Chapter 238: Chapter 235: The Madam’s Brow Is Furrowed, Her Grip on the Handkerchief Tightening

"You wretched girl, you dare to talk back to me? You don’t have any insight! Useless! Today, I’ll sell you off!"

She didn’t listen to what the maid said, just treated her as a punching bag, relentlessly punching and kicking, and even poured boiling water directly onto the maid.

Seeing the maid rolling on the ground in a miserable state, her mood improved slightly.

Little did she know, all of this was witnessed by the General’s wife.

She had come to comfort her daughter, but seeing this scene, her heart tightened, her face paling a few shades.

Hui’er... she always treated others kindly, no matter how angry she got, she would never act this way, right?

Could it be that what she usually sees is just her pretense?

The wife furrowed her brows, her hand clutching the handkerchief even tighter.

She quietly left.

Meanwhile, at the Wuheng Camp.

Huo Zong summoned Yu Sun to understand the background of this incident.

"The little servant who reported the news is under your command, Master. If this is because you want to take revenge on your brother, then..."

"General Huo." Before Huo Zong could finish, Ruan Mian, dressed as a soldier, walked into the tent.

Seeing her, Huo Zong was even more surprised: "Miss Ruan?"

Ruan Mian stepped forward and bluntly said: "Today’s incident was orchestrated by me."

"What the General doesn’t know is that the so-called Princess Buhui is actually my half-sister pretending to be her. I don’t know what she went through to attain this position, but I’m certain she’s trying everything to marry into Da Jing, there’s definitely something fishy."

"Moreover, as soon as she arrived at the camp, she fancied Master Yu and even invited him to the General Mansion for a night together."

Upon hearing this, Huo Zong was shocked, clearly not expecting the seemingly well-behaved princess, to be so immoral in private.

Even Yu Sun couldn’t help but speak, cupping his fist: "General, Miss Ruan speaks rightly. Such a woman certainly isn’t worthy to be by the General’s side. What’s more, the General had to be forced to separate from Miss Ruan Qing due to this marriage alliance, which is even more unworthy!"

Huo Zong looked at Ruan Mian, a hint of a smile on his lips.

"So, Miss Ruan, you killed three birds with one stone, resolving my marriage, avenging Master Yu, and punishing the villain Yu Zhi?"

"It was merely a coincidence."

Yu Zhi was a thorn in Huo Zong’s side. Because of his influence and past achievements in the army, punishing him on personal misconduct alone is hard to justify.

Now Ruan Mian found an excuse.

"General Huo, after this matter, your marriage with Princess Buhui is inevitably concluded. If the General truly has an intention towards my family member Ruan Qing, then you can begin preparing the betrothal."

"As for the imposter Princess Buhui, I have a way to expose her, completely severing her intention to return to Da Jing. But... I need the General’s help."

"Miss Ruan, just say it."

"I will need to head to Lanqiang Border Town for a few days. I heard the new governor has been appointed, it’s not as free to enter and leave Wuheng City as before."

"So I need the General to assist me with passage documents."

For Huo Zong, this was not a difficult task.

The specific timing of leaving Wuheng was yet to be decided by Ruan Mian. She needed to go back to see the Lanqiang woman she brought back from Xingjia.

After leaving the camp, she returned home that evening.

Bringing the good news about Nabuhui’s family leaving Wuheng, she told Ruan Qing.

The eldest aunt immediately clapped her hands: "See, see, what did I say?"

"Qing’er, your sister is not an ordinary person, she will definitely help you! Now it’s settled, your marriage with General Huo is destined to be together."

Ruan Qing’s eyes reddened, both shy and joyful, looking at Ruan Mian with gratitude and admiration, she kneeled down on the spot, disregarding any attempts to stop her, kowtowing to Ruan Mian several times.

"Sister! Thank you."

"We’re family, what’s there to thank? As long as you’re happy, I’ll be happy as your sister."

These words were heartfelt, although she had transmigrated here, walking all the way from exile, Ruan Mian had long considered them her real family.

Helping them, she also received many of their care.

After handling this matter, she found Shaoxi to inquire about the condition of the Lanqiang woman.

Shaoxi had been taking care of them these days, so she took Ruan Mian to see the Lanqiang woman.

"Miss, she’s much better than when she came. She can recognize people now and remember her name is Xiza."

Xiza?

Just as the words fell, the Lanqiang woman stood at the entrance of the saltpeter plantation, holding a length of white silk from somewhere.

Shaoxi and Ruan Mian exchanged glances and immediately stepped forward to stop her!

"Miss Xi Za! What are you doing?!"

Shaoxi snatched the white silk away, looking at the woman with disappointment.

The woman saw them and suddenly sank into despair, sitting on the ground, tears flowing.

She clutched Ruan Mian’s arm, muttering: "Miss, I’ve... I’ve nowhere to go anymore, I’ve spent half my life seeking kinship only to be replaced in the mansion!"

"I was tormented by her, sold off as a slave, trampled, and disgraced, now what do I have left to live for..."

"Will you stop living because of this?!" Shaoxi pointed at the houses in the plantation, speaking firmly.

"The women inside aren’t much better off than you, yet they hold hope, no matter what they want to be worthy of themselves..."

"Shaoxi."

Ruan Mian understood the reason for Shaoxi’s anger, as she once was a victim too.

This world demands too much from women, losing parents and having no support makes life indeed difficult.

Being empathetic, Shaoxi exhausted all her effort wanting to help the women with similar misfortune as hers.

But facing someone like Xiza who is in utter despair, mere words are difficult to reignite her will to live.

Only one sentence could.

"Miss, don’t you want that imposter to reveal her true colors?"

"You’ve spent half your life seeking kinship, having it stolen from you, are you willing?"

This time, indeed, Xiza’s eyes brightened but soon dimmed again: "What could I do then?"

Ruan Mian helped her up, looking at her steadily: "Take care of yourself. I’ll take you back to Lanqiang in a few days; I have a way."

She looked up incredulously at Ruan Mian’s gaze, but the determination in her eyes dissolved the doubts in Xiza’s heart.

Shaoxi patted her shoulder: "When my lady says there’s a way, there surely is a way. Look at those people; all were saved by her."

After saying this, she suddenly remembered something, looked at Ruan Mian and said: "By the way, Miss, there’s one thing I almost forgot."
