The Story of a Spoiled Daughter Raising a Husband

After a long while, Tong Qian raised her head and glanced outside. It seemed that it was almost dark, so she called Yun'er in.

"How are you? Are you still outside?" Tong Qian asked.

Yun'er got angry just thinking about it, but she couldn't say anything. She could only nod. "They're waiting outside. They said they won't leave until they see you. Qian'er, how can there be such a shameless person in this world? They've already done so many wrong things, yet they still have the nerve to come here."

"What's so strange about that?" Tong Qian chuckled lightly, then smiled faintly, showing no surprise whatsoever.

That's how a "white lotus" is; no matter how you treat her, she can always put on a pitiful act and beg for your forgiveness.

However, Tong Qian is not a saint; she's not the kind of person who will forgive everything just because you cry a little.

"Alright, since she's been waiting outside for so long, let's go see her." Tong Qian said, and then walked out.

Yun'er followed behind in a huff, but she was still unconvinced.

Outside, Su Yun knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face. "Miss Qian'er, I know it was all my fault for being confused and doing something wrong. You can hit me or scold me, but please let me stay."

She spoke without any shame, as if what she had done wrong was not a big deal.

Tong Qian's eyes darkened, then she glanced at Su Yun, a cold smile creeping onto her face.

Even so, she still wanted to stay. She wasn't stupid. Everyone knew his intentions were as clear as day, so how could she continue to keep such a menace in the mansion?

"Oh? You'll stay?" Tong Qian asked back, then glanced at her.

Upon hearing this, Su Yun quickly nodded and said, "Yes, please let me stay. I can do anything."

"Can you serve tea and water, do laundry, and cook? Can you gather firewood and start a fire?"

Upon hearing her say that, Tong Qian immediately asked.

Su Yun was stunned by the direct question and timidly asked, "Wasn't that made by the maid?"

She was pampered by the opera troupe since she was a child, so how could she know how to do those things?

“Yes, it was made by a maid.” Tong Qian nodded, seemingly not finding anything wrong with it. “Since you want to stay, it means you want to leave the opera troupe. If you leave the opera troupe, then what right do you have to stay? You can only be a maid, oh right, the lowest-ranking maid.”

Hearing this, Yun'er, who was standing to the side, almost burst out laughing while trying not to.

Tong Qian is truly formidable; she struck at the heart of the matter right away, leaving the person speechless.

Su Yun knelt awkwardly on the ground, unsure of what to say.

She wanted to stay simply because she admired the grandeur of the Ji residence, but if she were to become a maid here, her life would be ruined!

Judging from Ji Xiuping's previous attitude towards her, she knew that she definitely couldn't expect to hook up with Ji Xiuping and rise to a higher social status.

"But how come Ji Quan is allowed to stay? Do you want him to be a servant?" Su Yun said, still unwilling to give up.

Tong Qian nodded, thought about the matter very seriously, and then said, "Indeed, Ji Quan can stay, but don't forget, this is the Ji residence. Since he changed his surname to Ji, he is Xiu Ping's brother, my brother-in-law. Why can't he stay?"

Her words directly elevated Ji Quan's status.

No matter what Su Yun says, Ji Quan has indeed taken the surname Ji. So if Tong Qian is willing, she can naturally make Ji Quan Ji Xiuping's brother.

"But, if that's the case, then I can also..."

Before Su Yun could finish speaking, Yun'er interrupted her, saying, "What can you do? Can you be Young Master Ji's sister or Qian'er's sister? Don't you even know if you're worthy?"

Such a shameless person is truly challenging other people's bottom line time and time again. Just as she was about to say those words, Yun'er quickly interrupted her.

She didn't want to hear Su Yun say anything about being Qian'er's sister or Young Master Ji's sister.

She wasn't ashamed; she was disgusted.

Tong Qian's eyebrows curved slightly, seemingly quite satisfied with Yun'er's words.

Su Yun blushed with anger at these words, but dared not say another word.

Indeed, she did have such thoughts, but given all the terrible things she had done, how could such a situation be possible?

Tong Qian shook her head and said to Su Yun, "What you did was enough for me to report you to the authorities and have you arrested. I didn't do that only because of our friendship with the opera troupe. But if you keep challenging my bottom line, I won't hesitate to disregard our friendship."

She had already said such harsh words that even someone like Su Yun had no face to stay any longer and could only slink back home.

Yun'er felt incredibly relieved after watching Su Yun leave. She had disliked Su Yun for a long time, but had always been restrained by the opera troupe and dared not openly confront her.

Now, she's finally leaving.

"Alright, calm down. Anyone who didn't know better would think you're getting married," Tong Qian said to Yun'er.

Upon hearing this, Yun'er quickly touched her face, then realized that Tong Qian was teasing her.

However, seeing that Su Yun was finally leaving, Yun'er didn't hold it against her at all. She just said to Tong Qian, "You have no idea how long I've put up with her."

Tong Qian simply nodded, not paying any attention to what Yun'er had said.

In her eyes, Su Yun was nothing more than a green tea bitch, and she never took green tea to heart.

However, seeing how happy Yun'er was, Tong Qian didn't say anything.

Soon, the location for the opera troupe was decided. Since everything was prepared, all that was needed was to move there, so Tong Qian was not worried.

The troupe leader felt ashamed to face Tong Qian, so he didn't say goodbye and simply led the troupe away.

Ji Ling and Ji Quan were partners, and now that his partner was leaving, Ji Quan was somewhat reluctant to part with her.

"What are you doing? Even if I leave, we'll still perform together in the future," Ji Ling said with a smile.

It only means the opera troupe is asked to leave, not that they're forbidden from staying at the teahouse. Besides, they stopped rehearsing at the Ji residence a long time ago; the teahouse has a special courtyard specifically for the opera troupe to rehearse.

Ji Quan nodded and said nothing more.

The two of them had lived together before, and now that they suddenly have to separate, it's understandable that they'd feel reluctant to part ways.

Suppressing his reluctance, Ji Quan let the opera troupe leave.

Even though they had a good relationship, Tong Qian didn't come out to see him off, because seeing him off would create a lot of awkwardness.
