"It's all my fault, it's all my fault." Gao Pan'er was so focused on faking her tears that she didn't notice the beggars' lingering gazes on her.
He was secretly pleased with himself, thinking he was a great actor and that these beggars deserved it, only worthy of eating what fell on the ground!
The beggars stared at Gao Pan'er's delicate, boneless body, her face streaked with tears, which made her appear even more beautiful. Her body, having given birth, possessed an added charm, and they were almost mesmerized.
Fortunately, knowing that she would have to provide food for him in the future, he reluctantly looked away.
Turning to Qingyan beside Gao Pan'er, well, although she couldn't compare in appearance, her skin was still fair and smooth, and her belt was tied tightly, making her upper body stand out even more.
Unbeknownst to Gao Pan'er, everyone stared at her boldly and unabashedly.
Several beggars were exchanging glances with wicked smiles! Dressed so form-fittingly, what a feast for the eyes, hehehe!
Although there's not much I can do, tonight... hehe...
Qingyan felt that there were eyes on her, which made her very uncomfortable. She looked up but didn't find anything unusual. The beggars were either looking down or glancing at Aunt Gao.
Although nothing seemed amiss, both she and Aunt Gao were weak women, so it was best not to linger among the beggars for too long and leave as soon as possible to put their minds at ease.
Thinking back to how Aunt Gao had asked her to come along this time, and how she hadn't refused, while Xiao Cui, who had come last time, couldn't come because of a stomachache, she felt a surge of resentment.
"Madam, it's getting late, we should head back," Qingyan urged, a hint of anxiety flashing across her face.
"Okay, I understand," Gao Pan'er replied softly as she got up from Qingyan's embrace.
"Keep this silver dollar to buy some food." Gao Pan'er took out a silver dollar from her purse, and seemed a little reluctant as she did so.
However, considering how much wealth he has at home, he doesn't care so much anymore; he'll just treat it as spending money to have some fun.
However, Gao Pan'er wasn't stupid. She took a silver dollar with her when she went out, worried that she might not be able to control herself and give it all away.
"Madam, thank you so much! You're such a kind person." The beggars' eyes immediately fell on the silver dollar. Women may be nice, but they can't be eaten or drunk; silver dollars are much more appealing!
Whether you look at it a little more or a little less, it doesn't matter. The most important thing is to secure the money in your pocket!
The beggar leader stepped forward, took the silver dollar, carefully placed it in the lining of his robe, and kept thanking Gao Pan'er.
The other beggars also smiled and praised him.
"Alright, I'm leaving now, you don't need to see me off." Amidst the compliments, Gao Pan'er's spirits soared, and she felt an unprecedented sense of joy. Satisfied, she departed.
The beggars watched them walk with a swaying gait, their curves becoming more pronounced. They watched them go for a hundred meters, thinking about the money they would put in their pockets, and were quite satisfied.
"Finally, they're gone! My lady, my dear wife, they were so terrifying!" Qingyan helped Gao Pan'er quickly leave the area, only relaxing when they reached the bustling market. She patted her chest, relieved.
"Just now, when the steamed bun fell on the ground, I was scared that they would gang up on me and beat me up. It was so dangerous."
"If they have bad intentions, there are only two of us, and we're in grave danger! We can't stop them anyway."
"Madam, let's not come next time. We can spend the money ourselves, why not? It's such a waste to give it to them."
"Look at how timid you are, they wouldn't dare. Besides, without my occasional help, they'd probably still be living the same life they did before, not knowing where their next meal would come from!"
“Even if they had three times the courage, they wouldn’t dare to touch me. If I don’t give them money and food, they’ll go back to their old lives. If they offend me, they won’t have a good life either.” Gao Pan’er glanced at Qingyan and curled her lips.
"Yes, yes, Madam, it's my fault for being timid and lacking composure. I'm not as calm and collected as you, Madam." Qingyan secretly rejoiced that she had left safely, but praised Gao Pan'er for her insight.
It wasn't that Qingyan was being hypocritical; it was just that she had reminded Aunt Gao before not to come over and do good deeds, but Aunt Gao wouldn't listen to her, so she could only go along with her.
However, Qingyan no longer wanted to come over. After all, she was going to become a concubine in the Mo family in the future. If she went into a group of men and got taken advantage of, she would have no one to cry to.
Next time this happens, I'll try to avoid it if possible. If I really can't avoid it, I'll even take some croton oil myself rather than come over. I'm just too scared to do it.
They might have some reservations because Aunt Gao is a mistress, but I'm still just a little maid, I really can't be stubborn!
Only someone like you, sir, would not waste your body and your looks! Qingyan blushed.
Gao Pan'er didn't notice Qingyan's expression. If she had, she would have cursed her inwardly, "You little slut, winter has just ended and you're already thinking about spring."
When Gao Pan'er came out, she had already asked Qingyan to bring some extra money. Now that it was getting late, Gao Pan'er took Qingyan to a famous pastry shop in town and packed a few bags of snacks.
Now that I have money, and it won't cost much, I should treat myself better. This pastry shop makes really good pastries.
Qingyan smelled the aroma emanating from the pastry box and swallowed hard. Seeing how generous Aunt Gao was, ordering five boxes of such expensive pastries, her desire to become a concubine grew even stronger!
Aunt Gao's family used to be even worse off than mine; they were so poor that rats could run out of her house. She was even worse off than me.
Now, after being a concubine for several years, she has hooked up with the master and is no longer short of money. She eats and uses the best things, and she can buy these pastries that cost five silver dollars a box without batting an eye!
I don't ask for much, I just want to live a comfortable life in my later years! Master, please come back soon! Yan'er misses you, Master…
After Gao Pan'er returned to the manor, she went to see her son and secretly stirred up trouble, intensifying Mo Lu's resentment towards Mo Qian.
She left a box of pastries she had bought for her son, earning a look of adoration from Mo Lu, and left contentedly.
When the master comes back, my son will definitely complain to him. Let's see if she can still act so arrogantly in front of me!
Over the years, through her intentional or unintentional efforts to distance herself from Mo Qian and by deliberately feigning weakness to make Mo Qian make mistakes, she estimated that the father-daughter relationship between the master and her had now been almost completely worn away.
She could finally act freely, no longer needing to consider her status or the master's feelings, and hold that little bitch Mo Qian firmly in her grasp!
Gao Pan'er's lips curled upwards.
