At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

Just as Yu Yunxin and Qiu Shuang were about to get into the carriage, they were stopped by Ruan Ming.

"Princess! The master wants to send you back home."

Yu Yunxin looked at the crowd coming out of Ye's house and said to Ruan Ming, "Thank you, His Royal Highness, for your kindness. It's inconvenient today. Please tell the prince that I will visit him at his house tomorrow."

Early in the morning, Yu Yunxin made several kinds of breakfast in the kitchen, including egg-filled pancakes, steamed buns, and milk steamed cakes.

"Princess, why did you prepare so much breakfast?" The eldest princess smelled the fragrance as soon as she entered the door and walked into the kitchen.

"I didn't expect our Princess Xingguo to be so amazing. She is not only a lady who can handle both housework and cooking!"

"Princess, come and try it. This is my first time too." Yu Yunxin looked at the princess and put a curly hair in her hand.

The princess took a bite and said, "Not bad, soft and has a green onion flavor."

"By the way, Princess, what do you want to talk to me about?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"Of course it's something important. A batch of skinny horses came from Yangzhou these days, and the owners of the brothels in the capital all want to buy these skinny horses at a high price."

The princess said, "In the past, our mansion was able to accept a batch of people, but now, except for the Jiaofangsi, all other departments are undergoing rectification."

"Princess, please pick out the capable ones and keep them! Appearance is not important! By that time, my theater, karaoke bar, and bar will need many people who can play various instruments and sing." Yu Yunxin said.

"I understand now." The princess replied, "You can..."

"Of course you can. I was planning to sell it near gambling houses and dance halls in the future, so that older women can have a way to survive." Yu Yunxin replied.

"The princess is kind-hearted and considerate of the future lives of those people of low status." The princess asked, "Is the princess free today?"

"I have to deliver something to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today. Princess, how about our date?" Although Yu Yunxin is not a love-minded person, she still has to abide by the time.

"Okay, let's talk another day." The eldest princess said as she took what Yu Yunxin had prepared for her and left.

"Yunshan! Tell Haiwang to go to the Prince's Mansion with us." Yu Yunxin said as she put the most exquisite food into the food basket.

Yu Yunxin was wearing a peach pink gown, which made her look particularly pretty. She carried a food basket in her hands and walked briskly to the outside of the Prince's Mansion. As soon as the carriage stopped, Ruan Ming came out to greet her.

"Princess, please come in!"

After Yu Yunxin got off the carriage, Ruan Ming took her directly to the backyard, where there was a small pond with various kinds of koi in it.

The prince, dressed in black, was sitting on a rock by the lake, feeding the brocade fish in the lake.

Yu Yunxin also liked the koi of different colors. She walked up to the prince, took the fish food from him, and started feeding the fish.

The prince looked up at her feeding the fish and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that the princess also likes to look at these koi."

"No more words, I brought you something special to try today!" As he said that, he handed the food basket to the prince.

The prince took the food basket with a look of surprise, and brought Yu Yunxin to the pavilion beside the pool. He took out all the breakfast in the basket, looked at the strangely shaped steamed milk cakes, and asked, "What is this?"

"These are milk steamed cake, scallion rolls, and egg-filled pancakes." Yu Yunxin introduced these three breakfast dishes with great excitement.

"Interesting. I've never seen such a special breakfast in the imperial kitchen." The prince said as he picked up a steamed milk cake and started eating.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Yu Yunxin asked as she watched the prince take a bite.

"Not bad, not sweet but very fragrant. I'll try this egg-filled pancake." He picked up a pancake and started eating.

Just as he was about to say something, he saw a guard rushing over to report, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is urgently summoned by the palace."

Upon hearing this, the prince immediately put down the egg-filled pancake he had taken two bites of and said, "Xin'er, your cooking is delicious. I'll take it with me on the road."

After that, he asked Ruan Ming to take the food basket away. "Princess, the prince likes the breakfast you make very much. No matter what you send him these days, he will eat it all."

Yu Yunxin nodded when she heard it. After the prince left the mansion, she also left and came to the outside of Anyuanhou’s mansion.

When the doorman saw that it was Princess Xingguo, he immediately brought Yu Yunxin into the mansion. The eldest princess was now in the front hall watching the dancers rehearse.

The dancers' Hu Xuan dance was 70% similar to hers. The eldest princess walked towards Yu Yunxin with a thin stick in her hand.

"Didn't you go to the Prince's Mansion? Why are you back so soon?"

