During that period of time, Tofu Pudding didn't even know how he survived.
Seeing that her mother's illness was getting worse, the city gates of the capital did not allow patients with the plague to enter the city to prevent infection.
Their family lived in this cold kiln. They were already considered lucky to be able to find a cold kiln in the suburbs as a place to live.
However, he could not survive outside the city. He heard that the south gate of the capital could be entered and exited.
Tofu Pudding 'er and her father had no choice but to mix with the refugees. They finally managed to sneak into the city. Tofu Pudding' er and her father wanted to enter the city to find a way to earn money to buy medicine for their mother.
In the end, the tofu pudding found the human trafficker market on East Street. She persuaded her father to sell her and then treat her mother.
His father was crying as he firmly opposed it. The tofu pudding was also crying heartlessly.
But there was no other way. If he wanted to survive, this was the only way out.
The father and daughter had not eaten for three days. Just like that, the tofu pudding was placed in the human trafficking market in the east of the city with straw stuck in its head.
Here, the price of a human life was not even comparable to that of a livestock.
Livestock could eat meat and farm, but humans were the least valuable here.
Many brothels 'brothels came here to pick girls from poor families, and the father of the tofu pudding protected his daughter.
Even if her daughter starved to death, she couldn't go to that kind of place.
Fortunately, the tofu pudding was too young and did not attract the attention of the brothel madame.
Instead, a weird eunuch walked over with a handkerchief in his hand. This person was Wang Zhixin.
Wang Zhixin had taken a fancy to Tofu Pudding and wanted her to be a maid in the manor.
Just like that, the tofu pudding was sold to Wang Zhixin for three taels and seven silver coins.
The tofu pudding was very happy, and so was her father.
At the very least, she wouldn't starve to death if she became a maid. At the very least, she could sell her money to save her mother if she became a maid.
But so what? When the father returned to the cold kiln with the three taels and seven silvers, his mother had already passed away.
It was still this place, and even this bed.
He had only sent his mother away, and now, the bed was replaced by his father's skinny corpse.
Tofu Pudding 'er was unfortunate. Her parents had died tragically in this evil doomsday dynasty.
Compared to the commoners who were even more miserable, she seemed to be somewhat lucky.
Countless innocent refugees had fallen to the roadside as corpses from hunger.
The commoners who had lost their fields were starving to death by the roadside.
There were adults, children, infants, and the elderly.
They were all fresh lives. Whose fault was all this? Was it a natural disaster, a man-made disaster, the Ming Dynasty, or Chongzhen?
In this chaotic world, only powerful medicine could cure it.
The tofu pudding thought of death. That's right, death was the best release for her.
Her mother was gone, and her father was gone. In this cold world, what else was there for her to miss?
There were a hundred ways to die, but the tofu pudding couldn't find one.
Jumping into a well. There was no well here. Hanging himself. He was so poor that he didn't even have a hemp rope.
Even the heavens didn't want you to die. It was as if letting you live meant letting you suffer.
Tofu Pudding smiled. She wanted to fight against this cruel fate.
If you don't let me die, then I'll live for you to see!
Isn't it just marrying a eunuch?
Tofu Pudding stood up, turned around, and left the Cold Kiln.
She did not turn back to look at her father again. She was afraid that she would completely collapse if she looked at him.
His father's corpse was still lying in the cold kiln, while Tofu Pudding had returned to the capital, Wang Zhixin's residence.
"Eunuch Wang, my father is gone."
Tofu Pudding said casually. She no longer looked at Wang Zhixin with fear in her eyes. Instead, her gaze was cold.
Yes, these did not look like the eyes of a living person.
Tofu Pudding 'er had already given up on this world. She was only alive to fight, to stubbornly resist the merciless fate.
Wang Zhixin was shocked. This father-in-law was so good, how could he be gone?”
He tried his best to put on a sad expression, but for some reason, when he saw the look in Tofu Pudding's eyes, Wang Zhixin actually felt a little uneasy.
"Since I agreed to marry you, now that my father is gone, you have to send someone to give him a grand burial.”The tofu pudding continued to look at him calmly.
Wang Zhixin was stunned. He had never thought that this girl would dare to speak to him like this. She was no longer afraid of him.
"Alright, I, I will give the order now. I will definitely bury father-in-law properly.”
"And my mother, I want you to build a tomb for my parents. Outside the capital, next to the cold kiln.”
Wang Zhixin actually stuttered a little." One, definitely. I will definitely do it. I will definitely do it gloriously."”
……
Zhu Ci Xin left the palace once again and came to the North Town Office.
At this time, Luo Yangxing had been waiting for a long time. Zhu Ci was sitting next to the file, and Luo Yangxing respectfully handed the file over.
"Your Highness, these are the activities of Chen Yan, Wei Zaode, and Wang Zhixin that we've investigated over the past few days.”
Zhu Ci Xin nodded and looked at the files one by one.
The dossier was very detailed, including Chen Yan's meetings with a few eunuchs in the palace these few days and what he had given to them.
Wei Zaode, that dog, had accepted bribes from a few examinees, and it was all recorded clearly.
When he saw Wang Zhixin's dossier, Zhu Ci was slightly stunned.""What is this?"
