Quick Wear: Don't Follow the Plot and Feel Good

Chapter 83 The Queen's Maid Who Is as Gentle as a Chrysanthemum

Mo Xuelian was originally a maid in the Queen's palace. As long as she worked diligently until she turned 25, she would be able to leave the palace and marry her childhood sweetheart, and no longer have to live a life of serving others.

Who knew that the Queen and the Imperial Concubine were fighting, and Mo Xuelian was taken into the Ministry of Punishment as a witness and tortured severely.

Mo Xuelian still remembered what the Queen said at the time, "Don't worry. You are my person, from the Ministry of Punishment. No matter how cruel they are, they dare not hurt or kill you."

In fact, even if the queen didn't say it, Mo Xuelian never thought of betraying her because she knew that in the palace, those who betrayed their master would only end up dead.

The Ministry of Punishment was brutal. To prove the Empress's guilt, the Imperial Concubine orchestrated a murderous attack. Mo Xuelian was deafened by a pierced ear.

Later, because the emperor needed the queen's father to go to disaster relief, he declared the queen innocent. Mo Xuelian was able to escape from the Ministry of Punishment alive.

The queen looked at Mo Xuelian, who had no good flesh on her body, and was deeply moved. "From now on, you will be my maid. Let's name her Zhu'er."

Zhu'er, the name sounds nice. But what about other palace maids named "Gou'er" and "Yang'er"? They're just animals.

Mo Xuelian still remembered that the queen said calmly, "I call you Gou'er because I hope you can do things meticulously. I call you Yang'er because I hope you can be more cheerful."

I don’t know why the queen is so malicious towards women.

Mo Xuelian had endured so much suffering, but apart from being promoted to the position of Grand Palace Maid, she received no other reward. She only received her monthly salary, which she saved.

After finally reaching the age of 25, she was finally released from the palace and allowed to marry. The other maids who left the palace all received generous rewards from their respective queens. Only Mo Xuelian continued to receive her meager salary. No, she also received three quilts from the queen.

No matter what, I finally made it out of the palace. I don't have to worry about it anymore, Mo Xuelian thought.

Soon, she married her childhood sweetheart Fu Zihao. She opened a tailoring shop and her business was very good because of her good craftsmanship.

Such quiet days did not last long. One night, the queen suddenly fell from the sky and appeared in her room.

"Zhu'er, go and boil some hot water for me. I want to take a good bath."

Just as Mo Xuelian was about to refuse, a knife was already on her neck.

"The Empress asked you to go because she thinks highly of you. Don't be ungrateful!"

It was the imperial guard Chang Tiangou.

The queen soaked in the water with satisfaction and said with a look of contempt, "Zhu'er, once a slave, always a slave. This is your fate, you must accept it!"

If Mo Xuelian refuses to accept it, why should I admit it?

When Chang Tiangou left, she went to the town to inquire and learned that it was the Queen's father who had embezzled disaster relief funds, leaving many people homeless and displaced, with the land filled with starvation. Roughly speaking, the death toll was around 10.

The emperor was furious and wanted to execute Lord Tong and his entire family.

The empress begged the emperor to show some mercy, but the emperor refused, and the two had a big quarrel. So, in order to provoke the emperor, the empress took a drug that made her fake her death and left the palace. But she had nowhere to go outside the palace, so she thought of Mo Xuelian again.

Mo Xuelian: Damn! This is fucked!

There was a knife hanging over her head every day, and she didn't know when it would fall and leave her body completely destroyed. Mo Xuelian decided to cooperate with the imperial concubine. Even if she died, she would drag the queen to be buried with her!

The imperial concubine was a very cautious person and did not completely trust her. So she waited for a long time. Every day, she endured the queen's eye contact with Fu Zihao and her flirting with Chang Tiangou.

As for myself, I had to go to the shop to make money during the day, and serve the queen at night, enduring her constant nitpicking.

Fortunately, over a month later, the imperial concubine's men arrived. The empress and Fu Zihao were in a state of passionate lovemaking. The emperor's face turned green. In a rage, he had the empress, Fu Zihao, and Chang Tiangou torn into pieces.

