I'm already a concubine, who wants to fight with you?

Chapter 70 Jiang Xiu
Li Die'er covered the blood bag tied around her waist and abdomen and shook her head fiercely, "No, no, no, even if I get home, I won't dare to take it out within three to five months!"

Xie Fei laughed, "It's not that exaggerated. You are a good citizen now, and your hometown is remote. The Pei family won't come all the way to poison you."

Seeing that she was about to be free, Li Die'er felt that it was unreal and asked in a low voice, "My dear, is this true?"

Xie Fei put a small blood bag behind her waist and said with a smile: "What's true or false? Your grandfather and brother are in the carriage outside. As long as you can leave the city smoothly, you will be fine."

Li Die'er nodded, and then said aggrievedly: "My dear, I really didn't harm Miao."

She didn't want Xie Fei to think that she was a vicious person.

Xie Fei paused and fell silent.

After a long while, she said, "I know."

At that time, if she hadn't pretended to be sick to avoid him, Xiao Shirong would have framed her.

After tidying up, Xie Fei smoothed Li Die'er's messy hair and gently wiped the pig blood off her face with his thumb.

"After returning home, live a good life and forget all the unhappy things in the past. No matter how hard life is, you have to look forward."

Lidie'er's eyes became hot and tears rolled down her cheeks. She bit her lip and nodded repeatedly.

Just as I was reluctant to leave, a filthy man with a foul odor came in.

"Are you waiting for something unexpected to happen so you can have another thrilling fight?"

Xie Fei patted Li Die'er on the back and said, "Go quickly, Su Lu will take you out of the city."

Li Die'er didn't dare to delay, and was also afraid of implicating Xie Fei. After wiping away her tears, she lay back on the straw mat.

Su Lu brought two servants over and carried Li Die'er out.

After watching the man leave the hospital, Xie Fei suddenly glared at the man next to him.

"We agreed that you would dress up as her second grandfather, why did you change it to second uncle without my permission?"

The man shamelessly asked, "How can I, at my age, who is as handsome as a flower and as beautiful as a jade, become her grandfather?"

Xie Fei stomped his foot hard, and when he hugged his feet and jumped wildly, he snorted coldly and walked away.

Before dawn, at the side door of Pei's mansion, servants held torches and threw Li Die'er into the carriage.

In the car, Old Man Jiang and Jiang Si almost fainted when they saw Li Die'er covered in blood.

Su Lu was outside the carriage and said to the servants, "You can leave now."

"Yes." The servants left.

Su Lu gave the driver a few more instructions and told him to leave the city as soon as the city gate opened.

Xie Fei and Wu Shanyue were both standing in front of the side door. It was still late at night and everything was so quiet that not even the sound of the night watch could be heard.

After everything was arranged, Su Lu gestured to Xie Fei from a distance, then they got on the carriage and headed to the city gate together.

In the car, Li Die'er lifted a tiny corner of her eyes and secretly looked at Xie Fei.

Jiang Si pressed his sister's shoulder and whispered, "Don't look at it, don't cause trouble for the little girl."

Lidie'er burst into tears again, turned her head and lay in her brother's arms sobbing.

Old Man Jiang also wiped his tears and said, "There is still a lot of time to grow up. You should remember the kindness of Xie Xiaoniang. Maybe one day, we can repay her a little."

The carriage drove through the quiet street, carrying a tortured butterfly covered with bruises, and slowly flew away.

Wu Shanyue looked at the carriage leaving and sighed, "At least Li Die'er survived."

Xie Fei said calmly: "She is now Jiang Xiu."

Wu Shanyue murmured, "Yes, her name is Jiang Xiu, Xiu'er from the Jiang family." She vaguely remembered that before she entered the brothel, her name was not Wu Shanyue.

After so many years, she has forgotten what her real name is.

The two stood there for a long time, and Xie Fei smiled again with relief.

"If it weren't for Sister Wu's help this time, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly. On behalf of Jiang Xiu, I want to thank you for your help."

It was Wu Shanyue who took the lead in going to Baiyun Temple to pray for a child. On the way back, it was she who started the conversation, which made Miao angry, and she pushed people in rage.

Although Xie Fei could do it, he was not as natural as Wu Shanyue, an outsider. If Miao suddenly thought about it in the future, he would inevitably become suspicious.

Wu Shanyue said, "Why should I thank you? I just feel sorry for Jiang Xiu. She has been tortured to the point where she is neither human nor ghost at such a young age. Besides, you are of such a noble status and you are willing to make plans for a little girl. How can I bear to stay out of it?"

Xie Fei said faintly: "What's the point of being noble or not? Once you enter Pei's house and become a concubine, you are no longer a human being."

They are livestock and tools. Their masters can give them any excuse they want, whether selling them or beating them to death, it is all justified.

"You are a concubine after all, and your family has confidence. Even for the sake of the reputation of other daughters in the family, if something happens to you, the Xie family will not sit idly by."

The morning breeze blew Wu Shanyue's hair apart. She tucked her hair behind her ears with her index finger, just like she was on the high platform many years ago. Her every move was charming and affectionate, causing the young men in the capital to spend a fortune on her.

After several years, she had aged a lot, and even her charm and temperament were replaced by numbness, vicissitudes of life and old-fashionedness in the daily hardships in the backyard.

"People like Jiang Xiu and I are the most despicable. Even if we die unclearly one day, who can seek justice for us?"

Jiang Xiu was loved by her family, but she had no parents, brothers, or even a maid she could trust.

"Sister, if something happens to me someday and my body is thrown into the wilderness, I beg you to give me a straw mat and bury me anywhere you want, and erect a tombstone without any words on it, so that my soul will not be left alone."

Xie Fei closed his eyes and looked at the silent sky, which was faintly showing a hint of pale sky.

"Why say such depressing words? We all have to live."

Living shamelessly is better than being dead.

When I returned home, it was still dark.

Xie Fei hadn't slept the whole night, and now that he was relieved, he felt dizzy and fell onto the bed.

Fu Yu also came back and gently lowered the curtain.

"Miss, Sister Su Lu has escorted the carriage out of the city safely, and Third Brother Yuan has also returned to the village."

Xie Fei closed his eyes and muttered, "This bastard, he ran away after doing it. I'll settle the score with him when I get back!"

Afterwards, Xie Fei slept well until night.

As soon as I opened my eyes, the old lady called me to the Buddhist hall.

The Buddhist hall is very quiet, with the lingering scent of sandalwood and the sound of wooden fish gradually calming people down.

Xie Fei had been sitting in the outer room and had drunk three cups of tea before the old lady ordered her to go in and answer the question.

In front of the Buddha, the old lady, dressed in plain clothes, knelt on the cushion with her head held high and her chest puffed out. Under the dim Buddha lamp, her curled up shadow kept changing shape due to the shaking flame.

Xie Fei also knelt down on the cushion at the back, put his hands together and prayed, then kowtowed to the old lady.

"I have failed the old lady's trust. I am really unable to handle the affairs of the mansion. I hope the old lady can take back the power of housekeeper."

The old lady tapped the wooden fish gently and said indifferently, "You can even devise a plan to get back the servant's indenture, so what else can't you do?"

On the side, Mother Deng and Su Lu both bowed their heads and served.

Xie Fei glanced at Su Lu and smiled, "Old Madam, you are very clear-headed. Nothing I do can be hidden from you. I should have consulted you first, but I was afraid that I would disturb your hard training for a servant, so I had to act on my own and now I am here to accept the punishment."
