The head of the Mu family

Chapter 187 Finding Opportunities

"What happened to those women who played the pipa that you found before?"

Send two people who speak in a language I can understand to serve me.

Those are frail women serving me; you don't need to worry about them helping me escape.

"Of those, some of the beautiful ones were given away, and some others were given to unknown people."

I don't know if there are any left in the manor. I'll have the steward check, and if there are, he'll send two over to you tomorrow.

"What, am I only fit to be served by two pipa players?"

"At home, I can walk eight steps at a time, so how come when I come to the residence of the mighty Marshal Simon, I only have two maids?"

"I'll have the steward send you all the pipa players who are still in the manor!"

"Hmph~ I doubt you can come up with anything interesting."

That very night, three women, whose ages were no longer discernible from the torment they had endured, arrived.

When Huai Sheng spoke to them, they were all in a daze, and their mental state was already showing signs of problems.

The next day, when Shuwu came to torment Huaisheng again, he first tied her hands.

The next day, after bathing, two mute slaves brought in a large pile of face cream.

Looking at the pile of perfumed ointment that was about half a person's height, Huai Sheng realized that they must have emptied out an entire city's worth of perfumed ointment.

In my heart, I earnestly prayed:

In short, I wonder if you'll find this city and discover this unusual thing.

The two mute slaves were only shown to her before they were moved away.

After she finished bathing, the two mute servants applied the ointment to her and then took away the several jars.

Huaisheng then began to distribute the food to the women. Once the women were no longer afraid of Huaisheng, he took their pulses.

Huai Sheng's daily meals all had a medicinal component.

During the day, they endured being tied up and tortured in every way.

Huai Sheng endured this inhuman life for seven or eight consecutive days.

Shu Wu hadn't come for two days, and Huai Sheng's menstrual blood had arrived, which made her breathe a deep sigh of relief.

On this day, Huaisheng was taking the pulses of several women to see if the medicinal diet had any effect.

Two mute slaves were thrown in from outside the door, and two sharp cracking whips immediately fell on their bodies.

The three women's eyes, which had finally managed to focus, vanished instantly.

He hurriedly covered his head and huddled in a corner, trembling all over, repeatedly shouting:

"I'll do anything, just don't hit me! Don't hit me!"

The man holding the whip was a tall man in his early twenties.

A middle-aged woman, around forty years old and dressed very elegantly, came in afterward.

The two men, dressed in cloaks, looked menacing.

The woman rattled off a string of words in a shrill voice, and the man also rattled off a string of words.

"I don't understand!"

Huai Sheng, wrapped in a blanket, looked at them fearlessly and said coldly.

"You are actually a woman from the Great Hao!"

The man spoke in a heavily accented Dahao Mandarin, and then mumbled something to the elegant middle-aged woman.

"Shameless slut, you've seduced the Marshal so much that he's completely out of his mind and can't see anyone else!"

"Hmph~ You must be that cowardly son and his wife, right?"

If you've got the guts, let me go!

Stop talking nonsense and wasting your breath!

The two chattered for a while longer, then the woman picked up the man's whip and lashed it at Huaisheng.

Huai Sheng quickly used the blanket to cover himself, took two steps back, and collapsed onto the woolen bed in front of him.

"Looks like your whole family are cowards!"

Do you see the wound below that beast's neck?

"I did it! If you have the guts to bully an innocent person like me here, you should control your own beasts!"

The woman couldn't understand and was getting anxious.

Shuwu's son mumbled a few words of reassurance and stepped forward with a whip in his hand.

Huai Sheng quickly pulled the blanket over himself to cover himself.

In an instant, Huai Sheng's quilt was pulled up and thrown aside.

The man was stunned by the sight before him, feeling as if all the blood in his body rushed to the top of his head.

The astonished woman before me had a fair and smooth body covered with purplish-blue marks.

She looked to be in her early twenties, with a baby face, and was charming and lovely.

But the figure under the blanket resembled a picture of an exotic enchantress from a book I acquired last year.

The raised whip failed to fall.

Startled, Huai Sheng quickly pulled the blanket back and wrapped himself up.

The tall man wore a cloak, so his private parts were not seen by many people.

The man suddenly realized what was happening, hurriedly turned around, and felt a warm liquid flow onto his lips.

The woman exclaimed in surprise; it turned out the man had a nosebleed.

Seeing this, Huai Sheng had an idea and said in a cold voice:

"I am a doctor!"

You can ask those two mute slaves, or the people outside, what that coward usually calls me.”

The man pinched his nose and asked the two mute slaves. The slaves responded with gestures, and the maid beside them translated.

"A miracle doctor?"

"If you don't believe me, give me a needle, and I can stop your bleeding immediately."

Or you can press your Yingxiang acupoint, and it will feel better in a while.

Huai Sheng stretched out his hand and gestured to the location of the Yingxiang acupoint.

The man pressed down as instructed, and the bleeding stopped shortly afterward.

He chattered on and on with the woman, who then reluctantly let her maid serve her and leave.

The man mumbled a few more words, and then everyone in the room left.

The man raised his whip and shouted at the few women still trembling in the corner:

"go out!"

The three women, dazed and confused, clutched their heads and hurriedly left.

"If you are a doctor, why have you come to the commander's mansion?"

Why aren't you wearing clothes?

Huai Sheng looked at the man before him as if he were a fool, and coldly replied:

"Look at my situation, do you think I came here on my own?"

Look around this room, is there a single piece of clothing inside?

If you don't dare let me go, then shut up!

What a waste of breath!

The man was both annoyed and embarrassed by Huai Sheng's gaze and words.

“My father went to Uncle Tata’s place. My name is Nara.”

Huai Sheng stopped looking at him and stopped talking to him.

Nara sat for a while longer before finally getting up and leaving in a murmur.

Just as I reached the door, I heard a soft yet cold voice say:

"Hey! Get me some clothes, you've got the guts, right?"

"you..."

Nara turned and left in anger, but the two mute slaves still came in to watch.

After a short while, Nara came in again and put down a set of clothes and shoes.

"If you dare, you can stay and eat with us for dinner later."

"You go out first, I'll change my clothes!"

Nara, seemingly lost in thought, blushed and left.

After getting dressed, Huai Sheng felt like a human being again and asked the mute servant to serve him his meal.

Nara then entered, and stared blankly at Huaisheng, who was dressed.

Huai Sheng cursed inwardly:

Damn it, what have you all done to deserve this?

While sitting down to eat, Nara kept glancing at Huaisheng.

What are you looking at!

Can you let me go?

Since you gave me a set of clothes, after I finish eating, please bring me paper and pen.

Does your mother have asthma?

I'll write you a prescription; it's up to you whether you use it or not!

I have a clear sense of right and wrong; those who offend me will suffer a terrible fate.

But I don't owe anyone anything.

After the meal, Nara took out paper and pen, and Huaisheng indeed wrote down the prescription.
