Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

After listening to Feng Jiyuan's words, some things that Dong Jiafu couldn't figure out before were now figured out.

No wonder that when the original owner was rescued by the couple, she never said her name from beginning to end. Even when she was misunderstood as a refugee, she acquiesced. Even when she was sold to Yapo, she did not dare to report it to the official.

It turned out that she was guilty, probably because she was afraid that if someone knew about it, they would accuse her of being a fugitive, and then there would be only one way for her to die.

Dong Jiafu felt very sad, not only for the girl with the same name as her, but also for their family.

The punishment of exile was second only to beheading. Many people couldn't bear it and died on the road for various reasons before reaching the place. Even if they were destined to be exiled, the daily labor, beatings and scoldings they endured were both physical and mental torture.

"Are my family members okay?" Dong Jiafu couldn't help but ask.

Feng Jiyuan was silent for a while before speaking: "Afu, I don't want to lie to you, they are not good. I came here this time because I heard that my mentor was ill, so I came to visit. But before coming to Qing County, I first went to visit Dong Uncle and Aunt Dong.”

"What happened to them?" Dong Jiafu asked nervously.

"Afu, don't worry, they are fine." Feng Jiyuan comforted him warmly, "They have been back from Mobei for more than two months. They are living in your old house and their life is quite stable. But compared with three years ago, Dong Uncle and Aunt Dong feel much older all of a sudden, and there are a lot of gray hairs on their temples."

Feng Jiyuan looked at her, "Mobei is an extremely cold place. We are all from the south of the Yangtze River. We can't adapt to that place, not to mention that my uncle and aunt have to do corvee work. I can still bear the weight on my body, and at least I can rest.

when. What hurts them the most is seeing something happen to you, which is a huge blow to them. "

"Aunt Dong used to be a person who loved to laugh. Now that I have come back, I have seen her three times and I have never seen her smile. Uncle Dong and your two brothers also blame themselves very much and wish they could not jump in to save you at that time. "

"Afu, go back and meet them." Feng Jiyuan said seriously.

After hearing these words, Dong Jiafu felt sad. She had to go back, even for the sake of that poor girl. She survived on her behalf, and she has to bear the responsibility.

"Give me two days, I'll take care of things here and then I'll leave with you."

"Really?" Feng Jiyuan was pleasantly surprised, "Afu, you promised to go back with me?"

"Yes." Dong Jiafu nodded.

"That's great. You can come back safely and their worries will be cured."

Dong Jiafu hesitated: "Can you tell me what kind of people they are?"

"Of course." Feng Jiyuan said eloquently, "Your father's name is Dong Jingtang. Although he was born in poverty and his parents died young, he was smart and studious. He became a high school Jinshi in his twenties. After that, he served as an official for more than twenty years and became a good person. He is fair and honest, considers the people wholeheartedly, and his official reputation is well-known.”

"Your mother, Mrs. Xu, is the daughter of Xuezheng from Yangzhou and comes from a scholarly family. She is the gentlest woman I have ever seen and is very kind to others."

"Your eldest brother's name is Dong Jiabao, who is three years older than me. He is twenty-five this year. Your second brother's name is Dong Jialin, who is the same age as me. When they were in Yingzhou, they were also high-spirited young men with ideals. Ambitious.”

Speaking of this, Feng Jiyuan's eyes darkened, "But

After experiencing the disaster, the eldest brother became much more taciturn and seemed more calm. Jialin looked the same as before when he saw me, but he couldn't deceive me. He was more thoughtful than before. "

Based on his description, Dong Jiafu sketched out her first impression of them in her mind. She must be happy to be their family, right?

But what was originally such a happy family would have been ruined if she hadn't been framed by others.

"My father..." Dong Jiafu was not used to this title. "Now that his case has been found out, will he be able to live an ordinary life in the future?"

The risks of being an official are too great. Even if you work diligently and make no mistakes, the consequences will inevitably fall from the sky. The person on the throne could put the whole family's lives at risk with just one word, so it would be safer to be an ordinary citizen.

Just as Dong Jiafu was thinking about it, Feng Jiyuan's words extinguished her nascent hope.

"Although Uncle Dong does not have an official position now, I heard from my father that the Holy Emperor spoke highly of him, and I am afraid that he will be entrusted with important tasks soon. After all, when something happened to Uncle Dong, it was the Holy Emperor who, as a prince, urged the late Emperor to pass judgment on him. The change from beheading to exile saved your family."

"Is there such a thing?" Dong Jiafu couldn't help but wonder, "Isn't my father a member of the Holy Sect at that time?"

Feng Jiyuan laughed, "Afu, you are overthinking. People like Uncle Dong will not participate in party struggles."

"That's weird. In the face of so many so-called irrefutable evidences, the Holy One decided that my father was wronged and still came forward to plead for mercy?"

"There is no way to know the specific reason. I'm afraid I have to ask the Holy One to find out."

Feng Jiyuan picked up the tea

Zhan took a sip of tea and said in surprise: "The tea made by Afu tastes really good."

"Thank you." Dong Jiafu smiled.

"Afu, I found that you have learned a lot in the past three years." Feng Jiyuan asked the question he had been wanting to ask for the past two days, "Can you tell me how you escaped death and how you were alone in the capital? Living?"

Dong Jiafu thought for a while and decided to tell him, "I was rescued from the river and sold to Yapo. Later, when officials came to buy maids, I begged them to buy me away. But. As soon as I arrived at my master's house, I fell seriously ill, and I couldn't remember anything after I woke up. Even the previous things were told to me by my mother in the house."

Feng Jiyuan's fingertips holding the teacup turned white from the exertion, "Afu, you were alone at that time, you must have been very scared, right?"

"It was true at the beginning. Fortunately, my host treated me very well, and I gradually adapted to it." Dong Jiafu told the truth.

"Have you been working as a servant in that family for the past three years?"

"Yes, I learned many things at that time."

"Then why did you come to Linqing County, and they were willing to give you the deed of sale?" Feng Jiyuan also lives in an official's family, and he has some understanding of the affairs of the servants in the mansion. Generally, servants who buy into the mansion will not Released so quickly.

"I wanted to come out and live a free life, so I begged my host family. They were good people, so they let me leave." Dong Jiafu omitted the most important reason.

Feng Jiyuan did not doubt that he was there, and said happily: "Fortunately, you met a good family."

Then he changed the subject, "It's not right for you to say that you have forgotten all the people and things in the past."

"Ah, where is not

correct? "Dong Jiafu was stunned.

"At least you still remember your name." Feng Jiyuan smiled.

Oops! Dong Jiafu's heart immediately rose. She was so careless that she didn't notice such a big flaw!
