The Virtuous Concubine

Of course, E-chan dared not not reply. Now, Concubine De has firmly sat on the throne of the head of the palace. Not only does she have a son, but she is also pregnant with a new life. She has the glory of having an heir and the emperor's favor. She is no longer the helpless girl who needed to curry favor and could only get sporadic favors from the mistress.

The existence of Malu not only brought supreme glory to Ecan and Weiwu's family, but also made their status in the Wuya family increasingly prominent. They already had the posture and influence of being the boss of the family.

However, behind this glory, there are also unknown bitterness and misfortunes. The letter that Malu received was brief and heavy: Saihe Li is now seriously ill and can't even get out of bed. And Mayanzhu has been away from home for two months and there has been no news since then.

When Malu saw the letter, he gasped - what the hell is this!

She ran away from home for two months. Is she still alive? To put it nicely, Mayanzhu is innocent. To put it bluntly, she is stupid and ignorant. How could a girl run away from home in such a world?! With countless possibilities of her being abused and then dying tragically running through his mind, Malu decided to use the probe to see where Mayanzhu is now.

It was the first time that the detector was used to see where people outside the palace were. The waiting time was longer than expected. But after the result came out, Ma Lu was really surprised - Mayanzhu was actually in a village outside the capital? I thought it was some brothel or something more terrifying.

Malu finally felt relieved. She had prepared for the worst, imagining all the misfortunes that Mayanzhu might encounter, but the village outside the capital at least meant that she might still be safe. In this era, even under the feet of the emperor, a weak woman alone outside was in danger. The fact that Mayanzhu was safe and sound was the best news for the Wuya family.

In fact, it was not that Malu was cruel. It was just that there was no war during the Qing Dynasty, but the public security was far from the level where people could leave their doors unlocked at night and no one would steal anything. Malu should be thankful that a delicate girl like Mayanzhu was alive and well, all alone outside.

The system prompted Malu: "You can use the video to see what she is doing."

Malu thought about it and decided that there was probably no need to use this function today, so she decided to just watch it. She tapped the screen of the detector and activated the video function. A real-time picture immediately appeared in front of her: Mayanzhu was standing at the door of a simple house, struggling to carry a load of firewood to a shed. Although her movements were clumsy, there was no panic on her face, and there were no scars on her exposed parts.

Seeing this scene, Malu's worries dissipated a little. It seemed that Mayanzhu was not only safe, but also learned to be self-reliant. Was this perhaps a blessing in disguise? Malu decided to observe for a while, while thinking about how to arrange the next step.

She would definitely ask Ecan to send someone to pick up Mayanzhu, but before that, she wanted to understand Mayanzhu's living conditions in the village and see what was going on. Malu continued to look at Mayanzhu in the picture, with mixed feelings in her heart. Although Ecan was the head of the imperial kitchen and had good cooking skills, cooking was not a skill that could be performed in a formal hall, so Mayanzhu never went into the kitchen, and truly achieved the same as other noble ladies, without getting involved in the daily life.

I didn't expect that now she would even have to start by chopping wood and making the watery rice porridge. After she lit the stove with dead branches and leaves, she sat down to pick vegetables. She said she was picking, but in fact she only picked off the rotten and worm-eaten pieces of wild vegetables, and she was reluctant to waste too much.

After selecting the vegetables, she took a ceramic plate and put them on it. She used a few chopsticks to make a simple stand and placed the ceramic plate in the middle of the pot. She then covered the pot with the lid, apparently preparing to use the heat from the porridge to cook the vegetables. Malu watched from here, and an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart.

At this time, the fire was much smaller, and she took out a handful of dead branches and rotten leaves and stuffed them into the stove. The burning black smoke choked her and made her cough and tears flow. At this time, there was a sound of a door opening outside the yard, and from the footsteps it was a man.

Malu was so nervous watching the video, who is this?

On the contrary, in the picture, Mayanzhu smiled after hearing the footsteps, quickly washed her face with water, wiped it with her sleeves, and tidied her hair before going out to meet the man. The joy and expectation in her actions were beyond words.

Malu's nervous mood relaxed a little. It seemed that this man might be the key friend that Mayanzhu left in the village. She was curious and decided to continue observing to see who this man was.

As Mayanju walked out of the house, Malu saw the man. He was dressed simply, had a simple face, and was carrying some vegetables and daily necessities in his hands. He looked like he had just returned from the market. Mayanju went forward and the two talked for a few words. The man handed the things to Mayanju and then went into the house together.

Malu quickly asked the system to give the man a close-up shot. The system naturally did so. Malu took a look and the first impression of this rural man was that he was plain and simple. His face was square, his eyebrows were thick, and his eyes, though small, revealed a clear and honest light. There were also many fine lines and sun spots at the corners of his eyes. His nose was straight and his lips were slightly chapped. It was obvious that he had worked in the fields for a long time, exposed to the wind and sun.

Moreover, Malu noticed that whenever he saw Mayanzhu, there would always be a smile on his face, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes would relax, with a kind of joy that came from the heart.

System: "Ah - what is this? Your sister found a lover for herself?"

Malu scratched his head and said, "It seems that way. She seems to be living a happy life. Do you want to take her back?"

System: "How can you tell that they are happy when their conditions are so poor!"

Malu laughed at the system: "You said you are smart. Happiness is related to economic conditions, but you see she is actually not in any danger at all. This man doesn't seem to restrict her freedom. She has no intention of going home at all."

If I rashly let Ecan take her back, will she commit suicide again?

Malu thought about this and didn't know what to do. But she didn't expect that the two people in the video had already started eating each other? ? ? She seemed to have seen something eye-catching, so she quickly turned off the video and drank a sip of water on the table to calm herself down.

Ah——I’m going to get a stye——What’s wrong with Mayanzhu? In broad daylight——

Malu screamed in her heart, so loud that the system wanted to cover its electronic ears.

System: "You are right. They are in love and are very happy eating wild vegetables. If you ask E-chan to pick her up, she may not want to go back."

Malu tried to get rid of the image of his sister and brother-in-law in his head: "It's really unexpected. Mayanzhu is so ambitious. I didn't expect that she would be willing to commit herself to a country boy."

The system calmed down at this time: "If...if this man can treat her well for the rest of his life, be loyal to her, and put her first in everything, maybe this is what she wants."

Malu thought about herself and calculated the time. She thought Kangxi was probably hugging Huipin right now.
