Chapter 32: Becoming a Rich Lady
You can go shopping along the way while walking, and it also saves Xu Yu from suddenly jumping out of the car.
There is no other way, but it is better to be safe than sorry.
Just as they were thinking about it, a carriage suddenly rushed towards them.
Xu Yu dodged it, but when he looked back, he saw that Fu Danjun was in danger of being hit, and nervously shouted: "Be careful!"
She ran over at a speed faster than the carriage and pushed Fu Danjun and Lan Fang away.
The horse was frightened and stopped neighing.
While Fu Danjun was still in shock, the dandy boy in the car had already opened the car curtain and cursed: "You blind thing, why are you running here pretending to be a ghost?"
Lan Fang was so angry that her face turned pale: "What kind of bastard dared to scold my young lady?"
The dandy boy said proudly: "I am the young master of the Shen family. May I ask who your young lady is?"
Lan Fang was about to continue cursing, but was stopped by Fu Danjun.
Seeing this, Shen Zhizhang laughed and said, "Look, aren't you afraid now?"
After saying that, he shouted "Let's go", closed the curtain, and sat back down again.
Fu Danjun thanked Xu Yu: "If you hadn't saved me, I would have been seriously injured if not killed."
Xu Yu didn't care much: "Don't thank me, saving you once is fair."
Fu Danjun was very grateful and took her to clothing stores and jewelry stores to buy whatever she liked.
Xu Yu, however, seemed absent-minded and kept looking around.
Fu Danjun looked at her expression and suspected that she might want to escape.
So, she secretly set a trap with Lan Fang to test Xu Yu.
At noon, Fu Danjun said he would treat Xu Yu to a luxurious lunch and took her to the most luxurious restaurant in Kyoto.
This time Xu Yu was more interested than before and took the initiative to order food.
But she said she wanted to go to the toilet after eating a few bites, and Fu Danjun winked at Lan Fang.
Sure enough, Xu Yu hurried out of the toilet after using it and rushed downstairs.
Lan Fang followed him out all the way. If Xu Yu hadn't been fast enough, he would have gotten on the carriage and ran away.
Fu Danjun saw this from the upstairs window and rushed over: "Sister Xu, aren't you trying to trick me?
Xu Yu was caught in a trap and came up with a lame excuse: "I just feel bad. You spent a lot of money on me, but I didn't do anything for you."
Fu Danjun was amused, but played along with her on the surface: "So that's the reason. That's easy. Tomorrow you can work in my shop. When you make money, you can treat me to a meal. That'll make us even, right?"
Xu Yu couldn't pretend anymore and frowned: "You have to stop me from leaving, right?"
Fu Danjun smiled bitterly and said, "Unless I don't want to live anymore, I'm willing to be beaten to death by Xie!"
Xu Yu frowned: "If I don't leave, are you really going to let me work as a handyman under your nose?"
Fu Danjun chuckled: "Having this idea, isn't this self-reliance? But if you don't want to, I won't force you."
Xu Yu's face was cold: "If you let me go, I won't live in your house, and I won't eat or drink your food. Isn't it good for everything to return to normal?"
Fu Danjun smiled and spread his hands: "No. If you don't want to work, then I'll support you. I'm happy to do it anyway."
Xu Yu saw that he couldn't run away, nor could he argue: "Forget it, forget it, you are so nagging."
Fu Danjun took her back to the restaurant, and after eating and drinking, they went to the attic to watch a show.
Xu Yu worked as a courtesan for a period of time, hanging out in the entertainment industry, and had heard all kinds of operas.
But this time she sat there admiring the show as a guest, instead of being admired by others.
With mixed feelings, he threw handfuls of copper coins onto the stage: "Good! Good singing!"
Fu Danjun handed Lan Fang a few more pieces of silver and said, "Change them for some copper coins."
She thought that if she let Xu Yu enjoy this excitement and stimulation more, he would not want to run away.
A familiar yet annoying voice appeared at this moment.
"Oh, what a coincidence."
Pei was dressed in jewels and gems, followed by two maids, who also came to watch the show.
Fu Danjun couldn't help but frown, thinking to himself that he was extremely unlucky today.
Pei actually sat next to her: "Cang Tao, how much did you get for the copper coins?"
Cang Tao smiled and replied: "A big bag, enough for the master's reward."
Fu Danjun was surprised that Pei came here to have fun?
Then she discovered that Pei was wearing a new phoenix hairpin on her head and the clothes she was wearing were made of cloud brocade.
Lu Yu is really lucky. He just borrowed money from the bank at high interest and the woman came to squander it.
"Sister, this dress is made of brocade. It's really beautiful."
Fu Danjun smiled as he spoke: "The Marquis really loves you. He has very little money, but he still lets you wear Yunjin."
Pei Shi became even more proud after hearing this: "Sister, you are right. The Marquis really loves me. We are about to have our fourth child. Sister, please hurry up. We women who don't give birth are like chickens that don't lay eggs."
Fu Danjun smiled and sighed: "My Lord, it's already hard for you to raise three children, yet you dare to have a fourth. You are so brave."
Pei chuckled. "Sister, you don't know, our Marquis has been promoted to the Fourth Rank, with a very high salary. That's why he personally picked this brocade for me right after his promotion. Now that the Emperor values him, he won't have to worry about further promotion. Oh, I'm so lucky! One foot is a concubine, and the next foot is a Fourth Rank Lady."
Fu Danjun never expected that Lu Yu would be promoted. Seeing Pei's smug look, she must have been valued by the emperor.
However, she changed her mind and thought that since Xie Changsheng helped her get her dowry back, he should give Lu Yu some benefits.
Could it be that he insisted that the emperor should not do such a brutal thing?
"From fourth rank to fourth rank, it's only an upgrade."
Fu Danjun rolled his eyes and said, "Besides, if my sister is so extravagant, she'll spend all her money no matter how much she spends."
Pei burst out laughing: "Don't worry about that, sister."
When she returned home that night, Lu Yu was waiting for Pei: "Madam, mother just said that everything is ready and we can officially become husband and wife."
Pei immediately burst into tears of joy and threw herself into Lu Yu's arms, sobbing: "I am so happy, so blessed. My husband is the best man."
Lu Yu's vanity was satisfied, and he loved Pei even more.
On the other hand, Yuan was criticized by the old lady for her slow work speed, and she was very angry.
Pei Xi has become more and more arrogant since Lu Yu was promoted.
She was as obedient as a cat in front of her mother-in-law, but as soon as she left the yard, she raised her neck and acted like a peacock.
In the past, Yuanshi was always addressed as a younger sister-in-law and she was always soft-spoken and gentle.
Now I act arrogantly, as if I am your sister-in-law and you have to respect me.
Yuan was so angry that her heart ached. She was busy with Lu Yu's marriage all day long, but not only did no one feel grateful to her, but everyone was against her.
"This life is unbearable."
Yuan returned to her room and smashed a teacup, scaring the maid so much that she trembled.
Because Yuanshi would really beat them in private, maybe the disaster would come again.
"Where is the Second Master?"
Yuan Shi couldn't find Lu Zhao inside or outside: "It's almost time for dinner, why is there still no sign of him?"
The maids didn't dare to say anything and went out to call the boy who served Lu Zhao to report back.
The servant knew that Yuanshi was very powerful, so he said with a smile: "Second Master has been enjoying watching operas recently, so he must have gone to the theater.
Yuan asked angrily: "Second Master, besides listening to opera, you also go to drink wine, right?"
The servant smiled and smoothed things over: "Our Second Master is a man of integrity, but unfortunately he is surrounded by drinking buddies and is always attending social events just to save face."
