Xiaoya, who had bruises all over her body, bent over deeply towards Chu Yunli with tears in her eyes, and slowly dissipated in her bent posture.

Before Chu Yunli opened her eyes, she was shivered by the cool breeze. The surroundings were extremely quiet, and there was a dense pain in her knees, and her whole body was stiff.
If the guess is correct, the original body should be kneeling.
After opening my eyes, I found myself kneeling outside a majestic gate. There was someone guarding the door. Occasionally, the eyes that looked over had an uncomfortable frivolity in them.
"Get up, the master will let you in." A well-dressed nanny came out with a straight face and said condescendingly.
Chu Yunli stood up slowly. She had no memory, but she was particularly resistant to entering this door. So, she pretended that her legs were numb and fell back, then closed her eyes.
In the darkness, I felt someone kicked me in the waist: "Did you faint?"
Mammy's voice continued: "The master will be unhappy if she faints at this moment. Someone, please carry her in and throw her on the bed."
My original name is Zhou Anyu, who was born into a merchant family in Lucheng. This place is close to the border, and there are wars every year, and there are many soldiers recruited from all over the country to guard it.
The Zhou family is engaged in the fur business. In this small border town that is often torn by war, it is considered a relatively good family. Zhou Anyu has never been hungry since she was a child, and she is loved by her father. If there is anything wrong with her, it is that her mother has
After leaving, my father often had to go out to collect fur, and he married his step-brother not long after.
The stepmother Hu only showed respect to Zhou Anyu, and secretly arranged a marriage for Zhou Anyu while Zhou's father was out collecting furs. By the time Zhou's father came back, it was already too late.
Since ancient times, there has been a clear hierarchy among scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. Businessmen were ranked at the bottom, especially the Zhou family, which was not considered very wealthy, and the Hu family decided to be the legitimate son of the Zhu family, the richest man in the city.
According to common sense, this is a wealthy family that the Zhou family has absolutely no contact with. It is obviously a high-profile offer, and Zhou's father would not dare to refuse no matter how courageous he is. You must know that the Zhu family is not just a merchant, they seem to be related to the young generals guarding the border town.
This marriage has only advantages and no disadvantages for the Zhou family.
Regardless of whether Zhou's father wanted it or not, after the six rites were completed and the wedding day came, he could only send his daughter to the sedan chair with tears in her eyes.
Fortunately, judging from the six rites, the Zhu family did not mean to be negligent. Father Zhou hoped that the Zhu family would be a reasonable family and would not treat their daughter-in-law harshly.
After Zhou Anyu got married, the couple spent less time together and more separation. It can only be said that they treated each other with respect and had no affection at all. She did not expect that she could get along well with her husband Qin Se. She thought about giving birth to a child in two years, and then raising the child and helping others.
He married a wife and had children, and his whole life passed.
Zhou Anyu's husband, Zhu Changlin, spends most of the year delivering goods. The closer he gets to the border, the more chaotic the surrounding area becomes. Because there are people in the Zhu family in the army, they always go with the army when delivering goods, and there is no problem. But everything is normal.
There was an accident. In the third year after Zhou Anyu got married, Zhu Changlin once went out to deliver goods. He came back three days later than the agreed date and still hadn't seen anyone. Zhu's father was worried, so he sent someone to inquire and learned that his son had already passed away.
He was kidnapped by bandits and taken to the mountain.
There were basically bandits living in the mountains near the border. The ones who kidnapped the Zhu family were the largest group of bandits. The imperial court suppressed them several times, but nothing happened.
If you want to rescue people, it is best to ask the general stationed at the border to help lead troops to suppress the bandits.
But the general was guarding the city wall and could not come back more than a few times a year. It was an important place for the military and no one could go there. So Zhu's father went to ask the general's brother-in-law.
The general's brother-in-law, Qiao Dahai, was born and raised in Lucheng. He was a lecherous person and had some indulging in meat and vegetables. Faced with Zhu's father's request, he looked embarrassed. Only after Zhu's father repeatedly begged did he agree to go to the city wall.
He went to his brother-in-law to ask for help...but there were conditions. He wanted Zhou Anyu to accompany him!
He didn't say how long he would stay with her, but he would only be willing to help if it made him happy.
Zhu's father was furious, but he had nothing to do. When he came back, he discussed it with his wife and then found his eldest daughter-in-law.
Zhou Anyu was stunned when she heard the request from her father-in-law and mother-in-law. However, she was married into a high family, and her natal family was not able to do anything... She also knew that it would be useless to seek help from her father, and would only cause trouble to the Zhou family disciples. She really couldn't defeat her elders, so she
He gritted his teeth and agreed.
Hearing the creak of the door, Chu Yunli woke up and saw a familiar house. She said loudly: "Send me out."
Mammy frowned: "But the master asked you to wait here. Now that you're gone, it won't be easy to come in."
"There's nothing I can do. My menstruation is here." Chu Yunli lowered her eyes: "Even if I stay, there's nothing I can do."
