Chapter 77 He is only worth two taels of silver

Zhenyang Marquis Mansion.

The servants were busy, preparing to hang up the plaque of "Fenghua Pavilion" again.

Xie Zhuoning came back to the room and saw it. His brows furrowed and he ordered directly, "Take it down."

This plaque was originally inscribed for her by Xiao Bicheng. She felt extremely disgusted every time she saw it, but in order to be hypocritical to him, she had to endure it.

But now that the two of them have broken up, she doesn't need to do such superficial work.

The servants were quick and efficient and immediately took down the plaque.

But the eaves are bare and don't look very nice.

Xie Zhuoning went into the house and asked someone to grind ink and spread paper, and wrote three words by himself - Fuyaoge.

One day a strong gale arose, and the wind rose straight up to ninety thousand miles.

She wanted to rise straight up and trample the most noble prince and Prince Yong in the world under her feet!

"Take it and have it made into a plaque and hang it up."

"Yes." Fuling answered, and then asked, "What about the original piece?"

After all, it was written by the prince himself, and the servants did not dare to deal with it casually.

Xie Zhuoning said casually, "Chop it up and use it as firewood."

She thinks that thing takes up too much space.

Just as Fuling was about to go out, a figure rushed in with great momentum and almost bumped into her.

She was startled, and when she saw who it was, she quickly said, "Young Master, please slow down."

"Get out of here!" Xie Minglang said coldly.

When Xie Zhuoning raised his head, a strong smell of alcohol hit his face.

She frowned, but before she could say anything, Xie Minglang asked, "Why do you want to split up the family?"

His expression suddenly turned cold, and Xie Zhuoning looked over calmly, "Is this the way you talk to me?"

Xie Minglang's face was flushed, and it was unclear whether he was drunk or ashamed.

He stiffened his neck and refused to bow his head. "You don't even acknowledge your grandmother. I'd rather not have a sister as cold-blooded as you!"

Hearing his words, Xie Zhuoning's eyes turned cold.

Judging from his appearance, he must have just come back from drinking.

Then he must have heard the rumors outside.

Before the prince got married, he went to have an affair with Princess Yunxue, who was to be married off to a foreign princess.

What a scandal!

I'm afraid even the three-year-old kids on the street know it, right?

Has he ever thought about what kind of situation his elder sister, the future Crown Princess, would be in?

I guess I haven't thought about it.

Otherwise, why would he come back at this time after drinking, and why would he be so angry and question her?

Xie Zhuoning suddenly felt tired and even too lazy to argue with him.

"If you don't recognize me, you can just stay over there and don't come hanging around in front of me and bother me!"

Xie Minglang was incredulous. "Sister, when did you become like this? You used to be so gentle and sensible!"

Gentle and sensible?

Anyone who was forced to be a concubine for five years would become a completely different person.

Xie Zhuoning told Xia Ju not to go see him again, "Show him away!"

With Xia Ju's skills, the drunk Xie Minglang had no power to fight back and was dragged out.

From a distance, I could still hear him yelling, "Sister, you've made everyone leave you alone, you'll regret it sooner or later!"

Xie Zhuoning felt a pang of pain in his heart, and he felt extremely sad.

I couldn't believe these were words spoken by my own brother.

She closed her eyes tiredly only after the person walked away.

Did she really do something wrong in this life?

Is it right to be confused and be deceived by Liang and Liang Ke and elope?

Is it possible for her to turn a blind eye and let the people in the first house do whatever they want to her?

Is it right to swallow one's anger, endure all the grievances, and cover up their broken insides?

She couldn't help asking herself, if she could do it again, would she do it again?

The answer is almost certainly yes.

Can!

She still does it!

So there is nothing to regret. Since you have done it, you should bear the consequences.

Fuling saw her young lady's expression and couldn't help but step forward to comfort her, "Young lady, don't worry, the young master didn't mean it. He is just too young and has been studying in the academy. He doesn't know what happened at home, so he misunderstood you."

Xie Zhuoning waved his hand and said, "Stop speaking well of him."

I had already told him everything about my family affairs that day.

The news of her entering the palace to break off the engagement had caused a lot of commotion, there was no way he didn't know about it.

He didn't even think about why his grandmother agreed to divide the family so easily!

Well, let him stay there.

He is now the big fat sheep in the eyes of everyone in the Xie family, and everyone wants to get a piece of him.

Since he is so opinionated, let him suffer a little so that he will understand the evil nature of human nature.

The next day.

The human traffickers came to the door.

Xie Zhuoning selected some little girls and handed them over to Fuling to train them well.

He also selected some strong and healthy people to stay in the mansion as servants.

In this way, the Zhenyang Marquis Mansion finally looked presentable.

"Fuling, settle the money for Mrs. Wang." Xie Zhuoning gave the order and stood up to leave.

The next moment, a figure suddenly ran out from the crowd of losers and knelt on the ground with a "thump".

He closed his eyes and shouted desperately, "Miss, please buy me!"

Xie Zhuoning turned around and glanced at him. He was skinny and frail, with unkempt hair and ragged clothes. He looked no different from a street beggar.

This is also the reason why Xie Zhuoning did not choose him.

"I... I've been educated, so I can help you, young lady!"

Seeing that Xie Zhuoning didn't say anything, he was afraid that she would not agree, so he quickly showed off his own advantages.

Xie Zhuoning's eyes flickered, and he asked someone to give the matchmaker another two taels of silver, "I want this person."

The matchmaker wanted to bargain, "Miss, he can write, so he will be very useful in the future. I want at least five taels of silver, right?"

Xie Zhuoning said calmly, "It's obvious that he's not in good health. If you buy him back, you'll have to spend a lot of money on medicine to get him back to health. If you don't sell it, you can just keep it for your own money."

"Sell, sell, sell!" The matchmaker quickly let go.

Miss Xie was right. This guy has been in her hands for a long time, and she can't sell him every time she takes him out.

One time, someone finally wanted to take advantage of the situation and chose him. He covered his mouth and coughed, and blood came out. Others were so scared that they quickly drove them out.

Now that someone is willing to take over, she is really grateful.

The matchmaker handed the indenture to Fuling, and Fuling handed the silver to the matchmaker.

Silver and currency are both checked.

The man smiled bitterly and said, "I never thought that I was only worth two taels of silver."

Xie Zhuoning glanced at him strangely and told Yin Xuan, "Take him and wash him clean before reporting back."

"yes."

Not long after, the man finished washing up and came in front of Xie Zhuoning.

"Hello, young lady." He saluted with a proper bow.

Now that he had washed off all the dirt on his body and put on clean clothes, he looked quite interesting.

Like a flawless bright moon, like a peerless young man.

But his skin was very pale, almost sickly pale, and he looked somewhat frail.

Xie Zhuoning saw this and said, "I was right. You are pretending to be ugly on purpose, right?"
