Fang Jinxin only felt a wave of dizziness. After she reopened her eyes, she found herself back to the site of confiscation again. The prison matron that was shaking her said angrily when she found her open her eyes,”Lord Chen was nice enough to let you leave, but you don’t take it,huh? Why? You want to stay here and wait to be beat to death by the crowd that break in after? ”

　　While saying this, the matron stared at her neck once more. Her eyes were full of contempt. She whispered,”Shouldn’t a pearl in a palm be kind and intelligent? Didn’t she know that committing suicide during confiscation will only lead to a more severe sin? Such kind of selfish and cold-blood woman should really die if the implication for her family was considered. ”

　　Jinxin was confused by her first sentence. She did not notice the left. “the crowd that break in? ”How did the confiscation by the court relate with the citizens? Jinxin found herself more confused on the condition. Now she had no one to inquire. So she could only stood up shakily,bowed and thanked the matron, then let her pull her to walk outward.

　　Hardly had she get out of the door when she saw the pulled-up eye man near her and stretched out his hands to touch her face,”Being able to have your family spare such efforts to help you out, you must be a favourite, huh? Come on.If you flatter me, I can help talk to the official-make a lie that you want to be my concubine, then you can escape from the misery of being escorted to the capital, isn’t it? ”

　　Jinxin thought about the scene just now, hummed in her heart. But she couldn’t explain, so she could just hide behind the matron’s back instinctively. The man changed his look immediately and was about to catch her with his eyes widely staring but he was pushed away by the matron who said angrily,”These people are expensive, one hundred taels of silver at least. With this money, you can buy a pile of bed-warming girls already. You can even touch the phoenix curtain of Madam Tang, why do you always look at this girl? ”

　　The pulled-up eye was “Refusing an innocent miss from a decent family and coveting a bitchy hooker. Grandma Yan, who are you despising?”

　　“Even if you like her, you have to have the qualification. With your shabby copper coins, why do you dare to think about getting miss?”The matron scorned.

　　The argument of two people alerted a muscle man in a headscarf. He came near and scolded the pulled-up eye.

　　“Come on, don’t have evil thoughts any longer. If you really fall in love with a girl, ask Xu, the Assistant Magistrate a favor, the assignment of escorting her to the capital this time is yours. Isn’t it better than messing around here? ”

　　The pulled-up eye heard about this and knew what he meant immediately: Being confiscated just now, these women must still hold their self-pride. If they make a scene like committing suicide or what, it will definitely encumber them. Only when they taste the hardship during the escort will they understand they are not princesses any more now. Instead, they are prisoners. Then, it is even possible that she would come to me herself without showing a signal. But, he just wants to take advantage of her. On really marrying such a princess, he has no ball, to be honest. Firstly, there is still a female tiger in his house.

　　So he mocked and said,”Brother, you know my wife is going to be in labor these days. You see, I can’t resist the desire so I had this idea. Brother is right. I should listen to you.”

　　After saying this, he cupped his hands towards the man in headscarf and pushed Jinxin to the direction of door, with curse in his mouth,”Pretending to be this innocent facade, who are you trying to fool?”

　　Jinxin was pushed to stagger. When she came to the gate, Fang family were already there. The womenfolk of a family were the majority. Men were few, and the servants were not many, either. Seeing her come out, no one paid attention to her. There was not even a glance at her.

　　From the discussions among the yamen runners, Jinxin knew that except the masters had to be taken to the capital for sale to warn deter the rest, the servants were free to be redeemed. So as long as the servants had some face or money, they were basically ransomed.

　　Those who stayed behind, aside from those who had been with the Fang family since childhood and had emotional ties, were all without money and could only follow. Since the main household was mostly composed of female relatives, the slaves were also predominantly female, with men being naturally scarce.

　　Fang Jinxin was deep in thought when she saw a bailiff approaching with several long ropes in hand. When he reached the women's section, he handed one rope to the prison matron and gave her some instructions. The matron then came over, directed the women to line up, and tied the ropes around their waists, one after another, like Zongzi tied together in a string.

　　Just as Fang Jinxin was puzzling over this mysterious operation, she heard a woman wearing a brown headscarf and looking to be in her thirties or forties say with a bitter smile, "Auntie, look at us. Even just walking a few yards in the usual days requires us to stop and catch our breath, and to be supported by a servant girl. How can we run away? And they're even tied up with ropes. Isn't this just delaying our journey?"

　　The prison guard rolled her eyes and said expressionlessly, "It's not that I'm afraid you'll escape, it's that I'm afraid you'll try to commit suicide." As she spoke, her gaze flickered towards Fang Jinxin as if by accident.

　　Reflecting on the scene that had just flashed through her mind, Fang Jinxin couldn't recall how the original body had committed suicide, but she also couldn't confidently claim that the original body hadn't committed suicide. She had no choice but to continue pretending to be delicate and act as if she hadn't heard. However, she couldn't resist the hateful stares directed at her from the crowd, followed by a familiar voice.

　　"The old lady was right. You are a selfish, self-centered, heartless little bitch!"

　　Fang Jinxin recognized the voice as that of her original body's biological mother, Aunt Luo, the sixth concubine of Mr. Fang. She had originally lived with Mr. Fang in the capital, but returned to her hometown for the sake of her original body's marriage. Thinking back, her original body had thought that having a biological mother around meant that the old lady and the mistress would never allow her to change her marriage partner. Little did she know that this biological mother would be the one providing divine assistance.

　　Fang Jinxin raised her eyebrows slightly. It seemed that she really didn't have a strong bond with her mother. In the modern world, she was abandoned by her biological mother and barely managed to finish college with the help of teachers and university grants.

　　I never expected to be transported to another world, yet still end up with the fate of being abandoned by my own mother. But it's alright. Sometimes, being free from worries can also be considered a kind of luck, isn't it? At least when she wants to find a way out for herself, she doesn't have to worry about someone dragging her down or implicating her, right?

　　Thinking, Fang Jinxin subconsciously placed her hand on her neck. However, after a few strokes, she became suspicious. She looked around, but there was no water and no mirror, so she couldn't see the marks on her neck.

　　But just like that, she unthinkingly accepted the idea of suicide. Not to mention the ostracism she would face from her family along the way, if things went badly, she might even be deliberately sold into a brothel in the capital city because of this reason.

　　Anyway, she had to fight for herself. What if her speculation was right? Thinking of this, Fang Jinxin took a step towards the queue, looked at the prison guard, and said with righteousness and firmness, "I didn't commit suicide."

　　"Never committed suicide?" the prison guard sneered. "Do you think my two eyes are just for show, and I can't see the marks on your neck?" With that, the prison guard grabbed Fang Jinxin's hand and called out to the nearby guard with a slingshot eye, "Luan Er, go inside and find a mirror so Miss Fang can take a good look and see if she really committed suicide."

　　As soon as the words fell, the pulled-up eye responded with an affirmative sound and strode into the mansion. In a short while, he emerged with a bronze mirror and thrust it towards Fang Jinxin, not forgetting to hurl obscene remarks at her: "Little lady, you've never experienced the world. Do you think this is a sign of a man's affection? Would you like your brother to show you some affection, so that you can compare and distinguish it more clearly?"
