After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

Chapter 230 Fight against injustice

Ye Qingyu patiently explained, "For some people, the money they spend on a whole shop of rouge is not even as much as the cost of a typical meal. But, for some people, the money they spend on a box of rouge could support their entire family for a month or even several months."

Changning widened her eyes. She had never bought anything by herself before and had no idea of ​​the value of silver. But Ye Qingyu's words were very clear, and a deep sense of guilt appeared on her face.

"Qingyu, am I too wasteful?" Thinking of what Ye Qingyu said, that a box of ordinary rouge in the palace could buy more than a dozen boxes of rouge in this shop, and thinking of her daily life, she realized what kind of life she was living.

Ye Qingyu smiled gently and said, "Your Highness, you have done very well. I have noticed that Your Highness does not waste food or extravagance. I am telling you this on a whim. After you move out of the palace, you will come into contact with all kinds of people. What I am saying today is just a precaution. You will not be too surprised when you come into contact with all kinds of people in the future."

Princess Changning nodded thoughtfully.

The two were walking and talking when suddenly, a noisy and lively sound came from the front.

The two looked up and saw a lot of people gathered in front of them, and the chattering sounds came from there.

Changning asked curiously, "What happened there?"

Ye Qingyu looked at Mo Shu, and Mo Shu understood and quickly went to find out what had happened.

Changning stretched her head and looked over there curiously. Ye Qingyu was afraid that the crowd would hurt her, so she had no intention of taking her over.

Not long after, Mo Shu came back to report.

"Princess, Princess, there's a woman selling herself to bury her father. Two rich boys are molesting her, and the people are gathered around to watch."

"Selling oneself to bury one's father? How could such a thing happen in Kyoto? Let's go and take a look!" Princess Changning was both curious and filled with a sense of justice.

Ye Qingyu frowned, but luckily she couldn't stand Princess Changning's coquettish behavior. "Qingyu, just go and take a look. I am the princess of Daqing after all. How can I watch a pitiful woman being bullied by those bastards?"

Ye Qingyu looked at the guards around them, and the secret guards protecting them. Ye Qingyu reluctantly agreed, "Okay, but Princess, you can't leave my side. You have to hold my hand all the time."

"Okay, okay, let's go!"

With the guards protecting them, they quickly created a gap for the two to enter.

The woman surrounded in the middle was dressed in linen mourning clothes, her black hair tied up with a peach wood hairpin. There were traces of tears on her pretty fair face. Her pair of black almond eyes looked at the two men dressed in gorgeous clothes who stood in front of her with fear.

The leading man spoke frivolously, "Little beauty, if you only want to sell yourself to me, I will immediately buy you a fine coffin and bury you in since your father has passed away. I will also choose a good feng shui site for you to be reborn into a good family."

"My little beauty, this young master is kind and gentle to women. As long as you follow me, you will never have to suffer again. Oh, look at these rough little hands. If you follow me, you won't have to do any rough work. You will be the master, just waiting to be served."

The man had his back to Ye Qingyu and the others. She couldn't see his face clearly, but his voice sounded familiar.

The woman pulled her hand back in fear, tears welling in her eyes as she said, "My lord, you have misunderstood me. I do not want to sell myself as a concubine. I only want to sell myself as a slave for three years to pay for my father's burial."

The man who looked like an attendant beside the young master said viciously, "Little beauty, I advise you to be obedient. It is your blessing to be favored by Brother He. Being a slave is not as comfortable as being Brother He's woman."

The woman trembled as she looked at the two men, shaking her head and crying, "Please, gentlemen, spare me. I am from a respectable family, and my family has suffered a great change. I had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. I kowtow to you both."

The people around saw the woman being forced to cry and they not only denounced the two men, but also said, "Sir, please stop forcing a little girl. It's already very difficult for me."

"Yes, seeing how pitiful he is, you should be kind-hearted."

"That's right, she's already pitiful enough, yet you're still forcing her like this. If you really like her, just help her. Taking advantage of her is not what a real man does!"

The henchman turned around and glared at the people with a fierce look on his face, "What do you know? Brother He is just helping her. She doesn't know what's good for her, so why are you following her and making trouble?"

The young man in brocade clothes was still fanning himself in a self-proclaimed romantic manner, with an air of superiority, "My little beauty, this opportunity is rare. I am not someone who will be favored by everyone. If I didn't feel sorry for you, I wouldn't have interfered."

The people glared with disdain at the bully who turned black into white.

Changning was so angry at this man's shamelessness that he wanted to go out and argue with him, but was stopped by Ye Qingyu. At this moment, a voice full of anger rang out.

"Hmph, you talk about taking advantage of someone's misfortune in such a refreshing and refined way. This is the first time I've seen such a shameless person!"

The man who came had handsome features, an angry face, and a heart full of chivalry.

Princess Changning was stunned. Isn't this Cheng Huaifeng?

After hearing Cheng Huaifeng's words, the young man turned around, and Ye Qingyu finally understood why she felt his voice sounded familiar.

It turns out to be an acquaintance. I didn’t expect to see He Rui again.

He Rui frowned, turned around and saw Cheng Huaifeng, startled, he quickly saluted, "Meet Prince Cheng."

Cheng Huaifeng looked like he was standing up for someone who was wronged. "Humph, in broad daylight, under the feet of the emperor, you actually dare to bully such a pitiful woman! Who gave you the guts?"

He spoke angrily, glancing vaguely towards Princess Changning. Ye Qingyu caught his gaze sharply and couldn't help but snorted coldly.

It turns out he was just acting.

He Rui didn't expect that he was lucky enough to meet a little beauty today, but he was unlucky enough to meet the prince of the Duke of Yingguo.

He looked at Cheng Huaifeng's indignant expression and couldn't help but wonder, isn't this Cheng Shizi usually a person who doesn't care about things that don't concern him? Why is he meddling in other people's affairs today?

Could it be that he also has a crush on this little beauty?

He Ruifu was very smart. He smiled ingratiatingly at Cheng Huaifeng, "Prince Cheng, if you like this little beauty, I will give her to you. Don't be angry."

Cheng Huaifeng was so angry when he heard him say that, his face turned black. "What nonsense are you talking about? This prince just can't stand you forcing a woman to death, so I stood up for her. How dare you slander me!"

He glanced at Changning's face in panic, and looking at He Rui's flattering face in front of him, he wanted to slap him!

It was this bastard who ruined his plan.
