Quick Transmigration: Pangu is Actually My Brother

Chapter 523 The Tyrant's Little Palace Maid (4)

When they fled famine, they traveled all the way to the capital and were eventually settled in Pingnan County, which was near the capital. It would only take half an hour to get there by horseback from the city.

It would take another hour by oxcart to reach Niutou Village, where the Xie family lived. It seemed very close, but we had never run into it in all these years.

"Your Majesty, may I leave the palace to take a look?"

"Alright, I'll go with you in a couple of days."

"Your Majesty, I can go by myself. It would be too much of a burden for you, with your precious health!"

"I am not wronged." Feng Qingchen's expression clearly indicated that there was no room for negotiation. Hopefully, her family members can accept it well.

But it's good to have His Majesty with us, after all, fifteen years have passed.

Wangyou tried hard to convince herself, but after talking for a long time, she still couldn't convince herself. She talked about how she took His Majesty to buy delicious food, how she went to Zuixianglou to see the ladies, and how she spent all her money on other things. Although she didn't save any of her monthly allowance, Her Majesty was very generous, so Wangyou still had quite a lot of private money.

But there's nothing you can do; you can't fight city hall.

On the day of departure, Feng Qingchen changed into casual clothes, and Wangyou also changed her clothes. The two of them set off with a number of people.

This was the first time Wangyou had left the palace in a year, but she didn't feel anything different; it was just like living in a different place.

But she wasn't in a hurry to find the Xie family. "Your Majesty...Young Master, may I go see the sisters who raised me?"

Feng Qingchen frowned. He naturally knew what kind of environment Wangyou had grown up in. Brothels were places where all sorts of people came from, and he himself had never been to such places.

"You can let them come out to see you."

“Your Majesty, in the eyes of outsiders they may not be good people, but to me they are the most important people. If it weren’t for the pressures of life, no one would want to live like this. If I could, I would like to help them,” Wangyou said earnestly.

"Go ahead, I will wait for you for half an hour at the teahouse ahead."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wangyou clutched the bundle tightly and headed towards the back door of Zuixianglou.

"Forget-Me-Not, why are you back?"

"I've come back to see you all. How are you?"

"We're still the same as before. You shouldn't have come back."

"Sister Xiangxiang, I just wanted to come and see you. I'm doing very well now, so you don't need to worry."

"It's good that you're doing well. We can't escape this quagmire in our lives. You have to go and see this beautiful land for us."

"Sister Xiangxiang, I brought several recipes. I want to talk to Aunt He about them. If these beauty recipes can be made, the sisters won't have to work so hard."

"What prescription did Little Forget-Me-Not bring?" Along with the voice came a scent of cosmetics.

"Aunt He, these are it. The sisters often have dark circles and pimples, right? These can be used to make them, and the ingredients aren't hard to find," Wangyou said, taking out several recipes.

"You silly child, quickly put this away. This is something you'll rely on in the future." Aunt He didn't even look at it and stuffed it directly into Wanhao's arms.

“Aunt He, I’m serious. If we could have a legitimate business, my sisters would have an easier life in the future.”

"Wangyou, I will accept your kindness, but this world does not allow it." Aunt He also wanted to, but this world is harsh on women.

Even a woman who gets divorced will be gossiped about, let alone a woman from a brothel who reforms. At least staying at Zuixianglou is a form of protection for her now. Once she leaves Zuixianglou, if she has no one to protect her, people from all walks of life can drive her to her death in an instant.

Even if someone protects me, I'll still be subject to gossip and criticism. I might as well stay at Zuixianglou.

Wangyou hadn't thought about these things. She hadn't expected there to be so many hidden tricks. Feeling a bit upset, she said, "Then Aunt He, keep these recipes and make them for the ladies in the building. At least they'll have more choices in the future."

"Alright, go back now and don't come back again. Now that you've left cleanly, don't come to places like this again." Aunt He said cruelly as she saw Wangyou off.

Looking at the closed door in front of her, Wangyou was not angry. She knew that Aunt He and the others were doing it for her own good. This world is always unfair to women.

I don't know if His Majesty can change this situation; she certainly can't, but she can encourage His Majesty.

Wangyou found Feng Qingchen at the teahouse and was walking upstairs when she saw several women trying to impress the tyrant, but they had clearly failed.

"Young master, I'm back."

"Why are you back so quickly?"

"Aunt He and my sisters wouldn't let me stay any longer, saying they were afraid that if someone saw me, it would ruin my reputation," Wangyou said dejectedly.

"Don't worry, you can go whenever you want in the future. I... I'll back you up."

"Thank you, young master. Let's go find my family then!"

The group rode their horses to Pingnan County. When they arrived, Wangyou realized she hadn't bought any gifts, so she bought gifts for everyone according to the population list in the book. They didn't buy anything expensive, just a small gift for each person.

After buying the goods, we went down to the village below.

The phrase "feeling timid as one approaches home" probably describes Wangyou's current situation, because she stood motionless at the village entrance.

"What's wrong? Are you scared?"

"I'm a little worried."

"What are you worried about? You're worried they don't like you."

"Hmm." Wangyou stepped on the grass.

"Why worry about that? They've been searching for you so persistently for so many years, they must care about you. Even if they don't like you, you can just ignore them." Feng Qingchen laughed and couldn't help but ruffle Wangyou's hair.

I'm so annoyed, but I dare not say it.

She spent so much time and effort creating her new hairstyle, and it was all gone with just one rub.

Seeing Wangyou's angry expression, Feng Qingchen belatedly let go of her hand, coughed lightly, and went inside.

Wangyou had no more thoughts of melancholy or sorrow, and followed Feng Qingchen to the village.

They arrived at midday, so they didn't encounter many people on the way. The undercover guards who were conducting the investigation automatically came out to lead the way, and they soon arrived at a house at the end of the village.

Looking at the house, it's considered one of the better-off families in the village.

"Who are you looking for?" a little boy asked curiously when he saw the strangers.

"I'm looking for Xie Wenshu and Yin Liuniang, that is, Xie Lao Er and his wife."

"Second Grandpa, Second Grandma, someone's looking for you!" the child shouted into the room.

"Who is it, coming to the door in the middle of the day?" A smartly dressed old woman came out.

Although fifteen years have passed, Wangyou can still roughly recall their appearances; Yin Liuniang's appearance has basically remained unchanged.

Then Xie Lao Er also came out. Xie Lao Er had a head of gray hair and looked very bitter.

"I am Wangyou, and I am seventeen years old." Wangyou was stunned for a long time before giving a simple self-introduction.
