One month is the limit of Song Dujuan's waiting time.
Even if the Prince of Yan were cunning, he wouldn't have gone a whole month without sending anyone to see her.
It can only be said that she did not have the opportunity to cooperate with the Prince of Yan.
She made a decision: to try a different company.
For the past month, she hasn't visited the Song family. This isn't just because she has the means to live a life of luxury, but also because she doesn't want the people from the Prince of Yan's mansion to know that she has a large group of people behind her. Otherwise, her intentions will be revealed, and if the Prince of Yan's mansion avoids her, then all her plans will have been in vain.
While searching for the Song family, Song Dujuan remained vigilant about her surroundings.
This is her trump card; it must not be revealed.
However, she did not notice anything unusual.
It seems that the Prince of Yan's mansion doesn't care about her existence at all. Come to think of it, she's just a country girl, so insignificant in a place like the capital.
The Prince of Yan was usually so busy that he probably didn't take her words seriously at all.
Song Dujuan went to see the Song family with peace of mind.
After a month of nourishing meals with plenty of meat and vegetables, and with good food and sleep, Song Dujuan has become much healthier, with fuller skin and a vibrant spirit.
The Song family, however, were quite different.
They had nowhere to stay, so they slept under the moat bridge at night, using a pile of tattered mats and blankets they had collected from somewhere.
As for food, they were often hungry, emaciated, and sallow-faced. They all had messy, dirty hair, and their clothes were tattered and infested with lice.
The two children often cried from hunger, and to make matters worse, Song Qimu's wife, Bai, was pregnant.
So when Song Dujuan stood in front of the Song family, it was as if a fairy had descended, so unreal.
The Song family felt that the visitor looked very familiar. Upon closer inspection, they realized that it was none other than Song Dujuan.
The contrast between her and their appearances was like night and day.
"Dujuan, it's you!" Song Qijin shouted, staring at Song Dujuan in disbelief.
He said angrily, "It seems you've had a great month. Where have you been enjoying yourself?"
The other members of the Song family were also very angry, glaring at Song Dujuan and demanding an explanation.
They had been wandering around for a month, living like beggars, while Song Dujuan had taken good care of herself, becoming fair and plump.
Song Fusheng remained silent, his face showing dissatisfaction.
Earlier, when the Song family speculated about Song Dujuan, he spoke up for her, thinking she was working hard for her family. Now, it seems Song Dujuan is really living a good life.
"Enjoying happiness? What do you mean by enjoying happiness? I was captured and forced to be a maid. It took me a month to figure out how to escape. Luckily, I gave a false name, otherwise I would have been bound by a death contract and would never have been able to break free for the rest of my life," Song Dujuan said with a hint of grievance.
Everyone looked again and saw that Song Dujuan's clothes really did look like those worn by a maid from a wealthy family.
"How did you end up being forced to be a maid?" Song Guangdi asked.
“I went to find Qiao Lian’er’s enemies, which aroused suspicion. They thought I was spying on something, so I was arrested. Although I didn’t do any heavy work this month and had food and drink, I was monitored from time to time and lived a very uneasy life. I was also worried about everyone. Finally, I found a chance to escape.”
