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

The excitement ended and the crowd dispersed.

When Shen Jingyi was feeling happy about the good deed she had done, the woman suddenly knelt down in front of Shen Jingyi and said with a serious expression: "Thank you for your kindness, Madam. Can you wait for me for a while? I will come back to see you after I bury my father."

In fact, she was not going to bury the person, that person would leave on his own soon. She was going to get the money. The person who came to her last night said that if she was bought by them today, they would give her three hundred taels, and if the matter was settled in the future, she could come back to get one thousand taels.

This is money, she must go and get it.

Shen Jingyi was shocked by her actions for a moment, not knowing how to respond, and quickly said: "No, don't do that, I just want to help you bury your father! I don't want to buy you."

What, not taking her with you? How can that be possible? Wouldn’t her money be gone?

So, she said pitifully, "But Madam, you have already bought me, and you just gave me twenty taels."

King Xuan raised his eyebrows and watched the show from behind with his hands folded, with no intention of going up to help.

He wanted to see how Yi'er would handle this matter. She was too soft-hearted, so she was easily taken advantage of. This incident was just the right opportunity to let her know how sinister people are.

Only when you have experienced it yourself will you be on guard against it in the future. Otherwise, no matter how much you say, it will be useless.

When Nanny Qin heard that the woman still wanted to rely on them, she walked over and glared at the woman angrily.

"What's wrong with you? Don't you understand what our lady says? How can you rush to be someone's slave?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, looking confused.

"I didn't mean to do that. I just wanted to survive and find a proper burial place for my father..."

Her voice began to tremble and she became more emotional.

Seeing this, Shen Jingyi felt a little sorry for him and said softly, "I've already given you money for the burial, and I've also given you ten taels for living. Don't you want to live freely? Why do you have to follow me into the lowly class?"

She sincerely hoped that the woman would reconsider her choice. After all, once she entered the lowly class, it would be difficult to get out of the class.

The woman shook her head gently, her eyes full of determination and helplessness.

"Ma'am, I really have no choice! I can only survive by following you.

After my father passed away, I have no family or support here.

I couldn’t survive on my own.”

After saying this, she deliberately glanced at King Xuan who was standing behind her.

She wanted to know if the man had any sympathy for her situation.

It was this glance that made Shen Jingyi's heart alarm bells ring, and the farce of last night instantly emerged in his mind.

She couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: Oh, I was so careless! What on earth do these people want to do? It's really hard to guard against them.

Chun Tao felt sorry for her when she heard her say that. She couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in her heart and said, "Madam, she does look very pitiful. How about..."

However, before she could finish her words, Shen Jingyi glared at her fiercely, and the rest of her words were stuck in her throat.

Shen Jingyi thought that maybe she should try again, so she continued, "Girl, if you feel that it is difficult for you to survive, you can find a good family to marry.

I just happen to know someone there.”

After Lin Shubin stood nearby and heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little confused. When did his cousin know someone here?

And they seem to have a very close relationship. Did they meet last night?

Not only Lin Shubin was curious, Chuntao and Qiuju were even more confused.

They have always been around Lin Shuyao, how could they not know that she knew such a person? Especially this person can act as a matchmaker for others.

Only King Xuan's expression showed a faint smile, and his eyes wandered between Shen Jingyi and the woman, as if he was full of anticipation for the upcoming conversation.

He knew that Yi'er had probably already started to have doubts in her heart.

The seventh and eighth masters beside King Xuan looked at each other and wondered in their hearts, "What on earth is going on between the prince and the concubine?" Chuba muttered softly.

"I think the concubine wants to test this woman." Chu Qi speculated in a low voice, with curiosity flashing in his eyes, "She wants to know if this woman really wants to go with us."

King Xuan smiled slightly and tapped the edge of the carriage with his fingers, pretending not to hear their conversation.

He pondered secretly, and his heart was full of confidence in Shen Jingyi.

Faced with Shen Jingyi's proposal, the woman looked hesitant and did not seem to respond immediately.

In fact, she was calculating the gains and losses in her mind.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Shen Jingyi thought she had figured it out, and said, "Life is not easy, and everyone is trying to survive.

But if this path is wrong, there will be no return. Perhaps changing direction would be a better choice."

The woman’s eyes trembled slightly, as if she caught something in these words, but her face was still filled with urgency and determination: “But… I don’t have any relatives here.

I don't want to get married. I want to repay my wife. From now on, I belong to her. I will be obedient and go through fire and water for her.

Shen Jingyi's expression did not improve because of these words of loyalty, but instead became a little gloomy.

However, the woman mistakenly believed that she had successfully "fooled" Shen Jingyi, and she was secretly delighted and looked expectant.

She was confused by the bright prospects in her heart and did not realize that Shen Jingyi's expression was not one of relief.

"Chun Tao, go write a contract of sale for her to sign."

Shen Jingyi's voice was calm and resolute.

This startled Chun Tao, who was accompanying her, but she quickly reacted and said, "Yes, ma'am."

After saying that, Chuntao quickly turned around and walked towards the carriage.

The concubine took her in, and she was happy for that woman. You know, their concubine is the best master.

Not long after, Chuntao came back with the written contract of sale, with a hint of excitement on her face.

She handed the contract to the woman. The woman was excited and quickly signed her name on it, with gratitude and expectation in her eyes.

She carefully handed the contract back to Shen Jingyi with a respectful and earnest expression.

Shen Jingyi glanced at the contract of sale, the handwriting on it was clear and distinct, so she handed the contract to King Xuan who was walking over, "Master, you can do it."

King Xuan took the contract, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes. "Okay."

"You've seen it a long time ago, right?" Shen Jingyi's voice was slightly low and full of doubt.

After hearing this, King Xuan nodded and gave his affirmation.

Then he said gently: "Go back to the carriage first, I'll have someone take care of it."

"OK then."

Shen Jingyi ignored the sound coming from behind and just climbed into the carriage.

She sat in the carriage, feeling somewhat unhappy. Although King Xuan did not show anything, she always felt that he seemed to be hiding something from her.

Shen Jingyi suddenly remembered that in the morning, it seemed that a man in black whispered something to King Xuan.

However, she didn't want to ask too much. After all, there were some important matters of the court that she couldn't ask about casually.
