Chapter 2391 What will become of Cheng Jiatong?
Tao Hongdan sighed, "Shuxian, you're young, there's no need to rush into decisions like this. We've been in the black market for years, and we're disgusted with men... You're different, there's no need for you to suffer with us."
These days, it's not easy for a woman to live alone.
They had experienced a lot, which led to the establishment of female households, so that they could rely on their own ideas in the future.
Kang Shuxian was only fourteen years old when she was taken to the black market by the beggars. Because of her young age, a girl who worked for the third manager in the black market took pity on her because of her naivety and straightforwardness. She took her in as a maid and did not let her serve the customers.
After leaving the black market, Kang Shuxian returned home. However, she never expected that her parents and brothers, who had always doted on her, would not believe she had remained chaste after a year in the black market and wanted her to commit suicide to preserve the Kang family's reputation.
Unable to bear the heartbreak inflicted by her family, Kang Shuxian followed Tao Hongdan and the others to the southwest, vowing never to marry again.
Tao Hongdan and the others took care of her like a younger sister. After all, she was still young, and her thoughts might change in the future.
Before, they thought they could take it slow and not rush things. But now it's different. Tao Hongdan can imagine how many troubles they will encounter when they start their own business, and how many local thugs and bullies will try to take advantage of them.
They didn't care, but Kang Shuxian was young and naive; what if...?
Now that Princess Wen'an is here, if she can help Shuxian find someone she can rely on, it would be better than her staying with them.
Shu Yu remained silent after hearing Tao Hongdan's words, but Kang Shuxian strongly objected; she was unwilling.
The two sides were at a stalemate.
Shu Yu could only say, "It's up to her. I won't make a decision on her own. You should think about your future plans first. It's getting late, so I'll take you to an inn to rest. You've all suffered a lot in prison, so have a good meal and get some sleep before we talk about anything else."
The women naturally had no objections; they were indeed very tired.
Shu Yu took them to the inn where they were staying. Their clothes and luggage were still in their original place, but they had been ransacked during the search and would need to be cleaned and washed before they could wear them again.
So Yingxi bought several sets of ready-made clothes, let them take a bath and have a meal before they went to bed.
Shu Yu told Wei Qin about seeing Cheng Jiatong in prison. The latter was silent for a moment, then looked up and asked, "What will happen to her in the end?"
Shu Yu thought for a moment, "It's hard to say. Given her situation, she probably won't be beheaded. She'll probably be exiled, or sold into servitude, or..." forced into prostitution.
"Cheng Wenbao will definitely be beheaded. Don't worry, your revenge will be served soon."
Wei Qin smiled and said, "I know he won't have a good ending. It's okay. I don't care about them now. I just want to get better as soon as possible and go back to see Lele."
"Yes, he'll definitely be happy to see you."
Wei Qin looked forward to it.
After resting for a night, Tao Hongdan and the others felt much more energetic.
By noon the next day, after discussing it, they came to Shuyu to tell her their future plans. "We've been making a living by embroidery lately, but among us, Wuyou's embroidery is the most exquisite and fetches a high price. Aru is a very good cook, but Hefang said earlier that all the cooks outside are men, and it's inconvenient for Aru, who is young and beautiful. So we haven't looked for other work, and Hefang has been helping us sell the embroidery. We think the price is acceptable, so we figured it's okay to stick with this for now."