Grandma was a little surprised and waved her hand: "Carry it away!"
Chu Yunli walked out on her own. She stretched out her hand to caress her lower abdomen. She thought that her menstrual period was coming as an excuse, but Zhou Anyu's menstrual period was indeed within the past two days, and it was postponed because she was pregnant.
Qiao Dahai has some unknown hobbies and likes to torture people in bed. Just tonight in his last life, Zhou Anyu was pregnant.
And Qiao Dahai refused to fulfill his promise for this reason. It must be that Zhou Anyu didn't serve him well... He stayed, but he refused to do anything.
Standing outside the gate of Qiao's house, another gust of cold wind blew. Chu Yunli tightened her cloak unconsciously... There was no other way. Her mother-in-law, Mrs. Ren, was afraid that Qiao Dahai would not accept her, so she deliberately wore very thin clothes underneath.
, her fair skin was looming, and she was only covered by a cloak. In such a cold day, just standing outside in this outfit was too much, not to mention that Zhou Anyu had to kneel for so long.
The Zhu family and the Qiao family lived on the same street. Chu Yunli was frozen all over and walked for half an hour before arriving. The woman who was guarding the gate was warming her hands. When she saw her return, she came forward in surprise: "
Where did the young lady go?"
Chu Yunli only nodded slightly at him as a greeting, then quickly entered the gate and went straight to the courtyard where Zhou Anyu lived.
As soon as he entered the hospital, he ordered: "Prepare hot water for me, I want to take a bath. Make a pot of sugar and ginger tea, I want to drink it later."
There is only one mother-in-law in the Zhou family who takes care of the family's daily life. Occasionally, when the mother-in-law is too busy, Zhou Anyu will do the laundry herself. But it is different when she marries into the Zhu family. Just in Zhu Kangyu's yard, there are five or six people to take care of her.
Chu Yunli gave the order, and although the people below were surprised that Madam Yu suddenly became dignified today, they did not dare to refute her in person and went to work one after another.
A quarter of an hour later, Chu Yunli had already soaked in the hot water. She couldn't help but sigh, and soon her whole body warmed up. Just when she felt comfortable, the door was pushed open unceremoniously. At the same time, there was
The maid exclaimed: "Madam, young madam, she is taking a bath."
Zhu's mother didn't care so much and yelled: "Get out!"
No one dared to follow her. Mother Zhu went straight into the inner room. When she saw the slender woman in the bucket, she sneered: "Why are you back?"
Chu Yunli opened her eyes but didn't answer.
Mother Zhu asked again: "You have already entered the gate, why do you want to come back? Do you really want to be a widow?"
"I have a child." Chu Yunli looked serious: "You should know better than me what kind of person Qiao Dahai is. If I stay, the child will not be able to keep it, and he may even use it as an excuse..."
"After all, you just don't want to." Mother Zhu said rudely: "Our Zhu family has been unlucky for eight lifetimes before marrying a troublemaker like you. I shouldn't have nodded and let you in in the first place. As the saying goes, marrying
An idle wife brings harm to three generations. I think you want to bring harm to the Zhu family until all descendants are extinct."
Chu Yunli looked straight into her eyes: "So, even if I have a child, I should give up my life to serve Qiao Dahai?"
"If you don't obey him, Kang Yu won't be able to come back." Zhu's mother burst into tears: "Do you think I am willing?"
Chu Yunli lowered his eyes: "This matter needs to be discussed carefully. Where is father?"
"What's there to discuss?" Zhu's mother narrowed her eyes: "You don't think that if you have a child, you can live a prosperous life with the child, right? As long as I am here, I will never let your plan succeed. If Kang Yu didn't
Yes, I will divorce you! No, I will let you be buried with him."
Chu Yunli had already warmed up. It was easy to get into trouble when arguing with others while soaking in the bathtub, so it was really hard to do anything. She reached out and picked up the clothes on the screen and wrapped them around it, then pulled her cloak and wrapped it around it.
"Speak!" Zhu's mother was very unhappy: "I asked them to prepare the carriage. You quickly change your clothes and then knock on Qiao's door."
"I won't go." Chu Yunli lowered his eyes and adjusted his belt: "Whoever wants to serve whoever wants to serve, I won't do it anyway. If the situation becomes more urgent, I will go to the street and yell about it and let outsiders comment."
Zhu Mu: "..."
It's too late to cover up such a thing, how can you talk about it on the street? If you talk about it, even if your son is rescued, how can the Zhu family still have face?
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were confronting each other, but neither one wanted to give in. Zhu's mother was so angry that she was about to have an attack again, when the maid's voice came from outside: "The master is here, and the madam is washing up."
Zhu's father said in a deep tone: "Ask her to hurry up, I'll wait outside."
Chu Yunli raised her eyebrows: "Does mother want me to see my father like this?"
That is definitely inappropriate.
Mother Zhu stamped her feet, turned around and left angrily.
Chu Yunli arranged her clothes, found the thickest jacket and put it on, and finally wrapped herself in a cloak before opening the door.
