Chapter 72: Father and Son Fight for a Daughter
"The owner of Miaobi Zhai gave me to you. I am yours in life and your ghost in death. Please don't abandon me."
Jiang Rouer was born weak and was crying miserably at this moment. Many passers-by pointed and talked in this direction.
Wen Yan snorted and laughed.
They are using moral kidnapping again.
Sadly, she has no morals.
She didn't even frown: "You have never been a servant, so you don't know anything about etiquette. Once you learn the rules, I will arrange a place for you."
Rules again!
Jiang Rouer gritted her teeth.
The old man who taught her the rules was so hateful.
Not only are the requirements very strict, but they also won't give in at all.
She followed the lesson for two days and was punished with a ruler countless times.
If this continues, before he learns the rules, he will be beaten to death first.
Moreover, she was even more afraid that Wen Yan would use this method to keep her in the Meng family.
If I am not with Wen Yan, I will not be able to take the opportunity to deliver messages to the Crown Prince's wife and fall in love with the Crown Prince over time!
So, she pretended to escape this morning just to find out Yan's background and whether he would take her away.
Wen Yan didn't even show up, which made her very nervous. She was afraid that she would be trapped and die in the general's mansion.
That's why he took the risk and knocked out the nanny who taught him the rules and escaped.
Wen Yan waved her hand and was about to have someone take her away.
At this time, the waiter from Tianyi Cloth Shop came hurriedly.
The waiter said respectfully to Wen Yan, "Miss Wen, the goods you ordered a few days ago have arrived. Please come to the store tomorrow to have them measured and tailored."
This was the secret code agreed upon by Wen Yan and the owner of the cloth shop.
As long as Jing Mingmei agrees to cooperate, the shopkeeper will send the waiter to convey the message of trying on clothes.
"I understand. Go back and tell your boss that I will be at the store on time tomorrow at 9:00 PM."
The waiter took the order and left.
Wen Yan glanced at Jiang Rouer.
She put on a smile and went forward to help her up. "Since you're so anxious, I'll arrange a place for you tomorrow. You should go back and rest now. Get enough rest so you can work for me tomorrow."
Although she had achieved her goal, Jiang Rouer did not feel happy at all. Instead, she felt anxious and uneasy.
The next day.
Wen Yan arrived at the cloth shop on time as agreed.
Jing Mingmei was already waiting in the box.
"Miss Wen, you are here." Jing Mingmei smiled, filling the room with light.
It makes people feel happy.
After sitting down, without any greetings or pleasantries, Wen Yan went straight to the point: "Miss Jing, are you willing to cooperate with me?"
Jing Mingmei: "I want to know, what are you going to do?"
Wen Yan said, "I heard that Miss Jing's most trusted nanny had an accident and is in critical condition."
"Miss Wen is so well-informed." Jing Mingmei's eyes darkened. "She is the one who betrayed me."
Jing Mingmei sneered. She trusted Nanny Lin so much.
But Nanny Lin betrayed her.
If she is not dealt with, she will not be able to vent the hatred in her heart!
However, this would also alert the enemy.
Although a nail was pulled out.
If there is a second or third eyeliner, it will only be hidden deeper.
Wen Yan did not agree with her approach.
But this matter did not affect her plan, so she didn't say much.
She smiled nonchalantly and said, "Then let me tell you about my plan..."
"I'm all ears."
"Miss Jing, would you mind if Lord Huo had another concubine?"
"How do you say that?"
"Wen Ruyue sent me a maid. She is as beautiful as a fairy and has a gentle personality. She is very popular with men."
"Are you talking about Jiang Rouer, who sold herself to bury her mother on the day Miao Bi Zhai opened?"
"Miss Jing, you know that Jiang Rouer's crush is Huo Yaoxing, the heir of the Marquis's Mansion. She sold herself to bury her mother, just to step on Wen Ruyue and get the heir."
"You want to..." Jing Mingmei's eyes sparkled, as if she had guessed her plan.
Wen Yan smiled and said, "The drama of father and son turning against each other over a woman is quite exciting."
