Ke'er was frightened and frightened as she groped her body up and down, fearing that she had been molested without realizing it?
Thinking of this possibility, she ran to the bed in panic and looked through the quilt carefully to see if she could find any clues.
After checking over and over again, she didn't see any traces of male-female affairs, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
In the past, she and Ao Chenye had made love countless times, and she still remembered the charm of love between men and women, so she could still tell whether she had been molested.
Thinking of Ao Chenye, she frowned unconsciously, feeling vaguely uneasy in her heart.
Xing Mo and Mu Dan had obviously gone in last night, but Ao Chenye didn't notice them. They must have known that Ao Chenye was there, so they found a place to hide first!
Moreover, after Ao Chenye left, there were many men in black following them, so... Ao Chenye's whereabouts must have been monitored!
It is said that it is easy to dodge an open gun but hard to guard against a hidden arrow, so will he be in danger?
Thinking of this possibility, she felt worried.
But - "Ah ah, I have nothing to do with him anymore, why do I care about him?! They still want to chop off my head, why should I think about these thankless things?!"
Depressed, Ke'er threw her body on the bed, reminding herself that this was the time when Chu and Han were separated and reached out to pat her forehead.
I closed my eyes so hard that my eyelids were wrinkled and my face was wrinkled, and I tried my best to squeeze out the thoughts that should no longer be in my mind.
However - "But Leng Yun helped me. If I just let go and pretend I don't know, if something really happens, wouldn't I become an ungrateful person?"
In her heart, another voice of justice emerged from the crowded gap in her mind, mercilessly lashing out at her conscience.
Opening her eyes suddenly, she sat up from the bed and suddenly said, "Yes, if I don't tell that bad guy Ao Chenye, I can just say no to Leng Yun."
Only then did he figure it out, another problem came up - "But how do I tell him without letting Ao Chenye find me?"
Biting her fingers in confusion, she grimaced as she really couldn't think of a good solution.
Leng Yun was Ao Chenye's personal bodyguard. Unless Ao Chenye wandered off on her own without Leng Yun following her, she would have no chance of being alone with Leng Yun.
"Or I can find that stupid lion to help me pass the message. I wonder if it can still find me? Moreover, if it finds me but informs Ao Chenye, wouldn't I be digging my own grave?!"
Ahhhh... I'm so confused!
Just when she was worrying about this problem, Aunt Tao's urging voice came from the hall outside: "Ke'er, are you ready yet? Today is a market day and there are many people on the street. It's better for us to go out early.
"
"Uh... that's all. Come right away!" Ke'er quickly stood up, casually arranged the gray and white coarse cloth men's clothes on her body, tied her hair high into a man-like bun, and then
Walk out quickly.
…
Walking in the lively market, there are small stalls on both sides of the street. The cries of small business owners come and go, mixed with the sound of crowds of people. It is a bustling scene.
Ke'er looked around with interest, feeling very curious about the ancient street market.
Although she took the little golden dragon for a walk before entering the palace, the time was so rushed that she didn't have time to play properly.
As she looked left and right, she inadvertently saw a stall selling jade out of the corner of her eye. The lavender crystal-like pendant on the stall caught her eye.
This pendant...is somewhat similar to the golden dragon crystal that Ao Chenye once gave her.
He walked over unconsciously and picked up the amethyst a little forgetfully, looking fascinated.
This teardrop-like shape, this crystal clear lavender color, really seems like...
It's just that there is no little golden dragon except in the crystal.
Thinking of the golden dragon crystal he gave her, she suddenly felt empty in her chest.
It was once so close to her heart, but it also left her heart the night she left the palace.
She knew that if she put it in the cell, it would definitely return to his hands again.
What is the meaning of something that does not belong to her even if it is on her body?
However, looking at this pendant, I feel sad in my heart.
What is lost can never be returned.
When the stall owner saw "him" holding the pendant and looking at it so ecstatically, he smiled and said, "Young master is really discerning. This pendant is carved from first-class jade. It is the perfect gift for your sweetheart!"
The hawker's words made Ke'er come back to his senses.
Quickly putting the pendant back, she smiled politely and praised tactfully: "The boss's jade is indeed very good. When I have a sweetheart in the future, I will bring 'her' to choose it myself."
"Okay, okay, you're always welcome!" The vendor smiled, obviously very much praised by Kerr.
At this time, Aunt Tao finally realized that Ke'er had not followed. When she looked back, she saw that she was still staying at the jade stall.
