Zhao Xi could hardly believe her ears.
"Miss, what did you say?"
"You heard me right. Tomorrow night, you'll hide in the bridal chamber and take my place during our wedding night."
Zhao Xi felt a deep sadness. She couldn't believe that her mistress didn't know how important a young lady's chastity was.
So, the money the young lady mentioned was equivalent to buying her virginity?
But doesn't she like Qi Mingyu, her son-in-law?
The wedding night is such an important event, why doesn't she go herself?
Could it be that she wasn't a virgin and was afraid that her future husband would find out and be disgusted, so she had someone else take her place?
However, during the time she spent with the young lady, she never saw her interacting with any other men.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this!
Xue Mengyu had no interest in looking at Zhao Xi's mournful face, so she said:
"Alright, tomorrow you will come with me to marry into the Qi family. I will ask my mother for the indenture later."
If you want to leave early the day after tomorrow, I will return the indenture to you.
At that time, I will also give you the money I promised.
Remember, this is something only the two of us know.
If you expose this, I won't let you and your family off the hook.
You know, in this world, money can buy a lot of things, including ruining your whole family!
After Zhao Xi left, looking distraught, Xue Mengyu reached out and touched her lower abdomen, letting out a helpless sigh.
If she hadn't accidentally gotten pregnant while playing with her cousin, and if her body hadn't been so uncooperative that it wouldn't have allowed her to have an abortion, why would she have taken this risk?
Fortunately, Qi Mingyu is indeed good-looking and has a bright future.
Marrying him will not be a bad choice.
She was lucky; she later became the wife of an official.
My cousin, the son of a landlord, is no match for him at all!
But with this child around, if she ever runs into financial difficulties, she can always ask her cousin for money.
Thinking about all this, she touched her lower abdomen again before getting up and going out.
She's getting married soon, and Qi Mingyu is coming to carry her dowry. She needs to go and find an opportunity to meet him and maybe even cultivate a relationship with him.
Her future and the Xue family's prosperity depend on this man!
Chi Yu was unaware of the schemes of both her scumbag husband and Xue Mengyu; at this moment, she was still diligently working in her spatial dimension.
Not only her, but also Qin Mu, Chi Dahu and others were the same.
They were so busy that they didn't leave the space until the evening of the fifth day, when they estimated that Lord Fang should be arriving soon.
However, the land inside is still not fully planted.
They planned to work another night after the wedding tomorrow, while Lord Fang was busy with matters concerning the people of Xiechi'ao.
By noon on the seventh day of the lunar new year, it should be almost time.
We'll present the sweet potatoes then, wait for them to ripen and be harvested quickly, and then plant more!
The men of the Chi family are capable.
Even after leaving the space, Chi Dahu and the others did not rest. Instead, except for Chi Kang, who had to have dinner with his wife, the rest of them carried baskets and went out.
Their baskets were filled with fresh potato vines.
To be on the safe side, Lord Fang may have to go to the potato planting site to check on things in the next day or two.
After the men in the family left, Chi Qiao turned to look at Chi Yu.
"Little Fish, have you thought about how we should host the banquet tomorrow?"
Since Lord Fang is coming, I think we should at least have six tables.
There are three tables for all of us from the Chi family.
The people brought by Lord Fang will fill one table, and Shen Kai and his group will probably need to fill another table as well.
Third Uncle, the clan head and elders, as well as Scholar Song and his group, also need one or two tables.
Also, is the banquet still the same as before, with six dishes?
"With Lord Fang coming, and Qin Mu getting married for the first time, he's prepared so much in betrothal gifts; our wedding can't be too meager."
