out her fiery love language. It was neither annoyed nor ashamed of the young nobleman.
The strong contrast between beauty and ugliness, as well as the absurd plot of the toad wanting to eat swan meat, made the guests burst into more cheerful laughter.
The young noble finally couldn't bear it, and kicked the dwarf girl out.
The female dwarf fell backwards, like a ball rolling on the ground twice, but actually rolled back to the feet of the young noble, hugging the other's calf, and said with great enthusiasm: "Dear, please kick me again. You are right. The harder I am, the more I love you!"
The young nobleman's cheeks flushed, and he sighed on his forehead. He got it! He's completely overwhelmed!
This is the worst and most unavoidable way to make fun of yourself, and that is to practice yourself.
But the more it happens, the more the guests will buy it. They burst into laughter like never before, followed by applause. A golden candlestick placed on a high place was shaken slightly by the strong sound waves, causing the candle light to turn on and off. The lights and shadows danced wildly, so the figures cast by the guests on the ground also lengthened and distorted.
At the heart of comedy is tragedy, and everyone involved is creating a tragedy. This laughter is not laughter, but the lament of an era.
Looking at such a scene, the smile on Jian Qiao's face gradually faded, but when Lei Zhe or Prince Andrew looked over, two pear vortices on his cheeks would appear again.
He raised his hands and applauded vigorously.
However, even though the female dwarf tried her best to make all the nobles laugh, she couldn't make Garcia, who was sitting in the brightest place, show even the slightest smile.
The man sat up straight, which ensured that her ornate skirt would not create unwanted folds. Her emerald green eyes stared intently at the stage, but she seemed to see nothing. Others were laughing wildly, but she just squinted her eyes and showed a lazy expression.
In this vanity fair where the demons dance, she is the only one who is sober, self-sufficient, and determined.
And she has no idea what kind of disaster her noble attitude will bring to others.
The female dwarf roll, roll, roll until she loses her strength. Finally, she stopped, sat on the stage with her legs spread apart, and looked at Garcia with pleading eyes.
Garcia turned her head away indifferently, then frowned in disgust. She likes the feeling of being watched, but that doesn't include such grotesque things.
Prince Andrew stood up, walked slowly in the middle of the dance floor, and raised his hands to signal everyone to be quiet: "Listen to me, stand by. Just now, I made a bet with my little thing. I said, As long as she can make the audience laugh, I will reward her with ten gold coins, and if one of them doesn't laugh, I will whip her to death."
Prince Andrea stood in front of Garcia and said in a gloomy tone, "Obviously, she lost!"
Everyone looked at Garcia, who had been cold from the beginning to the end, and Garcia raised his delicate jaw even more arrogantly, as if to say - I just don't laugh, how are you doing
Prince Andrew leaned down and threatened: "My dear, only you can save her now, understand?"
Put down your body to make fun of a woman? No, it is absolutely impossible for Prince Andrew to do such a ridiculous thing. If he sees a beautiful flower, he will pick it off. If the flower is full of thorns, he will cut it off with scissors.
He is a total tyrant.
Hearing these vicious words and seeing the long whip full of poisonous needles, all the women present let out a low cry of horror.
"God, Garcia, please laugh quickly, hurry up! I don't want to see someone die in front of me!" A lady took out the smelling salts and took two strong breaths, then covered her chest and shouted.
Garcia looked directly at Prince Andrea and said word by word: "If I want to laugh, then someone dies in front of me, and I will laugh brightly. If I want to cry, I will have countless The gold and silver treasures of her are piled up by my hand, and I will cry bitterly. My emotions are completely in my own control, and I will not be shaken by anyone. If you want to kill her, please feel free."
When the words fell, she stretched out her hand and made a "please" gesture.
The female dwarf, who had looked at her with hope, was crushed in an instant. She put her hands together, choked and begged: "No, no, beautiful lady, please spare my life! It's easy for you, just give me a smile, even if you grin perfunctorily, All right. I beg you, I beg you! I still have two young children to support at home, and they can't lose their mother!"
However, no one would care about her life, let alone the life of her children. With livestock like this, Prince Andrew can have as many as he wants.
Garcia didn't glance at the female dwarf at all, but just stared at Prince Andrea, his expression becoming more and more rebellious. She was competing with this person, and a life meant nothing to her.
And the more stubborn, ruthless, fearless, and ruthless she is, the more aroused the love of these great nobles who already have morbid psychology. These monsters growing in the hotbed of corruption have long distorted their aesthetics.
The darker the creatures, the more charming they are in their eyes.
The pear vortex on Jane Qiao's cheek was completely smoothed out. When he looked at Garcia, there was no trace of appreciation in his eyes, only a deep coldness. Then, he retracted his gaze and looked at his swollen palm.
No matter how much effort he put in, it seemed to be of no use. His power is too weak.
Lei Zhe held his slender wrist and whispered, "You like that dwarf's performance so much?"
Jane Joe nodded silently. Of course he didn't like this kind of vulgar performance, but he couldn't help it. That is a life!
At this moment, Prince Andrea laughed while applauding: "Okay! Very good! Dear Garcia, I like you more and more! In order to express my fiery feelings, I decided to show you a show Good show. Drag her up."
The two footmen immediately dragged the limp female dwarf to Garcia's feet, where Prince Andrea was to be executed. When the whip flies, Garcia will also inevitably be covered in blood.
No woman would be able to bear the terrifying scene of the flesh being ripped apart.
But Garcia is no ordinary woman. She still stretched out her hand as before and made a "please feel free" action. Even if someone died in front of her, she wouldn't blink, she was so cruel.
Prince Andrew nodded, showing a more pleasant smile, and then began to put on white gloves so as not to stain himself with blood. He likes this woman so much! She is more rebellious than the fiercest wild horse on the prairie.
But he just likes challenges, and prefers to smash each other's hard bones one by one.
The female dwarf was terrified of incontinence. She slumped on the ground, like a mass of mud, and some of the guests next to her let out a rather funny low laugh.
Jane Qiao tried to say a few words to stop her, but closed her pale thin lips with difficulty. He knows too well the mentality of a person like Prince Andrew.
They are naturally rebellious, and the more people beg them not to do anything, the more they have to go in reverse, because watching others suffer makes them happy. Moreover, Jane Qiao is nothing in his eyes, so what Jane Qiao said will not have the slightest weight.
If Jane Qiao opens her mouth to plead for the female dwarf, the biggest possibility is not to save people, but to let Prince Andrew strike harder. Originally, he only hit a hundred whips, but he may smirk and take two hundred, three hundred or even more whips, and then smile and say, "Are you satisfied now?"
Therefore, Jane Qiao could only choose to remain silent. These pampered aristocrats would feel tired if they whipped ten whips by themselves, and then let others do the work for them.
At that point, it should be easier to intercede again.
Thinking of this, Jian Qiao clenched her fists and waited silently. When his heart was tormented with guilt, Lei Zhe suddenly said, "Andre, let her go for my sake."
