Lu Yan thought, even if Gu Linbei really couldn't come back one day.
It is also a happy thing for her, Yu Nian, and Gu Linxuan to live with Qingqing like this.
The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked into the dental clinic.
Seeing the luxurious clothes on Lu Yan and Qingqing, the broker quickly came up to them with a flattering look on his face.
"You two, are you buying a slave or a house?"
The brothel owner had a pockmarked face, but was very enthusiastic.
Lu Yan glanced at Qingqing and said seriously, "Buy someone."
"Male or female? Any special requirements? Like someone who can fight? Or someone who can sing and dance..." The broker was interrupted by Lu Yan before he could finish his words.
"Buy a few maids. There are too many trivial matters at home and we need someone to help take care of them."
Hearing this, the broker immediately became happy.
"Ma'am, you've come to the right place. We have everything here. Please follow me."
Over the past six months, the famine has gradually subsided.
However, the people being sold kept piling up and going unsold, and even the pawnshops could no longer afford to feed them.
Lu Yan was quickly led by the agent into the backyard. There were two sheds built in the yard, one for men and the other for women. The sheds were pitch black and smelled foul. Even if someone came in, the eyes of the group would be numb.
However, after the two disheveled women in the corner saw the situation here, one of them reached out and woke up the woman next to her.
Wan Mei looked at the two people in luxurious clothes outside the shed with hope in her eyes.
The person she woke up was none other than Song Jiao'e.
Ever since Mr. Song exchanged her food for food, she no longer had the will to live.
Song Jiao'e couldn't even figure out how she had ended up like this. She was clearly a reborn being, a favored daughter of heaven. If it weren't for the fact that she had suffered so much in her previous life, why would heaven have given her a second chance?
But……
Her life in this life was even more miserable than her previous one.
Her mother died for her.
Her father exchanged her for food just to save his life and that of his brother.
Her husband and father had a big fight just because the food she exchanged for benefited her parents' family and she failed to take care of her husband's family.
After being abducted...
She even discovered she had a miscarriage.
And that child was Zhang Youfu's.
Later, she was abandoned by refugees in a valley and even thought she would not survive.
At that time, Song Jiao'e thought... being free might not be a bad thing.
She closed her eyes and waited for death to come.
But she was rescued.
The people who rescued her were a group of deserters from Qi Yue State.
They treated her as a plaything and wanted to conquer her unscrupulously. Although Song Jiao'e had enough food and drink along the way, she lived a life worse than death.
They whipped her.
If she refused to obey, a dagger would be put to her neck.
They broke her pride bit by bit, making her crawl like a dog. Song Jiao'e once thought that this was the most difficult time in her life. But she didn't expect...
I am pregnant.
On the way to escape the famine, her belly grew bigger and bigger.
They hid in the cave to avoid the war outside.
During that time, those people abused her to the point of being completely exhausted. However, whenever Song Jiao'e thought she was about to miscarry, those people would find herbal medicine to help her avoid pregnancy and give it to her.
That child was born.
Born in a dark place.
Song Jiao'e did think about running away.
Take her child and run away together.
But before she could finish her confinement, her child was taken away and never came back.
Song Jiao'e questioned those people, but never got an answer. She only learned from eavesdropping one day that those people had sold her child.
He was a boy born with wrinkles, but he was also the hope that Song Jiao'e had thought of.
By raising that child, she would have someone to rely on.
She would never think about Gu Lao Er again, nor would she think about the glory of the Song family.
But she thought about relying on her own children.
However, those people were unwilling to leave her even their last thoughts.
During that time, the war with Qi and Yue State intensified. In the second month after Song Jiao'e left her confinement, she met Gu Linbei. Gu Linbei led his troops to suppress bandits, but in reality, he was plundering food from the rebellious refugees to support the troops on the front lines.
She saw Gu Linbei riding on a tall horse.
He was handsome to begin with, and with his warhorse and armor, he looked like the kind of heroic figure one could only see in dreams.
That day, Gu Linbei's men dealt with the group of refugees who had caused her nightmares for nearly a year, and Song Jiao'e was saved.
She lay on the ground, tears streaming down her face, begging Gu Laowu to take her away.
She said she was willing to work like a slave for him.
She saw his subordinates constantly teasing him, even saying that he would surely have many wives and concubines in the future. She also heard them calling him General.
Song Jiao'e hoped that Gu Linbei would look at her a few more times.
Even though there had been so much unhappiness between them in the past, she still longed to be with him. Even if she became his concubine, as long as no one knew her identity, all the fine clothes and delicious food in the future would be hers.
But……
Gu Linbei shook his head seriously.
He said seriously, "You can't joke about this. This is my second sister-in-law. Besides, I promised my wife that we would be together for the rest of our lives."
He said that Lu Yan was still waiting for his return in the capital.
He said that she would be his only child for the rest of his life.
He said that he was fighting outside just to be worthy of her.
At that moment, Song Jiao'e felt like a joke.
