Chapter 7 Surviving in the Crack (2)

"If you want to blame it, it's because you were unlucky in fate. You were reborn as a girl. You can live in a wealthy family, but you can still be a young lady with a lot of money. If you live in a poor family, that's all."

Yu Lan wants to go home.

cried.

Beg for mercy.

He also ran away.

But gradually Yu Lan understood that from the moment she was sold, she had no choice. She just went with the flow and couldn't help herself.

Yu Lan was young at that time, and looked sallow and thin. Except for her eyes, which were still watery, the color was not very good.

Because of this, she was not sold to a place like fireworks by Ya Po. Instead, she was sold to a passing salt merchant and became a maid in his house.

The salt merchant's surname was Zhang, and he had many wives and concubines at home, as well as many children. After Yu Lan arrived at the Zhang family, she was assigned to the eldest lady Zhang Qingqing, who was about the same age as her, to serve her.

She stayed with Zhang Qing as a maid for ten years.

This eldest lady had a bad temper and was unruly and willful. As her maid, Yu Lan suffered a lot.

She was either beaten and scolded by this eldest lady, or she was implicated and punished by her.

The only thing I felt gratified about was that the Zhang family hired a female gentleman to teach the young ladies in the family how to read, and Yu Lan, as the maid next to the eldest lady, naturally followed suit.

As for how well she studied, others naturally didn't know. Even the female gentleman thought she was pretty stupid, and it would be great if she could recognize all the characters.

He is honest, hard-working, can be beaten and scolded for being stupid, and he is average-looking.

This is how others view her.

This is why even though the maids around Zhang Qing changed batch after batch, Yu Lan was always still there.

Yu Lan has a delicate appearance and a very good appearance.

Therefore, even though his appearance was disguised, as time went by, Yu Lan's better figure was still noticed by the young master who was among the women.

Yu Lan was really frightened when she saw that the other person was looking at her more and more wildly.

Fortunately, not long after, this house was confiscated by the government for selling illegal salt.

Except for those who were beheaded in public display, the rest of the Zhang family were either exiled to the frontier or sold.

Naturally, maids and slaves were among them.

In this way, Yu Lan was resold to Xuanyang County. Also sold here with her was the eldest lady of the Zhang family whom she had been serving before.

It's just that Yu Lan didn't see her again after being sold to the Chen Mansion.

Yu Lan thought a lot that night, her mind was very confused, and she tossed and turned. Even in her dream, she could still see those blood-red eyes looking at her.

It was really a bad night's sleep.

Uncomfortable.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

If anything has happened in Xuanyang County in the past few days, there is really one thing.

"Have you heard that the city is now under martial law? You can only enter but not leave. I don't know what happened."

"I seem to have heard that the government is looking for someone? I don't know the details."

"I know this. When I went out to buy things for the second lady yesterday evening, I heard some news. I heard someone said that an adult came to the imperial capital and was looking for his sister who got lost a few years ago. It seemed like his lost sister

Now we are in Xuanyang County, so we have ordered the entire city to be under martial law, only entering and not leaving."

"It turns out that he is like this. I really envy his sister."

"No, it can only be said that people with different fates have different fates, and there is no point in envying her. Even if she is a rich lady, even if she is in trouble for a while, as long as she gets back, she will still be a eldest lady. There is no comparison between us and them."

When she heard this, Yu Lan was lowering her head to clean the courtyard. Not far from her, Bilu, the personal maid beside the second young lady, was whispering to the two maids passing by.
