"What's wrong?" prince Zhou Yhan halted his steps to turn his back on Princess Quan Ling.
"May I ask you one thing?" princess Quan Ling got off her bed approaching prince Zhou Yhan.
"Say!" prince Zhou Yhan was still turning his back on Quan Ling's daughter.
"Why are you being cold to your mother? It seems like she misses you a lot," said princess Quan Ling issuing a mind load that made her unable to sleep all night.
"I don't think it's any of your business and don't interfere!" prince Zhou Yhan looked angrily upon hearing the question from princess Quan Ling.
"Now it's too late at night, you better just sleep because tomorrow will begin to carry out your responsibilities as a wife." then the prince Zhou Yhan left the princess Quan Ling who was still wondering for not getting the answer he wanted from the prince Zhou Yhan who had currently become her husband.
'Responsible? Can I do it? Ah, I don't think so!' inner princess Quan Ling.
Indeed, his marriage to prince Zhou Yhan was based solely on the welfare of his people, not on love or attraction. Princess Quan Ling hoped her sacrifice would not be in vain.
Princess Quan Ling returned to her bed and tried to close her eyes even though it was very difficult for her.
Next day.
As usual, under the rule of king Fan Chris Wu all work was done by women. Old, young and children all work hard to earn a living to support their families.
Princess Quan Ling who was disguised as a commoner, happened to see all of that, princess Quan Ling felt astonished and wondered in her heart when she saw the women who worked hard to slash bones, while the men there just sit around while gambling.
That day princess Quan Ling was accompanied by her service person to look around the ShengShi royal area. The area is very large and fertile, but unfortunately the residents can not manage it well.
Many of their fields were left empty and abandoned, if only they could work diligently, Quan Ling's daughter believed life was much better than it is today.
While crossing a hut, Quan Ling's daughter saw with her own eyes a woman who was forced to work by her own husband. While her husband just sat in groups with other men.
"Sorry, Mom. May I ask? Princess Quan Ling intercepted the woman who was walking in haste while carrying a large basket she placed on her head.
"Why are you working alone? Where's your husband?" continued Quan Ling's daughter.
"I'm sorry, my husband is very sick so for a while I have to replace him to work" the woman replied lying.
Princess Quan Ling was speechless when she heard the reply from the woman who had clearly lied to her. He also could not do anything when the woman went away from him.
In addition to all that, Quan Ling's daughter understood that the woman was forced to lie because her husband would be angry with her if she told him what really happened.
The average woman in Rajevac village was a merchant, selling their small crops to a market not far from the village.
"Since when has this condition continued?" ask Quan Ling's daughter to the servant who was with her.
"Behold the servant has been like this ever since I remembered him," the servant replied in a voice that was deliberately kept so that no one would hear their conversation other than the three of them.
"Her servant's grandmother once said that this condition began when she was a teenager," said the other servant with a voice that was also delayed.
"Then, they all suffered a long time ago" muttered Quan Ling's daughter, "didn't any of you try to rebel against this injustice?"
"We dare not fight His Majesty King Fan Kris Wu, because if that happens then we will all die."
"But, now no longer, I swear I will try to change all these injustices, and I will also try to make their lives all prosperous." promised princess Quan Ling earnestly.
Princess Quan Ling and her two servants continued their journey through the village, now that princess Quan Ling felt much more interested in knowing the civilization of the Shengshi kingdom region more deeply.
Just at the time that Quan Ling's daughter was passing through the residential area. In a rickety old hut, princess Quan Ling's ears caught the sound of a child crying inside the hut.
Without saying anything to her two servants, princess Quan Ling rushed over to the hut.
The door of the hut was not tightly closed, and the surrounding walls made of woven bamboo had been hollowed out.
"It looks like this hut is old," muttered princess Quan Ling observing the rickety hut.
"Hiks... hiks... hiks… !" the sound of the child's cry grew louder.
Making Princess Quan Ling immediately push that door without asking for permission first.
"Little sister!" exclaimed Quan Ling's daughter when the door was opened and she saw a little boy about five years old crying beside her mother's body.
"Why little sister? Is she your mother?" Princess Quan Ling pointed towards a woman who was lying on her bed.
The little boy nodded.
"What's wrong with your mom?"
The little boy shook his head.
"I don't know, I'm hungry but I don't want to get up" the boy replied innocently.
Princess Quan Ling looked at the woman's face, she saw no breathing from her nose and her body looked stiff.
"His face was very pale, like it was not drained of blood at all," muttered Quan Ling's daughter.
Then Quan Ling's daughter walked up to the woman and checked her body condition, was it true what she was thinking?
"Oh, O god," said princess Quan Ling in surprise.
"What happened to Mom, Brother?" ask the little boy with a compassionate look on his face.
The little boy called Quan Ling's daughter big brother.
"Little sister, I'm sorry, I have to say that your mother is gone." Princess Quan Ling felt that she did not have the heart to say it, but she had to keep saying it.
"No? What does it mean that Mother Young Vei's sister is dead?" the little boy asked again with his tears that had flooded both his cheeks.
The boy, who was a boy, was named Young Vei. He could only cry while tightly hugging his mother's stiff body.
Looks like Young Vei's mother died last night from starvation. Young Vei's mother is willing not to eat for the sake of her child in order to keep feeling full. Because at that time they did not have a store of food, Young Vei's mother was willing to starve.
