The Heavens Begin with Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 74: Burning the Boats and Failure

Under the influence of these two events, Zhao Guoji joined the winery as a manager and Master Huan Sanye was invited by Master Zhan to have special treatment from a famous teacher, the stock price of Tanchun's marriage quickly reached its limit!

Now everyone in the two mansions is talking about it, and they all think that the Third Miss has the greatest hope of being Mr. Zhan's future wife.

Jia Huan, in particular, was outspoken and more than once called the servants "brother-in-law" without any scruples at all.

After hearing the news from the maid, Tanchun was immediately ashamed and angry. She rushed to Aunt Zhao's yard in anger and started to demand an explanation.

"What on earth is Auntie thinking?"

"I haven't even married yet, but my aunt is already trying to get benefits for her family. She asked my brother to be the manager of the Zhan Family Winery, and asked Brother Zhan to hire a famous teacher to teach her son. How will Brother Zhan see me?"

"Even if I were a man, if I knew my future wife's family was this kind of people who only wanted to suck my blood, I would not want to get married!"

Aunt Zhao, however, did not take it seriously. She lay leisurely in the rocking chair, crossed her long legs, rocked them back and forth, and waved her hands with a smile:

"So, you are still a woman after all, and you don't understand men's minds at all!"

"This man, when he looks at a woman, he always looks at her face first, then her figure. Everything else is secondary."

"The saints all say that we should marry a virtuous wife and a beautiful concubine, but in reality, how many people can do that?"

"In today's world, when a man marries a wife, he first looks at her family background. If her family background is not good, then she is not virtuous enough. But if the family backgrounds are similar, the more beautiful the wife is, the more virtuous she is!"

"If the wife is not beautiful enough, the dowry must be beautiful enough, otherwise the woman must be jealous and not virtuous enough!"

"Don't worry, Tan girl. I'll help you. You are definitely the most virtuous one among the three girls!"

After hearing this, Tanchun was completely stunned.

Where did these fallacies and heresies come from?

Aunt Zhao glanced at her daughter with a smile and continued:
"Girl, when you do things, you always worry about this and that, for fear of offending others. You are too cautious."

"Master Zhan has a big family and a lot of wealth, he definitely won't care about this!"

After hearing this, Tanchun said angrily:

"No matter how wealthy he is, it's still his family. Who would be willing to give away their hard-earned money to others for no reason?"

"The way Auntie behaves shows that she is short-sighted and only cares about the little profits in front of her, but completely disregards her daughter's future happiness!"

Aunt Zhao was immediately furious when she saw her daughter dared to challenge her again. She sat up from her rocking chair, frowned, and cursed:
"You heartless little hoof!"

"I just can't stand your mother's kindness!"

"In your eyes, your mother is a big fool!"

"But don't you see that I have been so arrogant for so many years, but that lady still can't do anything to me!"

"You usually think you are so smart, but you forget that I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice!"

"When it comes to looking at men, you are still dozens of streets behind me!"

"You just thought I was taking advantage of the situation, but you didn't know I was also taking the opportunity to test the intentions of Master Zhan."

"It's true that no one wants to give away their hard-earned money to outsiders, but no one would mind taking care of their wife's future family!"

"If Master Zhan is unwilling to let us take advantage, or even gets angry at you because of this, then he probably never really regarded you as his future wife, but only as a stranger. Then no matter how hard you try, it will all be in vain!"

"Now that Master Zhan is so generous, not only has he arranged a managerial position for your uncle, but he has also paid out of his own pocket to hire a famous teacher to train your brother, which means that at least he has you in his heart!"

"Who he will marry in the future depends on the efforts of all parties, but I can tell whether he has feelings for you with just a simple try!"

"Do you understand?"

Tanchun was scolded by Aunt Zhao. She wanted to retort, but she felt that what Aunt Zhao said made sense, so she couldn't say anything sarcastic.

And when she heard that Mr. Zhan had her in his heart, she couldn't help but feel a little happier and her face flushed.

Aunt Zhao was an experienced person and was very sensitive to matters between men and women. She saw through Tanchun's emotional state at a glance and sneered:
"Just looking at your usual heartless look, I always suspected that the midwife had given me the wrong baby when I was born. Now seeing your horny look, I am sure it must be my child!"

Tanchun was immediately embarrassed and annoyed by her words. Her anger could not help but burst out again. She raised her eyebrows and shouted:

"Huan San'er is now outspoken and keeps calling Brother Zhan his brother-in-law. Could it be that you, Auntie, arranged this?"

