Zhaohui Hall, the room was filled with silent darkness. Only a dim yellow light was lit in the corner.
The light was so dim that only a faint silhouette of a person could be made out. Nothing else could be seen in the dark.
Fucheng stood in front of the bed and under the faint light, his shadow was distorted and weirdly shaped.
âYao Yanâer went insane. Now, sheâs so dumb that she canât speak a thing.â
A husky male voice came from the bed, âDonât bother to ask her anymore. Pull out her tongue, chop off her hand, then throw her to the military barracks as a prostitute. â
âThe madam is in a pretty bad state, but Yuchan is watching over herâ¦â Fucheng paused, then said, âThe child made a fuss, so Lady Su asked for the child to be brought over. On account of the child, she wonât do anything stupid.â
After a long time, a voice came from the bed. âRetreat.â
Fucheng left and the room fell into a dead silence again.
When Yanâer woke up, she was locked up in a gloomy room.
When someone approached her that day and asked about Su Yaoniang, she knew this matter was not simple.
She never expected that Su Yaoniang would become a concubine of His Highness, Jin Wang. Based on what! Her body has been dirtied and she even gave birth to a wild bastard.
A slut like Yaoniang should suffer the same miserable fate as herself. Not able to marry a decent man but could only be worthy of being a stepmother. Or she could marry a deaf, lame or blind person. But why must she be better than her?!
Indeed, Yaoniang was better than her. She became a concubine for His Highness Jin Wang.
Yanâer could tell that the person asking her about Su Yaoniang did not have any good intentions. So she left out certain details and only spoke about Su Yaoniangâs scandalous past. She concealed what role she had played in exchange for the opportunity to work in the princeâs residence
The other party was really sinister. They even found a random man to play the villain that dirtied Su Yaoniangâs body. Yanâer could almost predict how miserable Su Yaoniang would end up. Maybe she would lose so much face that she wouldnât even be able to face others and commit suicide on the spot.
In fact, Yaoniang did end up crying miserably, but it wasnât her who died. It was her so-called man. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yanâer never expected the handsome and noble Jin Wang to be such a terrifying person! He actually did such a thing to cover up for Su Yaoniang!
She was so frightened that she could predict what her fate would be without even needing to think. So when someone came to interrogate her, she pretended to be crazy.
She thought that no one would make life difficult for a crazy person.
She only wanted to preserve her life and didnât dare to even think about serving the prince.
The door opened from the outside, and Yanâer wondered if someone came to throw her out. Someone pulled her up from the ground but didnât throw her out. Instead, she was pressed to the ground, and something was stuck into her mouthâ
Then there was a terrible howl.
The gatekeeper, Granny Qian, yawned and opened the back door. She was holding a broom in her hand while her other hand was still rubbing her eyes.
The sky was just beginning to get bright. It seemed to be quite early, but for the servants of Jin Wang Mansion, it was nothing.
Suddenly, a person appeared in front of the door, but Granny Qian wasnât startled. When she took a closer look, the person appeared to be a young lady.
âWhat are you doing here? Do you know what this place is!?â Then she scolded, âWhat are the guards even doing? Allowing random people to show up at the back door.â
The young lady hurriedly said, âGranny Qian, Granny Qian, canât you recognize me?â
âWho can you be? Some sort of VIP?â Granny Qian sneered but when she took a closer look at the woman she felt that she seemed familiar. She just couldnât remember her name.
With a reluctant smile on her face, the young lady said grudgingly, âGranny Qian, I am the maid, Tao Shan, who served Side Consort Hu in Liuchun Pavilion. You must have seen me before, but I was released a while back. I wanted to visit my old mistress, but my home is quite far away from here. After walking for an entire day and night, I arrived at an untimely hour, so I could only wait outside the door.â
Granny Qian made an âohâ sound as it finally clicked in her mind. âAh, it turned out to be you.â
âYes, yes.â Tao Shan laughed with her, âMy man is also here. He came by carriage. The guard at the end of the street recognized me, and checked our IDs before letting us in.â
As she said this, a manâs face appeared from a mule carriage parked not far away. He smiled nervously at Nanny Qian.
âI came to visit the side consort and brought a lot of things from my hometown. Iâll give you some but please inform her about my arrival. If I get any rewards from the side consort, your benefits would also not be lacking.â Tao Shan understood the nature of this woman quite well, which was why she said all this.
She arrived in front of her carriage and took two lively old hens from the manâs hands and handed them over to Granny Qian respectfully. Then Granny Qian showed a smile and said, âYou are quite fortunate and you seem to have married well.â
Her words referred to how Tao Shan could afford to give her two old hens at once. On top of that, the mule carriage also played a role.
Tao Shan showed a reluctant smile. âHeâs only an ordinary farmer.â
Granny Qian has benefited, so she was willing to say a few words to Tao Shan. âYou think I donât know about you getting married? The Side Consort cares about her people and didnât bestow you a small amount back then. Those rewards are enough for your family to live on for dozens of years. You are quite smart for leaving the manor early. Since your master is considerate of old feelings, she will never forget you. Ever since you left, the people by her side are always changing. The maid serving her now received your name and is called Tao Hong.â
Tao Shan had something on her mind, so how could she be willing to listen to this? Yet she had no choice but to smile and deal with Nanny Qian.
The sun was finally higher up in the sky and Side Consort Hu should have gotten up by then. Nanny Qian turned and entered through the door to ask the person who was working with her to pass on a message.
Maybe Tao Shan was really a different existence for Side Consort Hu. She was summoned inside without needing to wait long.
Side Consort Hu stepped back, and Tao Shan knelt in front of her with a plop, crying, âMadam, please save my life!â
Mini-theater:
Yanâer: The city folks are too complicated! I want to return to the countryside. This baby is so scared, and good-looking men are too scary. I will never be naughty anymore. QAQ
Fucheng grinned: Itâs too late
