Si Nier was not particularly striking in appearance, so the trafficker sold her to a wealthy household in Yongzhou as a maid. Originally, this was not a bad situation, at least she wouldn't starve to death, but the household had many people and many rules. Young Si Nier, with no connections and coming from the wild, could only be the lowest-ranking fire-tending maid.
However, the infighting within the household was so intense that somehow it spread to the kitchen, and Si Nier, confused, was pushed out as the scapegoat. Being young and timid, she could never commit the wicked deed of poisoning someone. Nevertheless, to quell the situation, the family had her beaten with ten boards and sold her off.
A six-year-old child, after being beaten with ten boards, almost lost half her life. Barely recovering, she was immediately sold by the trafficker to another. After being passed around five or six times, Si Nier was brought to Jing City by the trafficker and sold to a textile mill.
