Chapter 13 A lean camel is bigger than a horse
Xie Yuyan usually relies on the prestige of the general's mansion to bully those young ladies from humble families.
Now, it has ended up like this.
She didn't even dare to think about how those ladies would humiliate her behind her back.
The more Xie Yuyan thought about it, the more desperate she became. Suddenly, she stood up and said angrily, "It's better to let me die here than to go to the Jiaofangsi."
After saying that, she touched the wall and was about to hit it.
In this world, women's status is already low, let alone going to a place like the Jiaofangsi.
It is indeed worse than death.
Lu Wanyin glanced at her and said in a dull voice, "You can't go to the Jiaofangsi."
Xie Yuyan was stunned and looked at her steadily: "What do you mean, you mean... you plan to save us?"
They all depend on Xie Jingci, but Lu Wanyin is different, as she has the Chenyang Marquis Mansion behind her.
Xie Xingni was also overjoyed, her eyes sparkling as if she had seen a savior.
But Lu Wanyin said, "No, I mean that you will be exiled to the military camp and become military prostitutes."
Realizing she was being tricked, Xie Yuyan lost her temper and cursed, "You're the military prostitute! A concubine's daughter who was married off must have climbed up the social ladder by being a prostitute!"
Lu Wanyin held the silver needle in her hand: "You are about to die and still have the mind to throw dirty water on others. I wonder if you can still be so stubborn after receiving this silver needle from me!"
Xie Yuyan was so scared that she screamed "No" and crawled to hide behind Zhou.
Xie Xingni was dejected, squatting in the corner and crying silently.
Lu Wanyin remembered that in her previous life, Xie Xingni was sent to the military camp to be a prostitute, but she didn't last long before she committed suicide by hitting her head against the wall.
Xie Yuyan, on the other hand, is now acting as a chaste and heroic woman.
But after being sent to the military camp, I don't know what tricks she used, but she actually escaped to the enemy and became a spy, and also provided a lot of useful information.
It’s true that you can’t judge a book by its cover.
Xie Yuemian sat in the corner in despair.
She learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting when she was young, and was famous throughout the city for her needlework at the age of fourteen.
Matchmakers came to her door in droves, all saying that she had the grace and elegance of a mistress of the house.
After much difficulty, he asked someone to get in touch with the Prime Minister's Mansion and arrange the marriage.
But now she has to go... to be a military prostitute.
It would be fine if the conditions there were harsh, but she had to be ridden by thousands of people and become a plaything to please men with her body.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
There were wails everywhere at once. The men felt depressed and had no intention of comforting them, so they just let them cry.
Xie Yunge, the youngest daughter of the third wife Liu, is only six years old.
Seeing that her sisters were all crying, she started crying too, even though she didn't understand why.
As she cried, she picked up a dead mouse from the corner and burst into laughter.
She held the mouse by its tail and laughed loudly: "Mom, look, there's a pig here."
Liu was startled and shook off Xie Yunge's hand, saying, "Yun Ge'er, throw it away, silly child! This isn't a pig, it's a stinky rat!"
Xie Yunge didn't listen and ran around the prison with the mouse in his hand, scaring the girls so much that they didn't want to cry anymore and just screamed and ran away.
In the blink of an eye, the sky brightened and light shone in through a fist-sized square window above the prison.
Lu Wanyin untied their silver needles.
While stretching her body, Zhou glared at Lu Wanyin.
But she had already understood Lu Wanyin's tricks and dared not do anything.
Except for Xie Deyao's eyes and Xie Derui's wrist, everyone else slowly returned to normal.
Two jailers came over with a food bucket. They opened the small door where food was served and threw the food bucket in.
As if treating an animal perfunctorily, the jailer said with great contempt, "Eat."
Xie Deyi leaned over to the food bucket and took a look. He immediately flew into a rage: "This isn't food for humans! It's clearly for livestock."
The jailer snorted coldly and said to Xie Deyi, "It's good enough to have something to eat. How can a prisoner be so picky?"
Xie Ziqian tugged at the cell door and reached out to grab the jailer: "I'm warning you, don't go too far."
“Yo!”
The jailer looked at Xie Ziqian as if he was having fun and asked, "What's wrong with bullying you? A dying man is still so arrogant."
Indeed, he is already in prison, what qualifications do he have to challenge?
Xie Deyi was a man of great adaptability, and he quickly stepped forward and apologized with a smile.
He was like a lackey: "Master prison officer, we have old and young people here, and we really can't eat. Can you make some concessions?"
The jailer hooked the key with his index finger and swung it. He nodded at Xie Deyi, his eyes greedy: "It's not that I can't make an exception, it's just..."
Xie Deyi was very familiar with this look.
However, he always looked at others this way before, but now the offensive and defensive situations are different.
He nodded quickly: "Very good, very good. Please wait a moment, Master Jailer."
Xie Deyi turned his head and his voice suddenly became dignified: "If you want to live, hand over all the money and jewelry on you to me."
Lu Wanyin sneered.
Even the treasury of the imperial palace is in her space, what else is left in the general's mansion?
Sure enough, everyone fell silent.
Xie Deyi was anxious: "I'll say it again, leave it all to me, otherwise no one will survive."
Liu fiddled with her boots and took out a pearl bracelet from the shoe shaft.
Then she handed it to him reluctantly.
Xie Deyi also lifted up his clothes and took out a few banknotes from his underwear.
With them setting an example, everyone started to search for their belongings in order to avoid starving to death in prison.
Zhou hesitated, but in order not to starve to death, she still took out a gold hairpin and threw it to him.
Concubine Zhang and Concubine Qian from the second house were given a jade bracelet and white jade agate respectively.
Concubine Fang from the third room lifted her sleeves, revealing two shining gold bracelets on her arms.
Soon, Xie Deyi's front was filled with treasures.
He took a few valuables and stuffed them into his clothes in front of the jailer.
The two jailers had never seen so many treasures before, and their eyes were almost popping out.
It is worthy of being a general's mansion. Even after the house was ransacked, there are still so many treasures hidden.
Sure enough, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.
In the past, when wealthy families were confiscated and imprisoned, the prison guards would make a lot of money, but he had never seen this.
If the original prison guard had not been swallowed by a snake, it would probably not be his turn in the next life.
Xie Deyi took two pearl necklaces and an emerald bracelet and stuffed them into the jailer's hands.
He begged, "Brother jailer, please give us some more food. We have elderly parents and children to support."
The jailer grabbed the baby and snorted coldly: "Wait."
They took the treasure and left, and Xie Deyi lay on the prison door and waited.
But no matter how long he waited, the two prison guards never showed up.
It took about an incense stick of time for Xie Deyi to react.
I was deceived by those two jailers.
He spat and cursed, "What a bunch of damned bastards!"
But now I am at the mercy of others and there is nothing I can do but accept defeat.
Liu was so angry that she threw her head to the ground: "Xie Deyi, I am so unlucky. Why did I end up following a fool like you?"
The bracelet that Concubine Zhang from the second house had brought out with great difficulty was cheated away by Xie Deyi. She was so angry for a moment.
She rushed over and beat Xie Deyi hard: "Give my things back!"
