The Heavens Begin with Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 73 Who is not a slave of three surnames?
A few days later, an auspicious day was chosen and Aunt Xue formally adopted Tanchun as her adopted daughter. Zhan Nianshisi and others all went to watch the ceremony.

"My daughter Tanchun, please have some tea, godmother."

Tanchun knelt on her knees, held up a cup of tea in both hands and presented it to Aunt Xue.

Aunt Xue took the tea with a smile, took a sip, took out a golden hairpin from her bosom, and put it in Tanchun's hair as a gift.

"Good boy, I will give you this golden hairpin. From now on, you will be the second precious hairpin in my family."

Tanchun kowtowed happily to express her gratitude, then stood behind Aunt Xue and beside Baochai.

Everyone bowed their hands in congratulations, and the etiquette was completed.

From then on, Tanchun became Aunt Xue's goddaughter.

Of course, such a happy event requires a banquet to celebrate.

Everyone went to the front hall to drink and have a good time. Although Mr. Zhan was not the protagonist today, he was better than the protagonist.

No one is a fool, and of course everyone can see what Tanchun's purpose is in accepting this marriage. At the same time, everyone is also convinced that Bao-girl is really going to die.

Originally, Yingchun was the most popular choice for Mr. Zhan's legal wife, but after what happened today, Tanchun came from behind.

There was nothing much to say at the banquet. A lot of masters were present, so even if Master Zhan wanted to steal something, it would be an opportunity.

After finally finishing the drinking party, Mr. Zhan staggered back. Halfway through his walk, he heard someone calling him.

"Master Zhan, please stay!"

When he turned around, he saw a beautiful woman walking towards him with a smile on her face. It was none other than Aunt Zhao.

Mr. Zhan stood still and looked at Aunt Zhao. He saw that she had a graceful figure and charming appearance. She was wearing a tight and gorgeous dress. The fabric was thin and close-fitting, revealing her curvy figure. Combined with her mature woman's charm, she became even more seductive.

Looking at her appearance, her eyebrows were long and thin, and she had a pair of fox eyes with slightly upturned corners, which was extremely charming. She was born with a smiling mouth, which smiled before she spoke. The light rouge made her cherry mouth look even more rosy, delicate and tempting, making people want to take a bite. Her skin was white as snow, pink and tender, not at all like what she should have at her age.

No wonder Master Zheng dotes on her so much. Even though she has acted like a demon time and again, he has never punished her severely. She is indeed a vixen who specializes in sucking men's marrow.

"I wonder why Aunt Zhao called me?" Mr. Zhan asked with a righteous look.

Aunt Zhao has low IQ and EQ, but she has spent her whole life studying how to coax men and has put all her skills into this. She is quite familiar with men. Although Mr. Zhan's eyes only glanced at her slightly, Aunt Zhao was very sensitive and realized that Mr. Zhan was as lustful as the rumors said.

However, Master Zhan was not the only one who looked at her in this way. She did not take it seriously, but just bowed and said with a smile:
"Now our two families are close friends. I'd like to ask Master Zhan to help take care of my daughter Huan'er in the future. She will also run errands for you and see the world."

"Come on, Brother Huan, haven't you met your brother Zhan yet?"

As she spoke, she pulled a boy out from behind her and pushed him in front of Master Zhan. Wasn't it that naughty kid Jia Huan?
Jia Huan bowed to the ground with a smile, and without any hesitation, he shouted:

"Hello, brother-in-law!"

Before Master Zhan could react, Aunt Zhao slapped her son on the back of his neck and said in a half-seriously half-fake way:

"What are you yelling about? You haven't even started yet!"

Then he smiled flatteringly at Mr. Zhan:
"Master Zhan, please don't blame me. Huan'er is still young and doesn't know how to speak properly. I will punish him severely when I get back!"

