Pei Huanxiu absolutely did not want to be sold.
But looking at his face, Shi Anren knew he was born to sell.
Look at how alluring she is; both men and women find her attractive. Most people wouldn't have this talent to sell themselves.
Pei Huanxiu saw a vase, grabbed it, and smashed it against Shi Anren. "You beast!"
Shi Anren turned his head quickly, only to be slapped in the face, his nose bleeding. Enraged, he released one hand and slapped him back.
The servants of the Shi family came to help and quickly took Pei Huanxiu away.
This is a huge purchase; the Pei family's other assets are far more valuable.
Shi Anren wasn't lying; if you can please someone, you can turn your life around.
Pei Huanxiu is truly clever; it would be a real loss not to sell such talent.
"Mother!" Pei Huanxiu cried out.
Shi Anren coaxed her all the way: "Your mother and sister both depend on you. It's not easy for anyone to make a living. Do you think it's easy for me as your brother-in-law? I have to ask for favors for you too. I'll need your help in the future."
"I'm going to kill you!" Pei Huanxiu cursed angrily.
Shi Anren wasn't afraid: "You're still young, you don't understand. You'll be grateful to your brother-in-law in the future. Even if you scold your brother-in-law, I'll tolerate it, as long as you're well and the Pei family is well."
Qinglong Hall.
Pei Yuannu huddled there, unaware.
But everyone knows the Pei family is being watched. If their daughter is being targeted, how can their son escape?
Li coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted.
"Grandmother!" Madam Ma and several maids called out.
Li immediately opened her eyes and stared at Cao with a gloomy expression.
Cao was startled.
Li Shi spoke in a sinister tone, calling to Qian Shi, "She'll come with me. From now on, the Pei family will depend on you."
Qian's heart skipped a beat, and she saw the old witch faint again. Whether she was truly unconscious or feigning it, she didn't know.
However, the Qian family viewed the Cao family differently.
Cao was in tears as she looked at her son. She had two sons.
Madam Qian was even more straightforward: "Send the old lady back."
Several wives and servants came and dragged Cao away.
No one knows what will happen to the Cao family after the Li family leaves. In any case, the Pei family doesn't need the Cao family.
Pei Bo was still grieving for his son. He didn't want this; he had loved Si Lang since he was very young. But wasn't this for Si Lang's own good?
The Pei family has no future; if there's an opportunity, Silang should seize it. Pei Bo waits at home.
Qing'e Palace.
It's quiet now.
Xie Zhou was holding his wife in the Chengen Hall, in his study, lying on the couch.
Xie Zhou pulled his wife into his arms, gazing at the sliver of light outside the window; it was incredibly beautiful.
Huan Yue thought his face was handsome, so handsome it made one want to commit a crime.
It looks beautiful from every angle. It's a shame it's such a waste.
Xie Zhou looked at his wife. Didn't he like her? He loved her face; she was beautiful no matter how he looked at her.
Huan Yue is indifferent. Just because someone is good-looking doesn't mean they're his. Dream on.
The eunuch watching these two, sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams, is classic enough. And then, out of nowhere, violence erupts.
Xie Zhou whispered to his wife, "Actually, the harem isn't a big deal."
Huan Yue sneered. Did he know what constituted a problem?
Xie Zhou kissed her, Xiangxiang.
A palace attendant outside called out, "Consort Di has returned."
Huan Yue replied, "Let her come over."
I bet he's so excited he won't be able to sleep well tonight without letting it all out.
Di Baose came over happily, not even looking at His Highness, and plopped down next to the Empress.
Xie Zhou scolded, "You came here without even changing your clothes?"
Palace maids came to light the lanterns.
Di Baose took a sip of tea, the kind of profound and nuanced expression that only a sip could convey: "Stunning beauty! The six beauties that Consort Cui sent to Prince Zheng are all top-tier, two of them being the absolute best! I really want to bring them back and present them to Your Highness, but I'm afraid it wouldn't sound quite right. I think His Majesty sent the Empress to see Consort Cui hoarding such beautiful flowers! One for Prince Zheng would be enough, and one for Prince Qi as well!"
