After hearing this, Lianqiu's expression changed and she quietly raised her eyes to look at Mo Qin.
"Gangsters? Did the young lady get hurt? Did those gangsters offend the young lady in any way?"
Thinking that Miss Cai had not allowed him to take a bath, Lian Qiu was even more worried. Could it be that those gangsters had insulted her...
Mo Qin sat on the couch and stretched out his hands to knead his sore legs.
Although the original owner was the daughter of a general, she only learned what ordinary women in the dynasty learned in the boudoir. She did not know how to dance with a gun or a stick, and she was just a delicate girl.
His father favored sons over daughters. Although the original owner's mother was the head wife, she only gave birth to a daughter and was left out. However, the concubines who gave birth to sons were prosperous.
This is why Mo Qin has been back for so long and no one has come to see her.
No one cares about her at all. Isn't she still alive?
Mo Qin raised his eyes and glanced at the maid in front of the bed. She was more afraid than worried.
afraid of what? Afraid of punishment?
"It's okay. I took advantage of the chaos and ran away. It was a long way and it started raining halfway, so I came back late."
She couldn't help but urge, "Go and tell your mother quickly and ask her to send someone to find Nian Xia."
Lianqiu took a few more glances before leaving with a little hesitation, "Yes."
-
"Madam, Miss, she didn't ask me to take a bath, and I don't know if she did..."
Lianqiu knelt on the ground, crouching low and still shaking a little.
"Are her clothes intact? Is there anything wrong with her walking?"
The general's wife frowned, her face full of displeasure.
"The lady's clothes are intact, there are only a few small scratches, and she can walk normally. But... the lady kept pressing her legs after taking a bath, saying that her legs were sore."
The general's wife was slightly relieved after hearing this.
"Okay, go back, don't kneel here and be an eyesore. I will send someone to find that girl Nian Xia, so that she can serve your lady well. If this happens again, I will sell you out!"
"Yes, thank you Madam for your mercy!"
Lianqiu kowtowed twice and retreated.
Seeing Lianqiu running out as if she had seen a ghost, the general's wife showed a trace of disgust in her eyes.
Why did she give birth to a girl?
If it weren't for the fact that she was injured by a concubine when she was pregnant with Mo Qin, and it was difficult to get pregnant again after giving birth to Mo Qin, how could she be rejected by the general?
She also felt disgusted with this daughter who had fallen out of favor.
If a daughter has no peace of mind at home, why should she run outside all day long?
Fortunately, nothing happened this time. Otherwise, where would the general's face be?
At this time, Mrs. Mo's personal maid came in from outside, with a distressed look on her face:
"Madam, please rest early. Don't wait any longer."
Mrs. Mo's eyes dimmed with hope, but she still asked without giving up:
"Where will the general stay today?"
"The general has gone to Aunt Liu's place."
Aunt Liu is also one of the concubines who gave birth to a son. Her son has just turned five this year and is the youngest son of the general.
Mrs. Mo looked sad, complaining more and more about her lack of success.
The general has been fighting for many years and is used to seeing life and death. He attaches great importance to heirs and wants to have successors to the general's palace.
As long as they are sons, he attaches great importance to them and teaches them all personally. As for his daughters, they are all going to be married off anyway, so what's the use of them?
Somehow, the three-bedroom concubine in the backyard gave birth to four children, all of whom were sons, but she gave birth to a daughter.
It’s unlucky to think about it.
-
Mo Qin also knew the reason from the memory of the original owner.
She had no extra thoughts about the original owner's parents.
She could not correct the deep-rooted prejudice of favoring boys over girls. As for Mrs. Mo, she blamed the mistake on the original owner. The original owner was so innocent. Was it her fault that she was born a girl?
This is not a choice she can make.
Those two maids were both Mrs. Mo's people, and their marriage contracts were in Mrs. Mo's hands.
Mrs. Mo was not happy with the original owner, and the two maids did not have much sincerity towards the original owner.
These days, life is important.
After Lianqiu came back, Mo Qin asked her a few casual questions and let her go down.
Only then did Mo Qin begin to accept the plot.
The original owner did not successfully escape during this kidnapping, and it was already two days later when she was found.
Although the folk customs in the dynasty were relatively open at that time, even if they were open again, no one would think too much about the beautiful little girl who was kidnapped by bandits for two days.
Coupled with the spreading of the news by thoughtful people, the whole capital knew about it.
The original owner's reputation was damaged. The original owner, who had just reached the age of marriage, instantly lost value.
People with a similar family background who previously wanted to marry the original owner were deterred, but the original owner didn't care because she already had her heart set on her.
While people outside were still discussing the fact that the original owner was kidnapped by bandits, the original owner secretly ordered someone to deliver a letter to King Zunyi, Jun Chen, the male protagonist of this world.
The words in the letter sincerely stated that she was still innocent. Jun Chen believed her and even comforted and enlightened her in the letter.
Jun Chen's attitude undoubtedly gave the original owner a reassurance.
The relationship between the two is as good as ever.
Half a year later, after the incident was completely over, Jun Chen married the original owner as his wife.
Although some unpleasant episodes occurred during this period, it did not prevent the two from getting married.
Everyone was talking about this matter, and it seemed that the prince with crippled legs and the young lady from the general's mansion who had lost his reputation were not a bad match.
Many people laughed at it before and after the marriage, but the original owner felt very happy because she married the person she loved.
In addition, Jun Chen's legs are disabled and there are no concubines in the backyard. There is no need for a house fight, not to mention how happy he is.
It wasn't until one day that the original owner accidentally bumped into Jun Chen and his cousin Liang Yubing having an affair in the study room that he woke up from his sweet dream.
After being discovered, the two of them had no intention of covering up.
The original owner was sad for a few days and could only pretend to be generous and help her husband take a concubine, Xu Liang Yubing took the position of concubine.
Liang Yubing, the heroine of the world, refused.
But the affair between the two did not stop, but became more open.
The original owner was depressed and her health deteriorated from then on. Just when she was sad for spring and autumn, the emperor died.
The emperor was originally Jun Chen's nephew, with a violent temper and no concubines. With no successor, Jun Chen succeeded in ascending the throne.
Not only did he succeed in ascending to the throne, but his disabled legs were also cured.
I heard that it was Liang Yubing who cured her. This was a great achievement and of course she would be rewarded.
Jun Chen was very generous and directly awarded the position of queen to Liang Yubing.
Only then did the original owner understand that Liang Yubing refused to be a concubine at that time. She just didn't want to be a concubine and wanted to be the main palace.
As for the original owner, how can a woman whose reputation has been tarnished and suddenly found unable to conceive be worthy of being the mother of a country?
Jun Chen casually gave her the title of concubine and then threw her into the harem, completely forgetting about her as a person.
The original owner couldn't bear the blow and soon died.
Many years later, Jun Chen recalled the turbulent years when he seized the throne. The figure of the original owner flashed by, and then he looked at the old people around him who were already old and beautiful. A ripple inevitably appeared in his heart. After all, it was really true at that time. I've been moved.
