The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

"Stop! Stop!"

"How dare you?"

"what!"

Mother Qin struggled desperately, but she was no match for Mo San's strength.

"Bah! The toad wants to eat swan flesh, but he doesn't even go back to see what kind of person his son is!" Mo San showed no mercy and threw Qin's mother down the stairs.

He actually dared to covet the person his master liked. He is so ungrateful!

In the inn, Jun Lan comforted Qin's mother, "Aunt, please go up and see her. I'll take care of the rest."

"But, their, Yin'er's reputation..." Xue said worriedly.

Jun Lan said confidently, "Don't worry, auntie, they don't have the guts."

Mrs. Xue was really worried about her daughter, and since she had been delayed for so long, she went upstairs.

Upstairs, outside room number one,

Song Ruorou's right foot was wrapped in thick gauze. She leaned on the couch and played with the whip boredly.

Gu Chenshuo sat at the table and read quietly.

"Aunt, why are you here?" Song Ruorou saw Xue first and stood up on one leg.

Gu Chenshuo saw her movements and quickly stopped her, "Don't move!"

Then he looked at Xue, "Mom, why are you here?"

"What happened to you, little girl Rou? Did you sprain your foot? Come, sit down first..." Xue first walked to Song Ruorou and pushed her to sit down before answering her son, "Your sister is like this, and your father can't come. How can I stay in Ning County?"

"I'm here. My son is worried that it's too much for you to come all the way here."

"It's okay, Mom is not that weak."

When Xue entered the inner room and saw that her daughter was in good condition, she finally felt relieved.

Just as Xue was helping Gu Yin push the loose hair on her forehead aside, Gu Yin slowly opened her eyes.

"mother?"

Xue was surprised and said, "Yin'er, you're awake!"

"You've slept for so long, are you hungry? Mom will get you something to eat."

"Gurgle..." Before Gu Yin could say anything, her stomach growled first. She immediately laughed, "I'm hungry. I feel like I can eat a whole cow now!"

"You!" Xue smiled dotingly.

Gu Chenshuo said at the right time, "I have asked someone to bring up the food."

After two bowls of shredded chicken porridge, Gu Yin felt like she was alive again. She even had the energy to find the culprit and settle the score, "Where's that bastard Qin Tiancheng?"

"He was beaten with a hundred sticks by his cousin. He must be lying at home now!" Song Ruorou said gloatingly.

"One hundred strokes of the cane?" So harsh? Gu Yin's anger suddenly disappeared.

A hundred lashes will at least leave you skinned even if you don't die.

Gu Yin didn’t think that one hundred lashes were cruel. If Jun Lan hadn’t arrived in time, who knows how badly she would have suffered.

"Yes! You don't know how courageous my cousin was at that time. Even Qin Tiancheng's parents couldn't stop him..." Song Ruoruo described the scene to Gu Yin vividly.

Mrs. Xue thought of the disgusting face of Qin's mother, and felt relieved after hearing what Song Ruorou said, "This time it's really all thanks to the prince..."

Gu Yin smiled with her eyebrows curved, and then she remembered what Qin Tiancheng said, and sighed, "In fact, the person Qin Tiancheng wanted to arrest was not me, it was my bad luck that I was arrested by mistake..."

"What?" the three asked in surprise.

Gu Yin recounted Qin Tiancheng's reaction at the time, puzzled, "I was arrested on my way home from Nishang Pavilion. Since they arrested the wrong person, who did he really want to arrest?"

Jun Lan came in from outside and said, "I have sent someone to investigate this matter. We will know the truth in two days."

The next day, the group returned to Ning County.

The investigation results came out earlier than expected. "Tingxue? Why did he want to arrest Tingxue?"

"Qin Tiancheng came to Ning County to play some time ago and saw her at Tingxue Art Museum. He wanted to take her back as a concubine, but Ren Tingxue refused..." Mo San explained.

"So if the open approach doesn't work, he wants to do it covertly?"

"Yes, for a man like him who is used to bullying others, there is nothing he can't grab."

"One hundred lashes is not enough!" This kind of person should be made a eunuch!

The truth of the matter was now clear. Gu Yin was worried that Qin Tiancheng would hold a grudge and come to Ning County to make trouble again, so she asked her father to send someone to keep a close eye on him.

Under the compulsory request of Gu Huaiyi and Xue, Gu Yin had to stay at home.

However, the next day, Gu Yin welcomed an unexpected person.

"Tingxue? Why are you here?" Gu Yin asked in surprise.

They knew each other because of business matters but were not close acquaintances. This was the first time she took the initiative to visit him.

Ren Tingxue was also aware of this, "Tingxue, please forgive me for coming here to disturb you without any hesitation."

"It's not that serious. I just happened to be bored." Gu Yin waved her hand, motioning her to sit down, and asked, "What do you want to see me about?"

Unexpectedly, Tingxue knelt down directly!

"What are you doing?" Gu Yin dodged.

"Tingxue just found out that because of Tingxue, the county lady was in danger. So, Tingxue came here specially to apologize!"

"You get up first."

"Although this matter is related to you, it is not your fault. I can still tell the difference."

Tingxue felt even more guilty after hearing this, "But if I hadn't embarrassed him that day, he wouldn't have acted like this..."

"Don't think like that. Qin Tiancheng is just arrogant and lawless. Even if you do nothing, he will still harass you! It was me he caught by mistake this time, otherwise he would have succeeded."

Ren Tingxue still looked apologetic, "I'm sorry for making the county lady suffer..."

"It's just a little grievance, I don't take it to heart. Let's put this matter behind us. Remember to pay more attention to your safety in the future." It was not easy for women in ancient times to survive. They were able to get to where they are today with their talents, which made Gu Yin admire them but also feel a little distressed.

"Thank you for your concern, Lord County."

"Tingxue has another favor to ask, I hope the county lady will grant it..." As he spoke, Ren Tingxue took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve pocket and handed them to Gu Yin.

Gu Yin took it casually, "What's the matter?"

However, I was stunned when I saw the contents on the paper... a contract to sell my body?

Ren Tingxue knelt on the ground again, "Tingxue has discussed with several sisters in the hall. We all want to sell ourselves to the county lady. Please don't despise us and take us in..."

"Have you really thought it through?" Gu Yin still couldn't believe it. "Do you know what it means to sign a contract to sell yourself?"

In ancient times, once one signed a contract to sell oneself, one would be sold to the master, and their status would change from good citizen to pariah.

The untouchables have no freedom and everything is decided by their masters.

"I know." Tingxue said firmly, "But we are selling ourselves to the county lady."

After all, the county lord is different from others, and they are willing to believe her.

"Why don't you reconsider it?"

"The county lady is unwilling to take us in?" Tingxue's voice was filled with deep disappointment.

"No." Gu Yin didn't know how to explain the importance of freedom.

"Thank you, County Princess, for taking me in!" Ren Tingxue said directly.
