Looking at Mu Qingyu's helpless twitching mouth, the girl on the right hurriedly said: "Benefactor, are you here to pick us up? And have you prepared a place for us?"
The girl has not been seen since they entered the government office to complain. Even her people have not been seen. They just escorted them to the government office and watched them beat the drum of grievance and then leave.
However, they are also very grateful.
It is their own business to file a complaint, and they have done enough to be escorted directly to the Yamen.
They never expected that this girl would come to pick them up after the matter was over.
Mu Qingyu smiled and nodded: "I thought you had no friends here and might need to find a place to live. There happened to be an empty house here, so I rented it!"
These girls are very grateful. They are determined to file a complaint. Even during the public trial, they try to ignore the strange looks in the eyes of those watching the excitement, but can they really ignore it?
They had nothing to fear in court, but after the matter was settled, in such a short time when they left the government office, they didn't know how many people were pointing fingers at them.
They have money in their hands, but can they stay in an inn like this?
Obviously not.
At this time, having a house that can take them in is a real help to them.
Mu Qingyu took them to a house on a side street. This house was only one street away from the county governor's office and only two streets away from Caishikou.
As soon as they entered the house, the girls knelt down to Mu Qingyu.
They are not illiterate people. They all know who is kind to them and who is hostile to them. Without Mu Qingyu, how can they get revenge?
Mu Qingyu helped them up.
At this time, all the women were wearing clothes bought at the market at the foot of Nanzhang Mountain, including Jingyi and cloth skirts. However, these women had experienced the vicissitudes of major events and had a calmness that settled in their eyes. Even the commoners were not.
Cover up their beauty.
If it weren't for the beautiful woman, the bandits would have killed her on the spot and wouldn't have taken her up the mountain.
After letting the women into the house, Mu Qingyu said sternly: "Before, your vengeance was not avenged and the culprit was not eliminated, so I did not ask. Now, we are only waiting for the execution in three days. It happens to be these few days, you guys think carefully, and then
What are your plans for coming down!"
The women looked at each other and said nothing.
What else can they plan to do? Either find a nunnery and worship the ancient Buddhas for the rest of their lives, or they can follow their relatives under the Nine Springs.
Only Jiang Aqin said: "Sister Queen, I don't want to die and I don't have a home. How about I stay with you? I can be a slave or a maid. I am very capable of working. I can do anything!"

Mu Qingyu nodded: "We'll talk about your business later. Let's listen to the sisters' thoughts first!"
Jiang Aqin nodded obediently.
Mu Qingyu looked at the silent crowd and said, "I seem to have heard you talk about people before. Are you from Linzhou, Liangzhou, and Jiazhou? Have you ever been to the capital?"
The girls shook their heads.
Mu Qingyu smiled and said: "I know, you feel that your life has been ruined by those beasts. From now on, no man will look up to you, let alone anyone willing to marry you. Even if you are alive, you will
Living under the strange eyes of others, just thinking about it makes you feel that there is no way out, so you all have a death wish in your heart!"
The girls remained silent.
That's what they really think.
Mu Qingyu said seriously: "I can understand your thoughts. However, do you want to listen to my thoughts?"
The girls looked up at her.
"Do you know who I am?"
The girls shook their heads, a little stunned. This has nothing to do with knowing who she is, right?
Mu Qingyu said slowly: "My name is Mu Qingyu. When I was very young, my mother passed away. My father brought home the man who was raised outside and raised him as his stepmother. From then on, I lived in the mansion and lived as a servant.
It was not as good as those days. My stepmother ignored me and my stepsisters beat and scolded me and took pleasure in bullying me. Do you know what my biggest wish was at that time? I hope I grow up early and marry my mother when she is still alive.
My fiancé, leave this family and will no longer be bullied!"
The girls were slightly startled. This female queen looked nothing like someone who had been tortured since she was a child. She was so capable and capable, but they didn't expect that she would be so miserable when she was young.
Jiang Aqin said sympathetically: "Sister Queen, I didn't expect you to be so miserable when you were a child!"
When she was a child, her whole family loved her. Although she was a girl, her treatment was no worse than that of her brother. It was only after the gang of thieves killed her family that she fell into hell. Now, she is also saved!
p>
"Is it miserable?" Mu Qingyu chuckled and shook her head: "What kind of tragedy is this? More than a year ago, the palace gave me a banquet. My stepmother and stepsisters, who never let me participate in such gatherings, asked me to attend. I am very happy.
But I didn’t recognize anyone in the crowd. Later, a lady poured tea on me, and a palace maid came over to take me to change clothes. When I woke up, I was lying on a bed in the side hall with a man.
..."
"Ah..."
Someone exclaimed.
Everyone knows what this means, even Jiang Aqin has a hint of shock in his eyes.
The way they looked at Mu Qingyu was too complex to describe.
Accident? Sympathy? Pity? Sigh?
It seems to be both, but it seems not to be the case.
Because they couldn't connect the current Mu Qingyu with the person she mentioned.
Mu Qingyu smiled and said: "That man is the current fifth prince, His Highness Prince Liang. He has a woman he likes, so when he wakes up, the first thing he does is kick me under the bed and raise a knife to kill someone.
. But there were many people in the room at that time and stopped her. Amidst the strange looks of everyone, I also thought about dying, but I knew clearly that it was not me who did it. I was not wrong. Why should I be the one who died?
”
The girls were silent, some lowered their heads and thought.
Mu Qingyu's quiet voice has the power to soothe people's hearts, even if what she says makes people feel pity.
She said: "My fiancé's family cried in the court, and my father scolded me for being shameless. Everyone thought it was me who was shameless, because that person was a prince, and of course he would not be shameless. Then the shameless one could only be me.
In order to calm things down, the emperor asked Prince Liang to marry me as his concubine!"
Girls: "..."
Is this a blessing in disguise?
But if a man who is about to chop someone with a knife has another woman in his heart, how can marrying him be a blessing?
They were attracted by Mu Qingyu's story and couldn't help but think about what would have happened if they had faced such a situation at that time?
Mu Qingyu said: "I married Prince Liang amidst the despise of everyone. A few boxes and cages and a few clothes were all my dowry. Even though there is a wedding ceremony, it is not as beautiful as taking a concubine!"
