Zhong Yanhua had cried enough and continued to tell her story.

When she was panicked and helpless, the door opened, and Qin Rui and his mother-in-law walked in. They slapped her hard on the face several times, saying that she was unfaithful to her husband and had an affair with someone else. They wanted to put her in a pig cage and drown her and her daughter together.

Zhong Yanhua was scared. She didn't think her death was a pity, but her daughter was still so young, and she couldn't bear to let her go.

She knelt on the ground and begged them desperately. After a long time, the Qin family finally agreed to her request, but with one condition: from then on, she had to devote herself to Qin Zhongwu.

No one could understand Zhong Yanhua's despair at that time. She wanted to ask for help but couldn't open her mouth. When she returned to her parents' home and faced her parents' questions, she didn't dare to say a word. If she said anything, her parents' reputation would be ruined, and how would her younger brothers and sisters get married? She could only swallow it all silently.

From then on, Qin Rui never touched her again. He took two concubines and lived with them.

Zhong Yanhua lived her life day by day like a numb living dead. Only when she was with her daughter did she feel like a living person.

Zhong Yanhua lowered her head and cried loudly. Her thin shoulders could not support her head, and she looked like a desperate and wailing wild goose.

Zhao Yuanqing sighed. In this world, women are sometimes not human beings, but just objects. They can be bought and sold, pawned, given away, enslaved, and even eaten when there is no food.

In the Qing Dynasty, it was not uncommon for a man to give his wife and daughter to his superiors in exchange for an official position. However, it was rare for a grandson to give his wife to his grandfather, as happened in the Qin family. After all, most people could not accept it.

"Why would Qin Rui do this? What good will it do him?"

Zhong Yanhua wiped her tears and said, "There will be money. Qin Zhongwu will give him many benefits. Qin Zhongwu is very rich."

She pulled out a pendant from her neck and said, "Princess, please look at this. Qin Zhongwu gave it to me. He insisted that I wear it. He gave me several things like this."

Meng Jiu took it, checked it, and handed it to Zhao Yuanqing.

This is a piece of full green jade, smooth and oily, half a finger thick, made into a square pendant and tied with a gold chain.

Zhao Yuanqing knew what was good. This kind of jadeite would cost at least five hundred gold coins outside. Qin Zhongwu was unemployed at home, and Qin Qihai was just a fourth-rank Taifu Shaoqing. He had to support such a large family, so how could he have the money to buy this?

"Does the Qin family have a lot of things like this?"

Zhong Yanhua nodded, then shook her head. "No, it's not that the Qin family has a lot, it's that Qin Zhongwu has a lot. He gave me some, and also gave a lot to Qin Rui. I think he also bought him a shop, a farm, and a lot of gold and silver."

"Is Qin Zhongwu so rich? I remember the Qin family didn't have much property. Even if you have money, you might not be able to buy these things. Where does he get so much money?"

Zhong Yanhua was also puzzled, "I don't know, there's nothing in his room, and every time he gives something to someone, I don't know where he gets it from.

I once heard Qin Rui and his father say that Qin Zhongwu might have a treasure, but they didn't know where it was hidden. They guessed it was under Qin Zhongwu's house.

Treasure? Is there such a thing? If it were real, the Qin family would have found it long ago. How could they continue to be constrained by Qin Zhongwu?

Zhao Yuanqing was deep in thought, and suddenly it dawned on him that there might really be a treasure, but it was not under the house, but in Qin Zhongwu's hands. Could it be his rings?

Since there are divine objects like the Dragon God Orb and the little wooden man, ring-shaped treasures should also exist, right?

It seems that this is Qin Zhongwu's method of controlling the Qin family. Money can make anything happen. If he has a treasure, it would be no problem for him to take down all the members of the Qin family.

"Besides you, who else in the Qin family was affected?"

"And my two younger brothers and sisters-in-law, both of whom are the wives of illegitimate sons, are different from me. They think Qin Zhongwu is generous and it's not bad to follow him, so they just follow him."

