Sir, let me make this clear first: this tea costs twenty taels per pot.
"If you think that's acceptable, then I'll boil some water for you."
Sure, go ahead and burn it.
Once the tea stall owner got the correct answer, he went to boil water.
Xiao Tao brought the tea leaves over in no time.
"Madam, here's some tea for you."
Hmm, the tea shop owner is boiling water. Please put the tea on the table first.
"Yes, madam."
A short while later, the tea stall owner came to Shen Yingying and Ouyang Yuqing carrying a kettle and an empty teapot.
"Sir, this is an empty teapot and hot water. Please brew your tea at your leisure."
Shen Yingying took out a twenty-tael silver note from her person (space) and handed it to the tea shop owner.
The tea shop owner happily accepted the silver note and said to Shen Yingying, "Sir, please feel free to call me if you need anything else."
Shen Yingying nodded, "Mmm..."
Seeing the teapot, Xiao Tao, with her keen eye, brewed tea for Shen Yingying and the other person.
Before the two could even drink their tea, the large group of exiled people had already arrived at Shili Pavilion.
When the relatives and friends of Shiliting saw their relatives, they all came forward to offer their concern and care.
Of the two wives' family, only the concubine who had been beaten in the prison cell had two former brothel sisters who came to see her off.
The second wife's family was in dire straits. The second wife, feeling a bit envious, started picking a fight with her concubine, saying, "Ah, she was indeed the top courtesan back then, she had so many sisters."
If people think about the concubine's behavior in the prison cell, they will understand what the second wife meant.
The implication is that a prostitute is a prostitute, and wherever she goes, she exudes the aura of a brothel.
Su Degui, the second wife, was fuming, but he didn't say anything.
Because when someone comes to visit the concubine, they can bring some money with them.
Nowadays, concubines are like gods of wealth, so he can't just raise his hand to hit them.
The concubine's former sisters have all been redeemed by the minor official, and she doesn't have much silver left to rely on.
After the three women finished their tearful tale, the two sisters secretly slipped the concubine one hundred taels of silver each to keep on their person.
The concubine knew about her two sisters' situation, and it was already quite generous of her to each give one hundred taels.
After the two sisters cried for a while, they bid farewell to the concubine.
They were also concubines of minor officials, and their lives were not very free.
After Su Degui, the second wife, saw that his concubine's sisters had left, he got up and walked up to his concubine, saying, "Take out some silver and go over there to buy some food."
The concubine now hates the second wife so much that she's itching to spend money, so naturally she doesn't want to pay any.
So she ignored Su Degui, found a slightly smooth stone without saying a word, and sat down to rest.
When Su Degui saw that his concubine had lost her temper, she ignored him when he spoke.
Then I got angry.
"You've grown some guts, haven't you? You're not even listening to me anymore?"
What did the concubine do before? She was the most popular courtesan in the brothel back then, and she had seen all sorts of people.
After the concubine was redeemed by Su Degui, the second wife, she was only kind and gentle to the second wife because she was after his money.
But Su Degui is now a criminal, not even as good as a commoner. Would she take out the silver her sister had secretly given her and let him spend it?
That's naturally impossible.
The concubine still ignored Su Degui, turning her head away from him.
Enraged, Su Degui roared at his concubine, "Don't you know who you are if you don't get beaten every day?"
When the concubine heard Su Degui yell at her, she casually said to him, "My sisters gave me money to keep me safe, why should I take it out and let your whole family spend it?"
Why should I? You tell me why. I'm your man.
"Oh, don't scare me, I'm easily frightened."
