"I was so scared. Just now, a group of them rushed up to us and I thought we were finished." Zhang You pulled the woman and quickly left here with Chunhua and the others and rushed back to the inn.
"It's okay. Even if they do, I'm still here for you," Qiuyue comforted them.
"How can you beat so many people alone? Don't try to be so stubborn." Zhang You just felt that she was trying to be stubborn.
Qiuyue smiled but did not refute.
No one knows their identity, which is a protection for them as well as for themselves.
Along the way, the woman didn't say a word, but just listened quietly to their conversation.
During this time, Zhang You and the others wanted to ask her what her name was, where she came from, and how she met this person.
But she just shook her head timidly and said nothing.
She seemed unwilling to give her trust.
It was as if she believed that even if she told her story, it would only give people more things to talk about and would not really benefit her.
If that is the case, why should we tell others about our pain for their amusement?
However, Zhang You and the others weren't the kind of people she'd imagined. Even though they had limited abilities, they still wanted to help others. Otherwise, they wouldn't have bothered to save her. Even if they couldn't help, they would still ask Qiao Si for help. Perhaps it was because, like master, like servant, they were always happy to help those in need.
Zhang You and the others saw that they couldn't get any information out of them and didn't know what to do.
If they could find out where she came from, they could even provide funds to send her back. If she was sold here, they could also intercede on her behalf and allow her to be employed as a servant in the palace, at least giving her a place to settle down.
But she didn't say anything, and they couldn't decide what to do.
Fortunately, the inn was big enough, and the three of them chipped in and rented a room for her to stay in. It wouldn't be too late to discuss future matters in a few days.
After arranging her accommodations, they asked for water for her bath, intending to help her wash up. However, she seemed extremely resistant to being stripped of her clothes. Zhang You comforted her, telling her to wash herself while they went out to watch over her and to call them if anything happened. Only then did she calm down.
Zhang You knew that she had scars on her body, so she specially left the golden wound medicine that Qiao Si gave them to her and asked her to apply it after washing.
Zhang You and her friends even went to the street to buy new clothes for her. After she washed up and put on the new clothes, she looked stunning.
Unlike her original shabby face, she was born with a good appearance. Although her cheeks were thin due to malnutrition, the small mole under her left eyebrow was very well-shaped, and people could notice her pair of lingering peach blossom eyes at a glance.
When she looked at others with those eyes, they were timid, as if they were soaked with tears, which was very distressing. However, the horrible scar under the corner of her eye simply ruined this beauty.
As women themselves, Zhang You and the others marveled at her beauty, but they also naturally understood the significance of her scar. Her beauty was nothing but a shackle.
Zhang You felt that since she had escaped from there, she should also start a new life. Out of appreciation for beautiful things, she reluctantly took out the traceless cream that Qiao Nai had given her and gave it to her.
This thing was a small box and very valuable. Qiao Er only made a few boxes. This box was given to her by Qiao Nai when he felt that she had injured her hands and gave her half of his box.
But this thing is really effective. The two scars on her palms have almost faded.
She had originally planned to wait for the scab on her left little finger to fade away, and then use the traceless cream to repair it. Now that he saw the blemish on her face, he took out the remaining half box of traceless cream and handed it to her.
She kept shaking her head to refuse, but Zhang You was quick to put the gift in her hand. She looked up at Zhang You, seemingly not understanding why he was so nice to her.
"Girls all love beauty. You have such a beautiful face. It would be sad to leave a scar. Don't worry, this medicine is very effective. I used it when I injured my hand before. Look, it's gone now, right?" Zhang You stretched out her hand to show her.
She didn't seem to expect that there would be someone so naive.
But looking at the ages of the three people in front of me, they all look like they are not yet of age, no wonder they are so naive.
only……
She lowered her eyebrows, and I felt pity for her.
"I... don't need it." She had been silent all this time, but finally spoke the first sentence. Her voice was low and soft, just like her.
Zhang You and the others almost immediately thought of what she was saying. Beauty could not protect her, but this scar could.
After all, they had been with Qiao Si for so long. In the Dingzhou government office, they had seen Qiao Si handle many such cases.
But it's not her fault that she is so good-looking.
Chunhua's voice slowed down involuntarily. "None of this is your fault. You don't need to punish yourself for their mistakes. They will eventually get retribution for what they did. There is still justice in this world."
"Yes, our princess is such a good person who will redress the injustices for the people. Now that you meet us, you don't have to be afraid of those things anymore." Qiuyue also spoke to comfort her.
She just raised her head and listened quietly, her expression still lifeless.
"Besides, now that you've met us, you won't have to deal with that again. It's all in the past, and everything will be fine." Zhang You looked at her still indifferent expression, knowing that their words had no practical effect on her, so she added, "If you don't want to use it, then don't use it. You can use it later if you want to. It doesn't matter. It's yours, you can decide for yourself."
Forcing others to do something has never been Zhang You's idea. Since she doesn't want to, they won't force her.
Don't try to persuade others to be kind without first experiencing their suffering. They haven't experienced her life, so how can they make decisions for her? They just need to do what they have to do and have a clear conscience.
After the woman said that, she never said another word.
Zhang You and the others didn't want to force her, and she had no obligation to tell them everything she knew just by chance.
They always showed her the greatest tolerance and sympathy, and did not ask about her past. They wanted to open her heart through daily interactions and let her see other possibilities.
They settled down in Caiguang Town. During that time, Jingzhu put pressure on the mayor several times, but the mayor just kept laughing.
Jingzhu was not in a hurry, just dragging her feet.
Zhang You and her friends had nothing to do these days, so they took the little mute out to play.
They told Jingzhu about this on the first day. Jingzhu just said that the princess had her own arrangements and did not take any action against the magicians.
Jingzhu also sympathized with her situation and generously paid for them to take her out for a walk.
But she always seemed to be in no mood, always looking indifferent and not interested in anything.
In the next few days, they simply stayed in the inn.
But Qiuyue couldn't sit still. There was a blacksmith shop in the east of the town. She was eager to try out the hidden weapons they had talked about before, and had been hanging out in the shop for several days.
