...----------------...
The painful and haunting memories of his past every sleep seem to come back to reality.
Zhou Beishang was in a dream and was unconscious, accidentally having memories and drowning into the darkest of his times.
That is, when Zhou Beishang was only a few years old and was accused of stealing his late mother's jewelry stolen by Xie Bei Chuan.
Little Zhou Beishang was fearfully drawn into a room filled with profit, since childhood Zhou Beishang had always been afraid of profit.
Little Zhou Beishang was brought into the empty warehouse and locked up, it was heard that from inside the warehouse there was the sound of the cries of children.
"Take me off ! Let go of me !" Shouted little Zhou Beishang as he continued to hit the door.
Not long after, Zhou Yi Nian came over with a cold face and opened the door violently. Little Zhou Beishang seemed to smile happily with tears filling his face.
But, Zhou Yi Nian's next words greatly disappointed the happy little heart of Zhou Beishang.
"Receive your punishment well ! You're a bad person with a despicable attitude, it's really disappointing !" Zhou Yi Nian snapped furiously.
Zhou Beishang's little face instantly changed and immediately kowtowed at Zhou Yi Nian's feet and continued banging his head on the ground until it drained blood.
"Dad ! I didn't do this ! I didn't do this ! I beg you, I'm afraid !" Shouted Zhou Beishang with a cry.
(From this moment on it will only be wearing Zhou Beishang's name without any additional words behind, as this 1 chapter will only tell of Zhou Beishang's consciousness sinking into the memories of the past. )
Zhou Beishang hugged Zhou Yi Nian's legs which made the old man who was not in a good feeling resentfully kick at Zhou Beishang's small body.
Zhou Beishang smashed into the wooden table that was behind and coughed coughfully then stared pusually at Zhou Yi Nian.
"Run your punishment very well, that way I'll forgive you. " Zhou Yi Nian said hurriedly feeling guilty and walked away and locked the door.
For the second time, the light disappeared and darkness devoured Zhou Beishang's petite body. Right now, little Zhou Beishang was filled with wounds all over his body.
His entire body ached but could not move due to hunger, this pain was terrifying.
While from the outside, Zhou Yi Nian went to meet Xie Bei Chuan who looked filled with a sense of victory.
"Urus Beishang, feed him 2 times a day for 1 week. " Said Zhou Yi Nian.
"Yes, Milord. " Xie Bei Chuan said gracefully.
But, unfortunately what Zhou Yi Nian ordered to do outside the capital was not done by Xie Bei Chuan.
Xie Bei Chuan ruthlessly did not give any food to the 10-year-old, only ordering the waiter to send water 2 times a day.
In fact, it could not be considered as clean water, it was the foot-soaking used water by Zhou Ling Ling.
But, Zhou Beishang drank it like it was the only way to keep him alive.
Zhou Beishang drank everything without waste even after it felt like vomiting, an empty stomach that continued to be filled with water made his stomach acid rise.
Zhou Beishang continued to hold on and hold on until finally the third day, it was even difficult to open his eyes again.
Her hair became slightly yellowed due to lack of nutrition and her face became dull and then lay on the cold, dirty ground.
The haystack that became the pillow for his head, unknowingly turned out to be a snake nest.
So, as Zhou Beishang lay on top of the snake's nest, the snake got angry and came out of the nest and bit Zhou Beishang's hand and Zhou Beishang's leg.
Zhou Beishang frowned and felt extremely weak, even to vent his pain, he could not scream or escape could only continue there.
Then the snake returned to its nest and the poison from the snake flowed into its blood very quickly.
Before long, the door opened but her lips had turned blue and had lost consciousness.
Zhou Beishang was dragged out and watered using water by Xie Bei Chuan's servant but, Zhou Beishang showed no sign of soon waking up from his stupor.
"Call the physician, lest this be found by the great Lord !" Xie Bei Chuan's.
"Yes, Madam !"Said Xie Bei Chuan's subordinate.
Finally, Zhou Beishang's wounds were treated with the origin of the ingestion and the poison was removed, although it was not completely healed but it did not endanger lives.
Zhou Beishang, who had regained consciousness from his stupor, woke up in that kneeling position on the hot ground and made the skin peel off.
Both of his hands were tied to the two wooden planks that were on his right and left side, in front of him was Xie Bei Chuan.
Zhou Beishang looked at Xie Bei Chuan hatefully, this kind of thing how could Zhou Beishang not understand him.