Huan Yue understood what she meant, but asked, "Is she really that beautiful?"
Di Baose called out, "Sunny, come here."
Sunny approached with her head down and whispered, "Two of them are truly stunning beauties! Another one has a subtle fragrance. One is slightly chubby, but definitely pleasing to the eye and feels wonderful to the touch. The other two look like they could dance."
Huan Yue understood: "The six of them are a set because they're afraid the Prince of Zheng won't be able to be deposed. If Consort Cui can't have him, she'll destroy him. If she can't have his heart, she'll keep his body in Sheng'an."
Sunny whispered, "It seems to have that vibe."
Huan Yue sneered: "Wouldn't it be best to send two beauties like that to the Prince of Qi's residence? That's why she's a fool!"
Di Baose nodded: "That's stupid! The Zheng Prince's mansion is indeed wealthy, and they want to give him everything good, but is it really good?"
Huan Yue said, "If you want to ruin him, this is the way to do it. No one can say anything about it."
Sunny was delighted.
A trip to the Prince Zheng's Mansion was both eye-opening and exhilarating.
Sunny whispered, "To keep Prince Zheng here, Consort Cui specially ordered people to watch over him, making beauties bathe and dress him up. All sorts of fine things, probably..."
Huan Yue nodded. Consort Cui used it to seduce the Emperor.
Di Baose bluntly said: "How shameful!"
Huan Yue laughed and said, "It's not for you to see."
Sunny said in a low voice, "It's really embarrassing to be hit like that by Consort Di. The beauty was sobbing, even I felt sorry for her."
Huan Yue reprimanded Di Baose: "The beauties are innocent, why are you scaring them?"
Di Baose snorted, "Don't you know there are two people who have provoked me? The servants of the Cui family are even more arrogant."
Huan Yue said, "You've already come to her door, and you're blaming her for being arrogant? Fine, go back and wash up and go to sleep."
Di Baose was completely satisfied.
Sunny followed, promising not to look around.
I visited the Prince Zheng's Mansion today and felt that there were many beautiful women there.
The key is to use your brain. Don't offend Lady Huan.
Besides, if a man is interested on his own, there's no need to seduce him. Otherwise, going through all the trouble of seducing him only leads to a lifetime of scheming and backstabbing—is that worth it?
Di Baose walked out of Qing'e Palace, hahaha!
Zhu Jin was speechless. Lady Huan should really do something about her.
I reckon Consort Cui will come knocking again tomorrow.
This really hit her sore spot. She wanted to keep the King of Zheng, but she couldn't; everyone was her enemy.
Fortunately, the Crown Prince is not afraid of being her enemy, since they were already enemies to begin with.
Since the Crown Prince was there by imperial decree, those people should be more restrained.
As for Consort Cui, it's likely that she became arrogant because Empress Dong was suppressed.
But the blame shouldn't be placed on Empress Dong. Even though Consort Cui had fallen out of favor, she still dared to act arrogantly; that's just her nature.
Huan Yue ignored it, got up, and prepared to go back to sleep.
Xie Zhou held his wife tightly, refusing to let go: "Why don't we rest here together?"
Huan Yue glanced at him: "I'm afraid the sky will fall when I wake up tomorrow."
Wu Ben huddled in the corner, not daring to utter a sound. The Empress's threat was very effective.
Xie Zhou wasn't afraid; he was afraid of angering her.
Even so, Xie Zhou still wouldn't let go. Why wouldn't his wife sleep with him?
Huan Yue asked, "Would you like two of those stunning beauties to come over?"
Xie Zhou replied firmly, "I want you."
Huan Yue asked, "Do you want stars?"
Wu Ben had already heard the story of the stars.
A palace attendant came over and reported: "Shi Anren tricked Pei Huanxiu away and sold her to Cuiyun Pavilion."
Huan Yue asked, "Who will take over?"
The eunuch said, "Master Qiu is behind Cuiyun Pavilion. I've never heard of him liking it before, and I don't know what will happen next."
