Chapter 135: Subjugating Jade
"Ma'am, Biyu is here."
Gu Huan put down the teacup and looked at Biyu who walked in with a haggard face.
Biyu has always been proud and arrogant. As Mu An's first concubine, she has a beautiful appearance and usually wears silk and satin. Wherever she goes in the Duke's Mansion, she is a beautiful sight.
When Gu Huan first entered the mansion, Biyu heard Gu Wanru say that she wanted her to be the young master's concubine, so she didn't show any displeasure when she saw Gu Huan.
Now the arrogant first-class maid has become a completely different person, and her pretty face has completely lost its luster.
Biyu looked up at the dignified and beautiful Gu Huan, with a smile on her face, a pair of clear eyes looking at her.
She lowered her head humbly, walked to Gu Huan, knelt down, and kowtowed heavily.
Boom.
Everyone present felt a headache after hearing this.
"This servant has met the Madam."
Gu Huan accepted her gift with an open heart, and then ordered, "Donghua, help Biyu up."
Donghua reached out to help her, but failed to pull her up.
Biyu said with tears in her eyes: "Madam, you saved my life. I want to kowtow to you three times."
When Chi Yan rescued her from the devil when she was dying, he seemed to hear him say that it was Miss Huan who asked him to save her.
But she couldn't understand why Gu Huan would arrange for someone to rescue her in advance.
Later, I returned home and slowly recalled the incident, finally figuring things out.
Gu Wanru originally only wanted to take her and Jin Kui to serve the young master, but later she suddenly insisted on taking Gu Huan with her. Unexpectedly, they encountered robbers on the way.
The robbers originally wanted to kidnap the young lady, so Gu Wanru pushed Gu Huan out to take her place.
This means that Gu Huan guessed what would happen to her when she was taken to Yichunyuan, so she arranged for someone to pick her up in advance.
Who knew that Gu Huan was kidnapped and the guards guarding Yichunyuan happened to rescue her.
It means that Gu Huan saved her.
Biyu thought about it for several days, not knowing what to do.
She was heartbroken.
After serving the young master wholeheartedly for so many years, he actually gave himself to be tortured by a rootless beast.
But she was a slave and could not leave the Duke's Mansion.
If she returned to Zuimoxuan to serve the young master, he would definitely dislike her. Besides, her back was covered with whip marks and her perfect skin was gone. How could the young master still want her?
If she became a low-ranking maid in Zuimoxuan, it would be better for her to die.
Donghua looked at Huan, and when she saw her nod, she let go of her hand.
Biyu kowtowed twice in a row, and Donghua went to help her up again before she slowly stood up.
"Sit down and talk."
Gu Huan smiled: "Dongqing, serve tea to Biyu."
Seeing Biyu looking down at the teacup in her hand with tears falling from her eyes, I knew that she was very sad.
She asked softly, "Is your injury better?"
"Yeah. It's scabbed over."
Biyu raised her head, her face full of apology: "I used to..."
Gu Huan interrupted her: "The past is the past, let's move on."
Gu Huan especially understood her feelings at the moment.
She was devoted to Mu An wholeheartedly, and she believed that she could get a good identity and escape from slavery.
But she didn't expect that Mu An would give her to that rootless bastard to play with and torture.
No woman could bear this.
In her previous life, after experiencing the catastrophe that night, she hated Mu An so much that she even wanted to kill him.
Biyu was slightly startled, then nodded slowly: "Yes, we must look forward. But I don't know where the road ahead is."
Zhou Zhilan talked about Biyu's life experience. She was abducted by human traffickers when she was three or four years old, and was sold several times. She suffered mental torture. Fear and terror made her memory blurred at a young age. She could not remember where her home was or who her parents were.
Finally, a human trafficker was planning to raise her as a skinny horse. Later, he met Zhou Chunyu who was selecting a personal maid for the eight-year-old Master Mu An. The price he offered was very high and his selection requirements were also high, so the human trafficker sent her to participate in the selection.
The Yongguo Mansion always selected orphans as slaves. She looked frail, but her face was very pretty after washing, so she was selected into the Mansion.
She was six years old that year.
The eight-year-old Mu An liked her very much when he saw her. The two of them grew up together as innocent children and had a deep affection for each other.
After Biyu came of age, Mu An fell in love with her and made her his concubine.
Biyu never thought that Mu An would treat her as an object and give her to other men to bully.
