"I wasn't born into a family; I was a contract maid sold to the Xue family when I was a child."
They can leave the mansion when they are twenty years old.
She was previously a second-class maidservant by Madam Xue's side.
When the imperial court ordered eligible men to marry, I had already found a partner for myself.
It was Xue Mengyu who ruined me.
She asked me to be her dowry maid, and then to consummate our marriage.
Upon hearing the words "consummate the marriage," Chi Yu's eyes widened instantly.
Did she hear that right? Xue Mengyu got married and had her maid consummate the marriage in her place?
If this is the case, there are only two explanations.
Firstly, Xue Mengyu was not a virgin to begin with, and she was afraid that Qi Mingyu would find out if she didn't bleed, so she found someone to take her place.
Secondly, she might not like Qi Mingyu, or she might have someone else in her heart and want to preserve her chastity, which is why she had the maid take her place.
However, judging from the information she had previously learned, Xue Mengyu's behavior was most likely due to the former.
Thinking of this, Chi Yu couldn't help but want to laugh.
I wonder what Qi Mingyu's expression would be if he knew that Xue Mengyu had cheated on him?
Wow, this is going to be fun.
The scumbag's hand is crippled, rendering his future in the imperial examinations hopeless. Meanwhile, Xue Mengyu, relying on her family's wealth and having a lover outside the marriage...
Just imagining the chaos and turmoil that would plague the Qi family from now on filled her with joy.
If she could, she really wanted to go to the scene and watch the drama unfold!
Zhao Xi had no idea what Chi Yu was thinking, but she saw her eyes light up and the corners of her mouth slowly turning upwards.
She continued, "Yes, Xue Mengyu asked me if I was a virgin, and then asked me to take her place."
I'm not crazy, how could I possibly agree to that?
But she held my indenture hostage and threatened to harm my family.
What can a lowly maid like me do when facing my master?
I finally negotiated with her, and she said she would let me go afterward, so I went with her as part of her dowry.
But after we consummated our marriage, that slut suddenly didn't want to let me go and even wanted to kill me.
I was going all out and threatened to call the Qi family over so they could see what kind of person she was, that she only ran away at the last minute.
As she said this, fearing that Chi Yu wouldn't believe her, she finally steeled herself, gritted her teeth, and said:
"If Madam Chi doesn't believe me, she can examine my body."
You can also go to the county town to find Doctor Liu and ask me if I got contraceptive medicine on the sixth day of the lunar new year.
I specifically got that medicine because I was afraid of getting pregnant from it.
Upon hearing the word "sixth day," Chi Yu frowned and said, "Sixth day? More than ten days have passed now."
At this point, Zhao Xi blushed slightly: "Yes! I originally planned to come here after I went to the yamen to get rid of my slave status."
But I don't know the situation here, so I want to buy some food.
By the way, I have money, which Xue Mengyu gave me after I threatened her.
But to my surprise, it was hard to buy grain in the county town, so I spent some time on it.
After buying the grain, I originally planned to hire a vehicle to come here.
Unfortunately, most of the horse-drawn carts and ox-drawn carts in the county town were used to repair the city wall.
There was no other way, so I bought a single-wheeled cart and pushed it myself.
Because they were transporting grain, it was too conspicuous.
I dare not go out during the day, for fear of being watched.
Therefore, they all chose to travel at night and find a place to rest during the day.
I wasn't familiar with Chijia'ao, so I could only walk around and stop occasionally.
When you come across a village, hide your belongings and then ask for directions.
And then, it's been delayed until now..."
