Chapter 171 Maid Zi Su
Chapter 171 Maid Zi Su
The Marquis's Mansion was in financial difficulty, so Lord Xie Yuejing planned a heroic rescue and saved Lin Yulan, the daughter of the richest family in Suzhou, the Lin family, who was besieged by a group of hooligans.
After being rescued, Lin Yulan offered to give a hundred taels of gold as a token of gratitude, but Xie Yuejing refused to accept it, and even said sanctimoniously that he was a gentleman and had no desire for the wealth of the Lin family.
Xie Yuejing's original intention was that, according to the normal routine, Lin Yulan would fall in love with the hero who fell from the sky, and then the two of them would be determined to spend their lives together. It would be a natural thing for him to marry Lin Yulan and take her dowry.
Six months passed, and Lin Yulan never crossed the line with him. He had no other choice but to go to the Lin family to propose marriage, but was once again rejected.
The Lin family is wealthy, but they are not stupid. Once you enter a marquisate, it's like entering a deep sea. Normally, they wouldn't be willing to marry their daughter into a marquisate.
As a result, the Xie family was furious and plotted to cause a mine disaster for the Lin family, and the entire Lin family was sentenced to death.
The maid Zi Su found Xie Yuejing and expressed her willingness to marry the young lady into the Marquis's mansion on the condition that Lin's father, Lin's mother, and the young master be exempted from the death penalty.
Xie Yuejing agreed and the death penalty was commuted to exile thousands of miles away.
Before entering the Marquis' Mansion, in order to eliminate Xie Yuejing's suspicion, Zi Su personally gave Lin Yulan a dementia drug.
Seeing Lin Yulan's IQ become that of a seven or eight-year-old child, Xie Yuejing felt much more relieved.
Zi Su used her status as the most trusted maidservant of the Marquis' wife to stir up various fights in the Marquis's mansion, and even killed Xie Yuejing with her own hands in the end.
It took Zi Su five years from entering the Marquis' Mansion to taking revenge. Her hands were stained with blood. When she was able to take full control of the Marquis' Mansion, she used her connections to bring the Lin family back.
Because of her revenge, she implicated many innocent people. Zi Su herself never thought that she would become such a female devil. This was completely different from the kindness that her mistress taught her.
Perhaps she knew that sooner or later, she, too, would become a bloodless executioner. But she was thankful for one thing: her daughter's intelligence remained at the level of a seven or eight-year-old. Her hands were clean. As time passed, she might remember many things, but ultimately, she would be able to live out her life in peace.
So, Zi Su chose to commit suicide.
In this way, after so many murders, the government finally found the murderer, but because of Zi Su's death, the case came to an end.
Ten years later, the young lady's mind slowly began to flood with distant memories, with the name of a person named Shisu constantly recurring. Eventually, she remembered everything. Thinking of Shisu's early death, she would stare blankly at the selection table. She eventually died of depression.
"My brother likes Zi Su. We originally planned to arrange a marriage with them when he returned from his trip. But we didn't expect the Marquis' Mansion to plot against us. And after Zi Su's death, my brother has been a lonely man and has never married.
Zi Su was nominally a maid. But she had been studying and learning to read with me since childhood. She was full of ideas and had a quick mind, helping my family's business resolve crises many times. We never treated her as a maid, waiting for her to marry my brother once her contract was up. But unexpectedly, everything was ruined by the Marquis's Mansion...
I want Zi Su to live and marry my brother."
"As you wish!" After saying that, Jiang disappeared.
……
On this day, Lin Yulan took Zi Su to the street and unexpectedly ran into some hooligans.
"Little lady, come and play with me"
Zisu stood in front of Shengjiang and said, "Who are you? In broad daylight, in front of everyone, you dare to molest a decent girl in the street?! Be careful or I'll report you to the police!"
"Hey, this little maid is quite fierce, but I like her," the man said, reaching out his hand to touch Zi Su's face. Zi Su was scared, but she did not back down at all.
"Good girl, move back," said Jiang.
"No! Miss, run!"
Sheng Jiang pushed her away and crushed the gangster's bones the moment he stretched out his hand. There was a miserable scream, and the crowd was suddenly surprised.
What kind of violent woman is this? She actually crushed a grown man's hand?
"Bitch! How dare you crush my big brother's hand? Come on, brothers! Everyone will have a share of this woman!"
Sheng Jiang sneered, "Humph! I'm afraid you'll die!"
He simply drew out a 40-meter-long sword and held it across the men.
At this moment, Xie Yuejing appeared, and he still hadn't figured out the situation.
"In broad daylight, in the open air, you dare to forcefully abduct a woman? Take this with my stick!"
