Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

How did the painting screen appear here?

Ignoring the pain in her knee, Cai Qing quickly ran a few steps, trying to determine more clearly whether the smiling woman was Huaping.

If the painting screen can be here, then, the lady should be here too.

Cai Qing felt a surge of joy in her heart and she stumbled into the crowd, but when it came to food, who cared that she was a poor woman?

"Hey, why are you pushing so hard? Go line up at the back!"

Cai Qing fell to the ground lightly after being pushed by someone. The sharp stone cut her palm, but she felt nothing and got up to look around.

There was a familiar-looking carriage parked on the roadside not far away. Cai Qing smelled the fragrance of steamed buns in the air, stepped out of the crowd, and walked towards the carriage.

"Madam, Cai Qing is here!" Qi Dalu, who was guarding outside the carriage, turned his head and reported back to the carriage.

"Well, let her come over." Gu Li held the heater in her arms, stretched out only one finger, and poked a small corner of the car curtain. The cold wind in late winter was like a knife scraping at the bones. Gu Li shivered from the cold, and quickly put it down, shrinking back.

Hong Shi, who was sitting next to her, knew that Gu Li was most afraid of the cold, so she said, "Madam, Hong Shi will take care of anything for you. You should go back to the inn in town and rest."

Gu Li smiled awkwardly, "I just wanted to come and take a look." The sooner the Great Wall can be completed, the sooner the soldiers on the border will have an extra barrier to defend against foreign enemies!

Cai Qing finally walked to the front of the carriage and knelt on the ground with a plop. "Little, Madam Jiang, is that you? I am, I am Cai Qing. I can't find Fan Xiliang. Fan Xiliang is dead-------"

Gu Li was too lazy to listen to the nonsense, so she knocked on the car wall and said calmly: "You are too noisy!"

Cai Qing choked with sobs and exaggerated her miserable experience along the way as she told the young lady.

"Mrs. Jiang, does the indenture you promised me still count?"

"I said that your indenture was given to you as a gift when you two got married."

"Miss, but, but Fan Lang is dead!"

Qi Dalu, who had been following behind him all the way, muttered in a low voice with some dissatisfaction: "Then you will become a pair of ghost mandarin ducks with him."

Cai Qing’s crying stopped.

Gu Li was also stunned by Qi Dalu's words. Qi Dalu really predicted the ending.

What Gu Li didn't expect was that Cai Qing didn't want to be buried alive with Fan Xiliang. She cried and kowtowed to Gu Li, "Miss, Miss, Cai Qing doesn't want to die yet. I can go back with you and be your slave."

Gu Li:-----

How is this different from the legend?

Huaping came back from distributing steamed buns and just happened to hear Caiqing's words. She put her hands on her hips and retorted disdainfully: "You are worthy of being our lady's slave? You are so dirty. Don't dirty our carriage!"

After saying that, he did not enter the carriage, but stood aside and stared at her to prevent her from reaching out and touching the Jiang family's carriage.

"Even if our wife gave you your indenture, would you dare to accept it? Do you know that your reputation as a Cai Qing has already been rotten to the ground here?"

Cai Qing shuddered. Yes, even if she got her indenture, she didn't dare take it to the government office to have her slavery removed. Once people here knew her name, she was worried that her life would be in danger.

Gu Li was so cold that she lifted the curtain a little bit and said, "Go back. Don't you call yourself Fan Xiliang's wife? If he's dead, you won't have to stay by his side for a few days, right?"

She hadn't even cried for ten days and ten nights yet, so why did she want to leave? Was her love with Fan Xiliang so fragile?

Isn’t it said that Meng Jiangnu cried for ten days and ten nights while searching for her husband, and even cried down the Great Wall before she finally found Fan Xiliang’s remains?

The time has not come yet.

"Mrs. Jiang~"

Gu Li ignored him and ordered, "Dalu, let's go!"

"Okay!" After Huaping got on the carriage, Qi Dalu jumped on the shaft, without even looking at the woman kneeling on the ground. He flicked the reins and drove the carriage away with a sound of "go".

The raised dust covered Cai Qing's head and face, making the tear marks on her face dirty, and making the increasingly obvious resentful expression on her face even uglier.

In the carriage, Huaping poured a cup of hot tea for Gu Li, "Madam, are we going to come here again tomorrow?"

"Come."

"It's so cold outside, let me and Sister Hongshi deliver the steamed buns tomorrow. Madam, you should stay in the inn."

Gu Li thought about the half-conceived new picture book of Human-Fox Love and nodded, "Then let Dalu escort you two here tomorrow."

The young man wearing thick winter clothes outside responded loudly, and the carriage rustled past in the cold winter wind.

Cai Qing returned to the foot of the city wall again, trying hard to think about what the young lady had just said.

Did she have to mourn for Fan Xiliang? If that would forgive her, then she would do it. She had no other way out now, and she didn't dare to let anyone know that her name was Cai Qing.

She was afraid that the reckless men here would treat her like General Xiao in the story if they knew about it.

Not knowing what she was thinking about, Cai Qing started to sob again. She couldn't understand why her once wonderful life had turned into a miserable one now.

She obviously has a gentle and kind master, a comfortable and leisurely identity as a personal maid, and a son in her hometown who is looking forward to her return home day and night.

If she had not wanted so much at the beginning, but had been content to save money for a few years to redeem herself, would she be living like this now?

Cai Qing didn’t know.

She just knew that nothing could go back.

Cai Qing kept crying and sobbing. The convicts, who were used to seeing such scenes, gradually became numb to it and even felt that crying all day long was unlucky.

Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling sound in the mountains, the earth shook and a strong wind blew.

On the dull construction site, the laborers were running around, their screams carried by the strong wind.

"Oh no! The earth dragon is turning over. Everyone, run!"

"Help!"

Cai Qing, who had no time to run, only felt a flash before her eyes. The blue brick wall that she had leaned against to avoid the wind and snow suddenly collapsed, leaving a large pit in front of her. She could vaguely see white bones in the dirty mud.

Cai Qing shivered and fell softly to the ground.

I don’t know if he was frightened by the chaos of the earth dragon turning over, or by the nameless bones in the pit.

Cai Qing was not unconscious for long before someone pinched her philtrum and woke her up. She looked around in a daze, and the earth dragon had stopped turning over without her knowing. There was still a group of people around her, staring at her with unfriendly expressions.

Heading the group was the officer in charge of managing this area of ​​hard labor.

"It's all your fault, you unlucky woman. You keep crying here every day, and you must have annoyed the land god here. Look, the Great Wall has collapsed because of your crying."

The officer said viciously, still not feeling relieved, he swung the whip in his hand twice and pointed at the deep pit, "Aren't you looking for your husband Fan Xiliang? Then go down and look for him now. Even the God of Land is helping you!"

Cai Qing forgot to even cry and shrank back in fear.
