I want to make progress

Chapter 55 Ten Fingers Connected to Hearts
"Zhizhi... no matter what you become, you are still the Zhizhi that I like."

Gu Changheng's face was full of heartache as he wiped the tears from her face. He thought he was useless. If he had informed his mother about the proposal earlier, he and Zhizhi would not be so miserable now.

"Heh..." Lady Su smiled and started to cry. She sniffed and looked at him and said, "I came out of the palace today because I wanted to see what the person who hurt you and your brother looks like. Now it seems that she is just so-so. Ah Heng, she is not worthy of you. My Ah Heng deserves the best girl."

"Shu Yunfu!"

It's hard to describe the feeling as Shu Yunfu stood aside and watched the two of them show off their love. She said she felt so disgusted that she wanted to vomit. It was fine for the two of them to have a secret meeting, was there any need to be so disgusting? She just didn't expect that they still remembered her at this time.

Being called out suddenly, Shu Yunfu got a little angry and took a step back unconsciously, feeling a little panicked.

This little white flower has turned into a man-eating plant, and Gu Changheng is still such a bootlicker. He truly loves her completely, so today he wants to do something to this girl who is not worthy of Ah Heng!
"You...what are you going to do!"

Shu Yunfu clutched her sleeves tightly in fear, and was on high alert. "Second Master, don't forget that I still have five secret letters in my hand. If anything happens to me, you will not have an easy life!"

"Don't worry! I won't take your life. Ah Heng does need someone to bet on Youyou's mouth, but that doesn't mean we can let you threaten us!"

Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Su Wanzhi finally showed the look that a woman in the harem should have, "I am the daughter of a criminal, of low status, but because of you, my brother broke a leg, and because of you, Ah Heng, he was punished by the family. Now you dare to threaten us, so I naturally have to make you understand that only those who are obedient are qualified to be used!"

"you……"

I became more and more fearful in my heart, wondering what this woman wanted to do!
"Lan Yin! Break her ten fingers for me!"

Shu Yunfu was shocked and no longer cared about maintaining her persona. She turned around and ran without saying a word. That woman was indeed a lunatic!

But just as she turned around and ran two steps, the maid who had been waiting beside Lady Su without saying a word appeared behind her and grabbed her long hair.

"what!"

I just felt a pain in my scalp, and then I was thrown into the air. The moment I landed, my whole body was in pain as if it was falling apart. I curled up on the ground for a long time and couldn't speak.

"stop!"

Just when Shu Shuyunfu thought she was doomed today, Gu Changheng stopped Lan Yin who was getting closer to her.

"Ah Heng, do you feel sorry for her?"

The watery eyes that flashed in that moment made Shu Yunfu have to admit that this woman was something, and Gu Changheng was not surprised to feel distressed.

"What nonsense are you talking about." Gu Changheng glanced at her, and all his attention was on Su Meiren. "But she is from my Yingguo Mansion after all. Because she helped my eldest brother in Xuancheng, my eldest brother protected her a little. If this injury is too obvious and my eldest brother knows about it, I'm afraid..."

It's not that I feel heartbroken, it's just that the wound on my back that has never healed is aching. If my eldest brother finds out, I'm afraid this time it won't just be family punishment.

"The reason why your brother and I were punished by your eldest brother was because you happened to save her, and he was very angry." He pursed his lips. Although he was unwilling to always be shrouded in the shadow of Gu Changting, he really couldn't resist, not to mention that he was in the wrong in this matter.

It hadn’t been long since the last incident. If Gu Changting knew that he and Zhizhi were having a secret meeting again…

"I have no objection if you want to punish her, but you can't leave any obvious marks on her body." You bastard!
Shu Yunfu was almost angry to death. Fortunately, she had no feelings for Gu Changheng. Such a cold-blooded and heartless scumbag and Su Wanzhi, such a bitch, were a perfect match!
Lock it up!
Just as Shu Yunfu was gritting her teeth, Concubine Su just smiled calmly, with disdain in her eyes, "If she wants to stay alive, she won't dare to reveal a single thing, otherwise there are plenty of ways in the palace to make a person's life worse than death!"

Regret! Endless regret!

Shu Yunfu was really scared. In front of these two bastards, she couldn't hide in the space. She clenched her fists, thinking that her fingers would not be really in danger. If she had known the situation would turn out like this, she would never have followed them here even if she was beaten to death.

His eyes were rolling around in panic. He couldn't just sit there and wait to die. He had to save himself!
"Then let's fight to the death! If you dare to touch me, I won't let you off easily. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Let's see who is more cruel!"

He forced himself to sit up, staring at the two men, not letting even a trace of fear show through, grinning with a hint of madness in his eyes, "Do you dare to compete?"

Silence filled the air, and the smiling face finally turned gloomy. "It seems that you really have some skills."

"Thank you for the compliment, my lady. I am just an orphan, so I must be able to protect myself!"

Those five secret letters were not only her means of survival, but also her trump card to control Gu Changheng and Su Meiren.

As she expected, Gu Changheng was not a big threat, but Su Wanzhi was a difficult woman to deal with. Even with the five secret letters in her hands, she was not sure she could escape unscathed.

"Haha...haha...good, good, good! Aunt Shu is really capable. I am really impressed by her!"

Her chest was rising and falling rapidly. Su Wanzhi's heart was far from being as calm as she appeared to be. But she soon calmed down and just sneered, "Lan Yin, pull out her nails!"

"Yes!"

Seeing Lan Yin approaching, Shu Yunfu's pupils shrank sharply, "Are you really not afraid of me..."

"It's just a few nails. Are you going to fight to the death with us over this?"

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

This feeling of being fearless, of being superior, of being powerless...

"Ah~!"

In her previous life, her hands were not beautiful because she had done a lot of rough work. But even so, after she had no worries about food and clothing, she began to consciously take care of them and liked to do manicures, not for anything else, but just to feel good when she looked at such beautiful nails.

It's just that it's really inconvenient after doing a manicure, but this won't make her lose this hobby. It's just that sometimes when she accidentally breaks her nails, the heartache is one thing, and the physical pain is another.

The fingers are connected to the heart. This is not just a casual saying. If your nails are injured, it really hurts.

But it was not until now, when the entire nail was violently pulled out from her finger, that she realized how insignificant the pain of accidentally injuring the nail was.

Wailing rang out in the private room, fingers trembled in pain, cold sweat dripped from forehead, and pink lips lost their color in an instant. The once beautiful and charming woman became haggard and embarrassed in just a moment.