The gangsters looked at him as if he were a lunatic. When they realized what was happening, they wanted to run away, but they couldn't escape. Xie Yuejing hit them with a stick, and a big bump appeared on their head.
"My Lord, how could you really hit someone? Didn't you say it was just a show?"
"My Lord, you told us to tease this young lady, but you didn't tell us she knew martial arts. Look at our eldest brother, he's completely useless! How can he do this job?"
“I quit, I quit.”
Xie Yuejing then looked at Sheng Jiang, who was looking at him with a half-smile.
"Miss Lin, you can't listen to their nonsense! How could I, a great marquis, know these filthy scoundrels?"
"That's hard to say. Why don't we report it to the police?"
The people around were also talking about it.
"Judging from the Marquis's reaction, I guess this is true."
"Everyone knows that Hou Fu is now prosperous on the surface, but he is actually empty inside, and he still owes 20 taels of silver to the national treasury. The emperor has already ordered that if he does not return the money to the national treasury, his property will be confiscated and he will be exiled.
"I guess he saw the Lin family was wealthy and powerful, and if he could marry a girl from the Lin family, the dowry would be more than 20 taels of silver. Not only could he fill the deficit, but he could also maintain the prosperity of the Marquisate. What a good plan."
"How do you know this, sir?"
"Because my relative is responsible for recovering the deficit in the national treasury." Duoduo said seriously.
"The Marquis is a playboy. Although the Marquis's mansion is not as good as it used to be, he already has more than a dozen wives and concubines in the backyard, all of them are as beautiful as flowers. They compete with each other every day, and the atmosphere is full of chaos. If the girl from the Lin family marries into his family, wouldn't she be walking into the tiger's mouth?"
"Alas, although the Lin family is wealthy and powerful, they are still scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, and are ultimately lowly merchants. If the Marquis' Mansion abuses its power to bully others, how can the Lin family resist?"
"You're right. The world is like this, what can we ordinary people do?"
Xie Yuejing's face turned pale as he listened to the discussion. Then, he softened again. "Ms. Lin, I'm definitely not what those scoundrels say. I, Xie Yuejing, am a man of integrity. I swear to heaven that I have absolutely no desire for Miss Lin!"
"You really don't have any thoughts about me?"
"Really. It's just..."
"Just what?"
"I just want to be an ordinary friend with Miss Lin."
"You are unmarried and I am unmarried, so being friends is not suitable. However, I can take you to a nice place."
"Where?"
"You'll know when you go there"
Suddenly, Sheng Jiang brought Xie Yuejing to a poor family's home.
"Why did you bring me here?"
"See that pretty girl?"
Xie Yuejing followed Sheng Jiang's finger and saw a woman with a slender figure, a rosy face, and smooth, delicate skin. He felt an urge to approach her, but because Sheng Jiang was nearby, he had to endure it.
"Tell me, what if it's your fair lady?"
"What do you mean?"
"I just want you to experience the fate of a beautiful woman. No need to thank me. Go ahead, Pikachu!"
After saying that, Xie Yuejing's soul had already entered Qiao Yun's body.
Qiao Yun was confused, "How did I become a marquis?"
"This is your fate. You are a man of great virtue, and you should have been born into a wealthy family. But you didn't expect this man to take advantage of you. Now he has harmed many women, and you must make amends for these actions."
"I understand. Thank you, Mr. Ginger."
But Xie Yuejing was in a miserable situation.
"Qiao Yun? Qiao Yun! Where have you been, little girl?"
Xie Yuejing didn't say anything. He hadn't yet adapted to the fact that he had become a beautiful woman.
"Okay, what are you hiding here for? Do you want to starve me to death? Go back and cook! I want to treat Mr. Zhang today."
Seeing that Xie Yuejing still didn't move, he kicked him. Xie Yuejing fell to the ground and began to cry, "I'm not Qiao Yun!"
"Rebellion! Rebellion! I don't even recognize myself!"
Zhang's father flew into a rage and took out a cane from the ground and started beating Xie Yuejing. Soon, Xie Yuejing was covered in bruises.
"Why don't you go and clean it up? I'll beat you to death."
Xie Yuejing dragged his body. He thought he couldn't cook, but the memory of being beaten made him cook the meal on the way as a conditioned reflex.
He wanted to cry, but he had no tears. When had he, a noble marquis, ever done anything like a lowly servant? When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
The more he thought about it, the more he hated her, and his eyes became redder and redder.
"Pa!" the man slapped him. "What's that look in your eyes? Mr. Zhang is here, why don't you go over and serve him some tea?"
Xie Yuejing endured it silently and went away with the tea.
Unexpectedly, when Mr. Zhang saw him, his eyes lit up instantly, "Who is this woman?"
