Chapter 509: To Be a Concubine for the Young Master? Sold!

Although Bao Xia is the youngest in age, her temperament is nevertheless the fiercest.

She is thirteen this year; Dong Er is fourteen, and Tang Chun and Xi Qiu are both fifteen.

They all know in their hearts that, as they grow older, when people buy them into the manor, they usually end up as concubines.

But she is unwilling.

Before, she would rather have been sold to a farming family to become a farmwife.

Thus Tang Chun first had this idea, which made her feel great disgust!

How can a person become so base?

Isn't it good to have an open opportunity to become a principal wife?

Even if she married a young servant steward, she could still be considered a person.

Being a concubine looks somewhat respectable, yet she isn't even half a master; isn't it just saying that being beaten, scolded, and sold off means she gets sold?

Moreover, Bao Xia has heard of the young lady's deeds, and she admires her greatly in her heart.

Perhaps, in this Nan Gong Fu, she might truly have a chance to break free, without having to become a concubine's fate?

Tang Chun cannot bear Bao Xia's such contempt toward herself.

They are all equally servants; who is more noble than whom by a bit?

She even dares to look down on herself!

Tang Chun: "I will rip your mouth apart!"

However, before she could lunge forward, Xi Qiu and Dong Er together firmly held her tight.

Xi Qiu: "Tang Chun, this was originally your fault. Your thoughts will harm us all, and you actually still want to start a fight?"

Dong Er: "Exactly, this Nan Gong Fu appears to be a good refuge, but if you keep causing trouble you'll drag us down. If we are sold again, I will not yield to you."

Tang Chun: "You, you all, what are you pretending to be lofty about? You gang up to bully me, and today I will not spare you either!"

Bao Xia: "Still not plug her mouth?"

"If we make a noise outside, none of us will survive!"

Tang Chun was pressed down hard on the bed, and the three of them lunged together to hold her down firmly.

Bao Xia dealt a heavy blow, pinching Tang Chun's waist back and forth: "Let you sway, let you court death, let you implicate us!"

Xi Qiu: "Be gentle."

Dong Er: "What gentleness? She needs to suffer a lesson; I even want to get a needle!"

The commotion here almost escalated.

Only with difficulty did it then become completely quiet again; the four of them dared not even breathe.

However, they did not know that Que'er, who was listening outside the window at this moment, revealed a already solemn expression.

The next day Tang Chun was then resold.

Before being sold, Tang Chun was still running about wildly in the garden.

From afar she saw Duan Rongshi's figure, and she rushed straight over and knelt before him.

"Young master, I am the maid Tang Chun who just arrived yesterday; please save me."

"I do not want to return to the slave market; that place is not fit for human habitation."

"If I am sent back again, I will surely be beaten to death!"

"Either being sold to a farmer, or to that lame cripple, I truly know I was wrong; I will no longer dare to speak nonsense or think wildly."

"They are the ones who have harmed me——"

As she spoke, Tang Chun slightly lifted her head, revealing her tear-streaked, pitifully lovely face.

Such a pitiful appearance, which man in the world would not feel pity upon seeing it?

She had also once been the head maid in the young master's quarters of a wealthy household.

If not for that family's misfortune, she being sold off, she would have already become the young master's concubine.

Now although she has fallen into a merchant's household, her arts of enticement she has known since childhood.

At this moment Tang Chun reckoned in her heart that the young master would not stand by and let someone die without saving.

Moreover, this is also her only chance; she must employ all the tricks of a courtesan, only then can she stay……

"What on earth is going on?"

Duan Rongshi furrowed his brows, immediately stepping back a large step.

His face full of anger, he had already looked toward the surroundings where the guards had not yet rushed over.

The guards trembled and had not yet charged forward when Zheng Mama came over and knelt first.

Zheng Mama, face full of panic, hurriedly replied: "Young master, please forgive me; it is this old slave's negligence that I bought such a lowly wretch back into the manor."

"Fortunately, yesterday I discovered this girl had thoughts she ought not have, so this old slave wanted to quickly sell her off first, to avoid future trouble in the household."

"Who would have thought she would dare to run to your presence, young master, to put on a pitiful act!"

"This is entirely this old slave's fault."

Duan Rongshi's voice icy: "Deduct half a month's monthly allowance! Hurry up and take her away to deal with her!"

"If such a thing happens again next time, just kill her."

"Wait, don't cause a disturbance before the young lady and worry her. If anyone violates, this……this young master will certainly impose heavy punishment!"

Toward Zheng Mama and Que'er, Duan Rongshi ultimately had a bit more patience and compassion.

Thus only a half-month's monthly allowance was given as a warning penalty.

If it were Zhui Yu and Leng Dian handling affairs so disadvantageously, they should have long been due for a beating.

Zheng Mama was already deeply grateful, and hurriedly summoned the servant women she had brought forward to first plug Tang Chun's mouth.

Tang Chun stared wide-eyed in astonishment, unable to believe it.

Aunt, Uncle, aren't you a very gentle person?

Why did he suddenly become so cold-hearted and ruthless?

Yesterday, him standing under the front porch, his demeanor toward the young lady was clearly tender and affectionate, his attentive care making even oneself long for it.

Did even my slight pitifulness truly fail to arouse any pity in his heart?

Her name also includes the 'Tang' character from Tangdi Residence!

Although her looks don't match his principal wife, she is absolutely a beauty; he truly isn't moved at all?

Tang Chun still wanted to scream, but was already gagged with a filthy rag.

She was dragged away while making muffled sounds, and no one gave her a sideways glance.

It seemed as if she were merely a fly that everyone despised.

Li Qingluo heard some movement outside, lazily propping her head up and asked: "Go see what's the commotion."

Que'er: "Miss, it's fine. It's just that the maid Tang Chun from yesterday was a bit dishonest, so Granny Zheng sent her away early this morning."

Li Qingluo slightly furrowed her brows.

Not very honest?

She also couldn't be bothered to ask.

Knowing that Granny Zheng and Que'er have their own plans in mind.

How about the other three?

Before there were Zi Jin and Cui Er, but now only you and Granny Zheng remain; the whole household has run you ragged.

If those three have no issues, then let them get up to speed quickly.

Que'er: "Miss, there's still need for observation. Let's watch slowly; we'll use them first."

Li Qingluo nodded slightly, rubbing her forehead.

Because she really didn't sleep well last night.

Originally, she had taken Duan Rongshi to the study, intending for him to personally help her write that forbidden phrase.

Who would have thought he insistently grabbed her hand from behind, and then they wrote each stroke together.

After finishing, that would have been fine.

He then caused a ruckus in the study again.

Finally, even the paper with the written characters couldn't be used!!!

Li Qingluo was very angry.

Not only did he mess up the desk, he also broke her valuable inkstone.

Worse still, her newly made dress was torn in several places, so fresh and lively!!!!

That was her favorite smoke-blue new dress!!

Li Qingluo yawned, then simply collapsed and went back to sleep.

When Duan Rongshi returned in the evening, he first obediently handed her a freshly written set of characters.

Then he also presented her with an inkstone.

Still angry?
