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...
No.
"Then eat a few pancakes first. There are still some in the bag. You've gambled away the Third Young Mistress's dowry and her body to Chang Le Fang. Let's hide for a while. We'll go to the kitchen to get some food after this is over."
As soon as she finished speaking, the steward came in with several maids, each carrying something.
The housekeeper immediately bowed to Aunt Feng upon arrival. "Greetings, Aunt Feng and Miss. I've brought you some fruit and snacks for you to have a little something to eat. The meal will be ready in a bit."
Aunt Feng: "..." Is it poisonous?
Sisi: "Okay, put it down."
"Yes, Miss. I'll take my leave now. Please call me if you need anything."
"Um."
As soon as the steward left, Aunt Feng looked at Sisi and asked, "Did he want to poison us?"
Sisi: "Grandma Yun and the others told him to keep an eye on me and not let me go out."
Old Bai took a piece of apple and threw it into his mouth. "Your daughter just caused such a big mess. If something happens to you two next, the Yun family and the Sun family will never be able to clear their names, no matter what."
Too.
Aunt Feng took a grape. "Old Hei, you have one too."
Old Hei wouldn't eat it; he thought it was too sweet. "How much silver did you ask Chang Le Fang for?"
Sisi: "One hundred thousand taels."
Old Black: "Not bad."
Aunt Feng: "Cough cough... 100,000 taels?!"
Sisi took out a silver note and gave one to Aunt Feng and one to Lao Hei.
Old Hei checked whether it was real or fake and then gave it to Sisi. "Take it and buy some candy."
Aunt Feng quickly put the silver notes away. Her daughter's hands were too big; they would have been gone in just a few days if she had left them with her.
Old Bai looked at Old Hei with a fawning expression and said, "Grandpa, I also like to eat candy."
Old Black: "Get lost!"
