Hua Yan cried bitterly and said:

"Now that I'm in this situation, I might as well just die. Every time I think about it, I feel itchy with hatred. The consort doesn't like her, so she takes out her anger on us servants.

Forget about beating and scolding, why should you ruin someone's life?! There is no more vicious woman in the world than her!"

When Shen Liuzhen heard this, he sighed sadly and took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, saying:

"It's okay to say these words from your heart, but it won't be good if they reach her ears. The people don't fight with the officials, let alone she is the princess?"

Hua Yan took the handkerchief from Shen Liuzhen's hand and wiped the tears that had covered her face. After listening to Shen Liuzhen's words, she cried even louder. Her gentle voice suddenly became sharp. , said excitedly:

"What's wrong with her being the princess? I can't say what she's done?! I'm not afraid of her now. The worst is death. I only have one life now, so take it if you want it! ... I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of saying What is she?!"

Shen Liuzhen seemed a little excited after hearing this, and echoed:

"Yes, you are right. We ordinary people are not easy to mess with. It is necessary to exchange one life for another. It is true that she is the princess, but she does not have more lives than us. The worst is to fight her. Got it!"

When Hua Yan heard what Shen Liu Zhen said, her excitement became a little less intense. She wiped her tears and cried while raising her eyes to observe Shen Liu Zhen. There was suspicion in her eyes and she whispered:

"I'm just... just saying it. I don't know how to kill people. Besides, how many people are there to protect the princess when she comes in and out? I can't even fight in front of her..."

When Shen Liuzhen heard this, he touched the back of his neck sheepishly, laughed twice stupidly, and said:

"Oh, hehehe... I just heard you say that you were really angry, so that's why you said that. I don't know how to kill people, so I just wanted to vent my anger..."

When Hua Yan heard this, the vigilance and suspicion in her eyes disappeared again, she wiped her tears and said with a choked voice:

"You...we met by chance, are you really willing to save me? Buy me back...do...do..."

When Shen Liuzhen heard this, he quickly waved his hand and said:

"Oh no, no, you misunderstood. I'm already married to a wife. My wife is fierce and won't tolerate concubines. And I have no intention of having a concubine myself.

I want to redeem you, simply because I want to save you from the sea of ​​suffering.

You are a member of the capital, and if there are any relatives or friends nearby that you can rely on, I will redeem you and you will be free and you can go anywhere."

When Hua Yan heard this, tears fell down heavily. She was so moved that she became confused and said:

"I have... I have a distant cousin. He has always wanted to redeem me, but unfortunately he has no money at all. My benefactor, if you can save me, I am willing to do anything to repay you!"

As Hua Yan said this, she got up from the bed and knelt on the ground to kowtow to Shen Liuzhen.

Shen Liuzhen quickly helped her up and said:

"...No, no, no, although my family is in ruins, I still have money to redeem myself. I have asked the madam before I came here. She also knows that you are looking for life and death all day long. If you stay here, you will lose both your life and wealth. And I still have to commit evil, so I don’t ask for much, I can still afford it.”

Hua Yan looked at Shen Liuzhen as if he were a living Bodhisattva. It was hard to believe that there were such good people in the world. So she cried and laughed and said:

"Benefactor... How can there be such a kind-hearted person like you in the world? I feel like it's like a dream... Do you often save people like this?"

Shen Liuzhen sighed and said:

"It's not that, it's just your experience that made me sad."

Hua Yan asked curiously: "You also have people you know well, like me?"

"Absolutely, I have a sister who was snatched away as a concubine by a bully who was an official in her hometown. She didn't want to, so she cried and made trouble in that man's house, went on a hunger strike, and the bully even beat her... … After half a year passed like this, everyone was gone.”

Shen Liuzhen breathed a sigh of relief in a painful voice, holding back tears in his eyes. He lowered his head and choked in silence for a while. He played a thorough role of a man who has painful memories but is full of regrets. .

When he raised his head again, he couldn't swallow those tears, so he forced a smile and said:

"It's okay, it's all in the past. It was here that I heard your story, and I always think of my sister. I have been unable to eat and feel at ease for a few days. That's why I made up my mind to come here today. Tell the old bustard that I want to redeem you.

I saved you, so I can make up for the regret that I couldn't save my sister back then."

When Hua Yan heard this, her tears became more intense. She reached out and grabbed Shen Liuzhen's arm sleeve and cried:

"It turns out that your sister is also a miserable person. We are all miserable people... No wonder you were so excited just now. I thought..."

Hua Yan stopped talking and swallowed back the words in her heart, "You have the intention to take advantage of me."

Of course Shen Liuzhen knew what she was going to say. Chatting with people was also a delicate job. He tried and tested it left and right, and changed his style in a timely manner according to the person's personality.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to chat with anyone.

At that moment, he knew that his words made Hua Yan wary, and he quickly turned around.

But Shen Liuzhen pretended that he didn't know anything, and asked very seriously and innocently:

"Why?"

Hua Yan smiled sheepishly and said, "Nothing, nothing..."

Shen Liuzhen no longer dwelled on this issue, but said: "But I have a question. The princess sold you, she won't let you redeem her, right?"

When Hua Yan saw that Shen Liuzhen was trying to back down, she quickly waved her hand and said:

"No, no... How could the Princess look at me every day for someone as big as the Princess? She has forgotten me a long time ago. Don't worry, I have a sister in the Princess' Mansion who came to look for me two days ago. , if you don’t believe me, ask the madam.

I never did anything to offend her, and if she remembers me, my sister won’t dare to come see me!”

The more Hua Yan talked, the more anxious she became, fearing that Shen Liuzhen would change his mind.

Shen Liuzhen quickly comforted her and said:

"...It's okay, don't worry, I'm just asking casually. I'm from out of town and will be leaving in a few days. I'm afraid that you are here and I just rescued you and you were harmed by the princess again."

After hearing this, Hua Yan felt a little at ease. She hated Princess Huaizhen so much that she said with a long look:

"How could she remember me...it hurts, but it's not her who is miserable..."

Hearing this, Shen Liuzhen seemed to feel the same way and murmured:

"Yes, it hurts and is miserable for people like us. They have done evil, but there is no punishment. I really hope God will send retribution..."

When Hua Yan heard this, her eyes lit up and she said fiercely:

"She did get her retribution, but it's a pity that it wasn't enough..."

"...What retribution?" Shen Liuzhen asked curiously.
