But wasn't it her pretentiousness that the old landlord liked? The more Jiang Qiaoqiao was reluctant, the more excited he became, and the more he wanted to conquer her.

Jiang Qiaoqiao was too vulgar and superficial. The old landlord found that she seemed no different from other women, so he soon lost interest in her.

Jiang Qiaoqiao, who had fallen out of favor, ultimately could not escape the fate of having to compete with the women in the backyard for an old man.

However, when she was in favor and her life was good, she still did not forget Chen Jinhua. She took some money and rented a place in the county to bring her mother over from her natal home.

However, such days did not last long, as a major earthquake occurred in Qinghe County, and the entire county was reduced to ruins overnight.

Jiang Qiaoqiao and Chen Jinhua survived by chance, and the landlord was also alive, but only a few of his family members were left.

The mansion collapsed and many properties were inevitably destroyed. However, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Even if something is in trouble, you can still salvage a lot by digging among the ruins.

Jiang Qiaoqiao took Chen Jinhua and followed the landlord, staying in the county town and barely surviving the winter.

However, the landlord had a grievance against Chen Jinhua. There was not much food to begin with, and Jiang Qiaoqiao was not favored. She was excluded by the other concubines every day, and she was not well received by the landlord.

Because of Chen Jinhua, she became even more unwelcome and had to endure being looked down upon every day.

Later, Qinghe County was rebuilt. Although the landlords' lives were not as good as before the earthquake, they were at least better than those of ordinary people.

The other concubines joined hands and whispered to the landlord, saying that Jiang Qiaoqiao had been married for such a long time but there was no movement in her belly. They also dug up the fact that she was pregnant before marriage and finally had a miscarriage.

Because when Chen Jinhua's brother and sister-in-law first talked about Jiang Qiaoqiao, they only said that she was unclean, and did not mention that she had been pregnant and had a miscarriage.

The concubines used this as an excuse, saying that she was in bad health and was a hen that couldn't lay eggs. Now she had a burden and was eating and drinking for free at home every day.

Jiang Qiaoqiao was originally an insignificant concubine. She could not bring any benefits to the landlord, could not give birth to children, and brought her mother to eat and drink for free. Of course, the landlord was not willing to allow her to do so.

In the end, the two of them were kicked out, left homeless and with nowhere to go.

Because they had been staying in Qinghe County, they missed out on compensation for the rebuilt houses.

When they returned to Xianhe Village, it was no longer the same as before. Their house was gone, and Chen Jinhua's family had also suffered a great change. They were not willing to take them in.

In the end, there was no choice but for the mother and daughter to embark on a journey with no idea where their destination was.

They were displaced, hungry and cold along the way, and the mother and daughter were not very united. Jiang Qiaoqiao always complained to her. She had never suffered any hardship since childhood, and later lived a life of luxury in the landlord's house. Although she was not favored later, she had enough food and clothing. This kind of displaced life with nowhere to go made her very depressed, and she once disdained her incompetent mother.

Until one day, a carriage came on the road, and the mother and daughter knelt on the side of the road begging for food.

There was a woman sitting in the carriage, she looked to be in her thirties, her face was thickly made up and her expression revealed a shrewd and calculating look.

She gave them food and drink and asked about their experiences.

When Jiang Qiaoqiao received a little benefit or charity, she told everything about her life without reservation.

Little did people know that this woman was a brothel owner, and Jiang Qiaoqiao's situation was exactly what she wanted.

She is young and looks okay. Most importantly, she is already unclean and has suffered so much, so she is easiest to tame. Just give her some sweet treats and she will follow you obediently without any effort.

The madam pretended to be regretful and took the opportunity to extend an olive branch, saying that she sympathized with Jiang Qiaoqiao's situation and that she was the wife of a wealthy family and had returned to visit her relatives. She just happened to be in need of a maid to serve her, and if Jiang Qiaoqiao was willing, she could stay with him and be a maid.

I will never have to wander around, suffer from hunger and cold again.

Of course Jiang Qiaoqiao was willing to do so. Having a place to live and a place to go is much better than the current situation!

Moreover, this old procuress was dressed in silk and satin and wore real gold and silver on her head. She looked like the lady of a wealthy family. She rode in a carriage when she went out, and was followed by servants.

She immediately nodded and agreed, but the madam had said in advance that she was only willing to take her away and not Chen Jinhua, because Chen Jinhua was a burden and taking her back would be useless and would only be a trouble.

The madam told her to make a choice: either follow her or continue living this miserable life with her mother.

This is not an easy choice. Here comes the test of family and future, humanity and morality.

Jiang Qiaoqiao did not hesitate for too long before making her choice. She gritted her teeth and chose to abandon her mother, leave with the brothel owner, and live what she thought was a good life.

The evil of human nature was most truly demonstrated in Jiang Qiaoqiao.

She is a complete ungrateful person.

Chen Jinhua never thought that her daughter, whom she had cherished like the apple of her eye, would abandon her without hesitation, without any regard for the relationship between mother and daughter.

She holds her legs and doesn’t let her go, asking her why she is doing this.

Jiang Qiaoqiao answered her as a matter of course:

"Mom, you've lived most of your life, and it's enough, but I'm still young. I'm only seventeen, which is the best time of my life. I can't just ruin my best years like this. So, I'm sorry, mom, you will understand me, right?"

She cruelly pushed Chen Jinhua away, got on the carriage without looking back, and followed the brothel owner.

She thought that a bright future was waiting for her, so she went to work as a maid in a wealthy family. With her beauty, her experience as a concubine in a landlord's house, and the tricks she had learned, she might be able to marry into a wealthy family and continue to live a life of luxury.

Little did she know that she had brought herself into an irretrievable quagmire.

After she followed the madam to the place, she found out that she was not the wife of a wealthy family at all, but the madam of a brothel, and she was deceived into the brothel.

After he tricked her into going to the building, the woman's expression immediately changed, becoming mean and sarcastic.

She asked someone to wash Jiang Qiaoqiao clean, and was very satisfied when she looked at her still pretty face.

If it is properly taken care of and adjusted, the market should be good in the future.

When Jiang Qiaoqiao thought about the fact that she would become a prostitute with no dignity in the future, she began to regret her decision.

Once you enter this place, what future do you have?