Yushi had no choice but to call out in a warning voice: "Ke'er?"
Only then did Ke'er realize that Aunt Tao was already far ahead of him. He grinned sheepishly and hurried to follow.
Then, the two of them walked side by side, and Aunt Tao reminded her smoothly: "There are a lot of people today, so be careful not to get separated. By the way, you already know how to buy food at the rice store I took you to. Go back."
I want to tell mom that I will let you be responsible for buying food from now on. If mom agrees, you won’t have to work hard at night serving dishes."
Thinking of the snobbish face of the madam, Kerr shrugged without hope: "It doesn't matter if she doesn't agree. I can still handle the small task of serving dishes... Ah, Mrs. Tao, what are you doing there?"
As she spoke, she stared enthusiastically at the lively gathering in front of her.
She saw that many people were crowded around her, and from time to time there were sounds of excitement, and the hot and playful feeling aroused her curiosity.
Aunt Tao looked at the situation, smiled, and explained: "Well... that's a market for buying and selling slaves and maids. Look, the people gathered there are all well-dressed, and they are all wealthy people with rich families.
Go buy slaves and go back to work and serve them."
Buying and selling slaves and maids?
Ke'er's pupils opened wide, and his mind suddenly flashed back to the Chinese people who were sold like piglets by foreign powers in the late Qing Dynasty, and he didn't feel a fire rising in his heart.
"Isn't that selling people?!" Her voice was rising, and there was a trace of resentment in her tone.
Aunt Tao didn't know what she was feeling in her heart. She just thought that she was surprised, so she took advantage of the situation and suggested: "Why don't we go and have a look and join in the fun."
"Uh..." Before she could react, she let Aunt Tao pull her up.
…
After finally squeezing her way to the front, when Kerr saw the rows of poor men and women standing on the wooden platform in front of her, she felt confused in her heart.
Everyone has a price tag hanging around their neck, clearly marking the price for selling their bodies, and everyone looks at the buyers in the audience with pleading eyes, so eagerly hoping that they can sell.
Looking at their praying eyes, Ke'er's heart became even tighter.
Personal freedom... is probably not realized at all in this time and space. In such a time and space with backward civilization, can she live willingly?
Thinking that she might be shackled by this time and space in the future, her heart became extremely heavy.
Her mind was in confusion, but the hawking on the stage became more and more enthusiastic - "Slave and maidservant, everyone, hurry up and buy slaves and maidservants. Today's goods are all of high quality. If you buy them back, I will definitely serve you."
Don't miss the opportunity, don't come back again, buy slaves, buy maids..."
The seller kept looking at the gong, and some of his friends nearby kept shouting, thinking that the noble man in the audience would take action and get the free money.
At this time, a spicy woman raised her voice in a difficult voice: "Mr. Liu, you always sell these mediocre things. What's so surprising? My aunt's family is full of slaves and maids, and she doesn't look down on people like you."
goods."
When Ke'er heard the sound and looked over, she saw a young woman who was as fat as a tonnage. She was wearing so much makeup that it made people look down on her. She had red lips and red cheeks. Her face was as fat as a pig's head. Her complicatedly combed bun was full of hair.
She got all kinds of gold hairpins. These gold objects swayed as she spoke energetically, and the golden light shone brightly.
While she was looking at her, Mrs. Tao next to her pulled her and said softly: "This is the daughter of Caizhou Mansion. Her name is Cai Jinlan. She has a very domineering temperament. We should stay away from her."
Ke'er curled her lips lazily: "Cai Jinlan? I think Sai Jinlan is pretty good. You see, her hair is full of gold, and she's not afraid of damaging her eyes."
Hearing her words, Aunt Tao was very frightened. She quickly lowered her voice and signaled: "Shh! Don't talk nonsense, otherwise it will be terrible if she hears it. Her father is the governor of the state, and ordinary people like us can't afford it.
"
Although he felt depressed in his heart, he also knew that he was just a little ant here, and he might be trampled to death if he was not careful. Ke'er took a deep breath, suppressed the disdain in his heart, and softly comforted: "
…I know, I won’t mess around.”
"That's good." Aunt Tao breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Mr. Liu shouted from the stage like he was offering a treasure - "Cai Qianjin is so proud of my store today. How can I let you down? Come on, bring me today's finale treasure!"
Following Master Liu's order, three or five rough men were seen carrying a large iron cage from behind the barrier.
In the cage, there was a young man with white hair reaching his waist and a very beautiful face locked...