Jing Mingmei covered her mouth and giggled, and that laughter made people feel numb all over.
Afterwards, the two discussed the details.
Jing Mingmei: "It would have been great if I had met you earlier."
Wen Yan smiled. Her earlier self was not the same as her current self.
The two have no personal relationship.
After they had said what they needed to say, they each left.
After Wen Yan went downstairs, he asked Brother Chen Wu to take a message to Meng Chifei.
She walked alone to a nearby teahouse.
She and Cai Huo made an appointment to meet here.
It didn't take long for her to book a private room.
Cai Huo came with his men.
He had agreed to bring four experienced craftsmen, but he brought six instead.
Cai Huo, fearing he would displease Wen Yan, hurriedly introduced him: "He's an exceptional paperhanger; he holds a Tongsheng degree and has excellent handwriting. He'd like to take on some copying work to supplement the family income."
The paperhanger immediately took out his own work.
The boy also took out his calligraphy.
Wen Yan looked at them one by one. The paperhanger had superb skills and the student's handwriting was handsome and lively. Wen Yan was very satisfied with both.
I immediately agreed to introduce them to suitable jobs if they were available.
As for Tongsheng, Wen Yan placed an order for five enlightenment books on the spot and paid a deposit.
Tongsheng just wanted to try his luck, but he didn't expect to get the deposit so easily.
Several other suppliers were impressed by Yan's straightforward and generous approach and his generous spending.
I have a little more trust in her.
The subsequent cooperation discussions went very smoothly and the two parties signed the contract very quickly.
Cai Huo and his companions left happily.
Wen Yan was the only one left in the private room.
Wen Yan ordered another pot of tea and two plates of snacks and sat down by the window.
She drank her tea slowly, looking relaxed and comfortable.
“What are you going to do!
You can't sell me!
Why would you sell me out?
Suddenly, there was a noise downstairs!
Wen Yan leaned on the window frame and looked down.
I saw the guards and maids of the general's mansion, escorting the weak Jiang Rouer, coming towards this side.
As we turned the corner of the street ahead, we saw the famous red-light district in the capital.
Not only is there the largest brothel in the capital.
There is also the most low-class brothel in the capital.
If she were sold on that street, her life would be over.
She comes from an ordinary family, but has a face as beautiful as a fairy.
Neighbors often said that if she had a good background, not only would she be able to marry into a wealthy family, but she could also become a young master of a noble family or a concubine in the palace.
Amidst all the flattery, she gradually became arrogant and wanted to marry into a wealthy family and become the superior one.
Since she couldn't be the main wife, she became a concubine.
If you have another son or daughter, you will be honored as a mother.
Even God was helping her. Princess Ruixue was riding a horse in the street, and she couldn't dodge and was almost hit.
It was the prince of the Marquis of Jinping who saved her life.
She fell into the prince's arms.
Smelling his refreshing scent and touching his strong arms.
Her cheeks flushed instantly and her heart was beating like a deer.
She knew that she was in love with him.
Seeing that he was engaged.
Married a wife.
His wife opened another shop.
She knew that her chance had come.
The only drawback was that my mother died two days earlier.
By the time she went to sell herself to bury her mother, the corpse had already started to stink.
She successfully stayed with the Crown Prince's wife.
However, she didn't expect that the prince's wife not only forced her to sign a contract to sell herself, but also gave her to Wen Yan.
Wen Yan wanted to sell her to a brothel!
Once they enter that kind of place, there will be no chance for her and the prince.
No!
Cannot be sold.
You must find a way to save yourself!
"I'm not from the Meng family. I'm the maid that the wife of Prince Jinping gave to Wen Yan. You have no right to sell me out."
Jiang Rouer bit the old woman's hand.
The old woman felt pain and pushed her away.
Jiang Rouer panicked and bumped into someone head-on.
"How dare you offend my wife! Do you know who my wife is? She is from the Marquis of Jinping's Mansion..."
"Dujuan." Jing Mingmei stopped the maid.
The four words "Jinping Marquis Mansion" made Jiang Rouer raise her head suddenly.