Outside the door, the Zhu family and his wife looked very ugly.
Chu Yunli noticed that Father Zhu's eyes were on her belly: "Father, I am pregnant, so I found a reason to come back."
Father Zhu sighed: "Son, I, the Zhu family, am sorry for you. But I am the only legitimate son, and I really can't lose him."
Chu Yunli emphasized again: "But I have a child."
As long as the Zhu family couple attaches great importance to Zhou Anyu as their daughter-in-law, they should think of other ways... This account is easy to settle. Zhou Anyu already has the Zhu family's grandson in her belly, even if it is just a granddaughter, Zhu Kangyu also has descendants, so he will not cut off his descendants.
But if Zhou Anyu goes to serve Qiao Dahai, the child will definitely not be saved.
Even if Qiao Daxing promised to beg his brother-in-law, and the general led people to exterminate the bandits, he might not be able to bring Zhu Kangyu back safely. Wouldn't it be like a piece of cake by then, and he would not be able to keep his son or grandson?
"Kang Yu is also my child. As long as there is a chance to save him, I will never give up." Mother Zhu spoke up, paused and then said: "It is very cold this year, and the fur production is small, so the Zhou family cannot get it.
How much. If you are unwilling to help me, I will send my stewards to snatch away all the business of the Zhou family. No matter whether they are buyers or sellers, they will never let them do business with your father. Anyu, you know the Zhu family
If you have this ability, don’t doubt my words.”
Chu Yunli lowered her eyes: "So, I have to go, right?"
"Yes! You have no choice." Zhu's mother said in a serious tone, "Don't worry, I will remember your contribution to the Zhu family and will benefit your father later."
At the moment, a woman's chastity is paramount. After Zhou Anyu leaves, no matter whether things work out or not, she will no longer be the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family. The best outcome is to stay with Qiao Dahai as a concubine... But she is the only one who has lost her virginity.
Even if a woman is favored, it will only be temporary. Qiao Dahai himself is also lustful, and it is simply a fantasy to live a good life in Qiao's backyard.
How many benefits can Zhou Anyu get in exchange for his life?
Being ruined for the rest of your life is indeed a life saved.
The key is that no matter how much the benefits are, they are not shared by Zhou Anyu. No matter how you calculate the account, it will be a loss!
Chu Yunli cast her gaze on Zhu's father's face: "You think so too?"
Father Zhu frowned: "How did you come back?"
"I said I was menstruating." Chu Yunli said with a calm expression: "After grandma heard that, she immediately asked someone to take me out. She also said that it would be difficult for me to go in again."
Father Zhu let out a long sigh: "Then let's rest at home for three to five days, and we'll talk about it then."
One look at his appearance and you can tell that he is shaken.
Zhu's mother immediately panicked: "Master, we need Kang Yu as a legitimate son. Now his life or death is uncertain. If we delay for a moment, there will be an added risk of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man away. We have to find a way to save him!"
Father Zhu waved his hand: "We have already said that we are having menstruation. If we go back now, it will make Mr. Qiao even more angry. Not to mention asking for mercy, we may even make grudges. Whether this menstruation is true or not,
It all has to be true. It will be three to five days before we come again. Don’t be so anxious, we have already done our best, and if Kang Yu can’t come back, it will be his life.”
After saying this, he left in the wind and snow.
Mother Zhu moved her lips, as if she wanted to persuade her, but she knew in her heart that she could not persuade him to do what the master had decided. Seeing the person walking away, she stamped her feet angrily, and said bitterly: "Zhou Anyu, if my son dies, don't even think about it.
live alone."
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and walked away.
After the couple left, the atmosphere in the yard did not become relaxed. Chu Yunli turned around and entered the house: "Light two more braziers."
The maid Cuiying knew what happened to Zhou Anyu. When she brought the brazier, she worriedly said: "Madam is angry, your life will be even more difficult. Do you want to go back to Zhou's house to report?"
Since ancient times, it has been difficult for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to live in harmony. Especially Zhou Anyu is not the daughter-in-law that Zhu's mother likes. The original engagement was decided by the Zhu family and his son. When she knew about it, Xiao Xiao had already made up his mind and wanted to cancel the engagement. Neither father nor son wanted to get married.
promise.
Therefore, after Zhou Anyu came to the house, no matter how she tried to please her mother-in-law, she had little effect.
"It's just a matter of letting dad worry." The Zhou family couldn't help. Besides, Zhu's mother forced her daughter-in-law to go to Qiao's house, not because she wanted to save her son, but because she wanted to get rid of the daughter-in-law she didn't like.
.
Cuiying stamped her feet: "It would be great if I could do it for you."
"Don't say stupid things." As the sky darkened outside, Chu Yunli flicked the candlelight and said, "Go back early and rest!"
Zhou Anyu didn't have the habit of letting people stay by her bedside, so she always lived alone.
It was night, and Chu Yunli suddenly opened her eyes in the darkness because she smelled a hint of something else from the smell of charcoal fire.
