Come here, bring the urinal.
As soon as he entered the dim room, a strange smell mixed with medicine and mold made Liu Buqi almost vomit!
After adapting to the darkness in the room for a while, the vision gradually became clear.
This small house has only one room, and there is nothing else except two beds, a bookshelf and a table!
There was a skinny head sticking out from under the thick quilt on the bed, if it weren't for the big eyes that were turning around and staring at her.
Liu Buqi really thought that there was a skin-and-bones skeleton under the quilt!
"Hi! Hello, my name is Liu Buqi. Who are you? Let's get to know each other and be friends."
The silent and depressing environment made Liu Buqi, a de facto modern man, feel a little embarrassed. He started talking first without caring whether the person on the bed could hear or understand him!
Unexpectedly, the big eyes on the bed rolled up slightly, revealing the white pupils of the pupils, and there was a mocking expression on his mouth.
"Hey, hey, hey, the girl is talking first, why are you rolling your eyes?"
"Humph! If you ignore me, I won't pay attention to you either!"
Spreading out his hands nonchalantly, Liu Buqi lay down on the empty bed beside him in a familiar manner, sighed comfortably, and hummed an unknown modern tune softly.
The person on the bed listened quietly to the girl humming next to him, until the humming turned into snoring in deep sleep, and then he slowly closed his eyes.
…
"Hey, hey! You damned little whore! The master arranged for you to serve Young Master Xi, so you could come and sleep here? Why don't you get up now!"
The sudden pain in his body and the curses in his ears once again disturbed Liu Buqi's sweet dream!
"Who dares to disturb my sweet dream?"
She opened her eyes screaming, only to be greeted with even more violent curses and beatings. In front of her was a fierce old woman standing in front of the bed with her hands on her hips, yelling and spitting.
Liu Buqi came back to his senses and suddenly remembered his current identity!
"I slept again, and you haven't returned yet? It hurts so much. I must, definitely, definitely not be dreaming! Did I really travel through time?"
"Hurry up and think of what kind of poetry or songs you can recite! How can you farm and make money!"
No matter how grand the future vision is, it cannot resist the increasing pain in the body!
"Hey, you old woman, how come you're still addicted to fighting?"
He stood up from the bed, picked up the pillow beside him, and smashed it at the old lady again and again!
The old nanny was also used to the turmoil in the harem, although she was a little caught off guard by the little girl's resistance.
But he quickly reacted and rushed towards Liu Buqi! For a moment, the whole room was in chaos.
After all, Liu Buqi was only a little girl of twelve years old at this time. Her ambition was as high as the sky but her life was as fragile as paper, which could fully describe her current situation of being suppressed by the old nanny who was a head taller than her.
Fortunately! The other nanny who brought him into the mansion and sent him here arrived in time and saved Liu Buqi from the danger of disfigurement!
"How dare you use violence in front of Young Master Xi? Stop it right there!"
Obviously, this nanny has a high prestige in the inner house! Even the stubborn old nanny dared not act rashly in front of her!
She just bit back and complained to the nanny with tears and snot about how the new maid didn't follow the rules!
The speed of his facial expressions and the vividness of his language amazed Liu Buqi who was standing by!
The big-eyed young master, who had been lying on the bed and watching coldly, suddenly said something in a childish voice that stunned the three people present:
"This is the woman my father sent me as my wife. Do you think you can teach her a lesson? Nanny Bai, take her out and discipline her properly. Let her know the hierarchy in this mansion!"
Nanny Bai, who came in later, smiled rarely and walked out with the nanny who had made a mistake and begged for forgiveness.
Liu Buqi was really stunned!
"What the hell is going on here?"
"A little brat who hasn't even grown all his hair yet is saying I'm his wife in front of others! This is too embarrassing!"
Child bride! It seems to be a matter of course for people here, but in the mind of a modern person like Liu Buqi, he has always regarded it as a child's play!
But this is a dramatic thing, coming from the mouth of a so-called young master who is obviously of low status and lying paralyzed in bed!
The ferocious old nanny who obviously didn't take the young master seriously had to accept the punishment! Nanny Bai, who was obviously of a higher status, also gladly accepted the order!
"This is too mysterious!"
Regardless of what Liu Buqi thought, Master Xi, who had already spoken, reluctantly stood up from the bed and spoke again in a bad mood:
"Your name is Liu Buqi, right? Come here and bring the urinal!"
"I am XXX, 10,000 words omitted here!"
