Chapter 782: 852: Liu Yi’s mories
For Liu Yi, her childhood was marked by so unspeakable traumas. Had it not been for the kindness of a stranger, she feared she would have starved to death on the streets before even eting her ntor.
Upon her return upon completing her apprenticeship, she recalled the grace she had received and sought information about the benefactor from that year. She knew that the person’s surna was An, and he had a brother nad An Chunliu. However, at that ti, she heard that the two brothers had been sent to The Outside as part of a political marriage alliance, so she, too, traveled to The Outside.
She learned that the man had been demoted to an Official Slave for attempting to escape and had been taken away by governnt officials.
But the man’s brother was still there, having been transferred to the Kechar tribe by the tribal leader Tuoya using a husband exchange sche.
Initially, there was significant friction between Tuoya and Nu Woer. Nu Woer was ambitious and aspired to subjugate all the tribes within these deserts, but Tuoya was unwilling to submit and serve as a puppet under Nu Woer.
Tuoya’s position was perilous, and she initially had no intention of intervening. However, at that ti, she learned that the man’s brother had died, leaving behind only a young daughter.
That was the first ti she saw Tu Ya, a tiny, timid, and pitiable child, bullied by her siblings.
She wanted to take Tu Ya away, but Tuoya was reluctant. Later, in order to create a stable and comfortable life for Tu Ya, she helped Tuoya resist Nu Woer. As a result, her na beca well-known throughout The Outside.
However, after the conflict ended, she visited the Kechar tribe and witnessed Tu Ya being bullied once again. The root of the issue was that Tu Ya’s father, An Chunliu, had been Tuoya’s Favored Husband. Even though he was dead, he still held a significant place in Tuoya’s heart.
Jealousy and resentnt festered among Tuoya’s n, and their attitude affected the children, leading to Tu Ya’s ostracization by her siblings.
Angered by this, she severely punished several n who had secretly instigated the children to bully Tu Ya, and of course, gave Tuoya a stern warning.
Not long afterward, a cascade of news arrived.
Apart from Tu Ya, one after another, Tuoya’s other children died, and her n also succumbed to accidents or diseases.
Liu Yi understood clearly that all this was Tuoya’s doing. Tuoya had recognized her own worth, and so she killed her children and husbands with her own hands, leaving only Tu Ya. By doing so, Tuoya ensured that even if it were rely for the sake of Tu Ya’s influence, Liu Yi would never stand idly by in matters of life and death.
The woman’s stratagems were deeply calculated.
But Liu Yi did not care.
As she had said herself, she was never a good person.
However, the grown-up Tu Ya had been raised all twisted by Tuoya and was no longer the endearing child of yesteryear.
She had Tuoya carve wooden figures to sell in the Golden Triangle, for it was bustling with a never-ending stream of visitors. Many foreigners entered the Golden Triangle, and she hoped to find that man with a dark face and white teeth to repay her debt.
Yet, she waited in vain for the man to appear, and instead, the man’s son ca.
