Shi Qingxue refused directly. She didn't want to have anything to do with Shi Baojin at all.
"Fourth sister is begging you! Third sister is about to be sentenced to death. Before leaving, she always regretted treating you like that and wanted to apologize to you in person. If you don't agree, she won't feel at ease even if she dies. ." Shi Baoyou burst into tears, what he said was so pitiful.
Shi Baoning was about to enter the room. After hearing this, he quickly stepped forward to support Shi Baoyou and carefully wiped away her tears.
At the same time, he looked at Qingxue with disapproval and said, "Qingxue, even though Baojin may feel sorry for you, Baoyou has always been nice to you. How could you be so cruel to her?"
Shi Qingxue: "..." She has always known that no matter who is weak, it is easy to attract sympathy, so she didn't say anything else.
On the other hand, Dong Shuang was dissatisfied with her master being bullied, especially when one of the two was his sister. She was so angry towards outsiders.
She couldn't help but said angrily: "I'm afraid what the eldest lady said is biased! It was obviously the fourth lady who made things difficult for Liu Niang first and asked Liu Niang to go to Tianlao to visit the third lady. Liu Niang didn't want to, so the fourth lady cried. How can you blame Liu Niang for this!"
Shi Baoning didn't know the purpose of Shi Baoyou coming to Luotong Pavilion, and Qingxue had always been strong, so he subconsciously felt that Baoyou had been wronged. He didn't expect that such a thing could happen, and he couldn't help but feel heat rising on his face.
Feeling ashamed and embarrassed, I could only bite the bullet and reprimand: "Master, why are you maid interrupting what the master is talking about? Has the discipline mother taught you all in vain?"
Dong Shuang shrank her neck after being scolded, and she didn't dare to speak.
Shi Qingxue couldn't see it, pulled the person behind him, and said calmly: "Sister, you are angry when you are angry, why should you make a maid angry?"
Shi Baoning heard the coldness in Qingxue's words and saw that she actually favored a maid. She felt dissatisfied and was about to have a fit. When Baoyou tugged at the corner of her clothes, she stopped herself and only said: "I heard that Third Sister wants to meet you?"
"Um."
He responded lukewarmly and said nothing.
Shi Baoning frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "I know you have a grudge against Third Sister, but the one who died is the most important, so why do you have to worry about her anymore?"
Shi Qingxue smiled slightly, making the other two people think that she was going to let go, so they coldly told the truth: "She's not dead yet."
Shi Baoning was a little embarrassed by her uncooperative attitude. She felt that her dignity as the eldest sister had been challenged, and a look of worry appeared on her face, "But you don't want to save her. She will die soon. Are you so cruel?" Is it so that she is not even willing to fulfill her last wish?"
"... Cruel?" Shi Qingxue felt as if her heart had been pricked by something. It wasn't painful, but it was sour and astringent, and it was unbearable.
She raised her head and looked at Shi Baoning with a complicated expression. She really wanted to ask him, in her heart, was she such a 'cruel' person
However, Shi Baoning turned his face away, unwilling to look at her.
Ah!
Shi Qingxue laughed to herself, and her last thoughts of self-justification gave up. Anyway, the two people in front of her - or everyone in the Shi family - believed that she was cruel and ruthless, so it was useless to say anything else.
She also knew that Baojin's last so-called goodbye was just to make her feel softer.
"Since the two sisters have said so, then if I don't go, I will be sorry for the third sister's tears and the eldest sister's scolding." Shi Qingxue agreed.
Shi Baoyou suddenly smiled brightly, as if he didn't hear the irony in her words, and said proactively: "Then I'll go get someone to prepare the carriage right away. I won't delay you for too long."
She ran away quickly, as if she was afraid that Shi Qingxue would regret it.
Shi Baoning was a little embarrassed, and probably realized that his attitude just now was not good, so he couldn't help but explain in a low voice: "I'm not forcing you to save Bao Jin, but she wants to see you before she dies, so you have to go see her , otherwise people outside will definitely gossip about you, and I do it for your own good... "
"Okay, you don't have to say anything, I understand everything." Shi Qingxue interrupted the other party and smiled lightly, "Sister, please come back if you have nothing to do."
There is no mutual agreement. She has received enough opposition and harsh criticism from her close relatives today, and she really doesn't have the strength to say anything more to the other party.
Shi Baoning bit her lip and refused to leave, "My mother asked me to accompany you. Let me go with you to Tianlao to see Baojin! This way you don't have to feel uncomfortable."
Shi Qingxue responded indifferently and led Xia Mang out of Luotong Pavilion.
Dongshuang also wanted to go, but she didn't let her go.
This maid has a direct temper and loves to fight for her, so she can't let her people be bullied anymore.
It was a hot day in June, but the sky prison was windy and humid. Just standing there gave people a chilling feeling of terror.
Shi Qingxue shivered from the cold and silently looked at the man in the cell who was covered in stains and unkempt, and could not even see his face.
For a while, everything in the prison was quiet and silent.
Seeing that Qingxue really had no intention to speak, Shi Baoyou whispered: "Third sister, Qingxue is here to see you. If you have anything to say to her, say it now!"
The man in the sky prison shrank into a ball. He was so frightened by Shi Baoyou's words that he shrank even further. He made a "hmm" sound like a small animal, but he couldn't hear clearly what he was saying.
