Chapter 1: White Fox(2/2)
When he was still a baby, a famous doctor declared that Su Yue would not live to be twenty years old. Now counting the time, twenty years old will be here soon.
"I hate God for giving me such a weak body. If I could practice martial arts, I would be like a common man. He would be so angry that he would take five steps to kill Su Wu, Su Wen, and that bitch Sun!"
When the word "Sun" was mentioned, Su Yue's whole body began to tremble. This shows how much he hates this person!
The Sun family came from a wealthy family in the Qin Dynasty: the Sun family. She was the wife of Marquis Jianning and the mother of Su Wen and Su Wu. But to Su Yue, she was his mother-killing enemy and the culprit who caused his troubles.
The culprit!
There were rumors outside that Su Yue's mother died in childbirth, but Su Yue knew that this was not the truth. His mother was killed bit by bit by Sun using a slow poison!
Su Yue's natural frailty was also caused by being infected by this poison when he was in his mother's womb.
This news was told to Su Yue by an old servant of the Hou Mansion when he was about to die, and it was absolutely true.
Many servants passed by and saw Su Yue lying in the snow, and they all showed disdainful smiles.
Su Yue, however, finally gained enough strength, stood up with difficulty, led the horse, and walked towards the stable step by step.
His current situation is worse than that of a servant. Naturally, no one will hold the horse for him, so he can only do it himself.
After arriving at the stable, he tied up the thin old horse and went to get some fodder. Seeing the old horse swallowing it hard, Su Yue sighed softly.
"Follow me and you will suffer."
As the son of a marquis, even if he is a commoner, he still needs to pay attention to his dignity. Instead of riding a car when going out, he must ride a horse. Naturally, Su Yue cannot be treated as a car, he can only ride a horse, and even if he rides a horse, he can only ride a horse.
This thin horse is about to die of old age.
After placing the old horse, Su Yue turned around and left, but heard a sad low groan not far away.
"What is it?"
This sound was like the pleading of some kind of animal, and hearing it in Su Yue's ears actually made him feel a sense of sadness.
He decided to go and have a look.
Several slaves in green clothes looked happy, one was sharpening a knife, another was boiling water, and the other was holding a bag. There were obviously animals in the bag, and they were struggling at the moment.
When Su Yue saw this scene, he immediately understood the whole story. It turned out that several slaves wanted to make a pot of broth, but they didn't know what kind of animals were in their pockets.
Woohoo...
As if he knew what he was about to face, the animal in his pocket screamed even more sadly, just like the whimpering of a child.
"This beast is somewhat spiritual."
The slave holding the bag smiled cruelly, put one hand into the bag, took out the animals in the bag, and put them under the butcher's knife.
It turned out to be a white fox. Its snow-white hair was spotless, and its four hooves were also wrapped in white hair, as if they were walking on snow. The white fox's nimble nose was slightly twitching, its big eyes were full of crystals, and it was whimpering constantly.
"This beast's fur is pretty good. If you don't leave any flaws when you peel it, you might be able to sell it for a good price."
The servant who was boiling water suddenly remembered something and hurriedly gave instructions.
"Do not worry."
The person who was about to take the knife responded, but he licked his lips, as if he was looking forward to the delicious food for a while.
Woohoo...
The white fox was about to cry, and screamed even more fiercely. A pair of bright eyes stared at Su Yue not far away, as if he could speak, full of pleading.
"stop!"
Su Yue looked at the white fox's eyes and thought of his own experience, and couldn't help but feel sympathetic emotions.
I am a poor person, he is a poor fox, I want to save it...
After making up his mind, Su Yue strode away.
Hearing that someone was stopping them, the three of them were frightened. When they turned around, it was Su Yue who immediately laughed.
"Hey, it turns out to be the third young master. Why, do you also want to take a sip of broth?"
"What are you talking about? Third Young Master, despite his status, he doesn't look down on fox meat at all. He is used to eating it in fine clothes and fine food!"
"Really? Why did I hear that the third young master went to the courtyard to dig wild vegetables for cooking a few days ago? Is it to improve the taste?"
The three of them sang together and laughed.
"Let go of this white fox."
Su Yue didn't care at all about the sarcasm of the three people. He just stepped forward and said calmly.
"Why?"
The three of them were furious. They had spent a lot of effort to catch this white fox. How could they give up when they were about to be put in the pot?
"Could it be that this loser wants to take it all to himself?"
Suddenly this idea came to mind, and the three of them looked at each other and sneered. If this useless person really had this idea, then they would beat him up. No one cares about his life or death anyway.
"You three are about to die, but you don't know it. It's ridiculous."
Su Yue's expression remained unchanged, as if he didn't see the evil looks on the three people's faces, and said calmly.
"You three are just humble servants. Today is not a holiday, and the Marquis Mansion has no grace, so how can you have the right to eat meat? Furthermore, I heard that a lot of meat was lost in the kitchen, and there might be this white fox among them. Could it be you three?"
Are you so bold as to steal something from the Marquis's mansion?"
"You're talking nonsense!"
The three of them were shocked and angry. If they really followed Su Yue's words, wouldn't they have committed a serious crime and would probably be killed by the strict housekeeper?
"So what are you talking nonsense? Although my status is humble, no one takes my identity seriously, but I am also the son of the Marquis. In this Marquis's mansion, what's the problem if I wrongly accuse you of three slaves?" Su Yue
After finishing speaking, he paused, and seeing the ugly faces of the three people, he continued: "Two options, one is to hand over the white fox, and the other is to continue what you are doing now, put the white fox into the pot, and have a final meal.
When we are full, I will go and tell the housekeeper that the three of you will steal the meat from the kitchen and everyone will get the stolen goods, and you and the three of you will die!"
They were just three fearless slaves. Although Su Yue had no ability, it was very easy to intimidate them. After what he said, the three of them turned pale. Knowing that the matter was done, they immediately sneered, picked up the white fox, and said, "I
If I want to take the white fox away now, you can stop me."
The three people who subconsciously wanted to reach out were immediately frightened by Su Yue's words and didn't know what to do.
"Don't worry, it's safe."
Su Yue also breathed a sigh of relief, hugged the white fox, and turned to leave.
