The prince wanted to die, and the doctor raised her hand and slapped him

Chapter 355 The daughter of the Xi family

Bing'er's eyes sparkled with excitement, and her features brightened up. "That's great, Fu Cui, congratulations."

"Congratulations to us!"

Fu Cui took out two indentures from her purse and handed one to Bing'er, "I've bought your indenture as well."

After receiving the contract of sale, Bing'er immediately recognized the red fingerprint engraved deep in her mind. It was the fingerprint that her father had left when he sold her to the brothel owner.

"Really...it's really my indenture..."

Her father sold her for nine taels of silver, and these nine taels of silver trapped her for twelve years.

Now it's finally over.

Bing'er's hands were shaking and she burst into tears, "Fu Cui, thank you. I'll give you the money..."

"You look down on me when you say that. If you hadn't begged Princess Yu, I wouldn't be able to..."

Halfway through her words, Fu Cui remembered that Bing'er had lost an eye and was now seriously injured, and her heart ached.

Bing'er raised her intact left hand and gently wiped away her tears. "I'm fine, right? I'm lucky to be alive..."

Fu Cui took her hand and placed it on the side of her face, encouraging her: "You are the only one I can rely on. You must get better."

Bing'er was deeply moved, but a realistic question was placed before her, "You are already a free man, so why don't you go home?"

"I went to a brothel once, and they just thought I was dirty and tarnished their reputation," Fu Cui sneered, "I won't let them sell me a second time."

Bing'er asked anxiously, "The palace is not a place to stay for long. How are you going to live in the future?"

"Princess Yu changed the Qunfang Pavilion into an embroidery workshop to accommodate us. I will be working in the embroidery workshop from now on."

"Don't you know how to embroider?"

Fu Cui's parents were tenant farmers and had no ability to teach her embroidery. Even after she entered the Qunfang Pavilion, she had no chance to learn it.

"Don't worry about it. Have you forgotten Yan'er? She was sold here because her brother lost all his family fortune. When she was young and her family was still well-off, she learned embroidery."

Fu Cui smiled sincerely, "She also stayed in the embroidery workshop and is willing to teach us."

"And I heard that Princess Yu didn't like the current furnishings in Qunfang Pavilion, so she sent someone to re-arrange it. It will take a month or two to finish."

"I may not be able to learn complicated embroidery in the next one or two months, but is it possible that I cannot learn to embroider a simple handkerchief or make a lace?"

"My savings can be used for two or three years if I save them. It will be hard at first, but I earn my living with my own hands, which is more comfortable than fawning over men before."

Fu Cui chattered on and on about her plans for the future, and Bing'er listened attentively, the mist in her eyes dissipating little by little.

She suddenly didn't want to die anymore, she wanted to live.

Even if your appearance is defective, you must live on.

-

Hibiscus Courtyard.

In the early morning, the sky was slightly bright and drizzled.

After a day of rest yesterday, it was Emei Nv's turn to teach Su Yinyue martial arts today.

She used a light and agile style of martial arts, and had people set up plum blossom piles of different heights.

At this moment, she was sitting in the corridor, drinking tea, grabbing stones on the table and attacking Su Yinyue who was standing on the plum blossom pile from different directions.

A servant hurriedly walked up to Huamei and whispered something to her.

The eyebrowed woman noticed this incident and asked slowly, "Is there something wrong, Princess?"

Huamei shook her head at her, "Yes, but it's not very important. Princess, it's more important to practice martial arts."

The Emei girl's eyes flickered, and she asked curiously, "Yesterday I met Hua Pipa returning to her room. Her cheeks were red, and she looked like she had been beaten."

"Didn't she go out for fun with the princess? Did something happen to her?"

Huamei replied respectfully, "I met some ignorant people, and the princess has already taught them a lesson."

The eyebrow-bearing girl raised her eyebrows. Is this saying that Hua Pipa is blind?

She was curious, "Was the slap mark on Hua Pipa's face from the princess? What did she do to make the princess so angry?"

Huamei did not answer, but said to the maid standing by the side: "Master Mei, there are not many stones on the table. Go and add some."

"Yes."

The maid got the order and left.

After this interruption, the eyebrowed woman understood and stopped asking questions.

Su Yinyue stepped on the plum blossom pile for the whole morning. When she took a break at noon, her clothes were soaked by rain and sweat.

After taking a shower and changing into dry clothes, I came out of the inner room. Huamei and Ye Qingye Bai were already waiting in the outer room.

Huamei spoke first, "Princess, last night Haidongqing and his four companions failed in their night raid on Tu's residence and were injured."

"Aren't Haidongqing, Black Kite, and Golden Eagle the three with the highest martial arts skills among the Bird Spy? Is that so?" Su Yinyue was slightly surprised, "Ying Qiong's training of talents is a bit watered down."

The princess had finally asked them to do something, but they messed it up, and Huamei felt ashamed.

She coughed twice, "...Hai Dongqing said that Tu Feizhang hid some experts in the mansion, and they were discovered as soon as they entered."

"In order to avoid being caught, I had no choice but to run away. And because my martial arts skills had not fully recovered, I got injured..."

Su Yinyue asked them to take good care of their injuries, then looked at Ye Qing and Ye Bai, "What did you find out?"

Ye Bai said with a grin, "Huamei, I may know why Tu Feizhang would hide a master in his house."

"He was afraid that Hua Pipa would go to Tu's house in the middle of the night to kill him."

Huamei's eyes lit up, "Hua Pipa and Tu Feizhang really did have an old relationship, how did you find out?"

"That's easy. Just ask the people from the Salt and Iron Bureau and you'll know."

The Salt and Iron Administration was extremely wealthy, and officials from all levels could afford to hire people with good martial arts skills as bodyguards.

Tu Feizhang's father-in-law is the head of the Salt and Iron Bureau, and he can hire the most experts.

Therefore, if you want to know about Tu Feizhang, the best way is not to visit Tu’s house at night, but to use your connections to inquire from his colleagues.

Hai Dongqing and his companions had no connections in the officialdom, so the result of their attempt to force their way in was that they were chased by the guards of the Tu Mansion and had to flee for their lives.

Su Yinyue leaned back in her chair, "Ye Bai, tell me what you found out."

"This story started seven years ago," Ye Bai twisted his eyebrows and said cheerfully, "Tu Feizhang is not from the capital. He lives at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. His family makes a living by renting land from Yaochi..."

"By chance, he met Chu Yu, and they fell in love..."

Jasmine blinked and asked in confusion, "Why did Chu Yu appear again? Who is Chu Yu?"

"Surname Chu?" Su Yinyue recalled that Huamei had heard Chu Changgeng and his sister call Hua Pipa Auntie, and said, "Chu Xuan should be Hua Pipa's real name."

"The princess is right!" Ye Bai said with a beaming face, "Chu Xuan is the sister of the Great Elder of Yao Chi. She doesn't want her future husband to be a farmer, so she bought a few shops for Tu Feizhang, hoping that he would make a name for himself..."

"When Tu Feizhang was out discussing business, he met the daughter of the Xi family. Comparing the two, Chu Yu could not give Tu Feizhang fame, wealth, power and honor."

Huamei, "So Tu Feizhang fell in love with someone else and married into the Xi family?"

Jasmine curled her lips with disdain, "So he's a heartless man."

"No, no, no, there's a lot going on here," Ye Bai smiled even more. "According to what I heard, it's very likely that Tu Feizhang's acquaintance with the daughter of the Xi family was deliberately planned by her."
