Fan Xiaoling is a weak woman. Even if she escapes from the clutches of the devil, she cannot run very far.
So, she met another group of traffickers on the way.
The traffickers took her to the Liu family, where she became the Liu family's daughter-in-law and entered the Liu family's household registration.
Liu probably was gentle and petty towards her at first, and since she had no financial problems, it would not be easy to return to her hometown, so she could only endure it for the time being.
Unexpectedly, within two months of their marriage, Liu Ergen had changed.
He was very lazy and would go out drinking and gambling all day long. Her mother-in-law even beat and scolded her. She tried to escape several times, but was caught by the mother and son.
The consequences of failing to escape are obvious, either starving or being beaten. In short, he will not let her go until she is tortured enough.
She also quietly asked the government that in a situation like hers, unless the Liu family was willing to take the initiative to let her go, otherwise, even if she ran back to Lishui, she would be sent back by the government there.
But how easy is it to get the Liu family to take the initiative to let her go?
After Li Huang heard the whole story, he understood instantly.
"With the virtues of your husband's family, it would be difficult for them to divorce your wife, let alone reconcile."
"Even if I am a princess, I have no right to interfere in people's household affairs unless you meet the conditions for reconciliation."
According to the law of the Great Yuan, there are only three circumstances for reconciliation: first, the husband has been on the run for three years; second, the husband forces his wife into prostitution; third, the married woman rapes her husband.
And Fan Xiaoling could not meet any of these three conditions.
But she still wanted to get a divorce letter, otherwise, even if she could return to her hometown, it would be difficult for her to remarry.
"The women of the common people know that they are in trouble, but the women of the common people believe that Her Royal Highness the Princess must have a way to save the women of the common people from the fire and water!"
"As long as the eldest princess is willing to lend a helping hand, the civilian woman is willing to sell herself as a slave and serve Her Royal Highness the eldest princess for life."
Li Huang raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "I don't have idle people in my palace. What do you know?"
Fan Xiaoling heard this and immediately said: "Your Highness, women of the common people are quite popular, and the medicinal diet is pretty good. In addition, women of the common people can dig wild vegetables in the mountains, collect medicines, and catch prey."
She was afraid that she knew too little and Li Huang would not see her value, so she told everything she knew.
Li Huang was slightly moved when he heard she said she could also make medicinal meals.
Mrs. Yu had mentioned to her before that she wanted to open a herbal restaurant, but she shelved it because she couldn't find a suitable cook.
If this Fan was really good at it, then she wouldn't be able to bring her back to the capital.
"I know this, please go back first."
Fan Xiaoling knew that Li Huang had promised her, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions. She quickly bowed and left.
After she met the person, Mo Jingzhan also found out about the matter.
"Your Majesty, Liu Dagen is just a drunkard. He and his mother do nothing but rely on Fan to make a living by grinding spices or selling embroidery outside."
"Liu Dagen lost all the fifty copper coins he got from selling spices a few days ago. The family has been unable to open the pot these days, and the neighbors don't want to lend it to them. Therefore, the mother and son are planning to
Sell the Fan family."
Mo Jingzhan narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to signal him to retreat.
Just at this time, Li Huang came back, and Mo Jingzhan immediately handed her chopsticks: "Then Mrs. Fan, are you asking you to save her?"
Li Huang raised his eyebrows: "What do you know?"
Mo Jingzhan picked up two slices of thinly sliced meat and poured it into the pot. He said leisurely: "It's clear what happened on the street that day. Then Fan's life was difficult. You bought her spices. Of course she
I hope you can lend a helping hand to her."
He put the cooked meat into her bowl, she took a bite and sniffed with satisfaction.
"Yes, she did not hesitate to sell herself into slavery and wanted to save her from the fire. However, she wants to reconcile, and I think the mother and son will make a big deal out of it."
Mo Jingzhan cooked some more mutton for her: "I asked someone to go out and inquire about it just now. It is said that the mother and son are planning to sell her."
"You can just find someone to come forward and separate her household registration from the Liu family."
Li Huang stopped chewing and looked at him: "What a coincidence?"
She was just thinking about whether she should give the Liu family a sum of money to buy Fan's house, but she didn't expect that the mother and son would actually give him pillows while they were napping.
In this way, she can save a fortune.
After dinner, Li Huang asked Ling Yuan to find two servants, disguise themselves, and tell Mrs. Liu that they were interested in buying a wife.
Mrs. Liu is greedy for money, so she will definitely take the bait.
Lingyuan accepted the order and quickly followed it.
I originally thought that this matter would take at least two or three days to complete, but I didn't expect that Mrs. Liu really couldn't wait even one day.
As soon as Fan left the garrison mansion, Mrs. Liu came looking for her.
"I just said where did you little prodigal hooves go? It turns out you came to climb the dragon and follow the phoenix."
"Don't you think that if someone buys you a bag of spices, they will take you away?"
"Stop dreaming. What kind of status does she have? Even a foot-washing maid, I don't want you to be like this. You'd better give up on this idea."
As Mrs. Liu spoke, she grabbed Fan's ears and cursed.
"Why don't you hurry up and find a way to get some food? You want to starve me to death."
Mrs. Fan lowered her eyes, covering the flash of glare in her eyes.
Pedestrians on the road saw Mrs. Liu and gave way to her, for fear of being blackmailed by her.
However, before the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned home, they saw the open space over there filled with people.
Mrs. Liu didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but she suddenly heard someone comment: "It's a pity that I'm not a good female celebrity, otherwise, I would also want to sell myself."
"That's a wealthy family. They have food, drink, and money to collect. It's better than living in the sand all day here."
Mrs. Liu's ears twitched slightly, then she squeezed past.
In the middle of the crowd, I saw two old servants with unfamiliar faces setting up a table and posting a note next to it.
Mrs. Liu couldn't read, so she could only arrest someone and ask: "What's written on it?"
The man recognized Mrs. Liu and didn't want to talk to her, but he was afraid that the woman would act up, so he could only tell her the truth.
"A wealthy family outside the city is looking for an embroiderer, but she has to be sold as a slave. The reward is quite a lot! Five taels of silver."
In Sanzhou, two taels of silver can buy a nice girl, and five taels of silver is indeed a lot.
What's more, when Liu probably bought Fan's, he only spent a few hundred Wen.
Mrs. Liu rolled her eyes and immediately had something in mind.
She turned around to look for Mrs. Fan again, but found that Mrs. Fan was no longer where she was. She was so angry that she immediately cursed again.
"Where did this bitch go? When I catch her, let's see if I don't kill her."
People cast disdainful looks at her, but she didn't care and ran home holding up her skirt.
Fan never expected that her redemption would come so quickly.