At this time, Mo Xuelian had been killed by Chang Tiangou before the imperial concubine arrived.

"If I could do it again, I would never marry Fu Zihao. Let them fend for themselves!"

Ginger really likes people who can take revenge on their own and never live a miserable life, even though they didn't succeed.

"If I could go back in time, would you want to take revenge yourself?"

"I do!" Mo Xuelian answered without hesitation.

"I'll heal your injury first and let Duoduo accompany you. The time now is when you should leave the palace."

"Sister Xuelian, we can finally leave the palace. Of the people who came in with us, only the two of us are left."

In the past, when the two of them met and quarreled, it was only because they each served their own master. Now that they had left the palace, they had forgotten their grudges and laughed it off.

Mo Xuelian nodded, "Yes. Live a good life in the future and don't have to serve others anymore."

"Yeah. By the way, Sister Xuelian, when I left the palace this time, the Imperial Concubine gave me a lot of gifts. I can hardly hold them all. What about you? What did the Empress give me as a gift?"

"Three quilts?"

"No way? The Empress usually has her hair covered in pearls and hairpins. She doesn't look like she's poor, does she?"

Yes, she had money, but why would she spend it on anyone other than herself? Back then, her father, Lord Ding, had embezzled money from disaster relief, resulting in the deaths of so many people. Eventually, the refugees rioted, stormed the government office, and severely injured her father.

She also cried to the emperor, "I cannot believe that someone would be so furious over a few taels of silver. There must be other reasons. Please, Your Majesty, investigate!"

The emperor looked at her like she was mentally retarded. "Do you know what one tael of silver can do in the hands of ordinary people? One tael of silver can buy 200 dou of rice, enough to feed an ordinary family for a month!"

Seeing the empress still pouting and blinking with a look of naiveté, the emperor exploded in anger: "I'm so mad! Why am I saying all this to her?!" After so many years of her constant self-destructive behavior, the friendship between them had long since vanished.

So the emperor decided to stand up and depose the queen!

This made the queen feel that her young man had changed, so she began to fake her death, hoping to stimulate the emperor to find her and chase his wife to the crematorium. Then she ran to Mo Xuelian's house and hid.

After leaving the palace, Mo Xuelian didn't look for Fu Zihao. Instead, she rented a two-story shop in a town not far from the capital. She knew that Fu Zihao would come looking for her sooner or later. The Queen would come looking too.

But right now, I have to make money as soon as possible. Once things are done here, I'll go south.

Fu Zihao found her as expected, "Xue Lian, you left the palace, why didn't you come to see me?"

"What are you looking for?"

"Let's get married."

"Oh. I don't want to marry you. Find someone else."

Fu Zihao was anxious. "Xue Lian, what do you mean? We've been friends for over 20 years, and you're just saying you don't want to have that relationship anymore? If you were looking for someone else, would I have waited for you for so many years? Do you still have the heart?"

Mo Xuelian stopped what she was doing and looked at Fu Zihao, whose eyes were red with anxiety. His feelings at this moment were sincere. It was hard to imagine how he could betray her after meeting the old witch, the Queen.

"Fu Zihao, I'm not your favorite. You'll find her in the near future. Now, please leave and don't delay my business."

"Xuelian, what are you talking about..."

Mo Xuelian punched him, causing his nose to bleed. She pounced on him and beat him until his face was completely broken. Fu Zihao burst into tears and said, "Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, I'll just leave."

Mo Xuelian remained quiet for a few months and earned about five or six hundred taels of silver.

She not only sewed and mended clothes, but also embroidered. There was no shortage of wealthy people in the capital. They were always distressed when their beloved clothes were torn, but only she could mend them to make them look exactly like the originals, so she received a lot of tips from customers.

That night, just as she was about to go to bed, she saw a person appear in the bedroom. It was Queen Clove Mushroom.

"Zhu'er, go and boil some water for me to take a bath. I'm so tired!"

Mo Xuelian didn't move. She was waiting for Chang Tiangou to appear.

Seeing that no one moved, Ding Xianggu said unhappily, "What's the matter? Zhu'er, it's only been a short time since you left the palace, and you already don't take me seriously?"

