The princess was so powerful that no one dared to defy her.
Everyone looked at the old lady, wanting to beg for mercy, but the old lady kept a straight face, her eyes full of disappointment.
The pleas for mercy gradually faded, and in the end, they had no choice but to resign themselves to their fate and leave.
The old lady looked exhausted. "No wonder the Empress Dowager said I was bad at judging people. If it weren't for Xiuqin all these years, the Duke's mansion would probably have been riddled with holes long ago."
Xiao Yitang comforted her, saying, "That's human nature. Mother is devoted to Buddhism, and the people below think you have a good nature, so they have developed ulterior motives. From now on, we are a family, of one mind, and we will never let others take advantage of us again."
Jiang Shumiao sat to the side eating cherries.
"Sister Fuqu, if you wish to cultivate the Great Dao and become an immortal, you must first be human. Within my Qiankun Sleeve, you can only increase your cultivation and it will hinder your tribulation. Why don't you disguise yourself as a mortal and stay by my side as my personal maid? What do you say?"
Fuqu asked, "But how am I supposed to get into the Duke's mansion?"
[Selling oneself into servitude to bury one's father—that's how it's written in storybooks.]
Fuqu was shocked, "Do you immortals read storybooks too?"
Of course.
Jiang Shumiao happily swung her short legs, looking very proud.
Otherwise, it would be so boring.
Fuqu said weakly, "But to sell oneself to bury one's father, one must have a father, and I don't have one."
[Aren't you a demon? You can just pluck a flower petal and transform it, right? Remember to make yourself look disheveled; if you're too beautiful, I'm afraid someone will buy you as a concubine.]
Fuqu swallowed hard. "Um, High God, it seems that you humans need household registration. Now that your mother has just finished investigating the mole, if she buys people from outside again, she will definitely investigate their background. What if we can't hide it?"
It's okay, Mom loves me the most. If she doesn't buy you, I'll cry, and she'll definitely soften.
After listening to the entire story, Xiao Yitang was speechless.
That little girl is quite cunning.
Xiao Yitang knew that her daughter was raising a flower fairy. Last time, when Jiang Shuman and Gu Jinchuan were playing polo, Wen Zhixuan came to catch the fairy, which ended up scaring the Fifth Princess to tears.
She heard her daughter's innermost thoughts.
The demon that Wen Zhixuan had painstakingly captured ended up in his daughter's hands.
She seemed to be a kind demon, and was completely suppressed by her daughter, which made her feel somewhat at ease.
Since her daughter liked it, she naturally complied.
So the next morning, when Jiang Shumiao insisted on going out shopping, she smiled and agreed.
Jiang Shumiao peeked furtively out the window, his eyes darting around. When he saw Fuqu, he immediately said, "Stop the car, stop the car."
Xiao Yitang feigned helplessness and carried her off the carriage.
At first glance.
Hmm, they're putting on quite a good act.
He wore tattered clothes, but the cloth he used to sell himself to bury his father was clean and tidy.
Jiang Shumiao ran over in a few steps, pretended to carefully examine the words, and then looked at her mother with an innocent expression, "Mom, this sister's father is gone, let's buy her back."
Xiao Yitang feigned difficulty, "We don't need any maids in our household..."
Fuqu kowtowed at the opportune moment, weeping, "Please, Madam, have mercy! I will do anything, I only ask for a simple coffin to bury my father..."
Jiang Shumiao tugged at Xiao Yitang's hand and pleaded, "Look how pitiful she is! We won't mind having another person in our family. Just buy her and have her be my maid, to keep me company, okay..."
"Okay, okay, whatever you say."
Xiao Yitang was afraid that she would really cry, so he agreed.
Fuqu was surprised that it was so easy, and after realizing what had happened, she burst into tears of joy.
"Thank you, Madam and Miss. I will repay your kindness with all my heart."
Ordinary people don't speak in such a literary style.
Xiao Yitang pretended not to know and didn't expose him.
As long as my daughter is happy.
