She quickly assured them, "My sister has been living with relatives for several years. She only came back recently because she reached marriageable age and had to go home to participate in the wedding procession. Nobody knows anything about my situation. It was all my doing."
Yuwen Sheng believed it.
Zheng Quchi appears to be a simple-minded person, unlike Sang Xuanqing, who is cunning and rebellious.
Others' harsh words are spoken in a gentle manner.
"You'd better stay away from her. If there's no need to see her again in the future, then I can promise you what you've asked for: whatever sins or mistakes you commit in the future, they will not harm your family."
She looked up in a daze, and there was a huge surprise in her eyes.
Is he... explicitly and publicly agreeing to her previous request?
He even promised her more favorable terms than she had previously mentioned, promising not to punish her entire family for any sins or wrongdoings.
"Sang Xuanqing, thank you, General."
But the surprises didn't stop there.
"Your wages... should be doubled as well."
Zheng Quchi took a deep breath.
"Double?! Does that mean double the craftsman's wages?"
From initial excitement and exhilaration, she is now filled with panic.
The good news came so suddenly that she was afraid her heart couldn't handle it.
"Of course. It is said that in folk tradition, girls should be raised with plenty, while boys should be raised with poverty. With your meager salary, how can you possibly raise your sister well?" Yuwen Sheng reminded her casually.
Is there such a humane saying among the people of Ye? How come she's never heard of it before?
Wages to lavishly support his younger sister?
Oh, she got it.
Perhaps she guessed wrong.
Yuwen Sheng doesn't have any extraordinary relationship with Liu Fengmian. Perhaps he has always had a crush on her sister. Otherwise, why would he care whether someone else's sister is well-off or not?
Wait a minute, her sister... isn't that just herself?
But when she was dressed as a woman, she had never met Yuwen Sheng, so she only had a vague idea. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that she had over-interpreted his meaning.
Since it's double wages for free, why not accept it?
She suppressed a smile and quickly said, "Yes, yes, I have two younger sisters, and I will definitely take good care of them."
two?
Yuwen Sheng remembered.
Oh, the Sang family seems to have a younger sister who is mentally challenged but very sensitive to human nature.
But whether she is raised in a wealthy family or not is none of his business.
Yuwen Sheng leaned down slightly and whispered in her ear in a voice that no one else could hear, "Sang Xuanqing, you're very lucky. This time... you've escaped another calamity."
After leaving behind a sentence that left Zheng Quchi completely puzzled, Yuwen Sheng left the Casting Bureau with his men.
What does it mean to escape unscathed?
She always felt that Yuwen Sheng wasn't referring to this particular incident.
——
When Zheng Quchi returned to Guixu Ridge with the excitement of receiving double the wages, he was suddenly stopped by a handsome young man.
He grabbed her arm, his eyes filled with concern and worry: "Ruler, are you alright?"
Zheng Quchi's hair stood on end.
Autumn? !
Why wasn't he arrested?
After exchanging a glance, Zheng Quchi immediately realized that her expression and state were not right. How could a Mo family spy who had escaped arrest by chance be so relaxed and happy?
She has to put on a show.
"I was terrified! You have no idea how dangerous it was..."
