At this time, Song Huan's parents were pinned to the ground and they realized they were scared. They quickly begged for mercy in a low voice, "Master, please spare us! We don't dare to do it anymore."
After saying this, they immediately asked Song Huan for help, "Girl Huan! Please speak a word for us!"
Song Huan just looked at them silently. The people in front of her were her parents who gave birth to her. They gave her life, but they did not give her the rights of a human body. He is not a human being, but seems to be their private property.
The last time I was sold, it actually had something to do with them. If they hadn't coveted the two copper coins, they wouldn't have encountered this.
However, after they were betrayed and escaped last time, they still didn't reflect at all this time.
She was truly disappointed in them.
Obviously she is also the child of her parents, why does she have to be the first to be abandoned and the first to be sacrificed every time.
When Song Huan looked away, he said nothing. Mother Song anxiously said to Song Huan, "Girl Huan, do you still have a conscience? Do you really want to see your parents being imprisoned?"
Hearing Song's mother's words, Song Huan finally turned around, with tears streaming down her eyes, "Mom, daddy, this is the last time I call you. You always say that I have no conscience, and you always say that I don't do enough! But apart from giving birth to me and giving me a bite to eat, what else did you give me?"
"Obviously I was sold to the Qiang Desert because of you, and I went through all kinds of hardships to escape. Uncle Lu even lost his life because of me. But what about you, you still want to sell me a second time! Just so that my brother can get married! My brother and I are both your children. My brother has eaten the best since he was a child and wears the latest clothes. I eat what he doesn’t want and wear his old clothes. You always say that you gave birth to me. It’s not easy, let me repay you. But my brother was also born to you, but you never mentioned this. Why? Is it because I am a girl? So I deserve to be sacrificed? Should I be your slave when I am born? ?”
After being questioned by Song Huan's words, the Song family didn't know whether they realized their mistake or felt embarrassed. They just lowered their heads for a moment. The neighbors couldn't help but criticize the Song family.
After all, it is rare for the Song family to favor boys over girls.
"Huan'er, mother knows she was wrong. Let's stop making trouble, okay? Mother will never be like this again. We are a family after all. We should talk to each other if we have anything to say." Mother Song begged.
However, facing Mother Song's plea, Song Huan wiped away her tears, and then solemnly said, "No! If I don't make it clear in front of my neighbors now, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to say this again."
After saying this, Song Huan quickly took out a pair of scissors. She put the scissors against her throat and said, "Isn't it fate? If I had known that I was destined to not receive the care of my parents when I was born, I would have I will not come to this world. But I don’t know anything. Since you said this life is yours, then I will give it back to you today!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Song Huan was about to take action, but she just held up the scissors and was about to stab her own throat with the scissors.
Mother Song only called out in shock and fear, "Girl Huan! Don't be stupid."
Fortunately, after she took out the scissors, Zhao Yanzhen noticed the current situation.
Therefore, before Song Huan could insert the scissors into his throat, Zhao Yanzhen had already signaled to the secret guard beside him to lift Song Huan's scissors away.
As the scissors clattered to the ground, Mother Song was heard wailing, and she quickly said, "Girl Huan, don't do anything stupid. I won't force you again."
After all, there was some emotion. After Song's mother said this, she quickly pushed Song Huan's father, "Old man, you should say something."
However, Father Song, who was pushed, remained silent.
Song Huan was not surprised by this, although she and her mother were always the ones who argued openly.
But in fact, the person behind these things every time is his father.
Song Huan just whispered, "Stop talking, don't you want money? I will use money to redeem my freedom for the rest of my life, and I will have nothing to do with you anymore. Tell me! How much do you want?"
Hearing this, Mother Song said quickly, "Girl Huan! How can you say that? How can the blood relationship be severed?"
"Why can't we cut off
, when I was in Qiangmo, did you ever think about my life or death? When you sold me for those two copper coins, didn't you already tacitly agree that anyone can buy me away? Why can Zhang San buy me and Li Si sell me, but I just want to redeem myself? After all, whose money is not money? "
Hearing Song Huan's accusations, Song's mother's face only felt hot. On the contrary, Song's father had a gloomy face. Just when Song Huan thought he might not speak, Song's father suddenly said, "Since she has strong wings, If she wants to fly away, then let her fly, and I will pretend that I don’t have this daughter.”
"Old man, are you crazy?" Song's mother stared at her wife beside her in disbelief.
But Song's father ignored Mother Song's fuss. He only whispered, "Thirty taels of silver, if you can take it out now, we will never care about you again."
