Sang Rou realized what was happening.
Yes, as long as they realize that the Ling family will belong to her son in the future, not Ling Ran, these shallow-minded people will immediately turn against her.
Even if she were granted the position of a concubine, it would be considered a step up for them, but once they entered the household, they would be completely under her control and unable to cause any trouble.
Furthermore, she had another important matter to attend to... The master had sent people back to transport out a great deal of gold, silver, jewels, and rare treasures. Those people were tight-lipped and didn't reveal a word, but she guessed that it must be for Ling Ran!
The treasures were given to Ling Ran, but Ling Ran could only keep them at Hu Shuiqing's house. Hu Shuiqing promised them to her daughter as concubines. In return, Hu Shuiqing handed over Ling Ran's rare treasures, so she didn't lose out.
Thinking of this, she suddenly raised her voice and shouted, "Wait! Hu Shuiqing, I have something to say to you."
The man, who had raised his hoe and rake high, turned to look at Shui Qing.
Shui Qing had no intention of drawing blood. These people were, after all, servants of the Ling family, and all she needed to do was get rid of them. Now, hearing Sang Rou's call, she assumed that Sang Rou wanted to leave quickly and replied, "Go ahead."
The men, holding wooden handles, stood guard on both sides, knowing when to stop and not taking advantage of their numbers to be aggressive.
Sang Rou coughed twice to clear her throat, looked around, her expression arrogant, and her tone rather condescending: "This is a great joy for your family."
Shui Qing didn't even raise an eyebrow. She didn't believe that Sang Rou could have any great news about her family.
Aunt Li, Aunt Zhang, and the men who came later were all filled with confusion. What great joy could Shui Qing's family have?
They looked at Sang Rou expectantly.
Ling Qiang stepped out from behind his mother, dusted off his clothes, and stood up straight.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Sang Rou confidently announced, "My son has taken a liking to your daughter. My son is sixteen years old this year and does not yet have a wife. But don't worry, in two years he will pass the imperial examination and be able to find a good match."
By then, your daughter will have reached marriageable age. After my son's wedding, we will immediately bring your daughter into our household. She won't be a maidservant or a lowly concubine, but a noble concubine!
The scene was deathly silent, so quiet that even the sound of swallowing saliva was exceptionally clear.
Fan Xiaoliu blinked, then blinked again, still unable to understand. He looked at Wu Gousheng beside him, puzzled, and asked, "I heard everything you said, but why don't I understand?"
Wu Gousheng shared the same confusion: "I don't understand either, is this a happy occasion?"
Aunt Zhang slapped the two of them on the back and cursed, "What happy occasion! This is an insult to people!"
Who would consider becoming a concubine a happy occasion? Do they think they're people selling their daughters?
"You call her a maidservant, a lowly concubine, or a noble concubine? We rich families really know how to distinguish between them! I'll get you! I'll beat you to death! You dare insult people like that!"
"Yeah, brothers, we can't beat them to death! They're bullying us too much!"
"Beat them! Beat them until they're crawling on the ground, for daring to insult the girls of our village!"
...
The men's necks were bulging with veins, their faces were flushed, and they raised their hoes and rakes high, hurling them at the servants opposite them.
They used to say "know when to stop" and "don't be aggressive just because you have more people," but now they're just taking advantage of their numbers!
They're just a bunch of brutes, all they know is how to fight!
Aunt Li, Aunt Zhang, and Wang Guifen led a group of women to rush forward, some grabbing Sang Rouling's hair, others pinching her arms, their fighting power was formidable.
"You want to be a concubine? Why don't you go be one yourself? You want our Yan Qiu to be a concubine? Don't you even look at yourself in the mirror? You're not even worthy to carry my shoes!"
"Taking a liking for our Yan Qiu is a happy event? That just means you're not blind!"
"Today I'm going to show you why flowers are so red!"
