There are consequences to being a traitorous official.
First: Being born into a loyal official's family. She felt out of place and uncomfortable all over.
Second: Following her loya...
Although Su Xiaoya knew they wouldn't believe her, she still explained, "I'm not lying to you. I never expected the Yun family to take a liking to me. Really, I swear."
The girls said in unison, "We don't believe you. You've been using us all along."
"I didn't, really, I swear."
“Swearing won’t help; we don’t believe you.”
"Then...then what do you want?" Paying back the money was out of the question; she had run so much running around keeping an eye on Twelve and Thirteen that her legs had become thin.
The girls didn't really want Su Xiaoya to pay them back.
The girls pulled Su Xiaoya to the backyard and whispered:
"Yun Shisan is not engaged yet."
“Yun Shisi is not young anymore.”
"The eldest son of the Black family is quite handsome."
"Young Master Mu is quite nice too."
...
The girls talked about all the eligible boys in the Yun family, the eligible grandsons of the Yun family, and the eldest sons of Lao Hei and Lao Bai.
After saying that, he looked at Su Xiaoya and asked, "Do you understand what we mean?"
I understand. But, “I can’t reveal their whereabouts to you. I had no connection with the Yun family before, and it was fine for me to make a little money by revealing the whereabouts of Yun Twelve and Yun Thirteen. Now I’m a member of the Yun family, and if I tell you their whereabouts, then I’m a traitor. I’m not going to be a traitor.”
The girls all tried to persuade Su Xiaoya:
"How did he become a traitor?"
“We don’t do anything else, we just want to see them more often, and maybe they’ll remember us if we see them more often.”
"Yeah, isn't it because you're always hanging around in front of Yun Twelve that Yun Twelve took a liking to you?"
"Yes. Just tell us, and we'll give you money."
...
The girls tried to persuade Su Xiaoya for a long time, but Su Xiaoya firmly refused. The girls had no choice but to settle for second best.
"Then when you marry into the Yun family, please invite us to visit the Yun family."
Su Xiaoya was willing to agree to that. However, "I need the consent of my elders, and I can't invite you out to play every now and then. I need to have a legitimate reason to invite you out to play."
"All right."
The girls chatted with Su Xiaoya for a while longer before leaving, buying quite a few things before they left.
Su Xiaoya wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Phew... finally done. Time to get back to work."
On the rooftop, Hei Bao and her group of friends heard Su Xiaoya say that if she continued to provide information about Thirteen and the others' whereabouts to those girls after marrying into the Yun family, then she would be a traitor. They all thought Su Xiaoya was alright.
Fourteen tugged at Blackie's sleeve. "Can we go now?"
When Fourteen was born, the Yun family had a batch of girls. Fourteen was afraid that they would misbehave with Hei Bao, so Fourteen grew up hanging out with Hei Bao and the others.
Hei Bao thought for a moment: "Wait a little longer."
"What are we waiting for? Everyone's gone."
Hei Bao glanced at Fourteen. "Can't you come back once you leave?"
"..." He was looked down upon by this little girl again.
Sure enough, someone returned shortly after.
Fourteen: "..." He's actually inferior to a little girl? He really needs to reflect on himself. "Blackie, how did you know someone would come back?"
“Miss Su used to smear her reputation to make money, so someone will definitely try to tempt her with money.”
Sure enough, the girl who returned spoke a few words to Su Xiaoya and then took out a silver note worth ten thousand taels of silver from her pocket. "This is for your dowry."
Su Xiaoya was startled. "I can't accept it, take it back immediately, take it back immediately."
The girl smiled. "I know the Yun family is wealthy, but no matter how wealthy the Yun family is, it will never fall into your hands. The dowry I give you is different; you can spend it however you want, and give it to whomever you want."
"I don't want you to do anything outrageous for me, I just want you to invite me to the Yun family more often."
Then Su Xiaoya is also not acceptable.
He who takes a bribe is beholden to it.
Also, how much good karma did she accumulate in her past life to be able to marry into the Yun family?
She can't let greed ruin her good luck.
Su Xiaoya looked at the girl and said, "I won't take it. I'll get angry if you insist on giving it to me."
"I mean well. No matter how rich the Yun family is, they will never let you subsidize your maternal family."
"I didn't intend to use the Yun family's money to support my maternal family. I can earn my own money. You'd better put the banknotes away now. If you don't, I'll really get angry."
Seeing that Su Xiaoya didn't seem to be lying, the girl had no choice but to put the silver note away. "Alright. You're not going to refuse to invite me to the Yun family's house just because of this, are you?"
"No, no. You don't have any bad intentions; you just want to marry into a good family."
The girl felt relieved. "Then I won't bother you anymore."
"I send you."
"No need. You go ahead with your work." The girl winked at Su Xiaoya. "You still need to earn a dowry for your sister."
Su Xiaoya laughed as soon as she heard that. "Yes, yes, I still need to earn a dowry for my sister."
After the girl left, Su Xiaoya rubbed her hands together. "So tempting! Time to get to work!"
After saying that, Su Xiaoya went off to get busy.
On the rooftop, Fourteen asked in a low voice, "Can we leave now?"
"Wait a little longer. What that girl could think of, other girls can think of too."
Sure enough, another girl returned shortly afterward.
This time, Su Xiaoya still didn't accept it.
A total of five girls returned.
Su Xiaoya would never accept it; instead, she would rub her hands together and say, "It looks so tempting! Let's get to work!"
The next day, Sisi was lying in a rocking chair, basking in the sun, eating fruit, and watching Ning Yirong and his three sons fight.
