The Daily Life of a Concubine's Daughter After Transmigrating

Li Miao, his back hunched, nodded, a few tears falling to the ground. Supported by Liu Yun, he limped away from the execution ground.

Zhang Xinjue stood up and extended a hand to Li Anqi.

"The Chess Lady actually managed to save Lord Li."

Li Anqi stepped forward and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Thanks to Lord Zhang for buying me time, I was able to save my father. I thank Lord Zhang."

Li Anqi bowed slightly.

"..."

Zhang Xinjue's eyes were sharp as he looked at Li Anqi.

“A few hours ago, Consort Qin sought help from Wei Yuan and Commander Shao but failed. She then brought dozens of guards from the Prince Xiao’s mansion and caused a great disturbance at my residence. I have already imprisoned Consort Qin in the prison for disobeying imperial orders.”

"..."

Li Anqi had been counting on this.

Li Baoqin was able to use the Prince of Xiao's connections to help the Jingguo Mansion.

As a result, Li Baoqin not only failed to utilize Xiao Wang's connections, but was also imprisoned.

A sense of helplessness rose in Li Anqi's heart.

It was initially thought that Li Baoqin, having experienced the pain of losing her son, would become more composed.

Unexpectedly, her personality remained the same as before—brainless and straightforward.

"After all, Consort Qin is Prince Xiao's concubine, so I dared not act rashly. Therefore, I reported this matter to the Emperor. The Emperor has already issued an edict ordering Consort Qin to be imprisoned in the Prison for six months."

Li Anqi bowed to Zhang Xinjue again.

“My sister has always been like this, she has caused trouble for Lord Zhang. I will apologize to the Emperor after I have dealt with the matters of the Jingguo Mansion.”

Zhang Xinjue nodded.

After leaving the execution ground, Li Anqi immediately rushed to the West Street Human Market.

The human market was particularly lively today, with all the cages crammed with slaves.

These numerous slaves were almost all former servants of the Jingguo Mansion.

On a high platform in the center of the city, dozens of cages were placed.

The slaves locked in the cages were mostly good-looking, young and beautiful, or had special skills, or had special status.

Zuo Siyun and Aunt Xia's group were imprisoned in the cage right in the center of the high platform.

After a night of wind and rain, everyone was disheveled and exhausted, their tears long since dried, leaving them looking completely helpless.

Aunt Gao had completely gone mad. Even though she was locked in the next cage and was mentally unstable, the moment she saw Li Ancai, she still laughed wildly and whipped him with a strip of cloth.

Aunt Xia huddled in the corner, holding Li Anhua and Li Ancai protectively in her arms with both hands.

Zuo Siyun sat in the cage, her face dirty and her eyes blank and vacant.

Her former glory and wealth are gone.

Now, she can only be locked in a cage, bought and sold like a pig or a dog, reduced to the lowly slave she once despised the most.

What made Zuo Siyun even more despondent was the betrayal of her and the Jingguo Mansion by her father, Zuo Zhuran.

She always believed that she would always be her father's most beloved legitimate daughter, and the arrogant eldest daughter of the Zuo family.

She had always believed that the Zuo family and the Jingguo family had been on good terms for generations, inseparable, and as close as family.

She always believed that Li Anxiu was born to be her husband, and that she was born to be the young mistress of the Jingguo Mansion, and the future matriarch of the Jingguo Mansion.

She always thought that she would inherit the glory of both the Zuo family and the Jingguo family, and live a glorious life until her death.

However, she was completely wrong.

Her most beloved father delivered the most fatal blow—a backstab.

offstage.

A middle-aged fat man with a large belly, his eyes squinting and drooling, gave Zuo Siyun a lewd smile.

When Zuo Siyun saw the man's eyes, a hint of panic flashed across her face.

She subconsciously changed her position, hiding in a corner, and cautiously looked at the fat man.

Seeing that she was hiding, the fat man became even more excited and deliberately took a different route to find Zuo Siyun again.

Zuo Siyun's face was deathly pale, her eyes darting around, and she kept biting her thumb nail until it bled.

"How much is this, in taels of silver?"

The fat man pointed in the direction where Zuo Siyun was and asked the soldiers.

"Which one?!" the officer asked.

Zuo Siyun gripped her bleeding fingers tightly, her whole body trembling with the force.

Just as she made up her mind to smash her head against the wooden cage pillar and end her life... a figure in apricot yellow stood in front of her.

Zuo Siyun looked up blankly at Qiuyue's back.

The fat man changed positions several times, but he could no longer see Zuo Siyun.

He stared at Qiuyue's face and grinned lewdly, like a stinking, fat pig in a sty, making one feel disgusted.

“This one,” the fat man said, pointing to Qiuyue.

"This price of two hundred taels of silver is non-negotiable!" the officer said.

The fat man took out several silver notes from his sleeve and handed them to the soldiers.

The officers and soldiers handed the silver notes to the official in charge.

The official counted the silver notes, nodded, and made a note in the account book.

The soldiers opened the cage, roughly grabbed Qiuyue, tied her hands with hemp rope, and handed her over to the fat man.

The fat man stroked his chin, his lewd gaze sweeping over Qiu Yue's entire body without restraint.

"Let's go, beauty~"

The fat man licked his lips, touched Qiuyue's face, and finally took Qiuyue away.

Zuo Siyun's eyes widened slightly as she stared intently at the back of Qiu Yue's head.

But Qiuyue did not turn back.

Zuo Siyun suddenly felt a lump in her throat and burst into tears.

"They say wealth doesn't last three generations! You arrogant 'masters' have now become prisoners! What a fitting end!"

A young man dressed in bright green fine clothes flicked his paper fan, looked at the group of people in the cage, and revealed an arrogant and smug smile.
