Quick Wear: My hair changed color, and I became stronger
Chapter 143 Concubine
Chi Li pretended to be calm as he opened the heavy box. Inside was not only silver but also gold bars.
"I'm rich!" Chi Li closed the box to prevent anyone from coveting her windfall.
"Miss Chi, would you be willing to use the valuables inside to help others?" Jiang Zhili stepped forward and asked gracefully.
Isn't it true that you, a prince, can't afford the money? Chi Li hugged the box tightly, and the meaning in her eyes was very clear.
Jiang Zhili seemed not to understand her accusation and waited for her reply gently.
Of course Chi Li couldn't refuse, "Of course, I have always been a helpful woman."
Jiang Zhili nodded with satisfaction.
"Miss Chi, you only need to give him some of the silver. My child is so young, I'm afraid he can't handle such a huge fortune."
Chi Li was happy again: "Yes, Master Jiang is still thoughtful."
After reluctantly handing over some of the silver to the little boy, Chi Li asked He Wanxin, "Where is my maid Liu Cai?"
He Wanxin looked at He Wanyan.
"I asked her to go to Yulu Pavilion to buy chestnut cakes. Isn't that girl's favorite cake?" He Wanyan said.
"My preferences change from time to time, so don't take it to heart. I'll be leaving now, haha."
Chi Li decided to leave this useless plot group and go for a stroll. Maybe she could meet the handsome Bai Zhenxi again!
Ignoring the people's different expressions, Chi Li walked straight through the crowd and slipped away.
As she walked, she asked passers-by for the location of Yu Lu Pavilion, and stopped to observe the new objects for a while. Chi Li estimated that by the time she arrived at Yu Lu Pavilion, Liu Cai would have disappeared.
On either side of the lantern festival were taverns and teahouses. In the open spaces on both sides were many small vendors with large umbrellas. Amidst the bustling crowd, Chi Li spotted the dark blue headband at first sight.
Seeing the approaching customer, the female jewelry vendor smiled and said, "Miss, you have good taste. People who come to me to buy gifts are usually giving them to someone they admire, and you should be no exception."
Chi Li nodded. She picked up the hairband and imagined how it would look tied to the bun on Bai Zhenxi's head.
"The feng shui here is excellent. All the young men and women who buy jewelry from me will have their wishes come true."
The vendor boasted, not knowing whether it was true or not, but it was a good thing to bring good luck.
Chi Li paid the bill and left quickly. She planned to quicken her pace to go to Yulu Pavilion to find Liu Cai.
After walking for a while, I saw a group of people gathered in front of me, seemingly discussing something.
Chi Li passed by without looking around, thinking, there's nothing to see, and being curious is not a good thing.
"Damn it, how could I be so gossipy?" Chi Li succumbed to her curiosity. She couldn't help but back away and squeezed into the crowd.
"What are you looking at?" Chi Li became interested.
The old woman who had watched the whole thing explained, "The eldest son of this family wanted to sell his sister to the butcher in the west. The girl didn't want to, so she started making a scene."
The man in the circle was wearing a white and yellow gown. Although he was skinny, his aura was ferocious and shocking.
"You useless thing, you are still dreaming of becoming a concubine of a rich man. Don't you see what kind of person you are? I tell you this is your best way out." He pushed the crying woman to the ground and said fiercely.
The woman on the ground covered her face with her hands and wept softly. She sobbed and said, "My father had already found a way out for me before he died. My brother wanted to sell me off against my will just to get the money from the butcher."
The man's eyes widened with anger. He kicked the woman mercilessly and roared, "What way out? It's just what your father said to coax you. Ask which family is willing to take you as a concubine?"
The woman had been kicked so hard that she was spitting blood and lost consciousness.
Chi Li looked around anxiously but saw no one to stop her. In desperation, she shouted, "Stop it! Someone's going to die! I'll marry her as my concubine, okay? Stop it now."
The crowd quieted down and the man stopped to look at Chi Li. He took a look at Chi Li's dress and realized that she was definitely a rich person.
"You are a woman, how can you marry a concubine?" he said regretfully.
Chi Li stepped forward, helped the woman, whose face was covered in bruises, to her feet, and said, "Who said women can't take concubines?"
"It seems that no one stipulates that women cannot take concubines." The onlookers commented.
"Then how much can you offer? As long as the price is right, you can buy it and do whatever you want with it." A greedy look appeared on the man's sallow face.
Chi Li didn't know much about the human trafficking in ancient times, so she could only guess, "One hundred taels?"
A bright light flashed in the man's cloudy eyes, and he quickly said, "Deal, you can take the person away!"
Shit! That was too much. Chi Li regretted not asking for less.
At this point, Chi Li could only pay the hundred taels with a painful look on his face.
The crowd dispersed when they saw that there was nothing exciting to watch. Chi Li half-carried the woman covered in wounds and walked towards the clinic.
"I... I'm fine, it's just a minor injury." After regaining consciousness, the woman struggled to leave Chi Li.
Chi Li let go of her obediently and asked, "Are you sure? You're vomiting blood."
The woman wiped the blood from her lips, forced a smile and said, "I'm really fine. Thank you for saving me, Miss. I will try my best to be your concubine."
Her face was covered in bruises and looked horrible. Chi Li advised, "You should go to the clinic. The injuries on your face are too severe."
The woman covered her face with her hands and shook her head in refusal: "Miss, you have already spent a lot of money on me. How can I waste money on such a trivial matter? I am used to such injuries."
"My blood has stained the lady's clothes. I deserve to die." She said in panic after noticing the bloodstains on Chi Li's white skirt.
"A girl's face is very important. Let's go. I have a lot of money and I feel uncomfortable if I don't spend money for a day. Why make it dirty? I'm not a clean person." Chi Li said proudly.
Ignoring the woman's resistance, Chi Li dragged her forward, looking back and smiling as she walked, "Don't worry about money. I'm actually a nouveau riche. Um, how do you say that?"
Chi Li thought about the plot of the TV series, then turned back to her and said, "Just think of it as meeting a soft-hearted god. Hahaha, even though it's summer now, this plot is really more suitable for winter, right!"
"A soft-hearted God?" The woman seemed to have touched an unfamiliar word. She tilted her head and said in confusion.
"Hahahaha, I'm just kidding. There can't be a useless god like me in the world." Chi Li smiled brightly, and her eyes were especially bright because of the smile.
No wonder she saved her, it turns out the lady is a god.
The woman held Chi Li's hand back and thought that she was finally lucky for once in her life.
