Jiang Jin just looked at Mu Jiaojiao like this and fell asleep unknowingly.

The next morning, Mu Jiaojiao woke up and found Jiang Jin was no longer around. Jiang Jin seemed to be busy these days, and Mu Jiaojiao didn't pay any attention to him.

She practiced some boxing in the yard, then washed up, made a cup of tea, and sat in the pavilion in the yard, enjoying the rising sun.

Mu Jiaojiao drank a cup of tea or so when Liu Yulan appeared outside the pavilion. The morning dew had not yet dissipated. Mu Jiaojiao looked at Liu Yulan who had just slept. The corners of her clothes were a little wet, but her complexion looked much better.

Liu Yulan saw Mu Jiaojiao leaning on the soft chair with her eyes slightly narrowed and a look of enjoyment on her face. She walked into the pavilion.

"Sister Yulan, sit down."

Mu Jiaojiao sat up straight, raised her hand to pour Liu Yulan a cup of peach blossom tea, placed it on the stone table in front of Liu Yulan, and invited her to sit down.

"You have a leisurely life these days."

Liu Yulan sat down and looked at Mu Jiaojiao, who was lazy opposite her. She was beautiful and brilliant, and couldn't help but say something.

"When we are alive, shouldn't we enjoy life leisurely?"

Mu Jiaojiao raised her hand, picked up the teacup, took another sip of tea, and then spoke.

"Enjoying life?"

When Liu Yulan heard this, she was stunned, and then she murmured, "So the purpose of life is to enjoy it?"

Isn't it that women should marry and obey their husbands? And isn't it also about bearing children and continuing the family line?

"Well, a great writer once said that when life is good, you should enjoy it to the fullest!"

Mu Jiaojiao nodded to Liu Yulan sitting opposite her, and then this line of poetry suddenly popped into her head.

"Have fun to the fullest! What a great way to have fun!"

Liu Yulan was sighing, but her voice was not very loud, even a little low.

"Mu Jiaojiao, do you think I can still have fun?"

Liu Yulan then looked at Mu Jiaojiao, with sadness in her eyes, without the arrogance that she used to have when she looked at people with squinted eyes.

"Of course you can!"

Mu Jiaojiao spoke in a firm tone, as if she didn't understand Liu Yulan's implicit meaning.

When Liu Yulan heard Mu Jiaojiao's affirmative words, she felt a warmth in her heart and her eyes were filled with moisture. She quickly lowered her head and looked at the tea in her hand.

"Mu Jiaojiao, half a year ago, my mother and I came to Maple Leaf City to visit relatives and bought some girly things. My mother and father doted on me and tried to give me everything I wanted since I was a child, and this time was no exception."

Liu Yulan lowered her head and spoke to Mu Jiaojiao. When she mentioned her parents, her expression became much gentler.

Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao didn't say anything, but just listened quietly. Seeing that her tea was almost finished, she poured her a cup of tea.

"I still remember that when I saw this silver hairpin with a Ruyi flower, my eyes were filled with love, but my mother didn't have enough money to buy it. Although I was a bit arrogant, I also knew the situation at home. Five taels of silver was indeed too expensive, so I put down the hairpin."

As Liu Yulan spoke, she took out a transparent and reflective silver hairpin from her sleeve. At the end of the hairpin was a Ruyi flower carved.

"Just then, he appeared. He was wearing a dark blue robe. He reached out his hand and picked up the silver hairpin in front of me. His phoenix eyes carefully examined the hairpin, then turned to look at me and said to me: 'The silver hairpin and the beauty are a perfect match!'"

When Liu Yulan said this, there was a hint of smile in her eyes, which then turned into a sad look.

"I fell in love with him at first sight, and he and I felt a deep connection."

When Liu Yulan said this, tears couldn't help but roll down her eyes.

"Sister Yulan, if you don't want to tell me, you don't have to tell me."

Mu Jiaojiao took out a handkerchief embroidered by Zhao Jianjia from her sleeve, handed it to Liu Yulan, and then spoke.

Liu Yulan took the handkerchief, wiped her tears, then shook her head and signaled to Mu Jiaojiao that she was fine.

She was just lamenting the fleeting beauty of the past and feeling that her former innocence was not worth it.

"My mother told me at the time that he came from a wealthy family and how could he be interested in a country girl like me? I was blinded by love, and since he was a talented actor, my mother finally agreed to let me stay in Maple Leaf City. We didn't go through any formalities or formal marriage."

"He and I lived together in a small courtyard, but unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Not long after my mother returned to Lihua Village, a woman dressed in bright and beautiful clothes came to our house with her maid, saying that I was a little bitch who seduced her man."

When Liu Yulan said this, the corners of her mouth curled up, full of self-mockery. It can be seen that she has really become the questionable woman who seduces men in the eyes of others!

"Mu Jiaojiao, isn't that funny? I, Liu Yulan, had my eyes set on the sky. I used to look down on everyone, but in the end, I became a man's mistress, kept outside in secret!"

"It's just that I met the wrong person. You, Liu Yulan, didn't do anything wrong."

Mu Jiaojiao looked at her like this, her voice still calm, stating the facts calmly.

"Hehehe... That's right! At first I also felt that I had done nothing wrong!

But after the incident, I wanted to leave him, but he wouldn't allow me. He locked me up every day, saying he loved me and couldn't live without me.

Mu Jiaojiao's expression remained unchanged when she heard this, but she felt that this man might have a dark or even twisted mentality.

"After a while, I couldn't make any more noises and thought that was the end of it. But one night, he got drunk, took a whip from the house, and started beating and cursing at me. From then on, things got out of control."

When Liu Yulan recalled this, her hands began to tremble and her body trembled reflexively.

Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao stood up, raised her hand to hold her shoulder, patted her and soothed her.

"I don't know how long I was imprisoned. I just felt that if I continued like this, I would die sooner or later. But I didn't want to die. I wanted to live. One day, I took advantage of him being drunk and escaped."

Liu Yulan's expression gradually became crazy, and she seemed to be thinking about the scene after escaping, and her body shook even more violently.

"I didn't escape. He sent people to catch me and we fought again. Just when I thought I was going to die, I still survived!"

"I want to continue to escape. I want to report to the police and sue this man for taking human life and for violating the law of nature.

Unfortunately, I couldn't escape the courtyard this time. When he found out I had run away, he seemed to be tired of playing with me. He didn't even hit me this time. He just had the servants drag me into Yingchun Courtyard and sell me off."

When Mu Jiaojiao heard this, a frost gathered in her eyes. She couldn't stand men who hurt women. What kind of ability was it to beat a woman after getting drunk?

Moreover, it can be seen that he is a man with perverted and sadistic tendencies, which is simply unforgivable.

"Although I, Liu Yulan, have a worthless life, I am at least a respectable woman. How could I be so shameless as to sell my body in Yingchun Courtyard? I have no shame, but my parents still have some dignity!

I escaped, and this time I finally succeeded, but I didn't dare leave the city. I was afraid the guards were also his men. I hid for ten days and finally met you."

When Liu Yulan said this, her tears had completely stopped, but her eyes were still red.

"Mu Jiaojiao, you saved me again!"
