Chapter 455 My stepmother wants to send me to her sixty-year-old cousin as a concubine
The three men gave the bags they were carrying to Nan Ba, who placed them on the table one by one, waiting to hand them over to Ye Tingyu later.
He turned around and told the three people: "From now on, you will live in the backyard of the People's Hospital."
"And the general? Where does he live?"
"Yes! Doesn't the general live here?"
"Is the General going home with his wife?"
Glancing at the three smooth-talking subordinates, Nan Ba hesitated for a moment and said, "I should stay here for the time being."
It’s not so soon to go back, Yu’er hasn’t agreed yet.
Yu'er agreed, but Duke Anguo hadn't nodded yet. She suddenly felt that it might be difficult for her to get married.
He needs to pry open mountains one by one, and then climb over them to get to the woman he likes.
This is what he is going to do.
As soon as Nan Bayi left, Ye Tingyu followed him into the backyard. She didn't like looking at a woman kneeling on the ground.
What about the daughter of the deputy envoy of the Ministry of Public Security? What a shameless idiot.
Her sister-in-law often taught her that when she encountered a problem, she should solve it. It was useless to blame others. If she wanted to marry herself off, she should marry someone with a clean record. Wouldn't it be shameful to get it by such means?
Why bother if men still despise you?
Du Wanwan pulled Liu Heyun, who was kneeling on the ground, up. She really didn't like people kneeling to her.
"Miss Liu! If you have something to say, please talk to me nicely. There's no need to kneel down. I am not worthy of this position. Tell me! How do you want me to help you?"
Liu Heyun hesitated for a moment and then expressed her thoughts.
"Doctor Du! I am a concubine of my family. My stepmother wants to send me to her cousin who is over 60 years old to be a concubine. I don't want to, but I don't know what to do, so I can only sneak out and try my luck.
If I can find someone I like to marry me, maybe I can escape the fate of being a concubine."
So that's how it is, Du Wanwan sighed in her heart and looked at Liu Heyun in front of her again. Although the little girl was young, she was strong-willed and dared to fight against her stepmother, but unfortunately she used the wrong means.
"Ms. Liu! Do you think the man you like is reliable?" Du Wanwan asked indifferently.
Liu Heyun was startled and didn't know how to answer Du Wanwan's question.
Yes! Is the man she likes reliable? She is a concubine's daughter, and her marriage is not her own decision.
If she angered her stepmother, what would happen to her? What would happen to her aunt?
"Doctor Du! But what other options do women have besides getting married?" Liu Heyun burst into tears, "In order to please her cousin and pave the way for the eldest son, how could our stepmother care about the life and death of us concubines?
I only ask Doctor Du to give me a medicine that will make disgusting things grow all over my body, and then my stepmother will not give me to her cousin."
The maid beside her shook her head and reminded her: "No, young lady! If that happens, you will be sent to a farm outside by the Madam, and you will never be able to return to the mansion. You will have no hope for the rest of your life."
Du Wanwan looked at the master and servant with a frown on her face. Were all illegitimate women in ancient times so miserable?
Being sent back and forth like cargo?
"Ms. Liu! What are you good at?"
When Liu Heyun suddenly heard this question, she was stunned. She even forgot to take back the tears in her eyes, which kept swirling there.
"I am good at embroidery, but not much else. I have read a little poetry and can read."
"Do you have any money to keep with you?"
"Yes, but not much, just over three hundred taels of silver."
After all, he is still a child, and he reveals his true identity without realizing it.
Du Wanwan gave her a meaningful look and said, "I can give you the powder you want. It's not for eating, but for applying on the body. It will heal the rash in about a cup of tea. It's very itchy and will bleed if you scratch it.
I'll give you the antidote, as long as you can bear the itching. I'll give you another suggestion, if you want to change your fate, this method won't work.
You got away with it this time, but what about next time? It's better to deal with it as soon as possible. To kill a snake, you need to hit it at its weakest point. To capture a person, you need to have something to hold over him. Do you understand what I mean?"
Liu Heyun nodded: "Thank you, Doctor Du! I understand."
"In fact, getting married is the dumbest way." Du Wanwan thought about it and felt that she should give the little girl some advice. "The deputy envoy of the Ministry of Public Administration is a fourth-rank official, right? Generally, people without official status would not dare to marry you.
Since your stepmother has already arranged your destination, she will not let you escape easily. Whoever dares to marry you will have to pay the price. At the very least, he will be imprisoned, and at the worst, he will die. Think carefully about whether what I said is right or not. "
Liu Heyun nodded helplessly: "Doctor Du is right, the reason why I went to find that young man just now is because I think he is not an ordinary person.
If it were an ordinary person, my stepmother would not take me seriously. But I am a concubine's daughter, and it is almost impossible for me to marry into a wealthy family. The best outcome is to find a poor scholar and become his wife.
But I don't have that kind of fate. If I were to be a concubine to someone of my age, I wouldn't mind. I'd just be eating and waiting to die. But my stepmother wants to give me to this old man as a concubine, and I'd rather die than obey."
Hearing this, Du Wanwan stood up and went to the examination room and stayed there for a while. In fact, she took the medicine powder out of the space and held it in her hand.
There were two small glass bottles containing medicinal powder, which Yaya prepared according to Du Wanwan's instructions.
"This is the powder. The one in the white bottle is for application. When you get home, add water and stir evenly, then apply it on your skin.
The blue bottle contains the antidote. The problem is solved. Mix the powder into a liquid and apply it to the rash. After about two applications, the rash will disappear completely. "
Liu Heyun took the bottle from Du Wanwan and was very grateful. She handed it to the maid and asked, "How much is this medicine powder?"
"I'll give it to you." Du Wanwan waved her hand, "Originally I shouldn't have given you this, but as a woman, I also hope to help you out of your predicament.
If you have nothing to do, you can go to Fengguang Lane in the east of the city. It's a good time to go there now. Go quickly! Whether I can help you or not depends on your ability."
Liu Heyun and the maid's eyes widened. The maid opened her mouth to ask something, but Liu Heyun glanced at her and then she shut up.
The two men stood up, bowed to Du Wanwan, and quickly got into the car and left.
East City Scenery Lane? What's there?
The master and servant hurried to the east of the city, found Fengguang Lane, and walked in slowly.
Suddenly, the maid stretched out her hand, pointed excitedly at the carriage in front, and said to Liu Heyun excitedly: "Miss! Look, it's Madam's carriage."
Liu Heyun lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw that the carriage that her stepmother usually rode in was parked outside a family's gate.
Although Fengguang Lane has a nice name, it is actually a very shabby place, inhabited by ordinary people. It is not at all "scenery".
What is the stepmother doing here for no reason?
Why would she appear in such a shabby place, given her arrogant and indifferent attitude all day long?
Is she doing something shameful here?
How did Dr. Du from the People's Hospital know about this? Did he encounter it?
