It had been a day since Li Fengran and the girls crippled the villains. In order to maintain stomach and stamina while waiting for the search force to come find them, they naturally took turns foraging and keeping watch.
Li Fengran could not bear to let the beautiful girls who usually stayed at home with embroidery and practiced calligraphy become derelict. Sometimes when they were really tired, it was Li Fengran who would keep them alone.
Tonight, he's standing guard alone. The criminal tied to the tree accompanied him in closed eyes. He looked up at the sky, staring at the sky bathed in mid-spring moonlight.
Several times he was seen breathing. His mind floated thinking of the circumstances to come. If by tomorrow Nangong Zirui does not find them, then increase one day they are abandoned. It should be enough to make the capital an uproar.
"Miss, why are you sitting here alone?" a girl came out from a simple tent and sat down beside Li Fengran.
"I can't sleep."
In fact, the girl knew that Li Fengran was actually on guard. This Sword Stakeholder ignored himself and skipped his sleeping hours to keep them safe.
For these two days, they had already known what the temperament of the extremely famous Sword Stakeholder was like. He looked resolute and reckless, yet his heart was so warm and caring.
Had she been Queen Donghao, they would have been very happy and would not have dreamed of becoming a companion to the king. Unfortunately, this woman was placed in the position of Sword Stakeholder.
"We've been here two days. If the King doesn't come, what will Miss do?" ask the girl.
"What can be done, there's no choice but to find your own way home."
"I'm sure the King will come. Miss is the woman's official, the only one, she's definitely coming."
"I hope so too. By the way, what's your name? We have been through difficulties together, but do not know each other's names yet" Li Fengran said interspersed with laughter.
The girl laughed too.
"My name is Song Jin'er."
"You're the daughter of the Minister of Finance, Song Jiaren?"
"Miss knows?"
"Well, I've seen Minister Song several times discussing with His Majesty."
"Although I'm the daughter of the Minister of Finance, it doesn't guarantee anything."
Song Jin'er's eyes dimmed slightly.
"Why?"
"Miss, I was born to a concubine. My mother was originally a foot washer. If it wasn't for my father being drunk, I probably wouldn't have been born into the world."
Song Jin'er wailed. He recalled the bitter days when he and his mother were bullied at the residence, not fed and often beaten by his father's wife.
Song Jin'er is everyday like a maid. He was arrested and treated unfairly. If it wasn't for the celebration, Song Jin'er couldn't have come out to play. Who would have thought he was kidnapped and almost sold.
Li Fengran sighed. Again like this. Is it important to be born from a concubine or not? Clearly within them flowed the blood and flesh of their parents. Where is the term bastard! There are only lucky and disadvantaged children!
"Are they the same?" Li Fengran asked as he pointed at the four other girls who were sleeping. Song Jin'er nodded.
"The one in blue was Lin Jiarui, the fourth daughter of the Head of the Law Department. While the one in pink, her name was Lu Mengshao, the second daughter of the Assistant Minister of Rites. The one in the light yellow dress was Ding Yuan'er, the fifth daughter of the Minister of Work. The last one, Gu Wanwan, the daughter of the Minister of Administration who a few days ago committed suicide. They were just like me, the daughter of a concubine and disliked at the residence."
Li Fengran nodded in understanding. Perhaps that was the reason why these criminals dared to kidnap them. Just because they are not liked, then there will be no one who cares whether they exist or not.
"Living in such a family is very difficult, right?"
"Difficult indeed. But rather than living on the streets without a destination, suffering a little is better."
"I can't help because that's not my authority. But if every complaint happens without being reported, then when will the women in this dynasty be able to live comfortably?"
"Miss, do you think that women don't just have to be housewives?"
"of course. If an official like me exists, then there are more possibilities for the others."
"But what about family?"
"No need to care about other people's views. Live for yourself."
Song Jin'er smiled brightly. She enjoys meeting women whose thinking is unconventional and views equality as a normal norm. Being equal in this age is hard, having to be truly successful if you want to be detached from people's talk.
Li Fengran gave him great confidence to advance. Sword Stakeholder is right, no need to care about the views of others. They have been shackled by the family's old rules so they have no faith, making them live for others. It is time to live for yourself.
"After we have survived the dangers of today, start living for yourself. Find me at the palace anytime if you need help, Miss Song."
"My sword is very kind and intelligent. No wonder His Majesty the King put you by his side. Later, Miss must have been a great success."
"I don't expect success. I just want to live safe and rich all my life."
"Wish this Miss who wouldn't?"
Li Fengran chuckled.
"Is it too grandiose?" tanyakanya.
"Not really. And what about love?"
"Love? Hm, I don't know what to answer."
Li Fengran was confused by the word love. There was love in her heart, but she was afraid. Nangong Zirui could have been flailing, but could he really ignore the others?
I don't know, only time can prove it.
"I'm sure there are a lot of people who like Miss. Miss is the talent of one out of thousands."
"You'll meet more people like me if you visit my hometown."
"Has Danchuan women always been talented?"
"Em, not Danchuan. My hometown is far away."
"Then Miss must have missed Miss's hometown."
Li Fengran looked at the sky. The stars flicker with the moonlight.
"Yes, I do miss my hometown a little."
