Quick Wear: I've never been a good person

Chapter 740: The Concubine’s Daughter Who Was Killed in Marriage (7)

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone!

But you also have to promise me that if the lady comes to pick a fight with you again, you will fight back directly.

Then bring your brother to see me, but don’t be soft-hearted and make me worry.”

"Don't worry, your aunt is not a fool."

At the return banquet at noon, Shuangshuang said it directly in front of Jing'an Bo.

"Madam, since you are reluctant to let Cuilan go, please let her stay and serve you."

Shuangshuang's words made Li Yulan's face change and she smiled awkwardly.

"No, she's your personal maid, how can she stay?"

Both of them sneered, "Oh, Madam, I'm afraid you forgot.

It's true that she's my personal maid, but I don't have the indenture, so I don't dare use her!"

After hearing what Shuangshuang said, Jing'an Bo couldn't believe his ears.

"What, what's going on?"

How stupid must the lady of the house be to do such a stupid thing?

Isn't this clearly telling the world that you have placed a spy next to someone?

He came to his senses in an instant, fearing that it was his good wife's doing again.

When he thought about what he had asked the housekeeper to investigate about Shuangshuang's dowry, he became even more furious!

He glared at Li Yulan fiercely, "Will it work? If not, I don't mind giving the housekeeper power to Aunt Zhao."

Li Yulan's face instantly lost all color, but she still tried to save face.

"Why are you talking nonsense, kid?

My mother simply forgot, how could she possibly have blocked her indenture?"

Then he quickly gave instructions to the lady in charge beside him.

"Go and give Cui Liu's indenture to your fourth daughter, so that she won't be accused of being too harsh on her as her legal mother.

Cuilan originally thought that since she had been exposed, the eldest lady would keep her.

But unexpectedly, she would actually give the indenture contract to Shuangshuang.

Thinking of Shuangshuang's previous warning, he was so scared that his face turned pale and he suddenly knelt down with a thud.

"Madam, please leave this servant to serve you!"

The eldest lady was so angry that her veins were popping out. Didn't her kneeling prove that she was her own?

He glanced at the unhappy Jing'an Earl and smiled with gritted teeth.

“What nonsense are you talking about?

Your fourth girl is the most kindhearted and will definitely treat you well.

You must be loyal to her from now on, understand?"

Shuangshuang didn't want the indenture contract. Cuilan played an indispensable role in the original owner's miserable fate.

Now that I don't want her anymore, the ending that awaits her will definitely not be good!

When leaving Jing'an Earl's Mansion, Jing'an Earl handed Shuangshuang a small mahogany box.

"Child, I'm sorry for what happened before.

Here are ten thousand taels of silver, which I will give you as compensation. I hope you can put aside the past grudges."

They both scanned with their spiritual sense and found the number correct, so they took it with peace of mind.

After returning home, both sides asked Xiaojuzi to find a way to leave the house on his own.

There's nothing we can do. I don't know what's wrong with Guo Yixuan.

Ever since returning home, he would come to hang around Shuangshuang from time to time, and occasionally there would be a look of heartache in his eyes.

Seeing this, Shuangshuang wished that he would disappear from her sight immediately.

Little Orange offered his opinion, "Here, unless you're attending a banquet or a Dharma Assembly, there's not much chance to go out."

Shuangshuang touched her chin and thought seriously. It is true that attending a banquet can allow one to meet men of high status.

So, let Xiaojuzi find out for herself which banquets in the capital city she can attend next.

Little Orange quickly responded, "The Princess's Mansion will hold a lotus viewing banquet in a month. I'm not sure if Lady Pingyang will let you go."

Shuangshuang carefully searched her memory and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

However, she had not yet impressed Guo Yixuan at that time, and because she was a concubine's daughter and her dowry was so meager, she was not recognized by the wife of the Marquis of Qingyang at all.

It was naturally impossible to take her out to attend such an important banquet.

Later, the girls from the Marquis' Mansion came back and were talking about it in whispers that a distinguished guest had come to the Princess' Mansion.

Although they didn't know who it was, anyone who could receive such warm hospitality from the eldest princess must definitely have a high status.

Shuangshuang decided that if the wife of the Marquis of Qingyang did not take her with her this time, she would take the initiative.

However, perhaps because of Shuangshuang's strength this time, the Marquis's wife did not look down on her like the original owner did.

Soon the Marquis' Mansion received an invitation from the eldest princess. The next day, the housekeeper beside the Marquis' wife came to tell Shuangshuang that several ladies and girls would go to Nishang Pavilion the next day.

The next day, Shuangshuang arrived at the Marquis's courtyard early to meet up with the others.

The ladies and girls, in several carriages, headed straight for Nishang Pavilion.

Each person picked two patterns and then went to the jewelry store next door to choose matching jewelry.

It's so hard to go out, so it's impossible to go back so soon after seeing all these.

Mrs. Hou was also in high spirits and generously invited everyone to have dinner at Hongyun Tower.

Hongyunlou is famous in the whole capital for its delicious dishes and high prices.

With such a large group of people, they definitely couldn't afford a meal without fifty taels of silver.

As a result, as soon as I got off the car, I saw a filial daughter who sold herself to bury her father kneeling opposite the restaurant and crying.

I don’t know what’s going on. Even though we have lived in so many worlds, Shuangshuang rarely encounters this kind of thing.

So I was quite surprised when I saw it at first, and I took a closer look at the corpse on the ground.

A few girls looked at the opposite side curiously, but did not make any unnecessary movements. They went upstairs and found a private room to sit down.

The window was facing the woman who sold herself to bury her father, so several girls gathered by the window to watch the fun before the food was served.

A man with a big belly appeared in front of the corpse in a nonchalant manner.

The pair of tiny mouse eyes didn't even look at the corpse covered by the sack on the ground. He stretched out the folding fan in his hand in a self-conscious manner, lifted the girl's chin, and said with heartache.

"What a pretty little face."

Then he threw out four silver ingots weighing 4 taels each in front of the girl.

"Alright, get up and follow me. I'll send someone to bury your father."

Some vendors nearby were whispering to each other.

"Finally, someone bought the girl from the original owner."

"Yeah, I've been kneeling here for three days, so no one should care."

But the girl only glanced at the young master and kowtowed to him quickly.

"Thank you very much for the reward, Master!

I only ask that you give me three years to finish my mourning for my father before I can serve you."

"Oh, three years? After three years, you won't even know where you are. How can I find you?

Stop talking nonsense, get up and follow me!"

"Master, please have mercy on me, I cannot be unfilial!

If anything happens to me during these three years, I will repay the young master's kindness by tying the knot with a grass and holding a ring in my next life."

The dandy boy didn't buy the girl's talk, "What are you talking about in the next life? You can repay me in this life.

Don't worry, when you become my eighteenth concubine, you will enjoy endless wealth and glory."
