The whipper was exhausted, and threw the rattan off the willow tree beside him into the pool, threatening:

"I'll go back now and tell the master that you're sick. Go back to the mansion yourself. Also, cover up the wounds on your body. If others see it, you will know what will happen to you!"

After saying that, the man kicked the girl on the ground again as if venting his anger, then he snorted coldly, turned and left.

The girl sobbed and got up, pulled down her sleeves to cover the red marks on her arms, and walked out with her head bowed. She was caught off guard and bumped into someone head-on. She backed away like a frightened bird, and quickly apologized:

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I... I'm sorry..."

Lou Rongrong stretched out her hand to hold her shoulder, and said calmly:

"Don't be nervous, relax, I didn't blame you."

The girl heard a familiar voice, looked up, saw that it was Lou Rongrong, her eyes froze for a moment, then as if thinking of something, the circles of her eyes turned red, and tears welled up uncontrollably.

Unexpectedly, she was busy curtseying to Lou Rongrong, and her voice was broken into pieces:

"See... see the princess."

Probably because she was captured by the robbers before, Lou Rongrong rescued her and her companions from the robbers, and reached out to help them when they were facing desperation. She just shed physiological tears because of the pain , but at this moment it suddenly turned into an uncontrollable grievance.

Lou Rongrong sighed, reached out to hold her hand, gently opened the sleeve, saw the red and swollen welt, and asked:

"Does it hurt?"

The little girl wanted to take back her hand and put down her sleeves to cover the scar, but she shook her head and didn't say whether it hurts or not, she just cried:

"Let the princess watch the joke."

She didn't ask Lou Rongrong why she didn't stop her eldest sister from beating and scolding her since she was nearby, and she even felt quite lucky that Lou Rongrong didn't come out, she just got a beating, if Lou Rongrong came out for her Well, after the eldest sister returns home, she will definitely bully herself even more.

In the days to come, her aunt was assassinated by the royal family because she was too favored. She was born like her biological mother, the kind of gentle and caring that men like most, and she cried even more pear blossoms and rain She is pitiful, so she has never been liked by the mistress, and lives as humble as sedge in the house, and is often beaten and scolded.

That's all, what made her aunt and aunt most unacceptable was that she had not been exposed to poetry books for a long time, and she showed an extraordinary talent like her mother, but aunt couldn't read it no matter what. Fengyue, therefore jealous of her even more.

She also knew that if she wanted to grow up safely, the best way was to give up poetry and books, and be a humble concubine who didn't know how to read books and only cultivated women's virtues. Life is better now.

But when I went to my father's study and wanted to say that I didn't want to go to school anymore, I hesitated rarely.

Since she was born, she has been cautious and careful everywhere, living like sedge on the steps, everyone can step on her, but only when she reads those words, can she straighten her back, like those famous poets through the ages Ordinarily, looking at mountains, seas, wind and moon, and cultivating the awe-inspiring spirit of heaven and earth, she feels that this is the life of a human being.

This was her only rebellion against the endless life—she didn't give up studying, but chose to find ways to please high-ranking officials and ladies from famous families.

Since she was a child, she knew how to please others better than anyone else. Her father had a low official position, because he pointed at her and said something nice in front of those noble girls, so he didn't listen to his aunt's request and still allowed her to study.

As for the "Wen Lang" mentioned just now, it is Wen Ruxu, the eldest son of Wen Si, the minister of the household department. She showed a little bit of love, but her sister-in-law fell in love with him at first sight, and she was not allowed to get close to "Wen Lang" ever since.

Today's sister beat and scolded her precisely because, although she tried her best to publish a couplet that didn't fit her usual style, she still made Wen Ruxu confront her, so sister naturally couldn't be more angry.

Looking at her timid eyes, Lou Rongrong knew what she was afraid of. After a moment of silence, she suddenly said:

"At the beginning, I might as well not send you back to the family, and maybe give you some money. It is easier for you to live on your own than after returning home. Sending you home will actually harm you."

Song Sirou quickly raised his head, his apricot eyes widened and he said:

"How?! Princess! You saved us and backed us up so that others can't gossip about us. This is a great grace to us. Even the underground judge Yan Luo came and couldn't challenge us." Make a little mistake."

Her expression dimmed a bit:

"It's not your fault, princess, it's the troubles of the world that we don't have a good life. If we really go out of the house to live by ourselves, the unmarried lady will not have a man to support her, even a beggar on the side of the road would dare Come to bully one or two, even if you have money in your hand, you won’t be able to keep it.”

There is no room for women in the world... Lou Rongrong lowered her eyes slightly, but a little anger ignited in her heart.

Seeing that Lou Rongrong didn't speak, Song Sirou thought she had listened to his advice, so he wiped away his tears, bowed his knees and saluted:

"Let's pretend that the princess has never seen what happened today. Sirou will go back to the mansion now. If she goes back late, she will be punished again."

Speaking of getting up and about to leave, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by Lou Rongrong.

She turned her head in surprise, and saw that Lou Rongrong's expression remained unchanged, and asked:

"Sirou, do you know how the other people who were sent back like you are doing?"

Sirou hesitated for a moment, looked carefully at Lou Rongrong, and said:

"It seems... not very good. I... I heard that there are a few sisters who couldn't bear it and couldn't get married, so... they asked themselves to become monks, and... there was another sister , My sweetheart eloped in the middle of the night, but was discovered and broke her leg..."

Lou Rongrong said in astonishment:

"Such a big thing? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Song Sirou smiled bitterly and said:

"Princess, the person you personally sent back, how dare they let you know, it is the sister whose leg was broken, and because of your kindness, at least she was not killed, but now she has a broken leg and is trapped in the house. In the mansion, I don't know what kind of life I live..."

The words in Lou Rongrong's hand were twisted into shape, but there was a kind of calm on her face, she said:

"Also, do you know the current situation of other people?"

Song Sirou shook his head and said:

"Since that day has passed, I have rarely had the opportunity to leave the house. I also obtained all these news secretly. I think the situation of other sisters is not much better."
