Chapter 061: The Place to Go

"You were the one who said you would sell yourself to bury your mother. Now I've given your mother a grand funeral, and you want to break the contract."

Wen Ruyue sneered.

"I...I just can't disobey my mother's orders. As long as you don't sign the indenture, Madam, I will do anything you ask of me."

Jiang Rouer begged desperately.

Wen Ruyue snorted lightly. She had been played around by me in her previous life, and now she was still a little girl, and she wanted to play tricks on me!

Too lazy to waste words with her.

She waved her hand and told Qingzhu: "Since she doesn't want to, then send her to the government. We will do whatever the government decides."

"Yes, ma'am." Qingzhu went up to pull her.

Rou'er shuddered with fear.

There are two mouths under the character "官".

If you don't have money, don't come in.

If she is sentenced to prison, not only will her innocence be ruined, but she will also never be able to marry the prince in this life.

Now, signing a contract to sell oneself is the best option.

Jiang Rouer sat down on the ground with a pale face, stammering, "Sign, I sign!"

With trembling hands, she wrote her name on the contract and pressed her fingerprints.

Wen Ruyue shook the freshly-issued indenture and looked down at Jiang Rouer.

With a cold sneer.

This kind of scum dares to covet my man.

You are only worthy of being Wen Yan's good sister.

Wen Ruyue stood up with the help of her maid: "Get dressed and wash up, I will take you to a good place later."

When Rou'er heard the words "good place", she thought of brothels.

She resisted violently on the spot.

She made a big fuss and said she would rather die than become a prostitute.

She rushed to the window and said, "If Madam insists on forcing a good girl into prostitution, I will jump out of the window immediately. Madam, you wouldn't want to see blood on your wedding day! It would also be bad to have a bad reputation for forcing an orphan to death."

"Just jump, it would be best if blood splatters three feet away, so that my shop's business will be booming." Wen Ruyue was amused by her.

"I just don't want to be a prostitute, why are you forcing me!"

Wen Ruyue said impatiently, "Why are you trying to commit suicide? Just for your face, I can't bear to send you to that kind of place. Don't worry, I will send you to be a scholar's wife. As long as you are loyal to me, you will have a good life in the future."

Scholar’s ​​wife?

Rou'er thought about it and remembered the rumors about the real and fake daughter.

Could it be that Wen Ruyue wanted to force herself to be a concubine of that poor scholar whom even she despised?

No, not a concubine.

She insisted on signing the indenture contract just to control herself.

She sent herself there to be a spy.

Since I'm a spy, I need to report the situation to her from time to time. When I go in and out of the Marquis' Mansion, do you still worry about not having the opportunity?

Rou'er felt a little relieved.

He cooperated very well and followed Qingzhu to wash and change clothes.

Qingzhu told her what Ying Zhilin liked and disliked: "As long as you can make that family live in chaos, my wife will not treat you unfairly."

Wen Yan and Meng Chifei went shopping and ate. As it was getting late, they returned home with a lot of things.

From a distance, I saw a carriage parked in front of the Meng residence.

There were groups of people around joining in the fun.

Meng Chifei thought it was someone from the Ministry of War looking for his elder brother, but Wen Yan said, "It's Wen Ruyue's carriage."

"Wen Ruyue? Why is she looking for you again! Should I go and beat her up right now?" Meng Chifei began to roll up his sleeves.

She has wanted to beat Wen Ruyue for a long time.

Wen Yan grabbed her arm: "Let's go meet her."

As she spoke, she walked towards the Meng family's gate.

As she approached, a maid stood in front of the carriage and called her loudly: "Wen Yan, my wife wants to see you for something, please come here quickly."

Meng Chifei clenched his fists at the maid's commanding tone.

Wen Yan did not move: "I dare not get on your carriage. If you have anything to say, please come out and tell me."

"You...don't be ungrateful!" The maid glared angrily, "Don't forget your status. If you offend the eldest lady, the Wen family will really abandon you."

"If everything is fine, sister, I'll go back first." Wen Yan said and was about to leave.

Then a voice came from the carriage: "Sister, are you still blaming me for getting married? It was you who wanted to marry Ying Xiucai in the first place, but now..."

Wen Ruyue lifted the curtain and pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief in a wronged manner, wiping away the tears that didn't exist at all.

When the people around heard this, they were shocked.

It turns out that Wen Yan herself wanted to marry the poor scholar!

Everyone thought that the Wen family forced her.

It turns out that everyone was deceived by Wen Yan!

Wen Yan asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Eldest sister, when did I ever say that I regretted marrying my husband?

My elder sister doesn't like peasants, and your carriage is so luxurious. I'm just afraid that my poverty will make it dirty."

Wen Ruyue: “…” What a sharp-tongued person!

She suppressed her anger, forced a smile, and talked about business: "You grew up in my family, you have been well-dressed and well-fed since childhood, and you have never touched water in the countryside. If you suddenly marry and move to the countryside, you will definitely not be able to adapt.

It just so happens that I bought a smart maid today, so I thought of giving her to you so that you don’t have to work so hard.

Why don't you go down and meet your new master?"

Immediately following.

The curtain was lifted, and Jiang Rouer bowed and got out of the carriage.

Wen Ruyue instructed Rouer: "From today on, you will stay with my sister and take good care of her, understand?"

Rou'er lowered her eyebrows and replied compliantly, "Yes."

The onlookers were all praising Wen Ruyue for her kindness.

Even though her identity was stolen, she not only did not feel any resentment, but was actually very caring towards the person who stole her identity.

Wen Yan sneered in his heart.

It turns out that Wen Ruyue wanted to send someone here to disgust herself!

Meng Chifei was just about to ask who wanted the maid she sent.

"Thank you very much, sister." Wen Yan smiled and spread her hands in front of Wen Ruyue.

Wen Ruyue frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Sister, won't you give me her indenture?"

Wen Ruyue froze.

Wen Yan laughed. "If she doesn't sell herself to someone else, her life and future are all in the hands of my eldest sister. How can she be truly loyal to me? Or is my eldest sister's asking her to take care of me fake? She just wants her to monitor my every move!"

The plan was exposed in public.

Wen Ruyue's face trembled, and she forced a smile: "How could that be? I just didn't react for a moment."

She gritted her teeth and took out the indenture.

Wen Yan took the indenture and waved to the Meng family's doorman.

A doorman came running over: "Miss Wen Yan, what can I do for you?"

Wen Yan handed him the indenture contract and said, "The Jingzhao government hasn't closed yet. Take this Miss Jiang Rou'er with you to exchange the indenture contract."

"Yes." The doorman said sternly and pulled Jiang Rouer away.

Wen Ruyue's face twitched. The indenture she gave to Wen Yan was fake.

But with Jiang Rouer herself going to the yamen to exchange the deed, the fake one became real.

However, Wen Ruyue was not worried that Jiang Rouer would betray her.

As long as Jiang Rouer doesn't give up on the prince, she will be a good spy.

"The person has been sent here, so I will leave first." Wen Ruyue lowered the curtain, and the carriage slowly drove out.

Meng Chifei looked at the carriage going away and said worriedly, "That Jiang Rou'er's eyes are rolling around, and she looks restless. Do you really want to keep her by your side?"

"It's a shame to keep such a beautiful face with me. I will send her to where she should go."
