Hongli would not allow anyone to follow him and walked alone under the moon. The intoxicating evening breeze made him feel particularly comfortable. As he became drunk, he gradually lost track of where he was walking.

I saw a courtyard in front of me with the gate wide open. A beautiful shadow was cast through the window lattice, which aroused my interest in exploring.

The woman heard the noise, looked up and saw the drunk man approaching, and she couldn't help but tremble with fear. She was beautiful and unparalleled, with bright eyes and white teeth, but her eyes were filled with panic, like a frightened deer under an arrow.

This kind of broken feeling that makes people want to hug for comfort is a style that Hongli has never seen. At this moment, Hongli does not want to know who she is, he just wants to possess the beauty in front of him.

Hongli pressed Hailan down and pressed forward. The tearing pain under her body made Hailan scream. The scream stimulated Hongli, and he received even more pain in response.

Hailan struggled desperately for help, but no one answered her calls. Despair slowly invaded her like the water of the doomsday.

Hailan was born a slave, was timid and didn't know how to socialize, so she was ignored and excluded by everyone. Today, the sisters in the embroidery workshop gathered in the veranda to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. I couldn't join them, so I might as well rush to work in the embroidery workshop.

She didn't expect that she would meet a lecher. She felt that her life was over.

Wang Qin rushed to help Hongli deal with the mess. Hai Lan didn't know how to deal with it and could only wait for Hongli to sober up.

When Hongli woke up, he thought of Li Jingui and felt a huge sense of shame. However, sometimes when people realize that they have made a mistake, they don't think about making up for it, but about covering it up.

Hai Lan, who was favored by the prince, was forgotten in the embroidery workshop. At first, everyone wanted her to soar to the sky and flattered her. After a few days, seeing that the prince did not make any move, they began to intensify their quarrels.

When they worked during the day, Hailan had to serve them tea and water. When they worked at night, Hailan had to hold a candlestick and wait on them. After work, Hailan had to wash their clothes and bring them water for washing their feet.

Qing Gege liked to wear dark-colored clothes with dark embroidery. If anyone was assigned to do Qing Gege's work, they would pinch her a few times to vent their anger when they were unhappy.

It was already freezing at night, and Hailan, who was splashed with foot washing water, was chilled to the bone by the night wind. The bowl of white rice in front of her had dried up when she finished all the work, and she could barely eat it after her salty tears flowed down.

As autumn turned to winter, Hailan had lost track of how many days she had been abused. On this day, she was sent to deliver clothes to Qing Gege of Aoxueyuan. Hailan could only do the most menial work in the embroidery workshop and was not qualified to meet nobles. However, Qing Gege was stingy and never gave her any reward. Everyone in the mansion knew about it, so this errand fell on Hailan.

After delivering the clothes, Hailan walked out of Qingying's yard. She was exhausted from the whole day's hard work. When the midday sun scorched her, she collapsed in front of the gate of Aoxue Courtyard.

Seeing that she was really pitiful, Suoxin asked Qingying to arrange for her to live in a side hospital and invited a palace doctor to treat her.

The doctor left two prescriptions and left after being dizzy from excessive fatigue. Hailan was still haunted by nightmares of abuse and bullying in her coma. She was anxious not to be late, so she woke up after an incense stick of time.

Looking at the beautiful princess with a gentle smile in front of her, Hailan thought that she must be a kind person because she saved her once. She wondered if she could save her completely. She didn't want to be a prince's wife, as long as she could have a job and live the rest of her life in peace.

Thinking of this, Hailan struggled to get up, kowtowed heavily to Qingying, and cried, "Please, please let me work in the courtyard. I am willing to work like a cow or a horse to repay you."

Qingying spoke softly in a hoarse voice: "What's your name? Why do you want to work in my courtyard?"

Hai Lan couldn't bring herself to talk about what happened that day, so she only told Qingying her name and that she was ostracized in the embroidery workshop.

Because惢心 and Li Yu, who was beside Hongli, were from the same hometown, the moment Hai Lan said her name, Qingying knew why she was being abused by everyone.

Oh, a lowly servant, seducing Brother Hongli to become the master, but unfortunately Brother Hongli didn't like her, and she was rejected after just one night. It's inevitable that servants will be beaten and scolded. After being excluded for a few days, she actually became restless again and wanted to get closer to the master.

The curve of her mouth remained unchanged, but the smile in her eyes faded. "Everyone in the embroidery workshop loves to torture you, so they will not let you get too seriously injured or die. Just wait a moment, and when I find a chance, I will rescue you from the embroidery workshop."

Hai Lan waited for Qingying's assurance. Seeing hope again, she felt that the pain in her body was relieved. She kowtowed deeply to Qingying before leaving.

The warm sun of the winter afternoon shines on her, it's so nice, she can finally see such good sunshine again.

Qingying asked Aruo to take the silver to the embroidery workshop to take care of the management. Suo Xin was puzzled as to why the princess became so generous. It turned out that she had misunderstood her master before, and she was really a kind girl.

Suo Xin was even more moved. When A Ruo saw Qingying's cold eyes and abnormal behavior, how could she not understand her true thoughts.

She grew up with Gege, understood her possessiveness towards Prince Bao, and knew what kind of people she didn't like. With just one look from Qingying, she understood what Qingying meant by scheming.

Over the years, Gege has become closer and closer to Suo Xin because she knows her too well. She understands her inner thoughts behind her faint smile, and her desire for fame and fortune behind her calmness. The person who knows you best cannot be your closest person.

A rat in the gutter turned into a phoenix on a golden branch. What she hated most was the rat who lived with her. Every time she saw her, she would think of her own miserable past.

Arruo sighed as she walked along the path in the mansion. She walked very slowly on purpose. A young life might be buried in this deep courtyard. However, no matter how long the road is, it always has an end.

Ever since returning from Qinggege's courtyard that day, Hailan felt like a drowning person. Every time she emerged with hope, she was pushed back into the water by wave after wave of malice.

Originally it was just the bullying from the embroiderers who asked them to do more work, but now even the manager is torturing himself.

She was forced to kneel and get beaten every day. She used to be an embroiderer with superb embroidery skills, but now her hands were pierced by needles and stepped on by people, and she couldn't see what she used to look like. Every day she didn't know if she could live to see Qing Gege come and save her.

Hailan, exhausted and hurt, had just fallen asleep when she heard a commotion in the courtyard. Without knowing what was going on, she was escorted into the courtyard by two eunuchs who broke into the courtyard.

"How dare you, you bold servant, steal the charcoal?" the steward shouted sternly.

Although Hailan had been tortured to the point of numbness, she did not want to die with the blame on her shoulders. Hailan, who was not good at arguing, knelt in the snow and did not know how to explain herself. She could only repeat that she did not steal.

The steward received orders from the nobleman and wanted to finish Hailan off today, so he would not allow her to argue. "Come here, give this slave a Lotus Step by Step, and see if she still dares to talk back."

Hai Lan was held down by four young eunuchs. The moment her shoes and socks were taken off, she closed her eyes and thought that this was how her life would be. She would not be able to wait for Princess Qing.

"I didn't know that this Prince Bao's mansion is now run by Steward Fang."
