The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

Thinking of this, Wu Qing hardened his heart and took out another copper coin and stuffed it into Aunt Wang's hand.

"Aunt Wang, has the Li family ever considered marrying Yang'er off again? You said selling her to the Ciyou Hall wouldn't sound good to others."

Aunt Wang was speechless. You know it doesn’t sound good, but you still sell everything in the house.

"You know how the Li family knows they have a bad reputation. They're in business, so they care about their reputation. But when the news got out, everyone else gave up on Yang'er once they heard her fortune wasn't good. The three-year mourning period is almost over, and the Li family is planning to send Yang'er away once it's over."

Wu Qing was a little anxious and asked quickly:

"If someone wants to marry, what are the rules?"

"Yes, I think they want two taels of silver."

Hearing two taels of silver, Wu Qing became hesitant again.

Seeing that Wu Qing was hesitant, Aunt Wang struck while the iron was hot.

"Young man, I'm telling you all this because I think you're a good person. I've watched Yang'er grow up. Not only is she beautiful, but she's also well-educated and well-mannered. Where can you find such a good wife?"

"If it weren't for this, how could the Li family be interested in her since both her parents are dead? With her status, she's not bad enough to be a concubine to an official. Recently, I heard that an official also took a fancy to her and even asked me about it. But what good fate does a concubine have? So I said I wanted to ask around."

"But the time is almost here. Yang'er will either be sold to the Charity Church or married off as a concubine. I'm torn as to what I can do. I've seen over the past few days that you have some sincerity towards Yang'er. If you're willing, please be kind and marry her back to save her."

Wu Qing was still a little hesitant, but when he saw that he was not the only one who liked Yang'er, and there was also an official, he suddenly felt anxious.

Yes, he was lucky to meet such a beautiful woman like Yang'er, so he didn't want to miss it.

In the future, I will have a beautiful wife at home, enough food in the granary, and some wine to drink. Just thinking about this makes my life comfortable.

"Aunt Wang, I naturally adore Yang'er, but two taels of silver is too much. I..."

Wu Qing rubbed his hands and signaled to Aunt Wang that he did not have so much money.

Aunt Wang spat inwardly when she saw this. The toad wanted to eat swan flesh, but he didn't even consider his own moral character.

"Alas, how can an ordinary family afford so much money? I guess next time the official comes, I'll tell him the truth. Although I can't hold my head up, at least I won't have to worry about food and drink."

Aunt Wang shook her head, turned around and prepared to leave.

Wu Qing grabbed Aunt Wang and said anxiously, "Hey, don't go."

I made up my mind and made up my mind.

"I'll go get some money. When I have it, I'll come find you. Please help me talk to the Li family."

Aunt Wang laughed immediately and praised Wu Qing as a good husband, saying that Yang'er was lucky to meet him.

He said this as if Yang'er was already Wu Qing's person, but Wu Qing still fell for it.

Without further ado, Wu Qing went home to get the silver and waited eagerly for Aunt Wang.

"You are the one who wants to marry me, the second son's wife?"

An old man with a mustache walked over and looked at Wu Qing.

Wu Qing felt a little timid when he saw the wealthy man in front of him, and replied softly.

Seeing that the man was hesitant and looked as if he couldn't handle the situation well, Li Da spoke with some impatience.

"Have you got the money ready?"

"Ready, ready."

Wu Qing smiled along, and Li Da didn't even look at him. He ordered someone to tie Yang'er's hands and bring him over.

"One hand gives money, the other hand gives people."

Wu Qing felt distressed when he saw Yang'er's tears streaming down her face, her hands tied with rough hemp ropes.

After quickly giving the silver, Yang'er was pulled in front of Wu Qing.

Li Da took the silver and left with his servants. Wu Qing waited until everyone had left before he dared to untie Yang'er.

Looking at the red and tender little hands tied with hemp rope, Wu Qing blew on them with heartache.

"Master, is that you?"

Yang'er looked at Wu Qing timidly, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

When Wu Qing saw Yang'er like this, he felt very sweet in his heart and wanted to take Yang'er back immediately.

"It's me. My wife has suffered. Come on, let's go home."

Yang'er nodded shyly and followed Wu Qing back home.

Wu Qing bought the things, a night of spring is worth a thousand gold, Wu Qing couldn't wait any longer.

After drinking the wedding wine with Yang'er, Wu Qing climbed on top of Yang'er and prepared to do it.

Who would have thought that his eyes would blur and in just two breaths, he fell unconscious on the bed.

Yang'er lay down for a while before getting up. Looking at Wu Qing, who was like a dead pig, he kicked him hard a few times.

After tidying her clothes, Yang'er walked to the gate and opened it. There were two strong men waiting at the door.

"Girl, is that man asleep?"

Yang'er nodded, told the location of the grain, and ordered people to take the grain away.

He walked to the side and took out the remaining 700 copper coins from a gourd on the gate.

"This Lai Sanwazi is really good at hiding. We couldn't find where he hid the food and money before."

"That's right, this guy doesn't mind being dirty and hides food in the toilet. Ugh, he can still eat it."

A man covered his mouth and nose with a cloth and took out more than 30 kilograms of food from under the blue bricks of the dry toilet.

Yang'er covered her mouth and nose and watched the two men busying themselves.

"Move your things to the door and be quiet so as not to wake up the people around you."

A few people sneaked around, and at some point an ox cart arrived at the door, and a few people loaded the things onto it.

Yang'er looked at the house deed in her hand and sighed. If she wasn't in a hurry, she could have stayed a few more days and stolen the house away.

But since I can't get it, I might as well destroy it.

Yang'er placed the house deed under the candle and watched the paper slowly burn out.

What Yang'er hated most was unfaithful people. Looking at Wu Qing lying on the bed, Yang'er's eyes gradually turned cold.

Damn this stinky man. Yang'er took the wooden hairpin that Wu Qing gave her on the road today and scratched it across Wu Qing's neck.

In the end, I stopped. It is easy to kill someone, but sometimes living a life worse than death is the most torturous.

Yang'er looked back as she walked out, then turned and walked into the darkness.

The next day, Wu Qing woke up with his head covered. Looking at the wedding character on the top of the bed, he realized that he had married a new wife yesterday.

But when he turned around, he found that there was no one around him, and he looked again and found that he had not taken off his clothes.

I had a bad feeling in my heart and stood up suddenly, feeling dizzy.

After recovering, Wu Qing groped his way out and looked around but didn't see anyone.

When Wu Qing saw the blue bricks that had been pulled out of the dry toilet, he collapsed to the ground and crawled over to take a closer look. It was empty inside, with only a mouse staring at him face to face.

Wu Qing remembered his silver and ran back to look at the gourd. There was not a single cent left in it. He immediately burst into tears like a child.

He was crying and howling, and people around heard it and ran out to watch the fun.
