The person he rescued unintentionally turned out to be the prince's woman!
I have always hated the emperor, but I never thought of saving the prince's woman. Is this a coincidence?
Su Mengyan became nervous. The boss's reluctance to speak and express his attitude made her feel a little uneasy.
Is this not accepting your own advice?
But it is true that a person who has been hurt so deeply by the government will not easily believe the words of others. What's more, he is only Situ Yao's man, not Situ Yao himself, and cannot guarantee anything to him. Instead, he will suffer more hatred from him.
"Boss, don't be anxious and listen to me in detail." Su Mengyan felt that what she said was a bit rash, and seeing that the boss seemed to want to get rid of her, she was a little panicked.
"I personally hate these corrupt officials very much. These are the things I can't stand the most. When I see them, I just want to do my best to help them. That's why I say so much. I hope the boss won't blame me."
After Su Mengyan finished speaking, she bowed to the boss to indicate that her words were rude.
The boss originally wanted to have Su Mengyan expelled from the village, but this woman beat him to the punch before he could finish his words, so he had no choice but to give up and just listen to what the woman continued to say.
"I have served His Highness Situ Yao for many years. The Crown Prince is a good heir who cares about the people. His Highness often tells me that we should punish corrupt officials. Therefore, I take these matters to heart and constantly motivate myself to be proud of His Highness Situ Yao."
The boss didn't believe the words too much. He just looked at the woman in front of him talking freely. She seemed to admire the prince very much and didn't interrupt her.
"I think the eldest master has suffered so much injustice. If you accept the Crown Prince's offer of amnesty, and let the Crown Prince clear the grievances of your wife and daughter, so that the deceased can rest in peace, wouldn't that be a good thing?"
The boss suddenly laughed. This woman was really naive.
"Miss, my daughter is still alive, and I captured the young woman just to help my daughter." I don't know why he should have driven the woman in front of him away, but he accidentally told the truth.
The old lady went out to get more tea for the two of them. When she came back and saw this scene, she laughed in her heart and thought Su Mengyan was silly. Seeing this, she knew that this simple-minded girl was overthinking.
He also listened to some of what Su Mengyan said just now, and felt that this girl was not a bad person, so he explained more.
"The eldest boss's daughter is a lucky girl. Back then, that evil official threw her into the wild and left her to die. Unexpectedly, she was rescued by the hunters nearby."
After that, he gave Su Mengyan a cup of tea and continued, "The eldest lady was later found by the headmaster, but because of that incident, she has always been a loner and unwilling to talk to others."
"Although we have taken good care of her, she is still getting thinner and thinner."
Su Mengyan took a sip of tea and vaguely guessed, could it be that the boss was looking for a girl to keep his daughter company?
"It's just that God is unfair. A few days ago, a brother in the village got married. It was a good thing, and the head of the village was happy. He immediately let the man go down the mountain and live a normal life."
The old lady didn't seem to care, and the head of the family next to her spoke without reservation. Su Mengyan analyzed and observed the relationship between the two.
She suddenly had a new idea, perhaps this young lady was the knot in the heart of the boss who had been a bandit all along.
If he is released in time, he can be recruited without any effort.
"That brother is also a grateful person. He specially invited the boss and others to the wedding banquet."
"I feel very depressed thinking that the young lady hasn't come down the mountain for a long time. If she could see this happy event, maybe she would be happy and the troubles in her heart for many years would be solved. Who would have thought that something happened here." The old lady sobbed softly when she said this.
"I don't know which evil-hearted person said something to the young lady. She refused to eat or drink after returning and even tried to hurt herself with a knife."
At this point, Su Mengyan probably understood. Seeing that the old lady was still crying, it seemed that she really cared about the daughter of the boss!
"Don't cry, Auntie. This young lady is a lucky person and will definitely get through this difficult time." Su Mengyan didn't know how to comfort her and could only say some comforting words.
"I thought so too, but I consulted every doctor in this city, and they all gave the same answer: my son's heart disease is incurable!"
The boss's eyes were red when he said this. It is said that men don't shed tears easily, but only when they are heartbroken. It seems that this young lady is really the boss's weak spot.
"Since this is an incurable mental illness, why are so many women suddenly being captured in the city?" Su Mengyan suddenly asked.
The two men looked surprised and said as if it was a matter of course, "I just asked some girls to come up and keep my daughter company. Unfortunately, what decent women would be willing to come to this bandit den?"
"Since they refuse to accept our toast, we'll have no choice but to drink the penalty wine." The big boss didn't shed tears after all, and he regained his original ruthlessness when he said this, as if the fragile person before was just an illusion.
Faced with this change of situation, Su Mengyan seemed to understand why the boss was like this. He was making up for all the debts he owed to his wife on his daughter.
So I took even greater care of it, not wanting it to get hurt in the slightest.
The old lady explained, "That's not the case. At first, we found some daughters from poor families, gave them some silver, and asked them to talk to the young lady to ease her pain. After much persistence, only a few women came up."
"But those were women who were forced to come up here. They didn't come willingly to accompany the young lady. The words she said were even more stimulating to the young lady's condition. That's why the boss got angry and went down the mountain to capture the women."
Su Mengyan understood the boss's difficulties in doing this, but she did not agree with it at all. What was the difference between doing this and that of that corrupt official?
Women in this era were like floating weeds, dependent on others. The young lady was blessed to have a father like the head of the family. It was a pity that fate was not kind to her, and she ended up dragging down such a family.
In modern terms, these are nothing more than psychological illnesses, and these psychological illnesses are the sequelae left by what happened back then.
The girl was very young at that time, and had experienced such inhuman abuse. I think she must have suffered from autism and depression. It's a pity that medical care was not so advanced in that era, and the doctor naturally didn't know about these diseases, so he said that the girl was incurable.
