Chapter 31: A Sad Fate
"You can't refuse this. Look at yourself now! If you continue like this, I'll have to replace the people around you. β
"Mother, you can't do that. β
"If you keep going like this, it's not just that. I can do more extreme things. The daughter I taught was smart and should know what I meant. I hope that the next time I come to pick you up, you will look like a concubine of the Prime Minister's house. β
Jin Yuyan became majestic, with a strong sense of oppression.
Sang Qingrou looked at Jin Yuyan and realized the pressure that this identity was originally under. This is the pressure exerted by a mother with a traditional mind, she is just loving her daughter in her own way, in a way that she cannot accept.
She wanted to try to change Jin Yuyan's mind, but it seemed to be quite difficult.
Sang Qingrou sighed: "Mother, do you have to be like this?"
"As long as you're good, I can give you everything, as long as you want. But the thoughts you told me before, don't say it again. As a woman, you don't have that much freedom, especially you. Mothers in the world are all for the good of their children, and you will not be wrong if you listen to me. β
Jin Yuyan scolded Ruyu sharply: "Listen, in the future, if I see you with Miss again, you are unruly." I'll just throw you away and feed the dogs! Don't think that Miss can keep you and do what you have to do. Do you hear that?"
"The slave doesn't dare!
Ruyu knelt on the ground, trembling while thanking her. Until Jin Yuyan walked away, she didn't dare to stand up.
Sang Qingrou looked outside and quickly helped Ruyu up from the ground. When Ruyu saw that Sang Qingrou wanted to help herself, she was so frightened that she retreated again and again.
"Miss, I can't help it. The slave is lowly and does not deserve such good treatment from the young lady. Slaves and maids, you can get up by yourself. β
Sang Qingrou looked at Ruyu's humble appearance, very helpless. With her current ability, she can't change the status quo. It would be nice if I could get my mother to change her mind.
"Don't be afraid! I'll protect you. My mother is gone, but we can still be the same as before. β
Ruyu didn't dare anymore!
It's that she's too naΓ―ve to think that she can really be friends with Miss. These days, although she is living happily, Jin Yuyan's words made her completely sober.
Miss is a high-ranking young lady, that is a daughter's body, unlike her, from a humble background.
Seeing Ruyu being so cautious, Sang Qingrou no longer insisted on it.
"Okay! Once I've got these things out of the way, we'll be the same as before. I will protect you and will not let anyone hurt you. β
Sang Qingrou's words, Ruyu listened, and said that it was false if she was not moved. These days of getting along, she also felt the change of the young lady. It's just that she also wants to live well and spend more time by Miss's side.
She was just a servant girl and had no right to anger Madame.
Sang Qingrou lay on the rocking chair, looked up at the boxy sky, and felt for the first time that becoming Sang Qingrou had lost a lot of freedom. Try to change your fate and make your ending a little better.
She wanted to stay out of it, but the people around her oppressed her and didn't let her stay out of it.
Could it be that she is doomed, she is going to be involved in this story and can't be an outsider?
"Ruyu, go buy me wine!"
"Miss, you forgot, Madame said just now. β
"I don't go out, can't I have some wine?" Miss, I'm in a bad mood, let me drink some!" she sighed, her eyes grieving.
Ruyu had never seen Sang Qingrou have such a look, and remembering what she said just now, Ruyu let it go.
"Okay! Miss wants to drink whatever wine, I secretly ask someone to buy it. β
"Anything is good, go and come back quickly. β
Ruyu responded and secretly ran out to buy wine for Sang Qingrou. She lay under the tree, looking at the blue sky of this world, thinking, not knowing when she would be able to leave the cage and do what she wanted to do.
She was accustomed to the days of freedom and ease, and was suddenly locked up in the mansion, and after a long time, her heart was naturally depressed.
Looking at the clouds floating in the sky, she seemed to see the smile of her loved ones. It's been a while, I don't know, I haven't contacted myself, will my grandparents worry about me?
I don't know when she will be able to leave this world and return to her original life trajectory.
Ruyu brought several jars of wine, Sang Qingrou's eyes lit up, and she took a jar and handed it to Ruyu.
"Together?"
Ruyu waved her hand: "The slave maid should keep an eye on it! In case someone comes again, it is better to take cover." Miss, you drink less, in case something happens, the slave's life will be gone. β
She smiled and sighed: "When is this kind of life a head?" She lay down and drank directly with the jar, and her bold appearance made Ruyu stunned.
She doesn't look like a lady in the boudoir at all, but she has a different charm, such Sang Qingrou, her body is covered with the color of the sunset, and she looks particularly good.
Sang Qingrou only ate a little bit of the dinner that was delivered. After drinking a jar of wine, she was still very sober.
Sang Qingrou also thought, if she was drunk, would she go back? But the more she drank, the more sober she became.
"Ruyu, have you ever thought that this world will change. Men and women are equal, there is no difference in status, and you are not a humble handmaiden. Everyone is the same, they have equal rights, they can do what they like, and you don't have to serve others. β
"What is the slave going to do?"
"Look at yourself! What do you want to do. Women can also go out and earn money, everyone is the same. A man will not have three wives and four concubines. They can only have one wife for the rest of their lives, and if the relationship breaks down, they can be separated, and in the future, men and women will marry, and they have nothing to do with each other. β
Ruyu fantasized about the world described by Sang Qingrou and laughed happily.
"Miss, you've drunk too much. How could there be such a world?"
"There really is!" Sang Qingrou didn't know how to make Ruyu believe, perhaps, she would never see that beautiful world in her life.
If only she could bring Ruyu into her world!
Realizing that she had such a ridiculous thought, she suddenly laughed out loud and reached out to touch Ruyu's head.
"In the future, if you have someone you like, you must tell me. I will make the decision for you, let you choose the person you like freely, marry with dignity, and live happily for the rest of your life. β
Ruyu looked shy, and shook her head again and again: "Slaves and maids don't want to marry, slaves and maids will follow Miss and serve Miss for a lifetime." β
"I'm not that selfish, and you have the right to pursue your own happiness. Ruyu, if one day, you find someone who loves you and you like, you must tell me. β