"Have you thought about what to do in the future?"
Biyu looked at Gu Huan in astonishment.
What can she do?
She couldn't survive without the Duke's Mansion, so she was willing to die.
Gu Huan put down the teacup and said softly, "I can help you escape from slavery and become a free man."
"Leaving the house...where can I go? I have no father or mother..." Biyu cried.
"Are you reluctant to part with him?"
Biyu paused crying and looked at Gu Huan with tears in her eyes, feeling sad and aggrieved.
Gu Huan sighed inwardly.
She was so stupid that she fell in love with her bastard master.
If Mu An really values her, why are there so many women in the backyard?
There are three maids serving as concubines around Mu An, and after being with him for so many years, he has never thought of making her a concubine.
When he wanted to send a woman to help him achieve his goal, the first person he thought of was her.
How could Biyu be unable to give up such a man?
"If you want to continue to stay with the young master, I can help you ask your mother to let you leave your slavery and become your concubine."
Biyu was startled: "Is it okay?"
This was what Gu Wanru lied to her when she threatened her.
Biyu really wanted to escape from slavery and become a formal concubine, so that she could be a better match for the young master.
But the young master always said that he loved her the most and trusted her the most, so there was no need to care about status.
Moreover, the young master also said that he cared about her too much and did not want her to get rid of her slavery so that she could leave him at will.
But now, she no longer believed that Mu An really had her in his heart.
"Of course. I can tell you something. Gu Wanru was born out of wedlock, and I am the legitimate daughter. The reason why Gu Wanru is still alive is because the Duke's Mansion gave face to the Wenchang Marquis' Mansion. Her status as a lady is just a title, and she will never have real power in the future. Mu'an's courtyard really needs a woman who can take charge. You are the head maid, and if you are promoted to a concubine, it will be much easier to manage things.
But, Biyu, you have to think clearly, is this what you want?
You know best who Mu An is, and you also know his position in the Duke's Mansion. If he insists on his own way and continues to harm the Duke's Mansion, he will not have a good ending. Following him and helping him to do evil may not necessarily lead to a good ending.
If so, will you follow him? ”
Gu Huan's words were half true and half false.
Mu An, she will not let him go.
Mu An is responsible for her own mistakes, but she doesn't want to harm the Duke's Mansion.
If she takes advantage of Biyu, she will be more miserable and sad in the future.
Gu Huan just wanted her to think it through and not blame him for using her.
Biyu was stunned for a long time and couldn't recover from her shock.
Gu Huan said slowly and gently: "Men are not the only ones women can rely on. Look at Sister Zhilan, look at Shopkeeper Qiu of Linlang Tower. Women can also do their own things."
Biyu's mind became active: "But I don't know anything."
Gu Huan smiled sweetly: "You can do it. You can do needlework and support yourself. You can manage people. You manage Zui Mo Xuan very well. You can be a housekeeper in the future."
Biyu's dazed eyes suddenly lit up.
"But, Biyu, you have to think clearly about one thing. Some people are selfish by nature and will not consider others at all. As long as it is good for them, they can sacrifice anyone. Such a person with corrupt morals will go all the way to the dark, and may never recover. In this case, do you want to follow him? Or do you want to earn a bright future for yourself and live a life without regrets?"
Seeing that she was struggling, Gu Huan didn't force her.
"Go back and think it through, then come back to me. Actually, you and I have been through the same thing, and I understand your feelings. But I won't help the evil, otherwise, I will be restless even if I am still alive."
"People should not be harmed by others, nor should they harm others."
Biyu walked very slowly, always thinking about Gu Huan's last words.
After she was rescued, she was not sent back to Zuimoxuan, but was placed in a small courtyard to recuperate.
Zhou Zhilan told her when she came to see her that this was Gu Huan's intention.
It was because he was worried that she would be hurt by the young master again, and he also wanted to give her a new way out.
She cried for days.
She knew very well what kind of person Mu An was.
She often advised him to take his status into consideration and follow the right path, but every time she was rejected by Mu An.
They would even call her a lowly person for meddling in other people's business.
She never thought about whether such a man was worth her efforts, because she was the master's servant and had no other way to go.
Today I suddenly realized that she is also a human being and can choose to go her own way.
"jasper?"
When Biyu heard Mu An's voice, her body stiffened and she slowly raised her head.