"The palace has urgently summoned the prince to go to the palace." Yu Yunxin said.

The princess smiled and said, "It is indeed so!"

"The princess seems to know about this?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"The eldest sons of Marquis Anding and Marquis Changning were wearing women's clothes among the group of skinny horses sent to us from Yangzhou. They were discovered by several of our marquises and sent back to their two mansions. Marquis Anding and Marquis Changning were taken to the palace to be investigated by the emperor and the crown prince." said the eldest princess.

"So that's what happened. Didn't the two princes go to the Nanchuan army? How come they appear in Yangzhou?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"I don't know about that, but soon the whole capital will know the joke of the two princes. Let's not worry about these things. Come on, I'll take you to a place." After the eldest princess said this, she took Yu Yunxin on the carriage. The carriage went all the way to the outside of the palace wall without stopping.

"Princess, will you take me into the palace?" Yu Yunxin asked.

The princess shook her head and said, "It will be here soon."

Thirty miles away from Queen Mountain, two carriages stopped outside a mass grave.

The eldest princess led the way and said, "It's not easy to walk here, be careful not to fall. Princess, are you afraid?"

"Life and death are determined by fate. It's just a mass grave. There's nothing to be afraid of." Yu Yunxin replied.

The princess smiled and said, "It's still a long way to go. Why don't you ask me why I brought you here?"

"I'm indeed curious why you brought me here." Yu Yunxin asked.

The princess glanced at the four people behind Yu Yunxin and said, "Four guardians of Yanyu Manor, don't you recognize me?"

Yunshan Yanluo, Qionglou and Haiwang looked at the eldest princess seriously. Qionglou spoke first, "You are Uncle Xuanniao."

Upon hearing this, the princess immediately took out a token and handed it to Yu Yunxin.

"It's the Xuanniao Order of Yanyu Manor!" Yunshan and the other three knelt down and said, "Greetings to the Master of the Xuanniao Hall of Yanyu Manor."

"You are also from Yanyu Manor." Yu Yunxin looked at the eldest princess curiously and asked.

"What are you curious about? Let's go! We still have a long way to go!" said the princess and continued on her way.

After passing through a forest, we came to a row of thatched huts, there were dozens of them in total.

This is a thatched village. I never expected that there would be such a dilapidated village in the capital.

As soon as I entered the village, I was shocked by the scene in front of me, and even the Yunshan Tower behind me was shocking.

"Where is this place?" Yu Yunxin looked at the skinny women wearing patched thin clothes. Some were missing arms, had lame legs, and some had a destroyed face or half of their face. It was chilling to look at.

"Hell on earth." The eldest princess said with a bitter face.

"Princess, when I saw you said you wanted to renovate the brothel, I knew you could rescue them. It is also a test for me to be the owner of the manor recognized by Xuanniao Hall." The eldest princess turned around and looked at Yu Yunxin and smiled.

"They used to be maids in the palace. Some of them offended the nobles in the palace, and some offended the ladies of the marquisate. They were beaten and crippled, and then sold to brothels. After they became seriously ill, they were thrown to the mass grave by the owners of the brothels to die." said the eldest princess.

"The eldest princess is here!" When the women saw the eldest princess, they all walked towards her happily.

"Everyone, the one next to me is Princess Xingguo. I am here with her to see you today."

As the princess spoke, she looked back at the way she came. There were several maids who were each wrapped in several clothes and walked without even taking a breath. It was obvious that they were martial artists.

They handed the package to the people in Caowu Village. One of the older people opened the package and found that it was filled with worn-out cotton clothes and quilts.

"These are old clothes for you to wear during the winter," said the eldest princess.

"Princess, your mansion is wealthy, why don't you give them new clothes?" Yu Yunxin asked, looking at several bundles of old clothes.

"Princess, a winter coat is enough for us to keep warm. We don't need any new clothes. We are all servants who have made mistakes. We are satisfied to be able to settle down here. We don't ask for anything but the eldest princess's safety." said a disfigured woman.

"Yes! It was the eldest princess who saved my life in the mass grave and secretly sent us medicine and food. Otherwise, we would not be alive today." said a lame woman.

"They were all killed by their mistresses or framed by others. They are not a living dead. Their masters all thought they were dead. How should you, the owner of the manor, save these women? Should you let them die of old age here or let them see the light again?" asked the eldest princess.

"Tell me how you got here. I want to hear your real story. If you are deceiving or lying, I will have no choice but to let you stay here." Yu Yunxin looked at everyone and said.

