Let me be a concubine? I turned to someone else's arms

The dilapidated little house was dimly lit and filled with an old and decayed smell.

The woman Wu Niang sat quietly beside the bed, her hands trembling as she stroked the blood on her face. But at this moment she did not feel any pain at all, and her heart was instead filled with unspeakable joy.

For many years, the depression in her heart was like a ruthless rope, tightly strangling her heart, torturing her day after day. However, today, the rope finally loosened, making her feel unprecedented relief and joy.

Wu Niang had only met Miss Luo once, but she firmly believed that this beautiful woman was the child she had been searching for. The reason was simply her eyes - Miss Luo's eyes were exactly the same as her heartless father's!

Just this one glance brought back countless memories of the past for Wu Niang...

In the dim cabin, Wu Niang stood up with difficulty and staggered to the corner of the house. She rummaged through the sundries around her, making crackling sounds.

After some effort, she finally found a piece of red cloth at the bottom of a box. The cloth was a little old, with a lifelike tiger head embroidered on it, and it was obviously a swaddling cloth for babies.

Wu Niang gently stroked the faded red cloth swaddling cloth, and tears gradually blurred her eyes.

She seemed to see her younger self. At that time, she was also a famous singer in Jingzhou. Her singing voice was melodious and beautiful like the sound of nature. Every moment of her dance was like a flowing painting, perfectly combining elegance and strength.

Her beautiful face is like a blooming flower, so gorgeous that it makes your eyes water. Every time she performs on stage, the audience is always full, and the gentlemen listen to her singing and watch her dancing in ecstasy, and are overwhelmed by her beauty and talent.

Therefore, there have been countless admirers, and these people have been endless like a stream of carp crossing the river.

But these men who admired her were merely obsessed with her stunning beauty and wanted to redeem her to be a concubine. No one had ever truly understood her innermost thoughts and feelings.

However, fate is always full of dramatic twists. Just when she almost lost faith in love and thought her life was over, she met Zhou Lang, a son of a poor family.

Zhou Lang was quite handsome, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and his face was as handsome as jade, especially his eyes, which were deep and bright, as if they contained endless affection. Whenever Zhou Lang looked at her, Wu Niang's heart would beat faster and her face would turn red.

Zhou Lang expressed his love for Wu Niang without any reservation and made a solemn promise: "I am willing to marry you. I will never leave you and will never let you suffer any injustice in this life."

He spoke with absolute certainty, his eyes filled with sincere and intense affection.

This was the first time Wu Niang heard that someone was so determined to marry her, and that he was from a wealthy family. She couldn't help but feel touched and happy, but her reason told her that all this might just be an illusory dream and she would wake up eventually.

So she politely rejected Zhou Lang.

But Zhou Lang was not discouraged by this, but became more persistent.

He insisted on visiting Wu Niang every day, giving her various thoughtful little gifts and inviting her to go out for an outing and enjoy the scenery.

Even though Wu Niang refused repeatedly, he still persevered and demonstrated his deep affection for Wu Niang with his actions.

Day after day, Zhou Lang openly and boldly pursued and expressed his love for Wu Niang.

Gradually, Wu Niang's once cold heart began to melt, and she was finally moved by Zhou Lang's sincere emotions.

When he saw Wu Niang nodded in agreement, Zhou Lang was so happy that he danced like a child. He took out most of his savings without hesitation to save Wu Niang from her suffering.

At that time, Wu Niang was filled with joy and thought that she could finally have a warm home.

However, what she did not expect was that when she arrived at Zhou Lang's house, she found out that all this was done secretly by Zhou Lang without the knowledge of his father and brother.

After Zhou Lang's father and brother learned of Wu Niang's true identity, they were extremely determined and would never allow Wu Niang to set foot in the Zhou family's door.

The Zhou family has now fallen into decline, and there has only been one eighth-rank official in the past few generations. In this era, it is extremely difficult to enter the officialdom through selection without a strong background. Under the current election system, family background is often the primary consideration, followed by personal character and talent.

The Zhou family was worried that if Zhou Lang married a woman of slave origin, it would not only damage his reputation, but also bring disaster to his family.

They did not even agree to have a slave singer as a concubine, let alone marry her.

Therefore, they firmly opposed this marriage.

At that time, Zhou Lang was in the prime of his youth and vigor. The opposition from his family not only did not make him retreat, but instead aroused the rebelliousness and persistence in his heart.

He firmly believed that the love between him and Wu Niang was pure and beautiful, and would never be shaken by the prejudices of the world.

So, he resolutely broke with his family and eloped with Wu Niang!

Since then, they left their father and brother and bid farewell to their once affluent life. Life became extremely difficult, and the two young people suffered greatly in the face of the cruel reality, and had long lost their original ambitions.

As time went by, Wu Niang gradually realized that Zhou Lang's temper was becoming more and more violent. He would often lose his temper over trivial matters and occasionally even beat her.

The sweetness and affection of the past are long gone, and now there is only endless pain and suffering.

This kind of life lasted for more than a year, and Wu Niang became pregnant with their first child. At this time, Zhou Lang was discussing with her about going to Jiankang to find a new way out, but the arrival of the child forced this plan to be postponed.

When the doctor told Wu Niang the news of her pregnancy, Zhou Lang did not show any joy. Instead, he frowned and seemed to be lost in thought.

Wu Niang keenly noticed the impatience gradually emerging on Zhou Lang's face, but she could only pray silently in her heart, asking God to bless her that this baby must be a boy.

However, fate always seemed to like playing tricks on people. After experiencing severe pain for several hours, Wu Niang finally gave birth to the child.

When she heard the midwife say "it's born", her spirit completely collapsed and she fainted.

When she woke up again, she found that the newborn baby was gone...

Facing Wu Niang's questioning, Zhou Lang not only did not feel the slightest bit of guilt, but instead accused her coldly: "You wasted so much time just to give birth to such a useless baby girl! Look at how much time you have wasted on our trip to Jiankang. If we had known this would happen, we should not have kept this child in the first place!"
