Never divorce, never stop getting rich

"This is not what I want to buy, it's... it's for the Marquis..."

The madam died unjustly. Who would buy a girl like this who is average-looking and easy to offend people? She took the deal reluctantly because she couldn't afford to offend the Marquis with her small building.

"It's okay, it's fine at your place. Look! That's your former courtesan over there. I'll send her back to you. You can send my maid back."

Qian Qiansui figured it out clearly: these places that eat people have one price when sold and another price when redeemed. She is not a sucker, so it is better to make use of them.

"What?"

The madam took a look at Liu Ruyan and knew what was clear to her. She was caught red-handed by the mistress and was planning to sell her.

She has seen this kind of thing many times. It is also Liu Ruyan's bad luck. She thought she was lucky when she was redeemed by the Marquis, but after all these twists and turns, she is still going back to her old ways.

"Ma'am, this... this is probably inappropriate."

Considering that they were once mother and daughter, the madam struggled and said:

"I can return the maidservant at her original price, but this one is already the Marquis's bedmate. If I take her away again, I'm afraid the Marquis will not forgive me when he remembers her in the future. Madam, please be kind..."

"Don't count on me, sir."

Qian Qiansui shook the indenture and interrupted the madam, saying, "Since the Marquis has handed her over to me, you don't have to worry about him settling scores in the future."

Liu Ruyan's face was pale and she had no energy to struggle. She could only shed silent tears, looking at Qian Qiansui with eyes full of hatred.

Seeing this, the madam had no choice but to do what she could. She sighed and was about to reach out to take the indenture.

"Hey!"

Qian Qiansui withdrew his hand, winked cunningly, and said with a smile:

"Don't be impatient, let's make things clear. My two maids are not well-educated and have strong personalities. They are only pretty.

How can she compare to Miss Ruyan, who is so beautiful and graceful, and has been carefully nurtured by the boss..."

The madam felt something was not right and had a premonition that she was being cheated.

"What do you mean, madam?"

"The price difference must be compensated!"

Qian Qiansui rubbed his fingers and raised his eyebrows to indicate.

"what?!"

The madam almost cried out. Not only did she not make any money from this deal, she even had to lose money. No one knew Liu Ruyan's worth better than her.

The total cost of those two maids was only ten taels of silver. If you calculate the difference seriously, it might be a hundred taels.

What's more, Liu Ruyan is no longer a virgin, and her former title of the most beautiful woman is a thing of the past. Now she is just the marquis's concubine.

If it were sold back, its value would surely plummet. It would be a blessing for her to be able to get half of its original value.

"What, you don't want to?"

Qian Qiansui's face turned cold. Did they all think her people were easy to bully? She had read so many novels that she probably had some understanding of the trivial matters of reputation in ancient times.

If people knew that her two maids had visited this brothel, even if there was no actual loss, her reputation would be ruined.

The difference is nothing more than compensation for the mental damage suffered by these two girls.

The madam hesitated for a moment and said through gritted teeth:

"I can return all the maidservants of Madam Liu Ruyan if I don't want any of them. Madam Liu Ruyan can sell them to anywhere she wants. We don't want them in our house."

This is at most a loss of ten taels, which is better than cutting off one's own flesh.

"Alright, let's meet at the government office! The constable from the yamen hasn't left yet, so I'll ask him to go with me to the government office to reason things out."

Qian Qiansui stood up neatly and went to look for the family portrait, continuing as he walked:

"I want to ask, why can my maidservant be sold to a brothel even though her indenture is in my possession? Are the brothel's procedures complete and legal?"

As soon as the madam heard this, she knew that the only way to solve the problem today was to spend money. If Qian Qiansui was still the family member of the fifth-rank official of the Qian family, she would not be afraid, but now Qian Qiansui was married into the Anshun Marquis's Mansion.

It seems that he is on good terms with the Marquis, so she cannot afford to offend him easily.

What's more, for people in their line of work, household registration and other matters are all shady and cannot withstand scrutiny.

Not to mention the secret trade of slaves, even if they were from good families, as long as they had no background and were favored by them, they would not escape the fate of being fabricated as slaves and sold into the brothel.

The Marquis's wife has the indentures of the two maids. If she really takes the case to the government office, she will definitely be charged with trafficking slaves.

She is just a chess piece, and can be abandoned at any time. The people behind the building will definitely not be willing to expose themselves for her.

"Madam, please stay. This matter is easy to discuss, easy to discuss!"

The madam stepped forward to stop Qian Qiansui, and gave a look to the thug who came with him to the door. The man immediately turned around and left. This matter cannot be delayed, and the two maids must be sent as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble.

Qian Qiansui was satisfied and thought that as long as the compensation was in place, everything would be fine.

Lai Shun has been guarding Qian Qiansui, with his head held high and his face full of murderous intent, as if he was afraid that others didn't know that he was now the most loyal lackey beside the lady, and anyone who wanted to get close to the lady had to endure his cold gaze.

Quan Jiafu finally persuaded the constable to leave and walked in exhausted. Seeing Lai Shun's miserable appearance, he was immediately filled with anger.

There was still room for turnaround. He could have maneuvered a little to ease the situation a little, and it would never have gotten to this point where it was completely out of control.

In the end, this kid just kept going down this path, and now he's stuck in a dilemma. What if the Marquis finds out...

"Everyone is in charge."

Qian Qiansui called the people over and said in a low voice:

"What I'm saying today is that I want to tell you that there are many people who want to work for me, and it's not difficult to find someone who can replace Quan Guan.

But for the steward, there is no guarantee that he will have a good future in the next master's family."

Quan Jiafu secretly pinched his limp thighs tightly, hiding the fear in his eyes, and forced a smile:

"That's for sure. I'm just timid, but once I figure it out, I'll naturally be willing to sacrifice my life for my master and share his worries."

Damn it, his indentures are in the lady's hands.

Qian Qiansui neither nodded nor scolded. She just smiled and went back to sit down.

Instead, Lai Shun pouted and rolled his eyes at Quanjiafu. He was following Quanjiafu around and calling him uncle yesterday, but today Quanjiafu became a disloyal traitor in his eyes.

Things went much more smoothly after that. The madam sent Qian Qiansui's two maids back. The two little girls were terrified and cried for a long time when they saw Qian Qiansui.

It was not until the madam dragged Liu Ruyan away that they gradually came to their senses. Unfortunately, this was not a suitable place to talk too much, so they could only endure it and go back to talk about it later.

Qian Qiansui looked at Liu Ruyan's desperate and angry eyes, and knew that the madam would definitely not let Liu Ruyan go if he went there. At least the hundred taels of silver that the madam compensated Qian Qiansui would definitely be earned back from her.

Everyone in the yard was tied up, and Qian Qiansui also asked Quan Jiafu to invite a constable to identify them. If there were anyone with a criminal record, they would all be handed over to the police. The rest with indentures would all be sold, and those who came to work temporarily would be given a balance payment and dismissed.

Of course, the money found in the room was to compensate our Les for his mental damages.

As for the house, Qian Qiansui has not yet figured out what to do with it, so she will have to wait and see tomorrow. Now she has to go back home to settle the issue of her dowry.

However, just as he went out, Qian Qiansui heard a man deep in the alley say in a greasy voice: "Just let me touch it, just a touch will be fine."
