Chapter 91 Abandoned Infant Tower

Si Niang returned home and saw the familiar courtyard door. She knocked on it hesitantly.

"Who is it?"

With a creaking sound of a wooden door, a strange woman opened the door.

She asked cautiously, "Who are you?"

"Excuse me...did this family move away before?"

The woman was puzzled: "No, who are you looking for?"

"Madam, who is that outside?"

A familiar male voice was heard, and a man approached.

After seeing her face, he was stunned for a moment, then asked uncertainly: "Sister?"

Si Niang nodded.

The woman asked in confusion, "Is this the girl you mentioned who went missing and could earn one or two taels of silver for sewing a piece of silk?"

"I have corrected you many times. You can sell it for five taels of silver. Xiu Niang can only get a small share."

The woman smiled and said, "That's a lot."

She quickly pulled Si Niang into the house and said, "Good sister, your skills have improved a lot now."

Si Niang turned over her hands and looked at her hands which were covered with old bruises.

Good silk is delicate and the embroidery thread is also delicate.

The embroiderer's hands need to be soft to embroider well, at least not like hers, which is full of old silk and has crochet threads.

"I...can't embroider anymore."

Although the woman didn't frown, her smile was no longer as sincere as before.

The man asked, "Sister, where have you been?"

"Do you know how worried your grandpa is about you? They..."

"Where's Grandma?"

The man choked up and said, "Aye was already ill. When he heard that you were missing, he died before he could even breathe..."

"Mother was worried about you. After Father left, she became too heartbroken and passed away too."

It turned out that when I came back, I was greeted with such bad news.

She looked at the familiar small courtyard in front of her.

This used to be her home, but after her grandfather passed away, this became her brother's home and no longer hers.

Her sister-in-law didn't seem to welcome her very much, so she couldn't stay for long.

Think about it, her biggest worry every day was what color hair tie to wear when she went out.

She imagined what kind of husband her parents would arrange for her. Would their relationship in the future be as good as that of Aye and A Niang?

What will my mother cook for lunch and whether she likes it.

When can I go to the market to buy things again? But now everything is gone.

Those days that couldn't be more ordinary are like beautiful dreams.

Her life was shattered from the moment she was abducted.

Now I go home and fix it, but it’s just not that bad yet.

Perhaps there will be other women who will return home and embrace a happy future.

There should be one, even if it's just one.

…

Yu Shi returned to the capital to report to the emperor, and no matter how small the task was, he completed it well.

At this point, he also told an interesting story: "I originally thought that the women trapped in Yushan were eager to escape and hated the prisoners to the core."

"I didn't expect that there was a girl named Yan Niu'er who really fell in love with them."

"When the county magistrate led people to arrest the people, Yan Niuer still stubbornly refused to let her husband be arrested. It was really strange."

"She was pregnant, and in order not to hurt the pregnant woman, the bailiffs took great pains to arrest her."

Bei Jingchu sighed: [This is a psychological problem, Stockholm. In order to prevent her from breaking down, her brain forced her to "fall in love" with the person who hurt her, but this world has no way to cure her. ]

[Damn it, sooner or later I will change the law of Yue to "Kill all human traffickers". Kill them all! ]

The journey to Yushan is long, and it took Yu Shi almost a month to go back and forth to get things done.

Congratulations, Bei Jingchu is finally able to eat complementary food!

Even though it’s just tasteless rice porridge, your mouth won’t always have the smell of milk in it.

Tasting rice again, Bei Jingchu almost cried for joy.

Nanny's spoon was smoking from pounding the food, but she still couldn't eat as fast as Bei Jingchu.

The emperor frowned constantly when he saw her. Those who didn't know would have thought that the emperor's father couldn't even feed his own daughter.

As the New Year was approaching, the palace also began to prepare, and big red lanterns were hung on the eaves.

But Bei Jingchu whispered in her heart: [Excuse me, I think this red light looks a little scary.]

Emperor: Then don’t say anything.

The New Year is the time for families to reunite, and it is most likely to cause people to feel homesick.

But the palace servants were an exception; they could not go home for the New Year.

Yu Ma Mo is one of them.

She was feeding the princess rice porridge in the side hall.

Originally, feeding rice porridge did not require caution like feeding milk, and His Majesty had the princess fed in the study.

Unexpectedly, the princess ate so happily that His Majesty felt hungry, so he moved to the side hall to feed her.

Bei Jingchu smacked her lips while reading gossip as if she were eating electronic pickled mustard greens.

As she watched, her little mouth slowed down in swallowing the rice porridge.

Then he stared at Yu Mama, wanting to say something.

But the throat can only make babbling sounds.

She could only scream in her heart: [Mammy! Your daughter, your daughter is going to die!]

Aunt Yu could hardly hold the bowl in her hand.

Her daughter...is going to die?

Wet nurses are selected from women who have just given birth and are still breastfeeding.

The ancestors must have a clean background.

After being chosen to enter the palace, one can no longer contact with the outside world, especially can no longer see one's own children. One can only devote oneself to taking care of the princes and princesses one serves as if they were one of their own children.

Unless the master grants permission, you will never be able to see your biological son again in this life.

The advantage is that they can send money home every month, which is like a huge salary for them.

Yu Mama was one of them. She came from a poor family and was overjoyed when she was chosen to enter the palace.

Although she would never see her daughter again in this life, the money she sent back could allow her daughter to live a rich life.

But the princess said that her daughter was going to die?

Bei Jingchu babbled and waved her hands anxiously: [Mammy, the scumbag you married used your money to find another one.]

[What they said was that you were the only daughter in their family, and they needed a son to carry on the family line.]

[Then the stepmother couldn't stand your daughter, saying that you would never come home anyway, and raising a little girl would be a waste of food for the family.]

[And now they are planning to throw her into the abandoned tower! ]

[Wait, what is an abandoned baby tower?]

Bei Jingchu poked the system: [Tongzi, what is the abandoned baby tower?]

[It’s a small tower for abandoned babies, a short thing that looks a lot like a tower.]

[However, due to the customs of feudal society, the abandoned babies in the tower are mostly girls.]

[Parents who don't want daughters will throw their babies into abandoned towers, where they will starve to death.]

[Of course, they can’t bear the weight of the tower unless they are starving to death. The abandoned baby tower will be burned regularly to facilitate cleaning and prevent the corpses from piling up so that babies can be put in next time.]

Bei Jingchu: [I ******* beep beep beep——]