Master Zhan was very happy, but he said seriously:

"Brother Huan, don't talk nonsense in the future. As a man, I don't mind, but your sister is a pure, virtuous woman. If you talk nonsense like this, won't you ruin her reputation?"

"Oh, yes, yes, it's all my fault. Please forgive me, Brother Zhan." Jia Huan nodded repeatedly in response.

Master Zhan then smiled and said to Aunt Zhao:
"Huan'er is old enough to study now, why doesn't he go to a private school? Why does he need me to take care of him?"

Aunt Zhao held her son's ears lovingly and said unhappily:

"If he is willing to study hard, then why should I worry?"

"He runs around all day now, and falls asleep as soon as he picks up a book."

"Anyway, Baoyu will definitely be the first scholar in the family. I don't expect him to pass the imperial examination. Now that he can read, he might as well find a job to make a living early so that he won't starve to death in the future."

Mr. Zhan looked at Aunt Zhao carefully and suddenly realized that this person didn't seem to be as stupid as described in the books. At least when it came to her son's affairs, she was quite clear-headed.

Anyway, this Jia Huan will most likely be his brother-in-law in the future, so it would be no problem to bring him along, so he smiled and said:
"What a coincidence! Grandma Rong of Ningguo Mansion has a younger brother named Qin Zhong, who is now about the same age as Huan'er."

"Brother Rong mentioned it to me before, and he also wanted me to teach him. If Brother Huan doesn't mind, I will introduce them to each other and hire a famous teacher for them both to have some extra lessons."

Qin Zhong was also a naughty child. He originally had a very good family education, but he was not suitable for the family school of the Jia family. He was dazzled by wealth and fame, and learned bad things. In the end, he angered his father to death and lost his own life. He only realized his mistakes before he died, but it was too late to regret. Before he died, he advised Baoyu "to set his sights on fame and honor in the future."

Now that Qin Zhong has become Mr. Zhan’s adopted brother-in-law, he certainly cannot be allowed to continue to degenerate like this, so Mr. Zhan told Qin Keqing about it in private.

Now Keqing's heart has long been tied to Master Zhan, so naturally she believes whatever the master says. So she sent a message to her father, telling him about the poor conditions of the Jia family's family school and saying that she was willing to pay for a famous teacher to teach her brother out of her own pocket.

On the one hand, Qin Ye regretted that he was blinded by the reputation of the Jia family's clan school and ruined his son's studies. On the other hand, he was pleased that his daughter took care of the family, loved her younger brother, and acted like an elder sister. Of course, he agreed.

Anyway, it doesn't matter whether you drive one sheep or release two sheep. They are both my cheap brothers-in-law. It's not right to favor one over the other. Just let them all be taught.

When Aunt Zhao heard this, she immediately smiled and thanked him profusely.

Jia Huan, however, became uncomfortable and just cried out:
"I know him. He is also in the clan school. He is only good friends with Baoyu, but he looks down on me!"

Aunt Zhao then twisted her son's ears viciously, causing Jia Huan to scream and groan. She glared at him and shouted:
"This is a different time. Before, you were just a small bastard with no one to back you up. Of course, he didn't want to pay attention to you. But it's hard to say what will happen in the future!"

Jia Huan suddenly realized and stopped shouting. Instead, he laughed at his "brother-in-law".

Aunt Zhao was also interesting. She didn't hide anything. She smiled ambiguously at Master Zhan and whispered:
"I have already told my master that I will select some beautiful maids and give them to Tan Yatou. They will be her dowry in the future."

"If Master Zhan has someone he likes, just tell Huan Ge'er. I will definitely arrange everything for him and will never let Master Zhan down."

After hearing this, Mr. Zhan couldn't help but curl up his lips. Fortunately, he was still relatively rational and knew that his image could not be lost, so he hurriedly said seriously:
"I don't understand what you mean, Auntie!"

"I have nothing to do with your family's personnel transfer arrangements, so I have no right to interfere."

