Chapter 840: The King of the West and His Wives

are not considered precious jade. They would appear rough if used for jewelry making. Even for jade pillows, families with a bit more wealth wouldn't want to use them. So they simply grind them into b...Ah Xiang was the first to react to this: "If you have any questions, miss, please ask."

No matter if my mother's illness gets better or not, you did your best! We are already very grateful to you. 。"Axiang's father, on the other hand, was more cautious. He frowned and asked Ye Wenyan, "What do you want to know" He then glanced at Ye Feizhou, pondering, "Just who are you two exactly" Ye Feizhou: "Doctor..."。"The doctor should just treat the illness, why ask about other matters"Night Fei Zhou chuckled, "Saving someone who is at death's door without asking for a consultation fee is already considered a benefactor to your family. Is it wrong to inquire about things We are new here and know nothing about this Water City. Can't we just ask around"Ah Xiang's father's face wasn't looking good, but Night Fei Zhou's words left him speechless. He simply didn't answer, turning his head to ask Ah Xiang's mother, "How do you feel Are you feeling better"Ah Xiang's mother took a few deep breaths and tried to sit up on her own... 。Axiang's father habitually went to help her up, but she waved her hand and said, "No need to help, I can get up myself." 。The doctor's medical skills are truly amazing. Originally, I would feel panic with just a slight movement and my whole body would be weak. But now, I don't have that feeling anymore. 。She got up, even getting down to the floor, and walked around the room. 。That kind of fatigue and palpitations are gone, but my legs are still very swollen. Walking is not very comfortable. 。Ye Wen told her, "If you wait three more days, the swelling will go down. You don't need to take medicine these few days. If your family still has silver, buy some good supplements to nourish your body." 。After five, one can live like an ordinary person, even doing physical work. 。Then Axiang's father's expression softened, and he repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Ye Wen. 。Ah Xiang's mother said: "A simple 'thank you' is not enough for such great kindness, child's father. You should take Ah Xiang out to buy some food. It's almost dinner time, and we should treat our guests to a meal." 。Although we are poor, we can still afford simple meals. Come on!”

Ah Xiang's father seemed to understand her meaning, hesitated for a moment, but saw Ah Xiang's mother shaking her head slightly at him, "We cannot be ungrateful people. Besides, some things are destined not to remain in one's heart forever." 。“She didn’t understand what he meant, so she asked,” 。"These are grown-up matters, child. You should be less curious and go with your father to buy groceries. If we wait any longer, there won't be anything left to buy." 。The father and daughter went out. Ye Fei Zhou stayed behind, standing beside Ye Wen Yan. 。Ah Xiang's mother walked a few circles in the room before finally sitting down by the couch. She said sheepishly, "I haven't walked so freely on the ground for a long time, so I took a few extra steps. Doctor, please don't laugh at me." 。" I'm a doctor, I wouldn't joke about a patient's illness. " 。"Aunt, you know what I want to ask"

Ah Xiang's mother smiled bitterly, "I don't know, but I have a vague guess" 。"I wonder if it has something to do with that King Pingxi"

Ye Wenyan didn't shy away and nodded directly, "Yes! When we were on the street, I heard Ah Xiang wanted to go to King Pingxi's palace to apply for a cook position. Ah Xiang's father was very excited and wouldn't let her go" 。"I don't know what happened here that made you all so opposed to King Pingxi. Also, why did you leave your homes in the first place"

A Xiangniang took a deep breath and let it out, feeling her mind clear and her heart no longer constricted. She couldn't help but feel even more grateful towards Ye Wenyan.

...Not only against the King of Pingxi, but also against this water city. 。I would have stayed out there, but the child's father insisted on coming back to try our luck. I had no choice but to follow him. 。 Doctor, I don't know why you're asking about these things, but I advise you, no matter what the reason, stay away from the Pingxi Prince's Mansion. 。If you can leave Shuicheng, just leave. If you can't leave for now, then even after you get married, you must still leave. 。Otherwise, life would be unbearable. 。"What does she mean" She sat back down on the stool. "Why does it sound like King Pingxi is a man-eating tiger, and this Water City is a den of vipers Also, why do you have to leave after getting married Isn't it safe before marriage"Ah Xiang's mother: "It should be safe before marriage, right! Because this generation of King Pingxi doesn't like daughters, he only likes other people's wives..." 。In this water city, women from the age of fifteen to fifty-five could be targeted by him. He would then do everything he could to get them into the Pingxi Prince's Mansion for a taste of their beauty. 。After one experience, I just got tired of it and threw it out the gate. Some, however, wanted to stay for a long time, occupying the place and refusing to leave. 。Some people kept her for a while before abandoning her and sending her back home to her husband. 。Even wives who hadn't been targeted yet lived in fear day and night, because no one knew which step they took on the street that they might be seized by the Pingxi王府's people. 。I wonder if you noticed when you arrived, most people on the street are men, or like Ah Xiang, unmarried girls. 。None of those women dared to go out easily, and even if they had to go out, they usually painted their faces black to avoid being seen by the people of Pingxi Palace. 。This is the poorest part of the city, and the people from Pingxi Royal Manor don't like it. That's why people can sit outside their doors washing clothes in broad daylight! We're not completely without money, and we could afford a better place to live if we wanted to, but we're just trying to avoid trouble. 。"

Ye Wen listened, stunned. He didn't like young unmarried women, he liked wives No, it wasn't just that he liked wives, the older ones seemed to like... " 。I haven't heard Ah Xiang's age range, from fifteen to fifty-five! She was very puzzled, "How old is King Pingxi this year"Ah Xiang thought for a moment, "He's not yet forty" 。"Less than forty can swallow fifty-five" She was dumbfounded, what kind of pervert would that be "So he's a man-eating tiger, as long as they are married, especially those couples with a very good relationship, as long as he sees them, they can't escape his clutches." 。Those servants in their household were willing to cater to them and often caught people on the street. 。"Seize people directly" Ye Wenyan heard and frowned, "What about the government" A Xiangniang smiled wryly, "Now the government doesn't know if it cares or not, anyway, the magistrate twenty years ago didn't care." 。saw Ye Chulian, he had to respectfully address her as Wu Jie (fifth older sister). And there was also Ye Feizhou, who was practically an ancestor! How come every member of the Ye family in this gener...