Mo Xuelian suddenly made a move, threw the kitchen knife in her hand, and directly chopped down a figure. With a scream, one of the man's arms flew out.

It seems that no matter how good your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of a kitchen knife.

Ding Xianggu was terrified and no longer as calm as a chrysanthemum. "Zhu Er, how could you be so cruel?"

Mo Xuelian stepped forward and slapped Ding Xianggu's face, and his face instantly swelled up like a steamed bun.

"I'll say it again, I have a name, Mo Xuelian!"

"Zhu'er, how could you do this? It's just a name..."

"Pa!" Mo Xuelian slapped Ding Xianggu again, and his teeth flew out.

"Pearl..."

Is this person really confused? Or is he just reading and replying randomly?

There was another "pop" sound.

After more than ten times, Ding Xianggu finally called out the right name, "Xue Lian, I'm tired, go and boil some water for my bath."

Mo Xuelian slapped him again.

Ding Xianggu cried and wiped his tears with his hands. His armor almost poked his eyes. He asked, "Why did you hit me again? I called you my name."

"You must have forgotten that you are no longer the Queen, and I am no longer a palace maid. Do you still want to order me around?" Mo Xuelian sneered.

"Yes, I am the Empress. The Emperor and I are childhood sweethearts. I faked my death just to make him worried about me and then come looking for me. I will definitely return to the palace then." After saying that, he looked at Mo Xuelian proudly.

"Hahaha, there are such self-righteous women like you in the world. Death is death, what's the point of faking it? Tomorrow the emperor will issue an imperial decree saying that the queen has passed away. I wonder how you dare to appear in public in the future."

Mo Xuelian said as she walked up to Chang Tiangou and woke him up. "I thought the great guard Chang was so powerful, but he fainted just because he lost an arm. I don't know how you, a guard who used to guard the cold palace, got to the emperor's presence."

"Now that you're awake, don't leave. Go and serve your queen."

"How can I, a man, serve the queen so closely?"

"Stop pretending, okay? Look at the disgusting look in this old woman's eyes. It's almost threadbare. Anyone with eyesight knows that you're coveting the Emperor's woman."

"I still have to go back to duty. Otherwise, if the emperor finds out, I'll be dead!"

"Oh, you remember it now? It's too late! Did you think of this when you sent the queen out of the palace?" Mo Xuelian laughed at him.

He asked Duoduo to set up a barrier in the house and brought Fu Zihao over.

"Yes, two grown men are serving you, my master. I am treating you well, right? Queen?"

Fu Zihao was still angry, but when he heard that the person in front of him was the queen, who was elegant and graceful, and the armor on her hands alone was priceless, he immediately put on a smile, "Your Majesty, may I help you bathe?"

Ding Xianggu took a look at the man and thought he looked quite sunny. Anyway, she couldn't expect Mo Xuelian to serve her, so she might as well give the man in front of her a chance to serve her fairy daughter.

Ding Xianggu was extremely misogynistic and a man-pleaser. Mo Xuelian knew that even the eunuchs in the palace would be greeted with a smile and even greeted with courtesy. However, she was extremely harsh towards women.

I just don’t know how long the men she likes can serve her?

Mo Xuelian really wanted to know, but she didn't disturb them and just watched the show quietly.

Chang Tiangou, no matter what, was still an imperial guard, so it was definitely impossible for him to serve the old fairy. Therefore, only Fu Zihao was busy.

"Zihao, I want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake, go buy some."

"Zihao, this dress is old, and it's not silk. How can it match my temperament?"

"Empress, the silver I earn every month is not enough to buy silk."

"Don't you have any savings?"

"If I spend all my savings, how will I live in the future?"

"We'll talk about the future later. Now I want to wear silk."

Fu Zihao soon couldn't stand the throat-splitting sound of the clove mushrooms, so he ran to the town to buy some.

Then I heard people on the street talking, "Have you heard? The Queen has passed away, and the Emperor has ordered that she be buried as a concubine in the same underground palace as the other concubines."

