It is the time when the clouds stop raining

Yun Shu looked at Qiu Ying without saying anything and continued, "I will kill your family when I get back."

Qiu Ying's expression changed slightly: "Miss, you won't do that. You are not that cruel. Please let them go because I don't really want to kill you."

Yun Shu was puzzled: "They were happy every day in the capital. Even when the news of your death came back, Xie Qingyun gave them money, but they didn't even ask where you were buried."

Yun Shu felt sorry for Qiu Ying. What could they do with a family like that?

Qiu Ying said, "Miss, Qiu Ying is already dead. No matter what they did, they gave birth to me and raised me, so I have repaid them."

Whenever she felt overwhelmed here, she would think of her mother holding her in her arms and singing nursery rhymes in front of the window when she was a child.

Never go back.

She told Yunshu everything.

Yun Shu burst into tears after hearing Qiu Ying's words.

The general meaning of what Qiuying said is as follows.

Women are born with a lowly fate. Miss, you have been born into a life of luxury, so of course you don’t understand what children from ordinary families go through since childhood. But although I have a lowly fate, I have never accepted it. I work harder than anyone else in the Marquis’ Mansion and always do the most work.

Everyone said that I was beautiful and could marry into a wealthy family as a concubine, but I didn't want to be a concubine. I wanted to be the wife of an ordinary man, either making tofu or setting up a stall together. But everything changed.

Miss Qingyun thought I was pretty, and at that time I really thought I had gained her approval, so I worked even harder. Miss Qingyun would give me the jewelry and clothes she didn't want anymore. I was so happy at that time, so I worked even harder to take care of Miss Qingyun's daily life.

But, she was just attracted by my beauty and wanted to send me to Red Maple Ridge.

Last year, when we returned to Yuanyang County, we passed by this place. She pushed me into the fire pit with her own hands, and I could only let them tear my clothes and enter my body. I thought it would only take a day or two, and it would be ok to protect Miss Qingyun from the disaster.

She left me behind with her own hands, how could I be so naive? It wasn't just a day or two, but more than a year.

When she left, she said that if I committed suicide, she would kill my family. This year, she used the same method to try to trick you in. Fortunately, Miss Yunshu, you are blessed with a long life.

I heard that you had the plague, and I was happy for you. You wouldn't have to serve these demons, and you could die innocently. So I instigated the boss to burn you to death, hoping to free you.

I was also happy that you appeared in front of me intact. At this moment, I was afraid that there were other confidants of Xie Qingyun in this village, and if they saw that I didn't take action, they would hurt my family again, so I stabbed you again.

I am sorry.

Just like you said, this year I also followed the boss to burn, kill and loot, and killed many people. How could I have gone astray? I just wanted to pretend to let Xie Qingyun know that I had done what she asked. It's just that you, Miss, are lucky and survived.

After hearing this, Yun Shu felt very sympathetic towards Qiu Ying. She could forgive Qiu Ying for hurting herself, but she had also hurt many innocent people in the village, and she could not forgive Qiu Ying on behalf of these people.

Yun Shu said, "Where is the letter Xie Qingyun wrote to you?"

Qiu Ying said: "She wrote the letter using a secret method. You have to light it up to see the words clearly."

After the fire, the paper was also burned.

Yun Shu was about to explain when she saw Xiao Maizi leading a little girl over. The girl hugged Qiu Ying and cried, then knelt in front of Yun Shu and said, "Miss, please let Qiu Ying go. I kowtow to you."

The child named Xiaoxiao looked only twelve or thirteen years old. Xiaomaizi said, "If it weren't for Qiuying's protection, Xiaoxiao would have died here a long time ago."

Xiao Xiao also nodded and said, "Sister Qingyun had no choice but to kill. She was forced by that devil. Please let her go. If there is a good life, who would not want to live in the sun? Instead of being a rat in the gutter every day."

What did Xiaoxiao experience in Hongfeng Ridge that made her able to say such words?

Who doesn’t want to stand in the light and be a hero?

But where is the place that is truly full of sunshine? There is definitely no such place in this mountain village.

Qiu Ying said: "Xiao Xiao, hide your identity and live a good life after you get out."

Xiaoxiao said: "Miss, please, my life was given by Sister Qiuying, I am willing to die for Sister Qiuying." Qiuying was the only person in this village who taught her how to survive, how to please men and how to survive.

She is a grateful person and is willing to die in place of Qiuying.

Yun Shu looked at them. It turned out that there was deep sisterhood in this mountain stronghold: "Qiu Ying's crime can only be brought to the government for a verdict. I have no say in it." The government decides what crimes the people in the mountain stronghold have committed and what kind of punishment they should receive.

Then Yun Shu said to Mo Mo again, "Untie Qiu Ying and bring her to the soldiers down the mountain."

Momo escorted Qiuying to her house. Qiuying said to Xiaoxiao with tears in her eyes, "Xiaoxiao, you are still young. Find a place where no one knows you and live a good life. Burn some paper money for your sister every year. When you were a human, you didn't have enough money to spend. Your sister wants to be a rich ghost. Xiaoxiao, I'm counting on you. Remember?"

Money can make things easier anywhere.

Xiaoxiao cried, "Sister Qiuying, Xiaoxiao doesn't want to live alone. I want to be a ghost with you." This way they would no longer be lonely ghosts, and they would no longer be afraid of being bullied by others when they were together.

Qiu Ying asked Yun Shu, "Miss, can I stop and talk to Xiao Xiao?"

Yun Shu nodded. Seeing that the sky in the distance was already slightly bright, he realized that he had been in this den of thieves for a whole day and night.

Qiu Ying hugged Xiao Xiao and said, "Xiao Xiao, no matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, you must live strong. My wealthy life down there is all counting on you. Will you promise me?"

Xiaoxiao nodded and said with a choked voice: "Okay, Xiaoxiao will listen to Sister Qiuying."

Qiu Ying wiped Xiao Xiao's tears and said, "This separation is forever, please smile for me."

Xiaoxiao forced herself to force a smile, but it was more embarrassing than crying.

Qiuying also smiled happily. She could end this period with a smile.

Although her life was worthless, she managed to protect her family at the last moment, even though her family had long forgotten her.

Qiu Ying said to Mo Mo: "Thank you, let's go."

Go to the next execution ground.

At this time, all the sisters imprisoned in the back mountain came to see Qiuying off. Qiuying had always given them warmth. Even Rushuang looked at Qiuying with tears on her face. She knew how good Qiuying was to all the sisters and how she had protected many younger sisters.

She is the boss's plaything and can only do her best to give warmth to the sisters.

Qiuying looked back at everyone. She didn't expect that at the last moment of her life, it would be these sisters who had barely spoken a few words to her who would see her off.

Someone leaped with all his might, startling the little magpies on the tree and causing them to fly up. They chirped and cried, indicating that good things were about to happen.