The young girl crawled closer to Madam Xie in power with a terrified expression.
"Mrs Xie, please spare my Miss's life !"Shouted the young girl, it was Lan Xiang.
"A - Xiang ! What are you doing ?!" Zhou Beishang asked weakly.
"Mrs Xie, please release Miss !" Lan Xiang's words did not hear Zhou Beishang's cry.
"Don't bow down to the bad guys !" Shouted Zhou Beishang with all his might.
Zhou Beishang looked at Xie Bei Chuan with deep hatred, by then Zhou Beishang had already confirmed that this blood debt would be paid out with twice as much weight and would not stop until 3 lives.
That hatred was deeply carved into his bones, it could only disappear when his bones turned to ashes.
"It's so good ! You fucking child carrier ! Who do you think your mother is, damn it ?!" Snapped Xie Bei Chuan and slapped Zhou Beishang in the face.
"Mrs Zhou, you are someone with a broad heart, please grant my Miss relief !" Said Lan Xiang while hugging Xie Bei Chuan's leg.
"Bas based on a lowly servant ! How dare you embrace my clean feet ! You don't even deserve to lick the tip of my shoe ! Waiter, take this jal*ng away !" Xie Bei Chuan's.
"No ! Don't ! Don't hurt my Miss ! He's innocent !" Lan Xiang shouted frantically and broke into tears as he was dragged away by the 2 other maids.
Zhou Beishang simply stared at Lan Xiang's departure with a slow snort, better like this. The boy had been following her since young.
Suffering so much trouble with him, this time if he died here, today, then Lan Xiang would not be involved.
"Mrs Zhou, let me confess that I stole the jewelry. But, do you not feel guilty in the heart of your beast ? Is your pride that low ? Using others as a shield for you, if I were you then I would feel very ashamed." Said Zhou Beishang with a cold smile.
"Who is the original thief, you know it clearly in your heart. Someday, there will be times when you feel this too !" Zhou Beishang continued with a hateful look.
Plaque !!
Zhou Beishang's face regained another extremely powerful slap until people shuddered in horror when they heard it.
"This is a lesson to little jal*ng like you, have been accusing and slandering others since young, truly despicable !" Said Xie Bei Chuan with a thick face.
"Right now, you can still laugh happily, but I swear that you will get the same thing you did today. " Said Zhou Beishang.
This time, Zhou Beishang was determined to die and not leave behind the slightest fear.
"Ha ha ha, laugh what are you taking out ? Do you dream of becoming a goose ? while you're just an ugly frog ? Your imagination is wild ! Whip him 10 times and let him keep basking here until the sun goes down !" Xie Bei Chuan's orders were cruel and cold-blooded.
"Yes, Madam. " Say the servants of the residence very excitedly.
Ah !!!
The first whip was cast on his back which pushed him forward and another whip followed.
His back skin opened and drained blood and was again struck by a whip viciously.
The power used was completely unchanged from that used to deal with an adult male over 20 years old.
In fact, the adult man could not withstand this torture without a sound but Zhou Beishang could do his.
It was not that he was very strong or did not have any more pain, the pain of course he had it, it would be nice if he could not feel the pain.
But, in fact Zhou Beishang could not even take out a single word let alone shout and curse at others.
When the tenth whip, Zhou Beishang could no longer bear it and spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood.
The pain crawled all over her body uncontrollably, desperately wanting to scream but unable to do so.
After the tenth lash, everyone laughed happily as if they had succeeded in punishing a great sinner.
They went to follow Xie Bei Chuan's steps and left him alone full of blood and both hands bound in the scorching sun.
This is the peak of summer where the heat of the sun is at its peak, where the temperature can reach 40 degrees.
At that moment, the entire skin on his knees peeled off and his face turned red. Blood and sweat mixed into one and could not be separated.
It was a witness to how much injustice Zhou Beishang, the young girl, received.
Despite being oppressed in such a way, it still had a backbone and refused to curry favor with others in a despicable manner.
Refusing to lower his self-esteem and admit mistakes that are not his, feeling that it is better to accept death than to admit mistakes that are not made by him.
Note: There will be one more chapter telling the past as well, but about Emperor Lin Xi and Xia Ling, starting from the beginning of their meeting.
And how could Xia Ling escape from the Tang Dynasty palace and choose to live a difficult life instead of meeting Lin Xi again.
