The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

Peony got off the carriage, walked through the crowd, and came to Mother Chun, blocking her way.

Mother Chun looked at Shaoyao who suddenly appeared and said, "Why, do you want to meddle in other people's business?"

A glimmer of hope flashed in An Jin's eyes, but when he saw that it was a little girl, he was completely disheartened.

Shaoyao curved her lips and smiled, "Mother, my mistress likes this girl and wants to buy her as a maid. How much silver do you want?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Chun Mama's eyes. It was the first time she heard of a young lady from a wealthy family buying a girl from a brothel as a maid.

"Do not sell!"

How many taels of silver can I get by selling myself as a maid?

She was planning to take that little bitch back to the garden to give those tough guys a good beating!

Let them know what the consequences of running away are!

Shaoyao took out a banknote from her sleeve and handed it to Mother Chun. "Look, mother, is this enough?"

He actually gave one hundred taels!

Which wealthy family would spend a hundred taels to buy a maid?

Mother Chun rolled her eyes and said, "Not enough! I bought this girl to be a courtesan. I'm losing money selling her to you for a hundred taels!"

Upon hearing this, Shaoyao took out another hundred taels of silver from her sleeve and handed it over.

Two hundred taels to buy a maid?

Seeing that she was so relaxed, Mother Chun took out two hundred taels and wanted to raise the price.

Just as she was about to speak, Shaoyao spoke first, "Mom, you have to think carefully. Even if you take this girl home, she will probably be a loser given her strong personality. And even if my young lady likes her very much, I'm afraid she won't be willing to raise the price."

Mother Chun's eyes flickered when she heard this.

A white hand reached out and snatched the banknote from Chun Mama's hand.

Shaoyao said lightly: "Forget it, if mom doesn't want to, then forget it." She raised her foot and was about to leave.

"Oh, oh, oh, no, girl, I'm willing, two hundred taels is two hundred taels."

Mother Chun immediately took the banknote back and put it away, then gave the deed to Shaoyao.

She said to An Jin contemptuously, "You're lucky." Then she left with her thugs.

The people who were watching the excitement around also dispersed.

Shaoyao helped An Jin up from the ground and asked, "Are you okay?"

An Jin was filled with joy at surviving the disaster, and couldn't stop crying. "Thank you, young lady, for saving me."

"It wasn't me who saved you, it was my young lady who saved you. However, she can't see you right now. Take this jade pendant to Donglai Pavilion and find someone named Fuling. She will take care of you."

Shaoyao gave the jade pendant to An Jin and turned to get on the carriage.

An Jin watched the carriage slowly leave, clenched the jade pendant in his hand, and limped towards Donglai Pavilion.

Inside the car, Shaoyao and Licorice looked at Shen Qionghua, who was resting with her eyes closed, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

The young lady who grew up together and was almost inseparable from me now feels like a stranger.

The young lady was still the same young lady, but it seemed as if she had acquired many more secrets overnight. She knew that Aunt Bai was stealing things for money, that Fuling had left three days ago and hadn't returned yet, and that she had to secretly change her identity every time she went out. And just now...

Noticing their gazes, Shen Qionghua opened her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It feels like the young lady has grown up all of a sudden." Shaoyao said.

Licorice nodded vigorously on the side.

Shen Qionghua glanced at Shaoyao and said disdainfully, "You look so old-fashioned."

The three of them burst into laughter.

Rongde Hall

The whole room was filled with the crying of Second Madam Wu.

"Mother, I know the master is not as good as my uncle, so even though I only have this one daughter, I have always taught her to respect Lin-ge'er and to be humble to Yi-ge'er and Xuan-ge'er. But now, a cousin from a merchant family who lives in the Marquis' Mansion with her widowed mother and young brother dares to hit Fu-er!"

"Mother, Sister Fu is your granddaughter! How can you watch a merchant girl ride on her head?"

