Catching an adulterer at the beginning, the mistress of the Marquisate went crazy
Chapter 28 Buying People
"If the road ahead doesn't work, let's take a detour..."
Qingshan frowned and was about to jump off the carriage to instruct the driver to take a detour, when he saw several more carriages coming behind them, blocking their way back.
There was no way to retreat and there was a traffic jam ahead, Qingshan frowned.
Seeing Qingshan worrying about such a small matter, Liu Tianshu chuckled and took out a purse from her waist and handed it to her.
"Here is thirty taels of silver. Give it to the young man who sells himself to bury his father. Let him use the money to bury his father."
"Miss, we don't even know what that person looks like or what his character is like..."
"Just think of it as paying for the passage. I'm not letting him go back home with us." Liu Tianshu said calmly.
"Yes!"
The Liu family had no money, and the Lin family and Lin's family were afraid that she would be wronged in her husband's family, so they gave her a lot of dowry and gave her several farms and shops as a dowry.
Liu Tianshu managed those farms and shops very well and had a lot of money in her hands, so naturally she didn't care about the thirty taels of silver.
After receiving Liu Tianshu's purse, Qingshan jumped off the carriage, squeezed through the crowd, and came to the young man who sold himself to bury his father.
The boy was about fifteen or sixteen years old, very thin, his clothes were tattered, a straw was stuck in his head, in front of him was a wooden sign that read "selling my body for thirty taels of silver a year", next to him was a torn straw mat, on top of which was a person lying, covered with a layer of white cloth.
Nowadays, it would cost at most ten taels of silver to buy a servant who knows you well.
The young man asked for thirty taels of silver right away, which was only the silver for selling one's body for a year. No wonder there were so many people watching, but no one stood up to be willing to spend money to buy her.
Weighing the purse in his hand, Qingshan found that thirty taels of silver was enough, so he walked up to the young man who was selling himself to bury his father.
"My dear brother, you are lucky today. My wife will give you thirty taels of silver. Take this money and bury your father..."
Qingshan said as he placed the purse in his hand directly in front of the young man.
After hearing Qingshan's words, the boy stubbornly refused to look at the purse on the ground.
"I am selling myself to bury my father. I am not here to ask for charity. Sister, please take your purse."
Knowing that his wife was anxious to return home, Qingshan saw that the young man did not accept his kindness and sneered: "Okay, you want to sell yourself, right? Thirty taels of silver is enough for you, right?"
"I don't know which mansion my sister is from. Which mansion should I go to look for her after I bury my father?"
"I am the personal maid of the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. My name is Qingshan. When you bury your father, come to the Marquis's mansion to find me."
"Thank you so much, Sister Qingshan."
After hearing Qingshan introduce himself, the young man took the silver, took off the straw on his head, threw away the wooden sign, picked up the broken straw mat on the ground, easily moved the corpse to the cart beside him, pushed the cart with both arms and was about to leave, but found that there were people everywhere in front, behind, and around him.
"Everyone, I have found a buyer and will go bury my father now. Please make way for me."
The excitement was over, and everyone left after talking about it. No one expected that someone would be willing to spend thirty taels of silver to buy a person for a year. Everyone was curious about the real purpose of the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery in buying people. Everyone left after talking about it, and soon the road was clear.
The young man pushed the cart slowly towards a coffin shop not far away, but he turned back inadvertently and saw Qingshan getting on a carriage.
Recognizing the carriage of the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, the young man walked forward without looking back.
Qingshan and the young man had only made a verbal agreement, and neither of them had written a contract to sell themselves. Liu Tianshu just thought of it as spending thirty taels of silver to buy a smooth road, so she didn't take the matter to heart.
After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Liu Tianshu asked Guan Xue to take off the hairpins on her head and changed into light clothes. Only then did she feel relaxed.
Drinking the tea that Qingshan had just brought from outside, Liu Tianshu sent her outside to inquire about the specific situation at Xiangguo Temple.
Qingshan was not out for long and came back after only a quarter of an hour.
"Madam, I have carefully asked the maid who went to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense today. She said that Madam Chang and the second young lady of the Chang family did see the Marquis talking to the third young lady, but they did not know that the third young lady was already pregnant.
It is also said that our third daughter did not meet any men in the temple, but became good friends with the second daughter of the Chang family. "
If the person who caught Gu Jinyun and Liu Tian'ai having a secret meeting in Xiangguo Temple today was the second young master of the Chang family, he would definitely make a big deal out of this matter, and the Chang family would have no choice but to cancel the engagement.
Liu Tianshu didn't have much contact with Madam Chang. She only knew that this woman was the most calculating, but she didn't know what she would do...
