A Niang said that the Lin family was an honest businessman and at most they would hold her hostage and wanted to get back the 200 taels from the Xu family. A Niang would definitely collect the 200 taels and redeem her. If Feng Baozhu refused to take it, she would go back to the He family for help and ask the He family to redeem her.

Ah Niang said that she was from the He family, and the He family was the in-laws of Lan County, and the Lin family didn't dare to do anything to her. If the Lin family dared to treat her badly, she could tell them who she was.

A'niang said that my cousin and my younger cousin had no one to rely on, and if they were taken away by the Lin family, my eldest aunt would not come forward to help.

A'niang also said that as long as she gave birth to a younger brother, the He family would forgive what they had done.

A Niang also said that she would protect her even at the risk of her death.

but.

She was taken away by the Lin family and sent to Chunfeng Garden. She said she was a member of the He family, but the younger brothers who were guarding her didn't believe her at all.

Still, no one came to redeem her.

At first, she thought that her aunt didn't have that much money, so A Niang had to go back to Shiliu Village for help, and the round trip would take time.

Later, she thought that her aunt and grandmother were angry with them for stealing the soap formula and returning to the Xu family, so they didn't care whether she was dead or alive.

But it didn't take long for her to realize that it was her mother who had deceived her from the very beginning.

Because she refused to accept the training of the madam in Chunfeng Garden, she was taught a lesson by Mr. Qian and several men from Chunfeng Garden. She could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide by hitting her head against a pillar. Unexpectedly, she did not die, but her soul returned to the year when she was thirteen years old from thirty or forty years later.

There was a severe drought in Yongning Prefecture that year.

Not long after the autumn harvest, the Western Rong people invaded, broke through Ningyuan County, and broke into Yongning Prefecture, causing unprecedented destruction and devastation to this land.

During this drought and war, her father died for his country, her mother committed suicide, her sister was abducted and stewed alive, and she herself ended up living in a brothel. Later, she was fortunate enough to be noticed and brought back to the capital, where she became a concubine of a wealthy official.

Because she suffered humiliation when she was young and was later tricked by her husband's first wife into having a miscarriage, she never had children again.

She was forced to fight back and gradually gained a foothold in the backyard. When she defeated all the women around him, she completely lost him and eventually grew old alone in the backyard.

Unexpectedly, when I opened my eyes again, I was already thirteen years old.

But the current development of things is different from that in the previous life.

The crown prince's eldest son did not have his arm broken, and he had a close relationship with his aunt. His father did not join the army to protect his uncle, and his mother did not have another miscarriage.

Everyone always thought that the mother was bullied by her grandmother, but she gradually revealed her hidden face and put her ugly and bloody face in front of everyone.

A Niang became the target of public criticism.

Many things are completely different.

She didn't have time to think about it, because she was imprisoned in Chunfengyuan, a place where people were eaten without leaving any bones. She had to find a way to escape and go to her aunt, where she could be rescued.

So, after she was reborn, she began to compromise and make allowances for humiliation so that the people in Chunfeng Garden would relax their vigilance towards her. Finally, she found an opportunity to escape from Chunfeng Garden, but she still alarmed the guards who were guarding the garden.

She knew she could only run.

Run as fast as you can.

Run hard.

Only by running to the county government office and meeting County Magistrate Feng and his aunt could she be rescued.

She didn't know that she, who was only thirteen years old, could actually run past the group of servants guarding the house and run to the vicinity of the county government office.

Fate still gave her a chance.

When she was almost exhausted, she met her aunt and father.

He Qingya looked at Xu Yushi, tears in her eyes but her heart was cold.

She said calmly, "Mother, you told me that the Lin family took me away so that I could work to pay off the debt. As long as they collected enough money, they could redeem me. But the Lin family sent me to another place, and you obviously know what kind of business the Lin family does."

"You told me that you would come to the Lan County government office to ask my aunt to save me. If she couldn't save me, you would go back to the He family for help. Because I am a girl from the He family, not a girl from the Xu family, the Lin family will not do anything to me in the end. You told me that as long as you beg the He family and my father, they will come to save me. But did you do it?"

"I was deceived. I am only a thirteen-year-old girl. I never thought that my mother would deceive me to go with the Lin family and settle the matter. Sir, I was young and ignorant and was deceived by my mother. As for whether my mother sold me on purpose, please investigate."

He Qingya wiped away her tears.

"My Lord, although it is unfilial to sue my mother, I am willing to be punished for my mother and tell the truth. My mother not only disobeyed my grandmother, but also deliberately jumped off the hillside to miscarry in order to control my grandmother so that she could blame my grandmother for treating her harshly."

"My mother was instigated by my grandmother to steal the recipe from my grandmother. My grandmother was the daughter of an imperial chef. Although she was exiled to Yongning Prefecture when she was a teenager, she was still a good cook. In order to get my grandmother's recipe, she even schemed against my father and ruined his original marriage to marry into the He family."

"Even this time I came to the Xu family, it was because my mother instructed me to use my sister to steal the soap-making process that our family relied on for survival. She wanted to help the Xu family make soap and make money."

"It's just that the autumn harvest is about to end, and my uncle has to serve in the military, so we need to find someone to replace him in advance. He can't bear the hardship of military service, so the Xu family didn't have time to make soap. So we sold the formula as soon as possible, got two hundred taels of silver from the Lin family, found someone to replace my uncle in the military, and gave money to my cousin to take the exam for the scholar in Kuncheng."

In He Qingya's memory,

Cousin Xuan will not be able to pass the imperial examination until the war is settled.

And he did pass the imperial examination, became a Jinshi, and finally became a minor official in Beijing.

After her cousin met her, he treated her very well.

It's a pity that he was just using her to help him gain a foothold in Beijing.

She just didn't want to face this.

Deep in her memory, she always stays on the year when her parents and sister died, and the year when she suffered in the brothel. She feels that all the suffering of her family was caused by the He family.

Hate the He family.

The long-lasting memories for the rest of my life beautify what the Xu family did.

It made her forget what kind of true nature her mother was, which she had accidentally discovered when she was a child.

Let her forget how hypocritical and disgusting the Xu family is.

Faced with He Qingya's defection and accusations, Xu Yushi simply couldn't believe it.

"Qingya, Qingya, I am your mother, how can you treat me like this? After your father and I divorced, you stayed in the He family, who would take care of you? A child without a mother is a weed. Don't listen to your aunt and grandmother's nice words, they won't take care of you. Ning Yuan would rather follow a beggar mother than a government official father, how could you not understand such a simple truth?"

Xiao Meng was also anxious.

"Qingya, we are not going to sell you, nor are we going to redeem you. It's just that Lan County has been in chaos recently, and we can't see your aunt. Your mother is pregnant, so it's not convenient for her to go back to Shiliu Village."

Old Master Xu, who had been silent the whole time, looked at Xu Yushi and said calmly, "Yu Niang, the soap formula was brought from the He family by you and Qingya. If you want to talk about responsibility, it's also yours. If it weren't for your guarantee, how could we sell the formula to the Lin family?"

"It was you who took the initiative to ask Qingya to pay off the debt. When the Lin family came to cause trouble, I asked you if we should go to the Feng family for help first. You said no, and that the matter could be settled by letting the Lin family take Qingya away, so we let the Lin family take Qingya away first. Why is it that now, Qingya and the He family want to sue us for forcing Qingya to sell?"

Hearing this, He Qiudi looked at Mr. Xu in surprise.

This is a master!

It turns out that the person with the most opinions in the Xu family is this old man Xu, who was said to be a coward and was so scared that he dared not take part in the imperial examination again!
