Chapter 31 Purchasing People [3], Part 1
*I have decided to separate chapters into two parts and do my best to translate a chapter part a day!
*“Xiaojie” (capitalized) is a proper noun, referring to someone specifically
“xiaojie” (lower-case) is a common noun, referring generally]
She was, after all, once the daughter of an official’s family . She had seen fighting between her father’s wives and concubines before .
Towards her stepmother, this xiaojie was considered to be polite . She only asked herself to compete for favor and not to harm her stepmother .
Of course she needed to fight for favor . Even if this xiaojie did not order her to, she would still give it her all . Only with the man’s love and doting would you have a leg to stand on in the house . Finally, she had to find ways to give birth to a son . That was what she could rely on for life .
Shui YouLian sat in the carriage, thinking about life in the future, at times looking forward to it and at times apprehensive, excited, and nervous .
No matter what, she was no longer a lowly geisha . Even if she was only the yiniang of a fourth-ranked official, it was still better than being a geisha .
Zi You looked at Shui YouLian’s bright eyes and revealed a cold smile .
Wang Yiping, the gift for Mu Ying Rui on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, would make you painful enough to crave death!
The horse galloped along . They soon arrived at Great Yan’s Jingdu’s Yue Cheng, the largest slave market .
Zi You took a look and couldn’t help but be depressed . It really was a hell on earth .

Males and females, old and young, all ragged, were mostly sluggish and desperate . They were all like living dead .
Only a few innocent children cried and were noisy . They didn’t know yet their futures would no longer be innocent or carefree .
The four maidservants, who did not know why their Xiaojie wanted to come here and see the slaves’ miserable conditions, were feeling empathetic . Only Zi You expressionlessly walked towards some eight- to twelve-year-old female slaves and examined carefully .
Chapter 31 Purchasing People [3] Part 2
A thirty-seven or thirty-eight-year-old man was selling these female slaves .
Seeing Zi You wearing Great Yan’s most expensive rainbow-colored brocade dress and a veil, even if he couldn’t see below her eyes, that pair of crystal clear, deep amethyst eyes, deeper than clear springs, along with her calm and collected demeanor all left a deep impression on him .

He unconsciously stared at Zi You, astonished . What beautiful eyes . Just looking at them was enough to hook your soul away . If her whole face was seen, what kind of heart-stopping beauty would be revealed?
It seemed that she wasn’t old, not yet an adult . But she already had such extraordinary grace and charm . This xiaojie was not simple .
Even grown men here would be shocked, but this little xiaojie didn’t even wrinkle her eyebrows .
How could this slave dealer know that Zi You had been reborn?
After her previous life’s extremely brutal and tragic experiences, Zi You’s heart was a pool of stagnant water, difficult to stir up any waves .
The fates of the people here were tragic . But were they as tragic as her previous life? The dignified General’s legitimate granddaughter ended up being murdered by her husband and best friend .

Looking at Zi You’s elegance, the slave dealer presumed she was of nobility . The rainbow-colored brocade was a foreign tribute . Only royalty and the families of those high-ranking officials were allowed to wear it .
The slave dealer saw that Zi You was busily looking and not minding the slaves being filthy, letting them stand up and walk to and fro in front of her . Consequently, he couldn’t help himself and said with a flattering smile, “These slaves are not bad . They were originally officials’ families’ xiaojies . After a few years, they would definitely become good helpers for Xiaojie . ” Zi You ignored him . She carefully examined the slaves’ bone structure . She wanted female warriors who could fight on the battlefield, not average maidservants .
