C13 It's That Evildoer Again!
Ling Shao left the mansion and came to the Fragrant Spring Restaurant.
"Aiyo, Ling Shao is back. He was taken to his house by a noble. I heard that you were frightened a few days ago and didn't even receive a guest these few days. How much money did they pay to invite you?"
A sinister voice sounded from behind Ling Shao.
"If you have the time to care about me, why don't you spend some time to please your guests? Otherwise, with your appearance …" "Hehe." Ling Shao smiled in disdain.
"What did you say?" Don't think that you're amazing just because you're the number one card. Let me tell you, during these few days when you're resting, I've picked up more customers than you have. It's hard to say if I can still keep this card with you. "
The man covered his mouth and snickered.
"Oh? I'll be waiting to see. " Ling Shao said in an indifferent tone.
"Hmph." The man twisted his waist and walked in front of Ling Shao. A pungent smell of perfume permeated the air around Ling Shao. Ling Shao frowned in disgust and walked towards his room with large strides. He closed the door with a "pa" sound.
Ling Shao leaned back on the chair and touched his right cheek. After a long time, Ling Shao burst out laughing, "It's been a long time since someone dared to hit me."
That woman …
What audacity.
Next day
When Yan Wushuang woke up, she went to find Maidservant who was in the yard. Maidservant stood awkwardly in front of Yan Wushuang.
She smiled and said, "There's no need for Xia Maidservant to be so restrained. I heard that Xia Maidservant served my mother before and was also my wet nurse for a while?"
"There is indeed such a thing." Xia Maidservant thought for a moment before replying with a serious expression.
"Then why didn't Maidservant bring me along after that? "You think it's troublesome to bring me along?"
Seeing that Yan Wushuang's eyes were wide open in curiosity, Xia Maidservant relaxed a little and said, "How could it be that Miss is not easy to bring? It's just that I'm too old, I'm afraid I can't serve Miss well."
"So it's like that …" Yan Wushuang dragged out her words.
Xia Maidservant dodged a little and did not dare to meet Yan Wushuang's eyes.
Yan Wushuang took a sip of her tea and said, "Madam Du arranged a marriage for me. Does Xia Maidservant know about this?"
"Got it." Xia Maidservant lowered her head and said, "The few elders in the mansion all know about this."
"Come to think of it, I was too young to remember." Yan Wushuang put down the teacup in her hand and said indifferently. Xia Maidservant hesitated for a long time before she finally revealed the truth.
It turned out that when Yan Wushuang was very young, in order to humiliate Yan Wushuang, Madam Du had intentionally arranged the marriage between her and a young servant of the Spring Fragrance Restaurant, and had even given Ling Shao a large sum of silver.
Back then, when Yan Wushuang's mother was Yan Liuxu's legal wife, Madam Du had already gnashed her teeth in hatred. However, she had never been able to get the position of legal wife.
After Yan Liuxu died in childbirth, Madam Du spilled all her resentment on Yan Wushuang. Madam Du didn't want Yan Wushuang to enter a rich family based on her outstanding appearance.
Secondly, as long as Yan Wushuang and the young servant had a relationship, they would become eternal black spots. Not only would they become the laughingstock of the city, but they would also never be able to turn the situation around.
"Did you know too much that Madam Du chased you away?" Do you know anything else? " colour
Wushuang stared at Xia Liu-Li as her body trembled. She shook her head violently and said, "Miss, I really don't know anything anymore. I'm too old for this."
Yan Wushuang pursed her lips and smiled. "Look at how scared you are. I was just casually asking you. Is Maidservant tired? You should go back and rest earlier."
Xia Liu-Li left gratefully. As soon as Xia Liu-Li left, Yan Wushuang instructed Yu'er to keep an eye on Xia Liu-Li.
After giving her orders, Yan Wushuang stretched herself lazily. It was impossible for the Prime Minister to not know that Madam Du had betrothed her to a servant in the brothel. Of course, the Prime Minister only turned a blind eye to all of this.
Madam Du wanted to pinch her like she was a clay doll? None at all!
"Go and meet my old man who fell into the money trap." Yan Wushuang said meaningfully, before walking into the Prime Minister's courtyard. In view of the Prime Minister's' affection 'for her these days, the servants rushed to inform Prime Minister on her behalf.
The Prime Minister was listening to Concubine Du's wails, but when he heard the servant say that Yan Wushuang had arrived, he waved his hand, gesturing for Yan Wushuang to enter.
