The two dancers nodded in response, taking the chance to move behind Luo Shang slowly. They only saw one of the dancers turn around.
Luo Shang was pushed onto the cold surface of the stage by them. She collapsed on top of the jade platform, and her long hair fell down right next to her.
"Luo Shang, you-" Shen Changqing slammed the table heavily, causing the teacup on the table to almost fall.
What a terrible sight.
The sound of the music also stopped along with Manager Shen's anger, all the dancers stopped in their tracks and looked at the lady on the stage.
"It's all because of you, Luo Shang, causing everyone to train hard. You really are a disaster." cried a dancer, pointing at her.
"Aunt, you must not let her off lightly."
Luo Shang tilted her head to look at them, swept indifferently, and did not explain herself at all. Because of her explanation, no one below the stage would believe it.
He felt as if the bare bone of his neck was broken and was in endless pain.
"How are you, all right?" Su Qing walked over and supported her. He looked at her red ankles and then at the complacent expressions of the group of dancers.
Since Su Qing knew the reason, she helped him up.
"Aunt …"
However, she didn't expect that when Shen Changqing walked up to the stage, the angry green lines on his amiable face mixed with her aged wrinkles were exposed.
Shen Changqing stood in front of Luo Shang and looked at her raised eyes.
"Pa ~ ~ ~"
Luo Shang was slapped across her face.
"Aunty." Su Qing frowned, she never thought that no matter how angry manager was, she would not slap Luo Shang.
"Because of your fault, you had to let this group of people bear the consequences with you. You are truly outrageously noble. Let me warn you, Luo Shang, if anything goes wrong with the Flower Soul Expo that day, I will definitely not forgive you. Men, lock this woman up. Within three days, you are not allowed to give her anything to eat or drink. Shen Changqing glared at Luo Shang, her eyes filled with rage.
Qing Ning and the rest laughed complacently, as if nothing had happened.
"Auntie, there's something fishy going on. Please consider carefully." Su Qing blocked in front of Shen Changqing.
"Su Qing, I have yet to punish you for your crimes. You better stay in the pavilion and reflect on it, and don't take a step within three days."
"Aunty." Su Qing knelt on the ground, feeling extremely anxious. If she was grounded, what would Luo Shang do, would she starve to death in the woodshed?
Luo Shang endured the pain, looked at Shen Changqing, and said with difficulty: "Aunt Evergreen, this matter is my fault alone. It has nothing to do with Miss Su.
"You'd better worry about yourself. "Hrmph." Shen Changqing was enraged, and he ordered his men to take Luo Shang away.
Qing Ning pursed her lips, crossed her arms over her chest, and walked in front of Su Qing, bending at the waist, and said sarcastically: "I already said, if you fight with me, there's only death."
She laughed and led the dancers off the platform.
Shen Changqing locked Luo Shang in a closed woodshed, but didn't tie her hands or feet. It was unknown if it was because he was disdainful or because he was slightly concerned about the wound on her ankle.
Luo Shang sat on the meadow while hugging her knees. Her faint eyes were as calm as clear water.
A faint light shone through the closed window, and she could even see the sunlight on the ground.
She was very tired, both physically and mentally. She was truly very tired.
Luo Shang leaned on the pillar and slowly closed her eyes.
The sunlight outside the window faded bit by bit, and what followed was a pitch-black shadow.
Luo Shang was hurt by the bone in her foot, she woke up from the pain, when she opened her eyes, she heard a few soft sounds coming from inside the room.
"Princess, Princess Jin."
Who was speaking?
The voice came from outside the door. She struggled a few times, but the wound on her ankle was too heavy and she was unable to stand up.
There was the sound of a lock being locked, and then the door opened.
A little girl covered in sweat ran into the room in a flurry. She looked around and closed the door after confirming that no one had seen her.
"Who are you?" Luo Shang looked at her and couldn't help but retreat.
"Princess, don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person."
The little girl didn't look as big as her, but she was rather skinny. Her two eyes were sunken in, and the dark circles around her eyes were very heavy. It was as if she couldn't sleep well all the time.
"Does the princess not remember me?" The little girl grabbed Luo Shang's hand.
"You are?"
Luo Shang thought about it for a long time but still couldn't remember who this girl was.
The little girl let go of her hand, and immediately kneeled down, and kowtowed to Luo Shang.
"I am Xiao Zhu, the girl that the wangfei saved outside the Peacock Pavilion when Miss Luo Family was still here."
Hearing her words, only then did Luo Shang remember that when she was walking past the Peacock Pavilion with Ah Yu, a few men were pulling a girl and saying that they wanted to buy her into the Smoky Willow Land. One of the men was kicking the old man who was curled up on the ground forcefully.
It was she who had saved the old man and the girl and given them some money to keep them safe.
"Why are you here? Where's your Abba? " Luo Shang asked.
That day when he had saved her, he had seen that old man's bones were as thin as firewood. It was likely that he was afflicted with an illness, so he had given them money to go to the hospital.
Xiao Zhu's eyes were a little wet. She wiped away her tears and said while sobbing, "Father … Abba is no longer here. "
No more.
