Asking to be a concubine

"I'm just curious because you have so many people around you, Sister Yuyao. It seems that your cousin is worried because Sister Yuyao was arrested last time." Ye Jiajia looked at the guards guarding outside the shop again and said so.

Hearing this, Qin Yuyao also looked up at the guards around her and said in a low voice, "I had guards before, but they didn't think highly of me, so I changed so many."

It turned out that he hadn't done it well. It seemed that his cousin was trying to make up for his mistakes. Thinking of that cold-faced devil, Ye Jiajia's eyes rolled and she snorted secretly. It seemed that his cousin also had things he couldn't handle.

After successfully provoking Sister Yuyao, Ye Jiajia obediently helped to look at the account books. Now that the shop was on the right track, the female workers from the women's courtyard were also very useful.

The ready-to-wear clothing business, which was once praised, now has many new customers, most of whom are introduced by old customers.

Originally, the two were worried that if Qin Yuyao lost her relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion, the shop's business would be slow, but they didn't expect that it was not affected at all.

The two bosses were looking at the account books, so naturally no one dared to disturb them. Only Jin Yu and Qing Yu came in from time to time to get new tea and cakes.

Suddenly, there was a sound of quarreling outside, which not only showed no sign of stopping, but even intensified.

Suddenly, Ye Jiajia had no more interest in looking at the account book. She put it down and said, "Sister Yuyao, I'll go out and see who is so blind as to come here and bother you."

After saying that, Ye Jiajia was about to go out, but she saw one of the guards who was originally guarding the outside suddenly come in.

He bowed towards Qin Yuyao and said, "Princess, there is a woman outside who claims to be your sister. Her name is Qin Wenxin. Would you like to meet her?"

Hearing this, Ye Jiajia sat back down and said, "I won't go out to watch this excitement." As she spoke, she supported her chin and looked at Qin Yuyao cautiously.

After hearing Qin Wenxin's name again, Qin Yuyao didn't change at all. She calmly wrote the last word on the account book, blew on it gently, and made sure the ink was completely dry before closing the account book.

He looked up at the guard who was still bowing and waiting for a reply, pondered for a moment and said, "Let her in." After that, he glanced at Ye Jiajia who was waiting to see the show, and shook his head helplessly.

Knowing that there would be a lot of fun to watch later, Ye Jiajia immediately and attentively filled the empty teacup and placed it in front of Qin Yuyao: "Sister Yuyao, please have some tea!"

However, this cup of tea that was offered to her attentively could not enter Qin Yuyao's stomach, because after Qin Wenxin was let in, she "rushed" straight towards Qin Yuyao.

It’s not really that she rushed over, but Qin Wenxin’s aggressive posture made it seem like if this wasn’t Qin Yuyao’s territory, she might really attack Qin Yuyao.

This attitude made the guards who were responsible for protecting Qin Yuyao frown. They had been ordered by the prince that anyone who might threaten the princess's safety could be stopped directly, no matter who it was.

Qin Wenxin looked at her sister, whom she had been at odds with in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Now she was dressed in gorgeous clothes and even had a large number of guards guarding her when she went out.

This kind of treatment was something that even her father had never received before. Thinking of Qin Ziwen's affairs, Qin Wenxin's eyes turned red.

He glared at Qin Yuyao and said, "Father is in trouble, and you still have the mind to look at your account book in this shop?"

Qin Yuyao didn't expect Qin Wenxin to say that, but her expression remained unchanged, unaffected by her distant sister. "Well, the account book is more important than my father. After all, I still have to make money."

Qin Wenxin's eyes turned redder after hearing this. She pointed at Qin Yuyao and said, "What are you talking about? Your father raised you. If you didn't have a father, you would have spent your old age in some unknown village!"

Seeing that Qin Yuyao remained unmoved, as if the father she was talking about was not the same person as her, Qin Wenxin became even more angry: "And your position as a princess, if it weren't for your father, how could you have sat on the position of princess?"

Seeing Qin Wenxin becoming more and more excited, the guards who were originally farther away quietly moved closer. If this woman suddenly went crazy and attacked, they could stop her in time.

"The position of princess? Even without him, I can still be a princess. After all, the prince fell in love with me at first sight and proposed to me personally. It has nothing to do with the former Right Prime Minister's Mansion." If it were anything else, Qin Yuyao would still be a little uninterested, but when it comes to the position of princess, she is still happy to talk about it.

"Since you are the princess, why don't you ask the prince for mercy? My father will be sent to Danzhou tomorrow to build a road. How can you bear to leave him in such a bitter and cold place?"

Qin Wenxin was puzzled. If she lost the Prime Minister's Mansion, her position as princess would definitely be unstable in the future. Maybe in a few days she would hear that His Majesty had issued an order to replace Prince Zhen'an with a woman of more noble status as princess.

Qin Wenxin gritted her teeth and suddenly knelt down, even though Ye Jiajia and a group of guards were in the room.

