Chapter 55 Begonia
"Your Highness, please don't drive me away. I have no home..." Haitang knelt down on the ground, tears streaming down her face.
Haitang refused to admit that her master was Princess Zhao Lian'er of Xincheng.
Haitang thought that Princess Ronghua Zhu Huai was really unpredictable.
After all, Haitang had seen what a fool Zhu Huaizhen looked like.
"Haitang, why don't you have a home?" Zhu Huaizhen snorted coldly.
Haitang is originally from Gusu, Southern Wu.
Her parents favored sons over daughters. Her mother gave birth to eight daughters in a row, and she was the eighth. The first seven daughters were all married as child brides in exchange for money to save for the betrothal gift to her younger brother.
My younger brother is the treasure of the family, while the crabapple is a weed.
My younger brother wants to eat chicken legs, so Haitang can only eat chicken butts.
My younger brother wore new clothes during the Chinese New Year, so Haitang had to do the laundry.
These hard days are so painful that I can’t see the future.
Haitang wished she could become a child bride too.
However, the family was short of a maid to serve her younger brother, so she couldn't run away.
Until she met Zhao Lian'er, Zhao Lian'er bent down and asked her if she hated her father, mother and brother.
She originally wanted to say she didn't hate him, but then her brother stole money and wrongly accused her of stealing it. Without further ado, her parents whipped out a cane and beat her violently.
So, she became very hateful.
Zhao Lian'er handed Haitang a fire starter and told her that if she made up her mind, she could come find her and she would arrange a place for her.
So, Haitang thought about it again and again, and thinking about the wound on her back that had split open and was burning with pain, she finally made a decision that would satisfy Zhao Lian'er.
She made a last supper for her father, mother and brother.
After eating, my father, mother, and younger brother all fell to the ground unconscious.
Then she took out a tinderbox and set fire to the thatched house.
The blazing fire was the most beautiful scene she had ever seen.
She did not feel guilty, but rather felt more relaxed than ever before.
She went to see Zhao Lian'er, who rewarded her with a poison called Broken Heart Powder.
Taking the antidote regularly every month is no different from taking a normal person and will not affect your lifespan.
However, if the antidote is not available, one will have to endure excruciating pain.
Zhao Lian'er instructed her to go to the place where Princess Ronghua had to pass, and sell herself to bury her father, mother and brother.
Seeing that Chen Ming'an was present, Princess Ronghua would definitely show mercy and take her in.
Anyway, the princess's mansion is not short of Haitang's food.
Originally, things were going smoothly.
However, Chen Ming'an suddenly spoke up, saying that Princess Ronghua should not be a bad person and should just give her enough money to make a living. Princess Ronghua thought this made sense and ordered Tu Mi to take out a bag of silver and give it to her.
She received the silver and expressed her gratitude profusely, thinking that it would be a good idea to make a living on her own.
Unfortunately, her heartbroken hair flared up and she rolled on the ground in pain. She had no choice but to grab the hem of Zhao Lian'er's skirt and beg for mercy.
Zhao Lian'er said coldly that her chess piece was wasted.
In other words, she was doomed to die.
She was unwilling to give up. She had finally gotten rid of her father, mother and brother, and now had money in her hands. Shouldn't she enjoy life to the fullest?
So she hit her head, blood flowing down her face like tears, and finally got a chance.
So she took the antidote and planned a scene where she was a hero saving a beautiful girl.
The hero is Princess Ronghua and the beauty is her.
She lied that she was sold to a low-class brothel and had escaped with great difficulty. Unfortunately, the brothel would not let her go and sent thugs to capture her.
Her clothes were half undressed, and her shoulders were covered with bruises and purple marks.
For this mark, she did allow herself to be bullied by the wild man.
Such pain will be unforgettable for a lifetime.
In the end, Princess Ronghua relented and took her back home.
