Li Yan was anxious when she didn't see Rong Yi, so she wanted to go to the north of the city to check.
Rong Yi ran out and just heard Li Yan's words. He felt warm in his heart and more relieved. As long as she was fine, he felt relieved.
Seeing that she was going to the north of the city to look for him, Rong Yi hurriedly called her, "Li Yan."
Li Yan turned around when she heard the sound and saw the anxious Rong Yi. His face, hands and clothes were covered with black ash. He was soaked from fighting the fire and being anxious to save people.
"Rong Yi!" Li Yan ran over and pulled Rong Yi over to look at him. "Are you okay?"
"You weren't bullied, were you?"
"No."
The two said in unison.
Then the two smiled at each other again.
Rong Yi could no longer control his inner emotions and hugged Li Yan into his arms, "You are fine, so good."
Li Yan was suddenly hugged into a man's arms. She knew she should knock him to the ground with one punch, but the man was Rong Yi, and she couldn't bear to do so.
"Rong Yi, do you know the consequences of hugging me?"
"I know. I'm ready. I'll go to the general's mansion to propose tomorrow." Rong Yi now understood Li Yan's feelings for him and was overjoyed.
All the fatigue and worries turned into sweetness.
Li Yan let go of Rong Yi and glanced at him, "When did you know I was Li Yan?"
She heard it clearly just now. Rong Yi was not calling Li Yan, but Li Yan.
"This is not the place to talk. Let's have a good talk tomorrow."
Li Yan thought so too, and suggested a teahouse, asking Rong Yi to go there tomorrow morning.
The mission was completed very successfully. The government followed the clues and caught the mastermind behind the incident. It turned out to be the prince's man.
To win over the hearts of the people and for his own amusement, the prince built a manor and captured many women. He had a hobby: virgins. Under his perverse training, even virgins who had never experienced anything were turned into prostitutes.
The case was placed in front of the emperor. Looking at the list on it, the emperor sneered. He didn't expect that there would be so many perverted courtiers among the civil and military officials.
Prince, you are really great.
If this country is handed over to such an absurd prince, the empire built by our ancestors will be destroyed in his hands.
The Crown Prince has been very arrogant recently. Without the Fourth Prince as his opponent, he has become too proud of himself.
The emperor ordered the officials of the Ministry of Justice to handle the case impartially. "Those who should be arrested should be arrested, and those who should be punished should be punished according to the law. As for those girls, they must be properly arranged and must not be harmed again."
Thinking that men were not so delicate in their thoughts, the emperor thought Linlang was a good candidate. He also knew that Linlang was building a pharmaceutical workshop in the capital, so it would be appropriate to arrange those girls there.
The war has emptied the treasury, so as compensation, exempt her from taxes for two years.
At that moment, the emperor gave Linlang a secret decree, asking Eunuch Miao to deliver it.
Eunuch Miao smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, "The Emperor trusts the County Lady by entrusting her with such an important task."
This is not an easy task. Those girls are heartbroken. Not only do we have to take them in, but we also have to do psychological support to help them rekindle their hope of living.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. Linlang will make sure to make proper arrangements for those girls." They are all girls, and Linlang sympathizes with them. Even if the emperor doesn't say it, she will provide them with help.
After seeing off Eunuch Miao, Linlang took the two maids to the courtyard where the girls lived. At the door, they heard crying. When they opened the door, they saw many girls sitting in the courtyard. Some were crying, but most were just staring blankly, not crying or making a fuss.
The crying ones are okay, but what is most worrying is the quiet ones who are numb and have no expression.
Luhua had studied medicine for a year and could take people's pulses, so she went to check the girls first.
Yu Qian went to comfort the crying girl, "Don't worry, our county lady is here, she won't leave you alone, she will make arrangements for everyone. There will be work for you, wages for you, and a new life for you."
"Don't you have to die?"
They lost their virginity and were sent home to be either hanged with a hemp rope or thrown into a well.
They would become a disgrace to their families and would have no chance of survival.
Thinking about the physical and mental torture I've endured these days, I don't have the courage to live anymore. There are people watching here, not letting me die.
"You are the victims, why should you die? Those who do evil should die."
Linlang walked in. "You have been rescued and placed here so that you can live well."
"Being here gives you a chance to be reborn. Don't give up easily."
"You will have new identities from now on. Follow me and live a good life."
"It's so hard for us women in this world. We are bound by all kinds of rules and regulations. Those rules are set by men so that they can better control us."
"Compared to chastity, life is of course more important. You only live once, and no one will remember you when you die. I think dying like that is too pathetic."
Seeing the girls' expressions, Linlang continued, "You all should know who I am. I can promise that if you are willing to follow me, Rong Linlang, I will be responsible until the end."
"The pharmaceutical workshop is under construction and will be operational soon. We need a large number of female workers. Of course, if you have ideals and want to study medicine, I welcome you."
Linlang said distressedly, "I know you've been wronged. Cry if you want. Once you're done crying, cheer up and embrace the new life."
As soon as he finished speaking, the yard was filled with sobs. Luhua and Yuqian cried too. These girls were so pitiful. Even though they were rescued, they were still homeless.
After crying for a long time, the girls finally vented their sobs and stopped crying. They knelt down and kowtowed to Linlang, thanking her for not despising them and being willing to accept them.
Linlang helped the girl in front of her up and told everyone to get up quickly. "Since you sisters trust me, I will definitely settle you all down properly and give you a home."
Linlang started working right away. She made two sets of clothes for each girl. Those who wanted to study medicine followed Luhua, and those who wanted to work in a workshop followed Yuqian.
Yu Qian had worked in a workshop for a while and knew the procedures, so he started training.
There are only two people who are willing to study medicine. After all, not everyone can study medicine. Most of the girls here come from farming families, and few of them can read.
Only after settling the girls did Linlang have time to ask about Rong Yi.
Ah Mu smiled and said, "The two have already expressed their feelings to each other. My father-in-law is looking for a matchmaker and plans to go to the general's mansion to propose marriage tomorrow."
Linlang felt relieved. "I didn't expect it to be so serious this time. Fortunately, they are all safe and the girls have been rescued. I don't know who is behind this, but he deserves to be cut into pieces."
Ah Mu whispered two words in Linlang's ear, and Linlang was shocked. "This is a beast."
The fact that they were able to destroy and investigate the case so quickly must have been due to the considerable effort put in by the Duke of Dingguo and the Marquis of Anchang. If you bully Amu, you must bear the consequences.
Amu said that in this incident, he asked the secret guard to pass on dangerous information to Rong Yi and Li Yan, but Linlang didn't believe it at all.
The problem was solved and everyone was happy.
