Allure Ugly Concubine

Chapter 145 Cheer Up
It was late at night, and the entire Yuewang Mansion fell asleep, except for the night lights in the courtyard that were still flickering.

Under the mutual reflection of moonlight and lights, the figures of two women can be vaguely seen.

One of the green figures was striding forward, her slightly trembling knees and the tense expression on her face proved that she had been insisting on this movement for a long time, and this person was none other than Xue Yuliu.

Pu Tao, who was standing by the side, looked up at the new moon in the sky, and then said to her: "Ma'am, it's already the second watch, and you've already been able to walk for two hours."

Hearing what she said, Xue Yuliu was about to take back his actions.But just when she was about to stand still, she suddenly felt numbness in her feet and almost couldn't stand up: "Pupao, come and help me."

Hearing this, Pu Tao hurried over and asked Xue Yuliu to support her shoulders to stand.

Xue Yuliu pressed Pu Tao's shoulder with his left hand, shook his right hand in front of her, and said, "During this period of time, I practiced lifting water every day according to the advice of that Jianghu master, and the strength of my hand has really increased a lot. Just squeeze it and see ?”

Hearing this, Pu Tao held Xue Yuliu's wrist, and her eyes turned red with distress: "Ma'am, you have been carrying water and heavy things with us slaves every day, your wrist is getting thicker. "

"It's better if it's thicker, it means that it's stronger." Xue Yuliu said with a smile.

"But your wrists have become thicker. How can you dance as beautifully as before?"

Hearing this, a trace of loneliness flashed in Xue Yuliu's eyes, and he sighed lightly and said, "The prince doesn't like it, so who else would you dance for?"

Pu Tao also sighed: "Madam, don't be too pessimistic, I believe that one day the prince will change his mind and know how to cherish Madam."

"Would it be?" Xue Yuliu's face showed disbelief, "Is the lord staying with her again tonight?"

Pu Tao took a cautious look at her before replying: "Yes, I heard that today is Wang Hao's birthday, and the prince specially asked someone to arrange a flower garden for her."

"My lord actually remembers other people's birthdays! He really treats her differently." Xue Yuliu had a wry smile on his lips.

"lady……"

Just as Pu Tao was about to speak, Xue Yuliu interrupted her: "Okay, I know what you want to say, so don't comfort me. Don't worry, I'm fine. The prince doesn't like women who are too weak, and don't like women who complain about themselves, so I must be optimistic and strong. Just like her..."

Speaking of this, Xue Yuliu nodded heavily as if she had made up her mind: "Pupao, how do you think I am compared with Lin Zijiang now?"

Hearing this, Pu Tao thought for a while and replied: "In terms of martial arts, madam has only learned it for less than a month, so naturally she is no match for the princess. But your tenacity and strength are unmatched by anyone else. "

Saying this, Pu Tao's eyes turned red again.Others may not know it, but these days she has seen how Xue Yuliu survived, and thinking about it makes people feel distressed.Since the last time the princess came to visit her, she actually pulled her back from death.I don't know what she said to Madam, but Madam cheered up and was willing to eat.After recovering her body as quickly as possible, Madam asked her to invite several martial arts practitioners from the rivers and lakes over.It is said that the prince doesn't like women who are weak and incompetent, so he wants to practice martial arts with them.In fact, Pu Tao knew in her heart that the efforts made by the wife these days were all trying to turn herself into another princess.

But Madam's frail body is not suitable for martial arts training. Those masters also persuaded her, but she refused to listen.It is said that hard work can make up for one's weakness, so she practiced squatting here every night until midnight.I also do some heavy work and want to strengthen my arms.Thinking of this, Pu Tao felt a little resentful.Madam works so hard and loves the prince so much, but why does the prince only see that ugly girl in his eyes?
But at the moment Xue Yuliu didn't think about that, she shook Pu Tao's shoulder excitedly and said, "Really? Can you see my strength?"

"En." Pu Tao nodded.

"Great, the prince should also be able to see my change. I'll go to her to try tomorrow."

Hearing this, Pu Tao immediately said worriedly: "No, ma'am! With your current martial arts, you can't beat the princess."

"It's because I know that I can't fight but I still have to fight, so I can show my fearlessness. Maybe the prince will be touched by my spirit after knowing it." Xue Yuliu clasped his hands together, his eyes showing anticipation.

"Can……"

"Okay, don't talk about it. I have to practice for a while, so don't disturb me."

Seeing that Xue Yuliu didn't listen to her advice, Pu Tao could only heave a long sigh, and stood there to accompany her.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Zijiang got out of the carriage with two heavy cloth bags in his hands.Seeing that the thing in her hand was so heavy, Xiao Lingzi quickly took it.

"Boss, what is this? So heavy?" Xiao Lingzi asked curiously.

"If you're curious, just open it and have a look." Lin Zijiang glanced at him.

After getting permission, Xiao Lingzi couldn't wait to open one of the cloth bags, and he almost screamed out when he saw what was inside.Immediately hugging it to his chest like a baby, he glanced left and right, and after making sure there was no one there, he leaned into Lin Zijiang's ear and said, "Boss, why are you so much money?"

"One of these bags is for you." Lin Zijiang said.

Hearing this, Xiao Lingzi's eyes were full of surprises, but then turned into doubts: "Why did you give this slave so much money?"

"Didn't you tell me last time that I have good things to think about you? These are the rewards I got recently, and I will give you some of them." Lin Zijiang replied.Yesterday, she divided her property into several shares equally, and planned to distribute it to those in need around her.This can be regarded as accumulating some virtue. I hope that in the next life, I can reincarnate into a good family, and stop being an orphan, and stop being someone's stand-in.

"But the slave can't ask for so much? The slave has never seen so much money in his life."

"So, now I know that you are not with the wrong person." Lin Zijiang blinked at him.

"The servant always knew that he was right with the wrong person, but I can't take this money." Xiao Lingzi rarely said in a tone of refusal.

Hearing this, Lin Zijiang was puzzled: "Are you stupid? Don't you think about money all the time, kid? Why don't you want it now?"

"Your servant is thinking about money, but I only think about small money. You give me so much money all at once, and I always feel very panicked." As he said this, Xiao Lingzi scratched his head, "Boss, this can't be Severance pay, you don't want Xiao Lingzi, do you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Zijiang avoided his gaze, "You can take the money if I give you the money. What are you thinking?"

After Lin Zijiang finished speaking, he turned around and gave Xiao Lingzi a slap: "Let's go."

"Where are you going now? This doesn't seem to be the way to the Imperial College."

"I have to send the other bag of money first."
