Chapter 368: Never Give Up
Zhenzhu continued to recover from her wounds while spending a month with him. When her wounds were all healed, the thief was no longer on guard against her. One day, when the thief was not at home, she took all the thief's silver and ran away.
Zhenzhu knew that she was now a fugitive slave and could not stay in Lincheng.
She was kidnapped and sold to Pingyang Marquis Mansion when she was young. She didn't know where her parents and family were. Lincheng was close to Xishan County, so she fled to Xishan County.
But the journey became more and more difficult. Not only could she not find food on the road, but there were also many refugees. After walking for a while, Zhenzhu gave herself to a refugee leader and followed him all the way.
She suffered a lot along the way, eating tree bark, grass roots, snakes, insects, rats, ants, and even human flesh.
She was about to reach Huainan County. She thought she would have a way to survive in Huainan County, but she didn't know that she couldn't enter the city without silver and household registration.
Zhenzhu gritted her teeth, found a human trafficker, and sold herself.
The trafficker had a way to get into the city, brought her to Huainan County, and sold her to a rich businessman.
The rich businessman was originally from Ping'an City, and came to Huainan County to buy a batch of goods. Unexpectedly, he took a long time and only brought two servants. He felt that eating and living were not very convenient. Seeing that there were many women being bought and sold here, and it was cheap, he spent five taels of silver to buy a maid to serve tea and water and warm the bed.
Zhenzhu was originally a smart person, otherwise she would not have become the second lady's maid in the Pingyang Marquis's mansion without any foundation.
She deliberately flattered the rich businessman and made him smile.
Later, the rich businessman took her back to Ping'an City and took her as his ninth concubine.
Now, the rich businessman was still fresh to her, so she had money to go out and buy jewelry today.
She was quite satisfied at first. After all, she lived a life of wearing gold and silver, having maids to serve her, and having clothes and food to eat.
Unexpectedly, she saw Gu Fei today.
What this person fears most is comparison.
Once the reference changed, the original happiness immediately turned into misfortune.
They were all the same girls, and she couldn't understand why the second lady preferred jadeite. Now jadeite has become the owner of the silver shop.
There are still a few shops!
How much silver does jadeite have?
In order to buy a gold hairpin, she not only washes the feet and massages the back of the rich businessman every day, but also has to endure the perverted torture of the rich businessman.
And all the gold hairpins in the silver shop are jadeite!
Why!
Why is God so unfair!
She must have swallowed the silver of the second lady!
Besides, if it weren't for jadeite harming her, she wouldn't have almost lost her life!
Hatred grew wildly in her heart like weeds.
Pearl went out happily and came back with a belly full of resentment.
When she came back, she lay on the bed, thinking hard, no, she couldn't watch that bitch live a good life like this, she would not stop until she killed that bitch!
Gu Fei didn't know that someone was thinking about her.
After coming out of the silver shop, she thought about what other dowry she needed to buy, and slowly walked back to the inn.
There was a carriage parked at the door of the inn. Gu Fei passed by the carriage. Suddenly, the curtain of the carriage was lifted and a voice came from inside, "Miss Gu——"
Gu Fei turned around and saw Qin Ying sitting in the carriage, nodding to her.
Gu Fei nodded slightly, "Miss Qin."
Qin Ying came out of the carriage and smiled at Gu Fei, "Miss Gu, I have something to talk to you about."
Gu Fei didn't know what she was going to do, so she nodded, "If Miss Qin doesn't mind, can we go inside and talk in the lobby?"
