Chapter 175 The Maid Who Married in Place 9
Ever since her husband, Old Cheng, was beaten to death by a nobleman, she knew that the lives of people like them were worthless.
In the eyes of those dignitaries, they are just like ants.
Justice! They don't deserve it.
So over the years, she has devoted all her money to support Cheng Yuanzhi's studies and imperial examinations, not only to fulfill her husband's last wish.
In order to vent her anger, she was determined to let her son live a life of luxury.
Muchen was carrying Cheng's mother on his back. When he heard Sirong and 571 calling out, he could only answer them silently in his heart.
Now, the mother and daughter are seeking refuge at Cheng's mother's home.
It is a small town by the river in the south. When the flood happened, Cheng's mother and her parents fled to the capital together to escape the famine.
The three of them were lucky and all survived. When Cheng's mother married Cheng's father, the old couple were still alive.
They passed away one after another when Cheng Yuanzhi was three years old.
When they fled here to escape famine, there were no other relatives in their hometown, so Cheng's mother had never made any arrangements to go back over the years.
She is not a man in the family, so she has to consider the ancestral hall and relatives. If she marries Cheng's father, she will be the wife of the Cheng family and worship the ancestors of the Cheng family.
If it weren't for Cheng Yuanzhi's plan this time, she would never have thought of going back.
But after thinking about it, if Cheng Yuanzhi's plan didn't work out, the mother and daughter would really need to run away.
It would definitely not be possible to go to Cheng's father's hometown. They are not far from the capital. If the prince wants to find her son, he will definitely think of there first.
Her hometown is different. The old people who fled famine with them over the years are basically gone.
She doesn't like to talk about these things with others, or rather, she hasn't chatted with anyone much in these years.
They are either working, busy washing clothes for others, or arguing with others. They don't have much time to chat about family matters.
The rest of the neighbors only knew that they had fled to the capital to escape famine, but they were not sure where they had fled from.
As for returning to her hometown, even if she has no real relatives there, she grew up there after all. She should be able to find a few people who know them, and then find a way to ask someone to help her get a household registration.
Not to mention the deposit that the prince gave to his son at that time, which was five hundred taels of silver.
She opened the bag her son brought back today and saw a lot of gold, silver and valuables inside.
After completing the household registration, I will buy some land in my hometown, and the rent I collect will be enough to cover the expenses for my son to continue his studies.
The old lady was lying on Muchen's back, thinking about the future of her and her daughter, while Sirong was talking to Muchen about what would happen after they returned to the Marquis' Mansion tonight.
After hearing what Sirong said, Muchen was speechless for a long time.
"What I'm saying is, why are there so many weirdos in every small world? Does Prince Duan have something wrong with his head?"
Sirong was so happy lying on the bed listening to Muchen's complaints.
"You can't say that. Don't underestimate Liu Ruyi. She's not just an ordinary prostitute."
"What do you mean?" Si Rong's words piqued Muchen's interest.
He and Cheng's mother found a dilapidated temple in the mountains and prepared to rest.
The mother and daughter did not dare to take the official road. If Prince Duan sent people to hunt them down, they would definitely search along the official road, so they kept walking on the country mountain roads.
Cheng Yuanzhi's health is really not that good. Being able to walk dozens of miles with my mother on his back is already his limit.
So when they saw this small dilapidated temple on the mountain, they decided to rest here for a few hours. It would be dawn soon. When it was light, Cheng's mother would not need Mu Chen to carry her on her back and could follow slowly.
When they reach the next town, Mu Chen Qiaozhuang can dress up and buy a donkey cart or something for transportation.
"Didn't you read the plot carefully? Liu Ruyi is actually the daughter of Hong Xiuzhao, the brothel owner."
"What did you say?" Mu Chen really didn't know about this situation. This didn't exist in his plots.
"Don't be so surprised. When the madam was young, she didn't have to entertain customers, right?
Similarly, when she was young, she was also the top prostitute in Hongxiuzhao. When she became pregnant with Liu Ruyi, she still had no money to redeem herself.
Not only could she not redeem herself, but she couldn't even send her child to be raised outside.
The madam at the time was very kind to her by allowing her to stop receiving clients for a year so that she could give birth to the child.
Regardless of whether the baby is a boy or a girl, it is the property of the building."
"Oh my God!"
Muchen lay on the straw with his hands resting on his head.
"It's nothing, my goodness! It was precisely because of this bizarre operation that Liu Ruyi's madam became so motivated that she took over the position of madam a few years later.
However, the brothel Hongxiuzhao has a boss behind the scenes, so she still cannot let Liu Ruyi go and register her as a good family.
But when Liu Ruyi was very young, her brothel owner mother passed on her experience in controlling men to her.
When Liu Ruyi grew up, she became more and more graceful and beautiful.
He also tried every possible way to build momentum for her, attracting many young men in the capital to come and flock to her, all flocking to this charming beauty."
"If that's the case, then Liu Ruyi's mother is actually quite an expert!"
"That's right, there are other young men with higher status than Prince Duan, but she still chose Prince Duan for Liu Ruyi.
It's not for anything else, it's because he's stupid and easy to manipulate. In her previous life, Liu Ruyi, under her mother's scheme, eventually took the throne of the Crown Prince."
After hearing what Sirong said, Muchen was so happy that he couldn't stop laughing.
"You said that Prince Duan's family has such a son. Is there something wrong with the ancestral tomb?
He married a wife, but was replaced by a maid, and finally a prostitute became the mistress of the house. Would their ancestors be so angry that they would come to him in his dreams at night?"
“Haha, it’s hard to say, but the original owner really suffered a lot from them back then.
After all, she was born a maid, and the original owner entered the marquis's mansion as a servant when she was 7 years old. In the first few years, she worked as a cleaning maid and received limited education.
Normally, when the eldest lady had a female teacher in class, she was not always there to serve her.
All I can say is that the original owner was smart, but some of his basics were still weak.
When the original owner married her young lady, she was accompanied by several maids as dowry.
There were also some who were well-versed in poetry and literature, but Liu Ruyi eventually discovered their true colors.”
