"How about this?"
The woman immediately became anxious and looked at Lin Qi in panic, "Are you not going to give it to us? You can't do this! The gold is ours after you give it to us. We can use it however we want. Why are you still interfering with it?"
To be frank, my daughter hasn't even said she doesn't want to, so why are you interfering so much?"
This woman had her own logic, and she was very confident, leaving Lin Qi speechless.
Lin Qi couldn't win the argument, so he could only look at Li Junyan, hoping that the prince would say something.
Could it be that this gold is just going to be given away like this?
Li Junyan didn't look at the woman, but at the young woman standing next to her. "Your mother just said that, do you agree?"
The woman's expression was complicated and her eyes were full of pain.
When asked by Lin Yan, she subconsciously looked at the woman next to her, and was given a warning look by the woman.
"I--"
She had barely uttered a single word when the woman interrupted her, "Your Highness asked her what she was doing, but her words don't count. A woman obeys her father at home and her husband after marriage. How can she make her own decisions?"
She'd spent three years in Turkestan. Who knows how many Turkic men had raped her? How could she have the nerve to come back? She might as well have died there. Returning would only bring shame to her family!
Because of her, her brother might not be able to find a wife. These twenty taels of gold were her way of making up for her brother's loss.
In the future, she should just work hard at home and not embarrass herself by going out. When she finds someone who doesn't despise her, she should marry him and honestly serve her husband, parents-in-law and take care of the children. That's all that's needed."
Li Junyan's eyes narrowed, "Do you think she's embarrassing?"
The woman nodded as a matter of course. "Of course, Your Highness, look at what she's wearing. What are these large pieces of clothing showing? You can tell at a glance what kind of business she's doing in the Turkic region..."
"Then how did she get to Turkic?" Li Junyan asked again.
The woman who was talking loudly just now suddenly became stuck, like an old hen with its neck strangled. She clucked for a long time but said nothing.
Li Junyan looked at the woman with a sharp gaze, "You were the one who sold her."
This is not a question, but a certainty.
When the truth was revealed, the woman admitted it with her neck stiffened.
"Yes! I sold her. What's the problem? My family, young and old, couldn't make ends meet. I had no choice but to sell her.
Besides, I'm doing this for her own good. If she stays at home, she'll just starve to death. If she follows me to the Turks, she'll have a way out.
But I thought she would find a good family to marry in Turkic, but who knew she would be so shameless and do such a thing! "
At the end of her words, the woman curled her lips in disgust.
Her disdain was genuine.
Lin Qi was so angry that his eyes turned red.
If he were a man, he would have just gone up and beaten him up.
Why would a mother say such things in front of her daughter?
Lin Qi didn't say anything, but Sunan's mother looked at him angrily.
"How can you say such things? Whether it's a son or a daughter, they are both a piece of your flesh and blood. How can you treat them differently like this?
It was clearly you who sold your daughter to those damn Turks, causing her to suffer so much.
Now the goddess and the prince have brought their men and finally rescued the child. It would be fine if you didn't make it up to her, but how can you drink her blood and eat her flesh again!
That's not enough, you even stepped on her and spit on her! How can there be a mother like you in this world! "
The more Su's mother spoke, the angrier she became, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.
Her Anan was taken away from her, and she was in extreme pain. She couldn't sleep or eat, and she wished she could sacrifice herself in his place.
Now that Anan is back, she just wants to spend the rest of her life making up for her child.
She thought all mothers in the world were the same and couldn't understand why someone would treat their daughter like this.
The woman was scolded by Su's mother, but she did not feel the slightest bit of shame and was not prepared to repent.
She just glared at Su's mother with an angry look, "What does my family's affairs have to do with you? You only have this one daughter, so of course you treat her well. If you had a son, would you still treat her well?"
"Of course!" Su's mother answered loudly, her voice strong and powerful. "Even if I have a son, Anan is the apple of my eye! I will still treat her well!"
The woman scoffed and turned her head away. "You're being stubborn! You just said that because you didn't have it. I won't argue with you. You'd better not get involved in my family's affairs!"
Su's mother was so angry that her body was shaking. She could only look at Li Junyan eagerly, hoping that the prince could make a decision for this poor girl.
Li Junyan looked at the young woman next to the woman and said, "This king asks you, are you willing to go home with her?"
The young woman lowered her head slightly and did not give an immediate answer.
The woman became anxious, "Your Highness, what do you mean by this? She is my daughter. If she doesn't come home with me, where else does she want to go?"
Li Junyan's face instantly turned cold, and the aura around him also changed drastically. He only glanced at the woman lightly, and frightened her so much that she trembled and took a few steps back, not daring to speak again.
"I am asking her."
The woman nodded repeatedly, not daring to say a word. She just looked at her daughter next to her and gave her a fierce look as a warning.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the young woman, quietly waiting for her answer.
Sang Jueqian watched intently with bated breath, feeling a little nervous but also full of anticipation.
If possible, she would like to make the decision for the young woman.
