Chapter 895: The Prince of the Duke's Mansion vs. the Black Lotus Daughter 37
The wedding date is set for the eighth day of May.
The Duke's Mansion wanted to marry her, and even though Xu wanted Ji Yunhuan to die immediately, she had to put on a smile and agree to marry her.
If she had known this would happen, she should have strangled Ji Yunhuan to death yesterday and should not have listened to Nanny Wan's advice and sent her to a brothel to be tortured.
It's too late now, and Xu still has to pretend to be happy and congratulate the master.
Ji Changmao was very happy. "Fortunately, I didn't kill this evil creature yesterday. He is really a fickle thing. He even attached himself to the Duke's Mansion. He is even stronger than the Shen family."
"I see that the Duke's Mansion is flourishing. Shi Ting's dream may not be true. When I become the father-in-law of the prince, why should I worry about not being able to get promoted and make a fortune?"
"Ji Yunhuan is a timid person who knows how to deal with things. Even if she goes to the Duke's Mansion, she will not dare not help the family. Time is short, so the matter of sending her off will be left to Madam. It must be done in a grand manner, so as not to bring shame to the Ji family."
The first thing Ji Yunhuan did after returning was to find Mi Xue.
Mi Xue was taken away by human traffickers, but fortunately, Wang Gui redeemed her with money before she could be sold.
Xu originally wanted to keep Mi Xue in his hands so that he could control Ji Yunhuan in the future, but he was a step too late, and it was not convenient for him to go to Ji Yunhuan's yard to snatch her away, so he had to give up.
In addition to Mi Xue, the little maidservants who were sold together were also redeemed. At this time, they all knelt neatly in the yard and kowtowed to Ji Yunhuan.
With the betrothal gift of 108 loads, plus the things that the immortal had given her before, Ji Yunhuan had no shortage of money now. She rewarded the maids generously and kept them to serve her.
Whether she was in the Ji family or went to the Duke's Mansion in the future, she would need manpower around her. These maids were all kind people and were on good terms with Mixue. Just because they had a little kindness towards her, they were sold out by Xu.
Several maids were overjoyed and asked the eldest lady to give them names after receiving the reward money. In the past, they were not capable people around their master and did rough work and had no proper names.
Only after the master gave them names can it be regarded as a sign of remembering them and making use of them.
"You all look about the same age, so we'll sort you by height, from tallest to shortest, Hanchun, Yingxia, and Jinqiu. You don't have to do anything, just take good care of them. From now on, you will listen to Mixue's arrangements."
The three maids thanked her and immediately started looking for work, fearing that the young lady would be dissatisfied with them.
Wang Gui knelt down with a plop. "My dear Miss, you are kind and righteous. I am willing to follow you! Mi Xue is a girl. It is always inconvenient for her to go out to do things. I am willing to run errands for you."
Wang Gui was not Xu's dowry, and the Ji family did not have any servants in the past. Wang Gui's family were all hired by Ji Changmao to show off their family. Later, when Xu was in charge of the Ji family, she naturally made use of her own servants. Wang Gui became a small manager in the kitchen, doing a mediocre job.
He knew that he would not be able to make a name for himself in the Ji family. The eldest daughter would soon become the Crown Prince's consort, and there was no one loyal to her. If he surrendered to the Ji family now, he would become the eldest daughter's confidant!
The yard was too small and could not hold all the dowry. More than half of it was scattered around the yard. The people in the Duke's Mansion didn't know where to put it, so they came to ask Ji Yunhuan.
Wang Gui knew that his chance to show off had come, so he said loudly, "Reporting to the young lady, beyond this wall is the servants' quarters. There are several empty rooms that can be put away after tidying up. Just open a small door here and block off another door over there, and those rooms will belong to the young lady's yard, making it convenient to take things away."
"I know a bricklayer, so I can fix it today and move everything over tonight. It won't be damaged at all."
Ji Yunhuan ordered people to give money to Wang Gui, no more and no less. Now Wang Gui was not loyal to her at all, he just wanted a better future, and she couldn't let him work for nothing.
"I'll leave this matter to you. If you do a good job, I will naturally reward you and use you in the future. But as for Mi Xue's marriage, it depends on Mi Xue's own wishes. I won't even mention you. Do you understand?"
Wang Gui is indeed a good man, knowing her background and being much better than anyone else she could find outside. However, she would not use Mi Xue's marriage to exchange for Wang Gui's loyalty, so she had to make it clear and not let Wang Gui think that he could marry Mi Xue by doing things for her.
Wang Gui nodded repeatedly, "I understand! I'm still young and have plenty of time to wait. If we see each other so often, we'll have feelings for each other."
After dealing with these trivial matters, Ji Yunhuan went into the house.
Mi Xue was lying on the bed, covered in wounds. Even though she had been bandaged, blood would still seep out if she moved the slightest, staining the gauze red.
Jin Qiu failed to get a seat next to Ji Yunhuan, so he stayed in the house to look after Mi Xue. When he saw Ji Yunhuan coming, he immediately bowed to greet her.
Mi Xue struggled to get up. Ji Yunhuan sat beside the bed and fed her medicine with a bowl. "Be good and don't move. There are enough people in the yard now. Just lie down and recuperate."
Mi Xue took the medicine bowl and drank it all, her face wrinkled with bitterness, "You can't lie in the lady's room, I'd better move out. It's not a big deal, just a few hits, it will be fine in a few days, why do you need to drink such expensive medicine?"
"I am really fine. I don't need anyone to serve me. I can still serve the young lady. How can I be so delicate?"
Ji Yunhuan waved her hand and sent everyone away. She touched Mi Xue's pale face and tears fell one by one.
"Don't move! Just stay here and take good care of yourself. I've also made some tonic for you, and I'll make sure you drink it! Drink it three times a day! We don't lack money now, we just want to live a good life, Mi Xue should be so pampered, you are not a slave, you are my sister!"
"I had no choice but to bring you into the Ji family as a maid. If it weren't for Grandma Li who saved me, I would have drowned long ago. Grandma treated me like her own granddaughter. If you had a bite to eat, I would have a bite to eat. I promised Grandma that I would bring you to the capital to live a good life, but I didn't do it."
"For ten whole years, you haven't had a good day. You've been hungry, cold, beaten and punished because of me. I'm sorry for you. I want to take care of you and lead a good life. You'll have enough food and warm clothes, a high bed and soft pillows, and gold and silver. No one will bully you anymore!"
Mi Xue burst into tears, "Sister has never let me down. As soon as grandma died, we were targeted by kidnappers. If sister hadn't been smart and escaped, and brought people to rescue me, I don't know where I would have ended up."
"We depend on each other for survival. We are lucky to be alive. I don't know why the Duke's Mansion suddenly came to propose marriage. The Ji family is of low status. I'm afraid it won't be easy for her to live in the Duke's Mansion. I will always be with my sister."
A sleeping pill was added to the medicine. Mi Xue cried for a while and soon fell asleep.
Jin Qiu rushed in and shouted, "Miss, this is bad! Miss No. 2 has come in with a lot of people, saying that something is missing from the mansion and they want to search our yard!"
