I fought back after reselling my engagement

Xia Yang sent someone to send a message.

At dusk that day, Mao Liuniang and her mother Ma entered the women's guest quarters of the Governor's Mansion.

Shi Jian had a stern face.

Princess Changle said, "You and your daughter are the result of Princess Jiarou's favor. From now on, you are the family members of a criminal and will be demoted to palace maids. Prince Gong's Mansion also has palace slaves and maids. You will serve me for the time being. When you arrive at Prince Gong's Mansion, you will work in the embroidery room."

Mao Liuniang and her mother hid in the crowd today. They did not enjoy the happiness when the Mao family was prosperous, and now the Mao family is guilty. They just hope to live in peace and work as palace maids in Prince Gong's mansion, which is better than being slaves in the imperial palace.

"I bow to thank you, my lady!"

The mother and daughter thanked Princess Changle for rescuing them.

If the Mao family had not committed the crime, Mao Liuniang would have been able to get a good marriage, but now everything is ruined. They have no other choice but to live a clean life, not to mention that the mother and daughter who depend on each other are still together.

Having just escaped from the fire pit, he didn’t even dare to ask about other members of the Mao family.

Princess Changle said, "Forget it. Take them to rest with the others. Tomorrow, order them to pack their bags and buy some local ceremonies for Yueyang Prefecture. Then, return to the capital the day after tomorrow morning."

That night, although they became palace maids, Mao Liuniang and Ma slept more peacefully than ever before. They no longer had to be on guard against the Mao family or worry about the old lady making things difficult for them.

That night, eight handsome young men from the Mao mansion's men's courtyard were taken away, and all the family members from the women's courtyard were taken on to a large ship.

That night, all the remaining male members of the Mao Mansion were beheaded in that yard, and blood flowed like a river. The male servants and stewards of the Mao Mansion were driven to the Mao family's sacrificial mountain forest to dig a big pit. They watched hundreds of Mao family men being killed, and they all remained silent, fearing that they would be killed by the supervisory guards if they were not careful.

The cruelty of the Supervisory Guards was well-known throughout the world. The once high-ranking masters and sons of the Mao family had now all turned into ghosts and were hastily buried in large pits, with no one worshipping them ever since.

Those who despise human life will eventually have their lives treated as worthless.

The Mao family of Yueyang is not innocent.

The male servants were shocked to see the familiar faces sleeping in the deep pits they had dug. Who could have imagined that the Mao family, which had been famous in Yueyang for nearly a hundred years, would be destroyed in this way.

*

On a big ship on the Beijing-Shanghai Canal.

The Supervisory Guards are selecting slaves, and according to the rules they have to be divided into three categories: the top class will be sent to the Official Music House to be official prostitutes, and this part cannot be touched, as they are supposed to make money for the Supervisory Guards and serve the dignitaries in the capital; the middle class can be touched, and the lower class can be manipulated at will, and these two grades are all camp prostitutes sent to the border to entertain the troops.

The masked supervisory guard who led the group said gloomily, "The selected female guards will go to the second floor bunk beds. Don't play tricks on me. The supervisory guards can kill people and make you live a life worse than death. The Mao family has committed a serious crime that is unforgivable. Don't even think about the good things you did in the past."

Several people exchanged glances, and two masked female guards walked in and looked at them one by one, as if they were selecting cattle and sheep. In the past, these ladies and girls selected servants in the same way, but now, their identities have changed, and they are the ones waiting to be selected.

One after another, girls from the Mao family were selected and, under the guidance of female guards, they walked into the stairs leading to the second floor. Eight boys from the Mao family were also selected this time, and Mao Wulang was among them.

The remaining female family members were selected by the supervisory guards. This time, they chose women who were older and less attractive in appearance and sent them into a large room on the first floor.

The rest were of medium quality and were accommodated in another large room on the ship.

Fox Thirteen came out of a small room at the side, clasped his fists and called out to the leading supervisory guard: "Second Senior Brother, the night is long, why don't you pick two beautiful ladies to serve you today?"

