Qin Zongzhi made a solemn promise, but Zhao Yunzhu did not take his words to heart.
As Wang Min said, she is the daughter of a guilty minister and cannot bear children, so how can she become the main wife? Moreover, her mind is not on the main wife.
"Your Highness, I'm going back now. I won't bother you any more."
Zhao Yunzhu insisted on leaving, and Qin Zongzhi couldn't keep her, so he personally sent her away.
When Miss Wang heard the news, she wanted to come and see him off, but she remembered the previous argument between them and decided not to come.
In the carriage, Nanny Hua's face turned unhappy when she saw the eldest lady coming out of Miss Wang's tent.
"Miss, what difficulties have you encountered?"
Aunt Hua tried to speak, and Zhao Yunzhu let out a breath of foul air, "Aunt, it's okay."
Seeing that she was unwilling to bring up the topic, Nanny Hua had no choice but to give up. "Okay, then Miss, please sleep for a while, lean on Nanny."
Zhao Yunzhu nodded and leaned her head on Nanny Hua's shoulder. Linglong took a blanket and covered the young lady with it.
On the way back to the city, the bumpy ride of the carriage made Zhao Yunzhu fall asleep all the way.
Just before the carriage reached the city gate, it suddenly shook violently.
This made Zhao Yunzhu feel much more relaxed.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Linglong leaning against the wall of the carriage and looking outside.
"Miss, there is a child lying in the middle of the road, and we don't know whether he is dead or alive."
Linglong turned around and reported that the coachman had already gotten off the carriage to check.
Aunt Hua took the cloak and put it on Zhao Yunzhu.
"Concubine Yun, the child is still alive, but for some reason he fainted on the road."
The driver replied respectfully through the curtain.
"Linglong, go get the child in the car and take him to the clinic."
"yes."
Linglong got off the carriage and saw that the child who fainted on the road was a girl about nine years old. She had a dirty face, was wearing brown coarse cloth, and had a withered face.
There is a faint breath at the tip of the nose.
Linglong picked up the little girl, only to find that she was very light and didn't weigh much in her hands.
It's so heartbreaking to watch.
"Miss, it's a girl."
Aunt Hua lifted the curtain and Linglong carried the girl into the carriage.
Zhao Yunzhu looked up and said, "Let's take it back and have a look first."
The driver then sped up his pace and headed straight back to the city to find a clinic.
When the few people got off the carriage, Nanny Hua had already cleaned the dust off the girl's cheeks. The girl had a pretty face. Apart from her thin figure and a sallow face, there were no other problems.
Zhao Yunzhu felt relieved only after the doctor examined the girl.
The girl fainted from hunger, but there was nothing serious wrong with her body.
She had just taken the girl back and asked someone to prepare food.
Linglong and Xia Yue washed the girl's body and changed her into clean clothes.
The girl was woken up by the smell of food in a daze. How could she see anything around her?
All I could see was the food on the table.
She rushed over quickly, having used up all her strength. She could only hold on to the edge of the table with both hands and grabbed the food on the table with her bare hands and gobbled it up.
After an unknown amount of time, the girl ate to her heart's content, burped, closed her eyes, and fell backwards.
Aunt Hua was quick to support the girl.
It was both funny and helpless, "Miss..."
"Let her sleep first, and we'll talk when she wakes up."
Zhao Yunzhu understood that the girl would probably sleep for a long time.
But to her surprise, the girl slept until the afternoon of the next day before waking up.
Only then did she realize that the person who saved her life was Concubine Yun from Prince An's Mansion.
"Concubine Yun has been so kind to me. I have no way to repay her. I can only kowtow to her and express my gratitude."
Mo Niang now had strength and her voice became louder. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhao Yunzhu several times after she finished speaking.
Zhao Yunzhu quickly signaled to the craftsman Hua Ma to help him up.
"It's okay, get up."
Mo Niang came here to escape the famine this year. She has three younger brothers at home.
She has been working like a slave at home since she was young, doing all the hard, tiring and dirty work.
But even so, my parents didn't look happy with me.
One night, she accidentally heard her parents discussing selling her to a brothel.
Because the brothel can give six taels of silver.
Six taels of silver was her family's annual expenses.
But what is a brothel? My neighbor Aunt Wang's daughter, Sister Tian, was sold to a brothel a few years ago. She escaped once, but was sent back by her parents again.
It was during that time when Sister Tian escaped back that she finally knew what the brothel was.
That's a place where people make money by selling their bodies. Once you go in, there's no way out.
Her parents had never expected that no matter how much they disliked her, she was still their daughter, and they would actually sell her to a brothel for six taels of silver.
She escaped at night, running aimlessly on her own two legs.
As long as she is not caught, she can decide her own life.
She fled for three days without a penny and finally fainted from hunger on the road. Fortunately, she met Concubine Yun.
"You are also a miserable person, so what are your plans for the future?"
Zhao Yunzhu felt a little distressed when she heard about what happened to Mo Niang.
Mo Niang bravely raised her head to meet Zhao Yunzhu's gaze, "Concubine Yun, although Mo Niang is young, I can do any job. I beg Concubine Yun to keep me."
"good."
Zhao Yunzhu agreed without hesitation.
Although Aunt Hua wanted to persuade her, she felt that Mo Niang was so pitiful that she didn't say anything.
"Madame Hua sent someone to Mo Niang's house to give her six taels of silver and tell her that she had been bought. From now on, I will have nothing to do with her family."
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
Mo Niang didn't expect that Concubine Yun would agree so readily. Her eyes turned red and she choked with sobs and kowtowed several times.
Zhao Yunzhu asked Linglong to take her to teach her some rules first.
…
When Mo Niang's family received the silver, they naturally happily accepted it. After all, how could they dare to offend Concubine Yun from Prince An's Mansion who bought Mo Niang?
This day.
Zhao Yunzhu and her maid were in the kitchen preparing food.
The servant brought an invitation, and Mrs. Wang invited her to attend a banquet at the Wang family tomorrow to attend Miss Wang's coming-of-age banquet.
Although she didn't like the Wang family, such a big thing happened and she was now in the city. If she didn't go, she would be criticized.
I might as well go there.
She asked Aunt Hua to go out and buy some red gold pearl hairpins as a gift.
As usual, she brought along Aunt Hua, Linglong, and Xia Yue.
Just as he was about to go out, he caught a glimpse of Mo Niang hiding behind a pillar with a sneaky look on her face.
She smiled and waved, "Mo Niang, come here."
Mo Niang lowered her head, blushed, and walked out from behind the pillar embarrassedly.
"Mo Niang also wants to join in the fun?"
Zhao Yunzhu's voice was gentle.
Mo Niang raised her head, her eyes full of desire, "Concubine Yun, can I go too..."
Although she knew she shouldn't go.
But in this mansion, she only knew Concubine Yun and Nanny Hua.
Now that they were all going out, she was all alone in the mansion, feeling a little scared.
