After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 61 Buy a Maid for You

There is only one Zhong's grain shop left in North City, and the rest have closed down.

Xie Shuning stood on the second floor of Ruyifang, looking at the once glorious Xiangxiangyuan opposite and felt extremely comfortable.

In her previous life, it was not until Mrs. Zhong passed away that she realized how profitable the grain shop was, especially the one across the street.

However, Zhong did not completely hand over the shop to her, but let Ji Yunzhang use it to support his brothers, spending money like water.

Now the Zhong family's shop has collapsed long ago, and Rong Peilan has no support from her natal family. She wants to see how long the Xinling Marquis family, which is now living off its wealth, can hold out.

In the previous life, Rong Peilan was still living a life of poverty following Kang Jintang, who had no official position.

In this life, Kang Jintang's pace is even faster, and now he is the youngest Kang Hanlin in front of His Majesty.

These are all her credit. If it weren't for her, Kang Jintang wouldn't have had such a smooth career path now.

Now she just needs to wait for Kang Jintang to take that high position, and she can rest easy.

Thinking of this, Xie Shuning raised her head slightly. Now, everyone respects her as Mrs. Hanlin Kang.

In the future, she will not only be the wife of the Prime Minister, but a higher status will also be waiting for her.

Just as she was about to turn around to look at the jewelry, a green-shed carriage stopped at the door of Xiangxiangyuan and a familiar figure got out of the carriage.

The middle-aged man who had been squatting at the door stood up.

The two of them signed and stamped their fingerprints on the document, then put it away.

Xie Shuning chuckled.

"It seems that she is not having a good time in the Marquis' Mansion. Mrs. Zhong is still alive and is in charge of the household expenses. She would rather sell the shop than take out the money."

She thought about it and said softly, "Yes, the money is still very useful. When Xinling Hou comes back, we will need a lot of money."

The matter of Xinling Hou could be big or small, depending on how Kang Jintang writes the document.

She just had to wait for Rong Peilan and Zhong to come to her with money.

Xie Shuning was in a good mood. He looked up and touched the pair of red gold butterfly-shaped hairpins on his head, then gave instructions to the maid behind him.

"Yuzhu, didn't the shopkeeper just say that there is a red gold enamel bracelet? Go and ask the shopkeeper to bring it over for us to have a look."

"Yes."

After Rong Peilan put away her things, she felt a burning gaze from behind.

When she turned around, she saw Xie Shuning looking at her with a smile on his face on the second floor of Ruyifang opposite.

Without getting close to her, Rong Peilan could see the smugness in her.

She curled the corners of her lips and nodded at her, then took Haitang's hand and was about to get in the car.

As soon as he took a step, a girl in mourning clothes and a white flower on her head rushed over.

He was still shouting, "Madam, please save me!"

Chen Chun, who was standing beside the carriage, moved quickly. Seeing that someone was about to hit her, she stopped the girl with one hand.

The girl was caught off guard and bumped into a slender but very strong arm. She staggered and almost fell flat on her face.

Two men in black shorts caught up with him.

The two men did not look like vicious people, and there was a word "gambling" embroidered on the collars of their clothes.

The girl immediately knelt down upon seeing this and said, "Madam, please save me. I am willing to sell myself as a servant."

Rong Peilan looked at the pretty girl in front of him, his eyes flickering slightly.

It's really interesting. In just one month, she has encountered this problem twice, and both men wanted to sell themselves to her.

Haitang stepped forward and said, "Miss, we don't lack servants in our house, you can go find another family."

The two men approached and tried to pull her back, "It is only natural that debts should be paid back. Your father's gambling debts should naturally be paid back by you as his daughter."

The girl was so frightened that she screamed, "Madam, please! I don't want to be sold to a brothel! I can do everything! I can do anything!" "Madam! Please have mercy!"

Seeing that the girl was about to be dragged away by the two men, Xie Shuning, who had been on the second floor, spoke up.

"When did Sister Lan become so hard-hearted? This girl is so pitiful that she has come to you to beg for mercy."

"In such a huge mansion, is there really a need for one more maid?!"

"Besides, it seems that this girl has no relatives, otherwise why would the debt collectors bother to embarrass a little girl like her?"

Xie Shuning's voice was very loud. What was originally an insignificant incident on this street now attracted the attention of many passers-by.

"Besides--" She curled the corners of her lips, but her eyes were staring at the figure downstairs like a knife.

"Sister Lan, shouldn't you be able to empathize with me? After all, it was my father's kindness that allowed you and your sister to find a place to live."

Rong Peilan glanced at Xie Shuning on the second floor and said in a cold voice, "Sister Ning is kind-hearted."

She pursed her lips and looked at the two men, "How much silver does this girl owe?"

The two men looked at each other and let go of the girl. "Not much, just one hundred taels."

She nodded gently, "Well, not much."

The girl was overjoyed and was about to thank him, but the young lady in front of her looked up and said to the second floor, "It's not expensive, one hundred taels, Sister Ning, give the money."

Xie Shuning could hardly hold back the smile on his face, "I give money? What money should I give?"

Rong Peilan was surprised. "The red gold hairpin on my sister's head would cost at least three hundred taels, which is enough to buy this girl three times!"

"My uncle is kind, so my sister must be as kind as him."

Seeing more and more passers-by looking at him, Xie Shuning's face twisted.

"Sister, you are really talking about something else. They clearly asked you for help, but you insisted on dragging me into this. I really don't know where your conscience is."

"If I encounter this, let alone one hundred, two hundred would be enough. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."

Rong Peilan raised the corners of her lips slightly and looked at Xie Shuning, "Look at what you said, sister. I can't just stand by and watch such a meritorious deed."

She lowered her eyes slightly, "Haitang, take one hundred taels."

The girl had stopped crying and joy was shining in her eyes.

Haitang bit the corner of her lip and took out one hundred taels from her purse.

Xie Shuning let out a breath of air. He didn't expect that Rong Peilan would be defeated with just a few words.

She stopped looking at the people downstairs and continued to look at jewelry in a cheerful mood.

Rong Peilan glanced at the IOU and handed it to Haitang.

The girl pretended to kneel down again, "Taoling thanks Madam for saving my life."

Rong Peilan looked up at the second floor and saw that the people who had come to watch the show and disrupt the situation were gone.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, "Don't thank me, thank me later when we get there."

-

A small car stopped in front of Kang's house.

The Kang family had no servants. After Chen Chun knocked on the door for a long time, a tall and strong maid opened the door.

Her sleeves were rolled up high and her hands were still wet, so she must be still washing clothes.

Chen Chun pointed at Tao Ling behind him and said, "This is the maid your wife bought back. She said she is here to serve the old lady."

Tao Ling was still looking around and was about to say that this didn't seem to be the Marquis' Mansion.

She was pulled in by a pair of strong hands.
