Wang was overjoyed. By selling the two maids, she could get thirteen taels of silver, enough to buy grain for the family to eat for another month or two.
"Lower social status? This one's sold for lower social status too?" she blurted out impatiently.
Upon hearing Wang's words, Jiang Lu, who was bound, had bloodshot eyes and a piercing gaze, as if she wanted to kill her.
When she saw her pull out the household registration documents belonging to the two sisters from her bosom, the little girl was so angry that she felt like a huge rock had hit her chest, making her dizzy.
Wang, how dare she? How dare she?
Jiang Lu's vision blurred, and thinking of her older sister lying in the inner room, she felt that she had no chance of survival.
Within a month, her father died, her mother disappeared, her older sister was jilted, her only younger brother was captured by that old witch, and they stole all the family's property deeds, land deeds, and household registration documents.

Ji Yanwen had his eye on Jiang's eldest daughter as early as when she was jilted.
He was very anxious when he found out that she had hanged herself, so he rushed to the Jiang family home and witnessed the scene.
As soon as Wang and the matchmaker left, he pushed open the door and came in.
When a grown man suddenly barged in, Jiang Lu, who was lying on the veranda, stared wide-eyed in disbelief. What could be more terrifying for a woman than being sold?
That would undoubtedly mean his reputation was ruined.
Don't come any closer.
Don't come any closer.
