Forget it here, Xia Jingsheng was so forced by Xia Jingyan's words that he had to find a reason to drive Yan Yu home first. Poor Yan Yu had just suffered such a big crime and had his scars removed, but today Xia Jingsheng said: "I have been away from home for too long.
The reason for going home to see his parents was that a small sedan was sent back to the original county overnight. Before Yan Yu had time to react, someone came to invite him.
In the former county official's office, Yan Li looked at his daughter Yan Yu with a dark look on his face, and he was so angry that his teeth itched.
"If you can't just stay in the palace and serve the prince, why are you coming home?" Yan Li walked up to Yan Yu and asked.
Yan Yu lowered her head. She was sent back somehow, so she could only recite the rhetoric given by Xia Jingsheng.
"The prince said that my daughter has been away from home for too long and should come back to visit her parents..."
"Then the prince has told you when he wants you to go back?"
"No...no, he asked Yan Yu to stay longer..." Yan Yu whispered.
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Yan Li slapped him.
"Why are you visiting your parents? No master would mention such a thing! The prince clearly doesn't like you, so he drove you back to the house. You have gained so much face for nothing!" Yan Li roared.
That slap was not light. Yan Yu immediately fell to the ground. Her mind went blank for a moment and she felt dizzy. She could no longer hear clearly what Yan Li said. She could only hear it in a blur.
Yan Li complained to his aunts about how he had given birth to such a useless daughter who was still crying all the time. The aunts all despised her, and the best ones just looked on with cold eyes.
Also, if she doesn't get the favor of the prince, who will care about a concubine?
Even his own brothers and sisters despised him. Among the dozen or so people, only Yan An took pity on him and cried for his sister. But after all, he was still young and could not compete with so many people. He was taken to the room by his wet nurse.
go.
Yanyu was left alone and was thrown into the woodshed. The woodshed was cold and cold.
Yan Yu longed for someone to take a look at her and give her some clothes to keep out the cold, but there was no one there all night, and it wasn't until the next morning that someone came to wake Yan Yu up, but she wasn't here to care about Yan Yu.
, but came to tell Yan Yu a more painful news:
"Miss, wake up. The master has told you to wash up and change clothes. He will take you into the palace." The old woman who reported the news had a cold tone and did not mean to pity Yan Yu at all.
"Aunt! Aunt, don't leave!"
Just as the old woman was about to leave, Yan Yu quickly pulled her back.
"What did father say... He wanted to send me to the palace? For what?" Yan Yu's eyes were anxious, fearing that he would end up with his eldest sister Yan Ling.
"What else can I do, of course, is to enter the palace and become a concubine. The master originally had high hopes for the young lady and went to great lengths to send the young lady to the palace. Who would have thought that the young lady would be so unsatisfactory and the prince would rush him back home. In this case, the young lady will
Come into the palace, His Majesty will not dislike you anyway." The old woman shook off Yan Yu and walked away.
Yan Yu collapsed on the ground, it was really over now.
Why is Yan Li so cruel! Who knows now that after entering Emperor Yuan's harem, if he is favored even a little bit, he will be infamy, which is a disaster for the country and the people. Besides, Emperor Yuan is extremely ridiculous, how can Yan Yu tolerate such a person?
?
A few days ago, Yan Jieyu returned home and cried, saying that she was going crazy and that if she stayed in the palace for a while, she would really die in the palace. However, Yan Li sent her back without any scruples about her daughter.
life.
Now, Yan Li actually wants to send Yan Yu to the palace.
Yan Yu struggled for a long time, whether to really listen to Yan Li's words and follow his wishes and be a puppet for the rest of his life, or to run away.
Soon someone dragged Yan Yu back to the house, locked her in, and asked her to dress up properly. Yan Yu felt that the invisible shackles around her made her breathless.
Enough!
Yan Yu has had enough, why should she endure bullying like this for the rest of her life?
First, she was forced to give up her identity as a lady and work as a maid for Xia Jingsheng. When she fell in love with Xia Jingsheng, she was forcibly sent home for no apparent reason. Now she is being sent to the palace to serve the foolish king. Why!
Yan Yu has decided that she will never be manipulated like this again. She is determined to escape. Why should she devote her life to this family that has never given her warmth? From now on, the glory of the Yan family has nothing to do with her.
.
Yan Yu looked out through the gap in the window. Yan Li and his concubines were standing in front of the mansion, instructing the driver to prepare. The concubine's face was so charming that Yan Yu was disgusted by it, but it was okay.
While they were not paying attention, Yan Yu found an opportunity.
There is no one in the world who is more familiar with Yan Mansion than Yan Yu, including the servants in the mansion and Yan Li. Yan Yu has been lonely since she was a child, and the only way to relieve her boredom is to explore Yan Mansion in various ways. Unintentionally, she also discovered the secrets of Yan Mansion.
A secret passage was left by Yan Yu's grandfather. At that time, there was a melee in the four rivers, so he left a passage to save his life. Later, when there was peace in the four rivers, Yan Yu's grandfather forgot to tell Yan Li about the existence of the secret passage.
That became Yan Yu's life-saving way to save himself.
Yan Yu jumped out of the window and sneaked into the secret passage in the backyard. He followed the secret passage out of Yan's Mansion, hired a carriage with the only money he had, and asked the groom to go to the capital as quickly as possible and not look back if anyone stopped him.
After listening to Yan Yu's words, the groom took the path in the forest and hurried to the capital. But Yan Li was not a fool. Yan Yu didn't leave the house for a long time. He immediately realized that something was wrong. When he opened the door, Yan Yu was not there, so he quickly sent someone to the mansion.
When someone went to look for Yanyu, he actually put a reward on his daughter and issued a wanted order. Seeing that the money was quite large, police officers from all over the city immediately hunted down Yanyu.
Not long after, Yan Yu heard the sound of galloping horse hooves behind him.
"Go quickly! I beg you, go quickly and don't stop!" Yan Yu prayed to the driver.
Seeing that they were about to arrive in the capital, hope was right in front of them, and Yan Yu really didn't want her hope to be shattered.
But the coachman is not a saint, he is just a common man. He also has a family and relatives. After all, Yan Li is an official. After a little scare, the coachman did not dare to move forward and stopped the car immediately.
"Damn girl! Get down! It's embarrassing!" Yan Li dismounted and rushed forward, walked towards the carriage, opened the curtain, grabbed Yan Yu's ears, pulled her down, and threw her to the ground.
"Master~ Yan Yu, this damn girl, I'm afraid she won't have a long memory if she doesn't get beaten!" The concubine stepped forward and hugged Yan Li's arm. Her ugly face showed up again. She winked and walked over immediately.
A servant handed him a whip.
"Bring it to your family!" Yan Li yelled, then stepped back to make room for his concubine.
The concubine held a short whip and whipped Yan Yu without any scruples. Yan Yu immediately cried out in pain and fell to the ground, leaving a bloody mark on his arm.
Yan Yu only felt burning pain.
Another whip was applied, but the concubine had no intention of stopping, as if Yan Yu had a blood feud with her, and her fierce expression looked like she wanted to beat Yan Yu to death.
After five lashes, Yan Yu was in so much pain that she couldn't get up. She thought that she would die tragically today. But it was a coincidence that in order to coax Zhou Ranzhuo, Xia Jingyan took Zhou Ranzhuo out to play, and he bumped into this person.
