Chapter 463: The Heartless Regent King vs. the Scheming Princess 8
The little girl was also in great pain all over her body. She sat down beside Lu Zhihuan and sobbed softly, "Sister Wuwu, why are you so stupid? My life is as fragile as paper. It's not worth it."
Lu Zhihuan's eyes were also filled with tears, "Silly girl, who is more noble than who? Besides, you are still young... cough cough cough."
Xie Zhao quickly shifted his attention and listened to the conversation between the two.
Xiaocao shook her head and said, "Sister, you are the first person who is kind to me. I don't want anything to happen to you."
Lu Zhihuan did feel a little sorry for the little girl, and she touched her little head soothingly.
"Don't worry, I'll find a way to get you out. Promise me you won't commit suicide, okay?"
Xiaocao was a little surprised, "Sister, how did you know?" She knew that she didn't want to escape at all, but actually wanted to commit suicide.
"Sister saw the rope in your bag."
"Sister, wuwu... I'm afraid of dying in the house. No one will dare to live here anymore. It's better to die outside."
Lu Zhihuan reached out and wiped her tears. "Xiaocao is so kind, God will not fail to see it. We can definitely escape, so Xiaocao promised her sister not to give up her life easily."
Xiaocao nodded repeatedly, "Xiaocao always listens to her sister."
Lu Zhihuan continued: "Where is your home, and who else is there in your family?"
Xiaocao was silent for a moment before she said, "I live in Niujia Village, Linshan County. I have parents, an older brother, and a younger brother."
Lu Zhihuan could sense her disappointment and thought that her family must have sold her in.
"Don't worry, sister will send you back." She said this on purpose, otherwise how could she tell her tragic story to the parrot Xie Zhao.
Xiaocao lowered her head and said sullenly, "Xiaocao doesn't want to go back. Xiaocao wants to follow her sister and work like a slave for her in the future. As long as she doesn't mind, Xiaocao is willing to serve you for the rest of her life."
Lu Zhihuan sighed silently, "It seems that you and I are both miserable people."
Xiaocao then began to speak, "My parents only have eyes for my older brother and younger brother. Ever since I can remember, I've been responsible for all the hard work at home, washing clothes, cooking, and working in the fields, yet I'm never allowed to sit at the table for dinner.
This year, Linshan County suffered a severe drought, and my family was struggling to make ends meet. In order to get some food for my brothers... Xiaocao choked up, "My parents actually sold me to a brothel. I begged and cried all the way, but they didn't relent. Woo woo woo..."
Xie Zhao was also feeling unhappy. The food allocated in the past two months was far from enough to settle these trapped people.
[Natural disasters are more ferocious than tigers. Even with all your best plans, you can’t resist the ruthless and unforgiving nature.]
Lu Zhihuan tightened her cotton jacket, her tone full of melancholy, "My sister's life was even more difficult. I should have been a daughter of a wealthy family, but my mother and I were switched at birth.
When she was six years old, she was sold to a farmer's family as a child bride. The Lin family was considered wealthy in the village, with fields and houses.
Brother Zhong is a learned man who will take the imperial examinations in the future. I am filled with joy and am willing to be a maid for free.
Three years ago, he lived up to everyone's expectations and passed the imperial examination with one stroke. He even wrote to me, saying that once he settled down in the capital, he would bring me over to marry him.
Xie Zhao interrupted Lu Zhihuan.
[The top scholar from three years ago?]
[Lin? Lin something is Zhong!]
[Ben... I have some impression.]
The young emperor is only ten years old now. Three years ago, he was only seven years old. How could he handle state affairs? Wasn't it all decided by the regent?
Lu Zhihuan pretended to be naive and said to her in her arms, "Brother Zhong is the top scholar, it's not surprising that you know this."
Xiaocao didn't hear clearly and scratched her head in confusion, "Then why did my sister go to the brothel?"
Lu Zhihuan took a deep breath, his voice filled with self-mockery, "I've been waiting for three years. Not long ago, his mother sold me to a brothel without any warning.
What else is there to say? My existence will ruin his future." At this point, she sniffed, "I originally wanted to die, but I accidentally heard Mother Liu and the others say they were coming to the capital.
I thought that even if I got to the capital, I would definitely find a chance to escape and go find Brother Zhong."
She turned to the grass and smiled, "Look, even God is helping me. So I won't give up. I will definitely escape."
Xie Zhao listened silently. He had seen too many treacherous hearts, and now listening to the girl's sincerity, he was sure that she was being let down.
I couldn't help but sigh inwardly. [How naive.]
Lu Zhihuan lowered his head and snorted angrily.
Xie Zhao knew that she was not convinced.
[Three years have passed, and many things have changed.]
[Your mind is too simple.]
[The top high school student is still reluctant to take you to Beijing. There must be something fishy going on, yet you're still waiting so wholeheartedly.]
She said angrily, "Brother Zhong clearly told me to take good care of his mother, and he said he would marry me, and he will.
Aunt Lin had long since despised me and thought I wasn't worthy of Brother Zhong, so she sold me off while Brother Zhong wasn't back."
Xie Zhao sighed, "You believed such a vague promise."
Xiaocao thought Lu Zhihuan was talking to her, so she nodded in agreement and blew on her hands and rubbed them.
"That's right, my sister is so beautiful, which man would not like her?
It must be Aunt Lin who acted on her own initiative.
Oh, by the way, sister. You said you were a rich girl who was switched when you were little, so do you know who your biological parents are?"
Lu Zhihuan shook his head in disappointment. "I don't know. I don't have any birthmark or keepsake. I only know that she worked in that house and that her name was Fang Guixiang. I don't know anything else."
Enough had been revealed today, and if he had any snacks he could help her check it out.
Xie Zhao had indeed remembered it in his heart, [it wouldn't be difficult to find out.]
Lu Zhihuan yawned tiredly, "Xiaocao, we can stay together back to back, it will be warmer. If there is anything, let's talk about it after we wake up."
"Okay, Xiaocao, listen to your sister."
The two of them lay down back to back, and Lu Zhihuan secretly took out Xie Zhao.
He emerged from the handkerchief and stood in her palm. [How are your injuries?]
Lu Zhihuan shook his head.
[Put me down and I'll look around.]
Lu Zhihuan put him down, and he quietly walked towards the door, observing the outside through the narrow crack in the door and the faint moonlight.
[There is no one guarding outside.]
He looked up and saw that the door was locked.
Lu Zhihuan stared in his direction, and suddenly a big black rat came into view.
"Fuck, be careful!"
Xie Zhao also noticed it. He turned his head and saw a rat with green eyes running towards him.
Xie Zhao flapped his wings hurriedly and flew towards Lu Zhihuan.
Lu Zhihuan was also afraid that he would be eaten by the big rat, so he quickly got up and caught the flying parrot Xie Zhao.
The movement was too big and she took a breath in pain.
Xiao Cao quickly stood up when she heard the noise, "What happened, sister?"
Lu Zhihuan quickly opened his collar and stuffed Xie Zhao in.
Xie Zhao: “…”
[No obstruction this time!]
