Unexpectedly, the leader saw that she, as a woman, could still lead a caravan and trade between the two countries. He praised her courage and ability and returned the goods she brought to her, but robbed most of the silver.
Before Yao Wei could feel lucky for escaping death, Qin Yuchen led his troops across the border and killed all the robbers.
How could they allow people from other countries to cross the border at will on their own soil? The two countries almost fought. Fortunately, General Dingguo was stationed there, and he rushed over to negotiate.
Qin Yuchen dropped the mess and went to find Yao Wei. Seeing Yao Wei's haggard appearance, he suddenly hugged her tightly.
"Weier, I was so worried. I know how scared I was when you were caught by the robbers."
Yao Wei just felt at a loss. Looking at his exhausted appearance, she didn't know how to start talking. She just felt tired.
No matter how many people he had harmed, she had accepted his favors intentionally or unintentionally, and could not escape the responsibility.
She was already a sinner.
Later, the Fourth Prince was in the critical period of fighting for the throne, and Qin Yuchen had to return to Beijing in a hurry.
Afterwards, Yao Wei tied her hair up high, tanned her skin, put on men's clothes, put on a mask, and presented herself as a man. Her business gradually improved and then grew bigger and bigger.
Later, she was brought back to the capital by Qin Yuchen.
He said he would marry her and make her the happiest woman in the world.
She refused softly, but Qin Yuchen seemed not to understand what she said.
"Weier, you don't have to worry too much. I will protect you."
After returning to the capital, the wife of the Marquis of Xinyang looked down on her. She was treated coldly in the mansion. Some cousins and noble ladies mocked her and said that she was a lowly person.
For someone who has lived for dozens of decades, these superficial words have no lethality to her.
Her only worry is that she will be trapped in this small house from now on, without any self-expression, and unable to show her face in public, having to scheme against the people in the house all day long.
It's so hopeless.
However, she was soon free. The Fourth Prince lost power, the Marquis of Xinyang was in danger, and was stripped of his title and his family by the Emperor, while Qin Yuchen was exiled to Qianfeng.
The cause was that the son of the Duke's Mansion was beaten to death by Qin Yuchen
She handed over all her property to the emperor and admitted her guilt. After listening to her business experience, the emperor did not blame her anymore, but allowed her to set up her own household and travel freely in various counties and states.
In the end, all she had left were the deed to a shop in Shao County and the silver reward from the emperor. She gave half to Qin Yuchen's relatives and used the rest to bribe the officials who exiled him.
She looked at Qin Yuchen's affectionate and desperate eyes, but her heart was calm. His feelings were too simple and too strong, which made her feel dazed. This kind of love was not so easy. It was just a chance encounter. Apart from the life-saving grace, there was no way the two would have met.
As for their future fate, it was none of her business. She was lucky to be alive, so how could she control the fate of others?
She is now finally free in a sense.
After returning to Shao County, she opened a dim sum shop. In the past, she would prepare all kinds of food for her daughter, and now in this era, the food she makes is still popular.
Yao Wei also adopted some children, including the peddler who worked as a shopkeeper, and the children of the shopkeeper who was implicated. After they lost their parents and their mother remarried, no one took care of them.
She watched the chirping of children all day long, but her heart had never been at peace. If someone asked her if she wanted to return to the modern era, of course she wanted to. First, she couldn't bear to leave these children, and second, she didn't dare to gamble. What if someone like her went to hell instead of returning to heaven after death?
It is better to live a miserable life than to die.
Later, she had a dream that she became the wife of a nobleman.