"Grandma, please make the decision for me." Zhou Lingfu's eyes were red as she looked at the old lady sitting above her sadly, revealing half of her swollen cheek.

The old lady's face was dark. She really didn't expect her eldest granddaughter to be so stupid.

When the eldest son's wife got several shops from the Shen family, she thought that the second wife was also having a hard time, after all, she was her niece, so she hinted to the second son's wife to take some things as well.

But the eldest granddaughter Ming actually said in front of the girl from the Shen family that the shop belonged to the Marquis' Mansion. Isn't it clearly saying that the Marquis' Mansion is coveting the Shen family's shop?

What if that girl becomes defensive and ruins His Highness's plan?

"Shut up! You still have the nerve to cry for giving birth to such a fool!" the old lady scolded.

Second Madam Wu trembled and subconsciously stopped crying.

"Mom, why are you still scolding me? It's obviously that bitch who's too arrogant!"

"Yes, Grandmother." Zhou Lingfu thought she must have misheard. "You must kick her out of the Marquis' Mansion!"

"Sister-in-law, you are so reckless!"

Lin was almost mad with anger after hearing what the mother and daughter said.

These past two days, she was still feeling lucky that Hua Jie'er didn't become suspicious because of what happened before, but Zhou Lingfu did such a stupid thing and even had the nerve to come to the old lady and cry.

Originally, it was very easy to shirk responsibility even if Hua Jieer found out about taking things on credit.

She could just say that she was too busy and forgot to settle the bill. Based on her understanding of Hua Jie'er, the three of them, mother and son, were now living in the Marquis' Mansion. Even if she wanted to settle the bill after being discovered, Hua Jie'er would most likely refuse.

Considering the current expenses of the Marquis' Mansion, the clothes of the masters in the inner courtyard, the rouge of the ladies, the antiques and calligraphy and paintings played with by the masters and young masters, the interpersonal relationships in the outer courtyard, the places where officials are bribed and given gifts...all these add up to a huge amount.

If she discovered it a few years later, she could use the money she saved to buy Yi'er a generous dowry.

Even this month, His Highness borrowed Yi'er's hand to obtain several valuable antiques.

Unfortunately, this idiot said in front of Hua Jie'er that the shop belonged to the Marquis' Mansion, which made things difficult!

If Hua Jie'er finds out anything and Yi'er can't become the queen, she will definitely skin the second wife and her daughter alive!

Zhou Lingyi didn't expect Zhou Lingfu to be so stupid. Even when she wanted to ask for something in front of Shen Qionghua, she had to go around in a roundabout way. She was a little panicked for a moment.

She held Lin's hand tightly, "Mom, what should we do now? Will she get suspicious?"

Lin patted her hands and said to the old lady, "Mother, why don't I go and explain to Sister Hua that it was Sister Fu who spoke nonsense in a moment of impatience."

The old lady nodded, "This is the only way now."

Second Madam Wu and Zhou Lingfu were both dumbfounded.

Shouldn't that little bitch be kicked out?

Why does it look like we still have to appease that little bitch?

"Mother, you can't be so biased and let a merchant girl ride on Fu'er's head!"

"Grandma, I am your granddaughter!"

The old lady's face darkened. "If you two keep arguing, we'll just split up the family!"

In one word, both Wu and Zhou Lingfu were speechless.

They don't want to leave the Marquis' Mansion. Life will definitely not be as good as it is now if they leave.

The old lady got a headache when she saw how stupid the second wife's mother and daughter were.

Fortunately, the real purpose of inviting the Shen family to live in the Marquis' Mansion was not told to the second house, otherwise something bad would have happened.

Lin didn't want to look at the mother and daughter again, so she took her daughter's hand and stood up.

"Mom, let me go see if Sister Hua is back."

With that said, he was ready to leave.

Just then, a servant rushed in hurriedly.

"Madam, Madam, something bad has happened! A group of debt collectors have arrived at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion!"