"Sir, it's my daughter Qiao Yun," the man answered flatteringly.
"How old are you?"
"It's the prime of life."
Mr. Zhang clapped his hands and laughed, "Excellent! Excellent!"
"If you like, you can take my daughter home today..."
"well"
"only……"
"I won't bother with the matter of the money you owe me. From now on, it's all written off. Also, I'll give you another ten taels of silver. How about that?"
"Okay, okay! Thank you very much, sir."
The man was a gambler, and he was overjoyed after hearing what the official said. With the capital, he could definitely turn things around!
Xie Yuejing also understood that he had been sold out by this so-called father. He immediately shouted, "I don't agree!"
When the man heard this, his expression changed instantly. "It's not up to you! Since ancient times, marriages have been decided by parents and matchmakers. I've raised you for 16 years, and it's time for you to repay me!"
When you get to the mansion, serve him well. If you dare to cause trouble for others, I will skin you alive!"
"How can you buy and sell human beings?"
"What population? You are my daughter! That's the family I betrothed you to! Don't talk nonsense!"
Xie Yuejing suddenly remembered that he had fallen in love with another girl before, but the girl didn't want to, and her parents didn't want to either. He threatened her with his power.
"If you obey me, I will let you eat and drink the best food from now on. But if you disobey me, I will make sure your entire family can't stay in Su City! Although my mansion is in decline, it is not something you common people can afford to offend! Come, take him away!"
The girl was still resisting.
Xie Yuejing ordered, "Break the legs of those old bastards!"
The girl heard her parents screaming, and her knees gave out in fear. She fell to the ground and said, "Please, my Lord, stop hitting me. I'm willing to go with you!"
"Are you really willing?"
"willing"
"Didn't you lie to me?"
"Never lie!"
"Okay, in that case, please sign and fingerprint this."
At that time, he was still the crown prince, and it was his first time to snatch someone else's child. Although he said he was not afraid, he was still worried in his heart.
However, after returning home, when his father saw the woman he brought, he just glanced at her, said nothing, and left.
His mother was beaming with joy, as if the pig she had raised had finally learned to dig up cabbages. She was very happy and said, "My son has finally grown up and knows how to marry a woman. But this woman's status is too low to be his wife."
If you like, you can be a maidservant and let her serve you. It will be her blessing. As for the wife, mother will find a good marriage for you from a family of equal status."
After that, nothing happened to him for a long time.
Soon, he got tired of the girl and started looking for other prey. He used the same tricks to bring her back home.
But at the same time, his reputation was ruined, and those from good families were unwilling to marry their daughters into the Marquis's mansion.
Later, the Marquis' wives died one after another, and he inherited the Marquis's mansion, but the main wife was still missing. He thought of the Lin family.
That lowly businessman was easy to manipulate and could make up for his losses, so he wanted to plot a heroic act to save the beauty.
As a result, he failed to save the United States and ended up being sold out.
No matter how Xie Yuejing struggled, she was taken to the mansion by Xiang Yuanwai.
Sheng Jiang felt that he was too lonely, so he brought his parents back from the underworld and sold them to Mr. Zhang's house.
Well, a family of three, all serving Mr. Zhang at the same time. I wonder what kind of fun it will be.
The three members of the Xie family are all stunning beauties.
Xie's mother was fine, accepting it well. She was a woman after all, so serving any man was like serving him. The only thing she couldn't accept was that she had become a concubine.
Xie's father and Xie Yuejing, both men, resisted fiercely.
But Mr. Zhang was a man who loved challenges. The more they ignored him, the more interesting he found it. Instead, he doted on these two people even more.
Xie's mother:?? I'm a woman, and I can't compare to a man?
How many concubines did Mr. Zhang have? About thirty or forty. Each one a bud waiting to bloom, each one a flower, before it could blossom, and he would tire of them before he could, giving them away to friends or business partners.
Xie Yuejing, his son and his two sons were sent to other people.
After several repetitions, all three were handed over to the perverted old man and tortured to death.
When he opened his eyes again, Xie Yuejing saw the familiar scene again.
"Big girl, there's really nothing we can do. Even if your mother begs you, just go with Landlord Wang. He will definitely treat you well..."
Xie Yuejing wanted to say, "With that face full of flesh, are you sure he'll be nice to me?"
Before he could say anything, he was taken away.
A few days later, Xie's father and mother followed and went to the landlord Wang's house.
Xie Yuejing shouted in despair: Oh my God! When will this end?
In this life, without any uncertainty, Zi Su married Brother Lin as expected, and Lin Yulan also found her ideal husband.
Later, Zi Su's son won the first place in the imperial examination and married Lin Yulan's daughter, thus strengthening the relationship between the two families.
