He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

With one hand handing over money and the other handing over people, Dange finally became Lu Yan's. Lu Yan took Dan Ge to the carriage and prepared to return to the inn.

Dange felt like he was in a dream, and he was in a trance. He didn't expect that he would really come out.

Lu Yan couldn't help but be curious: "Let me ask you, aren't you the daughter of General Ilbu? How did you end up in such a place?"

Dan Ge sighed: "My real name is He Yue. My father is the general of the Yi tribe. He has three wives. The customs in Beidi are very different from those in Dali. Men with high status here can have There are many wives, and women with high status can also have many husbands. There is no distinction between wives and concubines between these wives and their husbands, and their status is equal."

"My mother is a Han woman. She told me that she was once the child of a merchant family. She followed her family's caravan out to do business at the border. She encountered robbers and was kidnapped. The robbers have not brought her back to the camp. Then she met someone from the Yi tribe who was out hunting, and just like that, she became my father’s only Han wife.”

"Before that battle, my mother had a premonition of the end of Beidi's decline, secretly knocked me out and then committed suicide. She asked her servants to take me south. Her servants were not that reliable, and we were all the way We went south together, and I was unprepared for her. One day she took all my money and ran away while I was sleeping, leaving me nothing. It was Mother Jin who happened to see me with nothing and saved my life. I just followed her to Yuting Pavilion."

Lu Yan couldn't help but sigh after hearing this: "Tell me if your mother needs to be like this. If you had stayed in Beidi honestly, you might be fine now."

He Yue shook her head: "Impossible. Beidi people are not as generous as you think. You don't know how they treat women."

Lu Yan was surprised: "I heard you say that their high-status women can have several husbands, regardless of their wives and concubines, so I thought they would be more equal."

"That is a woman with a high status. Once a woman's status rises, she will no longer be a woman." He Yue explained: "Women at the bottom are everything to them. If the father dies, the son will succeed, and if the brother dies, the brother will succeed. You should I’ve heard that in Beidi, although it’s not so outrageous, it’s similar. Once a woman’s husband or father dies, she becomes a public resource, and those who are able can get it.”

"You don't know what will happen to my father's wives and me after my father dies. My mother is a Han woman after all. After her husband dies, he is inherited by his companions like property. This is an insult to her, so She will commit suicide."

Lu Yan was shocked again after hearing the story. Fortunately, Heyue is finally free now and no longer has to worry about anyone inflicting any suffering on her.

The eight hundred taels of silver were well spent. I would find a way to get it back from the prince some other time.

When they arrived at the inn, Lu Yan opened another room for He Yue and let He Wenjing and He Yue sleep in one room to protect her while she slept in a separate room.

Lu Yan couldn't explain why she arranged it this way, but she always had a strange intuition in her heart that this trip wouldn't be so easy.

When Lu Yan was sleeping at night, she was wondering whether she should go to Lu Sheng or the others. Theoretically, he has already got He Yue and has nothing else to do here. He should take He Yue back to the capital directly.

But Lu Sheng was still following the prince's gang to build dams in the lower counties. You can leave him alone. You didn't intend to care about him at first, so you planned to let him follow the prince. But before setting off, she suddenly knew that he would be in a bloody disaster, which made Lu Yan less determined.

After all, Lu Sheng came here because of her, and a bloody disaster was very likely to occur in the next few days. It would be too shameful for him to just leave like that.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan decided to go find Lu Sheng. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to go back, so I might as well just go find the prince to have a meal.

Lu Yan made up her mind and took He Yue to buy some serious clothes early the next morning. Heyue didn't bring anything with her when she left. She was wearing a waist-baring dance skirt. She attracted countless people's attention wherever she went and had a high rate of turning heads. To keep a low profile, Lu Yan bought several clothes for her.

Several people set off from Zhoucheng and rushed to Jiangling County, and arrived at the inn where they had stayed before nightfall.

The shopkeeper still remembered Lu Yan and greeted her enthusiastically when she came back: "Miss Lu, is the matter done?"

Lu Yan smiled tacitly: "It's done! Thank you very much, shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper glanced at the extra He Yue. Although He Yue had changed into ordinary clothes, her appearance was still very different from that of a Han woman. When she thought of Lu Yanwen's Yuting Pavilion and the dancers who could dance the Hu Xuan dance, she suddenly realized it.

They still rented two rooms and borrowed the inn's kitchen again. This time there was no leftover food, so Lu Yan made a pot of stewed rice with potatoes and sausages.

When the stewed rice with potatoes and sausage comes out of the pot, the aroma is even more overwhelming than that of egg fried rice. Lu Yan spontaneously invited the shopkeeper and waiter to sit down and eat together.

The potatoes were soft and glutinous, the sausages were salty and fragrant, and the fat and sauce oozing out soaked the white rice, giving it a very appetizing sauce color. Several people ate without raising their heads. Only Lu Yan silently missed pasta. After not eating noodles for a few days, she started to crave steamed buns.

This was the first time He Yue ate the food cooked by Lu Yan, and she couldn't help but marvel at Lu Yan's cooking skills: "You are so amazing! It's so delicious!"

He Wenjing couldn't help but be proud: "Hey, didn't you know, our boss owns a food shop!"

He Yue Xingxing looked at Lu Yan: "Then your business must be very good. Your friends must also like you very much."

Lu Yan nodded: "Don't say it, it's true."

Heyue asked again: "You said before that you knew Helie. Has Helie ever eaten the food you made?"

Lu Yan shook her head: "Our relationship with Helie is a bit awkward. He seems to hate the Han people and is quite resistant to everything in the Dali Dynasty."

He Yue frowned: "This shouldn't be the case. His mother has a good relationship with my mother, and my mother is also very good to him. He liked to come to my mother's place to play when he was young."

Lu Yan also fell into deep thought. If she said this, something must have happened later. She intuitively felt that Helie's transformation was not as simple as a war.
