After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

In a simple hut, under a dim butter lamp, two women were chewing meat buns, one talking and the other listening.

All the beauty of Yin Le stopped at the age of seventeen, when he was kidnapped by horse bandits.

She was lucky to be rescued by her benefactor and escaped from the gangster's den.

But she was unfortunate. Her relatives who had loved her so much in the past seventeen years all turned their backs on her.

A woman who disappears for several days and then suddenly comes back will inevitably have a lot of talk among the neighbors.

But no matter how much outsiders thought, they would never know that she was kidnapped by horse bandits.

Because the benefactor really did what she said, the government had no idea that there was an escaped woman in the gangster's den.

Only the Yin family knew about this matter.

On the day their daughter was lost, they tried to remain calm and returned home. No one in the surrounding countryside knew the truth.

When Yin Le staggered to the door of her house alone, her neighbors asked her if she had gone to visit relatives.

At that moment, Yin Le was filled with gratitude. She felt that as long as she entered the house, everything would be fine.

Her parents, brother-in-law and sister-in-law would give her countless reasons. Soon this matter would be over and she could return to her normal life.

However, the first thing she did when she entered the house was that her mother and sister-in-law had to check her body.

No one cared about how she came back. Her father and brother chatted endlessly, asking her repeatedly what she had experienced in the gangster den.

For Yin Le, those days were more terrifying than being next to the bandit leader.

She locked herself in the room, but the questions outside the door never stopped.

Later, a matchmaker came to her door. When she heard her mother and father hesitatingly hinting to the matchmaker that their daughter was no longer perfect and hoping that the matchmaker would help hide it, she knew that she would never have a home again.

The matchmaker found a wealthy businessman who was in his fifties, seriously ill, and waiting to marry a new concubine.

Her parents were so grateful that they even felt that their daughter was not worthy of others and were afraid that others would dislike them, so they specially prepared a generous dowry for her.

Yin Le was in great pain. She didn't want to be a concubine, let alone marry a dead old man who was half-buried.

She came back desperately to end the nightmare and return to the normal and warm days of the past.

Not to make yourself a 'shame' that cannot be mentioned openly!

After simply packing a few clothes, Yin Le left.

She was filled with new hopes, wanting to find a good job, support herself, and never come back again.

But on the first day out, due to lack of experience, he was deceived by Yapo who claimed to be a broker and sold to a county brothel.

Her beautiful face was burned with a red-hot firewood stick by herself just to avoid accepting guests.

The burns were severe, and Madam Pan from the brothel was so angry that she gave her a few more whips.

Yin Le didn't think she could be more terrifying than the bandit leader. He was as tough as crazy and scratched Pan's mother several deep bloody marks.

After all, she spent money to buy her. Pan's mother did not kill her, but threw her into the top house at the time to be a foot-washing maid.

God loves to play tricks on people. Whenever I'm in a desperate situation and I think I can't hold on any longer, he suddenly shows mercy and sends a good man to me.

Yin Le laughed at herself and continued to describe her short career as a foot-washing maid.

The burnt face was not treated, and not only the ulcer became more serious, but Yin Le's body was also infected and developed a high fever.

She had been feeling groggy all day and felt that she was going to die tonight.

But one day after falling asleep, I opened my eyes and saw the red lantern hanging high on the brothel door.

One day when she woke up again, she found that someone was gouging out the ulcerated flesh on her face, washing her with good wine, and applying cool ointment to her.

She is the top girl Shaoyao she serves. The person Pan's mother said has a weird temper and is perverted, but she is not like this.

That was just a mask she made to protect herself. Privately, Miss Shaoyao was a very good person.

The maids who serve her will never be beaten or punished for no reason.

Occasionally, if a guest had leftover delicious food, she would secretly reward it to the maids serving around her.

Under Shaoyao's secret care, the burn on Yin Le's face gradually improved, but the ugly scar could never be removed.

Yin Le has no regrets. She is very proud that she has protected her body.

Miss Shaoyao once joked, If I had Yueniang and you were so cruel, we would be in a different situation right now.

Yin Le smiled bitterly, Girl, I was lucky enough to meet you. Without you, Yueniang would have been buried in a mass grave.

However, she was indeed cruel, and Shaoyao was right about that.

The brothel kitchen was set on fire, and Yin Le fled.

Originally, she wanted to escape with Shaoyao, but Shaoyao had never done any heavy work and was not strong enough to climb over the high wall.

Shaoyao was free and easy, and immediately committed himself to be her stepping stone, sending her out of the high wall.

It's good to be able to leave alone. Shaoyao smiled and said: As long as I stay to help you cover up, you can run further.

Let's go, hide first, and then leave the city when dawn comes. Run as far away as possible, and never come back!

Wait, this is for you!

A red mandarin duck bellyband was thrown out from the high wall, and Yin Le caught it. It was the one she said looked good.

Shaoyao's most beloved item was kept at the bottom of the box, and she didn't forget to take it with her even when she ran away.

But at this moment, she gave it to her.

Hold on, I will find a way to come back and save you! Yin Le put away his bellyband and ran while looking back and shouting at the high courtyard wall.

The noisy sound of fire fighting drowned out her voice, and Yin Le still doesn't know if Shaoyao heard what she said.

Most likely I didn't hear it.

Otherwise she would still be alive at this moment.

Qin Yao had already filled her stomach. When she heard this, she put down her water glass and frowned and asked, Is Shaoyao dead?

Yin Le nodded painfully, After I escaped, I secretly returned home. I stole ten taels of silver from my father and came to this remote village. After I settled down, I asked someone to inquire and found out that not long after I left, , Shaoyao will die.

She accidentally became pregnant with the customer's child. The drug took most of her life and the bleeding continued. Pan's mother was reluctant to part with the money and found a barefoot doctor. The doctor said she wouldn't live long, so Pan's mother carried her into the hospital. In the coffin.”

I heard Shaoyao shouting from inside: Mom, I'm still alive, I'm not dead yet! Mom, please give me a cure, and I can make more money for you.

Then there was no more sound.

The oil lamp on the table flickered and a candle exploded. The room went dark for a moment, then slowly lit up.

Under the orange light, Yin Le had already burst into tears.

Qin Yao stood up and came to her side, lifting her sleeves and saying, Wipe your face first, and then show me that bellyband.

Song Zhang specifically explained the importance of Yueniang, which shows that there is something in her that makes Pan Meiren afraid.

After listening to Yin Le's description, Qin Yao felt that the red mandarin duck bellyband was the most suspicious.