Suddenly, the crowd was broken by a faint baby voice, coming from the third room.

"It's the child. He finally woke up." A woman said happily.

I walked into the third room and saw a woman covered in wounds holding a baby and feeding her rice soup.

"How can such a young child eat this?" Yu Yunxin said immediately after seeing it.

"But Madam Wang has no milk! The child can just drink this." said an old woman nearby.

Yu Yunxin immediately turned around and said to Hai Wang, "Hai Wang, go to the Lin family's farm and get a ewe. Give the child goat milk."

Haiwang left immediately after hearing this.

"Why is there a child here?" Yu Yunxin asked curiously again.

Madam Wang, who was holding the child, immediately said, "I was a maid in the mansion of Censor Liu. The second young master of the mansion raped me. I was very scared afterwards. I didn't want to be beaten to death, so I didn't say anything about it. But I didn't expect that the second young master's wife who had just moved in found out. She beat me with thirty sticks and sent me to Yanhua Lane. It was Madam Yang in Yanhua Lane who found out that I was pregnant. She didn't let me keep the child. When she was preparing medicine for me, I secretly ran away and fell into the river. I don't know how I ended up here."

"It was me who saved you and sent you here." The princess glanced at the baby in the princess's arms and said, "This child is a premature baby. It will be difficult to feed him without your milk."

The princess looked at the lady again and said, "I don't ask for anything in return for saving someone, but you two are dead and what you just said is the truth."

"I swear to God that what I just said was true. If I lied to you, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death." Madam Wang swore.

"Swear on your child!" said the eldest princess.

"Okay! I swear to my child who was born less than three days ago that if there is even a single word I said that is false, my child and I will die a miserable death and be struck by lightning."

People in ancient times were the most superstitious, so swearing like this meant that she had never told a lie.

The princess looked at Yu Yunxin and said, "The second young lady of Liu Yushi's family is the daughter of the Dali Temple Shaoqing. She is arrogant and domineering at home and has beaten and killed many maids. In the eyes of these high-ranking officials and their children, the life of a maid indentured to death is not even as good as that of an animal. Princess, how do you want to help them?"

Yu Yun looked at Madam Wang and asked, "Do you want to go back to the Imperial Censorate?"

"No, I don't want to go back. I just want to live a good life with my child." Madam Wang immediately shook her head when she heard this.

"In this case, you should take good care of yourself here. I will give you a new identity in the future so that you and your children can live a good life in the future." Yu Yunxin said.

"Princess, are you satisfied with this arrangement?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"Everyone here has a more tragic life story than your wife. What do you plan to do?" the eldest princess asked.

Yu Yunxin looked at everyone and said, "I know you are all pitiful people. I also know you don't want to live here in a mass grave. I am the owner of Yanyu Manor. If you live well like Madam Wang, I will arrange your future work. If you want to live well, you can rely on yourselves. I won't support idle people. Those of you who don't want revenge and don't have any complaints about the people and things in the past, stand on Madam Wang's side."

Most of the women in this group stood beside Madam Wang.

She looked at another group of women, about thirty of them, with relatively good looks, two of them had disfigured faces, but one could tell they were once beautiful and charming women.

She looked at the eldest princess and then at everyone else and said, "You can seek revenge, but have you ever thought about how to seek revenge? What do you have now?"

Everyone thought for a while without saying anything, and then a clear female voice came over and said, "I can practice martial arts and kill those who bullied me."

"Stand up!" Yu Yunxin said, looking in the direction where the voice came from.

A slender woman stood up. She was wearing patches but she was as proud as a winter plum blossom.

Yu Yunxin looked at her and then slapped the woman with a strong palm. The woman fell backward and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"You want to practice martial arts for revenge? Do you know that as long as you appear in front of them, your enemies will hire a killer to kill you. It's ridiculous for you to practice martial arts to kill them. I just used only 20% of my strength. The killers in the martial arts world will not spare your life like I did."

Yu Yunxin said, looking at everyone and asked, "Who else wants to practice martial arts for revenge?"

When everyone saw the woman lying on the ground, they helped her up.

"Then I can make money and sell murders." Another woman also stood up and said.

"How do you make money?" Yu Yunxin's words made her fall into deep thought.

"My family has been in the restaurant business for generations. My parents have taught me a lot about accounting. I can start from a small restaurant and work my way up slowly."

When Yu Yunxin heard this, she looked at her and asked, "Who did you offend and why are you here?"
