Chapter 315: Chapter 316: Find Someone (Third update)_1

Nan Feng looked at Ye Ge, her troubled expression gradually softening.

Before, she had been carrying a heavy load in her heart, angry at Lin Qiaoyun’s dishonesty. Such an important matter and Qiaoyun hadn’t been upfront, letting her run around everywhere. But seeing the sincerity in Ye Ge’s eyes now, she suddenly felt the gloom in her heart dissipating.

She nodded and smiled: "Ye Ge, I understand what you mean. Don’t worry, I know what to do."

Ye Ge thought for a moment. "How about this - I’ll help you set up a meeting with someone. Perhaps this person can help you."

"Oh? Who?" asked Nan Feng.

"I will find the person first, and tell you the time and place afterwards," Ye Ge had always been like this, taking great care in handling matters but only revealing half of his plans. He would never speak of something he wasn’t certain about.

Nan Feng nodded, signaling her understanding.

...

Under cover of night, Nan Feng had finally managed to shake off the trackers from the Zhang Residence. She sneakily made her way back into the Inn where Nan Quanyou and Madame Yun were hiding, cleverly using a rope to get in through a rear window.

Nan Quanyou knew that Nan Feng would definitely come, so he hadn’t slept. Lin Qiaoyun also hadn’t slept. Only Fu Ge, his face peaceful in slumber, was stretched out on the bed.

As soon as Nan Feng entered, Nan Quanyou greeted her as if she were a savior. "Feng girl, what’s the situation? Will they allow us to ransom her?"

Lin Qiaoyun did not react as intensely. She was well aware of Master Zhang’s character — there was no possibility he would allow her to be bought out.

Nan Feng first pressed Nan Quanyou back into his seat. "Father, sit here first. I have something to ask Madame Yun."

She turned to Lin Qiaoyun: "Madame Yun, I hope you’ll be honest about your relationship with the Zhang Residence. Otherwise, I won’t know how I can help you properly."

When Nan Quanyou had returned that afternoon he’d immediately asked Lin Qiaoyun why she hadn’t told him about the servant contract. She’d been evasive, never daring to tell the truth. But when Nan Feng asked, Lin Qiaoyun gritted her teeth and nodded solemnly. "Alright, I’ll tell you everything."

However, as soon as she nodded, tears welled up in her eyes, perhaps triggered by some heartbreaking memory.

Nan Feng held Lin Qiaoyun’s hand. "Madame Yun, don’t rush. I will surely find a way to rescue you."

Holding back her tears, Lin Qiaoyun began to recount her past: "A few years ago, my late husband and I fled to this place from the north. We were among the earliest refugees to reach Ping County. There were not so many refugees back then, so it was easy to find work. My husband quickly landed a job as a laborer at Master Zhang’s. Although he was always lazy, gambled, and drank, he was even worse after we came to Ping County. I’m not sure why I put up with him."

"After some time, my husband once again lost a bet and ended up in debt. It happened that Master Zhang’s household was in need of servants. My despicable husband thought of selling me. Without my knowledge, he signed off on the documents, and all of a sudden, I was sold into Master Zhang’s Residence. It was only after I’d been sold that I realized I had signed a life-long servitude contract. I became the lowest-ranked servant in the Zhang Residence, responsible for doing the laundry. In the beginning, it was so hard I cried all the time. I also missed Fu Ge. Because of this, I was often beaten up by the steward. Not long after, Master Zhang took notice of me. He forced me to...to... If it weren’t for Fu Ge still being small, I would have rather died..."

At this point, Lin Qiaoyun broke down into tears again.