"Serves her right! Her father killed so many people, and even executing the entire family wasn't enough to appease the people's anger. She can even be buried in the imperial mausoleum. It's really unfair."

After returning, Fu Zihao looked at Ding Xianggu with much colder eyes.

Soon, Ding Xianggu became dissatisfied. Chang Tiangou also spoke up for her. Fu Zihao was very arrogant, but he couldn't beat Chang Tiangou, so he lived a miserable life.

Half a year passed like this, and both Fu Zihao and Chang Tiangou had become extremely thin. He wondered if the queen was a fox spirit who specialized in sucking men's blood.

But they didn't have time to think about it, as the door was suddenly pushed open and the emperor and the imperial concubine walked in.

"Surprised, isn't this the Queen?" The imperial concubine covered her mouth and laughed, then pretended to be serious. "At first I thought someone was playing a prank, but it turns out that the Queen is really still alive? Judging from her complexion, the past six months have been very comfortable. It's just a pity for these two men, they are just skin and bones."

The emperor's face was gloomy. "Since you are dead, why did you make it known to the whole city? You are really bringing shame to the royal family."

Ding Xianggu pouted, "Your Majesty, I just want you to pay more attention to me, that's why I did this"

"Hmph! Isn't the favor I've shown you enough? Come! Take these men back. Tomorrow at noon, they'll be torn into pieces!"

Ding Xianggu was about to cry. She tried to wipe her eye with her armored hand, but it poked her eyeball again. This time, tears really came out, and she couldn't stop crying. "Your Majesty, are you still my concubine's young man?"

"Young friendship? You still dare to mention young friendship to me? You are living in the same room with two men now, what do you mean? Take me away!"

Seeing this, Ding Xianggu no longer pretended to be calm and indifferent, "Your Majesty, all these years of companionship and friendship from this concubine have been wasted!!"

On the second day, many people gathered at the Meridian Gate, including many refugees who had fled to the capital.

As soon as they saw the shiitake mushrooms, rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs were thrown at her.

How could she, who always loved beauty, bear this? She burst into tears on the spot, tears and snot flying all over the place, it was really disgusting.

Even Chang Tiangou and Fu Zihao were not spared.

When the execution was carried out that day, many people applauded.

Ding Xianggu was torn apart by five horses. His body was thrown into a mass grave. At night, the body reassembled itself into a complete human.

Mo Xuelian found her and said, "Do you think you can die like this? That's too easy for you. Didn't you say you didn't believe that someone would get angry for a few taels of silver? Now I'll show you what a few taels of silver can do."

I brought the cinnamon mushrooms to the disaster area. There was a family there who had some food stored, barely enough to feed the family. However, the disaster relief officials delayed distributing the food, causing more and more people to starve. Their home was also looted by refugees, and their sick daughter died because they had no money to treat her.

There are many families like this. How many families like this are behind 100,000 lives?

Mo Xuelian sold it to their family for 2 taels of silver, "This is the deceased queen. She destroyed your family, and you should make her work for you to repay her."

The family initially hesitated to accept the child, but then they thought, since the Queen is already dead, what's there to be afraid of? At worst, they could just say the child is someone who looks like the Queen. And since she looked down on us, the lower class, now let her have a taste of what life is like for us!

Mo Xuelian said, "If your family finds her annoying, just sell her to someone else. It'll still be two taels of silver. You won't suffer any loss, and you'll get a worker for free."

Dingshiitake was horrified, "No, you can't do this to me."

"Why not? This is your fate, you have to accept it!"

Ding Xianggu: ...Why does this sound so familiar?

Thus, Ding Xianggu lived her dream of a daily life of chopping wood, lighting fires, cooking, and being scolded and beaten. Some families even made her kneel on the ground and hold an oil lamp. Several times, she lost her grip and the wax dripped onto the back of her hands, causing blisters.

Ding Xianggu endured such a life until he was 80 years old, and died when he could no longer bear it.

Duoduo threw Ding Xianggu, Chang Tiangou and Fu Zihao's souls into hell and left.

In this life, Mo Xuelian's business was doing very well. She opened several branches and lived a life of luxury.
