In ancient times, a rich man was kind and charitable, and everyone praised him, but a widow was desperate to go to the rich man's house to be a servant, but the rich man took a fancy to him and accepted him as a concubine. There is a fortune teller in Wangjiawan, Shaanxi, known as Liu Banxian! His wife unfortunately died young, leaving him with only a little daughter named Lotus. When the lotus was 12 years old, Liu Banxian suddenly disappeared because of an accident, and the lotus became an orphan. What to do if she has no money, she can only choose to sell her body to bury her father. A shopkeeper bought her as a child daughter-in-law, so that when her son became an adult, the two would get married. Soon, both of them reached marriageable age, but less than half a month after marriage, the son of the king's shopkeeper contracted a vicious disease and died. 
The shopkeeper Wang thought that the lotus was a broom star, and he killed his parents, and now he killed his son, so he drove the lotus out in a fit of anger. But at this time, the lotus was already pregnant, desperate, and could only hide in a broken temple on the mountain. There is a salesman named Chen Si, who often sends some daily necessities and clothes to the lotus, which helps her a lot. Time passed quickly, and the lotus gave birth to a little girl, but the adults were not nutritious, and the child had no milk to drink, so she decided to find a place to shelter from the wind and rain. So, under the introduction of a well-wisher, Lotus came to the house of a local rich man surnamed Li and became a servant. I heard that this rich man Li is a good man, who is always kind and charitable, and never exploits his subordinates. Lotus has been working in the house for more than a month, it is really good, the food is good, the clothes are warm, although the place where the residence is not big, but it is enough to shelter from the wind and rain, and the child is getting more and more white and fat. One day, Lotus was washing dishes in the kitchen, and suddenly, I heard many people shouting outside, which was very noisy. 
She was about to push the door and go out to check, when Granny Hu, who was doing the work with her, came in and closed the door, saying, don't go out, be careful of the board. Seeing Granny Hu's panicked appearance, Lotus asked, Mother-in-law, what's going on outside? After Granny Hu drank a bowl of cold water, she said that the little concubine that the rich man Li married a few days ago was crazy, wielding a knife indiscriminately, and stabbing herself, bleeding nonstop, and it is estimated that she will not live long. Through the window, Lotus saw a woman with long hair, covered in blood, shouting, Old thief Yao, you will be punished, and fainted. When the rich man saw that the woman had fainted to death, he shouted to the people below, this woman was carrying me behind her back, having a private meeting with a man, and she wanted to stab me when I was caught. Then he called for someone, tied the mad woman with hemp rope, wrapped her in a mat, and threw her into the dry well in the backyard. The lotus smacked her tongue, but she didn't expect that Rich Man Li still had this side Granny Hu sighed, this Rich Lord Li seems to have the life of a concubine, and all the concubines who are accepted will suddenly die in a short time, and there are only a handful of them who can live for more than half a year. Lotus thought to herself, is it so scary? Granny Hu whispered again, you don't know, the dead people were tied up and thrown into the dry well in the backyard. No wonder basically no one dares to go to this backyard. Late one night, Lotus was hiding in the kitchen to feed the child, and suddenly, I heard a voice outside the door, did Liu Xiucai's lady get it? The lotus recognized this voice, it was the voice of the rich man Li. No, that lady had a strong temperament and committed suicide by jumping into the river. Tell you to get me a beauty back within three days, otherwise I will not be spared. Suddenly, the child of the lotus flower began to cry, and the rich man Li shouted, who is it? 
Rich Man Li broke into the door directly. Lotus hurriedly tidied up her clothes and whispered, Master, I am breastfeeding my daughter here, and I have no intention of eavesdropping on your conversation, I didn't hear anything. The rich man Li said, why haven't I seen you? Lotus replied, I am the servant of the eldest young master, and the rich man Li nodded and left. Unexpectedly, the next day, before dawn, several old mothers came to Lotus's room and woke Lotus up without saying a word. Tidy up and dress her up, at this time, Granny Hu walked in and said, pity you, Rich Man Li has taken a fancy to you and wants to take you as a concubine! So how is this good? The lotus flower was overwhelmed with anxiety. Suddenly, she found that her daughter at the bedside was gone, and she cried, where is my daughter? But no one paid attention to her. At night, the cave room was full of candles, and the rich man Li was drunk and came to the cave room. After seeing the rich man Li come in, Lotus hurriedly lifted his head cloth and knelt on the ground and begged, Li Dashan, please let me go, I am a widow and a low-ranking person. Who knows, the rich man Li smiled and said, the woman I fancy can't escape from my palm, you die. The lotus flower was furious, I didn't expect you to be inconsistent, you are a scum with a human face and a beast's heart! The rich man Li ignored it, threw down the lotus flower, and took out a whip to whip her. It turned out that many years ago, the rich man Li went out once and encountered robbers, although he escaped, he was injured and fell into the problem of not having sex. Since then, his temperament has changed drastically, and on the surface he pretends to be a good man who is willing to give, but in private, he is ruthless, vicious, suspicious and perverted. Therefore, all the concubines he married were abused to death by him. Suddenly, a team of officials suddenly kicked open the door, and the rich man Li was arrested on the spot. Subsequently, Chen Si rescued the lotus flower with bruises all over his body. The officials also rescued the lotus daughter who was thrown away by the rich man Li. More than a dozen bones were dug up from dry wells in the backyard. The prefect ordered all the family property to be confiscated. Li Caizhu was sentenced to beheading, and his wife and son were sentenced to exile. After the lotus woke up, she realized that it was Chen Si who saved herself. It turned out that when Chen Si rushed back from out of town and wanted to deliver something to the lotus, he heard that he had entered the Li Mansion as a servant. At that time, Chen Si came to the Li Mansion and learned that the lotus flower was taken as a concubine, so he made the silver and heard that the lotus flower would be in danger. He decisively reported to the official and took care of the official errand, so that he could save the forced lotus in time. Later, Lotus married Chen Si and lived a happy life.
