Ling Jiheng ignored the Chen sisters and said to Cui Wan'er, "Miss Cui, Master Cui is fine. I'll have a few medicine packets delivered later. Just boil them and give them to Master Cui on time."
Cui Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him sincerely.
Turning his head to look into the cellar, he saw Doctor Cheng giving acupuncture to Cui Jingzhong.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Cui Yujiao walking towards him in small steps, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
Cui Yujiao's thoughts were too obvious, and since Cui Jingzhong had mentioned it to her several times, both openly and secretly, she would now deliberately distance herself from him.
Intent on getting Ling Jiheng out of the way, he asked, "Young Master Ling, would you like to wait in the ox cart first?"
Ling Jiheng also noticed the annoying girl, nodded, and pulled Chi Xingyue away.
Chi Xingyue didn't understand why, but he still accurately caught a glimpse of a red figure running towards him quickly, and the whole person looked quite disheveled.
After sitting in the carriage, he came back to his senses, grabbed Ling Jiheng's collar and asked, "Did you provoke him?"
Ling Jiheng said innocently: "No, she blamed me."
After saying that, he frowned: "She seems to have this personality. She used to have contact with Song Yuangen."
Chi Xingyue: "...He is so blind!"
"I think that kid is smart!"
Then he talked to Chi Xingyue about Song Yuangen's mental journey.
"Did he tell you?" Chi Xingyue asked.
Ling Jiheng nodded.
Chi Xingyue gave him a thumbs up, thinking that this kid had clear goals and was capable of accomplishing great things.
Just stop trading marriage for benefits; it’s not worth it.
Thinking of this, his face darkened. It seemed like he had done something similar to this before.
Well, the past is too painful to recall, and I can only say that she made the right bet.
I thought Cui Yujiao would stop when she saw Ling Jiheng's attitude, but who knew that she would persist.
I also learned from the Chen sisters that Ling Jiheng's surname was "Lin".
Thinking back to the time when Governor Lin sent mooncakes to her grandfather, Cui Yujiao's eyes lit up even brighter, and she was certain that Ling Jiheng was the governor's son.
If I take her in as my roommate, I won't have to live such a hard life.
Cui Yujiao tidied her hair, walked lightly to the oxcart and said, "Master Lin, I am Cui Yujiao..."
Chi Xingyue lifted the curtain, looked at a pretentious face, and smiled: "This sister is very pretty. I heard that you have chased my husband's ox cart several times. Do you want to sell yourself as a maid?
Because you're so beautiful, I can offer you a high price. How about ten taels of silver?
It’s much higher than the price those traffickers offer!”
Chi Xingyue didn't lower his voice deliberately, so Cui Wan'er heard everything he said.
She unconsciously raised her hand to cover her lips, afraid that she would laugh too happily and lose her dignity.
Cui Yujiao was already nervous because there was a girl next to Ling Jiheng. When she saw the other party's beautiful eyebrows and crisp voice, she felt unwell.
Especially the talk about selling herself as a slave, it just crushed her pride. How was it different from insulting someone?
Even though she was just a concubine's daughter from a side branch family, she was once a daughter of an official family. How could she tolerate such humiliation?
Pointing at Chi Xingyue, he shouted angrily, "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that?"
Chi Xingyue raised her hand and slapped the other person's fingers down, her expression turning colder. "Excuse me, young lady, who are you? How dare you act so arrogantly in Dahe Village?"
The cold tone woke Cui Yujiao up. She was no longer the pampered young lady from an official family.
Anyone can step on a guilty person.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel sad, but I still refused to give up.
She looked into the car with a wronged look, and could only catch a glimpse of Ling Jiheng's profile.
Ah, his chin is so beautiful, not inferior to those noble young men in the capital.
"Sir, look at her... She's just here to talk to you!"
Ling Jiheng coughed lightly and said, "Everything is just as my wife said. If you can't make ends meet, you can sell yourself into slavery.
I can’t guarantee you’ll have spicy food, but I can have plain soup for three meals a day.”
Cui Yujiao's breath was stuck in her throat, unable to go up or down.
He glanced at the two people's clothes that were obviously incompatible with the appearance of the ox cart, and then glanced at the interior of the ox cart calmly.
Low-key yet luxurious, it confirms that the two are reserved and express their feelings directly.
"I have seen you from afar three times, and each time I was impressed by your radiant and heroic demeanor. Yujiao has long admired you. I wonder if I could enter the Lin Mansion as a concubine?"
In order to escape from her current predicament, Cui Yujiao did not hesitate to lower her status.
The most important thing is that she understood that as a criminal, it was impossible for her to marry into a eunuch's family as his legal wife.
Chi Xingyue didn't expect the other party to be so shameless, and directly refused: "The Ling Mansion does not accept concubines, only maids with contracted marriages.
Ms. Cui has a special status, so you should give up this thought!
Not to mention making people feel uncomfortable around her, even if she was willing, the Cui family would not allow such a thing to happen.
She said this to, on the one hand, stop Cui Yujiao from thinking about it, and on the other hand, to show her attitude.
According to the space, Cui Wan'er was born with the fate of a phoenix, and in all likelihood, she would become a queen in this life.
She revealed the situation in advance, in consideration of her help in times of hardship, so that even if she gained power in the future, she would not be able to send people into the mansion.
Of course, this is the ideal situation.
Sure enough, Cui Wan'er was shocked for a long time after hearing that the Ling family would not take concubines.
As a result, her father could not be invited out in time to stop Cui Yujiao from continuing to embarrass herself.
Cui Yujiao, as if she didn't understand what people were saying, began to accuse Chi Xingyue: "Are you a fire-burning girl worthy of marrying Brother Lin?
I'm afraid she's a concubine kept outside. What qualifications do you have to make decisions for him?"
Chi Xingyue's eyes almost rolled up to the sky, and she asked rudely: "Miss, didn't you hear what my husband called me?
She called me wife, you should know what that means!
I'm leaving this here today. You can't enter the Ling family because I'm the head of the Ling family!"
Chi Xingyue holds the financial power, so he naturally has this confidence.
Fearing that this would affect their relationship, Yinbao came out to persuade her, "Miss, my wife is right. She is the head of the family indeed!
It's already bright outside, and there are so many people coming and going, please be mindful of the impact!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Jingzhong came out wearing a cotton jacket, supported by Cui Shouqing.
His face darkened as he yelled at Cui Yujiao, "Go back, you disgraceful thing!"
To be honest, Cui Jingzhong never spoke harshly to the younger generation in his family, especially those from the next generation.
But Cui Yujiao is becoming more and more unreasonable. I don’t know how she was brought up. Isn’t she afraid of causing trouble for the family?
Cui Laoer said that since his house had been ransacked, there was nothing left to be afraid of.
It's not like he would travel thousands of miles to issue an imperial decree to take the lives of these exiles!
That's ridiculous!
Cui Yujiao had never seen her uncle so angry before. Her legs immediately went limp and she ran away with a pale face.
Ling Jiheng got out of the car and helped the person into the house.
Cui Jingzhong's voice was a little weak: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you!"
