Traveling through time and space to become a concubine: I just want to live a leisurely life

Two days later, they had entered Cangzhou and should be able to enter the city tomorrow.

At noon that day, when everyone was cooking and resting, the people who had gone into the mountains to hunt came back, carrying back a pale and thin woman.

"Feng Xiaoliu, how did you carry someone back?" someone asked curiously.

"I'll tell you later, have you seen the prince?"

"The prince and the concubine are over there."

Feng Xiaoliu ran in the direction the man pointed.

From a distance, I could see the prince holding a wreath in his hand and carefully putting it on the concubine's head.

It seemed that he came at the wrong time.

But by this time the concubine had already seen him, so he had to bite the bullet and go forward.

King Xuan was concentrating on arranging the wreaths. He didn't even raise his head and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

“The prince and his concubine’s subordinates went into the mountains to hunt and rescued a woman who had hanged herself.

Seeing that she was still breathing, they brought her back. "

"I understand. Go find Qiuju and ask her to go over and take a look," King Xuan ordered.

"Yes."

After Feng Xiaoliu left, Shen Jingyi also took King Xuan back.

"Let's go and have a look together."

King Xuan smiled and he knew it.

"it is good."

When the two arrived.

Qiu Ju was carefully feeling the woman's pulse.

Then he gave a shocking answer: "This person should be only in his twenties."

After hearing this, the people present all showed expressions of pity.

There is only one possibility for a woman in her twenties to look that old.

This is because this woman has been working hard, being oppressed, and not having enough to eat.

Qiuju put a small bottle under the woman's nose and let her smell it.

The woman woke up instantly.

She was visibly startled to see a large group of people surrounding her.

Upon seeing this, King Xuan waved his hand and asked the extra people to go away.

Only Feng Xiaoliu, Nanny Qin, Qiu Ju, Prince Xuan and Shen Jingyi were left.

Feng Xiaoliu brought the person back on his own initiative, so he had to be responsible for the aftermath and did not dare to leave.

The woman was very timid. When she saw that there were fewer people around, she stammered, "Did...did you save me? Why did you save me?"

As he spoke, tears couldn't stop flowing.

Seeing this, Nanny Qin handed over a handkerchief and said softly, "There is nothing more precious than being alive.

Since you are not afraid of death, what else are you afraid of?"

Her words were full of concern and comfort.

The woman wiped away her tears, her voice full of endless fatigue: “But, I’m really tired of living.

I get up earlier than the chicken and sleep later than the dog every day.

Whenever my husband and mother-in-law are unhappy, they will beat me.

Yesterday they sold my five-year-old daughter to support my uncle’s education.

After I found out about this, I went there overnight, but the broker said that he had bought the person and that if I wanted to redeem him, I had to pay fifteen taels of silver.

But I don’t have any money…”

After hearing this, Shen Jingyi asked solemnly, "So, that's why you want to commit suicide?"

The woman nodded, her eyes full of despair: "I feel that living is too difficult."

Her voice was weak and feeble, as if she had lost all hope in life.

Shen Jingyi took a deep breath and his tone became firm: "Have you ever thought that you have your own reasons for being so miserable?

You are weak and cannot stand on your own feet, and you have caused your daughter to suffer with you.

Your tolerance makes them more and more arrogant, and they take you less and less seriously. "

Tears welled up in the woman's eyes again, and she choked up and said, "But... I have never given birth to a son for their family... This is my fault!"

Shen Jingyi frowned and asked in confusion: "So? Are you feeling guilty because of this?

Have you ever thought that your inability to have children may not be your problem, but your man's problem? "

The woman was stunned; she had never thought of this possibility.

She had always thought that her infertility was her fault, but after hearing what this lady said, she began to doubt her own thoughts.

Shen Jingyi's words were like a ray of light shining into the darkness in her heart.

Yes, she had no problem giving birth to Xiaoyue.

Is that really his man's problem? Then when did the problem arise?

She lowered her head and thought,

Suddenly, she remembered that when Xiaoyue was half a year old, he had a fight with someone in the city.

After coming back, she stayed in bed for two days and said that the area was a little painful, but her mother-in-law refused to give her money to see a doctor.

After lying down for two days, he recovered and the matter was over. Was it at that time?

She raised her head, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and then dimmed.

"But I couldn't beat them, and now I have no daughter."

Shen Jingyi continued to persuade: "Have you ever heard a saying that people are afraid of ruthless people, and ruthless people are afraid of people who don't care about their lives.

Since you don’t even want your life, what are you afraid of!

You have the courage to give up your life, why don't you try to resist and fight for your dignity and interests? "

A trace of confusion and shame appeared on the woman's face, and she lowered her head, as if thinking about Shen Jingyi's words.

Shen Jingyi's words were like a sharp sword, piercing through the fog in her heart and making her re-examine her situation.

She slowly raised her head, with a faint but resolute light in her eyes, and her voice was low but full of determination and resoluteness: "I know, I can't go on like this.

I can't let them oppress me any longer.

It’s her uncle’s family’s business if he wants to go to school. Why should he sell my daughter?

Why do I have to do everything at home and outside by myself?

They are like termites. If I don't live well, they won't live well either. The worst that can happen is that we will perish together."

Shen Jingyi nodded with satisfaction and said encouragingly, "Very good. There is a saying that if you are not ruthless, you cannot stand firm.

Remember, when anyone is oppressed, the only way to change is through real resistance.

It may be hard, but at least you’ve started.”

Nanny Qin also interrupted at this time: "Since you have made up your mind, you must be prepared.

Don't put your hopes on others, you are the one you can rely on the most.

Others can give you some help, but it is you who can really change your life.”

"thank you all."

As the woman spoke, she knelt down in front of several people and kowtowed heavily.

It was too late for everyone to stop it.

"Thank you for saving me."

It also gave me direction and light in life.

There was no more confusion and deadness in the woman's eyes now, instead there was strength and fighting spirit.

Shen Jingyi felt very relieved that this was someone who listened to advice.

So she told the nanny beside her: "Mammy, take her to dinner! After dinner, give her twenty taels of silver and let her redeem her daughter."

Nanny Qin smiled. Her master was too kind. She had guessed that this would be the outcome.

But he still replied respectfully: "Yes, ma'am."

The woman was overjoyed and thanked him again, "Thank you, ma'am."

She was so excited that she wanted to kneel down again, but this time she was stopped in time by Nanny Qin.

"Come with me, you must be hungry, right? Let's go eat here."

Nanny Qin led the woman towards the cooking area.

After they left, Shen Jingyi called Feng Xiaoliu.

"You go to the broker with her later." Shen Jingyi instructed.

"Yes, concubine." Feng Xiaoliu answered respectfully.

Qiu Ju watched the whole process from the side, and was a little confused and couldn't help asking curiously: "Concubine, do you think that woman is lying?"

Shen Jingyi shook her head and explained, "No, I just felt that the dealer was dishonest and asked for an exorbitant price, so I asked someone to verify it to scare him."

Qiuju also reacted after hearing what Shen Jingyi said.

"Indeed, if the woman went alone, the man might raise the price again.

Fifteen taels of silver to sell a five-year-old girl, I think she must be a black-hearted person, not a decent pimp."

Seeing that the two were about to curse at each other, King Xuan quickly stepped forward and took Shen Jingyi away.

"Yier, did you forget that we should have dinner?"
