Chapter 84 Yu Zhen
The girl curled up in the corner raised her eyes and saw an extremely handsome face.
She had never seen such a handsome man before.
She has been living in this woodshed for a whole year.
She spent this year almost in darkness, with people occasionally coming to bring her some leftover food and slop.
She almost forgot her real name.
Now, when she heard someone call her Yuzhen, she felt extremely sad.
The voice was like a beam of light, illuminating everything around her in the darkness and allowing her to move forward step by step.
The poisonous sores on her body were extremely painful. Every night she felt so miserable that she would rather die than live. She had actually had thoughts of committing suicide a long time ago, but she was unwilling to do so.
Her dark eyes looked at Su Yuheng. She stood there, as if she was a beautiful person who wanted people to get close to her.
But she was also afraid that the person she met was not a good person.
Seeing her staring at him quietly, Su Yuheng squatted down gently and carefully examined the poisonous sore on her face.
These boils are caused by poisoning.
The poisonous sore gave off a strange smell, making the surrounding odor very strong, but there was no disgust in her eyes, and she felt more distressed for Yu Zhen.
In her previous life, when she was thrown into a dry well by Liu Jinshu and Su Yuhuan, she saw rats gnawing at her corpse, which still scars her to this day.
Yuzhen is just a poor person.
"Young Master, please don't touch her. What if..." Bai Lu stepped forward to try to stop her, but Su Yuheng simply said, "I'm fine. The sores on this young lady are caused by poisoning, not some strange disease."
Su Yuheng felt inexplicably familiar with Yu Zhen from the first moment he saw her.
In her previous life, Yu Zhen was brought into the Su family by Su Yanqiu, and she and Yu Zhen also spent some time together in the Su family.
Yuzhen is just a little girl after all, and her mind is very simple.
But because it was too naive, it was framed by my cousin and resold many times.
It was sold from the distant State of Qi to the Qinhuai Tower in the city of Yanjing.
In the Qinhuai Tower, the madam initially wanted her to perform for money, but within a month she began to develop poisonous sores on her body. The sores were densely packed all over her body, causing her great torture day and night.
Her cousin had already planted poison in her body.
Su Yuheng reached out and gently stroked her cheek. The little girl was actually quite pretty, and the phoenix tail mark on her forehead was still very obvious.
It was just because of these carbuncles that her appearance was ruined.
"Yuzhen, I can cure you. Are you willing to come with me? I will buy you one year of freedom," Su Yuheng asked.
Yu Zhen's eyes were a little moist, she lowered her head and sobbed softly.
In fact, no one had known her real name for a long time, but now being called by Su Yuheng made her feel a little dazed.
She opened her lips slightly and asked, "Sir, how did you know that my name is Yu Zhen?"
Su Yuheng asked, "You are from Qi, and you were harmed by your cousin, so you ended up here, right?"
"I have come here today specifically for you. I will redeem you. Are you willing to follow me?"
Yu Zhen was silent for a moment. She had not had time to tell anyone about these things. How did the young man in front of her know about them?
But from the way Su Yuheng was dressed, she knew he was not an ordinary person, nor was he a bad person.
She bit her lip and asked, "Sir, can you really cure these abscesses on my body?"
Su Yuheng said with a firm expression: "Of course, but I also have a request."
Yu Zhen asked: "What is your request? As long as you can cure these poisonous sores on my body, even if it means going through fire and water, I will not hesitate."
Su Yuheng curled his lips slightly and said, "I don't need you to go through fire and water. All I need is for you to stay by my side. Are you willing?"
Yu Zhen was silent for a moment. She was already dying, and now someone offered her a way to live. What else could she not want?
"willing."
Su Yuheng finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing these two words.
Su Yuheng left the woodshed and gave the madam another ingot of gold. He asked Bai Lu to take Yu Zhen out of Qinhuai Tower, turned around and got on a carriage, heading for Prince Li's Mansion.
Not long after the two carriages left, Mo Yu and his men hurried into Qinhuai Tower.
The madam held the gold ingot given by Mo Yu and looked at him with some doubt.
"Is this young man also here to look for that ugly freak?"
Mo Yu said, "That girl has a phoenix tail mark on her forehead, but it's still in Qinhuai Tower."
The madam's lips curled up in a cold expression as she returned the gold ingot to Mo Yu.
"Sir, you've arrived at an unfortunate time today. Those clowns have already been bought."
Mo Yu asked anxiously, "Bought by someone? Do you know who bought that woman?"
The madam looked at Mo Yu with a puzzled look and said with a smile, "Yes, the two ladies... are two young gentlemen."
"Is this guest here just for that clown? Or is there another girl he's interested in?"
Mo Yu sighed. Now that the woman had been bought by someone, how could he go back and explain to Su Yanqiu?
"When did the two young masters you mentioned buy it?"
The madam said, "Just now, half an hour ago."
After the madam died, Mo Yu turned around and hurried to the street of Qinhuai Tower, but he did not see Yu Zhen's whereabouts.
On the other hand, when Su Yuheng brought Yu Zhen and Bai Lu to Prince Li's Mansion, Huo Xingzhi was not in the Mansion, but in the military camp.
Yu Zhen followed her carefully, looking around at the surrounding environment.
After Su Yuheng brought Yu Zhen into the guest room of Prince Li's Mansion, he arranged for the maid in the mansion to wash Yu Zhen's body.
About half an hour later, Yu Zhen changed into clean clothes and lay on the bed dying. The poisonous sores on her body were still there, looking very scary.
"I don't know, but you are the Princess of Dayanli."
"Miss, you saved my life. Yuzhen is willing to follow you for the rest of her life. I only ask you to give her a way out."
Su Yuheng leaned over and helped her up. He looked Yu Zhen around and said with a smile, "I don't need you to follow me forever. One year is enough."
"After one year, I will return you to freedom. During this year, you must change your name and surname, and the phoenix tail mark on your forehead must also be hidden."
"One year?" Yu Zhen looked at her.
"But I want to stay with you forever."
Su Yuheng said: "Yu Zhen, I don't need you for the rest of my life. Your brother Yu Wushuang has already entered Yanjing City. He came here for you."
Hearing the word "brother", Yu Zhen lowered her eyes.
In the beginning, she was framed by her cousin because of her brother who doted on her.
She was originally a concubine's daughter of the Yu family in Qi State. Her mother was tortured to death by the mistress of the Yu family, and she herself was not loved by her father.
But her eldest brother doted on her, and because of her cousin's arrival, she had no place to stand in the Yu family.
She was sold to Qinhuai Tower and had long since become indifferent to the so-called relatives of the Yu family.
As for her brother, perhaps she was even more disappointed.
"I don't want to go back to the Yu family with my brother. I just want to be with the young lady. Even if I am a slave, it is better than staying in the Yu family."
