Her face bore a trace of sorrow, tears sliding down, "In my family, I only have one brother and too many sisters. Five years ago, Father and Mother sold me to the Fang Mansion. The second young Master may not know, but Rong'er started in the Fang Mansion as a servant, bound by a death contract for life. I was clever enough to be liked by Miss Fang, and she took pity on me and changed my deed of sale to a five-year living contract. Now that the five years are up, upon returning home, Father and Mother still see me as a loss-making good, and my elder brother, who has accumulated a debt of twenty taels of silver, dragged me to pay off his debts. If not for the second young Master's help, I would have already fallen into a pit of fire..."
Xiao Yishan listened and, seeing her sorrowful and beautiful countenance, a beautiful woman with tears falling, felt especially sympathetic, and believed her somewhat.
