[Lu Dacheng kept many beautiful and virtuous women to use as medicine furnaces; one can imagine what Gu Shenge's fate would be.]
[Sigh, she seemed like such a nice girl, how could everyone be so blind? Why didn't she just find an ordinary person to date, instead of getting involved with that royal family? Wouldn't it have been better to have a peaceful ending?]
Besides, she can support herself; she's talented and beautiful, so why should she depend on a man?
I'm going to see Uncle Fan tomorrow to discuss our big money-making scheme.
Those who heard Li Xingran's mutterings had different feelings.
Li Ruizhang felt that this love was too torturous.
By the way, my sister doesn't seem to have ever mentioned his wife?
But then he thought about it again. He had ended up in bed with Xiao Yuyan's maid and had been castrated. Who would want to marry him?
Forget it, I'll just stay at Tianji Mountain and learn how to make mechanisms from my grandparents. I shouldn't think about Yan Ruyu anymore.
Li Ruiheng and Li Ruijin were very interested in their sister's money-making plan. The two whispered to each other that they should keep a close eye on their sister for the next few days and see if they could get some benefits out of her.
Li Ruiqi felt great sympathy for Gu Shenge's future.
Although this little girl is only five years old, you can already see her delicate features and her aloof and independent expression.
Although he was implicated because of his corrupt grandfather, he did not lose the courage to live.
This is quite rare.
Xiao Sheng, however, sensed something else entirely.
Li Xingran is independent and self-reliant at heart; she wants to make a good life for herself with her own hands.
What kind of soul supports her and gives her such a belief?
In contrast, he, as the crown prince, is still thinking of relying on others.
[Father, let's buy Gu Shenge. She'll be useful later. Xiao Ding likes her too. We'll teach her well, as long as she doesn't like Xiao Ding.]
[Her maternal grandfather's conviction was orchestrated by Zhao Yunwan.]
Let her seek revenge; we'll help her.
However, I'm only one year old, and we've already turned the tables on many parts of the story. We probably won't even need Gu Shenge to intervene anymore.
[We can help her get rid of her slave status later, so she can live an honest and open life in this world.]
Li Ting nodded to Gu Shenge, and Gu Shenge stepped forward to stand with Chen Sanduo and Feng'er.
"Xueli, nine years old, from Xiangzhou."
"Father, Father, buy her. This girl was burned to death with me in the book by Xiao Yuyan. This time I'm going to treat her well; we definitely won't have that ending again."
Before the matchmaker could finish speaking, Li Ting nodded.
Shirley laughed happily and greeted him crisply, "Shirley greets Grand Tutor Li. Shirley thanks Grand Tutor Li for his great kindness."
The common people all know the name Li Ting, and they also know that the Nan Chen Kingdom is peaceful today because of his protection.
Xu Ningyou pulled Xue Li's hand and made her stand beside her.
Li Xingran made a face at Xue Li. At this moment, Li Xingran had already been handed over to Xu Ningyou by Li Ting.
Sherry immediately felt a fondness for the incredibly beautiful little girl in Madam Li's arms.
It was as if they were born to know each other.
"You must be Miss Li? You're so beautiful!" Shirley's eyes crinkled into crescent moons when she smiled.
"Xueli, you are very beautiful too. Xingran likes you." When Li Xingran saw this loyal maid who protected and took care of her appear and come to her side again, she was overjoyed.
This time, she wouldn't let her be burned to death; instead, she would ensure her a comfortable life and remove her from slavery.
The matchmaker continued.
Li Xingran didn't speak, so Li Ting didn't nod either.
"Wu An, fifteen years old, from Jiangjin."
[Father, this man is a terrible person. He helped my elder brother when he got into trouble.]
Li Ting noted it down. Leng Bing watched all this from a distance. Li Ting made a kill gesture in Leng Bing's direction, and Leng Bing obeyed.
A few days later, Wu'an's body appeared in the mass grave and was carried away by wild dogs.
Wu An had secretly sneaked into the capital hoping to make a living, but little did he know that he had been drugged and sold to the most powerful matchmaker in the capital, becoming a slave.
He would seize any opportunity to climb up the ladder.
This time, Li Ting showed no mercy and killed him without hesitation.
When Wu An saw that he hadn't been selected, his eyes were filled with hatred. He thought that when he left, he would take something back with him, even if it was just a bonsai tree, he could sell it for a few dollars.
Unfortunately, he had no chance. Everyone stared at him intently, their eyes filled with rage, as if they wanted to kill him with their gazes.
Looking at the person who would harm him in the future, Li Ruizhang felt a surge of hatred welling up in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it.
His younger sister's first birthday celebration was over, and now that he'd returned to Tianji Mountain, he wasn't coming down. He wanted to see how those villains would try to frame him again!
"Da Gui, seven years old, is from Lizhou. He fled to the capital to seek refuge with relatives because of a famine in his hometown, but was turned away by his relatives and sold himself into servitude."
"Daddy, we can buy this one. This little guy is incredibly strong by nature, he just eats a lot, but we can afford to raise him, so we're not worried."
In the book, he was given to Zhao Yunchen by Zhao Yunwan and became Zhao Yunchen's right-hand man. In the end, Zhao Yunwan shot herself in the foot, and Da Gui helped Zhao Yunchen, preventing Zhao Yunwan from gaining any advantage.
Li Ting nodded to the matchmaker again.
Da Gui smiled foolishly and stepped out of the line.
He was thinking that he would never have to worry about not having enough to eat again. The Li family was said to be very wealthy.
Only seven people remained of the matchmaker's group.
Four of the men Li Ting thought were decent, so he stayed.
[The remaining few weren't mentioned in the book, and Ruan Ruan doesn't know if they're useful, but if they're well-mannered, they shouldn't turn out to be ungrateful; they all seem like good people.]
"Granny Feng, thank you for your hard work today. This is the money for these servants to buy their indentures. Do you have their indentures with you?" Li Ting counted out ten silver ingots, each worth fifty taels, and gave them to Granny Feng.
They gave me an extra ingot.
Feng the matchmaker knew that this was a tip.
He immediately burst into laughter.
He repeatedly expressed his gratitude, saying that if he came across any good maids or servants, he would send them to the Li family.
After seeing off Feng the matchmaker, Li Ting made arrangements for the nine maids and servants he had bought that day.
Shirley was naturally given to Li Xingran, and Gu Shenge was also placed next to Li Xingran.
Feng'er followed Xu Ningyou, Da Gui followed the Crown Prince, and Chen Sanduo followed Li Ting.
There were four more people, whom Liu Fu arranged in the kitchen and the outer courtyard.
When Zhao Yunwan learned that none of the people she had arranged had been selected by Li Ting, she felt very strange.
Why does Li Ting always avoid him?
