After picking up a system

Ling Han: You seem disdainful?

Chiyi: Haha.

Chi Yi closed the connection between each other.

……

Xiao Xing was Ling's mother's loyal maid until her only family member was threatened.

A few months ago, the second uncle of the Ling family brought his only brother to him. From that moment on, loyalty or not no longer mattered.

She tried her best not to do anything wrong, and the second uncle of the Ling family only asked her to report the itinerary of the head and his wife, no matter how big or small.

It was not until she came back from an outing with the master and his wife that she heard that the young lady had been tricked into the heart of the vampire clan. Then she knew that she had become an accomplice.

She also thought about reminding the Lings, but Ling's mother's other maid Xinyuan was already the second uncle's woman. She didn't dare to, because she was a timid person.

……

On this day, the eldest uncle of the Ling family found her and told her the secret code set by the second uncle of the Ling family!

Before she could be shocked, he gave Xiao Xing a new task. He asked Xiao Xing to light a kind of incense in Ling's mother's room. Xiao Xing didn't know what this incense was for. Xiao Xing didn't dare to ask.

A week had passed since Ling's mother came back from the town, and the incense had been used for a week. When the incense was first lit, Chi Yi replaced it with a normal incense with the same fragrance.

Xinyuan gave the second uncle of the Ling family a new piece of information, that the head and his wife often went to the utility room. What was in the utility room that allowed them to go in and out so frequently?

The second uncle of the Ling family asked Xiao Xing to go and check. Xiao Xing was very timid, and she was really scared to go alone to the utility room, a place where all kinds of ghosts appeared in legends.

But Xinyuan was treated preferentially because she provided the information, and there was no better candidate than her.

Because of Ling Motong's incident, the Ling couple became wary, and no one knew about Qu Yan's affairs except themselves.

Even those they have already decided in their hearts that they trust 100% don't know.

But how can two people ensure that they can hide a vampire?

……

It is noon now. Ling's father has gone out to work and has not returned yet. Ling's mother is having lunch. Xiao Xing left the restaurant on the pretext of feeling unwell.

Ling's father ordered more guards to be added, but every mansion has some deserted blind spots.

There are several utility rooms, and the one that Ling's father and mother often come to is a dead corner.

Although it was noon, Xiao Xing was naturally scared of such a place.

She dodged and avoided all the way and was so nervous that she broke out in a cold sweat. It was approaching winter and although the sun was strong, it was extremely cold in the shadow of the house.

A gust of wind blew by, and Xiao Xing shivered. She tightly grasped the cloth bag hanging around her waist, which contained various evil-repelling items she had bought. It seemed that holding it tightly would protect her.

The door of the utility room was locked, and there was a small wooden window next to it. She slowly moved to the window, which seemed to have been opened recently, and could not be completely closed because it had been in disrepair for a long time.

Slowly, she put her hand on the window, touched the window with her fingertips and pushed it open. She watched the window rise little by little until she could see the whole interior.

She breathed a sigh of relief, there was nothing inside, and she told what she saw to the second uncle of the Ling family. But this answer obviously made the second uncle of the Ling family very dissatisfied. If there was really nothing, then why did the head of the family and his wife have to go to the utility room?

Although they already have many spies in the Ling family, it is not impossible for Ling's father and mother to talk away from their ears.

……

When Xiao Xing got the reply that she would go to the utility room again, she was puzzled. She asked why, and the person who delivered the message looked down on her from top to bottom.

Xiao Xing lowered her head, and the messenger left with satisfaction. She didn't dare to resist someone who was higher in rank than her, even by a little bit.

I am already in a low position, but I still look down on those who are lower than me. This seems to be an unwritten chain of contempt. The weak also accept being looked down upon.

……

When war breaks out between countries, it is often the people who suffer.

Xu Muqing fled to other countries with her mother, and her mother sold her to an old wealthy man in order to have food to eat.

Although the country was affected by the war, people still lived a normal and stable life. Just like the old rich man Lin Yan, who was over 60 years old, he lived a wealthy life by hiring labor and collecting rent from his ancestral land.

His legal wife died when he was forty years old. Although she had no control over the old rich man when she was still alive, this did not prevent Lin Yan from becoming even more vicious in harming young girls in the days that followed.

For some people, it can be said that they are willing to get what they want, but because of frequent wars, more people are cannibalized.

Lin Jin had some shameful habits, which were far from his friendly appearance. People who knew him well would look favorably upon their daughters, but some strangers were easily deceived by his superficial appearance.

Perhaps there really were parents who sold their daughters to Lin Yan with the sincere hope that their daughters would be treated well and have a good life. Xu Muqing's mother was one of them.

But they don’t know that they have sent their own flesh and blood to hell, and no one will tell them.

Xu Muqing was taken to a room and locked up, and her mother had already left with the money.

Perhaps they felt they had complete control over the girls; they did not keep a close eye on them, and most of the girls did not dare to resist, or even have such a thought.

But Xu Muqing was different. The person next to her in the room was raped by Lin Yan today. She listened to the unbearable noises coming from next door and the girl's heart-wrenching pleas for mercy.

She only felt that her mother pushed her into a pit of fire, but she escaped unscathed. At this time, she had completely forgotten that her whole family treated her like a treasure before she escaped, and her mother protected her everywhere after she escaped. This time, she just hoped that she could live a better life.

Xu Muqing and several girls around her tried to leave here together, but they were all very hesitant. So Xu Muqing found the girl next door who had not gotten out of bed for three days. The girl's name was Yu Ke, and she was only 18 years old. Xu Muqing persuaded her, so Yu Ke decided to leave here with Xu Muqing after recovering from her injuries.

Because she had satisfied Lin Yan several times, there were many valuable things placed in the room. Xu Muqing discussed with Yu Ke about selling all these things as travel expenses.

Yu Ke agreed easily because of the contrast between other people's discrimination and Xu Muqing's intimacy. So Xu Muqing moved the things in the girl's room out bit by bit and sold them. She divided the money into two halves, giving half to the girl and keeping the other half for herself.

All she had been thinking about from the beginning to the end was escaping, so she left some money for herself to ensure that she would have no worries.
