Chapter 198 First Arrival at the Fan Family

These words almost made the young man vomit blood in anger, and he rolled up his sleeves and was ready to fight.

"Can you please stop pretending to be stupid with me? Do you really think that if your daughter becomes a concubine, you will be able to rise to the top?

Let me tell you, you are nothing to me. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will wake you up first."

As a scholar, when had Chen Zhancai ever suffered such humiliation?

At this time, the gatekeeper humiliated and threatened him, and he felt that his dignity was trampled upon, and his face suddenly turned red.

He wanted to argue with the servant again, but he was afraid that the servant would really hit him, so he was so scared that his legs went limp.

He pointed at the servant tremblingly and kept saying "you, you, you" for a long time before finally saying, "You are such a disgrace!"

Liu Fengjiao was extremely angry. She felt that the Fan family was really going too far, but she did not dare to say anything. After all, the Fan family had a bad reputation. If the servant went wild, her man would definitely suffer.

Forget it, as long as Ruolan can enter the house smoothly, I will endure this anger.

She hurried forward to persuade him, "Young man, calm down and don't argue with him. It's us who don't know the rules. Please lead the way, we will follow you."

"You're smart, come with me!" The servant led a few people to the side door and stopped, saying to Chen Zhancai and his wife, "I'll drop you off here, you two can leave now."

Liu Fengjiao was stunned. "My dear, today is the auspicious day for my daughter's wedding. We have to go in and take a look no matter what. We can't just leave like this!"

"What are you doing in there? Do you want a reward?"

"No, no, no, that's not what we meant. We just want to meet Master Fan."

"Master Fan is also someone you can see whenever you want, so just go back to where you came from!" The servant said, glancing at Chen Zhancai with a sarcastic look.

"Don't take yourself too seriously. My master has many fathers-in-law. It's not your turn to show off here."

Liu Fengjiao was unhappy. The Fan family was really going too far. Not only was there no joy at all when their daughter got married, but they also made things so difficult for them.

At this moment, she really didn't want to let her daughter enter the Fan family, but she was reluctant to give up the money she had received.

My daughter's innocence has been ruined by Fan Tong. If she doesn't become his concubine, she will probably have no place to live in the future.

If I enter the Fan family, this road will probably not be easy to walk on. Now I am really in a dilemma.

Liu Fengjiao said with red eyes, "Brother, we don't have any other intentions. We just want to send our daughter in person."

"Stop talking nonsense. If you can't bear to part with your daughter, take her back immediately. Don't waste my time here."

Chen Zhancai's face turned pale. In the past, he relied on his status as a scholar and felt superior wherever he went.

Now he was actually despised by the servant, and he was angry and annoyed, but he dared not say anything.

After a long while, he stammered, "You, you, you are so vulgar, it's really a disgrace to society!"

"You poor bastard, why are you pretending to be so arrogant? You can't even control your own daughter, yet you're pretending to be polite. Aren't you ashamed?" The servant rolled his eyes impatiently. "Hurry up and give me a firm answer whether you're coming in or not. I'm still waiting for my wife's reply!"

Chen Zhancai looked gloomy. He had thought that if his daughter could become Fan Tong's concubine, he would be able to hold his head high, but he didn't expect that he was not even worthy of entering the Fan family's door.

He secretly vowed that he would pass the imperial examination next year and make those who looked down on him regret it...

He suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Feng Jiao, let's just send her here and let Ruolan go in by herself!"

Liu Fengjiao's eyes were full of helplessness. She gently took Chen Ruolan's hand and whispered,

"Ruolan, a wealthy family has many rules. Your parents can only send you here. From now on, you will have to rely on yourself."

Chen Ruolan's eyes were already red. How could this be different from what she had imagined? Every girl's wedding was filled with fanfare and excitement, but why did it become so cold and lonely when it came to her? She was even worse than the silly Erni in the village.

She said in a trembling voice, "Mom, I'm scared."

"What are you afraid of? Didn't your mother teach you before? Men are afraid of three flirts, and women are afraid of three flirts. As long as you can make Mr. Fan happy, even if you poke a hole in the sky, there will be people to support you."

"Will that work?"

"Sure, why not? As long as you're a man, there's nothing you can't do. It'll definitely work a hundred times."

Seeing that they were talking endlessly, the servant became a little impatient and said, "Are you guys going to finish yet? Hurry up, my wife is waiting!"

Liu Fengjiao smiled and said, "That's good, that's good."

After saying that, he waved his hand towards Chen Ruolan and said, "Go in quickly. Remember what mother said and be well."

Chen Ruolan couldn't help feeling a little timid. She turned around to look at Liu Fengjiao, lowered her head, and silently followed the servant's instructions into Fan's house.

Seeing her daughter go in, Liu Fengjiao wiped away her tears, "My poor daughter, I can't bear to leave you!"

Chen Zhancai patted her shoulder gently and said, "It's okay, Fengjiao. Our daughter is smart and won't suffer. Don't worry!"

"I hope so." Liu Fengjiao sighed softly.

******

As soon as she entered the yard, Chen Ruolan was deeply attracted by everything in front of her.

The courtyard has winding corridors, the ground is paved with stone slabs, and there is a small pond with beautiful goldfish swimming around.

She was dazzled by everything she saw.

This is where she will live from now on. It is like a fairyland. If she can gain Fan Tong's favor, she will be in a blessed place...

The servant led her to a side room and said, "Come in, this will be your room from now on."

Chen Ruolan bowed and thanked him, then gently opened the door and walked in.

The interior of the house was simply furnished, with only a bed and a few cabinets.

She slowly walked to the bed and sat down, thinking about her mother's words, feeling mixed emotions. She was alone in this strange room, feeling restless.

After an unknown amount of time, the door was suddenly pushed open and a maid walked in. "Fifth Aunt, the Madam wants you to come over."

Chen Ruolan's heart skipped a beat. She knew that wealthy families had to serve tea to the mistress when they took concubines, so it must be no good if they came to her now. But she had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow the maid out.

When they arrived at the main hall, Mrs. Fan was sitting upright on a chair with a gloomy face.

The maid hurriedly whispered to Chen Ruolan behind her, "This is Madam Fan. Hurry and pay your respects."

Chen Ruolan hurried forward to greet the lady, "My humble daughter Ruolan pays respects to the Madam."

Mrs. Fan frowned and glanced at Chen Ruolan expressionlessly. Seeing that she was wearing red clothes, she couldn't help but get furious. "She really doesn't know the rules. Someone, take off her clothes."

After receiving the order, the two maids beside him stepped forward and were about to take action.

Chen Ruolan didn't know what she had done wrong, so she quickly shouted, "Stop! Why are you stripping me?"

"Why?" An older maid snorted coldly, "You take yourself too seriously. You even dare to wear red clothes. Don't you know that concubines are only fit to wear pink clothes? Take them off quickly, or we will not be polite!"

"Today is my wedding day, and I must wear a red wedding dress." Chen Ruolan had never suffered such injustice before, and she started to lose her temper...