Zhao Yuanqing nodded. "I know about your grievances. How do you want me to save you?"

"I want to divorce Qin Rui. I beg the princess to let me leave the Qin family. I never want to go back to that place and never see them again!"

"Just a divorce is too easy for them. What do you think of being widowed?"

Zhong Yanhua was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously, "It's good to be widowed, it's good to be widowed!"

"But this matter still requires your cooperation."

"Princess, please tell me. I will never refuse, even if it means death."

Zhao Yuanqing went into the inner room and took out a small bag of wheat flour from the drawer. She came up with this idea after she learned about Qin Zhongwu's bad behavior.

This is the wheat grown by the wooden man and the wooden cow, which is ground into flour. After this flour is made into pasta, people will turn into donkeys if they eat it.

Zhao Yuanqing planned to turn Qin Zhongwu into a donkey today.

She handed the bag to Zhong Yanhua and said, "Take this wheat flour back, make food out of it, and have Qin Zhongwu eat it. Then you don't have to worry about it anymore."

"Okay, Princess, please don't worry about this. Qin Zhongwu's fiftieth birthday is coming up in a few days. I'll make him a bowl of longevity noodles, and he'll definitely not refuse."

"Remember, you must use this flour, and don't eat the food you make yourself."

"I remember."

Meng Jiu and the others sent Zhong Yanhua back. Zhong Yanhua hugged her daughter's little body, buried her face in her body, breathed in her milky scent, and murmured,

"Niuniu, we're going to be rescued soon. Mommy will be able to take you away from here soon!"

A few days later, Qin Zhongwu's birthday was approaching. Zhong Yanhua started preparing on the night before. She quietly went to the kitchen and made a bowl of longevity noodles with the flour given by Zhao Yuanqing.

It was already past midnight, and it was Qin Zhongwu's birthday. It was the first time we went to congratulate him on his birthday. He must be very happy and would definitely eat this noodle.

Zhong Yanhua brought the noodles to Qin Zhongwu's room. Qin Zhongwu was indeed very happy. It was the middle of the night and he was indeed a little hungry. This bowl of noodles came at the right time. He ate all the noodles in just a few bites.

Zhong Yanhua watched tremblingly from the side. Can the flour given by the princess help her get revenge?

After finishing the noodles, Qin Zhongwu wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "Well done, Yanhua, you are thoughtful."

Zhong Yanhua was disappointed. She nodded perfunctorily, "As long as the old man likes it."

"I like it, I like it...Ah-ah-ah-ah!"

Zhong Yanhua took a few steps back in fear. Oh my God, I saw a ghost! No, I saw a monster!

A strange thing happened. Qin Zhongwu fell to the ground, his limbs turned into hooves, and black hair grew on his body. He shouted to the sky a few times, his head became longer, his ears became bigger, and then he turned into a black donkey!

Zhong Yanhua screamed and immediately covered her mouth. Qin Zhongwu turned into a donkey. Is this the method the princess said?

She was so scared that she hid in the corner and didn't dare to get close. Qin Zhongwu had just turned into a donkey and still retained human consciousness. He struggled a few times to stand up, but failed.

He cursed loudly, "Zhong Yanhua, you bitch, you actually hurt me!"

But unfortunately, he could only make a donkey sound like "uh ah uh ah".

Qin Zhongwu was so scared that he was about to die. His donkey face was filled with human-like expressions of fear, and tears welled up in his big donkey eyes. He had turned into a donkey!

He lowered his head and saw several rings scattered on the ground. He stretched out his donkey hoof to search for them, but couldn't get any of them. It was over, his treasure!

Just as the man and the donkey were panicking, the door opened and Zhao Yuanqing walked in with his men.

Seeing them, Qin Zhongwu's donkey brayed even louder, "Uh-ah-ah!"

Did you harm me?!

Zhao Yuanqing said coldly, "It's so noisy."

Meng Jiu walked over and hit Qin Zhongwu on the donkey's head with a stick. Qin Zhongwu rolled his eyes and fainted.
