The merchant's rebirth led to the complete downfall of the Marquis's mansion.

Handsome Men's Studio

Today is the day the newlyweds are officially announced. Jiang Zu... no... now she should be called Yu Jing, has changed into a red veil and slowly walked onto the stage with the crowd.

There are more than 10 people like him.

They wore different colored gauze shirts, their chests exposed, like animals being chosen in a cage.

Behind them, people were holding up signs with their names on them.

Opposite them was a group of men with ruddy faces, who were eyeing them with lewd looks.

This was the first time Jiang Zu had suffered such an insult.

But he didn't even dare to die.

Those people said that if he didn't want to, he should send his sister instead. They had spent a lot of money to buy them, so they had to make a profit.

Anyway, some people just like younger people, so they buy out the entire purchase price at once.

Even if he dies, his sister's fate will not change.

On the contrary, if he had listened to him, his sister would have been fine.

He knew he shouldn't gamble, but now he didn't know what else he could do but obey.

The people below have already started choosing their favorites, and they are discussing it loudly without any restraint.

Who has a good figure, who has a pretty face, who has smooth skin...

Jiang Zu knew what he was about to face, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Although he was a servant, he still had some dignity after serving the young master for so many years.

What's more terrifying than death is the complete lack of dignity.

He has no choice.

Bidding begins.

There were only about 10 people in total, so with more monks than porridge, it was naturally the highest bidder who got it.

Jiang Zu dared not raise his head. There were fewer and fewer people around him until it was finally his turn.

"Yujing... fifteen years old! A young servant boy attending to a nobleman, starting bid 50 taels!!!"

Everyone was surprised by what the pimp said.

There were some items priced over 100 taels, but the starting price was only 30 taels, which is too high.

The people below were talking about it.

"Esteemed guests, please hear me out: the price of Yujing is absolutely indefinite."

The pimp pointed upwards and continued:

"Serving a nobleman closely, with such a complexion and figure, this young man from a high-ranking family must be different..."

The pimp spoke cryptically, but the unspoken meaning in his words left everyone with much to ponder.

Those who could come here were no ordinary people, and they agreed on the spot.

The atmosphere became lively again.

Jiang Zu felt as if he had been stripped naked and was standing on the street, being looked at and picked over by everyone.

Everyone was bidding against each other, and Jiang Zu had become a hot commodity.

Of course, the higher the price they offer, the more outrageous they become.

A burly man with a full beard stood up and shouted, "Stop fighting! I'll offer 500 taels!"

Seeing the burly man, everyone tacitly shut up; the price had just risen to 200 taels.

Is this jumpy really necessary?!

Moreover, those who wanted to raise the price were pulled down by the people next to them.

This person is not to be trifled with.

Most of the people who came had heard of this bearded old man; behind him was the heir of the Prince of Zhennan.

Everyone fell silent and waited to take the next picture.

The bearded old man won the heart of the beauty.

Jiang Zu was numbly led downstairs and thrown into a room on the third floor.

The room was decorated, with red everywhere.

Especially the bed closest to him, covered with a red carpet and hung with red cloth, looked just like a wedding bed.

Jiang Zu stood up and backed away; at that moment, his fear reached its peak.

He ran over to try and open the door, but the two thugs outside threw him back in.

He ran to pull the window, but the windowsill was impossible to move.

Knowing he was doomed, Jiang Zu's eyes were vacant, and he sat down heavily on the ground.

If he commits suicide after today, will his sister be alright?

"Bang!" The door was kicked open.

Jiang Zusheng looked up with utter despair.

Then, the bearded man who had been sitting in the audience staggered in.

"Keep drinking! Close the door! Don't eavesdrop! Come on! Let's keep drinking!"

The man held a wine glass in his hand, squinting as he looked in Jiang Zu's direction.

"Come here, my beauty!"

Jiang Zu retreated, his legs trembling.

"Don't... don't come here!"

The man did not stop, but continued walking towards him step by step.

Jiang Zu turned and ran, with the man chasing after him.

