Chapter 119: A Commoner Woman's Revenge on the Powerful (27)
Before falling asleep again, Shui Zhizi was still thinking about how to deal with the matter of her having scolded Duan Hong before.
Although Shui Zhizi admitted that it was her true feelings, how could she say such true feelings to Zheng Hong, the King of War?
She was really angry and confused at the time, and she had a fever so she spoke without thinking.
Does this mean that Zheng Hong has caught me?
The next day, when Shui Zhizi woke up, she saw a strange girl standing next to her.
"you are?"
"To answer your question, Boss Shui, I am Furong, a maid in the Rui Palace. I was sent by the Rui King to take care of you. From now on, I will be yours."
Shui Zhizi thought for a moment and asked, "If King Rui and I both give orders to you, who will you obey?"
Furong seemed stunned when asked and didn't give an answer for a long time.
Shui Zhizi laughed out loud instead, "Then stay with me from now on."
The fact that Prince Rui did not tell the maid the answer to this question shows that Prince Rui had never thought that she and he would have different choices.
This is also a manifestation of trust to some extent.
Through this injury, Shui Zhizi also realized that it would be inconvenient many times if she didn't have a maid by her side.
Anyone sent by King Rui must be someone who can be trusted as long as her goal is consistent with that of King Rui.
Shui Zhizi, the personal maid, does not have time to train someone who is both capable and trustworthy, so Shui Zhizi is not going to refuse the person sent by King Rui.
After Furong skillfully washed and dressed the injured Shui Zhizi, she told Shui Zhizi that Da Zhuang was waiting for her outside, and then she quietly waited outside.
Moreover, Furong was at a distance that ensured she could not hear the voices of people in the house.
Shui Zhizi was satisfied. No wonder King Rui sent Furong here. She was indeed a smart person.
"Is there a result?" If the thing arranged for Da Zhuang yesterday had not had a result, Da Zhuang would not have been waiting for her so early.
"Yes." Da Zhuang's tone was a little heavy.
Shui Zhizi sat upright, waiting to hear the news that Dazhuang would bring her.
"Mrs. Li went to Daiyue Pavilion three months ago and sent a girl. This girl is called Ren Yue. She is a good girl and her family is just an ordinary farmer."
How could a farmer be related to someone of Ying Wan'er's status?
"Three months ago, this woman took the handkerchiefs and sachets she embroidered at home to sell at a shop in the city. As a result, she was knocked down on the road and the basket of handkerchiefs and sachets fell to the ground."
Shui Zhizi pursed her lips. The dusty handkerchief and sachet that fell on the ground might not be sold.
"We just happened to meet Lord Li and Madam Li who were shopping. Lord Li helped Miss Ren pick up the handkerchief and sachet."
"And then?" Shui Zhizi was already angry.
"After Miss Ren thanked Lord Li, she was slapped by Madam Li for no apparent reason. Miss Ren was so angry that she asked Madam Li why she slapped her?"
"Mrs. Li said that it was because Miss Ren smiled at Lord Li and was trying to seduce Lord Li. Miss Ren then told Mrs. Li that she would never seduce a married man and Lord Li was not her type."
"After that, Miss Ren took the handkerchief and sachet, which were still dusty, to the shop where she usually sold them. After much negotiation, she finally sold them at a low price."
"As a result, Miss Ren was captured by several people just after she left the shop. When she woke up, she was already in Daiyue Pavilion."
Shui Zhizi clenched her fists and said, "Didn't she escape?"
"She tried to escape, beg for mercy, and run away. She tried both soft and hard methods, but she failed to escape. The people in Daiyue Pavilion told Miss Ren that someone would not allow her to leave Daiyue Pavilion again in her life."
Shui Zhizi's chest rose and fell noticeably, and her wound hurt even more.
"Just because Li Chuan picked up the handkerchief and sachet that Miss Ren was selling? Just because Miss Ren smiled? Are you sure it was Ying Wan'er who did it?"
What an outrageous and ridiculous thing.
"The person I found found out about Miss Ren Yue and went to Daiyue Pavilion to find Miss Ren Yue. Miss Ren Yue said all this herself. Miss Ren Yue said that the people who captured her told her before they knocked her out that if they wanted to blame anyone, it was because she smiled too beautifully."
Shui Zhizi threw all the things on the table to the ground. How could Ying Wan'er dare to do that?
It is clear that the Yan Dynasty has very severe punishments for human trafficking. Not only will the perpetrators be hanged, but even their families will be implicated.
"Didn't Miss Ren's family look for her?" Was it because Ren Yue didn't have the chance to report to the police?
"We did. Miss Ren's family found Daiyue Pavilion a month later and reported the matter to the authorities, but the matter was left unresolved."
"why?"
"I don't know why Miss Ren said that her brother found Daiyue Pavilion and said he would report to the police after seeing her. But in the end, her brother came back crying and told her that her family couldn't save her and asked her to take care of herself."
Shui Zhizi sneered, "Miss Ren's family has been threatened. Da Zhuang will go check again. Go to Miss Ren's village to find out who threatened Miss Ren's family."
If Ying Wan'er showed up in person, then Ying Wan'er's guilt this time would be confirmed.
As long as she tells this matter at the right time and place, Ying Wan'er will not be able to escape.
Later, Shui Zhizi realized how ridiculous her naivety was.
When Da Zhuang heard the order, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Shui Zhizi, who seemed to have thought of something.
"How is Miss Ren's condition?"
"The person I talked to said that Ye seemed to have gotten used to life in Daiyue Pavilion, but he was very out of control when he mentioned this matter."
"Let someone redeem Miss Ren."
Da Zhuang was a little embarrassed. "I'm afraid not. Didn't Miss Ren say that someone wouldn't let her leave Daiyue Pavilion?"
"Find someone to pretend to be a businessman and offer a high price that Dai Yuege cannot refuse. Say that we also run a brothel in another city and want Ren Yue to go to our place. Unless Ren Yue dies, we will not let her return to Kyoto."
Da Zhuang is somewhat skeptical whether this method is really feasible?
"Go ahead and try it first. If it doesn't work, I'll think of another way."
If that doesn't work, ask the master to get some medicine and do something to Ren Yue so that Daiyue Pavilion will abandon Ren Yue on its own initiative.
Whether it was because she needed a witness to sue Ying Wan'er, or because she didn't want Ren Yue to suffer such pain, although it was a bit troublesome, Shui Zhizi still wanted to pull Ren Yue out.
"Yes."
Shui Zhizi thought that it would be very difficult to get Ren Yue out of Daiyue Pavilion, but in fact Shui Zhizi met Ren Yue the next day.
The people in Daiyue Pavilion said that they couldn't find the person who said that Ren Yue would stay in Daiyue Pavilion forever. So the people in Daiyue Pavilion went to Li's house to ask.
The people in Daiyue Pavilion wanted to make that huge sum of money, so they didn't tell Ying Wan'er in detail about Ren Yue's specific situation. They only asked Ying Wan'er how to deal with Ren Yue.
No one in the Li Mansion knew who Ren Yue was, and Ying Wan'er even said that she had never heard of this name.
