The Story of a Destitute Noblewoman Farming

After coming out of the Priest's Pavilion, Zhong Fan and others immediately stepped forward and found that Lu Linlang was not seriously injured, so they were relieved.

"Uncle Zhong, please send me to the Chongshui River. I want to be alone." Lu Linlang was still a little shocked that the high priest saw through her identity at a glance.

She was wandering aimlessly at the moment and just wanted to find a place to take a walk.

When they arrived near the Chongshui River, she got off the carriage and strolled alone along the river.

The major issue that had been hanging in her mind for a long time, the invasion of the Tatars, had been temporarily resolved, and the elimination of the regent was imminent. The sword hanging over her head was suddenly withdrawn, but she felt a little uncomfortable.

She originally wanted to lie down, but step by step, whether actively or passively, she slowly started the next stage.

People, no matter what time it is, are bound to go through hardships. Her younger brothers grew up gradually, and it was time for them to pursue their future. She also slowly learned to let go. Apart from the seeds, she seemed to have lost her goal all of a sudden.

"Hey, where should I go next?" With the breeze blowing, she walked down along the direction of the water flow.

Zhong Fan and others followed her closely, not disturbing her, but also not leaving her alone.

"You little bitch, where are you going? Come back here. If you dare to run, I will catch you and beat you to death!" Just as she was thinking, a shout came from the front.

I saw a skinny woman with a red flower on her head and a stick in her hand, chasing a little girl.

At the same time, two tall men ran up from behind the skinny woman and were about to catch up with the little girl.

"Mother Wang, I can work. I don't want to sell myself. Can I do some hard labor to pay off my father's gambling debts? I don't want to drink with others." The little girl was about to be caught up. There was no point in running, so she turned around and knelt down to kowtow.

"Hmph, run away! I thought you were capable of such rebellion. Paying back debts is only natural. Your father couldn't pay off his gambling debts, so he sold you and your mother to me. Do you really think you can do any work in that building?

You can't even serve the people well. You offended someone today. How can I report to the boss if I don't take you back? Take her away. I'll beat her up in front of the guests and see if she dares to run away. "

Mother Wang waved her hand and dragged the little girl away.

"Wait a minute, who are you? How dare you buy and sell people at will? It's obvious that this kid doesn't want to sell herself." Lu Linlang knew that Uncle Zhong and the others were following her, so she didn't have to worry about these people retaliating.

"Oh, this girl looks familiar. She's so beautiful. Could it be that she wants to save someone? This girl was sold to us by her father himself. There's no forced sale. Since ancient times, women have been required to abide by the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. It's only natural for her father to sell her. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."

Mother Wang looked Lu Linlang up and down and felt that she looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who she was and didn't dare to offend her directly.

"According to the laws of Daqi, whether it's parents or anyone else, selling wives and daughters is against the law, let alone selling them to a brothel. This is an even more serious crime, unless it's during a war when people can't survive and the government can't investigate. Now, in Chongshui and even in the entire Hezhou, there is no such situation. Those who sell wives and daughters should be thrown into prison.

Don't use those three obediences and four virtues. The laws of Daqi, such as Heaven, Earth, Emperor, Parents, and Teacher, are more authoritative than the relationships between family members. You are openly challenging the law like this. Do you also want to go to jail?"

"Girl, why don't you listen? We are in this line of work, and we don't need you to scare us. Niu San, take the people back. If anyone dares to stop us and prevent us from making a fortune, don't blame us for being cruel."

She stopped talking to Lu Linlang and prepared to let her people leave. Lu Linlang naturally would not let them go and went straight forward to save the little girl.

"Looking for death!" Seeing her move, the thug named Niu San immediately reached out to slap Lu Linlang away, but Lu Linlang had been practicing martial arts, and the man named Niu San was knocked down after one move from her.

"Miss, we are here. Who are you? How dare you hit someone?"

"Mother Wang, I remember now. This girl's surname is Lu. She is the famous Mr. Lu in Chongshui. We have hit a wall today." Another thug was called Niu Si. He felt that the girl in front of him looked familiar. It turned out to be her.

"You pig-brained girl, why didn't you tell me earlier? I've been tricked by you guys today."

"Mr. Lu, we were so stupid and blind that we didn't see it was you. Please don't blame us, it was our fault. We will release this little girl immediately." Mother Wang knew how powerful this girl was and didn't dare to argue anymore. She just thought that she had lost money gambling today. If she continued talking, she was afraid that she would really go to jail.

"I've just heard about this little girl's mother as well. Aren't you going to release her as well?" Seeing that they recognized her, Lu Linlang stopped talking nonsense.

These people all run brothels. Although she has never been there, they are involved in a wide range of affairs and have complicated connections. Even if she makes them disappear today, there will be other people who will set their eyes on this piece of fat meat tomorrow, and she will be in a dilemma.

"Yes, yes, I'll have someone get her mother over right away. This really has nothing to do with us. It's all her father's fault. He lost money gambling and couldn't pay back, so he sold her to us. If you want to find someone, go find her father. We are really taking the blame for someone else."

Mother Wang put on a flattering expression, pushed the little girl in front of Lu Linlang, and asked Niu Si to find someone.

"Then bring the person here first. Buying and selling innocent people is illegal. I hope Mother Wang will remember this and not do anything that is against the law."

"Yes, yes, we understand. We will definitely abide by the laws of Daqi in the future."

After a while, the little girl's mother was also brought in. As soon as the mother and daughter met, they hugged each other and cried. Seeing this, Mother Wang took her people and slipped away.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu. I just heard that you saved my daughter. Thank you. She is only twelve years old this year. If she were caught, she would have no chance of escaping the fate of serving others. Xiao Liu, come and thank your benefactor."

Xiao Liu's mother had cried until her tears dried up. Today, those people asked Xiao Liu to receive a guest, but Xiao Liu refused. She took the opportunity to escape to Xiao Liu's room and hit the guest with a vase. The mother and daughter quickly fled to the backyard. Xiao Liu's mother grabbed the gatekeeper and told Xiao Liu to escape quickly, while she herself was beaten severely.

The old wounds had not healed yet and new ones were added. When she heard that Mother Wang had taken people to chase her, she thought Xiao Liu was doomed to escape this fate. She wanted to die just now, but she couldn't let go of her daughter who was about to be caught. Who knew that Niu Si actually came back and said that he and his mother were lucky and met a noble person, and Xiao Liu was rescued.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu. I will serve you like a slave. I can do any dirty or tiring work." Xiao Liu knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times.

"Don't worry, we're already out. Where are you planning to go? If you have nowhere to go, you can come with me and stay at the farm."

"Thank you for your kindness, young lady. We will follow you."

Just when everyone was off guard, Xiao Liu's mother, who had walked to the river, suddenly jumped off the bridge.

"Hurry, save her." Seeing that she was determined to die, Lu Linlang quickly gave the order.

Fortunately, it was still the hottest time of the year, and she was rescued soon.
