Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

Butler Qian was very satisfied with the man and was quick to give money. He immediately took out fifty taels of silver and handed it to Li Jian.

Ever since Li Jian saw his niece Li Mengyue for the first time, he knew that this would definitely work out. After all, the biological daughter that his second brother had adopted was so beautiful that he couldn't help but feel itchy.

But thinking of the one hundred taels of silver, he had to suppress his thoughts and find a way to exchange the person for silver.

He didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Taking into account the fifty taels of silver he had paid in advance and adding this fifty taels of silver, it would be enough for him to squander for a while.

Li Jian took the silver and said to Butler Qian: "Butler Qian, my eldest brother has two daughters, but they are a little thin. You see, less silver is fine."

Butler Qian claims that he is not a good person, but he is very good to his family. Although he is not very devoted to them, he would definitely not sell out his niece.

He believed that Li Jian knew the significance of the one hundred taels of silver. On the surface it was a betrothal gift, but in reality it was money to buy one's life.

But Li Jian asked someone to find him and told him that he had a niece with outstanding appearance, who used to be the daughter of an official. She came back to recognize her relatives after her identity was revealed.

Originally he didn't want to pay attention to him. After all, Li Jian, a farmer's son, was just a student even though he studied in the academy in the town. He was not worth his attention at all.

Besides, what good girl could an ordinary farmer have? However, when he heard that she was a fake official's daughter, he immediately became interested.

The master of their family has played with all kinds of women, but he has never touched the daughter of an official. Now that the opportunity has come to him, he naturally has to seize it.

At that time, he reported this matter to the master. Landlord Huang was worried about where to get an eighteenth concubine. When he heard about the fake daughter, he directly ordered him: "No matter how much money, you must make the fake daughter his eighteenth concubine."

When discussing this matter with Li Jian, Li Jian did not ask for an exorbitant amount, only one hundred taels. In order to avoid any unexpected events, he paid fifty taels in advance and would give the rest when he met the person.

But now Li Jian had knocked his second brother's biological daughter unconscious and brought her here, and had gotten the money, but he was still not satisfied and wanted to send his eldest brother's daughter away.

This lack of bottom line made even a man like him who had done countless bad things shudder.

"This is not a matter of silver. It's a matter of my master not valuing her. If you think your eldest brother's daughter can compare to this, you can also pay one hundred taels for her."

After listening to what Butler Qian said, Li Jian frowned. He looked down upon the two daughters of his eldest brother, let alone Landlord Huang.

Originally, he was thinking about his eldest brother's two daughters. If they couldn't be exchanged for one hundred taels, fifty taels would be fine. The two together would add up to one hundred taels.

Now it seems that this idea won't work.

"Butler Qian, you see my niece has arrived at the Huang Mansion. The Li family is also considered Mr. Huang's in-laws. When is the best time for me to visit?"

Butler Qian was stunned by Li Jian's shamelessness. He thought everyone knew the truth about this matter, but it turned out that he was the clown.

Li Jian got the money and wanted to use this incident to build connections. The key point was that the girl was only his niece. Not to mention that it was impossible, even if he could mention it in front of the master, he would not say it.

"Okay, the deal has been made. I have to go back before dawn, so we'll talk later." Butler Qian was a little impatient. After he said that, he asked someone to get Li Mengyue into the car, and he was also ready to get in and leave.

When Mrs. Li saw that her son really got the fifty taels and solved the problem of the little hoof, she was so happy.

After seeing the butler Qian take his men away, she walked to her son and said to Li Jian, "Son, let me see the silver. I have never seen fifty taels of silver in my life."

"Mom, let's go back quickly. What if someone gets up at night and finds out?"

When Mrs. Li heard what her son said, she immediately quickened her pace and no longer mentioned the matter of checking the silver.

Li Jian put the silver in his arms, not quite reassured, so he touched it with his hand, took a deep breath, and followed Old Lady Li back.

Just as the sky was getting light, the side door of Landlord Huang's house was opened and a horse-drawn carriage slowly drove in.

"Go and inform the master quickly that the person has been brought back."

"Okay, Butler Qian."

After a cup of tea, the servant who went to notify came back.

"Butler Qian, the master has a distinguished guest and has no time to see him. I want you to arrange for him to stay in Wutong Courtyard and have the wedding night."

Hearing this, Butler Qian knew what the master meant. It seemed that the master was not planning to hire someone to be the Eighteenth Concubine, but just took her like this. In name, she was the Eighteenth Concubine, but in reality, she was even worse than a maid. It was a pity for such a beauty.

When they arrived at Wutong Courtyard, Butler Qian called two maids and helped the person to the room.

