“In the past, there was a girl who was good-looking since she was young. She could be said to be as beautiful as a flower, even more beautiful than XishiO.” Ji Zhao picked up a piece of sugar cake and took a small bite. Then, she began to explain tirelessly, “Anyone who has seen this girl must praise her for being good-looking. In addition, this girl is especially obedient and polite. She smiles at everyone she meets. When this girl reached adulthood, her parents arranged a good marriage for her. However, the change happened on the day this girl went to the market to buy sewing materials.”
“This girl originally wanted to buy some embroidery threads to personally sew her bridal attire. Just as she was about to leave after buying the embroidery threads, a rich and powerful young master blocked her path. That rich young master saw that the girl was extraordinarily beautiful and lusted after her. He harassed her repeatedly. In the end, he even used some methods to forcefully take that girl.”
At this point, Feng Chunyan covered her mouth in shock.
“The girl lost her innocence, and that husband she had yet to marry also came to break off the engagement when he heard the news. The girl felt lonely and depressed and washed her face with tears every day. She was extremely sad.
What’s even more tragic is that there were many rumors in the county city for no reason. Some people who don’t know the truth at all are spreading rumors, saying that the girl deliberately seduced the profligate young master and that’s why she ended up like this…”
“How can those people do that?” Feng Chunyan was furious. She clenched her fists in anger. “How can those self-righteous people make things up without knowing the truth?”
Looking at the furious Feng Chunyan, Ji Zhao smiled without saying anything.
Realizing that she had overreacted, Feng Chunyan gently tugged at her sleeve and said in embarrassment, “Sister Ah Tao, what happened after that? How did that girl do after that?”
“Chunyan, there are two versions of this story. One is happy and the other is sad. Which one do you want to hear first?” Ji Zhao smiled and looked into her eyes as she asked seriously.
“I want to hear the sad ending first…”
“That girl never dreamed that she would be slandered by others even though she was clearly a victim. She was too sad, so she didn’t want to live anymore. Just as she was about to secretly hang herself, her parents discovered her and saved her at the last moment. However, because she was injured, she couldn’t speak anymore. From then on, she cut her hair and became a nun. She accompanied the ancient Buddha for the rest of her life and finally died alone. ‘
“This girl’s parents were also disdained by others. In the end, they died one after another.”
“How could this be…” Feng Chunyan’s tears fell again.
“There’s another version of the ending. Chunyan, do you want to hear it?” Ji Zhao looked at her with her chin in her hands and smiled faintly.
After seeing her nod, Ji Zhao chuckled and said, “After that incident, that girl was sad for more than half a month. She knew that the rumors outside were all deliberately spread by that silk-pants who had succeeded in raping her. This girl did not care about the others’ pointed gazes and went to the brothel.”
“To the brothel?” Feng Chunyan’s jaw dropped. “What was she doing there?”
“The girl spent a lot of money and learned some skills to serve people in the brothel. Then, she thought of a way to sell the family’s assets and sent her Father and Mother far away. In the end, she recommended herself and went to the residence of that profligate young master. About half a month later, that girl schemed to cripple that profligate young master and finally left secretly.
“Later on, the girl met a man who treated her very well. That man did not mind that the girl was no longer a virgin. In the end, the two of them got together and had two children. From then on, they lived a happy life.’
Feng Chunyan nodded subconsciously. ‘This lady has finally come to her senses.”
“So, Chunyan, do you think this story has any special meaning?” Ji Zhao patted her shoulder and said seriously, “Everyone takes different approaches to solve problems. This girl’s two choices have created two different lives. ‘
“Sister Ah Tao, I think I understand what you mean.”
After pondering for a moment, Feng Chunyan suddenly looked up and said, “Compared to the girl in this story, my situation is much better. Moreover, I didn’t do anything wrong, so I can’t look down on myself.”
“You’re so smart!’ Ji Zhao smiled and rubbed her head. “No wonder Eldest Sister-in-law often praises Chunyan for being smart. You understood immediately!”
“Thank you so much, Sister Ah Tao!’
Feng Chunyan felt much better after Ji Zhao comforted her.
“This sugar cake is really delicious. I’ll give some to Sister to try–” In the third month of spring, the weather became warmer and brighter.
Magistrate Ma’s transfer was also issued.
As expected, he was promoted.
From a seventh-rank county magistrate to a sixth-rank Yunchuan Prefecture official.
County Magistrate Ma was approaching the age of forty. He had thought that his career had come to an end.
Unexpectedly, such a huge pie had fallen from the sky!
“Congratulations, Master.” Seeing his happy expression, Madam Hou bowed slightly. “Now that the transfer order has been issued, shouldn’t we make preparations in advance?”
“Yes!’ Magistrate Ma stroked his beard in satisfaction and said, “When the newly appointed county magistrate takes office, let’s set off.”
“By the way, Master, my mother happened to send a letter a few days ago. This newly appointed county magistrate of Dingyuan seems to have a powerful background?”
“Yes.” Magistrate Ma nodded slightly. “I’ve heard of him too. I heard that he’s from the capital. Moreover, this person is quite favored. We have to prepare well and not be rude.”
“I understand.” Madam Hou nodded obediently. Then, she frowned awkwardly. “I’m just a little worried about that child, Tianxiang. I’m afraid he’s still trying to split hairs, to go down a dead end! This child is really too much. If he likes that girl, he can marry her officially, but he has to use such a method… I really don’t feel at ease.”
“She’s just a village girl. How can she be worthy of Tianxiang?” Magistrate Ma said with a tense expression. “If it weren’t for Shen Yao’s tact, I wouldn’t have let this matter go.”
A few days ago, Shen Yao personally came to deliver a box of rice cakes.
At that time, Magistrate Ma’s expression was not good, but he endured it in the end.
Rice cakes had the meaning of achievng greater success year after year. It also meant that the Shen family would keep their mouth shut about Ma Tianxiang’s previous actions.
Of course, Magistrate Ma also interfered in the dispute between Eldest Brother Shen and Zhao’s Rice Shop’s rice shop and declared that the contract signed by Eldest Brother Shen was invalid.
Thanks to County Magistrate Ma’s intervention, the workers in the rice shop stopped.
Even so, Magistrate Ma still felt that he had suffered a loss.