Just when Song Huan was stunned, Zhao Yanzhen on the side suddenly said hello for Song Huan, and then he ordered someone to hand a silver bag of one tael to Song's father and said, "Here are two, which is a full two more than what you said." Twelve taels, these extra twenty taels are used to buy Miss Song's peace here. Without her permission, you can't make trouble with her in the future."
After hearing what Zhao Yanzhen said, he weighed the money in the bag again. ..
Then Father Song just said "Hello" expressionlessly.
When Zhao Yanzhen saw that the matter was resolved smoothly, he naturally signaled to the county magistrate that he no longer had to escort them.
After the people dispersed, Song Huan followed Zhao Yanzhen and said, "Your Highness, how can I take your money? I will save this money slowly and return it to you later."
Hearing Song Huan's words, Zhao Yanzhen suddenly said, "This money is yours, I just spent it for you first."
Hearing this, Song Huan was stunned for a moment, "What is my money? I have never seen such a large sum of money in my life."
"It's not obvious now. When you brought back information from the Qiang Desert, you should have received a large reward. However, because we had to paralyze the other thieves at that time, we never mentioned it. We will deal with the follow-up matters later. I went to find you, but I didn’t expect that you would encounter something like this.”
Hearing Zhao Yanzhen's words, Song Huan finally understood. Then she waved her hands and said, "Well, I don't need to reward you. I think anyone would make such a choice in that situation, let alone this one." Uncle Lu obtained the information at the cost of his life, how dare I take credit for it? His Highness should give it to Uncle Lu if he wants a generous reward."
Hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen only said softly, "This is natural. We have found the bodies of him and his daughter in a mass grave near the Voodoo tribe. After a while, we will bury them with military honors. Their contribution It will always be remembered by Guanyuan Town, and your contribution should not be erased."
"Didn't you always ask me to change my surname to Lu? Now the county government has agreed. This is the county government's consent. From now on, your surname will be Lu, and you are Uncle Lu's other daughter."
Hearing this, Song Huan was just excited. After all, she had wanted to succeed the Lu family and continue to exist. One of the reasons was naturally to get rid of her parents. The second reason was naturally because the Lu family had no heirs now, and Uncle Lu wanted to save herself. Even if she died, she would naturally want to do something for Uncle Lu.
However, there are no descendants in their family, so the only things they can do are these things.
"Your Highness, I would also like to thank you and Captain Chen! If you have any instructions in the future, I, Lu Huan, will do my best." Song Huan said with great gratitude.
Zhao Yanzhen just responded noncommittally.
After all, he was going back to Beijing soon. Not to mention waiting for Song Huan to do something for him, he was afraid that he would never set foot in Guanyuan Town again in his life.
In the capital, Prince Jin's Mansion was full of joy during this period, and he became a favorite among visitors from all walks of life. However, Jiang Nianjiao only continued to maintain a non-committal attitude towards those who came to win over her.
However, after hearing the news that Zhao Yanzhen not only did not have any accidents, but also made great achievements, Jiang Nianjiao was happy and worried at the same time.
She was happy that Zhao Yanzhen was still alive. After all, before this, she had always thought that Zhao Yanzhen was dead. Although she didn't feel very sad at that time, something seemed to be missing from her heart. She just felt that her whole heart was empty. Now that he is still alive and there is still a day to see him again, she is naturally happy.
Just at the same time she
I was also very worried. After all, now was the critical period for proposing candidates for the crown prince. If Zhao Yanzhen had come back later, Zhao Nianze would have been the candidate with an absolute advantage. However, he is back, and he has made such great contributions on the front line, so in terms of qualifications, he definitely has enough merits, and with this news, other forces from the old family will inevitably move closer to him.
But this will definitely threaten Zhao Nianze's status. Although Zhao Nianze may not take action against his brother, this does not mean that the people under Zhao Nianze will not take action. What's more, Emperor Yong may not want his son to be alive. Bar.
And it was this that only made Jiang Nianjiao worried about what accident Zhao Yanzhen would encounter on the road.
And her worries were indeed not unnecessary at all.
In fact, Zhao Yanzhen suffered an assassination before setting off.
At nightfall, Zhao Yanzhen left the Chen Mansion hall with staggering steps.
Since he was leaving to return to Beijing tomorrow, Captain Chen specially held a banquet at his residence to see Zhao Yanzhen off.
Zhao Yanzhen was naturally reluctant to refuse the appointment, and at this time, he didn't know whether it was because the wine in Guanyuan Town was too strong, or because he was already too drunk. He only had a few drinks at the table, and he seemed to be a little drunk.
