"Miss, why are you still helping her after all she’s done to you?"
Feng Lvzhi muttered, her face filled with hatred towards Liu Yushui, asking Lin Caisang.
She could never forget why Liu Yushui and her daughter bought her back then. If she hadn’t run away promptly, she might have fallen victim to that scoundrel’s maliciousness long ago. She surely would have ended up in a fate worse than Liu Yushui’s.
Upon hearing this, Lin Caisang sidelong glanced at Feng Lvzhi, "Do you think I shouldn’t save her?"
"No, it’s not like that." Feng Lvzhi shook her head.
"In fact, I find Liu Yushui quite pitiable now, but her past actions... I would never grow fond of her."
Liu Yushui was someone who used to harm and take advantage of anyone she encountered. Though she appears to have reformed now, who knows if it’s just a pretense? She was terribly afraid Liu Yushui would target her again.
"Whenever I think of the things she said to me before, I feel afraid, but she’s no longer a threat now."
Liu Yushui was indeed no longer a threat, she had broken up with Zhou Liang. With only her and her two daughters left in the house, they were met with disdain from the villagers.
However, if during their conversation just now, Feng Lvzhi had said she shouldn’t save Liu Yushui, Lin Caisang wouldn’t have kept her around any longer and would have sent her away directly.
"Lvzhi, despite Liu Yushui and her daughter’s harsh words towards you, they were the ones who bought you. If not for them, who knows what your fate would have been."
She spoke to Feng Lvzhi.
"In fact, they saved you from the slave market. Even though their intentions were not good, wanting you to serve Zhou Liang in Liu Yushui’s place, your fate anywhere else may not have been any better than being bought by Liu Rumei."
Feng Lvzhi opened her mouth to speak but found herself lost for words upon hearing Lin Caisang’s words.
Miss is right, back in the slave market, she had seen plenty of old matrons picking out girls for their looks and vitality.
The purpose was clear to everyone; those chosen were destined to serve the masters as concubine maids.
During her time in the slave market, she lived in constant fear of being chosen, fearing during the day and at night, until she was picked by Liu Rumei. Her fate, in reality, was not much different.
She should actually thank Liu Rumei and Liu Yushui for the chance to stay with Miss now.
"Miss, I’ll go to Liu Yushui’s house tomorrow and help her do some laundry," she said after giving it some thought.
Lin Caisang nodded her head.
Days passed after Ya Molian left.
It didn’t take long before rumors started swirling in the village that Lin Caisang was abandoned by Ya Molian. It was widely said around the village that Ya Molian returned to his biological parents and found a suitable wife.
Initially, only a few villagers were spreading such rumors, but as the Lin family did not provide any clarification, the old biddies grew bolder and made wild speculations. Occasionally, they even gossiped about Lin Caisang’s rejection in front of the Lin family.
This infuriated Lu Qiubo.
"These people are outrageous! Enjoying the water our SangSang provides and daring to spread gossip about her! They’re asking for it! SangSang, from tomorrow morning onwards, we won’t give them water anymore!"
