Chapter 225

Especially Chen Xier, who was originally a charming beauty with every frown and smile that could captivate people. However, after just one year, not a single bit of charm could be seen on her body, and her delicate face seemed to be covered with dust and was no longer dazzling.

However, such beauty is already a rare beauty in an ordinary family.

At this moment, Chen Xier looked at Xie Wan Ning without blinking. Looking at this face that she thought she would never see again in this life, her eyes actually turned red.

She recalled their acquaintance more than a year ago.

In the military camp outside Beijing, she was about to be sent back to the Chen family's den by the God of Death. At that time, the Chen family was about to fall. Once she went back, she would either become the daughter of a criminal, or be sent to the Music Bureau, or be sent to the military camp to entertain the soldiers, or become a domestic prostitute to entertain guests at home.

Either way is a dead end.

She is destined to be at the mercy of others and to have a miserable life.

Chen Xier still remembers the overwhelming despair at that time.

It was thanks to the plea of ​​this cousin whom she had never met that she was able to get a new life.

Over the past year, Chen Xier has never dared to forget that if she didn't have this cousin and the golden melon seeds in her pocket, she wouldn't be alive today.

Xie Wan Ning was not used to sharing her innermost feelings with others. Seeing her eyes full of tears, she pursed her lips uncomfortably, pointed to a low stool beside her and said, "Sit down and talk."

Chen Xier looked around the room and sat down.

This time, she didn't ask first, but told him about her experiences in the past year.

That day, she escaped from the military camp and wanted to live in hiding in a village near the outskirts of Beijing.

The capital city is under the feet of the emperor, so public security is good, and even an orphan like her can find a place to live and settle down.

But there was never a shortage of playboys in the capital, and her face eventually brought her trouble.

In order to avoid being forced to become a concubine again, Chen Xier fled overnight.

She didn't dare go to the north because of the continuous wars. Although bandits were rampant in the south, the imperial court had sent troops to suppress them in recent years, so there was always a way to survive. Having learned her lesson, Chen Xier didn't dare to show her face this time. She wandered all the way, passing through several cities, and finally took root in Bianzhou.

The reason is simple, it's safe here.

The bandits were pacified by Lu Ziyan, and the newly appointed officials of the court were also very honest and upright, so the people in the city lived a good life.

Chen Xier said: "I got married half a year ago. My husband's surname is Li. He is a scholar with the title of scholar."

In the past, a man of this status would never have appeared in front of Chen Xier.

As a famous beauty in Qingzhou City, she was sensible and was surrounded by young men from aristocratic families. Even when she was given away by her father, the one he sent was always a capable minister like Lu Ziyan who held military power and had the hope of becoming emperor.

And now, she married a scholar.

But there was an irrepressible look of happiness on her face.

With just one glance, Xie Wan Ning could tell how satisfied she was with her current situation.

She smiled and congratulated him, saying, "I don't have anything nice on me right now, so I don't know what you like. I'll buy it for you tomorrow as a wedding gift."

"Sister, please don't spend money on me," Chen Xier shook her head, "I don't need those expensive jewelry now."

As she spoke, she paused and whispered, "Sister, why are you here alone?"

Finally I asked it.

Xie Wan Ning sighed quietly.

Chen Xier said hurriedly: "If there is anything inconvenient to say, I won't ask."

Actually, there is nothing inconvenient about it.

Although Bianzhou is far from the capital, Lu Ziyan is a celebrity, and the news that he forcibly took the prince's wife from the Duke of Pei as his wife will spread sooner or later.