"That's right, I told him to call me that!"

Aunt Zhao looked up with an expression that said, "I did a great job, you should thank me," which made Tanchun so angry that she was fuming.

"It's really you?!"

Tanchun couldn't believe her ears.

In fact, she just thought that Huan Saner was a naughty kid who was trying to trick her sister, but who knew that the mastermind behind it was actually her own mother!
This made it extremely difficult for her to accept!
Tanchun only felt a pain in her liver. She put one hand on her waist and pressed hard on the liver area. Her lips trembled and her voice shook.

"Auntie, you are so reckless, haven't you ever thought that if this marriage doesn't happen, it will ruin your daughter's reputation?"

"You can't say, this is another test, right?"

Aunt Zhao looked down upon her own daughter and sneered:
"Marriage is the most important thing for a girl. If you encounter such a thing, you must do your best. If you fail, you will die. There is no way to leave a way out for yourself!"

"If even you know this, do you think the master will know it?"

"If the master knew, would he push you harder?"

"Will Master Zhan know?"

"If Master Zhan has no feelings for you, then I wouldn't dare to use this method recklessly. But now that it has been confirmed that Master Zhan has you in his heart, then this desperate method is the most effective!"

"When he finds out that not marrying you would ruin your reputation, guess what he will do in the end?"

"If he knew that other sisters could find happy marriages in the future even if they didn't marry him, but you were the only one with no way out, would he not choose you?"

"Everyone knows that Mr. Zhan is a kind gentleman, and gentlemen... can be deceived!"

These words were so powerful and sonorous that Tanchun was stunned. She felt that she had to look at her mother in a new light.

Why didn’t I realize before that my mother, who always does stupid things, is so knowledgeable and decisive?
"So... you had planned all this since you asked Brother Zhan for favors?"

"Oh, that's not the case." Aunt Zhao blushed and quickly turned around and lay back on the rocking chair. "I just thought of it when I was arguing with you just now."

"..." Tanchun's heart, which had just been excited, suddenly cooled down again, "Why did the aunt let Huan Saner make a scene?"

"whispering sound!"

Aunt Zhao curled her lips and said disdainfully:

"What's the use of talking about reputation or not?"

"If you can't marry Master Zhan, the one you marry in the future will probably not be better than now."

"As a concubine's daughter, you can either choose a legitimate son from a low-status family, or a concubine's son from a family of equal status."

"No matter which one it is, when the time comes, the man will only marry you as a concubine of the Jia family. It's for the sake of family alliance. Who would care about your reputation?"

"If you are really worried about this, then wait until the marriage fails and tell the master that your brother is young and outspoken. Let the master beat him up, and then ask the old lady to keep him quiet in the mansion. Who else will know these things?"

After listening to this, Tanchun sighed helplessly. This is the standard way of her aunt!
As expected, I shouldn’t have any extra expectations of my aunt. She is still the same aunt and hasn’t changed at all!

However, after hearing what her aunt said, Tanchun really felt that this desperate method was not a bad idea.

Based on her understanding of Brother Zhan, if Brother Zhan really wanted to choose one among the three girls, she, who had no way out, would definitely be chosen.

Since the doubts had been resolved and everything was satisfactory, Tanchun was too lazy to continue arguing with Aunt Zhao here, so she didn't stay any longer and turned around and left without hesitation, making Aunt Zhao so angry that she jumped up and down and cursed at her.

"You little bastard, you rush over when I need you, and then turn around and leave when I don't need you anymore. You are such a piece of shit!"

Even though she was cursing, a smile appeared on her lips. It was obvious that she was very pleased with the change in Tanchun's attitude towards her in the past few days.

She was happy, but Mrs. Wang was unhappy.

Mrs. Wang didn't care much about whether Tanchun's reputation would be affected, nor did she care about what stupid things Aunt Zhao was doing behind her back, but she cared very much about Jia Huan.

Although Jia Huan is a bastard, he is also the son of Master Zheng, and will have a direct impact on her beloved Phoenix Egg.

All along, Jia Huan has been a good-for-nothing, which made her feel at ease. But who would have thought that Zhan Ershi would suddenly appear and want to find some famous teacher to give Jia Huan special treatment. This made her very dissatisfied.

What made her even more dissatisfied was that she had not yet started to attack Zhan Ershisi because of this matter.

On the one hand, Zhan Twenty-four had good intentions, and even Master Zheng had to accept his kindness. On the other hand, Zhan Twenty-four did not only treat Jia Huan differently, he had clearly invited his own son, but was flatly rejected by Baoyu.