Li Mengyue had just laid down on the bed when her tightly closed eyes suddenly opened. She sat up and looked around the room.

The first thing that comes into view is a rosewood bedstead with exquisite carvings. There are some ornaments on the table, each of which looks very valuable. It seems that the landlord Huang has quite a bit of money.

After a while, Li Mengyue heard voices and in order not to alert the enemy, she lay on the bed pretending to be unconscious.

"Squeak." The door was opened.

"Hey, Du Juan, have you heard that this girl is a fake daughter who was swapped at birth and lived in a rich family for sixteen years. The real daughter went back to recognize her parents but was driven back."

"Oh, really?" said another maid.

"How could this be false? When Butler Qian went to pick someone up, my brother was the coachman and went with them. My brother said it himself." The maid named Dujuan explained.

Another maidservant said: "Do you think this is a good or bad fate? I have enjoyed wealth and glory for sixteen years. Now I am in the mansion. I guess..."

Du Juan: "Who knows? Don't say anything. Let's dress the girl up quickly. The master will have a wedding night tonight."

"Hey, good."

Li Mengyue heard the conversation between the two maids and knew that there must be something wrong since Landlord Huang brought so many women into the mansion.

"Girl, Du Juan and I were sent to dress you up. If you are awake, open your eyes. If you are not awake yet, we will put makeup on you like this."

Seeing that Li Mengyue had no reaction, the two maids began to prepare to dress Li Mengyue.

When the two maids just touched her, Li Mengyue's body suddenly stiffened. She wanted to push them away, but she clenched her fists and let them do whatever they wanted.

"Du Juan, looking at such a face, I don't know where to start. She is really too beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful woman."

"Yeah, I don't think I need to put on makeup at all."

"But a girl only gets married once in her life, so how can she not put on bridal makeup? Let's use less rouge and powder."

"Ok."

After more than an hour, when Li Mengyue was about to lose control, the two maids finally stopped.

"Hiss! This is so beautiful."

"Hey, we've been struggling for so long, but the girl still hasn't woken up."

"The drug was too strong. My brother told me that the girl's parents didn't know about this. It was her grandmother and uncle who were blinded by money and drugged her and sold her out."

“This is too pitiful.”

"Poor people, there are so many poor people, not to mention others, just the people in Jingyuan, who are not poor? Fortunately, we are not good-looking, otherwise we would also be poor people in Jingyuan."

After the two maids left, Li Mengyue opened her eyes and saw herself in the mirror wearing a pink wedding dress. She didn't pay much attention to it, but instead thought about the quiet courtyard that the maids mentioned.

Maybe because they thought she was a woman and was still unconscious, they relaxed their vigilance and there was no one guarding the door. This was convenient for Li Mengyue, and she walked out of Wutong Courtyard without any hindrance.

She didn't want to waste time here, and a servant happened to pass by. Li Mengyue quickly pulled the servant to a secluded corner.

The servant was dragged away and thought it was someone from the mansion. But when he saw it was a strange girl and the clothes she was wearing, he immediately understood who it was. "You, you are the girl that Butler Qian brought back."

"Where is Jingyuan?" Li Mengyue went straight to the point and asked about the place she wanted to know.

When the servant heard the word Jingyuan, his face suddenly changed and he stammered, "How...how did you know Jingyuan?"

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me where you are."

"Miss, listen to my advice. If you can leave, leave as soon as possible and don't stay here too long." It was obvious that the servant knew something but was unwilling to say it, and he didn't want Li Mengyue to stay in the Huang Mansion.

Li Mengyue saw that the servant was really doing this for her own good, so she said gently, "Well, I will go, but please tell me where Jingyuan is."

Seeing that he couldn't make sense, the servant was still determined to know the location of the quiet courtyard, so he said helplessly: "Miss, come with me."

Li Mengyue followed the servant's footsteps closely, turning left and right, and the road became more and more remote. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the two of them finally arrived at a very remote courtyard.

"This is Jingyuan. Miss, you have seen it. Let's go."

Li Mengyue was standing outside the door and heard the woman's miserable screams. She ignored the servant's earnest advice to her to leave, but took out something from her hair and fiddled with the lock a few times.

"Snapped."

Seeing that the door could not be opened without a key, Li Mengyue opened it in just three or five tries. The servant opened his mouth wide, and before he could close it, he saw the girl who asked him for directions walk straight in.

"Hey, girl, you can't come in." The servant hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, but Li Mengyue's steps were very fast and as soon as she ran to the steps, she disappeared.

The servant boy didn't know what he was thinking of. He stamped his feet and followed him in.

Li Mengyue walked into the quiet courtyard and took a step back in shock at the scene in front of her.
