Liu Rumei looked at Chuntao, feeling a little helpless.

"Don't worry, Chuntao. I'll go out with Dongqing. What are you afraid of with Dongqing protecting you?"

Chuntao shook her head vigorously. She was scared. She was really scared!

What is going on? Which girl would climb over the wall to go out in the middle of the night?

This is not okay, this is absolutely not okay!

"Girl, if someone sees this, your reputation will be gone!"

"So I wear a veil, so my face can't be seen."

After hearing what Liu Rumei said, Chuntao was a little speechless. This was not a matter of the veil.

"Girl, tell me the truth, what are you going to do?"

"I'll go and inform my father."

"Girl, tell the truth."

"Really? I'm going to tell my father. As a daughter, how can I bear to see him get beaten?"

Although it sounds reasonable, I always feel that something is wrong.

There is a night market outside now, and there is no curfew, but how can a girl walk outside!

"Girl, would you like to think about it again?"

"Don't think about it, it will be too late if you delay any longer!"

After Liu Rumei said this, she glanced at Dong Qing and saw that Dong Qing had changed into men's clothes and smeared his face with black. It was obvious that he was someone who often went out for a stroll.

"I guarantee with my life that I will bring the girl back unharmed!"

After Dongqing said this, Chuntao had no choice but to give way.

Dongqing didn't think too much about it. She often went out and knew all kinds of people.

So she thought it was no big deal, and instead it was time for her daughter to go out and broaden her horizons.

"Girl, that's selling wontons, do you want some?"

"Maybe next time. Now let's get down to business. Have you found my father's outer house?"

"Well, I have found it. I will take the girl there now."

After saying this, Dongqing hired a carriage.

Their mansion is in the east of the city, and the outer residence is in the south of the city. The distance is still a bit far, so it is more suitable to take a carriage.

A quarter of an hour later, they arrived at the place. Liu Rumei did not let the driver go, but asked him to wait.

The driver was thinking about the reward, so he was naturally willing to wait.

Liu Rumei looked at the yard. There was a pair of stone lions in front of the gate and a big elm tree. It looked clean and tidy.

"My Lord, have you come to this house after court these past two days?"

Liu Rumei asked as she looked at the carvings on the gate, which were quite delicate.

"Yes, the Marquis always rests in this courtyard. I asked around and heard that it was a couple with a son and a daughter. The eldest son is probably eighteen this year."

After Dong Qing finished speaking, she glanced at Liu Rumei. She thought that the girl was so smart that she should be able to understand.

This is the Marquis's concubine, and he has had her for many years.

"You are really good at hiding for eighteen years without being discovered. It's no big deal for a man to have a few concubines, but using the wife's dowry to support concubines is too cheap!"

Liu Rumei said this, and Dong Qing nodded. She also felt that what the girl said made sense.

"I can give your daughter more brothers and sisters, but I can't give her less than 100,000 taels. No one can covet the silver that belongs to me!"

Dongqing understood that the eldest girl didn't care about the marquis and the lady, but she cared about money!

The concubine used the lady's money, which was like poking a hole in the girl's lungs.

"I'll go get the silver back for the girl!"

Take it back, how to get it?

"Silly girl, even if you are tortured, they will not give you the silver. That is silver, who would give up silver for his life?"

Dongqing looked at Liu Rumei...actually most people would do that.

But since her daughter said so, there must be a reason for it, and her daughter is always right.

"I'll listen to the girl. Let her tell me what to do."

"We still have to outsmart them!"

Hearing this, Dongqing frowned again.

Outsmart?

This is actually quite difficult.

"Here, this bottle is for you."

Liu Rumei took out a small bottle and Dongqing held it in her hand.

"Girl, what is this?"

"This is poison, but it won't kill you. After you take it, you'll get a rash all over your body that's itchy and ugly, and it'll leave scars. Isn't this a good thing?"

Dongqing looked at Liu Rumei and wanted to ask how this happened.

"This poison was given to me by Dr. Sun. It's so precious!"

"When did Dr. Sun give it to the girl? Why didn't I see it?"

Liu Rumei was silent for a while, because this was her exclusive recipe.

"It doesn't matter. This powder melts in your mouth and is sweet. It tastes great. You can put it in soup, or even porridge. I don't know who has the good fortune to eat something so delicious today.

Oh, right, we have to go to Zui Xiang Lou to find the Marquis and give him a portion too. He can’t miss out on such a delicacy, otherwise it would be such a pity.”

Dongqing couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She was wrong.

It’s not that the eldest girl doesn’t care that the Marquis has a mistress, it’s that she cares too much and wants to kill the Marquis, right?

Holly was quite skilled in physical training, and she used up all the powder in the bottle, not only putting it in the dessert, but also in the tea, to ensure that everyone could share the blessing.

After doing all this, the two went straight to Zui Xiang Lou, which is also the largest singing and dancing hall in the local area.

This place is quite elegant. After all, it is a singing and dancing house managed by the imperial court. They sell their art but not their bodies, and the girls are basically the families of criminals.

No matter how glamorous these girls were in the past, once they entered here they became just singing and dancing artists and no longer had the pride they once had.

Of course, some people were redeemed, but their reputations were damaged and most of them became concubines, with no good future.

Liu Hanjun is not a frequent visitor here, he comes here just for socializing.

The guest he accompanied today was very unusual. He was a guest from the Prince's Mansion, and everyone respectfully called him Mr. Han.

"What do you mean, Mr. Han? My mansion is naturally willing to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness is the future king, and my mansion can send my daughter to the mansion, which is an honor that others cannot ask for."

Mr. Han couldn't understand what was going on when he saw Liu Hanjun like this.

How could a man like him, who only seeks to curry favor with the powerful, raise such a bold and reckless daughter?

His prince is still recuperating in bed and cannot move.

Three ribs, they are really broken!

"In that case, the marriage is settled today. Your Highness, if you think it would be unfair to Miss Liu, you can take her as a concubine."

"Concubine! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really kind to me. I am deeply grateful! Mr. Han, don't worry. I will definitely send people and money to the Crown Prince's Mansion within a month!"

Mr. Han looked at Liu Hanjun's excitement and thought to himself that he had lost out.

Originally, she was going to be given a position as a concubine, but unexpectedly, the prince was beaten and her status was raised.

But His Highness is a vengeful person, so this girl has no future.

"I heard that the eldest lady has a cheerful personality, but there are many rules in the Prince's Mansion. My Lord, you should tell her in advance, so that if she is wronged in the future, the eldest lady will not go back to her parents' home and cry."

Mr. Han knocked on the door again, also to test Marquis Jingning's attitude.

No one expected that Liu Hanjun would agree directly.

“People say that a daughter who is married off is like spilled water. Since you are entering the Prince’s Mansion, you must naturally abide by the rules of the mansion.

My daughter has been spoiled by her mother. After she enters the mansion, she will still need to be disciplined by the people in the mansion. My Jingning Marquis Mansion will never protect her!"

Mr. Han understood that it was okay for them to argue as they pleased.

Only now did he finally understand that Liu Rumei was basically a discarded pawn.

This is good. The prince is thinking about revenge, and this young lady probably won’t survive more than a few days in the mansion.

"Your Highness has given me such a high regard, I will definitely do my best for you and will never let you down!"

"That's good."

The two were chatting happily, but they didn't know that there was a pair of eyes watching them from the next door.
