"That's what the so-called parents use to throw away unwanted children. Almost all of them are baby girls. The newly born babies have their skin eaten away by snakes, insects, rats and ants, and they cry hoarsely until they Death, this is their first level of death.”
The expression on King Qin’s face was unpredictable, making it difficult to tell what he was thinking, but Lin Chunhuan had no intention of stopping because of this. Although the girl survived, there may be a part of her that was truly loved.”
“But there was also a part of her that was forced to learn to do housework, do farm work, and help before she could even express herself. The family supports an 'elder brother' or 'younger brother' who is favored just because of the extra two ounces of meat."
"When they reach the age of marriage, they are used in exchange for the bride price of the elder brother's wife. , were married to men who were old enough to be fathers and grandfathers, given to high-ranking officials as concubines, and even sold to brothels for two taels of silver..."
With an indifferent expression, he said that he wanted to be the concubine. Lin Chunhuan suddenly laughed when her back felt cold, "Those people drained the last drop of blood from their daughters, and in the end they gave these girls a name, money-losing goods."
"So, what do you want to say?"
King Qin's face turned red.
It’s not that he doesn’t understand the plight of women in this world. In fact, it’s not just ordinary people, but also the private struggles in the back houses of noble girls from these aristocratic families.
There are many people who regard marriage as a bargaining chip.
But he is a man. To put it bluntly, these things have nothing to do with him. As a vested interest, he does not want to refute anything, but he also does not want to change the status quo.
In other words, from beginning to end, King Qin did not think that he was a good person.
Lin Chunhuan could guess at least 70% of what King Qin was thinking, and the smile on his face also had a hint of coldness, "Among all the women, my eldest sister is considered to have a good fortune. , was born noble, and her parents loved her sincerely."
"But even she can't escape the so-called fate of marrying a man she doesn't want to marry at all."
"Eldest sister has helped me with some help. She said she wants to marry you." Lin Chunhuan paused for a moment, and before speaking again, she took a long breath and said, "I don't have as good a life as her, but I have also been I have imagined that it would be great if I were the eldest daughter of the Hou family. There are probably many people in Kyoto who have imagined like me."
"It is a fantasy and an expectation. My eldest sister carries it. With the hopes of so many people, what she wants to accomplish as a woman should be accomplished. She doesn’t want to marry Dong Gong but wants to marry you, and I want her to get her wish.”
"Even though she is not a good person."
Seeing the concubine and the old doctor from Ji'antang walking out, Lin Chunhuan stood up straight, "There must be a woman in this world who behaves wantonly. It is necessary to get what you want, even if it is only Lin Yimiao."
Help Lin Yimiao, of course, not only for this reason.
After being indifferent and wasted in the East Palace for more than 20 years, Lin Yimiao slowly grew up and matured. She saw the injustice of this world to women and felt the helplessness of being born a girl.
As long as the prince is unwilling and the marquis does not let go, she will not be able to end that suffocating marriage.
As for the prince, even though he was very phobic of women, for the sake of his own reputation and to prevent the world from seeing through his embarrassment, in addition to the prince concubine, he was still sending his concubines and concubines to the East Palace.
Those women may have impure intentions when entering the East Palace, but every one of them is just like Lin Yimiao. After entering the East Palace, they throw them into a remote courtyard.
I can’t live a normal life as a husband and raise my children, and I will never be able to realize my ambitions. My hands and feet are like being chained, and I can’t see the sky outside no matter what.
And all this is just because a man wants to protect his face and self-esteem.
It is not the prince's fault that he is afraid of women, but how innocent are the women he marries or brings into the East Palace? Lin Yimiao used her status as the Crown Princess to find various excuses to send those people out of the house one by one. She wanted to return those people's freedom, as well as her own freedom. She had the ability to do so because she was the Crown Princess. .
But despite letting so many people go, she couldn't let herself go, because...she was the crown princess.
The King of Qin obviously could not understand what Lin Chunhuan said, "What's the difference?"
"Even if Lin Yimiao becomes Princess Qin, I will not love her..."
"Because she is willing!" Lin Chunhuan looked at the King of Qin in front of him with burning eyes, "Your love is nothing. As long as she is willing, as long as she chooses the road."
King Qin still wanted to refute, but the concubine was already very close now, so he could no longer say those words, so he took a deep breath, glanced at Lin Chunhuan and stepped forward, "Mother, how is Miss Lin? "
"Much better."
The concubine patted her chest with lingering fear, "Fortunately, my son acted quickly. The doctor said that Miss Lin fell into the water not long ago and the root cause of the disease was found. , If I soak for a little longer this time, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to save my life.”
“The sky has eyes!”
The concubine clasped her hands and bowed outside, and Lin Chunhuan recovered again. As cautious as he should be, he walked forward silently and gestured with his hands, "I'll go in and see my sister." ‘
Although the concubine did not understand sign language, she probably understood what she meant. She nodded quickly and said: "You are sisters. When the eldest girl wakes up and sees you next to her, she will feel more at ease."
"Go ahead. Huanhuan, when someone comes from the Hou Mansion, I'll have someone call you."
Lin Chunhuan nodded and didn't even bother to look at King Qin when he walked into the room.
Although this room is just a guest room in the palace and not very luxurious, it has all the necessary things. The dry clothes for Lin Yimiao are made of the best materials. A little unfair treatment.
A little face was huddled in the quilt with a pale face, which made people feel distressed just by looking at it.
Hearing the voices of King Qin and the concubine getting farther and farther away, Lin Chunhuan sat on the edge of the bed and pushed her, "You are gone, get up."
The next moment, Lin Yimiao's long eyelashes slightly He moved, and actually opened his eyes, his expression so clear that he didn't look like he was unconscious at all.
“How did you know I was faking it.”
Although he knew that no one was watching, Lin Yimiao still deliberately lowered his voice.
"That doctor is from King Qin. The concubine looked worried just now. She must have understood that it was the doctor who made your situation very serious. But I have been in contact with that old doctor before, and he was so worried just now. It’s all on your face, your eyes are very calm, and you can tell that nothing’s wrong with you.”
Although Lin Yimiao felt uncomfortable all over, she couldn't help but curl her lips when she heard these words, "You are quite smart."
"But how do you pretend to have such a high fever? It looks just like the real thing."
Before he could swallow his words of praise, Lin Yimiao rolled his eyes angrily, "The fever is real!"
