Chapter 674 Farewell

Liu Hema was stunned.

If he comes to ask for the person, will you really return it to him?

What does he want with a half-dead sickly person?

What he wants is money!

"No, I'm not here to pick her up," Liu Hema immediately changed his expression, bowing flatteringly, "Madam Hou is kind-hearted. If you are kind enough, just buy her away. I promise to sign the indenture!"

The housekeeper spat at him, "Do you still have any shame? Your wife is dying, and my wife has spent all her money and effort on her treatment. She hasn't asked you for money, and you still have the nerve to come here and ask for money? Take her away immediately!"

Liu Hema's face was drooling, like a piece of mud that couldn't be shaken off: "Madam, we used to be old neighbors. You are so rich now, even if a little bit of it slips through your fingers, it's enough for me..."

Lu Qiniang's voice was as cold as ice: "If I didn't feel bad that Sister Hehua's life was ruined by you, I would have had you kicked out right now!"

"You feel sorry for her, but I'm her man, so shouldn't I get some benefits? I swear to treat her well in the future!" Liu Hema swore.

"Later?" Lu Qiniang laughed in anger, a cold glint in her eyes that frightened people. "Do you think she has a 'later'?"

She suppressed the urge to chop the beast into pieces and sternly said to the housekeeper, "Make him sign a contract to sell his body! Ten taels of silver, and he will be in the Marquis's mansion!"

"Ten taels of silver, isn't that a bit too little? I've already sold the person to you..." Liu Hema still wanted to make trouble.

"If you don't want to sell it, get out of here right now! Even the Great Immortal can't save you anyway. It doesn't matter whether you die in your pigpen or here!"

Lu Qiniang's expression was resolute, leaving no room for maneuver.

To deal with this kind of scoundrel, you have to be more ruthless and ruthless than him.

Liu Hema's eyes rolled around, and after weighing the pros and cons for a moment, he immediately made the decision: "Sell! I'll sell it!"

Lu Qiniang felt it was dirty to even look at him for one more second, so she turned around and went into the inner courtyard, completely isolating herself from the filth outside.

She sat down beside the lotus bed, held her skinny hand, tried to calm her boiling anger, and spoke to her in a gentle voice.

About a quarter of an hour later, the housekeeper sent a maid to report back: "Madam, the deed has been written, the silver has been paid, and the scoundrel has been sent away."

"Don't delay, send someone to the yamen immediately to get it done thoroughly." Lu Qiniang ordered.

"yes."

Lotus lay on the bed, unaware of the commotion outside.

She just watched Lu Qiniang give orders, and everyone in the mansion obeyed them. She couldn't help but show deep envy in her eyes, and she was also sincerely happy for Lu Qiniang.

It turns out that in this world, there really are women who can live so upright and be so respected.

Before she died, she actually glimpsed the light of another world.

Lu Qiniang slowly told her the whole story.

"Liu Hema has signed the indenture, and the government has also sent someone to handle the formalities. From now on, you will have nothing to do with the Liu family."

“…” Lotus’s cloudy eyes suddenly widened, and her skinny body began to tremble violently.

She clutched Lu Qiniang's hand tightly, her nails almost digging into her flesh, her voice trembling: "Really? Qi Niang, are you serious? I... I'm free? I'm not a member of the Liu family anymore?"

She asked again and again, her eyes full of disbelief, afraid that this was just a fragile dream.

"Really." Lu Qiniang's voice choked with sobs, "From now on, it will be a good life."

Turbid tears gushed out of Lotus's dry eye sockets. It was not sadness, but a lifetime of humiliation, pain, and despair that found an outlet at this moment and turned into hot tears.

She cried silently but heart-wrenchingly, her thin shoulders shaking violently, as if she wanted to cry out all the suffering she had experienced in the past few decades.

Lu Qiniang hugged her tightly, letting her tears soak her clothes.

Lu Qiniang boasted that she had seen the suffering of many women from the lower classes, but now she realized that what she had felt was far from enough.

What the Queen wants to do is so profound.

No matter how difficult the road is, she will continue to move forward unwaveringly.

After a long time, Lotus's crying gradually weakened and turned into intermittent sobs.

She raised her tear-blurred face, and miraculously, a glow of relief appeared on her haggard and gray face.

She used all her strength to hold Lu Qinniang's hand tightly, and forced a smile from the corner of her mouth:

"Good...good...it was worth it. I won't have any regrets even if I die."

At this moment, she felt unprecedented peace and relief.

Meanwhile, Changzhou.

Outside the tent, Liu Jian was hesitating to say goodbye to San Ya, with reluctance written all over his face.

"Sister, tomorrow... I will be leaving for Beijing."

His voice was muffled, and his heart felt heavy as he thought that it would be many years before they would meet again, and he didn't know when.

San Ya acted like a straight man who didn't understand romance. "I know. Let's go. You've been dawdling for so long. You're the prince. It's not a good idea to stay here all the time."

After hearing this, Liu Jian wanted to cry even more.

He hasn't left yet, but I already miss him.

But before he left, his sister began to dislike him.

I want to cry.

"Write to me if you have something to say in the future. If not, don't write to me. Sending 800 miles by express is a waste of time and money, so use it sparingly." San Ya reminded him again with concern.

Liu Jian talked too much and wrote too many letters. She had experienced this before.

Liu Jian: “…”

My heart full of feelings of separation and parting was completely blocked.

"Also," San Ya said seriously, like a concerned elder, "as the Crown Prince, you don't have to strive to be the best in everything, but don't be too useless. You're like a piece of crap that can't be helped."

In her opinion, being too outstanding can easily lead to trouble, and being too useless is even worse; being moderate and safe is best.

What Liu Jian was thinking in his heart was, how could he be deposed "safely"?

Being abandoned is not the end, I have to escape unscathed and sneak back to the northwest to find my sister

The road ahead is difficult, but we cannot stop trying just because it is difficult.

My sister is caring about him!

Liu Jian made up a lot of things in his mind.

The next morning, outside the city gate.

A large group of people are ready to go.

At the moment of departure, in front of many followers and soldiers, Liu Jian tried hard to maintain the dignity of a prince, and did not dare to stare at San Ya openly anymore, but his gaze seemed to have grown a hook, and always unconsciously drifted towards her tall figure.

And what about Sanya? Her attention was entirely on her younger brother Xiaoman.

But San Ya was only concerned with giving instructions to Xiao Man.

——How can it be the same for my own younger brother?

"When you go back, you must be filial to your mother, study hard and learn martial arts to be successful, and don't let her worry."

Xiaoman nodded vigorously, her eyes slightly red.

"Third sister, take care of yourself when you are alone. I will come to see you when I have time."

Which boy can resist the charm of a general sister?

The eldest sister is gentle and friendly, the second sister spends money like water, and the third sister is a heroine who stands tall and proud. Xiaoman is attached to each sister.

Liu Jian watched from the side, his heart boiling with jealousy, and he silently cried out: "Sister! Look at me, sister! I also want advice! I also want care!"

But in the end, San Ya just waved at him.

The horses' hooves raised up dust, and the group finally set out on the journey back to Beijing.
