The constable was slightly taken aback and repeatedly confirmed, "Ning Ye, have you thought it through? Once you've made your choice, it will be registered in your household, and you can't go back on your word afterward!"
"Hehe! Your Honor, please calm down. My nephew isn't quite right in the head; he was just joking!"
Ning Silang quickly smiled apologetically, pulled Ning Ye aside, and angrily said, "What's wrong with you? Have you forgotten what I just told you? Nobody wants a woman like this, even if they paid her, who told you to act recklessly?"
Liu Qinshu lowered her head, her eyes slightly red.
From the very beginning, she took in all the disdainful looks from everyone around her.
She herself understood that it would be difficult for a woman of her background to find a good family. In the worst case, no one would want her and she would have no choice but to become a military prostitute.
She was also extremely surprised when Ning Ye chose her.
But hearing the dissuasion of others, the hope that had just begun to ignite was extinguished once again.
If in the end, I really have to become a military prostitute.
She'd rather die!
After making up her mind, Liu Qinshu was filled with despair.
"Sir! I've made up my mind, I'll choose her!"
But at that moment, Ning Ye's firm voice rang out again.
Liu Qinshu looked up abruptly, her nose tingling with emotion. She stared at Ning Ye without blinking, and after a long while, she choked out, deeply moved, "Thank you... thank you!"
"Come on, you're mine now."
Ning Ye spoke gently, taking Liu Qinshu's hand and ignoring her blushing face, and walked directly towards the crowd.
"well!"
Ning Silang was so anxious that he stamped his feet, but there was nothing he could do.
But just then...
"Um, that..."
Liu Qinshu suddenly stopped in her tracks, making a faint, mosquito-like sound.
"how?"
Ning Ye turned around, his brows furrowing slightly.
"My... my lord, could you please take the remaining two women with you as concubines?"
Ning Ye followed the gaze.
Sure enough, they spotted two equally pretty girls, but their thin figures meant they were ignored and stood there helplessly.
Seeing Ning Ye's gaze, Liu Qinshu lowered her head further and further.
At this moment, she also felt that her request was a bit excessive.
After all, being chosen was already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune, and under these circumstances, she still made such an unreasonable request.
But those two were his personal maids.
The three of them had grown up together, and she really didn't want them to suffer.
Just when she was overwhelmed with shame.
"Alright! Sir, I'll take both of them too!"
Ning Ye's calm voice rang out again.
What! ?
"Are you crazy?"
Ning Silang rushed forward and desperately pulled Ning Ye away.
In his view, Ning Ye was easily swayed and that's why he fell for it.
Even if you're trying to do good, you have to choose the right time, right?
He originally thought that he would let his silly nephew take one back so that he wouldn't be exiled to the army, but the nephew seemed to have gone mad. Not only did he choose a jinx, but he also wanted to take two more money-losing ones.
"Fourth Uncle, I know what I'm doing."
Ning Ye knew that Ning Silang meant well, so he patiently explained.
"You know nothing!"
Ning Silang was so angry that his nose twisted.
If it weren't for his own nephew, he wouldn't bother with him at all.
The two delicate-skinned girls, who had already given up all hope, looked up at Ning Ye with tears in their eyes upon hearing his words.
Hu Erbiao watched the spectacle with a sneer, clearly enjoying the drama.
"Hehe! This Ning family lad is really something. He can barely support himself, yet he still has to take care of three burdens. I really admire him!"
"Yes! Ono, you need to think this through carefully, this is no joke."
The autumn harvest is approaching, and taxes will be levied soon.
Ning Ye himself was a tenant farmer, and after paying the rent, he had very little grain left. Now, he was being burdened with taxes for three more people. Wasn't this just cutting off his own livelihood?
To outsiders, Ning Ye had truly gone mad.
"Alright, alright! Here's a reward of sixty coins. Keep it and take the person with you!"
The constable was grinning from ear to ear.
Generally speaking, he would deduct a portion of these tips.
But today he completed the task in full, and he found Ning Ye more and more agreeable.
But Ning Silang, standing next to him, wasn't so happy.
"Let's go! We'll talk about it when we get home."
Ning Ye remained calm.
