The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

The murmurs from the crowd continued unabated, "Oh dear! Don't you think Princess Zhan is taking advantage of someone in distress?"

"You're not right either. They even healed that girl's injuries! Doesn't medical treatment cost money?"

"I think this girl is just looking down on her family for being poor."

"Isn't all of this the result of the Princess Consort's sins!"

"Hmph! It's hard to be a good person in this world!"

Liu Sanhao quickly helped his fallen nephew up, saying, "Brother and sister-in-law, stop making a scene! I'm not going back with you!"

Liu Dazhuang said, "Sanhao, your sister-in-law is doing this for your own good. We've already found you a husband, and he's a businessman. Why do you have to work here as his servant and make money for him?"

“Yes! We are your family, would we harm you? A girl will get married eventually. Now that you have money, why not just return that five taels of silver to that princess? Back then, she bought you with only five taels of silver, didn’t she?” Liu Dazhuang’s wife said, rolling her eyes.

Liu Sanhao handed the child to Liu Dazhuang and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, stop making a scene here. We still have business to do. I've already paid you back all my wages for the two times you came to me. If you're careful with your spending, you can make sure you don't go hungry. Go back now!"

Liu Dazhuang's wife shoved Liu Dazhuang aside, pointed at Liu Sanhao's nose and said, "Let me tell you, Liu Sanhao, if you don't come back with us today, you can forget about doing business! I'll make a scene here, and tonight I'll take the children and sleep on the street in front of your house."

Upon hearing his sister-in-law's words, Liu Sanhao burst into tears. "Sister-in-law, are you trying to force me to my death?"

"Have you made enough of a scene?" Manager Peng, who had been standing silently at the door, finally spoke.

She took a few steps forward. "Are you deliberately here to cause trouble? If you have something to say, you can find a quiet place to discuss it properly. Why are you making such a scene and affecting our business?"

Liu Dazhuang's wife pointed at Liu Sanhao and said, "If you want to blame someone, blame her. I've come to talk to her several times. The eldest brother is like a father to his wife. How can such a grown girl not listen to her elder brother and sister-in-law? She's truly disobedient and unfilial!"

“Sister-in-law, the employer treats us very well, and I promised you that I would give you some of your wages in the future. The year is not good, and I can’t just stand by and do nothing. But why do you insist that I get married? And who is the person I’m marrying? I don’t know anything about him,” Liu Sanhao said.

“I said the eldest brother is like a father, so we'll stand up for you! I…”

"Stop!" Manager Peng shouted.

“You can handle your own family matters. Don’t let yourselves interfere with our business. Liu Sanhao, I’m giving you leave to deal with these things. Now, please leave immediately! Otherwise, I will report you to the authorities.”

Liu Dazhuang's wife also spoke loudly, jumping up and down as she said, "Report it! Report it! Let everyone see how the nobles in the capital bully us ordinary people."

Manager Peng didn't really know the details of what happened back then, but she knew in her heart that her boss wouldn't be like what this woman said.

But this matter must be resolved. Miss Lixia went to North Street today, and as the shopkeeper, she must take responsibility.

Seeing that Manager Peng didn't respond immediately, Liu Dazhuang's wife plopped down on the ground and wailed, "I can't live like this! This is too much! My sister has been bewitched! There's no way out for her!"

When she cried, her child cried too, and the crowd started buzzing again.

"When in this world is it not the poor who suffer the most!"

"Alas! Every family has its own troubles!"

"Yeah, they all think they're right!"

At this moment, Manager Wu of the rouge shop pushed through the crowd and walked in. "Manager Peng, this commotion can't go on forever, can it?"

Manager Peng looked at Liu Sanhao and said, "Get your family out of here, or I'll really report you to the authorities!"

Liu Sanhao walked with his head down to Liu Dazhuang's wife, who was still crying. "Sister-in-law, go back! Stop making a scene here!"

Seeing this, Jingxue gave Yingwu a wink, and Yingwu stepped forward to part the crowd of onlookers, saying, "Everyone, make way, our boss is here!"

Upon hearing that their master had arrived, people quickly parted to the sides, and Jingxue led Runyue and Xiaoman into the encirclement.

When Liu Dazhuang's wife saw Jingxue and the other two approaching, her eyes flickered, and she unconsciously muted her microphone.

Jingxue took off her mask. "What's wrong? Do you still recognize us? The three of us were all at the scene in Dashan Village that day. Tell everyone, did you agree to sell Liu Sanhao to me for five taels of silver?"

"You! You..." Liu Dazhuang's wife stammered, unable to speak clearly.

Manager Peng, Manager Wu, and the others bowed in unison, saying, "Greetings, Master!"

Someone in the crowd said, "Is this really the Princess Consort of War? Should we kneel down and pay our respects?"

Jingxue said, "What? Get up and explain yourself. Why are you causing trouble?"

Liu Dazhuang was a little scared when he saw Jingxue arrive. Didn't his wife say that this princess was stuck in the palace? He quickly went over and pulled his wife up.

“Fine, we’ll say it. We didn’t think it through back then, but now we want her to buy her freedom and go home. Is that not allowed?” Liu Dazhuang’s wife said stubbornly.

Jingxue took out Liu Sanhao's indenture from her bosom and held it up for everyone to see. "This is Liu Sanhao's indenture. It has the official seal of the government on it. I didn't force him to buy it, did I?"

Xiaoman said angrily from the side, "Back then, neither of your families wanted Liu Sanhao and abandoned her at the entrance of Dashan Village. My young lady was kind-hearted and healed her leg. Moreover, after she recovered, we asked for her opinion, and she herself did not want to leave. Now that my young lady has raised her well, you want to go back on your word. You are truly ungrateful!"

A new round of buzzing began in the crowd.

"Oh, I see! That family is really in the wrong!"

"She can be redeemed even with a contract of indenture, but I doubt five taels of silver would be enough! They're treating her illness and teaching her a trade, and look how well that girl is dressed!"

……

Leap Moon walked up to Liu Sanhao in a few steps. "Sister Sanhao, say something! Do you want to leave too?"

Liu Sanhao shook his head while crying, "I won't leave! I said I belong to Miss in life and in death!"

"Pah! You brainless idiot! I already told you today that I would give you five taels of silver and find you a good family, but you still want to stay here and be someone's slave. You're just a spineless bastard!" Liu Dazhuang's wife pointed at Liu Sanhao and cursed.

Leap Moon rushed forward and grabbed her arm tightly, seemingly about to dislodge it.

"Leap month!" Jingxue spoke up in time to stop her.

At the same time, Xiaoman rushed over, grabbed Runyue's sleeve, and pulled her aside forcefully, saying, "Miss is here, please don't be impulsive!"

Although the anger in her heart had not subsided after being stopped like this, the leap month still stood aside with great effort, but her puffed-up cheeks still showed her anger at this moment.

“Liu Sanhao has also stated his position, so you have no right to take her away,” Jingxue said.

Upon hearing Jingxue's words, Liu Dazhuang's wife immediately became anxious. "No, you have to come with me today!" she said, and went to pull Liu Sanhao. Before anyone could see what happened, Liu Dazhuang's wife was lying on the ground.
