Chapter 5: Chaotic Times亂世

The answer was no. Beautiful women faced peril during these turbulent times. My aunt's extraordinary beauty and aloof pride had offended some people. Those same people began to make their move with the Cui family's fall.

答案是否定的，亂世佳人雨打萍，姑姑的盛世美顏，姑姑的清高孤傲曾經就得罪了一些人。

現在崔家倒了，有些人就開始動彈了。

One day, dozens of sinister men stormed my courtyard, demanding to see my aunt, Butterfly.

一日，幾十個兇神惡煞的人打進了我的院子，開口就要尋我的姑姑崔蝶。

"Where is Butterfly Speak up!"

“崔蝶在哪裏，說？”

"You're looking for my aunt Unfortunately, she left long ago." My maid, disguised as me with delicate makeup, responded while I deliberately made myself unrecognizable.

“你要找我姑姑？可惜我姑姑早就離開了。”心兒梳着精致的妝容，冒充我道，而我特意醜化了自己的妝容。

"You're Cui Yu It is a surprise that the beauty of Butterfly, a renowned figure in the Cui family, attracts global admiration. Yet, another enchanting beauty within the family rivals her in grace and allure. Butterfly is gone, but you'll do just fine!" The leader revealed a wicked smile.

“你是崔玉？沒有想到崔大美人崔蝶的美貌揚名天下，崔家還藏着一個美貌不輸于崔蝶的小沒人。崔蝶不在，你崔玉也可以！”那個頭兒漏出了邪惡的微笑。

A beautiful young lady without her powerful family's protection was like a fish on a chopping block.

貌美如花的小姐，沒了龐大家族的庇護，就是人為刀俎，我為魚肉。

The bandit-like warlord's family, now wealthy, had set their sights on my beautiful aunt. With her gone, how could Cui Yu, the younger daughter of the Cui family, escape their intentions to force her into becoming a concubine

強盜般的軍閥世家暴發富看上了天香國色的姑姑，姑姑離開了，可是作為她，崔家的小小姐崔玉又該如何逃生呢？他們要強逼着她，要拉着去做小妾。

What was her status Whose daughter was she

她是什麽樣的身份？她是什麽樣的人家的女兒？

It was a classic case of a fallen tiger being bullied by dogs. A fallen phoenix is worse than a chicken. Fortunately, Her maid risked her life by impersonating her, allowing her to escape.

真是虎落平陽被犬欺，落架的鳳凰不如雞。也幸虧婢女心兒冒着生命危險冒充成她，才讓她有機會逃脫。

"You want to marry me Fine, but at least there should be a wedding ceremony, right"

“你想要娶我？也可以，但是至少也應該有個婚禮吧？”

"A wedding What's the point of all that fuss It's a waste of time, my dear. Don't you know a moment of love is worth a thousand gold"

“婚禮？折騰這麽多做什麽？白白浪費了時光，小美人可知春宵一刻值千金？”

He was joking, of course. They had no intention of holding a proper wedding. They weren't foolish enough to publicly marry a woman they had forcibly taken as a concubine. They knew the Cui family was powerful, even if they didn't fully understand the extent of it.

開什麽玩笑，強搶民女納妾還敢大張旗鼓來迎娶，辦婚禮，他可沒有這麽傻，更何況這不是一般人家的女兒，這是崔家的小女兒崔玉，這崔家有多厲害，他們這些常年在京城的地頭蛇就算不知，也聽得幾分。

"You... at least let me change my clothes and put on bridal makeup, alright"

“你....那至少讓我化個裝，換身新嫁娘的衣服總可以了吧？”

They agreed, and I seized this opportunity to plan my escape and seek help.

換來了同意，而我就利用這化妝換衣的時刻要想盡辦法離開，去求救，去逃生。

"hang in there. Trust me, I'll find a way to save you," I whispered into her ear.

“心兒，堅持住，相信我，我一定會想辦法來救你。”我悄聲和心兒耳語道。

"Miss, don't worry about me, just escape! Save yourself, and if you get the chance, avenge me!"

“小姐，不要管我，你快逃吧!保全自己，若有機會，為我報仇！”