Then Master Zhan changed the subject and said:

"But I'm short of manpower at the winery right now. I heard that my aunt has a brother named Zhao Guoji, who is honest, down-to-earth and hardworking. If you don't mind, he can come to the manor and be a manager and help me out."

After hearing this, Aunt Zhao laughed so hard that her fox eyes narrowed into slits.

She waved her handkerchief at Master Zhan, threw him a coquettish glance, and said with a half-reproachful and half-coquettish smile:
"You men are all so pretentious, not at all straightforward."

"If you want to do a favor, just say it's a favor, but you have to act like you're begging for help."

"I accept Master Zhan's kindness, and I will ask my brother to report to the mansion later."

"Please rest assured, Master Zhan. I will definitely carefully select the maidservant for Tan's dowry, and I will definitely not let you suffer any loss, Master Zhan!"

As they were talking, another group of people came over, led by Baoyu. When Aunt Zhao saw them, she took Jia Huan and said goodbye and left.

As soon as the two of them left, Baoyu came over, grabbed Master Zhan's hand, and looked hesitant, as if he didn't know how to start the conversation.

Mr. Zhan knew that Aunt Zhao was unreliable and thought it was just a secret. Baoyu received the news from Tanchun that she was targeting his maid and came to beg for mercy, so Mr. Zhan did not give him a chance to speak, but simply put his arm around his shoulders and walked out the door with a smile.

"Haha... Baoyu came just in time. The Xue family brought back some foreign goods from the sea. Let's go over and have a look."

"Speaking of which, Baoyu has been staying at home these days and has not come to play with Wenlong and the others. I wonder what he has been doing?"

"Could it be that Baoyu intends to study poetry and take the imperial examination in the future?"

As expected, when Baoyu heard the word "imperial examination", he felt as if his lungs were stabbed. He immediately became angry, threw all the original things behind his mind, and shouted with his neck stiff:

"If you want to study, just study. Why do you have to do this stupid imperial examination?"

"Those scholars, they pass off nonsense from who knows where as the words of saints, and all they talk about is official career and economics. They only remember the eight-part essays in their heads and just want to be parasites."

"I will never do such a thing!"

Zhan Ershisi didn't want him to change the subject again, so he didn't follow his tone and just teased him:
"You are a son of a noble family, so you naturally look down on the official career and economy. But if scholars in this world want to have enough food and clothes and not let their families starve, they must make a name for themselves."

"Even if you don't take the imperial examination, you still have to work and do business, you can't just sit at home and eat idle meals."

"Now Huan Ge'er has the ambition to make progress. I plan to take him and Qin Zhong away from the Jia family school and hire famous teachers to teach them. They will surely achieve something in the future."

"If Baoyu is interested, he can come along."

Baoyu was indeed provoked, and immediately became annoyed, shouting with a dark face:
"I thought that Brother Zhan was a man who regarded money as dirt, but now it seems that he is just an ordinary person."

"You can pursue your own fame and fortune, but don't lead others astray."

"Huan San'er is fine, he is just a vulgar person, you can do whatever you want to him, but you can't let Qin Zhong, who is so beautiful and refined, be defiled by you and make her smell like money."

Zhan Ershi laughed and said:

"Baoyu, you should go and tell Master Zheng what he said, and see if he will hit you with a big stick!"

"You look down on the imperial examinations, but don't ruin other people's path to advancement, or you will surely be resented in the future."

Baoyu had always been afraid of his father. When he heard Zhan Ershisi trying to scare him, he immediately lowered his voice and snorted:

"What kind of road to success? It's clearly a road that turns people into dogs. I saved him and taught him to be a good person. I don't know how grateful he will be to me in the future. How could he blame me?"

Zhan Ershi sighed and shook his head, "Baoyu, you don't understand. These days, being a human may not be as comfortable as being a dog. Moreover, many people want to be dogs but have no way to do so."