"You are just a little girl, stop worrying about my affairs."

Fox Thirteen said with a flattering smile: "Second Senior Brother, if you don't ask Mao Yuanniang and Mao Sanniang to serve you tonight, then I will give them to Seventh Senior Brother."

"He agreed?"

"Seventh Senior Brother, if you drink tonight, you will definitely have a good time."

"Okay, send him off."

Mao Yuanniang, Mao Sanniang and Mao Siniang had their faces disfigured by the angry women of the Mao family. They were once top-class beauties but fell to average beauty. Now they serve in the Supervisory Guards. Except for those few who claimed to be practicing virgin skills, she has touched all the other men in the Supervisory Guards.

Fox Shisan felt happy when he thought about how the woman who used to pretend to be a noble lady and a saint had fallen to her current state.

It seemed like someone was talking outside. When Fox Thirteen reached the deck, he saw several mountain villages on the shore with bright lights.

Hu Qilang embraced Mao Yuanniang on his left and Mao Sanniang on his right, looking very happy. When they reached the deck, he exclaimed, "General Lu acted very quickly. He took down the five strongholds of the Mao family in such a short time."

Mao Yuanniang looked at the fire and saw that even the mountain stronghold was destroyed.

The Mao family started out as bandits. This is not just a rumor but a fact. The main branch is in Yueyang Prefecture, enjoying wealth and glory. The other two side branches are located in the Beijing-Hunan Grand Canal, 300 miles away in the Yueyang Prefecture section.

It's over. Earlier she was hoping that people from the branch would come to the rescue, but now five villages have been destroyed.

I'm afraid most of the people in the branch are dead.

Mao Sanniang asked, "How could we lose? How could we lose?"

Her voice was not loud, but her heart was filled with surprise and disappointment.

They could not be saved.

Maybe she will really be demoted to an official prostitute or a camp prostitute.

Hu Erlang said, "There are more than 5,800 bandits in the five villages. According to the court's rules, if there are more than a thousand bandits, they are considered rebels. The Mao family's five villages are now guilty of treason. They have been lingering in Yueyang Prefecture for more than a hundred years, and they were all destroyed in one day."

Hu Sanlang was holding a beauty in his arms, the young grandmother of the Mao family, and was teasing wantonly, "Lu Yan led 30,000 troops this time, and borrowed 30,000 troops from the Hunan Provincial Guard from Su Jingzhai. If 60,000 troops can't deal with the Mao family's five camps with less than 6,000 people, then it really failed the emperor's respect!"

"The Su family hated the Mao family deeply. They wanted to befriend the Mao family and sent their granddaughter to study there, but they didn't expect such a tragedy to happen. Now that Su Qiniang died at the hands of the Mao family, how could Su Jingzhai not seek revenge?"

It was the Mao family who first provoked the Su family.

After Su Qinnan's death, no matter how unbearable it was, no one would talk about a "dead person". But the Mao family had so many enemies alive, and the surviving women would have a hard time in the future.

Hu Qilang asked: "Is Lu Yan going to eliminate the banditry in Hunan Province this time?"

Hu Erlang snorted, "Relying on his military merits, he wants to covet Princess Jiarou. Sooner or later, he will fall flat on his face."

"It's okay to daydream."

The three of us were talking at the same time.

Fox Thirteen stood aside, his eyes burning, "Princess Jiarou and General Lu...are actually quite a good match."

"Bah, what do you know, little kid? They are so different, how can they be a match?"

One is unmarried, the other is unmarried, and the age difference between them is not that big, so they are a good match.

When the girls of the Mao family found out that their two branches of bandits had gotten into trouble, they were so shocked that they were speechless for a moment.

In the past, they looked down upon the daughters of officials with disdain, and they still do so now.

In the past, they bullied others, but now others bully them. Their lives are like floating duckweed, and the future is unpredictable.
