NOVPUBBecause of this, the name Wen Suxi Rou eventually spread across this land, but that’s a story for another time.
Shen Roujia didn’t encounter any turmoil here; instead, she found this way of life to be quite peaceful.
However, Shen Roujia was also very clear-headed, knowing that this calm wasn’t true peace. It was simply because the so-called crises had not yet arrived.
Shen Roujia’s serene demeanor made everyone lower their guard. Even the Dayue woman, who had just met Shen Roujia, thought she was a simple and pure girl.
Yet, during her interactions with this woman, Shen Roujia discovered that she was indeed a pitiful soul.
Her name was Ai Yigu, a woman sent by the Dayue. She was Shu Ran’s half-sister from a different mother. After their father passed away, Shu Ran’s mother, the main wife, despised Ai Yigu’s mother and had her given to the soldiers as a reward.
Ai Yigu never saw her mother again and was later sent to Wen Surong’s household as an unofficial wife.
Wen Surong knew that Ai Yigu was only a few years older than Shen Roujia, so he never touched her.
Upon hearing about her tragic fate, Shen Roujia felt even more sympathy for this woman.
“Ai Yigu, is there any chance you could find someone you love and leave this land?”
Ai Yigu shook her head, “I’ve never considered such a thing. Now that I belong to the Wen family, I must remain loyal to my lord.”
Shen Roujia found their blind devotion a bit strange.
