My Cruel King
Burden
Author
Hello babies...this is my another bl stry...hope u like it(~￣³￣)~
Song Liu
Why r u so slow? Don't want to move your hands, huh?
Song Liu then gestured her maid and the maid served her hot tea.
Song Liu elegantly took the tea and moved the tea leaves over with the lid and sipped on it.
Song Liu
Tch!! What is this!! My taste is all ruined!!
The maid hurriedly kneeled down and asked forgiveness over and over.
Song Liu then poured the whole cup of hot tea over Song Rui's hands.
Song Rui
*Winces with pain*
Song Liu
That's good!! No noise!
The maid felt a bit pity for Song Rui but couldn't say anything. She just also stooped talking.
Song Liu
Hmm...A'Hua, let's go to the garden.
The maid named Hua Xin helped Song Liu up and went out of the room together.
Song Rui
(Again she burned my hand!! What did I do to her that she has to torture me like this!!!)
Song Rui
*Crying silently*
Song Rui is mute. He can't talk from the age of 10 because of a big traumatic incident.
And soon after that incident his mother died of illness and his father married a concubine.
Song Rui's mother was the legitimate wife of the Song family and so Song Rui was the legitimate son and the only heir of the Song family.
But that incident which happened 10 years ago changed Song Rui's life upside-down.
Now the concubine's children can treat Song Rui worse than a servant. The concubine's son will inherit the Song family in the future.
Though many people r talking about it in the city but no one dares to question the Song family as they r the most prestigious and noble family in Nanhai city for 300 years.
And also no one knows about the inside story as why the legitimate son is being treated like this in his own family.
Song Rui still cleaned the whole room and got up tremblingly.
Song Rui is being malnourished for a long time so his body is very weak. Even taking ten steps at a time makes him dizzy to the point where he can't stand properly.
But still he have to work.
..........
Young master...
..........
*Softly calls Song Rui*
Song Rui
*Making gestures*
**The gesture talking would be in this <> bracket**
Song Rui
<How many times do I have to warn u not to call me that, uncle Shen?>
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
U don't have to worry! I know when and what am I talking!
Song Rui
*Sighs helplessly*
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
Young master, please come with me...I'll treat your wounds!
Song Rui
*Shakes head as no*
Song Rui
<They'll understand! You'll be in trouble then!>
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
But young master...the wound would get worse by the time!
Song Rui
<I can manage...I'll come to u at night! Now go! Someone will see us!>
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
*Sighs*
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
Okay...u have to come, okay?
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
*Leaves*
Song Rui
(There is still someone who cares about me! But what can he do with that limited power? I can't even pay back his kindness...so this kindness burdens me more!)
Hopes
In the whole day Song Rui worked hard with his injured hand but no one paid attention to him.
Because this became the everyday scene in the Song family.
Song Rui was so tired that just lifting his head made him wince in pain.
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
Ah, u came!! Please come in, young master!!
Song Rui
<Sorry for troubling u!>
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
No! No!! No trouble!! Its my fault that I can't take care of u! When Madam was still alive, I should have did something to save u...but who knew that the lord will...
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
*Sigh*
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
*Applies medicine on Song Rui's hand*
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
Young master....when will the day come?
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
When u can be finally free from this hell!! Then I can go to underworld peacefully.
Song Rui
<When my death comes....>
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
Young master!!!
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
*Excliams*
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
You shouldn't say these ominous things!! You shouldn't lose hopes!! Someone will really come to save u!! Heaven will not let u suffer like this!!
Song Rui
<Thank u, uncle Shen...I am leaving now!>
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
Okay...be careful young master!
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
*Sigh*
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
Please send someone to save this child now!! He had suffered enough!!
Song Rui
*Arranging the bed*
Song Rui's room can't be called a room. It was just a cottage. Song Rui would sleep on a bed made of haystack and just a torn robe to cover himself. There were many holes in the ceiling tiles and if it rains, Song Rui had scoot at a corner to take shelter from the rain.
It was winter night and there was snow everywhere!
Song Rui curled on the haystack and kept shivering. Winter nights were bitting cold. In the whole Song mansion maybe he was the only one who hated the winter to his bones. Because he didn't have the leisure to enjoy snowflakes.
Song Rui
(I have killed them long ago!! Now there just remains my empty soul and my dying wish! I can't even suicide because of my mother's promise...)
Song Rui
(Just wishing for the day when I can finally die in peace!)
Days were going by like before when suddenly the Song family went uproar.
Xiao Mingui
My lord, what should we do now? I don't want to send our fragile daughter to that hell!!
Xiao Mingui
*Wiping tears*
Xiao Mingui
My lord! Please do something...
Song Huaishi
Argh!! Don't disturb me!! I am thinking!!
Xiao Mingui
But my lord, I don't understand why the emperor suddenly bestowed a marriage on King Lan? And it also happened to be from our Song family?
Song Huaishi
That is also what I am worrying about! We r from noble family but there r more noble family there in the capital than us...then why us?
