"We'll figure something out."
Lin Baozhu didn't believe this. She suddenly raised her head, looked at Zhang Daniu, and said, "Daniu, I heard you tried sending chicken soup to that guy surnamed Shang."
Zhang Daniu's eyes widened. She looked at Lin Baozhu with disbelief, bit her lip, and asked in a low voice, "What does Miss want to say?"
She never imagined that one day her mistress would sell her for her own sake.
Miss Ke had been kind to her.
Zhang Daniu knew that as long as Lin Baozhu asked, she would definitely agree.
Lin Baozhu looked at her and said with a hint of pleading, "Could you ask him to stand up for us? You can give him some of the things we hid before as a reward."
Hearing that Lin Baozhu didn't intend to sell her, Zhang Daniu breathed a sigh of relief. She stood up and said, "I'll go talk to him now."
Watching her cheerful steps, Lin Baozhu sighed. Such a world was really too difficult for single women like them.
Zhang Danu found Shang Dawang and told him what had happened.
King Shang looked at her with a half-smile and asked, "If I wanted those things, I would just not return them to you, wouldn't that be better?"
He refused.
Zhang Daniu panicked for a moment. This was the only person she knew and trusted in the village. "What do you want?" she mustered her courage and asked.
King Shang stared intently at her and said, "I want you, only you."
He lacks nothing, except for a wife who will cook and clean for him.
Under his burning gaze, Zhang Daniu blushed involuntarily, and her voice softened involuntarily, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Seeing that she didn't resist, the smile in King Shang's eyes deepened. "Wouldn't it be good to marry me?"
Zhang Daniu made no comment. Marrying him was a good thing, but she couldn't abandon her mistress.
King Shang knew her predicament, sighed, and said, "If you ever want to get married, remember to come to me first."
As for the people in the village, I will take care of them for you.
Zhang Danu subconsciously ignored the first half of the sentence and only asked, "If you need money to bribe people, take it from our money."
"It is true that you need to bribe people, but it's not about money; it's just a matter of whether you're willing to do so."
King Shang smiled, and Zhang Daniu felt her heart melt. She hurriedly agreed, "Of course I would agree."
Hearing this, King Shang's smile deepened. "Then give me a kiss, okay?"
"Okay." King Shang was so handsome that Zhang Danu didn't even hear what he said before agreeing.
King Shang pointed to his face and said, "Kiss here."
Zhang Danu listened to him and foolishly kissed him, but when she touched his stubble-covered face, she instantly sobered up.
She said with a hint of reproach, "Why are you like this?"
"how?"
Seeing the teasing look in Shang Da Wang's eyes, Zhang Danu stomped her foot and ran away.
King Shang stood at a distance, watching her departing figure, unable to hide the smile on his lips.
Shang Dayuan, seeing his elder brother staring at a woman from afar, frowned and asked, "Brother, do you want to marry her?"
King Shang hooked his arm around his neck and asked, "How was it? My judgment was pretty good, wasn't it?"
Shang Dayuan shook his head in disapproval, "Her family background has always been somewhat lacking."
Upon hearing this, King Shang couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Even if she's worse, can she be worse than us? We're bandits, I'm already satisfied that she even took a liking to me."
Zhang Daniu returned to the Su family home with a flushed face. As soon as she entered, she saw Lin Baozhu carrying a small half-bucket of water to the kitchen. Upon seeing this, Zhang Daniu quickly took the bucket of water and said, "How can Miss do such rough work?"
"Leave it to me."
Lin Baozhu didn't say anything, but just let her help carry the water into the kitchen and start a fire to cook rice and stir-fry vegetables.
Lin Baozhu sat by the stove, adding firewood with her, and said to her, "Big girl, you're not young anymore, have you thought about what kind of person you want to find?"
Zhang Daniu paused, "I am Miss's servant, and naturally I will stay by Miss's side for life."
Her words touched Lin Baozhu, but also filled her with worry.
“You’re still a young woman, it’s impossible for you not to get married.” She touched her belly and said softly, “Please allow me to be selfish this once. After this child is born and I’ve finished my postpartum confinement, I’ll make arrangements for you.”
She knew this would waste Zhang Danu's prime years, but she had no one else available to help her here.
Her body was getting heavier and heavier, and there were many things she really couldn't do anymore.
Seeing the guilt in her eyes, Zhang Daniu shook her head and said, "My life was saved by Miss. As long as Miss doesn't send me away, I will stay by Miss's side forever."
Lin Baozhu smiled but remained silent.
Time flew by, and Lin Baozhu soon gave birth to a daughter, whom she named Su Qian.
Su Qian is a very well-behaved girl, and can be said to be Lin Baozhu's sweetheart. Zhang Daniu also loves her very much.
Lin Baozhu was still in her postpartum period, and she washed all of Su Qian's diapers by herself. If Su Qian cried loudly at night, she would immediately wake up to comfort her.
Soon, Lin Baozhu finished her postpartum confinement and was preparing for the wedding of Zhang Daniu and Shang Dawang when she saw that Shang Dawang had brought back a child.
It was a boy, just over a year old.
When Zhang Danu saw the boy, she felt her heart breaking. Was this the child of King Shang?
What should she do then?
Over the past year, at Lin Baozhu's urging, she had decided to be with King Shang, but this major blow was simply too much for her to bear.
