The maid's road to success

An Yun did his best to treat Chen Luoxi and make medicine for him every day, and only felt relieved when he saw that he was gradually getting better.

Chen Luoxi owes a great debt of gratitude to the Yuan family because he showed up in time and saved his four brothers and sisters, which saved her and her sister from being abused in the mine.

That rescue actually saved several lives. The life-saving medicine was gone, and once she and her sister revealed their female identities, they would inevitably be poisoned by those black-hearted officers.

By then, the elder brother and younger brother will definitely find ways to avenge them, but I'm afraid they will all die in the end.

Except for these few people, all other members of the Yuan family are dead. If they die too, who will avenge the Yuan family and who will continue the Yuan family's roots?

Chen Luoxi not only saved four people, he gave them new life, avenged the Yuan family, and saved the family.

The Yuan family can no longer repay this favor. The eldest brother has now regained his original identity and has become the emperor's imperial physician. He can no longer openly pledge allegiance to the young master.

So the eldest brother's original decision was to let herself become the young master's concubine, not asking for wealth or favor, but only wanting to follow the young master and protect him and the master of the Chen family.

But as soon as this idea was brought up, the young master's reaction made the brother and sister realize how wrong this idea was.

Most men in the world have three wives and four concubines. Some are devoted to their wives, or a particular woman. However, few men with a certain status have only one woman.

An Yun and the others never imagined that Chen Luoxi would be so unwilling to accept other women. In his eyes, only Wen Niang could stand by his side and accompany him through the long years of his life.

Anyone else who wants to destroy him and Wen Niang will only get his wrath.

When the Old Lady and Madam Bai disagreed with Wen Niang entering the Duke's Mansion, the Young Master's reaction actually told them the consequences. He refused to communicate with them and rejected any woman they introduced to him.

I won’t marry anyone other than Wen Niang, and I don’t want anyone other than Wen Niang.

Since then, An Yun no longer had that idea. There were many ways to repay the favor. There was no need to anger the young master. At worst, she would not get married and just follow the young master and the girl to serve him.

Anyway, she had no way to carry on the family line. That was her older and younger brother's business, and she didn't care.

At An Yun's reminder, Chen Luoxi forced himself to calm down. This time he panicked and forgot that Wen Niang was actually a very smart woman.

When she was twelve or thirteen years old, she was able to take me from Kyoto to Lin County. She found me the identity of An Zizhong and accompanied me all the way back to Kyoto.

Among them, Wen Niang also has a very important position.

For a woman like this, he was chasing her blindly without any plan.

"Young Master is awake. The medicine is already warm. Do you want to drink it now?"

Chen Luoxi nodded, took the medicine from Zhushan's hand, drank it all, and then looked at Zhushan.

"Sir, why are you looking at me like that?"

Chen Luoxi made Zhushan a little nervous.

"An Yun has some drugs that can control people and ask for what they need. Take Zhu Hai with you to give Wang Ershun the drugs and find out about Wen Niang and Bi He."

Zhushan didn't expect that An Yun actually had such a strange thing in his hand. He immediately recalled whether he had ever angered An Yun, in order to prevent himself from being given some strange medicine by An Yun one day.

Zhushan and Zhuhai went to Wangjia Village, and Chen Luoxi was thinking about Wen Niang's thoughts in his mind.

Wen Niang left for the harmony and development of the Chen family. She had no one to rely on except herself and the people in the mansion, so she would definitely try to reduce her presence as much as possible.

Wen Niang's favorite life was to marry an ordinary and honest man, have her own small yard, work as a maid in it with her children, and teach them how to play.

But she was destined not to be able to fulfill this wish. However, she was a person who liked to make life better, and she would certainly not run away blindly. The scenery along the way was her goal.

Although there are many magnificent and stunning scenery in the north and west, they are not very safe. There are also many mysterious and talented people in the southwest.

For example, wizards, Miao witches, and poison doctors, these people not only have strange skills, but also strange temperaments. Sometimes they may choose you and make you their medicine slave just by looking at each other.

Wen Niang has expressed more than once that she is afraid of the talented people in the southwest, so the southwest is unlikely, and the only possible destinations are the east and south.

It is unlikely to be in a coastal area, where there are pirates and Japanese pirates. Moreover, the family power is entrenched, like a local emperor, and ordinary people in the local area do not have the right to decide their own life and death.

Chen Luoxi asked Zhuchuan to take out the geomancy map and tick off all the places where Wen Niang would not return.

In the end, only six places were selected.

Luzhou has appeared here before, and even if Wen Niang has been there, she would have escaped.

Qingzhou, it was obvious that they left after resolving Bihe's issue.

Huanzhou is a beautiful place.

Fuzhou is also a prosperous and stable provincial capital.

Anzhou is a famously wealthy town with unique customs and people.

Yuzhou, a moist and peaceful place.

The places where Wen Niang might appear are the remaining four.

