The prince disliked her, and the legitimate daughter was reborn and married to the regent

Yun Nian thought that there was only one mute girl, but after staying in this building for two days, he found out that the waiters on the top floor, both men and women, were missing half of their tongues.

"Song Yanga did it?"

It seems that it is probably the case. In order to keep the secret, he can really do anything.

Yun Nian frowned and said nothing more, but just made a note of him in his heart. This guy was extremely vicious.

There were several waiters coming and going. They all had no names. However, in the Astrology Building, no one would call others by their names, let alone Song Yanga.

Although there was no name, Yun Nian still said to the woman who fed her the medicine,

"Can I call you Yin Yin? You have beautiful eyes."

The woman nodded, and when she saw that Yun Nian had no other instructions, she quietly retreated, leaving her alone staring at the veil at the head of the bed, as if thinking about something.

Song Yanga took blood three times each time, with two hours between each time. Except for this time, he was nowhere to be seen at other times. Yun Nian didn't know what he did with her blood.

But it doesn't matter, she will know eventually.

She stood up and walked to the shelf. Some of the books were missing. It was probably because the ones involving secrets were taken away by the Imperial Master. The remaining ones were mostly unimportant.

Yun Nian picked up a book at random and found that it seemed to be a medical book about medicinal materials. Although Yun Nian did not recognize the symbols on it, the pictures drawn on it were lifelike.

Some of the herbal pictures were outlined with a vermilion pen, giving them an inexplicable and strange feeling.

"I do not know……"

Yun Nian sighed deeply. She didn't know these herbs, nor did she know the language of Ke Luo. Wasn't this just a blind guess? If she had known earlier, she would have listened to her brother learn Ke Luo language.

She stared at the symbols with deep hatred. Unlike Da'an's square characters, Ke Luo's characters were like dancing circles. The symbols were similar but not exactly the same. Yun Nian was confused but couldn't guess a word.

She took a few other books, and this time they were even darker, with all the crooked symbols on them. Yin Yin was caught by her when she was cleaning.

"Can you understand the words on it?"

But as soon as she handed the symbol to her, the woman knelt down and banged her head on the ground, making a "dong dong" sound.

"what happened?"

Yinyin's face was filled with fear. She kowtowed and shook her head. Yunnian tried very hard but failed to stop her. Instead, Song Yanga, who came to take blood, told her to leave unhappily.

The needle was pushed into Yun Nian's hand, and he only felt a slight stinging pain, and blood flowed out.

"Don't waste your time. In Keluo, slaves, palace maids, and even commoners, especially women, are not qualified to learn writing. If they are discovered, they will be regarded as provoking the majesty of the king and executed."

His tone was light, but it made Yun Nian's eyes widen. For the people of Da'an, even farmers would let their children learn a few words from the private school teachers.

It is indeed a bit too much to regard writing as a privilege of the nobility.

As if he saw what she was thinking, Song Yanga sneered, stopped his movements, and shook the blood in the bowl gently.

"Why do you think they are willing to sacrifice their lives for such debauchery, cruelty and bloodlust? Aren't the useless people without their own thoughts just listening to what others say?"

"People who can only talk but not read will never have their own consciousness. They don't know how to resist, and they don't know that they have power. Only such people can become the sword of Emperor Ke Luo. What is the difference between them and the mummies I made? They are just walking corpses when they are alive."

There was a hint of disdain and amusement in his tone. It was difficult for Yun Nian to tell from his words whether he agreed or disagreed with such a thing.

But she finally understood why Fuqiu always held an indifferent attitude towards her country. Ke Luo's outward ferocity was just to cover up the inner corruption. The nobles were happy, and the poor were ignorant. Anyone with a clear mind would probably be disappointed in Ke Luo.

"I suggest you not to get too involved with the waitresses here. Their mental state is not as normal as you think."

Song Yanga said this with a hint of meaning, and when Yun Nian wanted to continue asking, he turned around and walked away mercilessly.

What does it mean to be mentally ill? Although Yinyin and the others cannot speak, their behavior is normal.

However, since they don't know how to read, it seems that they can only rely on themselves.

Wait, if women in Korra can’t learn to read, then what about Fuqiu?

There is no way Fuqiu doesn't know how to read, and there is only one person who can teach her without being discovered.

Yun Nian quickly flipped through the books on the shelf. After about a quarter of an hour, he finally found a thick booklet from a small box hidden at the back.

The booklet has turned yellow, but it can be seen that it has been well preserved. There is a huge bell on the cover, and next to the bell, there are a few black dots, like ink stains or stars.

"I'm sorry, you didn't tell me not to watch it."

Yun Nian closed his eyes silently and said something, then raised his eyes and turned to the first page.

This looks like a picture book for young children to learn to read. A large symbol occupies the left side of the page, and then the picture is outlined on the right side with a brush.

"Father...Mother..."

Yun Nian guessed word by word, but maybe it wasn't "father and mother" but "boy and girl"?

She had never been so eager to learn a new language as she was now.

"If I had studied so hard when I was a kid, maybe I could have become as smart as Ningsi."

She sighed and thought of her friends far away in Luochuan, wondering what they were doing now.

……

"Are you crazy? I will never agree to this. If you dare to force me, then you will just pretend that I am not your daughter."

Shen Ningsi's face was rarely filled with anger. She threw down a sentence and hurriedly slammed the door and left, leaving her father in the study room, stroking his beard and sighing.

Huo Daiyu was practicing archery in her yard. Seeing her expression, he was a little puzzled.

"What's wrong? Why are you so angry? Your father is talking to you about marriage again. Why is he so anxious?"

"He wants me to marry Yun Shuo, he's crazy!"

Judging from the fact that they were well matched, Shen Ningsi and Yun Shuo were indeed a perfect match. Unfortunately, there was no love between the two of them at all.

"I would never marry someone I didn't like, and most importantly, I don't really like smart people."

Especially the fox-like guy.
