The woman shrank back, covering her face with her hands, not daring to speak.
Her body was covered in twisted scars, evidence of frequent beatings.
She stared at the direction the carriage was leaving, her eyes full of hatred.
She is Qian Shanshan!
In just a year and a half, she lost her former lively radiance, became weather-beaten, and looked like a woman in her forties or fifties.
At this moment, the skinny baby behind her started to cry. Qian Shanshan came to her senses and begged, "The baby is crying. Give me the silver so I can buy goat milk."
She had a skinny body and no milk at all.
"Drink milk?"
"Damn it, I'm going to drink!"
The man slapped her again, and his face returned to its honest expression. He looked at the prosperous capital city and was dazzled.
Seeing an old man selling wine not far away, he directly filled up the bottle with two taels of silver.
"Let's go! You said you are a lady from a wealthy family, take me to meet my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
The man took a sip of wine and smacked his lips.
Qian Shanshan nodded woodenly, and her heart shuddered as she looked at the familiar capital.
She was afraid that someone she knew might recognize her on the street.
I wanted to use two taels of silver to find an inn to take a shower and change into clean clothes, but that was not possible.
Carrying the crying baby on my back, I walked towards the home in my memory.
Arrived at the gate of the Minister of Works’ residence.
Qian Shanshan shed two lines of tears, moved her lips, and nervously walked up the stairs.
"Get out of here!"
"Where did this dead beggar come from? He polluted the air in front of the Minister of Works' residence."
Before she could go up, the gatekeeper pushed Qian Shanshan.
Almost fell to the ground!
"Slave, even this lady can't recognize you!"
"Look, I'll let my father beat you to death!"
Qian Shanshan took out the anger she had just felt towards the groom on the gatekeeper.
The servant was startled when he heard the voice. He took a closer look at the beggar's face and it looked familiar.
"What are you looking at?"
"I'm back!"
Qian Shanshan glared at the servant and walked towards the mansion, with the man following her.
The servants looked at each other and stopped the man, "Please wait a moment, I will go and ask the master and his wife to come over."
In fact, in the year and a half that the young lady was missing, many young girls came forward to claim her as their relative.
Without exception, none of them!
The servant thought it would be better to be on the safe side.
Soon, Minister of Works Qian Aiting and Mrs. Qian came out with anxious looks on their faces.
However, Mrs. Qian was holding a cute little baby in her arms!
"Dad! Mom!"
"My daughter is back!"
Qian Shanshan's voice was hoarse and she was crying.
He looked at his father and mother with hesitant eyes.
The imagined scene of the whole family recognizing each other and crying bitterly did not appear. Instead, they looked at her with a confused look on their faces.
"Mom, my daughter is Shanshan!"
"Look, there's a birthmark on my arm."
Qian Shanshan was stunned for a moment, then quickly rolled up her sleeves to expose her arms. The birthmark was no longer noticeable due to the lines of whipping scars.
The Minister of Works and Madam Qian took a look and saw that it was Shanshan!
Looking at their daughter's old appearance, they didn't dare to recognize her just now, but when they saw the scar, they both shed tears.
How much suffering he had endured, he burst into tears!
"Shanshan, why did you come back just now? I missed you so much that my tears ran dry!"
Mrs. Qian said with red eyes.
The Minister of Works was more rational. When he saw Qian Shanshan carrying a baby on her back with a man following behind her, he immediately realized something.
He quickly ordered his servants to close the door!
"Mom, my daughter almost died outside." Qian Shanshan cried and wanted to hug her mother, only then she saw a baby in her mother's arms.
Looking at her curiously!
"Mom, who is she?" she asked curiously.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across the faces of the Minister of Works and Mrs. Qian.
The Minister of Works said, "This is your sister."
After Qian Shanshan disappeared, no matter how hard she tried, she could not be found. Mrs. Qian missed her daughter so much that she gave birth to another child.
"younger sister?!"
Qian Shanshan raised her voice, feeling unhappy, and looked at her sister with a hint of disgust.
She is the only daughter in the mansion!
Mrs. Qian's eyes were red and she didn't say anything, feeling a little guilty.
"Okay, come in quickly." said the Minister of Works.
He turned around and ordered the housekeeper not to spread this matter!
He can't afford to lose this person!
Coming to the front hall, Qian Shanshan told her parents about her grievances and hurts.
Crying so sadly!
"Mom and Dad, you have to make the decision for your daughter!"
"It was Ming Yiling who plotted against me and sold me to a human trafficker, wuwuwu..."
Qian Shanshan complained without mentioning that she was the one who schemed against others first and was then schemed against.
The Minister of Works and Madam Qian looked at each other. Now, General Weiyuan and Princess Chang'an's family are on the rise.
They can't be messed with!
Seeing his daughter all black and smelling sour, the Minister of Works said, "Take the young lady downstairs to wash up first."
Afterwards, the maid took Qian Shanshan away.
As for the baby, he will be first handed over to the wet nurse in the mansion to feed.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, I am honored to meet you."
The man chuckled twice and knelt down with an honest look on his face.
The Minister of Works frowned, very displeased.
"Come here, drag this man down, give him fifty lashes, and throw him into the woodshed."
When my daughter looked at this man, her eyes were timid and frightened. The wounds on her body must have been caused by him.
"Father-in-law, spare my life!"
The man didn't expect that after confiscating his property and treating him as a live-in son-in-law and enjoying a good life, he was also beaten.
The General Weiyuan's Mansion at this time.
An Li frowned when he heard the news brought back by the servants.
