Quick Wear: I've never been a good person

Chapter 519: Welcoming Spring in the Red Mansion (End)

Shuangshuang saw the chaos over there every day through Xiaojuzi, and the servants were beaten and scolded every day, but she didn't feel the slightest bit of trouble.

After all, the original owner was abused by Sun Shaozu every day, and not only did none of these servants try to persuade her, they also pointed fingers at the original owner behind her back.

It wasn't until half a month later that they both returned home after the audition.

Xiaojuzi told her the news that Sun Shaozu was burned to death by his servants.

It turned out that Sun Shaozu did not just beat and scold people every time. On this day, he suddenly went crazy and wanted to buy two handsome twin servants into the Chu House.

The two servants were only twelve years old and were brought by Sun Shaozu from his hometown.

Of course, there were not only the two servants who came with them, but also the servant's family, including the Sun family's housekeeper.

The housekeeper only has two little grandsons. If they were really sold, his family would be extinct.

Therefore, evil thoughts arose in his heart, and he discussed with his son to pretend that he was careless with fire and burn Sun Shaozu to death.

In this way, their family can get all the property of the Sun family in the capital, and then find an opportunity to change their names and go to another place to become rich.

In this way, Sun Shaozu died, and of course the housekeeper and his family did not escape.

After the housekeeper gained power in the Sun family, he used the indentures to attack other servants in order to silence them.

However, there are several that were bought only when I came to Beijing.

They are all servants. Although they are usually under the care of the housekeeper, now that their master is gone, they naturally want to take the property they obtained during the chaos and regain their freedom.

However, the housekeeper did not think so. He believed that as long as he sold or killed those servants, all the property of the Sun family would be his.

Unfortunately, the servants in the capital took advantage of the opportunity and escaped to report to the authorities, and the entire family of the steward was executed immediately.

Before Shuangshuang could react after hearing what Xiaojuzi said, the original owner's soul came out.

Yingying bowed and said, "Thank you, Immortal. My wish has been fulfilled. Please send me away."

After everyone left, Shuangshuang asked Xiaojuzi, "Shall we go too? Judging from the dog emperor's character, he will definitely let this body into the palace in order to win over the four princes and eight dukes."

"You can leave if you want. Just treat it as a sudden illness."

"Okay, get ready!"

So Shuangshuang fell down while everyone was having dinner together, as if she had a sudden heart palpitation.

After returning to the space, Shuangshuang told Xiaojuzi, "Don't leave yet. I'm going to refine the merit points first. You keep an eye on the outside."

In the palace, the emperor and empress were discussing the results of this selection.

When the Queen was selecting the girls, she could tell that the Emperor wanted to keep the girls from the Rongguo Mansion.

So he took the initiative and said, "Your Majesty, although the Rongguo Mansion has a name, it is only a general's mansion after all. I will give his daughter the title of beauty. What do you think?"

The emperor didn't expect that the queen, who was usually virtuous, would also play such tricks.

If it was any other matter, he would have just played it, but now it involved whether he could win over the four kings and eight dukes from the retired emperor, so he naturally could not be stingy with this position.

“The beauty is only fourth rank, too low!

I'll grant you the title of Consort, and give you the name...Shu!"

"But as the head of the four concubines, isn't it a bit too much to honor Concubine Shu?"

"Don't forget, she is now known as the legitimate daughter of the Rongguo Mansion, and it's only with Lord Lin..."

As a result, before the imperial edict was issued, someone came to report that the second young lady of Rongguo Mansion had died of a sudden heart attack.

This made the emperor feel very angry, and the queen was very happy to see his virtuous proposal.

"There is still an older girl in the palace at Rongguo Mansion. If you want to show some favor, you can change the name on the imperial edict."

The emperor was in a bad mood, and his words were harsh.

"Who the hell is she? She's just the daughter of a fifth-rank official, and she only entered the palace because of a minor selection. She's a natural born slave!"

However, in the end, the emperor still conferred the title of virtuous concubine on Jia Yuanchun, which made Lady Jia and Lady Wang walk with a flourish.

Originally, Lady Jia seldom went out to socialize, but now she attends banquets everywhere just to hear a word of flattery from others.

In order to win people's hearts in the palace, Jia Yuanchun would always ask her family for money.

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to get Baoyu engaged to Baochai.

However, Baochai really looked down upon the son of a fifth-rank official.

The most important thing is that Mrs. Wang did not mention the betrothal gift at all, but only asked Aunt Xue how much dowry she would give. In the end, she gave the dowry to her in advance and asked Yuanchun to take care of it. When the time comes, Yuanchun will think of it for her good.

However, perhaps because both of their fortune books were put away, Baochai, who was already smart, did not become less intelligent this time.

Instead, he explained the whole matter to Aunt Xue in detail.

"Dowry is the foundation for a woman to gain a foothold in her husband's family, while betrothal gift is the face of a girl in her husband's family.

Do you think there is any family that would give the dowry without even seeing the betrothal gifts?

What if they refuse to admit it when there is no evidence?

Besides, even if I admit it, I’ll have no money left. How will my children and I live in the future? "

Aunt Xue has been married to a royal merchant for so many years, and she is not just interested in romance. After being reminded by Baochai, she feels more and more that Mrs. Wang is trying to cheat her of her money.

So I took this opportunity to propose it to Mrs. Wang.

"The house is ready now, and we can move back in. Thank you for your hospitality these days, sister."

Seeing that she couldn't get the money from the Xue family, Mrs. Wang had no choice but to ask the old lady for it.

After the old lady gave tens of thousands of taels of silver, she stopped giving any more.

Now it’s different from the past. Jia She no longer gives her money or good things.

As for Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, the old lady suddenly realized that since Mrs. Wang got married, she had never given her any silver, and she always asked for silver from her for expenses.

The old lady has always been a selfish person, so she didn't spend a penny of the remaining money and kept it for her retirement.

Mrs. Wang couldn't find the money, so she had no choice but to ask her maid to find someone she trusted to lend the money.

Because of his eagerness to make money and the excessive corruption of his confidants, the head of a family was soon forced to sell his children.

In the end, he even sold his wife, but still couldn't escape the compounding interest.

The man eventually hanged himself to death.

The 60-year-old mother saw that her son's family was ruined because of usury, so she ran to the Yingtian government office when no one was paying attention and beat the drum to complain.

Usury is explicitly prohibited by current regulations.

However, because it was the family of Concubine Xian De, the prefect had to report the matter to the emperor and ask him to make a decision.

When the emperor saw the usury, he was furious and arrested Jia Zheng and his wife.

In the end, Mrs. Wang sentenced Jia Zheng to immediate execution, and exiled him thousands of miles away for failing to discipline him properly.

When Lady Jia heard the news, she was so shocked that she almost couldn't catch her breath.

The servants called Jia She over to bury the old lady.

Shuangshuang listened to Xiaojuzi's story about what happened in the Jia Mansion before leaving for another small world.
