The entire Marquis's mansion regrets it? Too late, their little one has become the darling of t

"Why are you here again?"

Cui Ruixin was somewhat surprised.

"Perhaps they've come to blame the Third Master and Third Madam. After all, Her Highness is pregnant, and if that evil spirit were to harm her, it would be a serious crime," the maid guessed.

“That makes sense.” Cui Ruixin nodded.

"I am the mistress of the Marquis's mansion. If I am blamed, I will have to go and apologize. Hurry up and help me up."

She said this aloud, but in her heart she was gloating and wanted to see the third wife make a fool of herself.

"Yes." The maid quickly helped her to the front hall.

The entire Marquis's household arrived in perfect unison.

The same head palace maid, Lan Yue, came from the princess's residence.

Several guards from the princess's residence followed behind her.

Judging from their posture, they've come to demand an explanation.

Cui Ruixin quickly bowed: "The Marquis's mansion was unaware that the child was a demon, otherwise they would never have dared to invite Her Highness the Princess as a guest. We hope..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lan Yue interrupted her: "The princess doesn't believe in demons and evil spirits. She asked where that Taoist priest went because she wants to see the Second Miss."

Hearing this, Cui Rui felt as if struck by lightning.

How could the princess not believe it!

The old Marquis and his wife were also taken aback; the princess was so fixated on that child.

But the child had already been taken away by a Taoist priest who appeared out of nowhere.

How can this be good?

Yu Kangjing immediately stepped forward: "I have ordered people to keep an eye on that Taoist priest. I expect to hear news soon."

"Yes, Lord Yu. These guards from the Princess's residence are for your use. Make sure to find the Second Miss as soon as possible and send her to the Princess's residence." Lan Yue pointed to the four guards behind her, handed them over to Yu Kangjing, and then hurriedly returned to the Princess's residence to report back.

"You brat, you're actually two-faced!" The old Marquis glared at Yu Kangjing, unsure of what to say.

He clearly ordered that the demon to be sent away, but the third brother secretly sent someone to follow him.

“Father, if I hadn’t been outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant, where would we have found the princess if she wanted someone?” Yu Kangjing rarely spoke back.

"You!" The old Marquis, unable to win an argument, stormed off in anger.

Yu Kangjing and Shen Jinzhu, along with their guards, anxiously awaited the servant's return.

An hour later, the servant Tiandong rushed back in a hurry.

"Master, Madam, the Second Miss has been taken to the Drunken Flower Pavilion by that old Taoist priest."

His words startled Mr. and Mrs. Yu Kangjing.

"what?!"

The couple were completely taken aback.

Zuihualou was a brothel.

Yaoyao is just a one-year-old child. What are you trying to do by sending her to a brothel?

……

Inside the Drunken Flower Pavilion.

The Taoist priest in the yellow robe was discussing business with the madam.

“Look at this child, she will surely be a beauty of unparalleled grace when she grows up. If you keep her and nurture her carefully, it is not impossible for your Drunken Flower Pavilion to produce another world-renowned courtesan.”

The madam touched Yu Ningyao's smooth and tender skin, examining her thoroughly inside and out.

Then, she spoke slowly and deliberately: "She has a natural charm and is indeed a good prospect. However, raising a child will cost a lot of money. If she dies halfway through, all the money I have invested will be wasted."

"Besides, your background is unclear. If your family comes looking for you, I'll be at a huge loss."

"I only want twenty taels of silver from you. You won't lose out." The yellow-robed Taoist continued to haggle with the madam.

“This child was abandoned by her family. Please have mercy and take her in. Giving her food and water is better than her living a life of hardship with this old Taoist priest.”

“I run a brothel, not an orphanage.” The madam remained unmoved.

"You said it yourself, this child is naturally alluring. When she grows up, it's not impossible for her to earn you a fortune every day. And if you raise her from a young age, she will see you as her own mother and become your most obedient dog. What a worthwhile deal!" The yellow-robed Taoist continued to persuade her.

He planned to leave the capital.

This child is really in the way; it would be better to sell her.

If sold to ordinary people, it could fetch at most one or two taels of silver.

But if sold to a brothel, the price would be much higher.

Does this boss have X-ray vision? I'm all chubby now, how could she possibly see that I have a natural allure?

[Oh dear, they actually sold me to a brothel. So, I guess I'll have to go down the path of selling my art, not my body, charm a bunch of people, and then wait for the Crown Prince to redeem me? Then I'll go and wreak havoc in the palace intrigue.]

【You're the dog! Bah! You dog-like Taoist priest, I'll kill you when I grow up!】

Yu Ningyao listened to the conversation between the Taoist priest and the madam and couldn't help but complain in her heart.

system:……

It's good that the host is so open-minded.

It doesn't need any comforting.

After a long tug-of-war between the madam and the yellow-robed Taoist priest, they finally bought Yu Ningyao for ten taels of silver.

"Little girl, you'd better live a good life. I'm counting on you to make me a lot of money." The madam hugged Yu Ningyao and pinched her little cheek.

"Make a lot of money." Yu Ningyao spit out a bubble of saliva and imitated her speech.

"Oh my, this little girl is quite clever." The madam was very surprised. She didn't expect that when the child saw a stranger like her, she would not cry or make a fuss, but would even imitate her speech.

"Say it again, make money, make a lot of money for Mother." She teased Yu Ningyao with a smile, as if she had discovered a new treasure.

"Make a lot of money." Yu Ningyao grinned.

My stomach made a "gurgling" sound.

The madam was overjoyed and immediately called over one of her servants.

"Go, go quickly and buy some milk."

After she finished speaking, she felt it was too slow.

"My little darling is hungry. Make some chicken porridge first, and I'll feed her myself."

The madam held Yu Ningyao in her arms, looking into her smiling eyes, and for the first time in a long time, she felt the feeling of being a mother. A feeling of tenderness inexplicably rose in her heart.

The system had to admit it was impressive:

[With this mindset, you'll succeed at anything.]

Even if she ends up in a brothel, she'll likely eventually become a favored concubine in the palace.

Soon, the chicken porridge was served.

The madam blew on the food until it was lukewarm enough to eat, before feeding it to Yu Ningyao's lips.

"Ah, open your mouth~"

Yu Ningyao obediently opened her mouth and ate.

The maidservant serving nearby stared wide-eyed at the sight: "This child is so well-behaved. I wonder which family is so heartless as to abandon her."

"That's because they don't know its value," the madam snorted.

If this were her daughter, she would love her to the core.

"You don't know what you're missing!" Yu Ningyao repeated the madam's words clearly and accurately.

This made the two of them burst into laughter.

“That’s right, those people just don’t know what’s good for them. My little darling is so sweet.” The madam pinched the tip of her nose and continued to feed her porridge affectionately.

After eating and drinking her fill, Yu Ningyao yawned.

Just as she was about to go to sleep, she saw the servant who had gone to buy her milk earlier rushing in.

"Mom, something terrible has happened! People from Princess Ning Le's residence have come to demand our people back!"

Yu Ningyao's eyes widened in surprise.

Wow, good heavens! After waiting for so long, it turns out to be the princess's people.

Could it be that he's holding a grudge against her for peeing all over her and is now settling scores?