"What's wrong with her?" Shi Baoning looked at the people inside in surprise. He couldn't believe that it was the proud and arrogant Shi Baojin. How could she make herself so miserable
Shi Baoyou looked sad and sighed softly: "I was already a little confused when I came to see her a few days ago. The environment here is bad and she is pregnant with a child. Even if she has any illness, she cannot get treatment in time. I think I asked Doctor Qin to come and take a look at her, but the people in the prison refused to let her go, because I’m afraid she won’t be able to survive it for long.”
As she spoke, her tears fell again.
Shi Baoning quickly comforted: "Don't be sad. I'll have someone come over to take a look at Baojin later and clean her up. We can't let her suffer such humiliation even when she's dying."
While talking, Shi Baoning looked at Qingxue again.
Qingxue pretended not to see the complexity in her eyes, and said calmly to Shi Baojin inside: "You asked me to come, and I'm already here. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Shi Baojin folded his arms around his chest, crouched in the corner and murmured to himself, without looking at them or intending to answer.
After waiting for a moment, Shi Qingxue said again: "If you have no flowers to tell me, then I will leave."
I don't know which word in her words irritated Shi Baojin, who suddenly rushed over like a chicken blood. Qingxue subconsciously stepped back, but to her surprise, Shi Baoyou was standing behind her and did not move. .
She was grabbed by Shi Baojin's arm, her white sleeves were stained, and the stench hit her face.
"What are you doing? Let me go!"
Shi Qingxue wanted to withdraw her hand, but Shi Baojin seemed to suddenly burst out with divine power and held her wrist tightly, muttering: "Don't go, don't go, don't go..."
Seeing her like this, Shi Baoning and Shi Baoyou not only had no intention of stepping forward to help, but also stopped Xia Mang from letting the latter help her pull Shi Baojin away, "Qingxue, just treat Baojin as a pity, stay with me." Let her talk for a while!"
Shi Qingxue: "..." She almost wanted to curse!
Let her pity Shi Baojin, then who will pity her!
Qingxue clenched her fists, suppressed her manic mood, stared at the man in the prison with cloudy eyes and confused words, and said calmly: "That's enough, Shi Baojin, I know you're not crazy. If you have anything to say, just say it." Say it!" Shi Baojin was still talking nonsense but didn't respond to her.
"I don't have time to stay here with you pretending to be crazy. If you really plan to continue like this, then I don't mind finding a jailer to separate us." Shi Qingxue said coldly.
She didn't believe that Shi Baojin could really be crazy - this person was too selfish and vicious. How could such a person be crazy
There was another silence in the sky prison. Shi Baoyou couldn't stand it and wanted to come up and persuade Qingxue.
Shi Baojin suddenly moved. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Shi Qingxue, with tears streaming down her face, and begged: "Qingxue, good Qingxue, I know I was sorry for you before, I know I was wrong, but I don't want to die. , I really don’t want to die, can you save me? Just once, save me this time, and I promise not to go against you again, okay!”
The voice was sad but methodical, completely unlike the delirious lunatic from before.
Shi Baoyou and Shi Baoning looked at each other and saw doubts in each other's eyes. But Shi Baojin's cries were so pitiful that people couldn't bear it. He didn't even remember to pursue her for pretending to be crazy, and instead helped to persuade Shi Qingxue.
"Sixth sister, third sister has been taught enough lessons, just go around her this time!"
"Yes! Don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face. After all, we are also a family. If you insist on taking Bao Jin's life, how will your mother be able to establish a foothold in the family in the future?"
“…”
Shi Qingxue almost laughed out loud at the singing of several people. She had seen shameless people, but never such a shameless one.
She had already guessed that they would not give up begging her to spare Shi Baojin, but she didn't expect that in order to let her do this, Shi Baoning would even use Dong Hui's face to make excuses, as if if she didn't respond, it would be unfilial and unfair. Mother is embarrassed.
Xia Mang couldn't see it, and when no one was paying attention, he slapped away Shi Baojin's two paws, pulled Qingxue out of their circle, blocked Qingxue in front of him, and said seriously: "The two ladies were joking. , Third Miss has to accept legal punishment because she made a mistake, and no one can change it, and now Liu Niang only came to see Third Miss because of your request, so please respect yourselves."
It was indeed inappropriate to speak as Xia Mang, but what she said was straightforward and reasonable, and it was what they said before they left. Neither Shi Baoyou nor Shi Baoning had the face to deny what they said, so they could only bow their heads. His head was speechless.
"Since we have met and spoken, I will leave first." After coming here, Shi Qingxue not only did not feel soft-hearted, but also felt a little disgusted and wished to leave early.
But as soon as she turned around, Shi Baojin's shrill voice came from behind her: "Shi Qingxue, are you really so cruel that you won't save me until you die?"
Shi Qingxue paused, turned around, and told the truth coldly: "From the time you found someone to humiliate me in Tranquility Temple, you no longer have the right to say that I am cruel."
This fact made Shi Baoyou and Shi Baoning both stunned. Neither of them expected that such a terrible thing had ever happened. Their faces turned pale and they did not speak again.
Shi Baojin also turned pale and sat slumped on the ground, with pain and despair on his face.
Shi Qingxue was not in the mood to appreciate it, so she turned around and left.
Before she took two steps, she saw a person walking in from outside.
The tall figure had the light behind him, and his face could not be seen clearly, but Shi Qingxue recognized the person immediately, his smile appeared unconsciously, and even his steps were a little brisk.
"Mo Junyang."
Mo Junyang also smiled when he saw her, but before the smile fully appeared, the man's dark pupils shrank suddenly, and he suddenly shouted sharply: "Qingxue!"
"Liu Niang!"
Before Shi Qingxue could react, her body was pushed hard, but she still felt a slight but unignorable pain in her neck, and then she fell to the other side.
