"By the way, this is for you!" the two people spoke at the same time.
The fruit green scarf and gold earrings appeared in the hands of the two little girls at the same time.
"Wow! I love it. Thank you, Nannan."
These were bought with the bits and pieces of money they had saved over the years.
"Hehehe, when I'm gone, you'll think of me when you see this fruit green scarf!"
Ji Tunan looked at the fruit green silk scarf carefully, and saw the word "Nan" written on it.
Tan Shengnan discovered the English letter "nan" in a small corner of the earring.
Both of them were very satisfied with the gifts given by each other.
After Tan Shengnan left, Ji Tunan followed her mother to learn the rules and regulations, and also learned the old-fashioned ideas of women's three obediences and four virtues. She was trapped at home all day, and when she was bored, she stared at the sky in all four corners.
What does the world outside look like?
The recent decline in food and clothing made Ji Tunan realize that something was wrong. Sure enough, his younger brother went to the gambling house to gamble again, and the family did not have much money to help his brother pay off his debts.
Her parents targeted her and arranged a ghost marriage for her with a dead man.
Ji Tunan has always behaved very well. Rather than being forced to marry with her mouth covered and her hands and feet tied, she would rather take the initiative in her own hands.
When his cousin asked him if he was willing to elope with him and go to the city that never sleeps, Ji Tunan hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
It was an open city. She would start a new life there by following her cousin. Rather than being trapped in a big house for the rest of her life, she wanted to be a Kunpeng flying south.
The plan went smoothly, and Ji Tunan and Xiang Wu arrived at the city that never sleeps.
This place was indeed as prosperous as the rumors said, and the public security was also very good, but the land was extremely expensive and the prices were too high. The betrothal money she brought with her was soon squandered.
Ji Tunan also gradually discovered that Xiang Wu was far less reliable than she had thought, but there was nothing she could do. She was already his, they were husband and wife, and she could not live without him.
Thinking of the death of his father and mother, and his good friend who had no news from him and was unknown whether he was alive or dead, Ji Tunan suddenly lost his strength.
"This fruit green silk scarf looks good and can be sold for a good price." Xiang Wu rummaged through his wife's makeup box and found a silk scarf made of high-quality material.
"I can't give this to you." Ji Tunan rushed forward numbly, grabbed the scarf tightly, and held it in his arms.
Xiang Wu was furious and wanted to snatch the scarf away, but his wife was very protective of it, so he resorted to force and beat Ji Tunan severely.
Ji Tunan was covered in wounds, and the baby in her belly was gone.
After recuperating from his injuries for a while, Ji Tunan noticed the newspaper bought by Xiang Wu. The content on it clearly stated that the Southern Marshal’s only son was getting married, and the picture of the bride who was not smiling was clearly Tan Shengnan.
Some neighbors were also discussing this matter, saying mysteriously, "It is said that the bride was defiled by horse bandits, tut tut tut..."
"Nannan..."
Recently, Xiang Wu's eyes have been looking at her more and more strangely. Ji Tunan feels that he is going to take action against her. She has heard her husband talking to other people about her beauty and how much she can be sold for.
Ji Tunan was a little frightened, but he didn't expect that an accident would happen and Xiang Wu would die.
Ji Tunan also received a huge sum of money, which was said to be paid by the person who drank with Xiang Wu. He also said that as compensation, Ji Tunan could be sent abroad.
Ji Tunan refused and went back to Yuncheng first. Her parents and brother died for unknown reasons, but she didn't care much.
As usual, he took the white daisy to the mountain to pay tribute to his father and mother, but the two graves had been moved.
After all these years of torture, Ji Tunan had become very haggard. She disguised herself as a beggar and a crazy woman, and went to the bandits to help them light fires and cook, begging for food.
After gaining the trust of the bandits, he put drugs into the well water, took their knives, and chopped off the heads of the group of people.
After doing all these things, she went to the city where Nie Qixuan was, used some tricks, and took advantage of the reputation of being Tan Shengnan's good sister to successfully become Nie Qixuan's fifth concubine.
"Tan Shengnan, your vision of people is not very good. This is your good sister, huh." Nie Qixuan pinched Tan Shengnan's chin, and seeing that she still had a cold expression, he couldn't help but get a little angry.
Tan Shengnan still had that cold look on her face. Everyone in the Nie family looked down on her. Nie Qixuan trapped her. Tan Shengnan wanted to kill him countless times, but unfortunately he was on guard against her.
To be precise, the entire Nie family was on guard against this ungrateful woman.
Tan Shengnan thought of Ji Tunan.
She helped her find Ji Tunan's parents who wanted to go to the City That Never Sleeps to find Ji Tunan, helped Ji Tunan kill her husband who wanted to send Ji Tunan to another man's bed, and gave Ji Tunan the opportunity to go abroad.
She hoped that Ji Tunan could leave the turbulent country and go out to see the world.
She is not free, but she hopes someone can be free for her.
Who would have thought that Ji Tunan would come back and willingly become Nie Qixuan's fifth concubine. He had completely changed and was confronting her head-on.
Tan Shengnan was extremely disappointed and ignored his old friend.
"Don't you dare say that about her."
"I went against everyone's opinion and married you, a person without a clean record. Not only are you not grateful, but you keep looking at me like this? Huh?"
"Set me free."
"impossible."
Ji Tunan thrives in the Nie family, fighting to the death with the concubines. He also learns to please everyone except Tan Shengnan.
The group of concubines started to make fun of Tan Shengnan as usual, and then they mentioned Ji Tunan, "I heard that Fifth Sister and Madam have been good friends since childhood, so she must have a very good relationship with Madam."
"Madam is Madam, she is not my good friend. It is a shame for me to have such a friend." Ji Tunan said with a smile.
When Nie Qixuan heard this, he mocked Tan Shengnan as usual. After that, he talked about what happened recently, "The Nie family is going abroad."
The Nie family has been defeated by the young commander in the north and is unable to hide its decline. They have no choice but to leave the country and then find a chance to fight back.
"But don't worry, you can't escape death. How can I give you freedom?" Nie Qixuan was full of madness.
"Before I leave, can I go to pay my respects to my parents?" Tan Shengnan said in a low voice.
Nie Qixuan finally agreed.
"Fifth concubine, Madam wants you to accompany her to worship her parents." The maid stepped forward. Madam, who never spoke to Fifth Concubine, rarely sent someone to pass a message to Ji Tunan today.
"Tsk, she won't go. If she wants to go, she can go by herself. What does her parents have to do with me? There is a family dinner tonight. She just can't stand seeing me doing well and doesn't want me to show my face in front of the Marshal's wife." Ji Tunan nonchalantly played with the round fan in his hand with disgust in his eyes.
Once a year, the Nie family would gather together for a family dinner.
The concubines nearby just found it funny. It was not common to see sisters turning against each other.
"Madam, you are so unlucky to choose such a time."
"People are unlucky too."