Baoyu sneered after hearing this:

"Haha, what Brother Zhan said is really strange. This person is doing well. Who would be willing to be a dog for no reason?"

Zhan 24 said pointedly:
"Of course it's because being a dog gives you meat to eat, but being a human means you starve to death. If you don't want to die or want to eat meat, then you have no choice but to be a dog."

Baoyu didn't understand at all and just kept shaking his head.

"Brother Zhan is really good at telling jokes. I want to be a human being and eat meat. Who can do anything to me?"

"Everyone wants to make money without doing anything, but this is so difficult!"

Mr. Zhan's words were spoken from the heart. He originally thought that after cooperating with the four kings and eight dukes, he would first lead them to make money, gain their trust and support, and then he could start the next plan.

But the problem is, there is a reason why the Four Kings and Eight Dukes are being suppressed to the point of being unable to breathe by the current emperor.

The families of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes today are no longer the first generation of founders with unique vision and extraordinary courage. The people in charge now are all useless people who have been passed down for several generations.

Even if the heads of some families are still somewhat capable, it is difficult for them to suppress the objections of family members and force certain things to go forward.

When making money, those greedy tribesmen would like to kick away all their allies and earn every last penny. However, when it comes to initial investment and taking money out of their pockets, they are more stingy than each other, saying that this is not good or that is not good, and they can always find all kinds of excuses.

In order to prepare for the big plan in the future, Zhan Ershisi has been communicating with various parties these days besides picking up girls. However, whenever he mentioned this plan, others would avoid the topic and refuse to continue discussing it with him in detail.

Even though he had prepared sufficient plans, various countermeasures, and the huge rewards that might be reaped in the future, he could not convince these people to participate.

And the worst thing is that the four kings and eight dukes are of one mind. Even if the leaders of one or two families see the huge rewards behind this big plan and want to participate, they cannot withstand the overall opposition of the four kings and eight dukes and can only give up with regret.

These parasites have been spoiled over the years. Under the collusion between officials and businessmen, they have always been accustomed to making quick money. They only want others to pave the way for their business and then reap the fruits of their labor.

During these days, countless people have hinted to him in various ways, telling him that there are ways to make money and that he will be rich if he follows them.

Zhan Ershisi had a brief chat with them and found out that those so-called ways to get rich were nothing more than collusion between officials and businessmen to commit robbery and plunder.

Of course, you can get rich, but in this kind of thing, the ones who get the biggest share in the end are always the officials. The small businessman Zhan Ershisi is just a running errand boy, and he may be thrown out at any time to quell public anger.

Zhan Ershisi is not a fool. Why would he seek his own death instead of taking the smooth road?

Seeing that Zhan Ershi was unwilling to go along with them, this group of people felt more and more that Zhan Ershi was an ungrateful person, a hopeless case, and became even more unwilling to get involved in his grand plan.

Things had come to the point where Zhan Ershisi began to wonder whether he should jump ship again.

Previously, because of the incident involving Prince Zhongshun, he had rebelled against the Emperor and joined the side of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes.

As for the liquor tax and other things that came after, he naturally "reasonably avoided taxes" and did not pay them, which completely ended his original method of "using taxes to flatter the superiors". Strictly speaking, he had already greatly offended the current emperor.

However, when it comes to political matters, there is no such thing as a firm stance. One just goes whichever way the wind blows stronger.

All those officials in the court are slaves of three families!

He wanted to board the ship of the emperor, but he didn't get any response and was even humiliated by a steward. It was the court that was wrong, but no one would reason with him.

In recent days, the wine business has been growing, and the tax revenue lost by the court has naturally increased. He doesn't believe that the emperor is not angry. He has proved his united front value with his actual actions, and he needs to be won over by the emperor. What he lacks is just a suitable opportunity.

It is just like the previous opportunity to "flatter the superiors with taxes".

This opportunity cannot be waited for, he has to find a way to create it himself.

