Ye Jiu was the same, from initially empathizing with the girls to later, even though she was separated from them, she still felt pity for them. But now, as she watched the girls cry and take beatings, she could remain indifferent.
However, she was ultimately different from those old matrons; she was just numb, yet her heart still maintained that original kindness.
If she could, she would also want to save them.
But now, there was simply nothing she could do!
In February, the weather began to warm up, and the trees in the courtyard started to sprout.
During this time, Ye Jiu had successfully gained the trust of those few old matrons and also acquired a room of her own.
Now, she was able to go out alone.
Only, before going out, she still had to report to Madam Xun.
Ye Jiu didn’t run away because she hadn’t solved the issue with the place guide. Even if she did run, she wouldn’t get far and would eventually be caught.
At night, Ye Jiu boiled two eggs in the kitchen and then carried them back to her room alone, silently eating them up.
On the second day of February, Dragon Heads-raising Day, it was her birthday. It was said to be a very auspicious day, but she never had a bit of fortune from childhood till now.
No, she had, the greatest fortune in her life was having He as a mother.
After eating both eggs, Ye Jiu lay in bed.
Suddenly, she remembered she had not entered the Plane Space in a long time.
Back at home, with lots of time, she always thought of making money quickly to give her family a better life, so whenever she had time, she would go to the space, busy making trades and trying to make money.
But just as the living conditions at home were finally improving, she had not had the chance to dispose of the goods exchanged in her space and was sold off.
Upon entering the Dimensional Space, La Sike’s icon was still dim, while on Cha Yi’s side, there were hundreds of video messages, but the latest one was sent before the new year.
Looking at the life bar below, she was still a little distance from being able to search for the next Plane. She also wondered when La Sike would be able to return.
She clicked on Cha Yi’s video request, and it was quickly connected.
Cha Yi was surprised to see Ye Jiu, “Ye Jiu, how did you lose so much weight all of a sudden? Aren’t you getting enough to eat? I just hunted some game; do you want some?”
A warmth filled Ye Jiu’s heart.
Looking down at her body, her originally plump figure had indeed lost a lot of weight, at least reaching a normal standard.
If not for Cha Yi’s reminder, she wouldn’t have noticed she had lost weight in this period.
Ye Jiu could already imagine, when she returned home, how heartbroken He would be to see her now so thin, wondering tearfully why she had lost so much weight!
Suddenly, Ye Jiu smiled, the long-held gloominess sweeping away in an instant.
“No need, I don’t lack food here. It’s just that some things happened recently, so I haven’t been able to come in. Seeing that you sent so many video requests, I wanted to ask if something was up,” Ye Jiu said.
“Not really, it’s just that suddenly I couldn’t contact you, thought you didn’t want to trade with me anymore,” Cha Yi said with a shy smile.
After all, in his eyes, the things Ye Jiu gave him were akin to divine artifacts, whereas all he could offer were some unimportant hunted animals and fur.
“I was kidnapped, and I’ve been thinking about how to escape, so I didn’t have the mind to trade,” Ye Jiu explained.
