Chapter 1865: Madam Chang Is Tragic
Editor: Henyee Translations
"Madam Chang’s parents were also very angry that Madam Chang couldn’t get married. Later, they heard someone’s idea and said that they wanted to sell Madam Chang to be a servant."
However, the Chang family’s parents did not find out the background of the family who bought Madam Chang. They believed that they were merchants who came here to do business and were not locals.
In the end, the person who bought her was not from a rich family at all. He only wanted to recruit girls as merchants. He was from a brothel.
Madam Chang originally did not reject being a maidservant. She had always done the most and ate the least at home. As long as she worked hard as a maidservant in someone else’s residence, she might be able to gain the master’s favor and eat a full meal. She would not have to be beaten half to death by her parents and elder brother.
However, who would have thought that she would be taken away from her hometown to Anyi County and into a brothel?
Here, she was unfamiliar with the place and did not even know anyone. She was indecisive and desperate.
It was at this moment that Young Master Ren appeared.
"The first guest Madam Chang received was Eldest Young Master." Nanny sighed. "Eldest Young Master was actually a good person, but he thought he was a playboy and liked to drink. Occasionally, they would go out together to have fun, and that was how he got to know Madam Chang."
The corners of Gu Yundong’s mouth twitched. This was not called good person. This was called... prostitution, right?
However, this kind of thing was normal in this era. Didn’t those scholars like to stay in brothels to stimulate their inspiration to write good poems?
"What happened next?"
"After that, Madam Chang found out about Eldest Young Master’s identity. She probably wanted to grab onto a life-saving straw and begged Eldest Young Master to save her. She even said that she was willing to do anything to repay Eldest Young Master. Eldest Young Master pitied her and indeed liked her personality. In addition, he was the first and only man that Madam Chang had, so he agreed."
Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan looked at each other. She would do anything to repay the young master of the Ren family...
She did repay the Ren family, but it was the opposite of what she had promised.
Nanny Sun said, "This matter was quite big in the residence back then. Eldest Young Master is the young master of the county magistrate’s family. If he wants to take in a concubine, there are many good women. Why would he take in a concubine from a brothel? Not only will he be laughed at, but the entire Ren family will also be laughed at. However, Eldest Young Master almost fell out with his family as if he was possessed."
In the end, the county magistrate and Madam Wang agreed.
In Young Master Ren’s backyard, there was Aunt Chang.
"This Aunt Chang was indeed capable. After Eldest Young Master took her in, she had always been favored. Her husband ran to her courtyard every other day."
However, after Nanny Sun married into the Yang family with Yang He’s mother, she knew less about the Ren family.
Gu Yundong was deep in thought. After a while, she looked up. "Then where did Aunt Chang go when the Ren family was in trouble?"
"At that time, the residence was in chaos, so I didn’t investigate carefully. It was just that later on, all the men in the Ren family were sentenced to beheaded, and the women were exiled. As for Madam Chang... I heard that after she found out that the Eldest Young Master had been beheaded, she couldn’t accept it for a moment and committed suicide in the cell for the Eldest Young Master."
At that time, when she heard it, she thought that she had misunderstood Madam Chang.
She originally thought that Madam Chang was a vixen who seduced the young master and could not leave her every day.
She did not expect her to be an infatuated woman. That girl usually looked weak, but in the end, she would actually do such a thing.
Recalling the past and the tragic state of the family back then, Nanny Sun couldn’t help but wipe her tears.
