Chapter 109 Can’t escape
At this moment, her heart was filled with regret.
He regretted having been an enemy of Gu Qinlan and regretted running away from home on an impulse.
If she had been able to bow her head and give in to Gu Qinlan at that time, what could Gu Qinlan do to her?
At best, she was controlled by the strict Nanny Zhang and forced to learn those complicated etiquettes. What did that matter?
If she could go back in time, she would never repeat the same mistake and make such a stupid mistake.
However, does she still have a chance?
Zheng Huiyi's tears rolled down like pearls from a broken string, and the tears mixed with the mud on her face, forming traces that contrasted with her swollen face, making her look even more miserable.
Mother Luo rolled her eyes impatiently and turned her gaze to the other girl.
"You have seen what happened to that stupid girl. If you don't want to be dragged out like her and fed to wild dogs, just be obedient. Am I going to harm you?"
The girl was speechless and just cried quietly.
Mother Luo had no intention of continuing to lecture the girl, so she simply had the girl dragged away.
She looked around at the girls in the room and sneered, "No matter how prominent your status was in the past, once you step into my territory, don't even think about escaping. Even if you manage to escape, do you think those families will still accept people like you who have been insulted?"
"You know the strict rules of a big family better than anyone else. After you go back, the best outcome for you is to accompany the ancient Buddha for the rest of your life, or to end your life on your own to preserve the family's reputation. Either way, it's better than living with me. So, think about it carefully, my silly girls."
Mother Luo left with her men, leaving only a few shivering girls in the room and a large pool of blood on the ground.
The smell of blood stimulated Zheng Huiyi's senses, causing her to tremble involuntarily.
She was terrified to the extreme after witnessing the girl being tragically killed in front of her eyes.
She couldn't imagine what she would do if she was the next one to be taken away.
Should he resolutely kill himself like that girl, or should he reluctantly accept Luo's mother's arrangement?
No, absolutely not.
She is the daughter of the Zheng family!
Her father, brothers, and even ancestors were all heroes who went down in history. Even when facing death, they sacrificed bravely on the battlefield to defend their country.
If she became a prostitute under Mother Luo in order to survive, it would bring an indelible shame to the Zheng family. How could she face her elders, brothers and ancestors in the future!
However, her fear of death far outweighed the hardships of survival.
She was only seventeen years old, and the chapter of her life had just begun. She did not want to wither away, and even more so did not want her body to be abandoned in the wilderness after her death, to be torn and devoured by wild dogs.
Just imagining that tragic scene was enough to break her heart.
Zheng Huiyi was so angry that she couldn't help but slap herself a few times.
Why did you do such a ridiculous thing! Why did you run away from home! Why did you trust a stranger so easily!
How can she escape from this cage?
That's right, it's time to escape!
She must not sit still and wait for death!
Zheng Huiyi's face was covered with bruises. She struggled to get up and began to search carefully in this claustrophobic room, trying to find a clue to escape.
The other girls looked at her with empty eyes and expressionless faces, remaining silent.
Zheng Huiyi searched for a long time but found nothing, so she turned to them and asked, "How long have you been here? Have you found any loopholes to escape?"
The oldest girl pulled the corner of her mouth and said in a dry voice: "You'd better give up this idea. Everyone who comes in has turned this place upside down, but who can escape successfully? Even if you escape from this room, can you escape from this yard? Do you know the situation outside?"
Zheng Huiyi shook her head.
The girl showed despair on her face and said, "There are more than a dozen ferocious dogs in the yard outside, and the guards just now are also guarding outside. Unless you have the ability to walk through the ground, it is simply wishful thinking for you to escape."
As if to confirm her words, bursts of shrill dog barking were heard outside.
The sound was heart-pounding and chilling.
Zheng Huiyi's face turned even paler.
The girl smiled sadly: "It's fate. Now that you have stepped into this place, you can either choose to die to preserve your reputation, or give up your dignity and become a shameless prostitute. There is no other way."
Zheng Huiyi shook her head firmly: "No, I will never accept my fate. I will never accept my fate! I am the daughter of Prince Duan's Mansion. My father and brothers are all brave and fearless generals. I am a noble princess. I don't want to become a prostitute, and I don't want to end my life here. I must find a way out and escape from here."
When Zheng Huiyi announced her prominent status, the girls around her couldn't help but look at her in surprise.
"Are you the daughter of Prince Duan's mansion?"
Zheng Huiyi nodded continuously, her pride overflowing in her words: "That's right, my father is Prince Duan Zheng Zhanming, I think you have heard of him! I am his favorite child, and my brother Zheng Dinglian is a general of the fourth rank. If he knew I was here, he would definitely lead his troops to raze this place to the ground!"
One of the girls chuckled and broke her fantasy: "Stop dreaming. Your past identity is of no importance here. If outsiders knew your true identity, it would only bring shame to the family. It would be useless."
"Have you heard of the girl who just died? She was born in a noble family in the capital, and her status was far higher than yours, but how did she end up?"
"She had revealed her noble identity to the outside world. Mother Luo even sent someone to the capital to try to get her family to redeem her at a high price. Unfortunately, her family claimed that the girl had been bedridden and dying. I'm afraid that at this moment, her family has already held a funeral for her."
The girl's words revealed a hint of indifference. "As Mother Luo said, the more prominent the family, the more they care about their reputation. How could they accept a daughter with such a disgraced reputation?"
After saying this, she fell to her knees in despair and burst into tears.
Zheng Huiyi couldn't help but burst into tears, overwhelmed with grief.
……
Inside Prince Duan’s Mansion.
Jiang Ye's face was still as solemn as lead: "There is still no clue. We have searched all the inns in the city, and even those brokers have been secretly visited in the name of buying people, but there is still no news of the young lady."
Gu Qinlan's expression was equally gloomy. "Today is the third day of pursuit. All the search paths have yielded nothing. This leaves only one most worrying possibility."
brothel.
This is Gu Qinlan's most worrying scenario, but current signs indicate that this may be the most likely hiding place.
Jiang Ye's expression became more gloomy. It is extremely difficult to investigate such a place in depth. There are complex forces behind each brothel. If the prince was here, there might be some way, but now we can only rely on us..."
The chances of success are almost zero.