…
Before yesterday, Liu Buqi would never have believed that one day he would have to take care of a stranger's excrement and urine!
"Alas, when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head!"
But this young master is indeed a little brat whose hair hasn't even grown out yet! This obvious discovery made Liu Buqi somewhat willing to become this child bride!
"Hey, having food and drink, no work, and no need to marry an old man is pretty good!"
After going to the toilet, Master Xi seemed to be relieved and walked to the table. He picked up the food that Nanny Xiong had placed on the ground and placed it on the table.
As soon as Master Xi picked up his chopsticks, Liu Buqi sat beside him as a matter of course and started eating with him at the same table!
"Eat, eat! Eat more, one meal less!"
Young Master Xi's emotionless expression made Liu Buqi, who was eating heartily, feel a little disgusted, so he picked up a piece of meat and put it in his bowl.
"Eat quickly, eat quickly! Didn't you say I'm your wife? Why would you talk so much nonsense when eating with your wife?"
Master Xi laughed in silence, and when he saw Liu Buqi, who did not treat him as an outsider and was eating with relish, his closed and dark heart loosened a little!
"I'm not talking about you..." After muttering to himself, Master Xi's big eyes, which seemed full of wisdom at this time, just quietly looked at Liu Buqi who was concentrating on "eating" and obviously did not hear what he said.
…
The life of eating twice a day and sleeping lasted for one day, yes, only one day!
A large number of officers and soldiers rushed into the most remote corner of the mansion and drove Liu Buqi and Master Xi to the main hall.
The seventeen wives and concubines of the old master that Liu Buqi had met before and the wives, concubines and children of the current master in the mansion had all been pushed and gathered here.
A guy with a effeminate, duck-voiced, manly appearance, pinched his fingertips, looked around pretentiously, pursed his lips and smiled softly, and said:
"Everyone's here! I should apologize for disturbing you all! Unfortunately, I have the Emperor's order and am powerless!"
The master smiled obsequiously.
"Eunuch Xu, you are too kind. I wonder what imperial order has brought you to my humble abode?"
Eunuch Xu, who ignored his master, took out a roll of silk from his wide sleeves and said something before opening it.
"The emperor has issued an oral order. No one in the Anguo Marquisate needs to kneel to receive the imperial edict!"
Then he straightened his posture, opened the imperial edict respectfully and read it out!
Liu Buqi didn't understand the meaning of the flowery ancient text at all! But the increasingly pale faces of the people around him clearly showed that there was definitely no good news in the imperial edict!
After Eunuch Xu finished reading the imperial edict, he did not hand it over to Master Yue as in the online dramas that Liu Buqi often watched, and Master Yue did not kneel down to receive the edict and express his gratitude!
Feelings of shock and fear have begun to spread in the hospital. The woman who was still aggressive and rude in the mourning hall yesterday has been frightened to the point of losing control of her bladder!
Eunuch Xu took out a handkerchief with disgust and put it on his nostrils, then slowly repeated the general content of the imperial edict in words that Liu Buqi could understand.
"Master Yue, please don't bother me! Before I came here, I already took inventory of all the men and women in the mansion who were twelve years old or older!"
"The emperor's decree clearly states that any male over twelve years old will be beheaded, and any female over twelve years old will be forced to become a prostitute in the Jiaofangsi! Males and females under twelve years old will be exiled as military households and will never be allowed to return to the capital!"
After saying that, he took away everyone in the yard except Liu Buqi and Young Master Xi, divided by gender!
For a moment, the cries and the shouts of the officers and soldiers could be heard from far away!
Liu Buqi was completely shocked! Born in modern society, although she was an orphan abandoned by her parents, she had also experienced the ups and downs of life!
But growing up, I had never encountered any petty theft or other crimes around me, and I never thought that one day I would experience such a disaster as having my home confiscated and my family exterminated!
The confused and dazed Hexi Young Master was pushed back to his original hut by the officers and soldiers! He waited to be escorted to the border early tomorrow morning!
Although he knew that the two would not be beheaded or forced to become official prostitutes of the Jiaofangsi because of their age.
But think about the world I used to live in. Even if ten or eight cats and dogs died on the street, it would be a major news event!
But now? In the blink of an eye, dozens of lives were lost! It really caught her off guard!
Young Master Xi, who was standing by, seemed to have known that what would happen today would happen. His unusually calm behavior made Liu Buqi a little scared.
In the face of imperial power! From a wealthy child bride to a prisoner, it only takes a moment!
