When Lian Qiu heard this, his face changed and he quietly looked up at Mo Qin.
"Bandits? Is the young lady injured? Did those bandits offend her in any way?"
Thinking about how the young lady hadn't asked him to help her bathe, Lian Qiu became even more worried. Could it be that those bandits had bullied his young lady...
Mo Qin sat on the couch and rubbed her sore legs with her hands.
Although the original owner was the daughter of a general, she only learned what ordinary girls of the dynasty learned in their boudoirs. She did not know how to wield a gun or a stick, and was just a spoiled girl.
His father favored boys over girls. Although the original owner's mother was the legal wife, she only gave birth to a daughter, so she was neglected. On the contrary, several concubines who gave birth to sons were doing well.
This is also the reason why no one has come to see Mo Qin since she came back for so long.
No one cares about her at all. Isn't she still alive?
Mo Qin raised her eyes and glanced at the maidservant in front of the bed. It would be more accurate to say that she was afraid rather than worried.
What are you afraid of? Afraid of punishment?
"It's okay. I took advantage of the chaos and ran away. The road was long and it started raining halfway, so I came back late."
She couldn't help but urge him, "Hurry up and tell your mother to send someone to look for Nianxia."
Lian Qiu took a few more glances before leaving with some hesitation, "Yes."
-
"Madam, the young lady didn't let me help her bathe, and I don't know whether she did..."
Lian Qiu knelt on the ground, his body lowered, and he was still trembling.
"Is her clothing intact? Is there anything wrong with her walking?"
The general's wife frowned tightly, her face full of displeasure.
"The lady's clothes are intact, with only a few minor scratches, and she can walk normally. It's just...it's just that the lady has been massaging her legs after taking a bath, saying that they are sore."
The general's wife felt a little relieved after hearing this.
"Alright, go back now. Stop kneeling here and getting in the way. I'll send someone to find that girl Nian Xia. Serve your young lady well. If this happens a second time, I'll sell you out!"
"Yes, thank you Madam for your mercy!"
Lian Qiu kowtowed twice and walked out.
Looking at Lian Qiu who ran away as if he had seen a ghost, the general's wife showed a hint of disgust in her eyes.
How come she gave birth to a girl?
If she had not been injured by the concubine when she was pregnant with Mo Qin, and had not been unable to get pregnant after giving birth to Mo Qin, how could she be rejected by the general?
As a result, she began to dislike the daughter who had caused her to fall out of favor.
Why does a daughter run outside all day instead of staying at home?
Fortunately, nothing happened this time, otherwise where would the General’s Mansion put its reputation?
At this time, Madam Mo's personal maid came in from outside, her face full of distress:
"Madam, please rest early and don't wait any longer."
Madam Mo's hopeful eyes dimmed, but she still asked without giving up:
"Where will you stay today, General?"
"The general went to Concubine Liu's place."
Aunt Liu was also one of the concubines who gave birth to a son. Her son just turned five this year and is the general's youngest son.
Mrs. Mo looked sad, and blamed herself more and more for not living up to her expectations.
The general has been fighting for many years and has seen life and death. He cares most about his offspring and wants there to be successors in the general's mansion.
He attaches great importance to all his sons and teaches them personally. As for daughters, they will get married anyway, so what use are they?
For some reason, the three concubines in the backyard gave birth to four children, all of whom were sons, but she gave birth to a daughter.
It’s unlucky just thinking about it.
-
Mo Qin also knew the reason from the original owner's memory.
She had no extra thoughts about the original owner's parents.
She could not correct the prejudice of favoring boys over girls that was deeply rooted in her bones. As for Madam Mo, she blamed the mistake on the original owner. The original owner was so innocent. Was it her fault that she was born a girl?
It's not her choice.
Those two maids were both Madam Mo's people, and their indentures were in Madam Mo's hands.
Madam Mo disliked the original owner, and the two maids didn't have much love for her either.
These days, saving your life is important.
After Lian Qiu came back, Mo Qin asked her a few questions casually and let her go.
Only then did Mo Qin begin to understand the plot.
The original owner did not successfully escape during this kidnapping, and she was found two days later.
Although the customs of the people at that time were relatively open, no one would not think too much when faced with a beautiful girl who had been kidnapped by bandits for two days.
Coupled with the spread of the news by people with ulterior motives, the whole capital knew about this matter.
The original owner's reputation was damaged, and the original owner, who had just reached the age of marriage, lost value in an instant.
Previously, those who were interested in marrying the original owner and had a similar family background were discouraged, but the original owner didn't care because she already had someone in her heart.
While people outside were still discussing the original owner being kidnapped by bandits, the original owner secretly ordered someone to send a letter to King Zunyi, Jun Chen, who is the male protagonist of this world.
The letter sincerely stated that she was still innocent. Jun Chen believed it and even comforted and enlightened her in the letter.
Jun Chen's attitude undoubtedly gave the original owner a reassurance.
The relationship between the two remains the same as before.
Half a year later, when the matter was completely over, Jun Chen married the original owner as his legal wife.
Although there were some unpleasant episodes during their relationship, it did not prevent the two from getting married.
Everyone talked about this matter with great relish. It seemed that the prince with crippled legs and the young lady of the general's mansion with a tarnished reputation were a good match.
Many people laughed at her before and after the marriage, but the original owner felt very happy because she married the person she loved.
In addition, Jun Chen had disabled legs and no concubines in the backyard, so he didn't even need to fight in the palace. He was so happy.