If you really count, when he took a concubine, Prince Zhongshun asked the beaten steward to come to the house and deliver a gift. He never went to return the gift, which seemed quite rude.

It shouldn’t be!

This really shouldn't happen!

I have to inquire carefully later to see if Prince Zhongshun has any birthday celebrations or concubines recently. I have to go to their house to test their opinion.

Look at that civil servant. Even though he was your mortal enemy, he was still smiling when they met just before he stabbed you!
When there is a happy event in someone else's family, gifts will be given every time.

What is this called?
What a bearing!
Compared with others, Zhan Ershisi suddenly felt that his own temperament was not high enough!

It needs to be changed in the future!

Not only do you have to send gifts to your enemies, you also have to have the magnanimity of "After you die, I will take care of your wife and children"!

While sighing in his heart, he tried to evade Jia Baoyu by saying things that he didn't want to hear. Sure enough, not long after, Jia Baoyu left in a huff.

Smiling at Jia Baoyu's receding back, Zhan Nezha went out happily, got on the carriage, and went home.

When he got home, he saw Xing Xiuyan coming to greet him. She first helped him take off his coat and hung it up, served him hot tea, and then reported:
"Master, Miss Qingwen can't do it anymore and plans to leave."

"Ok?"

Zhan Ershisi was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized that most likely Jia Baoyu came to him not because of Tanchun's maid, but because of Qingwen's matter. As a result, he was angered and left without being able to speak.

The reason why Baoyu looked hesitant was probably because it was he who begged Zhan Ershisi to take Qingwen in that day, and he promised that Qingwen would be able to do the job.

As a result, Qingwen couldn't bear the hardship of being a female worker in the workshop, so she found a way to contact him and asked him to arrange another job for her, which made him very embarrassed.

Zhan Ershisi didn't know what other arrangements Baoyu was going to ask him to make for Qingwen, but just by looking at Baoyu's hesitant expression, he could guess that it was not an easy thing to do.

Since it's not easy to do, then just don't say anything!
Anyway, Baoyu didn't say anything, so you can't blame me.

Zhan Ershisi then ordered:
"In that case, then let Miss Qingwen do as she pleases. Go wherever you want. We don't force labor here."

"Although she hasn't worked for a month yet, for Baoyu's sake, let's pay her a month's salary."

"We are good businessmen and we would never dare to deduct wages."

Xing Xiuyan laughed when she heard this:

"I'm afraid you won't be able to find a job that pays five taels of silver a month even if you look all over the world. In addition, it provides food and lodging, and even provides medical care if you're sick. If anyone knows about this, who wouldn't praise our Zhan family as a kind family?"

"Qingwen's embroidery skills are really good. It's a pity that she left. It will seriously affect the delivery efficiency of our clothing!"

"Master, how about you try to keep him?"

After hearing this, Master Zhan raised his palm and slapped her round buttocks hard, scolding with a smile:

"Where do you get so many tricks to show off in front of the master?"

"If the master wants to take her in, he can just go ahead and take her in. There's no need for you to test her here!"

"She must still not understand her position. She still thinks she is Baoyu's maid. She is so picky and needs labor reform!"

"If she doesn't reform, the master won't take her in. Just let her go wherever she wants. Just wait and see how she gets hurt!"

Xiu Yan was slapped in the face. Her face turned red and she rolled her eyes at Master Zhan seductively. Then she covered her buttocks and walked out slowly.

Mr. Zhan was drinking tea leisurely and thinking about business matters. Not long after, Xiu Yan came back and said with a smile:
"Master, Qingwen gestured to me for a long time, and it seemed that she wanted to meet you and thank you in person."

"Ha ha……"

Mr. Zhan was too lazy to pay attention to Qingwen's little thoughts. He just sneered and waved his hand:

"Just tell her that I took her in purely for Baoyu's sake, and let her go and thank Baoyu."

