Looking back now, I'm so glad I didn't change your status to slavery, otherwise I'd be regretting it terribly.
Zheng Yunwan leaned on her shoulder, her voice muffled: "Sister Yunying has always been a kind-hearted person, and that has never changed."
Xiao Yunying smiled and said, "Really? Sister Cheng Yue said I've changed a bit recently."
"There have been some changes, but I think Yunying's changes are for the better. Being a bit tougher can help her protect herself better. Yunying used to be too soft-hearted and could never bear to hurt anyone."
“People change.” Xiao Yunying helped her up and said, “You’ve changed a lot compared to before. You’ve become stronger and braver, and you’re more capable and opinionated.”
Xiao Yunying wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Our good days are yet to come, so don't let those worthless people and things keep you immersed in sadness and grief, don't you agree?"
Zheng Yunwan hummed in agreement and nodded emphatically.
"Then stop crying. Go wash your face. I made you a cream cake in the kitchen. Go and eat it. Eating something sweet when you're unhappy will make you feel better."
"good."
Xiao Yunying watched Zheng Yunwan enter the kitchen with a smile on her face. Once Zheng Yunwan had completely disappeared from the doorway, her expression changed immediately, and she got up and went back to her room.
The door was pushed open too forcefully, and it slammed against the wall with a bang. Luo Sheng, who was reading the storybooks that Xiao Yunying had asked Luo Yang to collect, was startled.
He put down his book, observed Xiao Yunying's expression, and got up to pour her a cup of tea: "What's wrong? Who made you angry?"
"It's all because of Yun Wan's bastard family members. They do nothing but inhuman things. Those are their own children and sisters, yet they can be so heartless as to sell them three times. What kind of beasts are they, that they can still live in this world as human beings?"
Luo Yong placed the teacup in front of her: "Don't be angry. Perhaps such things don't happen where you are, but here, buying and selling servants and slaves is perfectly normal."
Xiao Yunying glared at him, picked up the cup, drank the tea in one gulp, and then slammed the cup down on the table.
“You’re being inhumane. We don’t allow human trafficking where we’re from. Those who traffic women and children are seriously punished by being shot. It’s one of the few serious crimes that can lead to the death penalty.”
Luo Sheng said helplessly, "Perhaps our laws are not perfect, but they are changing little by little. However, the social customs passed down from generation to generation will not change easily, nor can they be completely overthrown and a new system established all at once. There must be a gradual process, don't you think?"
