After that, she said something to her mother, and even her mother's expression suddenly changed. Soon after, they started selling off and hurriedly packed up their things, and it was only three years later that Xu Ruo realized that the enemy had already broken through the defense of the city, and was now heading into the city.

That day, when his father came back, his anxious expression was because he had seen a large number of enemy troops heading towards the city, and the villages outside the city were bound to suffer first. That was the reason why his father and mother were in such a hurry and had always heard that the enemy troops would kill and plunder after breaking the city walls, committing all sorts of crimes.

That day, Xu Ruo left the village that she had lived in for five years under her father's lead. The last scene she remembered was her village's raging fire and endless screams. This scene had become a nightmare that she would never be able to forget for the next fifteen years.

Ever since she had left the village, all that remained was pain.

His father had a relative within the imperial city, but they had always been at odds. Thus, over the years, even though he was starving, he had refused to seek help from his relative within the imperial city. But now, they had no way to continue living and could only rely on this relative of theirs. It was just that the young Xu Ruo didn't think that this would be the beginning of her nightmare.

They walked all over the place, escaping from the chaos of war along the way. Finally, after a month, they found a relative in the capital. At that time, the young Xu Ruo only felt that there was actually such a fine house in this world. This was simply a place where immortals lived. However, when she looked at her father, she realized that her father, who had always been incredibly handsome in her eyes, had now instantly aged by several tens of years. There were even some indescribable emotions in his eyes.

The young Xu Ruo naturally didn't know that the emotion in her father's eyes was despair, so she had always felt that her father was too tired, which was why he had such a look in his eyes. However, she didn't know where the despair in her father's eyes came from until she stayed with her relatives.

As she stepped through the gate of her relatives' house, Xu Ruo shuddered and instinctively held her mother's hand. This place no longer seemed to be as delicate as it was before, but now she felt that it was extremely gloomy here, even the female servants who cleaned the house seemed to only know how to do their own things, like a dead person who only knew how to do their own things. It was only later that she realized that in this house, she had to do her own work meticulously.

When she saw her father's relative, Xu Ruo saw the look of contempt in his eyes when he saw her, and also the look she gave out. When she saw her father's relative, Xu Ruo saw the look of contempt in his eyes when she saw her father, and also the look she gave off when she saw her mother.

If one could say that her father's image at that time was magnificent in her eyes, then now, he no longer had any feelings for her father. If it wasn't for his silence, she and her mother would not have ended up in such a sorry state.

Their relatives had three children, a boy and two girls, the boy was usually forced by his mother to learn martial arts every day and didn't have the time to look for trouble with her, but the two girls were different. They were pampered all day and did things on their own, so Xu Ruo who just entered the house became the target of the two girls' teasing.

Sometimes she would dirty the clothes she had just washed, sometimes she would be coaxed into the woodshed and locked up for a day and a night, and sometimes she would be used as a target for the boy. Seeing how she was beaten up and beaten up by the boy's summoning technique, they were extremely excited, as if they had obtained some sort of benefit.

Such things happened almost every day, and the only consolation of the day was that when she returned to her mother's side, the gentle embrace would always warm her and make her forget the unpleasantness of the day, and she would still feel happy, even if the day were to continue tomorrow.

It was just that in these days, the despair in her father's eyes became more and more intense. Xu Ruo did her best to make her father happy, but she was always scolded harshly by him. Xu Ruo had always thought that it was because she didn't do well that her father was so angry. At such a young age, she had buried these thoughts deep within her heart and never told anyone else about them.

She had originally thought that her life would end in this way, but she didn't expect that a matter that she had inadvertently broken would completely destroy the tranquility on the surface. And from this point on, Xu Ruo no longer had any trust in the human heart.

On this day, Xu Ruo finished the work she was doing, and today, she was bullied again. But when she thought of her mother's embrace, all the grievances in her heart disappeared, so after tidying up everything, she walked towards the small courtyard that her family lived in, and her relatives left them a small courtyard to live in, which was also the only place where Xu Ruo could thank him.

"Mother." Xu Ruo who walked into the yard shouted, usually at this time, her mother had already finished doing the tasks arranged for her by the wife of her relatives, so every day when she came back, as long as she called out from the yard, her mother would come out of the kitchen to welcome her. But today, her mother wasn't present in the courtyard.

She searched the entire yard, searching almost every room, but there was no sign of her mother. Just as she was wondering where her mother had gone, she heard a tearing sound, mixed with her mother's scolding. She heard the noise and looked for the room. At the door, she heard the sound she wanted to forget most of her life.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, such smooth skin does such menial work every day. I am truly feeling wronged." This was the voice of her relative. Even in her young age, she sounded extremely wretched.

"Let go." His mother kept rejecting his touch. However, how could her delicate body be able to push aside a man's forceful tug? Thus, his mother's rejection became an expression of rejection and welcome in his eyes.

"Beauty, why are you following my distant relative? Come and follow me, I can give you what he can't give. "As long as you give me your men." After hearing his relatives' obscenities, people would feel that they couldn't bear to listen to them. However, he continued to speak. Even Xu Ruo at that time clearly knew that her mother had been humiliated.