"There's no need for a meeting or anything like that."

Xiu Yan then turned around and went out, sending Qing Wen away.

Qingwen was really dumbfounded now.

The Zhan Mansion was originally some distance away from the Ning and Rong Mansions. She was busy with work and had no time to come out to see Baoyu. So she took out some of the loose change she had saved and asked someone to help pass the message to Baoyu to come over to meet her.

Everyone in the Zhan Mansion had a lot of money, and no one would pay any attention to her if she gave less. Just by passing on this message, she had worked for half a month in vain.

Fortunately, Baoyu came as promised and had a detailed talk with her. After some gestures and guesses, he finally found out that her job was very hard.

Baoyu was filled with grief and patted his chest to promise that he would talk to Brother Zhan today and ask him to give her a less busy job. If Brother Zhan refused, he would send someone to pick her up and place her somewhere else.

Qingwen has been working in the Zhan Mansion for nearly a month now and has some understanding of the situation there.

The salary paid by the Zhanfu is indeed generous, but the work is also really hard.

The most common phrase that the housekeeper Yang Yougong said every day was, We don’t keep idle people in the Zhan Mansion!

The second most common thing is that even if you don’t want to do it, there are plenty of people who are willing to do it!
The rules in this mansion are very strict. Except for the concubines and some maids around them, if anyone else makes a mistake, they will be fined at the very least, or expelled from the mansion at the worst. There is no mercy at all.

The most unbearable thing is that the work schedule of this exhibition mansion is very full, leaving no chance for people to slack off.

Once Yang Yougong saw people slacking off or gossiping in a group, he would conclude that these people were not doing enough work and would immediately throw a bunch of work at them.

Moreover, once these tasks are assigned to you, it is difficult to get rid of them. This person will basically be the one doing the work from now on, and will be punished if he fails to finish the work.

So even if Mr. Zhan arranged an easier job for her, I'm afraid it wouldn't be really easy.

Working in such a place is really suffocating. Others may be able to tolerate it, but Qingwen definitely can't.

In addition, although she could not speak, she had an outstanding appearance and good skills. She was very outstanding among the women and servants, and her income and bonus were also very high.

There are still many servants and slaves in the Zhan Mansion, and it is inevitable that they have some thoughts about her. During breaks or after meals, they will inevitably come to her side and try to curry favor with her in various ways, hoping to get both money and people.

But they didn't know that although Qingwen was mute, she was still very smart. She would never look down on ordinary servants like them and usually didn't show any favor to them.

But many people just fell for it. The colder her face was, the more people came up to her, which made Qingwen very annoyed.

Because of these two reasons, Qingwen had already made up her mind not to stay here, so as soon as Baoyu left, she went to find Aunt Xing to resign.

Aunt Xing's attempt to keep her was truly sincere, she could see it, and she felt a little proud of herself, but she was still determined not to stay.

Is being good at a craft a reason to do the same job all day long?

There is no such thing in the world!

After resigning, she waited for Baoyu to come and pick her up. However, after standing at the gate of Zhan's mansion for half an hour, she did not see Baoyu's carriage coming.

She wanted to go back to the mansion to question him, but the gatekeeper would not let her in.

"My lady, since you have already left the exhibition hall, you can't just come back in casually."

"I see you've been waiting here for quite some time. Maybe you haven't waited for the person who should have come."

"Look, don't wait any longer, just go wherever you need to go!"

"If your home is too far from here, I can rent a donkey cart for you, but you have to pay for it yourself."

If it weren't for the fact that Qingwen was so beautiful and that he knew his master was a widower who couldn't figure out Qingwen's identity, he would have impatiently driven her away long ago. How could he be so polite?
Qingwen tried to make this man understand what she meant for a long time, but failed. Finally, she had no choice but to give up, picked up her small bag, and walked towards the Rongguo Mansion.

