Yu Miaoqi and Lin have been trekking on the road for two months, and in another half a month, they can reach Shuocheng. Apart from a simple city, there is only a loess high slope that cannot be seen at the end. Whether looking from the ground or from the air, it is just a wasteland. If men want to survive here, they can only focus on reclaiming land and plant enough food for themselves; women can only rely on men. And because of the barren land and the harsh climate, how can men not even support themselves? Therefore, women are mostly regarded as burdens, and except for having children, they can only use it to vent their resentment or desires in their hearts.

No man in Shuocheng doesn't like to beat his wife. Under long-term hard work and abuse, women in Shuocheng usually live very short lives, and there are very few people who can live beyond the age of forty.

Yu Miaoqi was inquiring about the situation in Shuocheng all the way, and the more she heard, the colder she felt. On this day, the exile team stopped at a deserted inn. Everyone picked up an empty seat and sat down, took out the dry food from the package and started to eat it.

At this time, the moon was already on its head, and its extremely haggard faces were plated with a layer of bleak white by the moonlight, which looked very scary. Yu Miaoqi suddenly felt like a thorn on her back. She turned her head and found that it was a prison guard. The other party was chewing beef jerky while staring at her with bloodshot eyes. Her dark pupils were filled with tyranny and desire.

Among all the female prisoners, Yu Miaoqi is a young girl who is not married, and she looks beautiful. Although she is covered with dust all the way, she looks very shocked against the backdrop of a group of dirt-faced old wives. The prison guard held it for a long time and could no longer hold back. After chewing the beef jerky in a few seconds, he strode over and dragged Yu Miaoqi into the bushes beside her.

"What are you going to do? Help, mother, save me!" Yu Miaoqi screamed in dismay.

Lin rushed over but was kicked over by the prison guard. He covered his chest and couldn't get up for a long time.

"What's the hurry? It's your turn after getting on!" The other party's grim voice frightened the birds on the treetops.

"I am Duke Yu's sister. If you touch me, Duke Yu will definitely take you out of trouble!" Yu Miaoqi shouted loudly, and Lin quickly agreed, trying to make the prison guard retreat.

The jailer hesitated, but he still pinched Yu Miaoqi's neck and turned to look at the leading guard.

"She is indeed the sister of Duke Yu, don't kill him. I promised Old Lady Yu to send them to Shuocheng alive." The guard waved his hands casually.

"Really, really, really? As long as you don't kill me, you'll be fine?" The prison guard suspected his ears. He was not from the capital. He offended Shangfeng and was temporarily sent to the top halfway through the supply. He only heard a little about the unjust case of the Yu family that had caused a lot of trouble and had not known the inside story.

The guard smiled sarcastically, "In order to help King Li fight for the throne, she put the fabricated evidence of crime into the study of Duke Yu in order to frame Duke Yu and the prince for rebellion. Duke Yu fell into Wujiang and his life and death were not clear, and he colluded with his mother and third uncle to frame Duke Yu, and he poured basins of dirty water on one pot after another. Not to mention his legitimate brother and sister, it would be just like this if he killed his father and his enemies. If Duke Yu had not died by luck and won the Western barbarians, he would not know how much the Yu family's legitimate branch would be harmed by her. Old Mrs. Yu told him that as long as people are alive, they would not care about anything else. If you want to do it, don't be too out of line."

"My mother, there is such a vicious woman in the world, which is quite true. It's true that the words are: the mouth of the green bamboo snake and the needle of the wasp tail. Both are not poisonous and the most poisonous woman's heart!" The prison guard was astonished, and his eyes looked at Yu Miaoqi even more fiercely. He pinched her neck and pulled her back to the tree. Then the sound of tearing her clothes and the howl of the woman came.

Lin wanted to go over but was held down by the guards and warned, "He has been holding it in for two months, and now he is a hungry wolf. After eating, he will take you to cushion your belly. You have to think about it before going over."

Lin suddenly froze, knelt for a moment, and finally slowly retreated into the crowd, buried his face in the package and sobbed.

Because he was so harsh, the first time he finished, so the jailer took a break for a while and continued to go on, pushing Yu Miaoqi back and forth for half an hour. When he came out, he raised his pants and whistled, and his whole body was relieved. Yu Miaoqi was just the opposite. Her clothes had already been torn to pieces, and her face still had interlaced tears. When she walked towards Lin, her legs were trembling slightly and she could hardly stand.

She avoided the female prisoners' sympathy, numbness or gloating eyes, took out a robe to wrap herself up, and shed tears silently. No matter what, she never expected that her innocent body would be taken away by such a lowly person. She was not until the other party pierced her body and kept insulting her. She truly realized that she was no longer the daughter of a wealthy family, but a prisoner, a refugee, and an existence that was even more unbearable than a slave.

Before she arrived in Shuocheng, she had already fallen into such a situation where life was worse than death. How should she live the next life? In endless despair, Yu Miaoqi finally walked into this city standing in the desolate slope.

However, she was lucky after all. Because of her beautiful and clean appearance, she was wanted to be a maid by the butler of the city lord's mansion. Lin was also chosen as a rude woman, who was responsible for washing clothes for the master every day.

After paying the monthly money this day, Yu Miaoqi bought a box of rouge to apply it to the mirror. She was not a cheerful person, but now she looked even more gloomy with her eyes drooping. Her eyebrows seemed to be covered with a layer of stagnant black air, which looked very creepy. Lin became more and more disgusted with her. Seeing that she had put on makeup and changed into a rather vulgar clothes, she had to ask vigilantly, "What are you going to do?"

“Do what will make us live a good life.”

"Don't be a lie! Madam is a powerful man. Just let her catch you!"

