"What a clever girl! Judging from your attire, you must be a servant. But tell me your name. Which family are you from? How can you be so rude?"
Mr. Hu was also angry and shouted loudly.
Wei Ziran glanced at Yaoqin, Yaoqin nodded, and walked over. Mr. Hu looked at Qingyuan and Yaoqin with lustful eyes.
Yaoqin was extremely disgusted and said in a cold voice, "Our young lady is the second daughter of the An Dong Marquis's family, and there is also Miss Sun, the legitimate daughter of the Qiu family. Do you really want to force your way in?"
When Mr. Hu heard this, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
He is just an ordinary businessman, and people calling him "Master" is just giving him face.
How could the Hu family fight against the government?
"My second young lady said, if you dare to have any ideas about the Zhang family's daughter, your Hu family will be expelled from the capital."
Yaoqin left her words and turned back to Wei Ziran.
Qing Yuan looked at the other party with disdain as he fled in disgrace. After the pleasure boat had gone far away, he returned to Qiu Yinong.
Wei Ziran looked at Qing Yuan, gave her a thumbs up and said, "Yier, your personal maid is really good. She really caught up with me when she had something to do, and she really dared to scold me."
"My Qingyuan also practices martial arts, but don't be fooled by her weak appearance." Qiu Yinong introduced happily.
Wei Ziran looked at Qing Yuan again and gave her a thumbs up.
"Thank you both for your help. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid my innocence would be ruined and I would have to become Mr. Hu's ninth concubine."
"Oh, he is a businessman, how dare he openly marry eight concubines?" The laws of the Great Chu have regulations on three wives and four concubines.
Most of them are monogamous. A man can only take a concubine to continue the family line if his wife has no children for five years.
Ordinary families could only take one concubine or one wife at most, not a main room.
The families of high-ranking officials and dignitaries would have at most three wives and four concubines, but this ordinary businessman dared to take in eight concubines.
Wei Ziran and Qiu Yinong laughed at the same time. Zhang Cuilian didn't understand the smiles on their faces at first, but when she reacted, she realized something was wrong.
After having lunch on the pleasure boat, Zhang Cuilian was sent ashore, and Wei Ziran also asked a maid and a servant to escort her back.
So as to avoid being taken advantage of by Mr. Hu again.
He also sent a servant to go to Jingzhao Yin and asked the yamen runners to check on the Hu family.
Since he had such thoughts, he must have used the same method to bring his concubine into the house.
In the afternoon, the two of them strolled along the street, exchanged some gifts, and then prepared to go home.
Yaoqin ran over to report: "Second Miss, Miss Qiu, that man surnamed Hu has been arrested. If nothing unexpected happens, his property will be confiscated and he will be exiled."
"That's what he deserves, you old bastard. He's already over forty years old, and he's still thinking about taking advantage of a fifteen-year-old girl."
Wei Ziran made a disgusted sound, and Qiu Yinong reminded her, "You are a lady."
"Can being a lady be eaten?" Wei Ziran curled his lips in disdain, then covered his mouth and laughed.
Qiu Yinong was also amused by her. Wei Ziran said, "Let's go. Although I don't want you to leave, I know that you are a person with great ambitions, different from us."
"Remember to come visit me in the capital often."
"Yes, don't make it sound like we're parting forever. I'll come to the capital often."
Qiu Yinong comforted happily.
Wei Ziran nodded, and the two got on the carriage together. Wei Ziran had dinner at Qiu's house.
After eating, she stayed in Qiu Yinong's room for a long time before she was willing to leave.
After seeing Wei Ziran off, Qiu Yinong looked at the table full of gifts, sighed, and finally chose to put away most of them.
Anyway, she already has so many secrets. If she has a few more, her parents and grandparents should be used to it.
After breakfast the next day, Qiu Yinong and his group said goodbye to Qiu Ziru and headed towards the pier.
Qiu Ziru ordered a large ship, which was much larger than the one he brought here.
Mu Yunzheng, Wei Ziran and Zhaohe all came to see them off.
"You must write more letters to your mother, okay?" Zhaohe held Qiu Yinong's hand and reminded her.
Qiu Yinong made repeated assurances before Zhaohe let go of her hand: "Let's go, we have to go."
"My child bids farewell to my mother." Qiu Yinong finally changed her words. After all, Zhaohe always called her mother. If she kept calling her stepmother, it would make Zhaohe feel cold.
When Showa heard this, he burst into tears of joy.
"My son is leaving too. Mother, please take care of yourself in the capital." Jingxu also bowed and said goodbye.
Zhaohe said lovingly: "Please take good care of the elders and your sister on the way."
"Don't worry, mother." Jingxu responded, bowed again, and got on the big ship.
Showa is dressed like an ordinary lady today. If you are not a high-ranking official, you really can't recognize her. This is Showa SS18 of Da Chu.
"Sister-in-law... let's go back too." Mu Yunzheng wanted to call Zhaohe, but when he saw Zhaohe staring at him, he quickly changed his words.
Showa's expression finally softened.
"Let's go back." Showa was helped by Lianzhi into the carriage.
Mu Yunzheng also helped Qiu Yuwan onto the carriage, then climbed onto the horse and stood by to protect her.
It takes more than an hour to get back to the inner city from the outer city pier, and he must protect Showa's safety.
…
On the evening of the day Qiu Yinong and the others left, Ji Xueru was also carried into the Zhou family's house in a sedan chair.
Because she was just a concubine, the mistress of the Zhou family only allowed her to bring a maid and a woman into the house.
In order to follow her into the mansion, Xiaolan drugged another personal maid, causing her to suffer from diarrhea.
Seeing that she wanted to follow him into the mansion so much, Ji Xueru sneered and chose her to enter.
Xiaolan was very happy, but she didn't know that she was about to face a situation that was like hell.