After taking a deep breath, Qin Wenxin said, "Sister, please have mercy on me. My father has been sent to Danzhou, and only my grandmother and younger brother are left at home. It's fine for my grandmother to take care of my younger brother, but if I were to be added, I'm afraid it would be difficult to continue. Why don't you take me to the palace? If I can't be a concubine, then at least a noble concubine would be fine."

After a pause, Qin Wenxin secretly looked at Qin Yuyao's face on the ground and said, "The prince will have a new person entering the palace sooner or later. If you take me in with you, I can still help you in the future. I beg you to save me for the sake of our blood relationship."

Ye Jiajia was shocked. She had never expected Qin Wenxin to be so bold. Although they had a mediocre relationship before, she had heard about her arrogance and pride. Now she was so self-indulgent.

Seeing this, Ye Jiajia couldn't help but look at Qin Yuyao. This stepmother's sister had come to her for a plea, and she didn't know how Sister Yuyao should deal with it. It would be best not to agree.

If you ask Qin Yuyao what she thinks, she just thinks it's ridiculous. This stepsister used to look down on her with her mother in the mansion, and now seeing Qin Ziwen's downfall, she actually came to her for help.

If Qin Wenxin had insisted on asking her to find a way to save Qin Ziwen, she would have looked up to her. Unexpectedly, she cried so hard in the end, all for herself. She even went so far as to become a concubine in the palace, seeing Qin Wenxin's face full of longing and tears.

Qin Yuyao felt like laughing, but she couldn't possibly give him this opportunity. She knew full well how possessive she felt about Luan Zhengya. Even if Luan Zhengya had said there would be no one else in the mansion, she wouldn't have bothered him.

"It's a good idea for sisters to share the same husband. Grandmother has been working hard for a long time. If you now degrade yourself to become a concubine, it would be a waste of grandma's kindness. Even if father loses his official position, grandma can still support the family." Qin Yuyao's gaze fell lightly on Qin Wenxin, as if she weighed thousands of pounds, making her unable to raise her head.

"If grandma knew that you came to me and asked to be my concubine, I would probably punish you according to the family rules." Qin Yuyao looked at her with a smile, wanting to see what else she could say.

After hearing what Qin Yuyao said, Qin Wenxin's eyes darted back and forth as she thought about how Old Madam Qin and the others had called her over to appease them. She felt that her grandmother might be just as Qin Yuyao had said, and that by then she might be so disappointed in her that she wouldn't even be able to find a good husband.

But she had come all this way, and with Ye Jiajia still here, she couldn't possibly retreat. Yes, she remembered Ye Jiajia. This eldest daughter of the Zhennan Palace was far more prestigious than any of her former acquaintances, but she had never been fond of interacting with her.

But now she is interacting a lot with Qin Yuyao, which makes her jealous. Why can her, a cheap sister, be loved by so many people? What good is there for her, a village woman?

Qin Wenxin trembled and sobbed, "Sister, I just want to find a better home for myself. If I can go to the palace and have you take care of me, grandma will definitely feel at ease."

Unexpectedly, Qin Wenxin insisted on entering the palace to become a concubine. Before Qin Yuyao could continue speaking, she suddenly heard a voice coming from outside.

"Enter the palace? Who wants to enter the palace?" The voice was low and magnetic, making people want to look over involuntarily.

Qin Yuyao couldn't help but smile. This person must have noticed that she hadn't returned yet, so he chased after her. However, this place was not clean today, and he had actually run into these two sisters "tit-for-tat" scene.

Seeing him walk in, Qin Yuyao stood up. She still had to bow outside. However, Luan Zhengya raised her hand, indicating that she didn't need to bow.

Ever since Luan Zhengya came in, Qin Wenxin's eyes have been glued to Luan Zhengya. Her brother-in-law is tall, handsome, and of noble status.

I have heard a lot about his doting on Qin Yuyao in the past. If it was her who entered the palace in the first place, all this favor and even these shops might be hers now.

Qin Wenxin's face darkened, and she became even more jealous of Qin Yuyao, who was currently being held by Luan Zhengya's hand. Gritting her teeth, she simply rushed over, thinking that if she hugged the prince's legs first, she might be able to attract him if she acted pitifully.

She felt that her face was still attractive to men, but she had been bewitched by Qin Yuyao in the past, which was why she was favored by Qin Yuyao.

But her expectations were doomed to be dashed. Before Qin Wenxin could rush over and hug Luan Zhengya's calf and cry, she saw the guard who was originally standing next to Qin Yuyao suddenly reach out and pull her back.

This guard was the one who had just approached. Although they could feel at ease for a moment with the arrival of the prince, when he saw the direction Qin Wenxin was looking, he had a bad feeling, so he quickly pushed Qin Wenxin down.

If she succeeded in knocking the prince down, these guards would inevitably be trained by Lord Jiang He.

Qin Yuyao blinked, she didn't expect her stepsister to be so brave.

"Let me go! Do you know who I am? I am the princess's sister. It is so outrageous of you to treat me like this!" Qin Wenxin's face flushed red. She didn't expect that someone would grab her collar and push her down. Her previous plan fell through.