Fortunately, the two places were not far away, and she arrived at the gate of Rongguo Mansion not long after walking.

After hovering near the door for a while, she was seen by someone, but she was driven out, so the gatekeeper pretended not to see anything.

After hesitating for a while, Qingwen gritted her teeth and walked to the gate of the mansion.

This time the gatekeeper could not pretend he hadn't seen it, so he hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his arm, blocked Qingwen's way, and said with a fake smile:

"Oh, isn't this Miss Qingwen? I heard that you had a fever and damaged your throat. Why didn't you stay at home and take good care of yourself? Why did you have time to come here today?"

When Qingwen was exposed in front of her, her eyes widened and she glared at the man angrily.

But things are different now. She is no longer the big maid who is respected by everyone in the mansion. The doorman ignored her and just stood at the door with his arms folded, smiling, and refused to let her in.

After the two looked at each other for a moment, Qingwen was the first to give in. She lowered her eyes, looked at her toes, and then began to gesture.

The man just looked confused and said with a smile:

"Miss Qingwen, this is really difficult for me. I am not dumb, so how can I understand what you are saying?"

Qingwen's body stiffened and she lowered her arms. Her eyes were full of humiliation and anger, but she finally took out a small piece of silver from her waist bag and handed it to the man.

The man took the silver, weighed it in his hand, put it in his own pocket, and sneered:

"The girl wants me to pass on a message, right?"

"This little bit of silver is not enough!"

"I heard that Master Bao introduced you to Master Zhan."

"The money in the Zhan Mansion is flowing like water, and you only use this little to deal with me. How much do you look down on me!"

After hearing this, Qingwen was so angry that she was shaking all over. She couldn't help but screaming with her face flushed and her neck thick.

The man turned his head to the side, dug into his ears with his little finger, and then blew his fingertips in front of his face, saying with great disdain:

"Don't yell at me, I didn't say that!"

"Your brother and sister-in-law are shouting all over the house, as if they are afraid that others don't know."

"Now everyone in the mansion feels sorry for Master She. Not only did he get hit in the crotch for no reason, but in the end, it was Master Zhan who got the upper hand."

"But it's normal, after all, Mr. Zhan is young and rich!"

At this point, the smile on the doorman's face turned obscene. He glanced at Qingwen's body several times with lustful eyes and said with a drooling face:

"What's the matter? Did Master Zhan get tired of playing with you and kicked you out again?"

Qingwen finally couldn't bear this humiliation anymore. She screamed, rushed over and grabbed the man's face with her hands.

The man was caught off guard and was hit hard on the face by her. He became furious and kicked Qingwen to the ground. Not satisfied yet, he kicked her a few more times and kicked her down from the steps in front of the mansion gate, making her roll on the ground.

"Pooh!"

The man spat fiercely on Qingwen's face as she struggled to get up, and cursed:
"You bitch!"

"It's only because the masters and mistresses are merciful that they let you go. If it were up to me, you who dared to harm the servants of the master's family should be beaten to death!"

"You were lucky enough to be saved, but instead of being grateful, you even dared to come back and harass me?"

"Is Master Bao worthy of your desire?"

"Why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror? Even when your voice is still good, you are just a maid. But you don't understand your own identity and really think you are a lady!"

"Do you have that fate?"

"When you were in the mansion before, everyone gave you some face. That was all because of Master Bao. Do you really think you are so great?"

"Even now, you still haven't learned your lesson. You dare to show your teeth to me?"

"Look, I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

After the man finished cursing, he stepped forward and kicked Qingwen, who had just gotten up, to the ground again. He kicked her again and again, making Qingwen scream and wail.

Ningrong Street has always been prosperous, with heavy traffic and people coming and going. The area in front of Rongguo Mansion is a place that attracts everyone's attention. When Qingwen appeared, she had already been noticed, and the subsequent conflict was exposed in broad daylight. However, in full view of the public, no one spoke up for Qingwen.
