"Dad, is what Zhuzhu said true?"
"……no."
For some reason, Taishi Ni subconsciously denied it with a guilty conscience.
He felt that something was wrong with both his daughters today. In the past, even if they were dissatisfied with his decision, they would just cry and go on a hunger strike to protest like his wife. Today, it was strange that one of them dared to reveal his thoughts to his face. It was so embarrassing that one dared to question him face to face.
It was completely turned upside down. After denying it, Taishi Ni felt that he couldn't save his face, and couldn't help but get angry: "With or without her, she shouldn't have verbally insulted me, my father, and you. What does it mean to ask so many questions one after another? You still have this in your eyes." Do you have me as your father?"
After the youngest daughter said the words "selling a daughter for glory", Master Ni knew that the Ninth Prince's matter was not going to happen. Even if he was shameless, the Ninth Prince would do it and he would never accept his youngest daughter as his concubine again.
It is precisely because of this that Master Ni is so angry.
"Did dad ever take care of our two daughters?"
At this moment, Miss Ni was filled with anger and dissatisfaction with the father in front of her. She felt that a hot flame exploded in her heart, which gave her great courage.
My father is a man of bad faith and has a weak concept of family affection. I am afraid that in his eyes, the two daughters combined are not as important as his promotion and wealth.
She had to rush forward to protect her sister.
Grand Master Ni stared angrily: "I am your father, how can I harm you? Since you are so ignorant, get out of the house and make a living on your own if you can."
"Master, I don't want it. Feng'er and Zhu'er are both very weak young ladies. How can they still survive after leaving the house?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ni and Mrs. Wang couldn't help but threw themselves in front of Master Ni, crying and begging him not to drive their two daughters out.
"They dared to join forces to contradict me today. It shows that they don't take me as a father seriously at all. What are you leaving them to do at home? It's better to fight them out and fend for themselves."
Master Ni stared at his two daughters coldly. He wanted to see if they would let go of the beautiful life in the Master's Mansion?
If you are reluctant and don't have the guts to leave, then just stay in the Grand Master's Mansion and follow his arrangements.
Otherwise, he wouldn't mind letting the two of them die of illness. Anyway, even if he didn't have these two legitimate daughters, he still had a bunch of concubines born to several concubines. Although they were not as eye-catching in appearance as these two daughters, they were all pretty. Regardless of her beauty, she can still be used to marry those high-ranking officials.
As for the Eleventh Prince, that is already a useless move, and it doesn't matter whether they marry or not.
Because not long ago, the Eleventh Prince did not know what kind of evil he had done. He actually contradicted the emperor and was severely reprimanded by the Emperor on the spot. He also planned to have the clan government deprive the Eleventh Prince of his royal title. It was because of this that Taishi Ni was so impatient that he wanted to let Xiao Xiao The daughter was given birth to the Ninth Prince.
In the end, both moves were dead ends.
Miss Ni and Miss Ni Er, who struggled to get up from the bench, looked at each other. Both of them had a ball of fire shining in their eyes, which was the yearning for freedom and resistance to fate.
The meaning of his father's words was very clear. If he chose to stay in the Grand Master's Mansion and live a life of fine clothing and fine food, he would have to accept his arrangements and no longer have any resistance.
If she chooses to run away from home, she will no longer be Taishi Ni's daughter, and he will no longer care whether she is dead or alive.
Whether to go or stay, the two of them quickly made a choice. No matter how difficult it was to survive outside, even if they had three simple meals a day, at least they were free physically and mentally, and they lived by their own hands. But they felt like this The days are more exciting.
So what if she never marries for the rest of her life? Who stipulates that women must rely on men to survive.
As long as the two sisters are together, even if they endure hardships, they still feel that life is sweet.
"Okay, Zhuzhu and I choose to leave."
Miss Ni and Miss Ni both stepped forward to bid farewell to their father: "Thank you very much for your father's upbringing over the years. My daughters have nothing to repay and only pray for their father's health and longevity."
"Go away quickly."
Master Ni was unmoved, but Mrs. Wang cried even harder: "My poor daughter, why are you so stupid?"
"Mom, how about... you come with us?"
Their mother is too soft-tempered and only cries when something happens. Even the aunts in the house dare to dominate her.
The sisters were really worried about leaving her in the house.
"Ah -" Mrs. Wang immediately stopped crying and wrung the handkerchief in her hands in a daze: "Your father and I are one and the same. I...I can't leave with you."