"As long as I am favored by the city lord and pregnant with the city lord's descendants, how can she be with me, a hen who can't lay eggs?" Yu Miaoqi didn't care, and went out with her waist. After losing her innocence, she simply gave up. As long as she could live a wealthy and stable life again, she would do anything.

Lin stared at her back for a long time and could only sigh.

Yu Miaoqi had some tricks. After going out for three or two, she became fascinated by the city lord. After half a year, she successfully became pregnant with her child. The city lord's wife was anxious and racked her brains to kill the vixen. Her mother's cousin was in business, and the news was the most informative. She quickly found out the details of Yu Miaoqi and Lin, and sent someone to report it to her cousin.

The wife of the city lord was overjoyed and walked to the study and said to the city lord, "You dare to get it on the bed with such an ungrateful and sinister thing, and you don't have to worry that she will stab you to death and occupy your hard-earned family business after giving birth. Don't think that treating her well, Duke Yu can win your affection, nor do you think about how cold-blooded Duke Yu is. He sent Yu Miaoqi here only one purpose, so that she would suffer all her hard-earned life is worse than death. You are better, but instead sent her a wealthy life. Although our Shuocheng is desolate, it is also a major town on the border. Every three years, the emperor will send Duke Yu to patrol the border, so that he can't spare you!"

The city lord was sweating profusely when he heard this, and quickly apologized to his wife, begging her to secretly deal with Yu Miaoqi and Lin. The city lord's wife was waiting for this sentence, and when she returned, she sold the mother and daughter to the largest kiln in Shuocheng.

Lin couldn't stand the hard work, and his face grew rapidly. He was in his thirties, but he looked like an old lady over 60 years old. This became her greatest luck. When she entered the kiln, she was still responsible for washing clothes for the girls in the building, which was no different from staying in the city lord's mansion.

Yu Miaoqi was not the case. The child in her belly was abolished by the city lord's wife, and the madam forced her to pick up the customers as soon as she raised her body. Every time, when she thought she was about to make a fortune, fate would give her a fatal blow, causing her to struggle repeatedly on the brink of despair.

She wanted to escape, but she was caught back, and then she was tortured inhumanely. After a few times, she learned her lesson. She gritted her teeth and lay on the bed, allowing people to toss and turn. Over time, she polished her shame and became the most popular name in Shuocheng - prostitute.

Three years later, her value had already doubled, and Lin was also sent to her to serve her, so she would no longer have to wash a large basin of clothes on the cold weather.

"Go up quickly, there is a distinguished guest coming tonight!" The madam pushed the door open, bringing a scent of scent.

"Who is it?" Yu Miaoqi raised her eyebrows.

"It is the imperial envoy who was ordered to patrol the border. Even the city lord said that the other party is powerful. If you win him over, you will naturally enjoy endless wealth and wealth in the future. The time is coming, so hurry up and comb your hair and change your clothes and go out." The madam came and went in a hurry.

Yu Miaoqi immediately became obsessed with her and urged Lin to help her comb her hair. Which mother in the world would watch her daughter go out to sell? And which mother would frame her parents and children? Lin felt that she was no longer worthy of being a human being, and the reason why she lived was just to forgive her sins.

She picked up the comb to tie her daughter's hair, and her old face had a usual numb expression.

Yu Miaoqi took elegant steps to the living room, and saw clearly the handsome and cold man on the main seat, as if he was struck by a thunderbolt, and even his soul was broken.

"Brother?!" she exclaimed.

The city lord remembered Yu Miaoqi's life experience. Duke Yu's sister was actually a prostitute in Shuocheng, and she slapped the other person in the face. If Duke Yu was angry, he would not have to live.

The city lord was frightened and was racking his brains to think about how to deal with it. But he saw Duke Yu put down his wine glass and speak lightly, "It is a great disrespectful death penalty for pretending to be an official. Don't you want to live?"

Yu Miaoqi then remembered that she had already cut off relations with the Yu family, so she knelt down and begged for mercy, her head hanging very low, and she did not dare to look at Yu Pinyan at all.

"Go down." Yu Pinyan waved his sleeves and said to the city lord, "I don't need anyone to serve you. I just need a pot of fine wine to drink by myself. You can do whatever you want."

Seeing that he was so contemptuous, the anger he was about to his wife was instantly dissipated. He also advised him to enjoy one or two beauties, but he heard Duke Yu’s confidant beloved general teasing him, “You don’t know, the Duke is afraid of his wife, and even if he is far away, he dares not do anything randomly. He made up his mind to protect his wife like jade.”

Yu Pinyan smiled slightly and admitted in front of officials from all over the city, "That's true." It makes people worried because of love, and it makes people fear because of love. It is also a manifestation of their love for their wife.

Of course, he would never tell these mediocre people about these words, nor would he need others to understand them. He just sticks to his own bottom line.

The city lord didn't dare to say more. Seeing that Duke Yu's followers called prostitutes to drink and have fun, he slowly let go. Yu Miaoqi stood stiffly after exiting the door, and waited until the guards guarding the aisle drove forward before staggering away.

"I saw my elder brother, he was in the living room. Don't you go and see?" She grabbed Lin's eyes and a glimmer of hope burst out. Yu Pinyan can ignore herself or her own mother?

Lin was stunned for a long time before slowly coming back to his senses, and said with a slutty smile, "What are you looking at? I have already cut off the relationship between mother and son. You should stay here honestly, don't think about it anymore. We are here to forgive our sins, and we must never leave Shuocheng in this life!"

She pinched her daughter's shoulder and pressed her on the embroidery pier with the greatest strength, showing her determination in her eyes. Yu Miaoqi struggled twice, and finally lowered her head dejectedly, and endless regret surged in her heart. If she didn't want to compete with Yu Xiang at the beginning, if she married with the old lady's arrangement, if she...
