Child brides returning to their parents' home
With the help of the faint starlight, following the direction of "home" in their memory, Liu Buqi and Bai Jinjing came to a somewhat dilapidated wooden door.
She had already sent Xiao Junzi and Xiao Dengzi back. The strong men in the army could easily scare the villagers in the middle of the night!
I knocked on the door gently and waited for a while. Then a burly male voice sounded in the yard.
"Who is this? Can't I sleep yet? Knocking on the door so late!"
The man opened the door and saw two fairies in front of the door, who looked like they had walked out of a painting. He was stunned and didn't know what to say.
"Who is it?" A fat middle-aged woman dressed as a peasant also walked out of the house and looked at the two strange women at the door with the same confusion.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I'm Feiyu! I happened to be passing by your house today, so I came to see you!"
Liu Buqi was actually very excited in her heart. Although she knew that it was the two people in front of her who sold "her" to the Hou Mansion, the throbbing feeling of blood connection still made her feel familiar and unfamiliar!
"Ah! Feiyu, aren't you dead?" The brother exclaimed and took a few steps back. The sister-in-law's face turned pale, but when she saw the candlelight in the house shining on the shadows of the two people in front of the door and cast on the ground, she slapped the man!
"What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and invite my sister in! Oh! When we heard that the Hou Mansion was ransacked, your brother and I went looking for you!"
Walking into the familiar courtyard and listening to the familiar chatter, Liu Buqi's memories seemed to overlap with Liu Feiyu. Here she had her best childhood, where she was spoiled by her brothers and loved by her parents!
Of course, there were also some miserable experiences that I couldn't bear to look back on, like the constant beatings and endless heavy work!
He took a cloth bag filled with silver from Bai Jinjing's hand and handed it to the woman. "Sister-in-law, we've been through a lot these past few years. Please take this little bit of silver. I'd like to stay at home for a couple of days. Is that okay?"
The woman holding the heavy silver beamed with joy. "What's so great about returning to my parents' home? We haven't touched your boudoir in all these years. Your brother always said that when you come back, you can stay here. I'll clean it up for you right away!"
Sitting quietly on the rattan chair in the yard, I remember that my father loved to sit on it and hug me!
The brother standing by was mumbling, not knowing what to say. His sister had grown up to be as beautiful as a fairy, and he didn't even dare to recognize her!
This pair of siblings, who looked like siblings, sat and stood in the courtyard like this for an unknown amount of time.
It was not until the woman came to him and earnestly asked Zhang Lou to cook, and was stopped by Liu Buqi, that he took the two of them into Liu Feiyu's small boudoir.
It was here that I was put into a wedding dress, inexplicably entered the Hou Mansion, and followed Yue Lingxi north to Youzhou!
Looking at Bai Jinjing with some apology, his boudoir was too small, with only a small bed that could barely fit him. He probably couldn't even stretch his legs if he slept on it now!
Bai Jinjing could only curl up in a chair in the room feeling aggrieved.
Lying on the simple little bed, with his hand gently stroking the curtains at the head of the bed, Liu Buqi slept extremely soundly that night! The sweetest sleep he had ever had!
Early morning! The rooster crows!
A rapid knock on the door broke the tranquility of the boudoir, "Second sister, second sister, wake up!"
Bai Jinjing opened the door and saw a strong boy of about thirteen or fourteen standing outside the door, staring at her blankly!
"Second sister?" Obviously the boy recognized the wrong person!
"Is it Fei Yan?" Liu Buqi had already recognized that the young man in front of the door was his younger brother Liu Fei Yan!
Liu Feiyan, who vaguely recognized his sister's face across the platinum crystal, rushed over, hugged Liu Buqi tightly, and burst into tears! "Second sister, you're back!"
Tears flowed from the corners of my eyes unconsciously! I don’t know whether they belonged to Liu Feiyu or Liu Buqi!
Liu Feiyan, who had slowly come to her senses, suddenly raised her head and said, "Sister, run! My brother and sister-in-law have sold you to the wealthy Zhang family in the east of the village again!"
"What?" Liu Buqi felt a bit ridiculous! Then he inexplicably felt a deep sadness!
This blood-related brother and sister-in-law are too cold-blooded and heartless. They haven't seen their sister for many years, and they sold her home in a hurry without her even living there for a single day?
Bai Jinjing wondered if she had misheard something. Liu Buqi, the legitimate wife of Yue Lingxi, the King of Youzhou, was the one who disrupted the world with her casual conversation!
She was sold by her brother and sister-in-law right after returning to her parents' home? The key is that someone actually dared to buy her? She could already imagine the wrath of the Lord of Youzhou!
Looking at the two indifferent people in front of him, Liu Feiyu grabbed Liu Buqi and rushed out of the room. The two sisters-in-law were already guarding the door with a wooden stick!
"Sister, you came back just in time. Our family owed money to the wealthy Zhang family and couldn't pay it back. Your brother went to the wealthy Zhang's house overnight to repay the debt. Unexpectedly, his wife had just died and he was looking for a new wife. He was willing to give us ten acres of good farmland!"
"Even if you don't tell me, I know that you are a criminal. It wouldn't be a disgrace to you if a good family could take you in as their wife!"
I looked at the snobbish woman in front of me with sadness. She sold her own sister for just ten acres of good farmland! How shameless!
Liu Feiyan suddenly rushed forward, grabbed the stick tightly, and kept shouting "Second sister, hurry up!"
Liu Buqi's somewhat frozen heart felt the warmth of family love!
But Liu Feiyan was only a thirteen-year-old child after all. Although he was able to snatch the wooden stick from his sister-in-law's hand, he was powerless in the face of the wedding procession of Mr. Zhang, the rich man, who had appeared at the door!
I don’t know why, but when I saw my elder brother bringing people home, tears fell from Liu Buqi’s eyes unconsciously!
A deep feeling of powerlessness suddenly emerged from deep within her heart, causing her to unconsciously fall onto her father's favorite rattan chair!
At this moment, she truly felt the helplessness of Liu Feiyu who had swallowed gold and committed suicide at such a young age!
Liu Feiyan held the wooden stick firmly and stood in front of his sister!
Bai Jinjing, who was standing by, saw how helpless Liu Buqi was at the moment. She had never thought that the heroic woman who could support Youzhou all the way forward with her own strength would have such a fragile side!
"You two, get out here right now! If the Madam is harmed in the slightest, you will be beheaded and brought before the General!" An irrepressible angry voice burst out from Bai Jinjing's mouth!
No one has the right to hurt this woman who carries the hopes of countless Youzhou people! Not even her family!
Xiao Junzi and Xiao Dengzi walked out from behind the room! Although Liu Buqi had asked them to go back, it obviously had no effect.
"Listen up, both of you. Anyone who comes within ten steps of the Madam will be killed without mercy!" Bai Jinjing is now the Deputy Medical Envoy, so it is only natural for him to give orders to Xiao Junzi!
Not to mention that she is also the fiancée of Zhang Xiruo, Yue Lingxi's close guard!
