Quick Wear: The Bad Girl is Reborn and No Longer Confused

Looking back now, she felt that there was nothing strange about her aunt's death. In her limited memory, her aunt was either taking medicine or resting in bed.

The main reason for her poor health was that her aunt had a difficult delivery, and she was able to sustain herself for such a long time only thanks to the support from the mansion.

In less than a month, the Xu family's residence will be raided. Is there any way to help them?

Xu Tao rubbed her chin but found nothing. She couldn't even figure out why their house was confiscated and couldn't help.

Besides, her father knew about it earlier than her and still couldn't do anything about it, which meant that there was no solution to this situation. Since there was no solution, she might as well follow him on the journey.

However, she couldn't go along with him as the daughter of a traitor. She wanted to marry Tang Nian and then divorce him, but she didn't know if he was willing. If he wasn't willing, she could find someone else. She should be able to find one for a few dozen taels.

As Xu Tao was thinking, she fell asleep in a daze, and was woken up by the noisy Cui Liu early the next morning.

"Miss, I stayed up all night last night and came up with a good idea for you."

"Oh? What method?"

"Miss, find a man you like and elope with him. If you escape from the Xu Mansion, the servants will cover for you. They don't treat you well anyway, so you..."

‘Papa pa pa’

Xu Tao shook her numb arms. Her body was so delicate that she felt sore in her arms after exerting a few efforts.

Cui Liu covered her face in disbelief. You know, she has been with the young lady since she was five years old. To be honest, they get along like real sisters.

The young lady didn't mention beating or scolding her, and she didn't even say a harsh word to her. Why did she hit her for no reason today?

"Cui Liu, how dare you bring up the idea of eloping? I may not be a talented woman proficient in poetry, but I do know the basic principles of propriety, righteousness, and honor. How dare you humiliate me?"

"Miss, I didn't. I did it for you..."

Cui Liu, who had been slapped more than a dozen times in a row, could no longer speak clearly and knelt down and kowtowed for mercy.

"Alright, since we grew up together, you can kneel down for two hours. Don't bring up any bad ideas again."

Cui Liu covered her face and went out feeling aggrieved, cursing in her heart.

It was obvious that he was angry with the master and the mistress, and he took it out on her for no reason. She was obviously doing this for Xu Tao's own good, but she is such an ungrateful person.

Xu Tao was thinking about getting rid of Cui Liu's family once and for all. They were not good people anyway. Her father would never let her take a life so easily. Who should she find to do this for her?

"Cui Liu, why are you kneeling here?"

"This servant has met the Second Young Lady. She was angry and punished this servant."

Xu Zhining frowned slightly, sent someone to report, and waited in the yard.

"Second Miss, the eldest lady invites you in."

"Sister, I'm fine. I hope I didn't disturb your rest."

Xu Tao looked at the little girl in front of her. At the age of eleven, her face was still childish. If she was a little older, her father would probably find a way to marry her off.

It seemed that the other party had come to see her in her previous life, but she was in a bad mood and naturally would not let anyone in. She made up an excuse to send the person away. Now she was really curious about her arrival.

Xu Zhining's heart started beating fast when she was being stared at. She wondered if her sister was going to hit her, so she silently took two steps back.

"Why did you come to see me?"

Xu Zhining gathered himself, quickly glanced at his sister's expression, then looked away, clearing his throat. "Sister, my brother asked me to tell you that getting married is a good thing. In time, you'll understand father's painstaking efforts."

Xu Tao raised her eyebrows. It seemed that her elder brother should have also received some news.

"elder sister."

"Is Big Brother in the yard?"

"My eldest brother went out at 11:00 AM. He told me yesterday. I thought my sister should have been asleep yesterday, so I didn't disturb her."

Xu Zhining didn't get a response and didn't feel anything. He bowed and said goodbye. He paused at the door and turned back. "Sister, I think Cui Liu seems to have some grudge against you. Be careful."

After saying that, she trotted away, fearing that she would also be beaten if she was a second late. In fact, she liked her sister very much, as they were the only two girls in the family.

But my sister was always gloomy. She wouldn't tell me the reason when asked, and she wasn't willing to get close to them. Whenever she got close to her brothers, her face would immediately droop.

Gradually, they understood and stopped disturbing her. Although my sister showed more emotion today, she seemed to be a little more open-minded than before.

After three days of trying to please others, Xu Tao was successfully released from house arrest, and all the people who were watching over her left.

Cui Liu's eyes rolled around, and it was obvious that she was not holding her fart well.

Before she could speak, Xu Tao left the house and went straight to Tingxue's yard.

"The daughter has met her mother."

"Tao'er, please sit down. What do you want to see your mother for today?"

Shen Ruoxue was a little surprised. Her daughter had never come to her yard unless she summoned her before, but today she came here on her own initiative.

"Mother, I want to prepare my own dowry. I wonder if you can let me do it myself."

Shen Ruoxue's eyes were filled with hurt. After pondering for a moment, she agreed to the request and signaled the maid beside her to go and get the banknotes.

"Tao'er, the Xu family's daughter is entitled to five hundred taels of silver when she gets married. I'll give you an additional one thousand taels. I'm giving it to you now. I've been preparing your dowry since you were a child. Please check to see if there's anything missing."

Xu Tao took the dowry list, which contained all the necessary items, exactly the same as those prepared for a legitimate daughter.

In her previous life, she had never carefully read the dowry list and handed it directly to Cui Liu. The other party kept muttering in her ear that she had not given her anything and that the box was full of things for appearances. She, such a fool, actually believed it.

"Tao'er, if you are not satisfied with anything, just tell me."

"No, I'm very grateful to my mother for working so hard for me."

Xu Tao didn't know what to say to the other party. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, she left Tingxueyuan. If she hadn't been buying something legitimately, she wouldn't have come to ask for money.

Cui Liu followed behind with her eyes full of joy. As soon as she arrived at the yard, she couldn't wait to hold the box in her arms and said, "Miss, I will keep the money for you."

'Clap clap clap'

Cui Liu covered her face with her hands, her eyes filled with grievance. What had she done wrong?

"Bicao, take Cuiliu down and explain the rules to her."

"Yes, ma'am."

Xu Tao heard the screams in the yard and nodded with satisfaction. She had a bright pearl beside her but she insisted on choosing a fish eye. She was really blind.

After lunch, he took Bicao out and ignored Cuiliu who was dizzy from the sun.

The first stop was Yuelai Restaurant. She knew that Tang Nian would come here every morning to sell his prey, so she said goodbye to the owner and left.

At her second stop, she planned to buy some gold and silver jewelry, choosing small, lightweight, and older styles so that it would be convenient for her to take care of it without any worries.

The third stop was the cloth shop, where I bought ten pieces of white fine cotton cloth, five pieces of gray and navy blue coarse linen, and one piece of silk.
