Traveling through time and space to become a concubine: I just want to live a leisurely life

In the backyard of the county government office, Miss Gao was pacing back and forth anxiously.

The hem of her white gauze skirt swayed, just like her uneasy mood at the moment.

"What's wrong with Xiao Cui? Why hasn't she come back yet?"

Miss Gao kept muttering to herself anxiously while looking at the door.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, a burst of hurried footsteps came from a distance.

Miss Gao immediately turned her head and looked towards the door, her eyes full of anticipation and nervousness.

I saw Xiao Cui pushing the door open, panting, her face as pale as paper.

Her heart sank instantly, and she already had the answer in her mind.

But she still went forward without giving up, and asked anxiously: "How is it, did it succeed?"

Xiao Cui's face was not very good. When she heard Miss Gao's question, she shook her head.

He replied with a trembling voice: "Miss, we failed. Not only did we fail, but we were also exposed on the spot.

Now they are asking for a hundred taels of silver as a hush money."

Miss Gao's eyes widened and she angrily cursed, "What a loser! You can't even do this, and you still want money."

Then, as if he had thought of something, he asked again: "Isn't that woman the most beautiful girl in the brothel?

How could she be seen through so easily? Isn't she quite good at dealing with men? "

Xiao Cui shook her head, thought for a moment, and slowly replied, "They said that man was very smart and very vigilant.

They were discovered as soon as they appeared, and the man didn't give them any chance to speak or act."

Miss Gao's eyes flashed with disappointment, she gritted her teeth and said firmly: "I don't believe there are men in the world who don't cheat, it can only be said that women are not working hard enough.

Go find someone to try again! This time we'll do a 'selling oneself to bury the father' scene, remember the woman must be beautiful!"

"Only beautiful women can arouse men's desire to protect them."

Xiao Cui was stunned for a moment. Although she was dissatisfied, she could only nod: "But Miss, I heard that they will leave tomorrow morning..."

"Ah, so fast?"

Miss Gao's heart tightened, and she immediately became furious. She said anxiously, "Then go and arrange it right now. What are you still standing here for? Go quickly!"

"Okay, slave, let's go now."

Xiao Cui responded and turned to leave.

Suddenly he thought of something, so he turned around and asked, "So, do we have to give back the 100 taels of silver that those people gave us earlier?"

"Give, give, give, of course. Take it, and tell them to shut their mouths!"

Miss Gao gritted her teeth and took out the banknote, with a fierce light flashing in her eyes.

"Yes." Xiao Cui took the banknote, turned around and left, walking out of the door in quick steps.

At this time, Shen Jingyi and King Xuan also returned to the post station, unaware that the second plan against them was already being implemented.

"Cousin, you are finally back."

Just then, Lin Shubin ran over from the backyard, his tone sounded a little aggrieved and his eyes revealed a bit of regret.

"You were not here when I came back. If Fu Bing and Xing Li were not still here, I would have thought you had left quietly."

"There's nothing to feel wronged about." Shen Jingyi curled her lips and interrupted him rudely.

She didn't indulge him. "Didn't you go to meet your friends? Why are you back so soon?"

"Are you talking about Brother Wen?" Lin Shubin showed disdain.

"Oh, that guy is too showy. Wherever he goes, there are a bunch of women around him. I couldn't stand it, so I came back, but when I came back, you were not here."

"Okay, let's talk tomorrow if you have anything to say. Yi'er is tired."

At this time, King Xuan interrupted their chattering and seemed a little impatient.

He took Shen Jingyi's hand, not wanting to waste any more time on these trivial matters, and took her directly back to their respective rooms, leaving Lin Shubin standing there in a daze.

The next morning, the faint morning light shone through the windows of the inn, and the air was filled with the aroma of local specialties.

At this time, King Xuan and Shen Jingyi were enjoying a delicious breakfast.

The steaming hot soup dumplings have thin skin, large fillings and delicious soup. Just take a bite and the rich meat aroma and delicious soup will immediately fill your mouth.

A dish of colorful and crispy pickles would be the icing on the cake.

The sweet and sour taste of pickles and the fresh fragrance of soup dumplings complement each other, increasing people's appetite.

After eating her fill, Shen Jingyi was dragged into the carriage by King Xuan with annoyance.

"I feel like I've gained weight recently. I must eat less in the future." She pursed her lips and said seriously.

"Don't think too much. You're not fat. You're still beautiful."

King Xuan sat beside her, looking at her sincerely, with a smile on his face revealing gentle concern.

There was no hesitation in his tone, as if these words came from the bottom of his heart.

Really?" Shen Jingyi was a little skeptical and couldn't help pinching her belly.

I thought to myself, "It turns out that men's words cannot be trusted. It's obvious that her flat belly has a little flesh."

"Of course," King Xuan smiled and continued, "You are still too thin. You should gain some weight."

His words were full of joking, and his tone was relaxed and a little teasing.

"I only listen to the first part. I automatically block out the rest and don't listen to it." Shen Jingyi said mischievously.

Humph, she doesn't want to listen to her. She has her own aesthetic standards.

The two of them chattered all the way, intimately and naturally.

The carriage rumbled and soon arrived at the city gate.

Shen Jingyi looked out of the car window and saw a group of people gathered in front from afar, with excited discussions and low sighs intertwined.

Out of curiosity, she leaned forward slightly and tried to look inside.

Faintly she seemed to see a woman kneeling on the ground.

"Your Highness, there is something happening ahead. Let's go take a look." There was a hint of urgency in her voice and a gleam of inquiry in her eyes.

King Xuan smiled helplessly and shook his head. "You are just too kind-hearted."

Although he was also quite curious about this matter, he still had to be careful in such a place.

He sighed, but still asked the driver to stop the car.

When the carriage stopped, Shen Jingyi couldn't wait to open the door and get out. The noise around her seemed to become clearer.

In the crowd, several passers-by were discussing in low voices.

I heard that her father was in debt and hoped that she could find a noble person to rely on before he died, but I didn’t expect that she would choose this way. "

A passerby sighed, his voice low and full of sympathy.

"Poor girl, who would be willing to be so desperate if there were any other options?"

Another person continued, his eyes full of regret.

King Xuan followed behind her and whispered, "Be careful, don't get too close."

Shen Jingyi nodded and walked in.

I saw a ragged woman kneeling in front of me, with dull eyes and a sad face.

Even so, it couldn't hide her beautiful face.

Behind her was a corpse covered with a white cloth and a wooden stick stuck on the ground with four big characters written on it: "Selling myself to bury my father". The handwriting was crooked, but it revealed a sense of sadness.

"How pitiful! She has to sell herself to bury her father at such a young age."

"Yeah, it's really unfortunate."

"What a pity! How come I haven't seen such a beautiful woman before?"

"Like it? Then take it back."

"Don't be ridiculous, I don't have any money."

Shen Jingyi looked at the woman in front of her, and a trace of pity welled up in her heart. She walked forward and asked softly, "Girl, how much money do you need to bury your father?"

The woman raised her head, her eyes full of tears, and choked up and said, "Only ten taels of silver will be enough."

Shen Jingyi took out a silver ingot from his bosom, handed it to the woman, and said, "Here is twenty taels of silver, you can use it to bury your father properly."

The woman was so grateful that she kowtowed repeatedly to express her gratitude.

Shen Jingyi helped her up and said gently, "Go and take care of the aftermath."

Everyone praised Shen Jingyi's good deeds and expressed their admiration.

However, no one noticed that a cunning light flashed in the woman's eyes...
