The marquis brought back a transmigrated woman from the battlefield. She was foolish and arrogant, held lingerie shows in ancient times, declared that everyone was equal, and made a complete fool o...
Aunt Zhao looked at Chen Wei gratefully, with emotions swirling in her eyes. It seemed as if she had a lot to say, but she felt that saying too much would seem pretentious.
Out of respect, she didn't want to accept charity from others, but she also knew that...in life, face could not make her live decently.
Chen Wei was right, she really needed the money.
"Weiwei...consider this money as a loan from you. I will definitely return it to you later."
"I know you don't care about these ten taels of silver, but I remember this favor in my heart. I can't not repay it, and I can't take it for granted."
At this point, Aunt Zhao smiled at Chen Wei and said, "These are the two words you taught me to write on the first day. People should be grateful."
It was at this time.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door.
Aunt Man walked in slowly, waving a round fan. As soon as she entered the yard, she heard the conversation between the two and also heard about the ugly incident that happened in the back garden today.
Aunt Man looked up, glanced at the silver in Aunt Zhao's hand, and sneered sarcastically: "I really don't know what kind of magic potion Chen Wei poured into you to make you do such a ridiculous thing."
"I heard about what happened in the back garden. I know your personality. This must have nothing to do with you. It must be Miss Shen's doing, right?"
"I really don't know what you're thinking. You can take the blame for her in such a thing!"
"You have to know... our lives are not worth anything. We are not like a certain Miss Shen who can show up in public as she pleases because of the Marquis's favor. If we make a mistake, the Marquis will not show any mercy."
"If my wife hadn't stepped in today, you would have been dead long ago."
Aunt Man looked at Aunt Zhao, who had fought and quarreled with her in the past and had also targeted Chen Wei together with her, and felt indescribably complicated in her heart.
As they had both served the Marquis, she wanted to come and see Aunt Zhao.
But I didn't expect Chen Wei to be there too.
Not only that, he also acted like a benefactor, which made Aunt Man despise and disgust her. What she hated most was Chen Wei's appearance!
Relying on the Marquis's favor, she pretends to be superior to the concubines in every way. She doesn't even have a title, but she can give him ten taels of silver with a wave of her hand!
What’s more, it was Chen Wei who caused the trouble.
Aunt Zhao is such an honest person, she must have taken the blame for Chen Wei.
I've only been driven to Zhuangzi for half a year! What happened in the past six months? Why would Aunt Zhao protect Chen Wei so much?
Is she crazy?
"There's no need for you to be so sarcastic here, and there's no need to put on such a pity-ridiculing expression. This is the second time I'm warning you!"
Chen Wei's eyes swept calmly towards Aunt Man: "From the day you returned home, I told you that you can do whatever you want with Xie Yuchuan. I'm too lazy to argue with you."
"But if you show up in front of me from time to time and say a few mean things, I don't mind asking you to come back to the manor!"
Aunt Man finally came back and enjoyed a few days of happiness, but when she heard Chen Wei say this, she felt very upset.
But she also knew that Chen Wei really had this ability.
In the past two days, Aunt Man finally understood what was going on. The Marquis stayed at her place at night and was against Chen Wei, actually wanting to make Chen Wei jealous.
If things really get out of hand...
You won't get any benefits from it.
"You're really different from before. Okay, I won't argue with you."
Aunt Man could only swallow her anger and look away at Aunt Zhao.
She had always been known for her sharp tongue, and it was precisely because of her sharp tongue and hidden meaning in her words that she was thrown to Zhuangzi by Chen Wei. "At least we were sisters for a few years."
"We've been together for so long, I'm afraid we won't see each other again in the future. If we have the chance to see each other again, I can't call you Aunt Zhao anymore. Once you leave this door, you have nothing to do with the Marquis' Mansion. I don't know what your life will be like after you leave here."
"You've never revealed your maiden name, so tell me today. Otherwise, if you die or get hurt in the future, I won't know how to burn incense for you."
Aunt Zhao has now become indifferent to all the scheming and fighting in the Marquis's Mansion. Everything is like a passing cloud.
She pursed her lips and glanced at Aunt Man, wanting her to be less sharp-tongued, but she knew that personality could not be changed easily.
That's all.
She can't even save herself, so why bother interfering in other matters?
"I don't have a name."
When Aunt Zhao said this, she looked at Chen Wei and laughed: "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. How can a girl from an ordinary family be qualified to have a name?"
"Ordinary people don't have the money to learn to read, let alone hire a teacher. Even to choose a proper name, they have to pay a teacher. In the past, I was just called Daya and Erya."
"Fortunately, I can recognize a few words now."
"Let me choose the name myself."
Take it yourself?
Hearing this, Aunt Man's face froze, her eyes widened slightly, and she looked at Aunt Zhao with disbelief.
Is she literate?
She actually knows how to read!
Or was it Chen Wei who taught her?
This news was too shocking for Aunt Man. The women in the harem were all focused on vying for favor. Who would want to learn to read?!
"Valley."
"That day you took me to see the high mountain. I stood on the top and looked out. The grass and trees were lush and the earth was full of vitality and prosperity. It was just like me now, a new person after leaving the Marquis' Mansion."
"Zhao Xiangrong, does this name sound nice?"
