In the evening, Mu Run came out of Fu Yunchen's study, holding her aching back and her lips were a little swollen.
She looks like she's been pampered.
In reality, she really doted on Fu Yunchen, using every trick in the book she had seen in her past life to escape the clutches of the big bad guy.
Xiao Xing was worried about Mu Run, so she waited for her in the small garden not far from the study.
Seeing her like this, he immediately stepped forward to help her up.
"Come on, let me help you."
Mu Run smiled slightly, "It's nothing."
"The pain of a woman losing her virginity is like the pain of losing a limb."
"Uh...who told you that?"
"That's what the old women said. They said that the first time they experienced it, it was like they were dying."
Mu Run was even more speechless. "The old women are still talking to you about this?"
Xiao Xing replied, "Yes, they also said that childbirth is a life-or-death ordeal for women, and at least two out of ten women will not survive it."
Considering the medical conditions of that era, Mu Run realized that childbirth was indeed a life-or-death situation for women. "...That's an exaggeration."
"Not an exaggeration."
...
The two chatted idly as they returned to the servants' quarters.
Xiaocao and Qiaoyu are working hard to finish their embroidery, especially Qiaoyu, who is working very fast and has already completed several pieces.
Only when Mu Run and Xiao Xing returned did they put down their work.
"I heard from Xiaocao that Prince Xiang's men are trying to arrest you. Are you alright?" Qiaoyu asked Murun with concern.
Mu Run replied, "It's alright, but you shouldn't push yourself too hard."
Xiao Xing also said, "Be careful, if Granny finds out, she'll say you're not working properly and deduct your wages."
"No, I finished all my other work before I started this," Qiaoyu said, and then continued embroidering.
Xiao Cao, standing nearby, said, "Sister Yu is very talented; she's almost ready to try double-sided embroidery. The embroidery she sells will fetch a higher price."
Mu Run knew perfectly well that Qiao Yu wanted to help her family. But her family was gone.
"Oh, right, the master gave me a few pearls. We'll each take one and make them into hairpins to wear in the future."
Mu Run took out four snow-white, peanut-sized pearls from her purse.
Fu Yunchen actually gave her a box, but she didn't want it and had nowhere to put it, so she only took four, thinking that she and the other three could each have one to play with.
“We can’t accept this. This is a reward for your virginity. Keep it for yourselves,” Xiaoxing refused.
Mu Run chuckled, "What are you thinking? The master didn't do anything to me. I just tripped and fell while climbing the bookshelf. The master wouldn't even look at a maid like me."
Little Grass looked at Murun in surprise, "Really? The adult really didn't touch you?"
Mu Run: "No."
Xiao Cao lowered her head again, looking at the embroidery in her hands; no one knew what she was thinking.
After dinner, Mu Run taught them a poem and then prepared to go to bed.
Qiaoyu noticed that the collar of her clothes was coming undone, so she said, "Let me sew this up for you."
Mu Run said, "No need, I can do it myself."
"It's just a few stitches. Little Grass, come and help me thread a green needle."
"Really, you don't need to," Mu Run said with a smile, but still followed Qiao Yu's wishes and took off his clothes.
After taking off her clothes, a patch of snow-white, smooth skin was revealed on the back of her neck.
"Oh! Did you get bitten by a bug? It's all red here." Qiaoyu pointed to the red spot on Murun's face. "It's not swollen."