Xiao Mingui
Lord, does the emperor fear—
Song Huaishi
Don't say anything useless!! Even the walls have ears!!
Xiao Mingui
Sorry my lord! But our daughter...
Song Liu
Father, if u allow I can suggest something!
Song Liu
How about we send Song Rui?
Xiao Mingui
(Thats my daughter!!)
Xiao Mingui
What r u saying Xiao Liu?? How can we send Song Rui there?
Song Huaishi
Why can we not send him?
Xiao Mingui
But my lord he is the legitimate son after all....
Xiao Mingui
And also he is a man!
Song Huaishi
I heard King Lan never touched a girl before...then maybe he is...let Song Rui go there!! Our daughter can't go there...its dangerous!
Xiao Mingui
But my lord, Song Rui he—
Song Huaishi
I don't want to hear anything!! Go and tell him to get ready in these days!!
Song Liu
Mother, let me say this good news to him...
Xiao Mingui
Go...finally he can leave...your brother won't have any obstacles after he leaves...
Song Liu
Yes, mother...gege can finally inherit the family!!
Bestow marraige
Song Rui
<Miss, do u need something?>
Song Liu
Argh!! Don't just move ur hands! I can't understand anything!!
Song Liu
Today I am in a good mood so I won't do anything to u!!
Song Liu
Ah, its also a good news for u!! Since u can finally leave from this hell!!
Song Rui
(What does she means? Leave from here?)
Song Liu
Since u r going to get married...u have to live with ur husband, right?
Song Rui
(Marry? Husband? What is she saying?)
Song Liu
*Enjoying Song Rui's expressions*
Song Liu
But its an honour to die as a queen, right? At least at your deathbed u won't be so useless!!
Song Rui
*Looks at Song Liu*
Song Liu
U r going to be King Lan's queen!! So, aren't u gonna die just after u become a queen? So, u should be happy!!
Song Rui
*Drops the ceramic vase*
Song Liu
*Slaps Song Rui hard*
Song Liu
U bast***!!! How dare u break the vase? It was a gift from my gege!!!!
Song Rui
*Falls on the floor*
Song Rui
*Tears rolling down*
Song Rui
(King Lan? They r going to send me to King Lan?)
Song Liu
Again with ur fragile drama!! Momo! Beat him up for me!! I didn't want to do anything to him but he really had to get on my nerves!!
Song Liu
Then let me teach him a lesson!!!
A maid stepped out and started to beat Song Rui with the whip.
Song Rui
*Whimpers in pain*
Song Rui
(Finally I can die...the day is coming...but why don't I feel happy? Did I still have some hope?)
Song Rui
(Hopes...they have to die with me!!)
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
Young master....
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
Young master, please come to my room! I have something to say!
Song Rui stands up very slowly as his whole body was paining. He felt weak all over. But he is used to it. So, he just followed the butler out.
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
Young master...here take these money and go anywhere!!
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
Young master...u can't stay here anymore!! I didn't know that they...they would stoop so low!! Even the lord didn't say anything!!
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
If u marry that King Lan, u r going to die!! So take these money that I saved all these years and flee from here!!
Song Rui
*Shakes head as no*
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
Young master!!! This is not the time when u should still consider their reputation!! U have to save ur life...
Song Rui
<I am not thinking for them...I am saying this for myself...I'll be going...since my dying wish is finally going to complete then I want to go there...>
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
*Tears rolling down*
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
Young master...please...listen to this old man now!! Leave from here!! Don't think about dying!!
Song Rui
<Then where would I go? Who would take a person like me in? What would I do when I leave?>
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
That can be solved after some time...I'll contact u later...but now u leave!!
Song Rui
<Uncle...I owe u...but I don't want to owe u anymore!! I am going to marry! At least my death won't be here in hell in the hands of my own persons! It's better to die from his hand than my father!>
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
Young master.....
Song Rui
<This is my fate!! I have to accept this! At least before my dying I can see the world outside...so I am going there as his wife....>
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
What should I do? Madam was a stubborn person and now u also take after ur mother!! That time ur mother also defied me and u r also doing this!!
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
How can u not value ur own life!!
Song Rui
<Uncle, I have some doubts! Can u answer me?>
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
What doubts?
Song Rui
<Why am I going to be the queen and not a concubine? As far as I know even though he is neglected, he is still from the royal blood so how can the emperor marry him to someone like me?>
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
This...I also don't know...but I heard that the emperor fears that King Lan would surpass him. So even the Chu family is going under pressure these days...so marrying into our family he can't grow any backer.
Song Rui
<I understand! Then I'll be leaving? When is the wedding?>
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
In a week?
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
Yeah...the emperor wants to solve this as soon as possible!
Song Rui
<I'll leave now then!>
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
Young master please think again!! I'll always be there for u!!
Song Rui
<Thank u for all these years, uncle Shen! I couldn't pay u enough!!>
Shen Dazhou (Butler)
Young master, its this servants honour to serve u!!
Song Rui
(Honour? Its ur ill fate to mingle with someone like me!!)
