Chapter 841: Why Did Humanity Become Like This

He slightly bent down and called out, "Your Highness, Prince Chen!" 。People suddenly understood, it was the Fourth Prince Quan Qing who had just returned from abroad and painted this. 。The prince, w...Ye Wen thought that Ah Xiang's mother still hadn't revealed the whole story. If it was only because the current Prince of Pingxi had this hobby, she felt that Ah Xiang's family, as ordinary people, shouldn't be so empathetic. 。Unless their family was also a victim of persecution, only then could such long-lasting anger of twenty years be ignited. 。She wanted to ask again, but she felt that this might be Ah Xiang's privacy. It wasn't good to ask rashly, so she held back. 。Though Ah Xiang's words had reached this point, even if Ye Wen remained silent, there were still some things she wanted to continue. 。"The doctor needn't be surprised by our family's attitude towards Prince Pingxi, because in all of this, our family are the victims." 。You've also met my daughter, Ah Xiang. Have you noticed that she doesn't resemble her father at all 。If it weren't for the fact that she resembles me so much, these years our family of three would have been suspected and gossiped about even in a remote village. 。But she was like me, yet not entirely like me. She had half her face that resembled her biological father. 。"Ye Wen understood. Axiang was the child of King Pingxi." 。Ah Xiang was still going on, "These years I've been tormented by illness and pain, growing increasingly old and frail. My appearance is truly dreadful..." 。But before I got sick, my face was still somewhat recognizable. 。I've known Ah Xiang's father since we were young. Our families both lived on the same street. He is three years older than me. When I learned to walk, he would take me to play with him. 。After growing up, she married him without any hesitation. Both families were very happy and felt that it was a match made in heaven, knowing each other well. 。But unexpectedly, we had only been married for less than half a year, and before I could even conceive his child, the Prince of Pingxi saw me on the street and forcibly took me back to his palace. I've been locked up there for two months now. 。During those two months, both my family and my husband's family went to Pingxi Palace to plead for someone. Even Ah Xiang's father went to the government office to beat drums and cry for injustice. 。Unfortunately, the government cannot interfere with matters of the Duke's Manor. My parents and in-laws have also been driven ill by the Pingxi Wangfu. They were even beaten by the guards at the manor gate. 。None of them survived until I left the palace. The four of them died in succession. 。I was released two months later. When I went back home, Ah Xiang's father held me in his arms. Everyone else at home was gone. From now on, there would only be him and me left. 。At that time, I didn't want to live anymore. I wanted to go down and apologize to my parents-in-law and their parents. I also didn't want to live and make Ah Xiang's father lose face. 。But he watched me day and night, afraid I would do something foolish, and he didn't blame me for this. I was not wrong, it was the King of Pingxi who was inhuman. 。He also said, if I died, he wouldn't want to live either. If I didn't want him to die with me, I had to live well. 。I have no choice but to swallow the bitter pill and continue living. 。If my neighbors saw me again, their eyes would be strange. Those who used to be close with me would now treat me like a dangerous beast, avoiding me at all costs. 。Even children threw mud at me and called me promiscuous, saying I was an unclean woman. 。Of course, there were also those who sympathized with me, just like the family that took good care of Ah Xiang before us. They were very kind to my family until we left Shuicheng. 。When we left, we gave him a few silver coins. 。People leave their hometowns mostly because they can't bear to stay any longer. 。Axiang's father couldn't bear to see me suffer humiliation every day, so he sold both houses and took me to a distant place to make a living. 。But before I had walked far, I discovered that I was pregnant. 。I was panicked at the time because I didn't know who the child belonged to. 。I longed for it to be Ah Xiang's father, but whenever I thought back to those two months at Pingxi Wangfu, I felt it must have been the King of Pingxi. 。I secretly found a doctor and got the pills for an abortion. I was determined to get rid of the baby. 。But Ah Xiang's father found out, he begged me to keep the child, because while I was imprisoned in Pingxi王府, he went to demand my release and was poisoned by the eunuchs, though he survived, he could no longer have children. 。He would raise the child in my womb as his own, just begging me to stay, offering it as hope for the rest of our lives. 。We were heartbroken and eventually decided to keep the child and never tell her the truth. 。"

Ah Xiang cried, covering her face. >>> 。"I was originally a good daughter from a well-off family. My life could have been ordinary and peaceful, but because of one Prince Pingxi, we ended up in this situation." 。Home is not a place I can return to, the resentment lingers and has become an illness. Doctor, you don't know this, but every time I see Ah Xiang’s father taking Ah Xiang out to make a living, I feel particularly sorry for that man. 。It was because of me that not only did he ruin his health, but also his parents died. 。He married me, and in the end, he lost everything, ending up raising his enemies' children. How much pain must he have felt inside! But he never complained, always putting my needs first. 。Such kindness, I'm afraid it would take several lifetimes to repay. 。But if people really have an afterlife, I hope that he and I will never meet again. He should meet a good girl, with her own home, children, and grandchildren to spend his life with. 。I'm so unlucky, I can't burden him again. 。"

Ye Wen didn't know how to comfort him. She could understand that Pingxi Wang, for his own selfish gain, had sent Beiqi's iron ore to Guiyue..." 。After all, it's profitable, and the contact on Yue's side definitely gave him extra perks. 。But she truly couldn't understand why the Duke of Pingxi had brought harm upon the women of Shuicheng. 。Only people with extremely distorted and perverted psyches could commit such a monstrous act. 。What kind of stimulation could a person have received to be twisted to this extent Of course, there are also people who are just perverted for no reason, but with an inherited title and stationed at such a strategically important border fortress, their family's title could be passed down smoothly for three generations, at least the first two generations were good. 。If the previous two generations were good, the family education must not have been too bad. Even if this generation's Prince Pingxi had those hereditary problems of being frivolous and infatuated with pleasure, at most he would just act like a street ruffian or spend his time at brothels. 。Of course, it's also possible to forcibly seize women, but I haven't heard of anyone specifically targeting women for harm. 。Ah Xiang's mother cried for a while, but then she stopped. She didn't shed many tears either. In her own words: “My tears have been spent over the past twenty years; there aren't any left to cry.” 。Actually, there are many women in Shuicheng like me. In the past twenty years, I have been away from my hometown and don't know what has happened. But twenty years ago, every person who was forced to leave their hometown like me... 。Those who died at the gate of Pingxi Wangfu, young and old, have never decreased. 。Some women, however, made other choices. Some acknowledged the reality and resolved to climb high branches, determined to stay in the Prince's mansion as concubines. 。Some people, even after being released, refused to admit that they had been harmed by Prince Pingxi, claiming they were only working.y won't say anything." 。”。The Forbidden Army immediately replied, "Fourth Sister is right, the Emperor has ordered that the palace gates are open to you at any time." 。"No, no, there's nothing else.