Fortunately, fortunately, he still has enough time to find it.

In the afternoon, An Yun and Zhushan returned and brought a lot of news.

"Your subordinates are too stupid. They only ask about my identity, whereabouts and what I did."

Chen Luoxi glanced at her and asked.

"So what did you cleverly ask?"

An Yun sat proudly in the chair, with his hands on the armrests and his head held high, looking very contented.

"I asked for key information."

"Wang Ershun said that Bihe revealed her true appearance in order to use Liu Xi, which means that they all changed their appearance. He also had contact with An Ning and An Ping, and said that they were good at martial arts. There was a dressing box for the little girl in the room. She had small feet and her body was not as strong as a man's."

Chen Luoxi nodded with satisfaction.

"The surname An means that the names of these two people are either a coincidence, or they were changed by Wen Niang when she bought or rescued them."

Chen Luoxi nodded, this possibility is very high.

"However, Wen Niang and Bi He's appearance changed since they left Kyoto. They could have been anywhere during this time, so we can't find out where these two people bought the items."

Chen Luoxi naturally knew that it was impossible to investigate these two people. As long as he knew that they were women, it would be much easier. There were only four places where Wen Niang could go. He was not afraid of trouble and could just look for them one by one.

An Yun sat next to Chen Luoxi, and looking at his expression he knew that he had figured it out.

I couldn't help but worry about Wen Niang.

Chen Luoxi didn't really regain his former composure, but was forcing himself to calm down. If he really found Wen Niang, he was afraid that Wen Niang would not have an easy time.

Besides, she knew exactly what kind of person Chen Luoxi was after serving him for these years. Most of the time, Chen Luoxi hid his cruelty from Wen Niang in order to prevent her from noticing his brutality.

In fact, no one knows how many lives Chen Luoxi has taken. Even An Yun, who is covered in poison, is afraid of such a person.

"Research carefully recently to see if there is anything that can help me recover quickly. Once the people in Kyoto have made arrangements, we will set off."

An Yun curled her lips and nodded helplessly. She knew that she was destined to be a hard worker since she was born.

Wen Niang didn't know that Chen Luoxi had already included Yuzhou in the search list, and she and Bihe were still busy with things in the shop and yard every day.

Because of the last incident, their shop became completely famous, and many people would come early to line up to buy snacks.

Some complained because they came too late and couldn't buy it, and some even questioned Wen Niang and others.

If it weren't for Bihe's eloquence, she would have said that the best way to make snacks every day is to use mountain spring water to make dough and add dew to steam the dishes, but there's really not much you can do.

Otherwise, something really would have happened. However, the reputation had spread. Although Wen Niang and her friends' shop didn't have a proper name yet, they just hung a plaque with the words "Dim Sum Shop" on it.

It is no longer appropriate now, so An Ning went to find a scholar with beautiful handwriting and paid him to write the words "Yu Fu Zhai" and make a plaque to make the store look more upscale.

The children in the backyard are all very caring.

"Big sister, second sister, are you busy now?"

Da Niu brought his brothers and sisters to Wen Niang and Bi He.

Bihe put down the pen in her hand, looked at the six little guys and asked what was wrong.

"We have been here for more than half a month. We were busy looking for food before and didn't have time to spend time with each other every day. We just called her Erya, Xiaosan, and Siya. Now I think that doesn't sound good. I want my eldest sister and second sister to give us a new name."

Wen Niang never thought that she would have to name so many people, including Anlan and Anhuang, Anping and Ning, and now several little ones. In fact, she has no special skills in naming.

"Your second sister's surname is An, and your eldest and second brothers' surnames are also An. How about you all follow suit and take the surname An?"

Daniu nodded happily. The surname An is good. It sounds like we are a family.

"Daniu is the biggest, so he'll be named Anze. There's a line in the Book of Songs that goes 'stop at propriety and righteousness, the grace of the ancient kings.' Erya will be named Anya, and Ya means righteousness."

Bihe happened to be reading the Book of Songs recently, so she chose the name from it.

The eldest daughter is called Anze, the second daughter is called Anya, the third daughter is called Annan, the fourth daughter is called Antao, the fifth daughter is Anyan and the sixth daughter is called Anlu.

The children were very happy because they had their own names. They gathered around Bihe and asked her to teach them how to write their names.

After a long commotion, they finally had no time to cook and went out to eat at a restaurant.

At night, Bihe looked at the children huddled in the main hall listening to Wen Niang reading, and she suddenly felt very happy. She had thought that she would never have children in her life. Her experience in the Jiaofangsi made her never want to get married and have children in her life.

She was forced to serve those cruel and disgusting adults, which made her vomit uncontrollably many times afterwards.

There were many scars on her body. Although Wen Niang asked the girl from the Yuan family to prescribe medicine, which removed 90% of the scars, some of them could be removed, but some could never be erased in this lifetime.

