She really didn't care about this marriage. Maybe everyone thought that Ledahou Mansion was good and that the prince was both civil and military, with a promising future, but she didn't like it. Ledahou Mansion's prince Rong Wei married the eldest sister Zhen Zhen, which was a low marriage. Less than half a year after the marriage, after Zhen Zhen became pregnant, he had three concubines, both noble and good. Zhen Zhen thought she had become a woman of honor, but she couldn't even speak in Ledahou Mansion. She looked glamorous on the surface, but she cried countless times behind her back.

As the eldest daughter, Rong Wei had concubines one after another, and the Zhen family didn't dare to say a word. Her stepmother wanted to step on her, first by marrying her to her nephew, who was from a poor family, and then by giving her a dowry and making her a concubine to Zhen Zhen.

In this life, they can no longer plot against or persecute her.

Chunyan put up the girl's new painting. The girl's paintings became more and more beautiful. Although she didn't understand, she felt that she had made great progress. When she went up to the embroidery tower, she saw her girl holding the brocade box with the jade lock on it in a daze again.

"Girl, why don't you open it and take a look at what treasure Old Master Su left for you?"

Zhen Su came back to his senses and asked, "When the nanny went to the Su Mansion, did she bring the letter I gave to my cousin?"

Chunyan said repeatedly: "My mother is the most efficient in handling affairs."

Isn't it just about making an appointment with the Su cousin to watch the dragon boat race together tomorrow? The second daughter is obviously rich, but she chose a teahouse so far away. It's okay to watch willows and roses, but it's too far from the Grand Canal where the dragon boat race is held.

"The letter has been delivered, but the second cousin will not come."

The second cousin's personality was too aloof and cold, and she was never warm to her own daughter. In fact, it was Miss Su San who was on good terms with her daughter.

"Don't regret if you don't come."

Chunyan felt strange, it was so mysterious and the girl said the same thing several times.

"Girl, what's going on?"

"I will take your indenture with me tomorrow. No matter which cousin girl comes, you can take her maid to the government office with my slave release document, and you will become a good citizen. When you marry Lu Tiezhu in the future, you will be a good citizen."

Who would want to be a slave when they can be good citizens?

The engagement was given to her cousin, but she was afraid that her life in the Zhen family would become increasingly difficult, so she had to find a way out for herself. She had saved the people she wanted to save in the past two years and had done the good deeds she should do. She wanted to go to Hunan Province to join her maternal grandfather and uncle.

Chunyan said, "Miss, why don't you discuss this with my mother?"

"This is a good thing. Nanny will be happy for you if she knows about it." Zhen Su warned, "Don't make this public. Don't tell anyone."

"Miss, I have always kept my mouth shut and would never say anything that I shouldn't. Tiezhu has been a little talkative recently, I'll give him a warning later." The girl was thinking only of her, so Lu Tiezhu told Aunt Meng that the girl had given the Lu family twenty taels of silver. Their ears suffered for several days.

The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival. Every family hangs wormwood on the door, ties a longevity thread, covers the door with peach seals, nails red mouths, hangs calamus, dries books, drinks realgar wine, eats rice dumplings, and celebrates happily.

On the Jing River, the emperor and the people are having fun together. The empress and the emperor sit on the high seat in the Junling Tower, and they bring their female relatives from various families to watch the upcoming dragon boat race, and there are various performances on the boats.

The young general stared at the river. A servant came up to him and said, "General, we have found out."

The general made a gesture, approached a young man in a purple dragon robe, clasped his fists and bowed, "Your Highness, I have some personal matters to take care of."

"Go quickly and come back soon!" The young prince responded with a smile, and the beautiful concubine stuffed a loquat into his mouth.

When the general left Junlin Tower, the servants reported: "Yesterday, someone borrowed the general's name to send money to the old lady and the old master. I don't know how many times he has sent money in the past three years. Our people found out that it was Lu Tiezhu from Lujiazhuang. He refused to admit it at first, but later when he saw that we had no ill intentions, he told the truth, saying that he was following someone's orders and doing things for others."

The general said, "I heard from my third brother that Lu Tiezhu's parents died early, and the shabby house they lived in was about to fall down. He found a woman who worked as a housekeeper in a wealthy family as his godmother. His godmother had no son, so she wanted to treat him as her son and a son-in-law who would take care of him in his old age. She bought him five acres of good land and even repaired the house for him."

The servant echoed, "Lu Tiezhu said that the one who bought him the land and house was not his godmother, but the girl his godmother served."
