The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 466: Yan'er takes the blame

"But what I didn't know was that the reason they changed my name was because they had already decided to sell me. Because my mother saw that other children had longevity locks, she felt that she couldn't treat her younger brother unfairly. But there was no extra money in the family, so they decided to sell me, their annoying daughter, in order to get a longevity lock for their most beloved Abao." "They changed my name to Yan'er, and boasted to the human traffickers that I was born well and would be as beautiful as a flower when I grew up. I still remember that they bent over, smiled, and kept bargaining with the human traffickers, all for the sake of getting more money so that their son's longevity lock could be bigger." Yan'er's eyes were red, and the expression on her face made it hard to tell whether she was crying or laughing. Jiang Suining asked softly, "What happened next?" "Later, I was sold to a family far away from the imperial city as a child bride under the name Yan'er, but the son of that family didn't like me. Come to think of it, I was pale and skinny at that time, with not much flesh on my body, which was not pleasing to the eye. And I was as beautiful as a flower, which was really ridiculous." "But fortunately, I worked hard, so they kept me after all. I stayed there for four years, and I was still skinny. My mother-in-law was unhappy and scolded me for looking unlucky and not worthy of her son at all. She made me do more work and ate their leftovers every day, which was very little. The poor leftovers were often not enough to fill my stomach. Gradually, I became thinner and thinner, and even got sick." "Just after I got sick, that family suddenly treated me well, hired a doctor, and gave me several doses of medicine. My mother-in-law even stewed chicken soup for me for the first time. I could eat enough food, and my body gradually got better. Just when I thought life was getting better again, they sold me. It turned out that the reason they hired a doctor to stew chicken soup for me was just to make me better, and then sell me as soon as possible to make up for the money they spent on buying me." "Were you sold to the He family?" Jiang Suining asked again. Yan'er shook her head. "Not at the beginning. They sold me back to the human traffickers. After several twists and turns, I returned to the imperial city and was sold to the He family." "After arriving at the He family, I was still not very likable and taciturn, but fortunately I was nimble. I secretly inquired about the news and heard that my parents were seriously ill and were dying. After they died, I went to see Abao. I knew he was not wrong, but I just didn't like him. I sent him to the Mercy Church. Whenever I thought of my past experiences, I would go to see him, not close to him, just staring at him from a distance. Every time after seeing him, I returned to the He family and worked harder. I didn't want to be sold again. I wanted to stay in the He family forever. "I thought the days would just pass by one by one, until the madam married into the family. I don't know where my luck came from, but I was chosen to serve the madam, and my monthly salary also increased. But at that time, instead of feeling happy, I was extremely scared. After all, every time I thought things were getting better, worse things would follow." "So I was trembling with fear, afraid of doing something wrong, but the more I feared, the more mistakes I made. I accidentally broke the ornaments that the madam brought as a dowry. That time, I thought I was finished and might be beaten to death, but I didn't expect that the madam, instead of blaming me, comforted me and told me not to be afraid." Yan'er smiled, and this time it was a sincere smile, without any bitterness. "Later, I gradually grew bolder in front of Madam. Once when I was grinding for Madam, I told her that I didn't like the name Yan'er, so she changed my name to Yan'er, which means inkstone. Madam said that the stone had undergone countless grinding and carving before it became the inkstone placed on the desk. And I had suffered a lot before, just like the inkstone being polished before it was formed. She hoped that I would finally reap the rewards of my hard work, and that I would be as strong as the inkstone and have a firm and strong heart." "From that day on, I was called Yan'er, and I liked this name very much. Madam also taught me to read and write, and celebrated my first birthday in my life with Xiaohe..." Yan'er looked at Jiang Suining seriously, and spoke word by word with great determination. "Miss Jiang, our Madam is really very nice. To me, she is the best person in the world." "So, you hate He Yuanwei very much?" "Of course I hate him!" Yan'er's face suddenly sank. "He was so nice to Madam before, but he changed his face when something happened to the Yang family. He also said that I was getting more and more beautiful, and wanted me to be his concubine. But he didn't know that the reason why I became more beautiful was that Madam raised me little by little. Madam is the most beautiful woman in the world, but he doesn't know how to cherish her at all. He even beat Madam, he deserves to die!" Yan'er gritted her teeth, and her eyes were full of hatred. Madam is the only person in the world who treats her well, like the only light in her dark life. She will never allow anyone to hurt Madam. Jiang Suining looked at Yan'er with mixed emotions. She didn't know whether to comfort and sympathize with her past, or to tell her righteously that even so, she shouldn't kill people casually. But she seemed unable to say either of these two, and finally she just asked. "Your plan was successful. Although no one beats your wife anymore, she is also charged with murder. Is it worth it?" Yan'er looked at Jiang Suining and suddenly smiled again. "Miss Jiang, who said that our madam killed someone? I hated He Yuanwei so much, and when I saw Yang Manman being locked up, I suddenly thought of this plan, so I led He Yuanwei there. From beginning to end, our madam knew nothing at all!" "Do you really think that with your one-sided statement, you can completely clear the suspicion on your madam and take the blame for her?" "I didn't take the blame, I was telling the truth. After he was knocked unconscious by Yang Manman, I took the firewood and smashed it hard. Madam has been living a life of luxury since she was a child, and she doesn't have that much strength. Unlike me, who has been working since I was a child and has more strength than many people, I used all my strength that time, but I was not afraid at all. I just felt happy in my heart. Because the first time I saw him beat Madam, I already wanted to do that." Jiang Suining sighed lightly, "If this matter is really done by you alone, then you can just tell Lord Pei and confess to him. Why do you have to see me and tell me all this?" The expression on Yan'er's face was stiff for a moment, but then it turned into begging. "Miss Jiang, our wife is a really good person. As long as I plead guilty, Yang Manman will be cleared of the charge, and your goal will be achieved. I beg you to forgive me for suing you in court. Let's stop here." "Whether to continue the investigation is not up to me. Even if you plead guilty, Lord Pei may not believe you. This matter..." "I only ask you to agree." Yan'er interrupted Jiang Suining and knelt down in front of her. "Forget everything I said to you before, and don't interfere in this matter anymore!" Yan'er knocked her head to the ground with a thud, and Jiang Suining's heart seemed to tremble slightly. "Miss Jiang, I beg you!"
