Chapter 1097 The loyal maid promoted to concubine (17)

However, no matter how much Gui Yunlai and Zhang Qishan regretted and suffered, the ending could not be changed. Before, Gui Yunlai had thought about divorcing Zhang Qishan and returning to her parents' home to avoid being exiled. However, she had done things too ruthlessly before and offended her parents' home too badly. Her biological father and stepmother wanted her to be exiled and suffer with them, and were not willing to take the initiative to let her divorce Zhang Qishan. After knowing that she would be exiled, they even humiliated Gui Yunlai with a proud look on their faces, making Gui Yunlai feel ashamed and angry to death.

But she was no longer the high-ranking and consort of the Prince of Anding, who looked down on everyone. She was a sinner, so she could only watch helplessly as the enemy whom she once trampled under her feet came to humiliate her, and she was powerless to do anything.

On the day when the Zhang family was exiled, Shi Chu deliberately did not set out to sell buns, but followed the people who were watching the fun to see Gui Yunlai and Zhang Qishan off.

Gui Yunlai now has a shackle around his neck, and his hands and feet are tied up with iron chains. He can't walk properly, and occasionally he stumbles because of the shackles.

Her once beautiful face had now become dirty and filthy, so dirty that it was almost impossible to see her true features. Her hair was messy and greasy and tangled, and her whole body was dirty and smelly. Compared with her previous appearance as a noble lady, she was almost a different person.

Shi Chu was very satisfied to see her in such a state of disgrace. However, when she was still the consort of the prince, she didn't care about other people's lives at all. Everyone was a flag in her hand and she could manipulate them at will. But now, she has become an exiled criminal. Her life is no longer in her own hands. The people are hitting her head with rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves, and she is called a vicious and crazy woman. When she sets foot on the road of exile, more unbearable things will follow...

And the self-important Zhang Qishan, I wonder if he will feel pain when his beloved wife resents and scolds him? Will he regret seeing his elderly parents suffer because of him?

Of course, the former Marquis of Anding and his wife were not good people either. They had killed more than one innocent person, and being exiled was a way for them to atone for their sins.

Shi Chu watched Gui Yunlai being whipped with a whip by the officers in shame and anger, and being ordered to walk away quickly. She could not help but chuckle, turned around and no longer paid attention to them, because she knew that these two culprits who caused the original owner to die would live a life worse than death in the future.

The main criminals such as the Fourth Prince and Zhang Qishan were sentenced, and the servants in their mansions were also to be sold. Shi Chu found several pawnbrokers and asked many people before she found out which pawnbroker the Zhang family's original servants were in, and she hurried over.

Fortunately, she arrived not too late and soon saw Honeysuckle tied up with a group of maids and servants.

Honeysuckle looked very haggard at this time, with a numb expression on her face and dull eyes, like a puppet without a soul.

"Linde!" Shi Chu couldn't help but call her. At first, Rende didn't respond. Shi Chu called her several times before Rende's eyes turned and she began to look around.

When she saw Shi Chu, her tears suddenly flowed out and she cried inconsolably: "Du, Du Xiang..."

Shi Chu squeezed through the bargaining crowd to come to Ren Dong and comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll buy you now."

"Du Xiang! Thank you..." Rendong cried bitterly. She thought she didn't know where she would be sold to, but it would not be a good place. She had already thought about it. If she really ended up in such a dirty place, she would commit suicide to preserve her innocence. But she didn't expect that when she was already in despair, her good sister from the past appeared. She was overwhelmed with joy and sorrow, crying and laughing.

Shi Chu took her hand and said to Ren Yazi: "I want this, give me a price!"

Ren Yazi's eyes suddenly lit up and he praised Honeysuckle to the skies, with only one purpose: to raise the price even higher.

Although Shi Chu was not short of money, he was not the kind of person who would give money away easily. He negotiated a suitable price with the human trafficker and bought Honeysuckle.

Shi Chu stuffed the indenture contract directly into Ren Dong's hands and said, "Go to the government one day to cancel your slavery, live a good life in the future, and forget all the things that happened in the past."

Ren Dong refused to answer with red and swollen eyes, saying: "No, Du Xiang, I am a criminal slave now and cannot be deregistered. Since you bought me, I will follow you in the future. Where did you go after leaving Anding Marquis Mansion? I couldn't find you and thought you had left the capital. I was sad for a long time..."

When Shi Chu saw that she started crying again, he quickly comforted her: "Don't worry, I'm doing well now. I bought a small house and I sell buns every day. I can support myself."

"That's good." Ren Dong finally felt relieved after hearing her say that. After a while, she said worriedly, "But you can't make much money selling buns, right? You just spent a lot of money to buy me, what are you going to do in the future? Why don't you sell me back? I can't let you waste your money..."

Shi Chu sighed. She only knew that Ren Dong was a good person before, but she didn't expect that she was so good as a saint. But never mind, at least she had been very good to the original owner from beginning to end, so she said patiently: "Ren Dong, have you forgotten that the Crown Prince's wife gave me two hundred taels of silver when I left? The money I paid for you was part of that two hundred taels of silver, so don't worry."

Only then did Honeysuckle stop worrying about it.

"This place is not very good, let's leave quickly." Shi Chu hurriedly urged Rendong.

"Okay." Ren Dong let Shi Chu pull her out of the pawnshop, but after she came out, she became depressed again and said, "I don't know where my parents were sold to, and whether I can see them again in the future... I hope their new owners are kind people, and don't meet any harsh ones..."

Shi Chu paused and asked her, "Do you want to go back and see if they have been bought? If not, I can lend you money to buy them."

"Is it really possible?" Honeysuckle asked in surprise. She couldn't bear to see her elderly parents being sold into slavery again. After Shi Chu gave her a hope, she couldn't wait to grab it.

"Of course, let's go in now. If your parents are sold, it will be too late." Shi Chu said, and the two of them hurried into the dental clinic again.

Fortunately, Honeysuckle's parents were already quite old and few people were interested in them, so Honeysuckle still had time to buy them.

"Where is your fiancé?" Shi Chu suddenly remembered Rendong's fiancé and asked.

Honeysuckle's expression froze for a moment, and she lowered her head. Finally, it was Honeysuckle's mother who spoke: "That unfaithful man had long ago found a way to have him redeemed, but he never thought of helping Honeysuckle and us. When he left, he even said that Honeysuckle was his fiancée after all, and if she fell into such a miserable state in the future, she should commit suicide and not tarnish his reputation..."
