After being dragged into the courtyard, Concubine Chun was pushed in front of a man without any resistance. She saw a young woman with droopy eyes and monkey cheeks looking her up and down. After the look, the man waved to a little girl, who brought her a bowl of medicine.
The maid took the handkerchief out of Chun Yi Niang's mouth and pinched her chin. It was not until she drank the scalding medicine that Chun Yi Niang realized that she had been betrayed.
Concubine Chun's heart had long since been replaced, and now that heart was filled with regret, wondering why she had fought so hard. There was food, drink, clothing, and jewelry all available at the farm. If she raised Sheng Qian well, perhaps she would have the opportunity to seek an imperial decree in the future. She had come back again and again, but what on earth was she doing?
After taking the medicine, Concubine Chun was dragged out of the village by the young wife. It was not until she sat on the ox cart in a daze that Concubine Chun came to her senses. She opened her mouth and tried to speak, but she could not speak. With a fierce look in her eyes, Concubine Chun wanted to jump out of the cart and hit the ground to death.
The young wife, who had been watching Chun Yi Niang all this time, saw her expression change and immediately pulled her tightly. The little girl sitting next to her also pulled Chun Yi Niang on the other side. Chun Yi Niang, who was tied up with strips of cloth, was held tightly by the two men. There was no way she could jump out of the car. She tried to bite her tongue, but she didn't have the heart to do it.
Mrs. Hua picked up Sheng Qian, and the others packed up their luggage in the house. Within half an hour, they took Sheng Qian and left the farm.
Aunt Lan knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully to Xu Wen. After that, she said gratefully, "Thank you, Madam, for entrusting the Second Young Master to me for raising. I will do my best to take care of him meticulously."
Xu Wen, who was sitting at the head table, nodded and warned, "Shan'er is still young, so I hope you treat him sincerely. If you and Shan'er get along well after a year, he will be registered under your name."
The overwhelmed Concubine Lan cried with joy and replied, "I will keep this in mind. Thank you, Madam."
Sheng Huairen, who had not entered the backyard for many days, was no longer reliable in Lan's eyes. Unexpectedly, Chun ended up in a dead end, which benefited Lan.
Aunt Lan left happily without thinking too much about it until Sheng Qian showed his talent for studying in the future. Only then did Aunt Lan have other ideas.
After traveling for more than half an hour, the oxcart stopped at the city gate. Concubine Chun opened her eyes wide, hoping to find someone to rescue her, but there was no way. Unable to speak, her body still tied up, Concubine Chun's face pale and she collapsed.
The young wife handed Concubine Chun to a wretched middle-aged man, took the five taels of silver handed over by the man, and turned away.
The wretched middle-aged man saw everyone leaving, picked up Concubine Chun and left. When he reached a deserted place, he stretched out his rough big hand and touched Concubine Chun, which startled Concubine Chun and she bumped into the man. The unfortunate man was knocked sideways by the collision, and he stumbled and fell backwards. After a thud, the man fell on a stone, and there was a pool of blood on the back of his head.
Seeing this, Aunt Chun fled in a hurry. The man had previously wanted to do something indecent by tearing off the cloth on her body, which now made it easier for Aunt Chun to escape.
A servant who was following Aunt Chun not far away saw this scene and had no time to call for help. He ran closer to take a look at the lifeless man on the ground, and then followed Aunt Chun closely.
After following her for most of the day, he saw Aunt Chun staying at a Taoist temple before dark, so he quietly left.
