Chapter 200 The Unattainable Marquisate
Shuanghong followed Captain Qian to the teahouse.
I had a small pot of tea and three plates of snacks. I added hot water four or five times and drank tea for an hour.
Captain Qian kept apologizing to Shuanghong, and finally after hearing that Shuanghong was upset, she forgave him.
Captain Qian saw her frown and said with a smile, "It's almost time for dinner. I'll take you to the Honour Hotel for dinner later."
"No, the young lady still needs my service." Shuanghong stood up.
"Why are you in such a hurry? The young lady has so many people there, and they don't need you."
Shuang Hong glared at him, "Young Madam is so generous and tolerant, how can I be so shameless!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Then tomorrow, when you finish your work, I will treat you to dinner in the evening."
"Who will have dinner with you tonight?"
"So when do you have to rest?"
"I don't have any rest this month." Shuanghong said as she went out.
The captain gave the tea money and hurriedly caught up with him. "But I can only stay in the Marquis' Mansion for four days. After four days, I have to go to Jiangnan for business. It will take half a year for me to come back. Shuanghong, please divide your time evenly. I really don't have time. I will wait for you to have lunch at noon and find you."
Shuanghong lowered her head and said, "Let's talk about it later."
With a smile on her face, she walked quickly towards the back door of the mansion with her head lowered. As soon as she turned a corner, she heard a quarrel.
"You let Frost Red come out!"
"That's our biological sister! Our father is sick! Just let her out to see her for the last time!"
"You are a noble family with a lot of wealth, but you can't stop her from seeing her biological father for the last time!"
Shuanghong's smiling face froze in an instant.
Three shabby and shabby men surrounded the back door of the mansion, some old and some young. Shuanghong's father was not at home. The three of them looked pitiful and shouted to go in, but were stopped by the servants of the mansion.
"Get out!" The servants of the Marquis' Mansion received Lu Lingyun's order that anyone who came to look for Shuanghong's relatives would be driven away.
This time they showed no mercy. Unlike before when they just exchanged a few words, this time they just forcefully drove people away.
Seeing that the Marquis' Mansion was so tough, the three people who were shouting became dispirited.
They are used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong. If the Marquis' Mansion treats them with respect and the people inside value their reputation or are kind-hearted, they will cling to them like a thorn in the flesh. Just like the first time, they sent Danhong over there as a test.
If Dan Hong could please the people inside, they would not have to rely on luck, but if she could meet the mistress of the house and get a little reward or a few sweet words from her, they would know that this wealthy family is worth getting close to!
What a pity.
This marquis's mansion is indeed deep and deep, out of reach, and cannot be easily provoked.
The last time Danhong went in, she was only scolded and Lu Lingyun didn't even look at her.
After they tried several times, they realized that this marquis's mansion was serious and very stern.
"Bah! What a lousy place! It's so unfair! They didn't even let me see my own father for the last time!"
"How cold-blooded and heartless! How heartless!"
"Your mistress has no humanity at all!"
The group of people didn't gain any advantage and could only curse at each other.
Hearing that they dared to curse the Marquis' Mansion and Lu Lingyun, the gatekeepers picked up poles and started to beat them.
Two slaps came down on them. This time, they didn't even dare to curse and ran away with their tails between their legs.
They were wondering why they didn't get any advantage, but suddenly they saw Frost Red appearing at the corner.
"sister!"
"Frost Red!"
When Shuanghong saw them, her brows furrowed into a shape of a "川" (a character in Chinese).
She tried to run away, but Xiaobao, who was the fastest runner, rushed to her and hugged her legs, "You are not allowed to leave!"
"Sister, why are you leaving?" Danhong followed closely behind. She grabbed her sleeve tightly with her eyes shining as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw. "Dad is sick. Now only you can save him! Go see him!"
Shuanghong's face turned cold, she pursed her lips and said nothing.
"That's your biological father!" The old woman staggered over, crying and sobbing, "How can you be so unfilial!"
A hand touched Shuanghong's body. When she lowered her head, she met the vicious gaze of her half brother, "Give me money. If you don't, you can't run away today!"
He went up and down to grab the money bag on Shuanghong's body, and the little guy's eyes were full of greed and pride.
"You little bitch, why don't you buy me some meat buns? Grandma said all your money is mine, so give me all your money!"
At this moment, an angry shout came from behind her, "What are you doing!"
Team leader Qian, who was following a few steps behind, caught up. The moment his tall figure appeared behind Shuanghong, all the black shadows like flies and stink bugs retreated.
Captain Qian grabbed Xiaobao who was hugging Shuanghong's thighs and said, "You little beast, you have no respect for your parents, you are looking for death!"
When Xiaobao was picked up, he immediately wilted. His eyes, which had just seemed to be filled with poison, became frightened and weak. He opened his mouth and cried in fear.
Captain Qian threw him away in disgust, but his grandmother immediately hugged him tightly in her arms as if he were her own precious child, and hugged the crying little treasure with heartache.
"All of you get out of here!" Captain Qian had no mercy at all. Having traveled all over the country for so many years, he was definitely not a kind-hearted person. The reason he let them cheat him was purely because they were Shuanghong's relatives. Now that he knew what kind of people they were, he showed them no mercy at all.
He angrily scolded the old and young in front of him, "You stinky bastards think that Shuanghong has no one to protect her! You bully me all the time! You sold me out once and you still have the nerve to lie to me! I'm going to see your damn Lao Deng's father, he'd better die today, or I'll kill him first!"
"If you dare to mess with Shuang Hong again, don't even mention that Shuang Hong still has the Marquis' Mansion behind her. Even if it's me, I will be the first to disapprove. I guarantee that you will all enter the capital standing upright and be carried out sideways!"
After hearing these words, Shuanghong raised her head and looked in surprise at the tall man standing in front of her to protect her.
A thousand huge waves suddenly rose in my heart.
Facing the powerful Qian team, the three people on the opposite side all huddled together. Xiaobao didn't even dare to cry. The old woman held her life force in her arms, half lowered her head, her shrewd eyes narrowed into a line, timid and calculating. Danhong didn't dare to say a word, but her eyes were full of resentment. Finally, the three of them left dejectedly under the pressure.
"Let's go."
At this time, Shuanghong called Danhong.
"Danhong."
"elder sister!"
When she heard being called, Danhong's eyes immediately lit up with indignation, and she looked towards Shuanghong as if she saw hope.
"You've figured it out, right? I knew you weren't that cold-blooded. You would definitely be willing to go with us to see Dad. Dad is very ill and he's always thinking about you. Please save him!"
Shuanghong listened to her long speech and interrupted her, "Are you willing to leave them? As long as you are willing to leave them, I will find you a job in the capital."
Danhong is the only relative she is willing to recognize in this world, and Shuanghong wants to give her one last help.
