The little maid had heard from trainers that there were some officials or ladies from the wealthy families who, once sold into the hands of official matchmakers,
would be treated like animals, regardless of their gender. This kind of transaction was also protected by law.
Sold into a wealthy family to serve as slaves or laborers was one thing; being sold into a filthy place was another, neither women nor men could escape the misery.
The little maid feared this, and if she were to be sold again, she wouldn't be so lucky. She didn't know how tragic her fate would be, but she didn't want it!
Mrs. Lai's hand hurt from the continuous slapping, yet she persisted, but the person driving the ox cart ahead of them spoke out to stop her.
"Enough, enough, what's the point of hitting a little maid? Aren't you tired from all this today? You said you were dizzy earlier, and now you're energetic?"