After entering, Yan Wushuang swept a glance at Concubine Du, who was standing at the side, and said indifferently, "Greetings to father."
Concubine Du's heart was angry with Yan Wushuang. She could not help but say angrily, "Hmph, it's too late to know what kind of intentions you have."
Yan Wushuang didn't even look at Concubine Du as she said coldly, "Do you have the right to talk here? Could it be that Aunt has been too upset these few days and has forgotten about the rules?"
Concubine Du was so angry that her teeth itched. Yan Wushuang always used this rule to stop her. Aunt Liu always said that it was master's servant!
"Father, your daughter has something that she doesn't understand. I would like to consult father." Yan Wushuang looked at the prime minister coldly. Although the prime minister didn't like Yan Wushuang, Yan Wushuang knew where the treasure was, so she pretended to be curious and asked, "Oh? "What is it?"
"Your daughter only found out today that I'm engaged to a boy from the brothel. This is too absurd!"
Yan Wushuang clenched her fists tightly and said angrily, "I, as the dignified direct daughter of the Prime Minister, am betrothed to a brothel boy. How am I supposed to treat my father? You want others to think that the daughter of our Prime Minister's family can be married off so casually? "
The Prime Minister recalled that there was indeed such a matter.
He glanced at Yan Wushuang. Yan Wushuang was already old enough to get married. Yu's case had stirred up a storm in the city. Would he lose his face if another young servant came to ask for Yan Wushuang's hand in marriage?
Concubine Du panicked when she heard this. Her Yu was already ruined now and couldn't be married off to any good family. However, it was impossible for her to watch Yan Wushuang marry into a noble family with her own eyes!
"Master, this matter was settled very early on. At that time, chenqie asked Wushuang for her opinion. She said that she was willing to go back on her word. Is it because people are ridiculing our Prime Minister Manor for not keeping their word?"
Concubine Du said in a hurry. As she spoke, she did not forget to glare at Yan Wushuang.
Yan Wushuang clapped her hands and said in amusement, "Aunt? Do you really think of yourself as the mistress of this residence? Do you think you have the right to decide my marriage? Ignoring everything else, how young was I back then? I don't know anything, how can a grown man like you not understand? You know that person is a servant of the brothel, and you still ask me if I want to marry him? What peace of mind do you have?! "
Concubine Du hadn't thought that Yan Wushuang would be able to speak so clearly about this matter. Immediately, she was rendered speechless and could only look at the prime minister for help. After all, he had agreed to this matter in the first place.
"Father, you must miss me. If your daughters were to marry into an aristocrat's family, it would be of great help to your career. Otherwise, it would harm your reputation. You don't need your daughter to explain this, right?"
Yan Wushuang looked at the Prime Minister with a sincere face. The Prime Minister felt that what Yan Wushuang said was reasonable, so he nodded and said, "Wushuang is right."
When Concubine Du saw that the prime minister had been persuaded, she cried out in grief, "My lord …"
"Alright, it's not over yet. How does it look like that the daughter of the Prime Minister married the little servant? You're the one who should be doing this, right? "Then settle the matter. Don't cry in front of me if you have nothing better to do. Take good care of your daughter!"
The Prime Minister's expression was impatient as he flew into a rage. Concubine Du had no choice but to hold back her dissatisfaction. "Yes."
"All of you, go down." The Prime Minister ordered for the guests to leave.
Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Yan Wushuang left without looking back.
If Madam Du wanted to fight with her, she was still too inexperienced!
He wanted to use marriage to bind her. Sorry, she didn't have the obligation to cooperate.
Concubine Du didn't want to annul the marriage between Yan Wushuang and Ling Shao at all, but since the prime minister had already spoken, what else could she do? She could only unwillingly make a trip to the Spring Fragrance Pavilion to find Ling Shao and give him a large sum of money before annulling the marriage.
Fortunately, Ling Shao didn't pester her, which made Concubine Du feel a lot more relieved. It was just that her silver was wasted and she gave Ling Shao so much. Concubine Du couldn't help but feel sorry for him when she thought about it.
Seeing that Concubine Du had resolved the marriage, Yan Wushuang thought that she would never see Ling Shao again. Who knew that that night, Yan Wushuang pushed open the door and walked into the inner room.
"Come out!" Yan Wushuang shouted warily.
"Of course it's me. My wife is so heartless. I can't believe she doesn't want a husband anymore."
The charming voice of a man sounded from within the room, as if he had been wronged.
Indeed, it was that evildoer again!