Xiao Zhu continued, "After Princess Wang gave us a sum of money, I brought father to invite Father to a husband, but who would have thought that the husband would actually do such a black-hearted thing? He took away Princess Wang Fei's gift of money and even released a fake medicine for Father, so Father …"
The girl didn't have the strength to continue talking. Her eyes were red, and tears were pouring down from her eyes.
"But why are you here?"
"Because, because I want to repay my wife. Ah Pa and I have lived for many years and were despised and disdained by the world. Only the Royal Concubine did not despise us for helping her out like this, so when the Jin Clan expanded the recruitment period for maids, I secretly snuck in. However, I didn't want to enter the wrong place and ended up in this courtyard. And here I coincidentally saw you, the wangfei. "
Xiao Zhu wiped her tears and immediately walked out from her grief. She carefully took out a bag of food from her chest and opened it to reveal two steamed buns that were still steaming hot.
"Princess, please eat. "When you're done eating, come with me."
"Leave?" Luo Shang asked in confusion.
The Xiao Zhu patted the dirt off her body and said to her, "That's right, I've already forced the guards to leave. I've taken the key from them, if the wangfei doesn't leave today, it'll be difficult for her to leave. If you stay here, they won't let you go. "
Would he be able to leave?
If she could really leave, then why would she stay here? Even if she escaped to the ends of the earth, that man would still bring her back.
Moreover, as long as her Luo Family still existed, where would she be able to escape to?
"I won't leave."
"Princess, don't be stubborn. They will kill you." Xiao Zhu was excited and anxious. She kept looking at the door, afraid that someone would come.
She had already investigated everything. Today was a dancing night, so the person on duty would definitely relax a little. If he didn't leave now, how long would it take?
"Thank you for your kind intentions, but I will not leave. Hurry up and leave, don't come here, the further you go the better. Take this, it'll be useful. " Luo Shang laughed bitterly, and then loosened her jade bracelet on her wrist and forcibly slid onto her wrist.
"My life was saved by you, if you don't leave, then I won't." Xiao Zhu shook her hand off.
"Be good and go, this is not a place you should be." Luo Shang looked at her with a bit of anger in her voice.
"The Xiao Zhu shook her head. "No, I'm not leaving. Princess, why don't you come with me? Why don't you come with me?"
"If you don't leave, you might never see me again." Luo Shang looked at her with purple eyes and pursed her white lips.
Xiao Zhu knew that Luo Shang was threatening her. She bit her lips and stood up, afraid that Luo Shang would do something stupid, so she could only leave and think of a way.
At this time, the guards were probably coming back, so it was better for her to leave this place first.
Luo Shang put the jade bangle on her hand. Xiao Zhu rejected it, but due to helplessness, she still decided to accept it.
"Princess, this … This is for you. "
Xiao Zhu stuffed a bracelet into Luo Shang's hands and immediately ran out.
Luo Shang slowly opened her hand and looked at the coral bracelet in her palm. The corners of her lips curled up as she smiled.
When he had saved her that day, she had originally wanted to give it to him, but she had refused it at that time.
Luo Shang still remembered that the Xiao Zhu had said that this was made by her mother herself, that she could live a peaceful life with it.
After Xiao Zhu left, Luo Shang sat down and leaned against the pillar. She half raised her head, her eyes that were lightly flickering were as clear as spring water. Her beautiful black hair wrapped around half of her body, falling behind the woman's back. Her beauty made people want to take pity on her.
"Cough cough …"
Luo Shang coughed lightly. She could see that the sky above the lit candles was filled with smoke, Luo Shang could vaguely see a few black figures passing by outside, and then a bright flame entered her eyes.
Someone was setting the fire! He wanted to kill her!
Luo Shang dragged her body and patted on the door, but the door was locked and the door was filled with firewood, burning fiercely.
The smoke was getting stronger and stronger, causing Luo Shang to no longer have the strength to beat it.
Her body, along with the fire, softened and fell to the ground.
Her trembling eyelashes gently moved up and down. Her fingers were no longer conscious of moving. She only felt that she was about to leave just like that.
"Royal Consort, Royal Consort —" The door opened from the outside and Xiao Zhu ran in. She looked at Luo Shang who was lying on the ground and immediately ran over with her eyes wide open.
The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and it looked like it was going to burn down the whole door.
"What are you doing back here, hurry up and go —" Luo Shang used all her strength to push the little girl out. Just as the little girl was about to turn around, a few pieces of burnt wood on the house beams were ruthlessly smashed down.
Blocking the entrance.
Xiao Zhu could only stomp her feet, and continuously shout at the people inside.
Luo Shang held onto the pillar, but could not see anything. She could not see anything, she only felt her throat dry up, and her head slowly became dizzy.
"Bang ~ ~ ~"
Luo Shang raised her head, and a burning red piece of wood smashed towards her.
Before she could dodge, she closed her eyes. The next moment, she felt someone lift her up into the air.
After a while.
She opened her eyes. She was in a gentle embrace. Who had saved her?
She slowly raised her head and passed out before she could even see the man's face.
