support his studies, spending a considerable sum of the family's money."They said Daddy was the hope of the family's glory.Since father disappeared on his way to take the imperial examination, grandpa...When Zong Yu and Fang Jinxiu came into another room, they were completely shocked by the scene before them.

There were several women in the house, their clothes disheveled, their bodies covered in bruises and scars.

Zong Yu immediately turned around and walked out.

The girls, already worn down by torment, were jumpy. A slight sound would send them quivering like reeds in the wind, huddled together for comfort.

One girl had despair in her eyes, hugging her knees and cowering in the corner.

The moment Fang Jinxiu stepped into the room, she understood what it was for.

These animals!

She comforted the women with tenderness, "Don't be afraid, all of you. I have some food and water here. Whoever needs it, please come and take some."

"Don't be afraid, everyone. Those bandits have already been tied up by us, you are free now."

The women, upon hearing this, did not display expressions of joy but instead wore looks of despair and numbness on their faces. Tears streamed down their eyes like flowing water.

Mu Yunyan's eyes welled up, and she couldn't bear to watch any longer.

This era is far more cruel than she imagined.

A woman's status is unimaginably low.

If she hadn't been lucky enough to meet a good man like Zongyu, her fate would probably not have been much better than these other girls.

How many families in the world are like Zongyu's

At the very least, she still had a space to defend herself as a fallback option. These women, however, could only be slaughtered at will.

I'm going to get you some clothes.

Fang Jinshi told Zongyu to go get some more water from the water tank. When she was looking for clothes, she brought out all the ready-to-eat dry rations she could find in the space.

The girls, having been clothed and having eaten and drunk some water, were clearly in better spirits than before.

Fang Jinshu didn't want to ask them what had happened, this kind of scene didn't need any further questioning.

The sight brought tears to the girls' eyes, reopening old wounds.

Many girls were brought here from nearby areas, and some went home to find their parents.

Some families were still inside the bandit's lair, and in the end, three or four girls were left without finding their relatives to claim them.

They hid by Fang Jinshu's side.

"Sister Jinxiu, we have already lost our innocence. Now our family doesn't want us anymore. We might as well die clean and end this mess, so we won't cause you any trouble."

"Yeah, I don't want to live anyway."

"Woooooooooooooooo, I'm too ashamed to live in this world anymore."

Several young women cried into a mess, Fang Jinshu was distressed for a while.

Don't be afraid, what's death Life is your own. If you die, it only makes those beasts who bully you happier.

"Don't you want to see them get what they deserve Are you just going to let them mistreat and abuse you like this"

Just as Fang Jinshu's words fell, a sudden crash came from behind her. It was the sound of a chair falling to the ground.

Immediately, a young woman cried out, "Oh! Someone has hanged themselves!"

In the midst of the chaos, Fang Jinshi couldn't keep an eye on every woman. One slipped past her unnoticed and hanged herself.

She quickly directed the girls to help save the person. Fortunately, they found them in time, and nothing serious happened.

Fang Jinshu looked at the girl who had hanged herself. Her face was filled with despair, even though her face was covered in tears.

Despair to the extreme, no sadness no joy.

Why do you want to be so disheartened Even ants struggle to survive.

Fang Jinshi didn't know how to persuade them. She wasn't like these girls, so she couldn't empathize with them. Saying more would be pointless at this moment.

After being rescued, the woman suddenly screamed hysterically.

"Mind your own business! Who asked you to interfere!"

"Why won't you let me die, let me die." She cried out in anguish.

"What face do I have left to live in this world, ah!"

This young lady was too agitated. Fang Jinshu simply knocked her unconscious, planning to find her relatives after dealing with the bandits in the courtyard.

"Qianqian! Is it Qianqian in there Qianqian is my daughter!" Dean Qin shouted excitedly outside.

He and Zongbei were stopped by Zongyu who was guarding the door.

"You can't go in, there are many girls inside besides your daughter."

Now all the girls are afraid to see strange men, except for Fang Jinshi. None of them dare go near him.led white, Zong Bai took a sip, and almost cried with happiness.It's been ages since I've had such clean water. My sister-in-law's prepared water is not only clear and pure, but it even has a hint of...
