Chapter 73: Make a pair
The breeze lifted the veil.
Half of Jing Mingmei's face was revealed.
Jiang Rouer thought she was already very beautiful, but compared to the natural beauty of the woman opposite her, she seemed to pale in comparison.
Jiang Rouer was completely mesmerized by what she saw.
Jing Mingmei personally helped Jiang Rouer up: "Miss, are you okay?"
Such a gentle and charming voice.
Jiang Rouer came back to her senses, quickly shook her head, and squeezed out a few tears: "Madam, they want to sell me to a brothel, please save me!"
"How could they bully a weak woman like this!" Anger flashed across Jing Mingmei's face, but she then patted her hand gently, "Don't be afraid. I'm here. No one can hurt you today."
"Thank you. As long as you can save me, Rouer is willing to work like a slave for you." Jiang Rouer was so moved that she burst into tears.
She hid behind Jing Mingmei like a wounded deer.
The guards from the General's Mansion caught up and explained, "Her master is indeed Miss Wen Yan. Miss Wen Yan saw that this was her first time as a maid and she didn't know the rules, so she asked the nanny in the General's Mansion to teach her the rules. Unexpectedly, not only did she fail to learn the rules, she also injured the nanny.
The nanny is still unconscious, and Miss Wen Yan is very angry, so she asked us to sell her off."
Du Juan said, "Even if you want to sell her, you shouldn't sell her to a brothel. If a woman goes to that kind of place, her future will be ruined."
The guard said bewilderedly, "We're not going to sell her to a brothel!"
"There's a red-light district ahead, don't even think about quibbling." Jiang Rouer said softly but loudly.
The guard said, "Although there are red-light districts ahead, the best pawnshop in the capital is at the end of this street..."
Jiang Rouer's face turned pale, and she tugged at Jing Mingmei's sleeve pitifully: "I... I was scared. Did I misunderstand them..."
Jing Mingmei winked at Dujuan.
Du Juan said, "Since they are selling people anyway, why not sell them to us instead of selling them to a pawnbroker?"
The guards looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Du Juan used ten taels of silver to exchange for Jiang Rouer's indenture.
After the guard left, Jing Mingmei pulled Jiang Rouer into her own carriage.
Jing Mingmei took off her veil, revealing her charming face.
Jiang Rouer was stunned again.
Jing Mingmei patted Jiang Rouer's hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, you will be free from now on."
She tore up the indenture in front of Jiang Rouer.
Without the indenture, Jiang Rouer regained her freedom. She was so moved that her eyes were red. "Sister, you are so kind. You are my reborn sister. I will spend the rest of my life repaying you."
"We're both women, and I know how difficult it is for you. Why would you say thank you? Where do you live? I'll take you back."
Jiang Rouer immediately revealed a dejected look: "My only relative also passed away a few days ago.
I no longer have any relatives in this world."
Her tears fell one after another like beads from a broken string.
Jing Mingmei took her into her arms and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I will be your sister from now on. Come back to the Marquis' Mansion with me and let me take care of your life."
"Sister!" Jiang Rouer threw herself into Jing Mingmei's arms, crying inconsolably.
Where no one else could see, Jiang Rouer had a smug smile on her face.
She thought she had become a slave and was sold to Wen Yan as a spy. If she wanted to become the prince's daughter, she would need to work hard.
Unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events.
She actually became the sister of Concubine Mei in the Marquis's Mansion.
With such proximity, she will sooner or later become the prince's woman.
As for Wen Ruyue.
That day, I begged her so much not to sell her body.
Not only did she force herself to sign a contract to sell herself, she also sent herself to be a spy.
She couldn't wait to see Wen Ruyue's sad and angry expression after she and the prince got together!
**
Seeing that the person had been successfully sent to the Huo family, Wen Yan withdrew his gaze.
In her previous life, she didn't know until her death that Jiang Rouer had been bribed by Wen Ruyue a long time ago.
The two of them joined forces and caused themselves to lose their fertility.
If they were to be paired together again in this life, who knows what kind of sparks they would create.
Wen Yan can't wait!
After finishing the last piece of dessert, she got up and returned to the general's mansion.
After returning to Meng Chifei's yard, Wen Yan began to pack her luggage.
Now that things here are over, it's time for her to return to Songshan Village.
She had been away for three or four days and didn't know what was going on at home.
When Liu's parents came to deliver tofu, they didn't see me and wondered if I would ask about it.
Buying land, building houses and establishing workshops should also be put on the agenda.
Seeing this, Meng Chifei also packed his luggage.
She wanted to live in the village with Wen Yan.
Seeing this, Meng Chifei's maid quickly called over Nanny Ya.
Aunt Ya hurried over and snatched Meng Chifei's bag: "Oh, my lady, where are you going again?"
"There's no one to play with me in the capital, so of course I'll go live in the countryside with Yanyan." Nanny Ya snatched the bag back.
"No, Young Master Sun is going to Beijing soon. You should stay at home and practice your etiquette. You can't make a fool of yourself in front of Young Master Sun." Nanny Ya looked worried.
"Young Master Sun? Who is he?" Meng Chifei was puzzled.
"Oh, my dear, this is your fiancé. Sun Rulan, the eldest son of the Sun family. Don't you remember him?"
The eldest daughter is nineteen years old, but she still acts like a child.
She runs around for other people's affairs, but doesn't care about her own affairs at all.
It's really worrying.
However, when Wen Yan heard the three words "Sun Rulan", his eyes instantly became gloomy.
Sun Rulan!
In the previous life, he sucked sister Chi Fei's blood and ate sister Chi Fei's flesh.
It ruined Chi Fei's sister's life.
He will never succeed in this life!
Wen Yan also followed Aunt Ya and advised, "Sister Chi Fei, just listen to Aunt Ya and stay in the capital!
Everyone knows you're back. If you don't show up, people will think the General's Mansion is taking advantage of Qiao and looking down on you."
Meng Chifei heard Yan Du say this and had to relent: "Okay then, I'll stay in the capital for ten days to deal with some personal relationships, and then I'll come find you."
Nanny Ya gave Wen Yan a grateful smile.
The next morning.
Wen Yan was sent home by Brother Chen Wu in a carriage.
With a horse-drawn carriage, the speed was much faster.
After more than an hour, she returned to Songshan Village.
As soon as she entered the village, someone approached Wen Yan and said, "Hey, isn't this the scholar's wife? You have a distinguished guest at home. Why did you come back just now?"
Wen Yan was confused: "What distinguished guest?"
"What a magnificent carriage! They're specifically coming to see you. But it seems they're heading to Old Ying's house."
Wen Yan frowned.
Who is coming to see me again?
But since they had chosen the wrong temple, she wouldn't rush to do anything.
Wen Yan invited Uncle Chen Wu to come into the house and have a glass of water before leaving. Uncle Chen Wu waved his hand and drove away in the carriage.
Seeing the dilapidated house, Brother Chen Wu couldn't bear it.
Such a beautiful girl fell into the quagmire overnight.
Not only did she not complain, but she lived an optimistic and positive life. Her mentality is something that even I can't match.
Not long after Wen Yan arrived home, before she could even catch her breath, someone knocked on the gate.
A commanding voice came in: "Second Miss Wen Yan, the master and his wife are here, why don't you follow me to greet them?"
