From an old woman back to a young girl, she vowed never to marry into a marquisate

At this moment, despair filled Jiang Qin's whole body.

She suddenly realized that what made her most desperate in this desert was not the sandstorm and endless work, but the vicious family in the Marquis' Mansion.

Jiang Qin accepted her fate and got up from the ground. She crawled to Mrs. Du's side and said, "Mom, I'll help you up."

Mrs. Du had just vented her anger enough, and now, although she was reluctant, she followed her and stood up from the sand.

The dispute was settled again. Zhou Ziyue frowned irritably and turned to leave.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a very pitiful cry from a woman in front of him.

"Ah! Stop hitting me. I was wrong. I won't do it again! Ah!"

Zhou Ziyue and other prisoners were attracted by the sound, and they looked forward. They saw a very thin, ragged, and dirty woman rolling in the sand.

A Shanrong man was whipping her with a whip. Her skinny body was covered with scars. She already had many scars, and the new wounds were superimposed on the old ones, making her look bloody and shocking.

Although the Shanrong were nomadic people, they had a very strict internal hierarchy. Among them, there was a type of slaves, which was different from the slaves of the Zhou Dynasty. Most of these people were people who had offended the upper class of the Shanrong or had committed crimes in the tribe. The Shanrong slaves did the lowest and dirtiest jobs, ate and lived with animals, and could be slaughtered by their masters. They were truly worse than pigs and dogs.

The place where the prisoners worked was not far from the Shanrong tribe, so it was common for them to see the slaves being beaten and scolded.

There were also many slaves who died the night before and whose bodies were thrown into the desert the next day.

So they are not surprised.

The Shanrong man angrily said, "You useless piece of shit! I really don't know why I bought you back!" Tired of beating him, he just stood there and cursed, "Why don't you come and get the stuff?"

The Shanrong were a nomadic people who would often migrate to oases with water sources.

The Shanrong tribe was migrating with their belongings, but the one pulling the things was not an animal, but this woman.

The woman didn't dare to say more. She crawled up from the ground, raised her wounded hands, and wiped her face with a long scar with trembling hands, then put the heavy reins on her shoulders.

And at this moment, her face turned around.

Zhou Ziyue clearly saw that she was none other than Tang Yueer!

At this moment, even Zhou Ziyue couldn't help but feel sad. How could she become like this?

And Tang Yueer also saw Zhou Ziyue standing in front of her!

Her pupils shrank suddenly.

Zi Yue!

That turned out to be her former lover!!

At that moment, Tang Yueer, who had experienced three full years of inhuman torture, suddenly had tears in her eyes.

She really wanted to shout out: Yue! Yue is me, I am Yue'er!

Then she held his hand and cried bitterly.

However, when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them.

Although Zhou Ziyue in front of her was a criminal, she had to admit that he lived a much better life than her. At least he had food to eat and a place to live.

Unlike her, now she is not even a person.

How could she have the nerve to talk to him?

What’s more important is that when the Marquis’ Mansion was in the most dangerous time, she fled to the Zhao family.

To this day, Zhou Ziyue's words, "You and I go our separate ways, and we have nothing to do with each other anymore," still echo in her ears.

How did the words come out of her mouth?

"Let's go!"

With a "snap!" sound, the whip behind him hit his shoulder again. Tang Yueer gritted her teeth and held back her tears. She turned her head away, wiped her tears with her hand, and continued to pull the heavy object forward.

There was no extra expression on Zhou Ziyue's face. He looked at Tang Yue'er the same way he looked at any stranger.

No, worse than a stranger.

Seeing Tang Yue'er leave, Zhou Ziyue withdrew his gaze, turned around and continued to leave with Jiang Qin and Du.

Mrs. Du did not recognize that the woman was Tang Yue'er, but Jiang Qin did.

She looked at Tang Yue'er's back, and her eyes flashed secretly.

Jiangnan, Rongcheng.

Skylark Tower.

There were several exquisite Jiangnan side dishes on the table. Yun Ting was eating beans while listening to several graceful girls singing in the audience.

He came to Jiangnan at the same time as Bai Yanli, and now lives in a small temple outside Rongcheng.

After dealing with Liu Xianghe last time, Yun Ting gave all the precious items of the Tang family that Liu Xianghe was carrying to Tang Wanru.

Afterwards, Tang Wanru rewarded him with a large sum of money. He used the money to have a good time outside for three years before returning.

He was just watching leisurely when he heard a voice behind him: "Master Yun went out for a walk and is no longer a monk. Why did he come here?"

The voice was none other than Bai Yanli.

Yunque Tower is a famous place in Rongcheng where there are many beautiful women.

When he heard it was him, Yun Ting quickly swallowed the beans in his mouth and stood up.

Although Tang Wanru gave him a sum of money to spend, he knew very well that money like that was not always available. To have the kind of money that would last for a long time, he still had to do his job well and recognize his master.

Seeing that it was indeed Bai Yanli, Yun Ting narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I'm not looking at women. I went to Wushan a while ago and finally found the pine branches that the ancient books said had juice that could make people's skin white, so I observed their skin to see what kind of white looks best."

After saying this, Yun Ting was stunned again.

In fact, there is no need to look at it. Isn’t the most beautiful white the one worn by Tang Wanru?

But that color cannot be achieved even with shaking pine branches.

and so……

When Yun Ting thought of this, he felt inexplicably lost.

The color of the woman he couldn't get... made him suffer so much.

Bai Yanli came out today for something, but he ended up standing here alone, feeling happy at one moment and sad at the next, as if he had some kind of illness.

Bai Yanli ignored him and asked directly: "Yun Ting, I have something to do in the northwest. Do you think I can go?"
