Si Niang returned home and saw the familiar courtyard door. She knocked on it hesitantly.

"Who is it?"

With a creaking sound of a wooden door, a strange woman opened the door.

She asked cautiously, "Who are you?"

"Excuse me...did this family move away before?"

The woman was puzzled: "No, who are you looking for?"

"Ma'am, who's outside?"

A familiar male voice was heard, and a man approached.

After seeing her face, he was stunned for a moment, then asked uncertainly: "Sister?"

Si Niang nodded.

The woman asked in confusion, "Is this the girl you mentioned who went missing from your family and who could earn one tael of silver for embroidering a handkerchief?"

"I have corrected you so many times. It can be sold for five taels of silver, and the embroiderer can only get a small share."

The woman smiled and said, "That's a lot."

She hurriedly pulled Si Niang into the house and said, "Good sister, your skills have improved greatly now."

Si Niang turned over her hands and looked at her hands covered with calluses.

Good silk is delicate, and embroidery thread is also delicate.

The embroiderer's hands need to be soft to embroider well, at least not like hers, which are covered with calluses and can hook the threads.

"I...can't embroider anymore."

Although the woman's face did not fall, her smile was not as sincere as before.

The man asked, "Sister, where have you been?"

"Do you know how worried your parents are about you? They..."

"Where are my parents?"

The man choked up and said, "Aye was already ill. When he heard that you were missing, he was almost dead..."

"Mother was worried about you to begin with. After Father left, Mother became too sad and passed away soon after."

It turned out that when I came back, I was greeted with such bad news.

She looked at the familiar small courtyard in front of her.

This used to be her home, but after her parents passed away, this became her brother's home and is no longer hers.

Her sister-in-law didn't seem to welcome her very much, so she couldn't stay for long.

Thinking back, her biggest worry every day was what color hairband to wear when she went out.

Imagine what kind of husband her parents will arrange for her. Will their relationship be as good as that of Aye and A Niang in the future?

What will my mother cook for lunch and whether it is what she likes.

When can I go to the market to buy things again? But now it’s gone.

Those days that couldn’t be more ordinary are like beautiful dreams.

Her life was shattered from the moment she was abducted.

Now that I'm home and have repaired it, the damage won't be so complete.

Perhaps there will be other women who will return home and embrace a happy future.

There should be one, even if there is only one.

……

The censor returned to the capital to report to the emperor, and no matter how small the task was, he completed it well.

At this point, he also told an interesting story: "I originally thought that the women trapped in Yushan were eager to escape and hated the prisoners to the core."

“I didn’t expect that there was someone named Yan Niu’er who actually fell in love with them.”

"When the county magistrate led people to arrest people, Yan Niuer stubbornly stopped them from arresting her husbands. It was really strange."

"She was pregnant, and in order not to hurt the pregnant woman, the bailiffs took a lot of effort to arrest her."

Bei Jingchu sighed: [This is a psychological problem, Stockholm. In order to prevent her from breaking down, her brain forced her to "fall in love" with the person who hurt her, but this world has no way to cure her.]

[Damn it, sooner or later I will change the law of Yue to death for all human traffickers, kill them all! ]

The journey to Yushan was long, and it took the censor almost a month to go back and forth.

Congratulations, Bei Jingchu can finally eat complementary food!

Although it's just tasteless rice porridge, your mouth won't always have a milky taste.

When Bei Jingchu tasted rice again, she almost cried for joy.

Mammy swung the spoon so hard that it was about to smoke, but she still couldn't keep up with Bei Jingchu's eating speed.

The emperor frowned constantly when looking at him. Those who didn't know would think that he, the emperor's father, couldn't even feed his daughter.

As the New Year was approaching, the palace also started to prepare and replaced the eaves with big red lanterns.

But Bei Jingchu whispered in her heart: [Excuse me, I think this red light looks a little scary.]

Emperor: Then don’t say anything.

New Year is the time when families get together and it is most likely to arouse people's homesickness.

But the palace servants are an exception; they cannot go home for the New Year.

Yu Mama is one of them.

She was feeding the princess rice porridge in the side hall.

Originally, feeding rice porridge did not require any taboos like feeding milk, and His Majesty had the princess fed in the imperial study.

Unexpectedly, the princess ate so happily that His Majesty looked hungry, so he moved her to the side hall to be fed.

Bei Jingchu smacked her lips while reading gossip as an electronic pickle.

As she watched, the way she swallowed the rice porridge slowed down.

Then he stared at Nanny Yu, wanting to say something.

But the throat can only make babbling sounds.

She could only cry out in her heart: [Mammy! Your daughter, your daughter is dying! ]

Aunt Yu could hardly hold the bowl in her hand.

Her daughter...is going to die?

Wet nurses are selected from women who have just given birth and are still breastfeeding.

The ancestors must have a clean background.

After being selected into the palace, one can no longer contact the outside world, especially can no longer see one's own children. One can only devote oneself to taking care of the princes and princesses one serves as if they were one of their own children.

Unless the master grants permission, you will never be able to see your biological son again in this life.

The advantage is that they can send back home a salary every month, which is like sudden wealth to them.

Nanny Yu was one of them. She came from a poor family and was extremely happy when she was chosen to enter the palace.

Although she would never see her daughter again in this life, the silver she sent back could allow her daughter to live a rich life.

But the princess said that her daughter was going to die?

Bei Jingchu babbled and waved her hands anxiously: [Mammy, the scumbag you married took your money and found another one.]

[They said that you were the only daughter in their family, and they wanted a son to carry on the family line.]

[Then the stepmother couldn't stand your daughter, saying that you wouldn't come home anyway, and raising a little girl would waste the family's food.]

[And now they are discussing throwing her into the baby tower! ]

[Wait, what is this baby abandoned tower? ]

Bei Jingchu poked the system: [Tongzi, what is the abandoned baby tower?]

[It is a small tower where babies are abandoned. It is a short thing that looks like a tower.]

[However, due to the customs of feudal society, almost all the babies in the abandoned baby tower are girls.]

[Parents who didn't want daughters would throw their babies into foundling towers, where they would starve to death.]

[Of course, they can’t bear it even if they don’t starve to death. The abandoned baby tower will be burned regularly to facilitate cleaning and prevent the corpses from piling up so that babies can be put in next time.]

Bei Jingchu: [I ******* beep beep beep——]
