Chapter 165 Amu’s Game

Lin Yu couldn't help but soften her voice: "What's your name?"

The woman smiled and shook her head, looking shy and introverted.

Lan Li said: "Her name is Danfan."

Lin Yu took the initiative and asked: "Is there anything I can do to help? Dan Fan?"

Dan Fan glanced at Lan Li, who said to Lin Yu: "Don't worry about it, just go in."

For some reason, he also looked a little uneasy.

Lin Yu felt a little weird, so she had to follow Lan Li into the tent for the time being, and then couldn't help but frown.

The smell in the tent was a bit strong, a fishy, ​​sour, foul smell mixed with the meaty smell of food, but it was still bearable.

Lan Li took Lin Yu to a corner, and he lowered his voice and spoke to her: "She can't arrange for you."

"why?"

"Because she is a snatched woman, a woman of the defeated, her status in this family is only slightly higher than that of a slave."

"How is my status higher than hers? I am from Datu, and Datu has not been defeated by Beirong's horses? But I am alone here, and I don't have any influence from my natal family behind me?"

"Have you forgotten, you are the maid next to the Yan family." Lan Li said: "The Yan family is a noble person, as noble as a white cloud that is out of reach."

"The person I met before said that the Yan family is a goddess. You said that he hates Da Tu people, but can he accept a Da Tu woman as the wife of his king?"

"The Yan family is the daughter of prophecy. The gods have decreed that she is his daughter who lives in Dadu. If she marries her, the king will be able to conquer the world." Lan Li said seriously: "So although the Yan family is from Dadu, She does not belong to Dadu, because God is the god of the world and naturally rules Dadu. Her soul belongs to Beirong. The king marrying the goddess back from Dadu means that the god promised to give the land of Dadu to the king."

Lin Yu was stunned by this ridiculous statement.

She was convinced that Cang Tao must have tampered with the prophecy, but she did not expect that this prophecy would spread so widely in Beirong, and everyone would believe it to be true.

Thinking about it this way, Cang Tao was so angry with her before that he still insisted on marrying her. Whether it was because of his feelings for her or not, objectively he could win the hearts of the people better.

He may not have wanted to give her such an important status as a "goddess" at first, but just wanted to convince his people that he wanted to marry a foreign woman.

But the Yan family's dignity comes from her husband, while the goddess's dignity comes from the people's belief in the gods.

They appear to be connected, but the identities behind them are completely different.

——Can she take advantage of this and do something to get rid of Cang Tao's influence in Beirong?
Seeing that she didn't speak for a while, Lan Li suddenly knelt in front of her, bowing to the ground in the same way as worshiping the statue. Lin Yu was startled and wanted to help him up: "What are you doing?"

"I should have saluted you when we met," Lan Li lowered his head and refused to get up: "But the king said that he would treat you like an ordinary woman..."

"It doesn't matter, I don't care." Lin Yu kept tugging and tugging: "Get up first."

"I want to ask you to forgive my brother."

"why?"

"My brother... has a bad temper. I can't reveal your identity. He might be disrespectful to you because you are Amu, not Yan..."

"So you were a little distracted and absent-minded all the way, just because you were worried about your brother?"

Lan Li asked in confusion: "What does it mean to be distracted and absent-minded?"

"...Nothing, what will your brother do?"

"Our family used to be very poor. After my grandfather died, all the cattle and sheep in the family were snatched away by uncles. My father and mother died early. My brother said that our family could only afford one wife. He said that we would share the marriage from now on. A wife.”

Lin Yu's face froze.

"I'm very worried..." Lan Li said worriedly: "You are beautiful. So I am worried that my brother wants to share you with me."

Lin Yu: "..."

She asked, "What do you want me to do? If he makes this request of me?"

"Please allow me to announce your identity." Lan Li raised his face and said urgently: "As long as I know how noble you are, my brother will never offend you. We will be more silent than cattle and more docile than sheep."

Lin Yu couldn't pull Lan Li up, so she squatted down with him.She stared into his eyes and asked: "Why do you think it is offensive for him to make such a request? If I were not Yan, but just Amu, would you still find such a request offensive?"

"The Yan family and Amu are different."

"But now, Yan and Amu are the same person." Lin Yu said: "They are both me, and they behave the same, why are they different for us?"

"The Yan family is a goddess, very noble."

"So the behavior is only different based on the identity. The difference in identity is essentially the strength of the power. The Yan family cannot be offended because it represents a power that is stronger than you and stronger than your brother. And Amu seems to You don’t have this right, so your brother has more power than Amu, and you thought Amu couldn’t resist, so you begged me to use the power of the Yan family to resist.”

"...I don't quite understand."

"I just thought of a very interesting game," Lin Yu smiled slightly, "In the eyes of your brother, I am Amu without rights, but in your eyes, I am the Yan family with rights, so why do you come to beg? Should I let him go? Why don't you try to stop your brother?"

Lan Li was confused: "As long as you disclose your identity..."

"No, I will not disclose my identity. I want to live in your home as Amu. If you want to protect your brother and prevent him from committing crimes that offend the Yan family and blaspheme the goddess, then try to treat him with Yan’s attitude towards an ordinary Amu.”

This is the respect that every ordinary Amu is entitled to.

Lan Li could not understand Lin Yu's request, but he understood what she meant: she refused to expose herself and asked Lan Li to act.

At this moment, someone opened the tent door and walked in: "Lan Li! Come back -"

It was a man with a rough voice, but the smile and intimacy in his tone stopped abruptly after seeing the scene in the tent.

"What are you doing? Lan Li?"

Lan Li knelt on the ground, turned around and called out "Brother". He subconsciously wanted to stand up, but then he remembered that Lin Yu had just asked him to treat Amu as the Yan family, so he had to continue kneeling on the ground and asked Lin Yu: " ...Amu, can I stand up?"

Lin Yu stood up and pulled him up too: "Didn't I just want you to stand up?"

She looked at Lan Li's brother and smiled: "I am Amu, and you are Lan Li's brother, right?"

Lan Li's brother looked at Lin Yu, who was standing squarely in the tent, and his brother, who was stiff, and did not ignore her beautiful face.

He stared at her for a while without speaking.

Lin Yu turned to look at Lan Li: "What is your brother's name?"

Lan Li said slowly: "Jiwu."

"Brother Jiwu," Lin Yu patted the scimitar on her waist. She thought that no one would misunderstand the meaning of emphasizing the weapon. If someone ignored this meaning, then she would be polite first and then fight: "I am the maid of the Yan family. Now prepare to live with Lan Li."

Lan Li's worry is just a possibility, Ji Wu may not really do that.However, if he really dared to make that kind of request to Lan Li regardless of her wishes, she would let him know that ordinary Amu who did not have the identity of the Yan family also had another right to defend himself.

Although she had not left Cang Tao's royal tent for half a day, she had already felt how much danger - and discrimination - an ordinary woman without a noble status would face.

Will she be treated well if she pretends to be docile and learns to obey?
No.

The weaker you are, the more you look down upon.

The more you comply, the more people feel that your wishes do not need to be taken into account.

And if you show sharp edges from the beginning, will people be put off?

No.

Lin Yu knew that doing so would also lead to danger, because there would definitely be people who wanted to challenge her and prove their authority by defeating her, and because she dared to resist openly, she would be incurring even more serious humiliation if she failed.

Still, she wanted to try it out.

Because ordinary people can only take the first path, they cannot afford the consequences of failure.

And she also has the status of a "goddess", which gives her a way out to try the second way.

Since you have this condition, why not give it a try?