In order to make the girls from the Jiaofangsi serve the officials well, almost all of them were given infertile drugs. Even after a long period of recuperation, it was difficult for them to have children.

Every time Bihe thought of it, she remembered the scene of safflower soup being forced down their throats in order to stop them from clinging to officials and escaping from the Jiaofangsi.

Every time they served officials, there were maids watching outside. If they said something they shouldn't have said, they would be forced to kneel in the yard in the middle of winter wearing only bellybands and beaten on the mouth with bamboo boards.

His mouth was full of blood foam and his face was covered with cuts, but he didn't stop.

In order to please those officials, the Jiaofangsi allowed those men to do anything to the women of the Jiaofangsi. Even if they were beaten to death, they would just be rolled up on a mat and thrown into a mass grave.

Bihe vaguely remembered that in order to escape, she tried her best to serve an official who liked to torture women. Finally, the other party agreed to go to the head of the Jiaofangsi to ask for her.

As a result, he was soaked in ice-cold water the next day. He said that he had been comfortable for too long and had forgotten his identity as a criminal slave. He wanted to leave the Jiaofangsi and live a good life.

She was soaked in the water tank for two hours, and the people next to her kept pushing her down with a bamboo pole.

In the end, Chunxiu had to use all the jewelry and money she had saved to be forgiven for a while.

The day she left the Jiaofangsi, Bihe decided that she would never look for another man or have children of her own in her life.

But now, seeing those little kids treating me as their own sister and relying on me wholeheartedly, my heart softened.

Perhaps, God could not bear to see her being alone in her old age, so he sent her several children. Although they were physically disabled, they were kind, well-behaved and sensible.

Wen Niang felt very satisfied when she saw Bihe's appearance. She was really worried that Bihe would never get married and have children.

It’s okay now. Although these children are not Bihe’s biological children, Bihe has raised them for a long time, so she won’t have to worry about them not being filial to her in the future.

I have not experienced what Bihe has gone through, so I cannot empathize with her, but I also hope that Bihe can have her own children, with someone to take care of them and accompany them.

Although they are not her biological children, these children are all good kids. Wen Niang has tried her best to let Bihe spend more time with the children and to guide and educate them well, so she is not afraid that these children will ignore Bihe in the future.

As for herself, An Ning and An Ping, after all, they had not experienced what Bi He had, so they could not insist that they would not have children. If they met the right person in the future, Wen Niang still wanted to have a child and raise him up.

It was very late, and Bihe coaxed the children to rest. Looking at their peaceful sleeping faces, she felt more and more that this day was full of hope.

In the past, Bihe always listened to Wen Niang about where to go, where to go, and where to settle down. This time, she really felt that this place was suitable for her to live in.

The weather was getting colder and winter was about to come. The children didn't have cotton clothes yet. Bihe came to Wen Niang's room and discussed the children's affairs with her.

"In the past, I just felt sorry for the children who had no one to take care of them, and thought that if we could get by, we would help them. Now, I suddenly think that it is not bad to raise some children. After spending half a month together, I have developed some feelings for them."

Wen Niang nodded. In fact, Bihe has always been a kind person. Although she sometimes says unpleasant things, her nature has not changed. Wen Niang has long known that Bihe will develop feelings for the children.

"Now that you have made up your mind, you have to take good care of it and be responsible for it. You can't just feed and drink it like before."

Bihe nodded and looked at Wen Niang and asked.

"You manage the money in our family, so I came to ask you. I plan to order some cotton clothes for the children, and the quilts should also be replaced with thicker ones. And Anze cut his arm when he was chopping wood last time. I think we should buy firewood in the future and not let him do these dangerous jobs. Let him help at home. What do you think?"

Wen Niang nodded. This was exactly the effect she wanted. After Bihe came out of the Jiaofangsi, she no longer had the energy she once had. Except for the time she spent in Wangjia Village, when she participated in the revenge against Aunt Wang, she always listened to herself or others.

Wen Niang really couldn't bear to see her like this, so she didn't take care of the children herself, just to force Bihe to be more attentive, so that she would have more expectations for life and become more lively.

"You decide on these. Since you've decided to treat them as family, you need to give them some monthly allowance. They're all children, so you don't need to give them too much. For Anze and Anya, 100 copper coins each, and 30 copper coins for the others. You'll take care of this."

Bihe nodded. They were not the daughters of wealthy families or the sons of wealthy families. It was impossible for them to have a monthly allowance of several taels of silver like those young masters, but they also did not want to make their children suffer.

The children in the village only have a few copper coins every month. This allocation does not make the children unfair. It is enough for them to buy some snacks every month.

Bihe and Wen Niang discussed the upbringing of their children before returning to their rooms to rest. Perhaps because she had figured things out, the horrifying scenes from the Jiaofangsi no longer appeared in Bihe's dreams, and she fell asleep peacefully.
