I'm already a concubine, who wants to fight with you?

Chapter 66 Easier said than done
After thinking for a while, Xie Fei said, "Li Die'er used to be a servant in the Marquis' Mansion, and now she is a concubine in the Pei Mansion. Even if she is injured or disabled, she cannot complain at all. If you want to make trouble for this, you will not be in the right even if you go to the government office."

Old Man Jiang said anxiously, "What are you talking about, madam? She is my granddaughter, how could I use her name to make trouble in the mansion? I only ask that I can redeem this granddaughter and bring her back home to live with me!"

Jiang Si also took out the silver from the package, holding it up and said, "Madam, please look, we have brought the silver! Back then, my grandfather sold Xiu'er to the Marquis's Mansion for six hundred coins, and now we are spending forty taels to redeem her. No matter what, we just want to take Xiu'er back!"

Xie Fei did not agree immediately, but said that Li Die'er was now Pei Yuan's concubine, and they could not take her away just like that.

The grandfather and grandson begged for a long time, and Xie Fei asked someone to kick them out first.

Later, Su Lu came to report that the two were still lingering near Pei Mansion and had not left.

Xie Fei walked to the window, fanning himself lightly, and looked towards the direction of the mansion gate.

"Do you think they are sincere or have other intentions?"

Su Lu said: "I think they speak with deep feelings, not false."

Xie Fei said: "It's hard to say. Li Die'er is now at the age of marriage. What if these two people want to take the girl back and sell her at a low price?"

Human nature is such that we have to think more about it.

Su Lu said: "My dear, I am very worried. What do you want?"

"Let's give it a try. If they really treat Li Die'er well, there's no harm in taking her back." But this matter is not that simple. How can you take her back after selling her to the Marquis' Mansion?

Xie Fei thought for a while and asked again, "Is Li Die'er's indenture contract in Miao's hands?"

Su Lu said: "Miao Xiaoniang is not eligible to get the indenture. The indentures of all the servants in her room are in the hands of the mistress."

Even though Xie Fei is the head of the household now, she is only a concubine and cannot control the servants' indentures.

Not to mention going to Xiao Shirong and taking back Li Die'er's indenture contract.

In this matter, either Xiao Shirong or Pei Yuan will step forward.

No matter which one, I'm afraid they won't let Li Die'er get away easily.

The grandfather and grandson of the Jiang family stayed outside the mansion for two days. They waited outside every morning and asked the servants to inform the master and queen to let them see Li Die'er.

But the servants ignored them completely. Later, when they saw them, they raised sticks and drove them away, not allowing them to stay nearby.

Even so, they still refused to leave, hoping every day to see Xie Fei again and get a chance.

In the bamboo house, Su Lu asked Li Die'er, and Li Die'er was very excited.

"My grandfather and brother are here? They are really here?" Lidie'er cried with joy and her eyes turned red instantly.

Su Lu asked, "Do you want to go back with them?"

Li Die'er said foolishly, "I want to, I want to even dream about it! But Sister Su Lu, I am a servant. I used to be a servant of the Marquis' Mansion, and now I am a servant of the Pei family. As long as the indenture is in the hands of the Madam, even if I die, I will be a ghost of the Pei family."

She may never be able to get rid of this identity in her life. She will no longer be Jiang Xiu, and she can never go back to the desolate yet vast mountains of her childhood.

Su Lu felt distressed when he saw her wandering and helpless. After a long while, he said, "Anyway, let you two meet first. Don't let Miao know about this for now, to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Li Die'er asked carefully, "Then, does Miss Xie know? Are we meeting secretly?"

Su Lu said: "My wife will arrange it. Stop crying and clean up so that your family won't feel sad when they see you."

Lidie nodded vigorously.

Later in the evening, Su Lu asked the grandfather and grandson of the Jiang family to disguise themselves as woodcutters and enter the mansion, where Li Die'er was eagerly waiting.

When the three generations of grandfather and grandson met, their eyes were immediately filled with tears and they hugged each other and cried inconsolably.

In the evening, Su Lu came to Xie Fei's room. Xie Fei was leaning on the beauty couch by the window, fanning himself in the cold weather, which made Su Lu feel cold.

She stepped forward and whispered back, "Young lady, the Jiang family is willing to pay one hundred taels to redeem Li Die'er."

Xie Fei raised his eyebrows and said, "You really agreed?"

"Yes, Jiang Si said that they have no other relatives, so it is difficult to borrow money. However, they have earned two acres of thin land with the help of Li Die'er over the years, and then sold the old cow at home. For the remaining part, they will sign a death contract with the boss and collect the money and send it to him."

Even Su Lu was shaken by the Jiang family's determination.

They knew that Li Die'er had a facial injury and a disability on her leg, but they were still willing to spend a large sum of money to redeem her.

In this way, Xie Fei doesn't have to worry that they have other intentions.

After all, even if Li Die'er was sold again and again, she wouldn't be able to get enough for a hundred taels.

Thinking about the affection between the three members of the Jiang family, Xie Fei laughed at himself, "Li Die'er is more fortunate than me. There are people in this world who are willing to risk everything for her."

Her mother passed away early, her father regarded her as a disgrace, and her brothers and sisters were not close to her. It can be said that she had a weak relationship with her relatives.

Su Lu was silent for a moment, and then said, "The problem now is that you, my dear, want to release him, but you can't make the decision."

This is the most depressing question. Xie Fei pondered and thought: "So it's not about the silver. The Pei Mansion doesn't need this hundred taels at all."

The real masters of the mansion are actually the old lady and Pei Yuan. Xiao Shirong is considered half a master and only controls the backyard.

As for Li Die'er's matter, unless these three people give the order, Xie Fei will be unable to do anything no matter how hard he tries.

She thought about it all night, and the more she thought about it, the more headache she had.

The next morning, the concubines came again to sit and drink tea and chat.

Xie Fei felt that his place was almost becoming an intelligence center for the village aunties to gossip and chat.

If she set up a charging point at the entrance of the yard, she could make a lot of money from ticket sales every day.

Rubbing his forehead, Xie Fei said, "Sisters, why are you so idle? If you really have nothing to do, can't you go pick up manure and plant some vegetables?"

The people below were eating melon seeds, drinking tea and chattering, so no one could hear what she was mumbling.

Fang Qinrou heard it. The little girl ate the fruit and blinked her eyes and said, "Sister Xie, what are you talking about?"

Xie Fei shook his head, then looked at Miao sitting on his right side, and immediately perked up.

"Is Sister Miao feeling better?"

Miao's face was pale, not as good as usual, and her voice was weak. She said, "Thank you for your concern. I haven't been feeling well these past few days, but I asked the doctor to come and see me. It's nothing serious."

Xie Fei gave a few more concerned instructions, then picked up the teacup and slowly drank the tea.

She had seen Miao's three meals a day, which were all big meals of fish and meat, with a lot of oil and fatty foods.

Originally, she asked someone to prepare a special meal for Miao, making some lighter meals that were suitable for Miao's physical condition. Although they didn't seem to have much nutrition, they were actually very good for the body.

Who would have known that Miao would rather eat the abalone, shark's fin, and bird's nest that Xiao Shirong had sent her than touch those dishes.

It should be noted that for people who are weak after childbirth, the more expensive the food, the better. After all, a weak body cannot be nourished. Taking too much tonic will cause loss of appetite, nausea, and so on.

Since Miao didn't appreciate it, Xie Fei didn't need to waste time correcting her diet.
