His wife Lu was slightly stunned, and the cruel arc of the corners of her lips turned into sarcasm, and said, "You are only twelve years old, and you want to be punished by your mother?" ”

"Lou Yue, don't!" Otoki's eyes widened in disbelief and looked at her daughter with a look of surprise.

Jiang Louyue didn't look at her mother, but stared at Lu directly, her eyes burning, and said, "Yes, Lou Yue is willing to be punished on behalf of her mother!" ”

Lu laughed and scoffed.

"If you are willing to be tortured as a surrogate, exchange your face for it."

Jiang Louyue frowned slightly.

Face?

What do you mean?

Lu's nails are very long, and they are well maintained, and they are covered with cloisonné nail covers that only concubines in the palace are allowed to wear.

The Lu clan took a step towards Ling Luo, put his long nails on Jiang Louyue's white and tender cheeks, and gently slid them over.

The cold and sharp touch made Jiang Louyue's heart feel cold.

"It's only twelve years old, and it looks like this, which really makes Mrs. Ben a woman look at it, and she can't help but shake her heart." Lu's tone was a little yin and yang, and he shook his head gently.

"Seven girls, your most valuable face is your face. And your mother, the most valuable thing is her talent and piano skills. If you want to take your mother to suffer, why don't you exchange your face for your mother's tongue and tesuji. ”

Jiang Lou's moon surface did not change color, and he didn't even blink his eyelids, his beautiful eyes were crystal clear, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and the clouds were light and breezy.

"If you want it, just take it."

Her voice was calm, like first snow, clear and serene.

Lu Shi was stunned, his sharp nails pinched Jiang Louyue's porcelain muscles, and his movements hesitated.

What's wrong with this girl?

How not to be afraid?

Shouldn't a twelve-year-old cardamom girl cherish her face the most?

Jiang Louyue looked at Lu fixedly, as if she understood the doubts in her eyes, and said, "Lou Yue is a concubine, she has no status, and her second mother has a low status, so it is impossible to do anything in this life, and keeping this face will only bring disaster." Auntie's move today is really a fulfillment of Lou Yue. ”

What's the use of looking beautiful?

The lesson of blood in her previous life still makes her tremble.

In her previous life, she admired Gu Shizi and tried every means to confuse him with her appearance, and finally got what she wanted and became Gu Lingshu's concubine.

But what about later?

As the eldest sister of Gu Lingshu's main room, Jiang Zixin wanted to harm her three or four times, and killed her maid Liu Fu.

The husband Gu Lingshu was even more desperate, and directly sent her to the tyrant's bed as a bargaining chip for the deal.

"Okay, you girl is still a good acquaintance, and Mrs. Ben will fulfill you."

As he spoke, a cruel look crossed Lu's eyes, and sharp nails slashed into Jiang Louyue's beautiful and delicate little face.

A thrilling blood stain slid from the inner corner of the eye all the way to the root of the back ear, more than three inches long!

"No—"

Yin Xi let out a heart-rending roar, "Big lady, how can you be so ruthless?!" ”

Jiang Louyue didn't even blink her eyelids, the corners of her lips hooked a gentle smile, looked at Yin Xi, and said, "Mother, I'm fine, it doesn't hurt at all." ”

What is this pain?

The pain of her Jiang Louyue being pressed and humiliated by the tyrant, biting her tongue and committing suicide is the real heart-wrenching!

Then, Jiang Louyue turned to the direction of the Lu family, respectfully blessed her body, and said, "Thank you for the grace of the eldest lady, Lou Yue is grateful." ”

"Hahahaha-"

Seeing Jiang Louyue's face ruined, and seeing Yinxi's collapse and crying, the Lu family couldn't mention how happy he was, and looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.

"Let's go!"

Lu Shi was relieved and happy, his wide sleeves floated, the purple shadow flashed, and he turned around and left the firewood room.

The mothers-in-law who followed the Lu family also lowered their heads and left.

"Lou Yue, Lou Yue!"

Yin Xi seemed to be crazy, her face was full of tears of remorse, she got up from the ground, hugged her daughter tightly, and said incoherently, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my mother who is sorry for you, it's my mother who ruined you, it's my mother who ......"

"It was my mother who redeemed me."

Jiang Louyue interrupted Yinxi's words and gently patted her mother's back, as if she was coaxing a panicked child.

Otoki's sobs gradually faded, and her mood stabilized.

She didn't understand what Lou Yue's "redemption" meant, and she didn't ask.

The only thing she understands is that her daughter is not the same as before.

The two of them supported each other and returned to the Qin Pavilion.

Qin Pavilion is located in the northwest corner of the Hou Ye's Mansion, remote and desolate, the place is not big, no one cares about it all day long.

This is the treatment of concubines.

After returning to the house, Otoki helped her daughter treat her wounds, applying gold sore medicine and tying a white bandage.

After bandaging, Otoki turned around and went into the inner room.

Jiang Louyue was still a little surprised, and after a while, she saw her mother build a brazier in the yard, and then threw all the poetry collections she treasured into the fire.

"Mother, what are you doing?"

Jiang Louyue got up and rushed to the courtyard, looking at her mother's strange behavior.

"Burned! All burned! ”

Yin Xi's face was full of determination, watching the fire burn his most cherished things in the past, with a pale smile on the corner of his lips, and said, "If it weren't for these things, my Lou Yue wouldn't have suffered this catastrophe today." ”

Jiang Louyue was stunned, and a warm current poured into her heart.

"Mother, you don't have to ......"

Before she finished speaking, Yin Xi turned around and rushed into the house again, and after a while, she hugged her beloved xylophone, and muttered, "Smash, smash, these are all scourges, all scourges!" ”

As if to vent his anger, Otoki took the xylophone he once loved and smashed it the stone pillar.

There was a loud bang.

However, what is surprising is that the xylophone was not broken, and lay in Otoki's hand unharmed.

"Also...... It's really sturdy. The corners of Yinxi's lips hooked up into a miserable smile, "Hehe." ”

Jiang Louyue looked at her mother's hysterical behavior, and did not step forward to stop it.

She knew that her mother's emotions were on the verge of collapse, and the faith she had held on to for many years in her heart had collapsed, and she urgently needed an outlet.

"Since you keep smashing, let's burn it."

After saying that, Yin Xi mercilessly threw the xylophone in his hand into the brazier, and the tongue of fire quickly surged, devouring the xylophone that looked very old.

Jiang Louyue sighed softly.

Well, let my mother go.

Later, my mother was tired of crying and burning, so she went back to her room to rest.

At dusk, the sun is setting and the sky is full of light.

Jiang Louyue sat on the threshold of desolation and silence, holding her knees with her hands, and a relieved smile on the corner of her lips.

"From today onwards, it's a new life." She told herself.

I sat like this, and I don't know how long it took, the sky was getting dark, the autumn insects were chirping, and the stars were all over the sky.

The books in the brazier were burned to ashes, and only the small sparks that were bright and uncertain remained.

Suddenly, Jiang Louyue's eyes were attracted by a golden light in the brazier.

"What's that?"

Jiang Louyue was surprised, stood up, walked towards the brazier, picked up the ashes with a branch, and found the golden strings
