Chapter 103 Concubines Do Not Compete for Favor, Become Good Sisters
What Sun Sisi said was the truth.
It's rare for Yun Qiao to meet someone with such a clear mind.
"Sister Sun is right."
"Sister Sun, I'll take you to see someone first. After that, I'll tell you everything else. Sister Sun, are you willing to believe me now?"
Sun Sisi nodded with gratitude in her eyes.
"I used to think that if I followed Aunt Cheng, even if I wasn't favored, I could live a peaceful life. But who would have thought that she would support Aunt Cheng and abandon me, and take Zhang Yuqing with her instead."
Yun Qiao answered her doubts softly.
"Because Zhang Yuqing gave her money."
Cheng Danmei had previously been pretentious, and Chen Jingyan, who happened to like her, had even offered her precious treasures. But Cheng Danmei's pretentiousness was too high, and Chen Jingyan, a distinguished marquis and a fierce general on the battlefield, was unlikely to remain in his mansion and serve her.
Later, when there was a war in the military camp, he rarely came back. As time went by, his love for Cheng Danmei diminished, and he loved her even less than before.
Moreover, after meeting Yun Qiao, his mind was completely focused on Yun Qiao, and he had no time to care about Cheng Danmei.
Cheng Danmei no longer had love, nor did she have rewards. She always wanted to eat and drink well, and she had no money to earn money. She relied entirely on Chen Jingyan's charity, and the things he gave her were not enough to cover her food and drink expenses.
If you want to be favored nowadays, you must dress yourself up, wear nice clothes, and if you want good things, you have to spend money.
She had no money, so she had to find a way out.
He got a sum of money from Zhang Yuqing, and in return, he brought Zhang Yuqing to his side and gave her the opportunity to appear in front of the Marquis.
What’s funny is that Cheng Danmei herself is not favored, so how can she help Zhang Yuqing?
As for what the two of them did, Yun Qiao didn't care as long as it didn't involve her or affect her interests. She was too lazy to get involved in women fighting over men.
But it was different for Sun Sisi, she wanted to win over Sun Sisi.
The carriage soon arrived in front of a store.
Yun Qiao got off the carriage first and walked straight inside, while Sun Sisi followed behind. She was still wondering if Yun Qiao wanted to buy rouge and powder, so she followed her in.
When Sun Sisi saw who was standing in front of her with the woman's hair in a bun, her eyes widened.
"Sister Fang Jia? Why are you here? Why are you here?"
Sun Sisi walked forward in disbelief. Fang Jia was introducing rouge, powder and lipstick to a young girl who came to buy them.
"This one is bright red. Your wife will definitely like it. You're definitely going the right way by buying this one."
Fang Jia finished speaking quickly and walked out from behind the counter.
"Sister Qiao, Sister Sun..."
"Sister Qiao, business in the store is surprisingly good today. The Qixi Festival gift boxes you designed are selling very well. More than half of the 200 gift boxes have already been sold."
After Fang Jia finished talking to Yun Qiao, she looked at Sun Sisi and said, "Sister Sun, come today. I will send you a box later. Remember to put it all on me."
Sun Sisi looked at Fang Jia who was living such a happy life and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Seeing Fang Jia and Yun Qiao talking so familiarly, I thought that Yun Qiao must have known when Fang Jia left the Marquis' Mansion.
"We'll go wait for you inside, you go ahead and do your work."
Yun Qiao turned to look at Sun Sisi and said, "Let's go inside and talk. Let Sister Fang Jia finish dealing with the people in the shop first."
Fang Jia called a maid and took them to the private room inside.
There are two small elegant rooms in this shop, which can be used to do makeup for ladies or girls who come to buy rouge and powder.
Yun Qiao and Sun Sisi went in first, sat down to have tea and chat.
Sun Sisi asked her, "Sister Qiao, please don't keep me in suspense. Tell me what you want to do."
"Are you asking anxiously?" Yun Qiao said with a smile, "Well, I know Sister Sun is smart and good at accounting, so I want her to help me manage the account books."
"But what about the account book on the farm in the suburbs?"
The Marquis loved Aunt Qiao so much that he gave her the huge farm in the suburbs without blinking an eye.
Everyone in the Marquis's Mansion knew about this.
"Sister Sun, are you willing?"
"As long as Sister Qiao trusts me with the task, I will do my duty diligently and do it well."
Yun Qiao thought Sun Sisi would refuse, so she discussed it with her again. Unexpectedly, Sun Sisi agreed directly.
"Then when we return to the Marquis' Mansion, Sister Sun will often visit my Lan Garden. We have already agreed on this, and you are not allowed to go back on your word."
Looking at Yunqiao like this, she has a bit more of the cuteness and innocence of a little girl.
Sun Sisi looked at her lovingly, like an older sister.
Sun Sisi is a few years older than her, and Yun Qiao really treats her like a younger sister.
After Fang Jia finished her previous tasks, she saw that there were fewer guests in the house, so she asked the shop boy to keep an eye on them while she went into the private room.
"Business is good today, but I'm so busy."
"Hurry up and sit down and rest for a while." Yun Qiao said with a smile, "I haven't seen Shitou yet. I missed him so much. Xiaotao told me that Shitou is getting stronger now."
"That was all thanks to Sister Qiao who helped us a lot and got us some milk. Shitou loves drinking milk, and he's grown strong now, all thanks to the milk."
"I asked Shitou to stay at home with Wang Pozi. Song Ziyu went to the academy to study. I asked him to go there. He plans to take the imperial examination next year."
Fang Jia is a quick-witted person and can express herself clearly and directly in just a few words.
Sun Sisi also learned that Fang Jia had married outside, and not only was she married, she also had a child, a child named Shitou.
"Sister Sun, why are you living worse than before? In this case, you can come out with me and live alone. My husband knows some good scholars, and I can introduce you to one."
Sun Sisi covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed, "My dear sister, you have forgotten my identity. I am still the Marquis's concubine. How can I marry someone outside? My sister is so blessed and lucky."
"As long as Sister wants to, even if she asks Sister Qiao for help, Sister Qiao will definitely find a way."
Fang Jia looked at Yun Qiao and said, "Sister Qiao, although we were once the Marquis's concubines, he never touched us. We are innocent. Since he doesn't like us, why can't he let us leave the mansion and live the life we want?"
"Others admire the Marquis and want to marry him and become a widow, but I don't want that."
Sun Sisi reached out and patted her: "Sister Fang Jia is still so outspoken. She dares to say anything."
Yun Qiao also gave her a few words.
"Sister Fang Jia, you are now married and have children. From now on, please do not talk about the Marquis's concubines in front of your husband. No matter how magnanimous a man is, he will not tolerate such talk."
"You should live your life well with Master Song, and don't say those unscrupulous words again."
Fang Jia was scolded by her two sisters and immediately nodded in admission of fault.
"Okay, I'll listen to you and I won't talk nonsense again."
