She stayed in the Zizhu Courtyard of the exquisite and beautiful Qingfeng Villa for more than ten days, and the bruises on her body were finally healed. During this period, Yin Shiying came to visit her every day to accompany her, and He Zhishi came over sometimes. She recovered from her injuries.
Later, when He Zhishi and his wife went on a long trip for business, they asked four maids in their late twenties to accompany her, take care of her, and play with her.
The four maids saw that she was bored, so they took her to the martial arts field and taught her how to practice swordsmanship. She learned quickly and within a few days, the maids had nothing to teach her. She played and chatted with them, and occasionally practiced.
Sword, and also knew that the two people who rescued her were both top-notch swordsman masters in the world.
After living in Qingfeng Villa for a month, I realized that the villa is built on the cliff of Lishan Mountain, and you have to sit on a hanging basket to enter and exit.
One evening, the maid suddenly came over and invited her to have a meal in the main courtyard. She said that the master and his wife were back. She quickly walked to the side hall of the main courtyard to have dinner with He Zhishi and his wife.
After dinner, He Zhishi sat on a chair and said softly, "Tianqin, my uncle and aunt checked several nearby big and small towns based on the information you provided, but they couldn't find your home or your family. I heard that your accent is not from the south.
How old are you this year"
"Fourteen years old," Li Tianqin replied calmly and obediently. Of course she couldn't find her. Her home was far away in the capital. The Li family, a wealthy family in Yancheng, the capital, was a wealthy family with no human feelings and only interests. No one except her parents and younger siblings treated her well.
There is nothing but constant calculation.
"Fourteen years old?" The couple couldn't believe it. They clearly looked childish under ten years old! The two looked at each other and He Zhishi suddenly said, "Tianqin, since we can't find your family, we will send them to you."
You go to our family, the He family, as our daughter, and ask your uncle to find a good marriage for you. You will be able to find a good marriage next year, and your uncle and aunt will not wrong you."
"I don't want to get married. I just want to live by myself. I'm sorry for deceiving you and making you run around for me. I actually remember where my home is. I just don't want to go home. Let me stay and take care of you and be a good person.
Maid, please repay your life-saving grace." Li Tianqin stood up and blessed herself, and apologized sadly. She will never marry in this life, and such a good-looking young man who tripped her is a devil. All kinds of men come in and out of brothels, no matter what.
Whether it's good-looking or not, it's a wolf in sheep's clothing, which makes her extremely sick.
She has such a physique that even the slightest touch will cause a bruise, and the pain will be excruciating, from the injury to the pain until the injury is healed. She does not look forward to getting married, having a husband, or having children. She just wants to
She wants to walk through her life alone and cleanly, and hopes that she will no longer have such a constitution in the next life.
"Where is your home? There is no need for a maid. If you don't want to go home, just treat this place as your own home and stay with your aunt." Yin Shiying said softly. She liked this girl very much after only being together for more than ten days. She wanted to take her in.
She was a daughter, but she was afraid that she wouldn't want to. Although the child was very polite, well-behaved, and obviously a lady, she noticed that the child was too deserted when left alone, and felt cold to the bone.
"The capital of the country... Yancheng... the Li family." Li Tianqin said her home with some difficulty. If she hadn't been kidnapped, she would have wanted to go back no matter what. Her parents, younger brothers and sisters were there.
"The capital of Yancheng...how did you come to Lishan in such a far distance? Where is your family? Are you a direct or collateral line?" Yin Shiying asked in surprise. The girl in front of her had fair and delicate skin, slender and soft hands without any calluses, and black hair.
She looks like a child who is extremely soft, delicate, agile and beautiful. How could the fifth-ranked lady of the Li family come to the Western Territory from the distant capital? It takes three months for a carriage to travel from the capital to the Western Territory. It’s so fast.
It will take a month.
Li Tianqin lowered his head and held back his tears for a moment before saying, "I am the eldest daughter of the third family directly, and the eldest daughter of the Li family's grandchildren. Half a year ago, I spent my summer vacation in Pei County near Yancheng and went to the nearby Hanshan Temple.
Xiang was kidnapped and sold to Ningxiang Pavilion, the largest brothel in Yuncheng, Jiangnan... After I escaped, I hid in a group of carriages and came here..." Li Tianqin carefully recounted all his experiences in the past six months and wiped away his tears.
Then he continued, "I don't want to go home, I have brought shame to my family... and I don't want to get married..."
Yin Shiying was so distressed that she couldn't help hugging the girl in front of her. A girl who was only fourteen years old had experienced such a terrible thing. No wonder she was so cold-hearted at a young age, when she was still in her prime. She had seen too many men.
The bad side, so I don’t want to get married...
"It's not your fault. You can stay here with peace of mind. Don't you like swordsmanship? Then become our husband and wife's teachers, be our direct disciples, and be our daughter." He Zhishi said, holding back the sadness in his heart.
, how could such a beautiful child experience such a terrible thing? He wanted to protect her and make her life smooth.
"Tianqin will become our master and our daughter. From now on, the master and your master will protect your life. If you want to marry, you can marry. If you don't want to, just stay with us on the cliff of Lishan Mountain." Yin Shiying let go of Li Tianqin with a very serious expression.
said.
"Okay." Li Tianqin burst into tears instantly. These two people gave her a better feeling than her biological parents. Her parents knew that she bruised easily and looked at her with surprise, and they didn't dare even though she was bruised very much.
She said she was afraid they would think she was a monster...
The next day, He Zhishi and Yin Shiying, one person and one horse, led Li Tianqin to the nearby horse thieves' den. Everyone was beaten to death by the couple, and then they were all captured by the officials.
The two men took her to Jiangnan Yuncheng to teach everyone who had hurt her in Ningxiang Pavilion a lesson. Most of them were half dead. The six people who came to Jiangnan to catch her and the people who chased her back to catch her were also killed by the couple.
The two broke off her hand and hamstrings. She also learned that someone offered her five thousand taels to catch her and sell her to a brothel in Jiangnan. The person who paid the money was a veiled middle-aged woman. She also left behind an earring. Li Tianqin took the exquisite
The emerald drop earrings felt familiar, but she couldn't remember whose they belonged to.
He Zhishi and his wife drove everyone out of Ningxiang Pavilion and set fire to Ningxiang Pavilion. They took Li Tianqin back to Lishan Cliff. After Li Tianqin returned, the couple looked complicated.
"Husband, the person Tian Qin said tripped her up couldn't be Erlang, right?" Yin Shiying was a little unbelievable. She didn't believe that her eldest brother's second son had become like this when they were at home with their grown-up children.
Despicable and shameless people.
"It should be Erlang. The person who went after Tianqin described it as Erlang. Tianqin does not need to lie. Although our He family is based in Shuicheng, Jiangnan and is the third-ranked family, the Li family has always been in the capital and is still standing.
For hundreds of years, the eldest daughter of the family would not be allowed to suffer such hardship just to get close to us. We only have some status in the world and are worthless in the eyes of the aristocratic family.
The eldest daughter of the Li family is considered a noble concubine when she enters the palace, and the newly appointed prime minister is directly related to the Li family. She will not destroy her own girl just to get close to us. Moreover, when we picked her up, she was clearly hopeless and had no chance of living.
She is full of vitality, and her body is as thin as a six or seven-year-old child. It makes me feel so sad when I see her. When I see her, I feel like she is my own child, but we have never had children." He Zhishi didn't know what to do, he
He even had the urge to strike He Zezhong with his sword. He couldn't believe how an adult man who had already grown up at the age of eighteen could do such a shameless thing.
