Chapter 27 No New Clothes
Kangping withdrew the money from the Marquis's account, went to the government office, and resolved the matter.
Although the problem was solved, it was known today that Ju Fu Buffet was closed down and a group of peddlers and suppliers sued Ju Fu Buffet to the government.
This is because Xing Dairong was widely praised in the streets at that time, and the news that she was being sued and owed money was also widely spread.
Within one day, Xing Dairong's reputation took a sharp turn for the worse.
From being a kind-hearted and charitable woman, she turned into a slacker who owed money to innocent peddlers, used other people's food to improve her reputation, and finally forced the marquis's mansion to pay for her to clean up her rotten stall.
At the same time, someone spread the news that Xing Dairong was planning to open an unconventional underwear store.
At that moment, because of her previous brothel background, everyone started to talk about her with exaggerated details.
What kind of brothel background is this? She is a scoundrel who only knows how to bully innocent peddlers, lend flowers to others as sacrifices to Buddha, and lend money to others to gain fame. Her head is full of dirty ideas. She only knows how to seduce men, try to get to the top, and deceive the prince of the marquis's mansion.
All of her wonderful stories about immortals suddenly disappeared.
Those friends who were talking about Cheng Yunshuo marrying a wonderful person all changed their tone and started teasing him.
As a result, Cheng Yunshuo didn't dare to go out for a while and just stayed in his Zhaoguang Pavilion.
Although his share was gone, his food still had to be provided for.
But all the meals he ate were the regular meals provided by the mansion. The dishes he had wanted to add at will in the past were no longer available because they had been discontinued as part of the monthly meal.
Anything beyond the standard will cost money.
In a blink of an eye, Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.
Qiu Ling got a new set of clothes.
The Marquis's Mansion is large and powerful. Ordinary maids and servants have two new sets of clothes a year. The concubines have new clothes quotas for four seasons. The concubines get one set of clothes every quarter, and they will get one more set during the New Year and other festivals.
Qiu Ling was happily strolling in the yard wearing her new osmanthus-colored embroidered autumn dress that had just been delivered from the warehouse.
From a distance, I could see Xing Dairong, who was still wearing a thin summer shirt.
"Hey, sister, you're still wearing summer clothes, aren't you cold?"
Qiu Ling went forward, fanning herself.
Things change. When she was in power, Qiu Ling hid herself, but now that Xing Dairong has fallen on hard times, she has to step on him with all her might.
Xing Dairong glanced at Qiu Ling, who was dressed in new clothes, snorted, and walked away.
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Let's talk for a while."
"I have nothing to say to you."
Qiu Ling showed off directly, "Look at my new clothes. How about your new clothes? People give out clothes during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Oh, sorry, I forgot! You are not an aunt yet, so you don't have any share~"
Xing Dairong: "......"
She gritted her teeth and looked at Qiu Ling, the villain who was in power. Damn it, this villain just kept talking about whatever he wanted!
Ever since Cheng Yunshuo's allowance was gone, she had no money to spend.
She had no name or status in the Marquis's Mansion, so she had no monthly salary or allowance.
All her food and clothes had to be paid for by Cheng Yunshuo. She came from a brothel without any autumn clothes, and Cheng Yunshuo had no money, so she couldn't make new clothes.
It's mid-August and I'm still wearing thin summer clothes.
I don't have any autumn clothes.
"What do you have to show off? It's just a bunch of tattered clothes!"
"Ragged clothes...Do you have any?" Qiu Ling fanned herself and looked at her with blinking eyes.
"Okra, let's go back!"
Xing Dairong didn't talk to her anymore. Now that he was down and out, he wouldn't argue with her anymore.
"Sister, don't leave in a hurry. If you really don't have autumn clothes to wear, just tell me. I have two old ones in my room. You can try them on." Qiu Ling smiled.
"If that doesn't work, you can offer the young lady a cup of concubine tea. The young lady is kind and will definitely give you new clothes!"
Xing Dairong walked faster in anger.
After returning to Yaoguang Pavilion, Cheng Yunshuo read in the study.
After the buffet incident was resolved, the two of them gambled for several days without speaking to each other.
Xing Dairong was angry that Cheng Yunshuo didn't stand on her side, didn't support her, and didn't understand her. She was already upset enough because of the failure of her business, and she didn't do it on purpose, so why was he blaming her?
Cheng Yunshuo felt that Xing Dairong was becoming more and more unreasonable. She had clearly done something wrong, but he tried his best to make amends for her, yet she still acted politely and asked others to coax her.
After all, they are just two mortals.
He is still a mortal with mediocre abilities and a host of shortcomings.
The two of them were arguing with each other, neither of them paying any attention to the other.
Xing Dairong had just been upset with Qiu Ling, and he kicked open Cheng Yunshuo's door in frustration.
"What are you doing?" Cheng Yunshuo looked at her unhappily.
Xing Dairong put his hands on his waist, bit his lower lip and looked at him angrily, "This is how you should be a husband!"
Cheng Yunshuo turned his head away, not wanting to pay attention to her, and continued reading.
"Cheng Yunshuo!"
Xing Dairong saw that he was being cold and violent towards him, so he rushed forward and snatched his book.
"Xing Dairong, you were fine, why are you going crazy again?"
"You said I was crazy?" At that moment, Xing Dairong's eyes turned red, she felt angry and aggrieved. She traveled to this world and was alone.
When she was in love the most, she entrusted everything to this man, but he actually said she was crazy.
"You are such a liar! You promised to be good to me for the rest of my life, and now you say I'm crazy! You liar, liar, liar!"
Xing Dairong was tearing up Cheng Yunshuo's book.
Cheng Yunshuo was also annoyed when he saw his book was torn. He stepped forward and grabbed her hand, "How could I lie to you? How could I be bad to you?"
"What about my new clothes? It's already autumn, and I'm still wearing summer clothes. Do you know how that bitch Qiu Ling laughed at me just now? Marrying a man means providing clothes and food, but you don't even make new clothes for me. How can you say that you're being nice to me?!"
Xing Dairong was wronged, and Cheng Yunshuo was also wronged!
When she said this, Cheng Yunshuo said directly, "I'm just filling your hole. My monthly salary for the year is all used up! How can I have money to make clothes for you!"
"Oh! After all, it's still my fault!"
"Aren't you just being stubborn? You have no business sense at all and yet you're just wasting your time!"
"Cheng Yunshuo, you have no conscience!"
Xing Dairong felt so wronged that she cried.
Just then, a breeze came.
"Sir, the young lady asks you to come over."
After hearing this, Cheng Yunshuo let Xing Dairong go. Xing Dairong saw that he was about to leave, so he jumped up and stopped him like an octopus, "I won't let you go! Where are you going? You are not allowed to go anywhere!"
Once or twice is fine, but the third time is when things get annoying.
Cheng Yunshuo pushed Xing Dairong away and said, "Qiu Kui, lock him up in the room!"
"Cheng Yunshuo!"
Xing Dairong was stopped by someone and was screaming hysterically and smashing things in the house.
Lu Lingyun's yard.
Cheng Yunshuo came over with an unhappy look on his face.