Soon, Jiang Zu was cornered.

The man grinned lewdly, threw down his wine glass, grabbed him, and carried him to the bed despite his struggles.

"Let me go! Let me go!" Jiang Zu struggled and shouted.

Just now, he was still fantasizing that maybe the person who bought him was actually a good person, and maybe he could talk to him and get his money back.

As long as he can let him go.

But who would have thought that a drunkard would walk in, and he couldn't communicate with him normally at all.

"Don't be afraid, beauty. Everyone in this building knows my reputation. I'll protect you from now on and make sure you live a life of luxury!"

The man then pressed down on her.

A disgusting stench assaulted their senses, and Jiang Zu struggled even more fiercely, his face constantly shifting from side to side.

The man lost his patience.

A crisp "snap!" rang out.

Five red finger marks immediately appeared on Jiang Zu's face.

"You're asking for it! Behave yourself, or I'll throw you out here and have a thousand men ride you!"

After making the threat, the man bent down again.

Jiang Zu clenched his fists and resignedly closed his eyes.

"Bang!" The door was kicked open again.

The burly man turned around angrily.

"Who, who dares to ruin my good time!"

"boom!"

With a muffled groan, Jiang Zu suddenly felt a refreshing sensation throughout his body, and his vision was filled with light.

"Can you get up?" a cold voice rang out.

Upon opening his eyes, Jiang Zu was met with a pair of pitch-black eyes.

……

In the dead of night, in a remote farmhouse in the suburbs, Jiang Zu changed into coarse clothes and sat nervously in a chair.

Jiang Zu looked uneasily at the woman at the door.

She's really something; she knocked him unconscious with a vase and then swaggered out with him.

Although she didn't say a word the whole way.

But for no apparent reason, he believed she wouldn't hurt him.

Upon arriving here, she handed herself a set of clothes and then stood at the door, seemingly waiting for something.

Just as Jiang Zu was at a loss and about to speak, the sound of a carriage came from outside.

The woman, who had been leaning against the door frame, straightened up immediately and reached the front door in a few steps.

Jiang Zu also stood up, but after walking to the door, he was unsure whether he should go any further.

"Brother!" A clear, cheerful voice woke Jiang Zu.

Yan'er had already rushed over from the gate.

Jiang Zu stepped forward and pulled her into his arms.

"Soldier!"

"Soldier!"

Jiang Zu looked up and saw his parents walking towards him, their steps faltering.

The two looked haggard, and their legs were somewhat weak.

"Father! Mother!" Jiang Zu almost burst into tears.

His parents worked in the Marquis's mansion their whole lives. Although they were not wealthy, they were healthy and had a certain reputation.

Where have you ever seen someone dressed in such tattered clothes, with a dirty face and difficulty walking?

Jiang Zu crawled a few steps on his knees, and the family of four embraced and wept bitterly.

Footsteps were heard behind me.

The four of them stopped crying and turned to look at them.

Qin Yao, dressed in a gorgeous blue dress, seemed out of place among them.

It was Jiang Zu's mother who reacted first.

"Come! Zu'er, Yan'er, come and thank Miss for saving our lives."

Yan'er obediently knelt down.

"Miss Qin?" Jiang Zu looked at the person in front of him in surprise.

He considered many possibilities: Did the Jiang family have a change of heart? Or did someone intervene to help those in need?

But he never imagined he would see Miss Qin.

In the blink of an eye, he realized it wasn't surprising.

He had been following the young master and was quite familiar with Miss Qin. The young master disliked Miss Qin in every way, but he knew that Miss Qin was very kind.

You can tell from the maids and servants around her that she treats her servants very well.

"Miss Qin, Jiang Zu kowtows to you here!"

"Yan'er also kowtows to you..."

Jiang Zu's parents also bowed down to her.

Jiang Zu's mother: "Yes, yes, thank you, Miss, for saving us."

Jiang Zu's father: "Thank you, Miss!"

Qin Yao told them all to stand up before asking Jiang Zu:

Do you still want to keep the surname Jiang?