"Take care, mother."
Miss Ni and Miss Ni Er knew that their mother was worried and that their mother would suffer hardship if she followed them, so they no longer pressed for it.
"You can leave my Taishi Mansion, but except for the clothes you are wearing, you cannot take anything else with you, not even a single stitch."
Master Ni ordered the women to come forward and take off all the jewelry, sachets, and jade pendants from their bodies.
Miss Ni, also known as Ni Sifeng, and Miss Ni Zhuzhu were very cooperative and allowed the women to take away the valuable objects and jewelry from their bodies.
Since he was leaving the Grand Master's Mansion, he naturally couldn't take anything from the Grand Master's Mansion.
The two sisters walked out of the Taishi's Mansion hand in hand, face to face, feeling light all over their bodies, and the sense of depression and powerlessness dissipated.
The two sisters looked at each other and smiled again, and Zhuzhu was the first to speak: "Sister, where are we going?"
"Where do you want to go?" Ni Sifeng asked.
Zhuzhu racked her brains and thought for a while before saying: "I heard that Mr. Shu said that there are immortals on Dongjun Mountain. Why don't we go to find the immortals?"
"Immortal?" Ni Sifeng didn't believe it, "That's a random fabrication by storytellers. There are no immortals in the world."
"What if it really does happen!" Zhuzhu felt a surge of pride in her heart, "Even if it doesn't happen, it would be nice to go to Dongjun Mountain for a trip. People often say that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Think of it as growth. I’ve seen it.”
"Okay, we can go wherever Zhuzhu wants to go."
The two sisters have lived the life of purdah girls for more than ten years without even leaving the capital. Now that they have the opportunity to go out for a walk, it is a mistake.
It's just that the family is poor and has a rich life, and both of them are women who have no means to restrain themselves. They can't move without money, and they will get themselves into trouble.
The sisters hadn't figured out how to make money yet. Wang and the Ninth Prince, who heard about it from somewhere, secretly sent servants to each give them a bag of silver.
But they were all rejected by the sisters.
Since I promised not to take any money from the Taishi Mansion, I can no longer accept any money from my mother.
As for the Ninth Prince.
They didn't know what the prince's purpose was, but subconsciously they didn't want to deal with such a resourceful and powerful person.
But no money means no place to live, and no food to eat.
The two sisters were unwilling to give in. No matter how sad they were, even if they could only stay in the woodshed of Longyue Temple outside the city, they never thought of returning to the Taishi Mansion and bowing their heads to their father to admit their mistakes.
Probably there is no end to the road. The next day, Ni Sifeng found a job as an embroiderer in an embroidery room, and Zhuzhu found a job as a cleaner in Longyue Temple. Although she did not earn as much as her sister as an embroiderer. , but Master Jingyi of Longyue Temple takes great care of her. As long as she completes her errands, she can rest or do whatever she wants.
Zhuzhu, who had nothing to do after finishing her work, started writing a storybook.
Days passed like this, and two months later, Master Ni finally realized that his two daughters were determined not to come back. He became so angry that he informed the public that his two daughters had contracted the cold and died, and then he passed away from the concubine's daughter. He selected the two best-looking ones to be fostered under the name of the Wang family, who dared not speak out. They were regarded as his legitimate daughters, and then began to look for marriages for them.
During this period, Cui Wu, who had been Zhu Zhu's personal maid, used the monthly money she had accumulated over the past few years to redeem herself.
Then she carried her own little baggage and inquired about the whereabouts of Zhuzhu. Fortunately, the emperor paid off. Perhaps her loyalty moved God. After almost being abducted and having the only silver she had left stolen, she had no choice but to live in the city. When she was away at Longyue Temple, she found the second young lady she had longed for.
Zhuzhu was also moved by her loyalty and kept her by his side as a sister.
Although the past two months have been a bit difficult, the sisters have a goal and feel many times happier than when they were forced to accept their fate in a hazy way.
Moreover, the storybook she wrote recently was appreciated by the teahouse storyteller and sold for a good price. Coupled with the wages earned by the sisters, they calculated that in about a year, they would be able to earn enough to travel to Dongjun Mountain.
But not long after, something big happened. The emperor suddenly passed away. The ninth prince and the eleventh prince, who had been deprived of his prince title, began to fall out over the throne. The ministers in the court were forced to stand in line, and the two sides faced off. The capital, which had been peaceful for a long time, slowly became chaotic...