After Mrs. Wang got the news, she immediately rushed to Jiangyunxuan. As soon as she opened the door, she saw her beloved son and Sheyue chatting and laughing there. She was holding a box of rouge in her hands and her face was painted like a big tabby cat. She was immediately furious.

She was reluctant to punish her own son, so she pointed her spear at Sheyue and shouted angrily:
"What a slut!"

"Why don't you urge the young master to study hard every day and just hang out there? What's your intention?"

Musk Moon was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and said in defense:
"Madam, calm down. Second Master just read a book for the whole morning and is a little tired now, so he is taking a rest."

In fact, Baoyu was angry at what Mr. Zhan said. Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Musk Moon deliberately brought some rouge to make him happy, and it really worked.

Baoyu also hurried over and hugged Mrs. Wang's arm, saying coquettishly:

"Madam, please don't be angry. I just saw that the actress in the theater had beautiful makeup on her face a few days ago, so I mixed it myself and tried it. It has nothing to do with Musk Moon."

Mrs. Wang snorted coldly, knowing that her son was protecting the maid again. She became even more displeased with Musk Moon. Seeing that she was quite pretty, she decided to send her back to Tanchun.

She turned around and asked Baoyu with a fierce look:
"Let me ask you, your elder brother Zhan wants to hire a famous teacher with a large sum of money and ask you to study with him, why don't you go?"

She always frightened Baoyu like this, and after so many times, Baoyu had already seen through her true colors and knew when she was really angry and when she was just threatening. Now, seeing that her face was tense but there was no anger in her eyes, he knew that she was threatening again, so he was not afraid and just said rudely:
"What's the difference between a famous teacher and an unknown teacher? A truly famous teacher would never be tempted by money to become a tutor for a few children."

"Most likely it was the frustrated juren or xiucai who took the words of the saints out of context and boasted about them in the examination hall, which pleased the examiner, who awarded him a title. Then he turned around and used this title to make money."

"If I want to study, can't I study at home? Why should I go outside the palace to study with some famous teacher?"

After listening to this, Mrs. Wang also felt that there was some truth in what he said.

There must be a private school in Rongguo Mansion. Jia Zhu studied at home and went to school at the age of 14. It can be seen that the level of private schools is not low.

In this case, it doesn’t really matter whether or not to study outside.

The reason why she wanted Jia Baoyu to go out to study was mainly because she was worried that her son would fall behind Jia Huan. She was afraid that if Jia Huan became successful, it might be bad for her son.

But since the teaching level at his own school is not bad, and Jia Huan couldn't learn anything in his own private school, could he learn something if he changed to another one?

After realizing this, she no longer had the idea of ​​sending her son away from home to study. She just asked someone to secretly keep an eye on Jia Huan to see if he had made any progress, and then make a decision.

On the other side, after Zhan Ershisi returned home, Yang Yougong came over quietly to report.

"Master, Miss Qingwen's face was scratched and she is now lying dead in Duohunchong's house, waiting to die."

"Huh? Who did it?"

Zhan Ershisi was also quite surprised when he heard this. He thought that Qingwen would go back to find Baoyu, and after going around in circles, Baoyu would arrange her to be with him again. Sooner or later, she would still have to undergo labor reform, it would just be a change of job.

But who would have thought that Qingwen would fail without even seeing Baoyu.

"It is said that Qingwen scratched the doorman of Rongguo Mansion. The doorman was still not satisfied after beating her, so he scratched her face with broken tiles."

Zhan Ershisi smacked his lips and sighed:

"When the wall falls, everyone pushes it down... Doesn't Baoyu know about this?"

Yang Yougong laughed and said:

"Those servants would never let this news reach Master Bao's ears. They kept it a secret and pretended not to see it."

Zhan 24 asked again:
"What about Duohunchong and Duonian? Why didn't they send a message to their sister?"

Yang Yougong curled his lips and said disdainfully:

"Ms. Qingwen used to look down on Miss Duo, and naturally she looked down on her brother, so the relationship between the two was not very harmonious."

"Is that so? Then have someone tell her that if she is willing to come back and continue working, the government will accept her and her salary will not change."

It's just a superficial injury, no big deal!

Master Zhan’s golden essence and jade liquid can cure all diseases!
Yang Yougong went out to send someone to pass a message, and soon he came back with news that Miss Qingwen looked in the direction of Zhan's mansion, knelt down and kowtowed to express her gratitude, but shook her head and refused to come back.

"Tsk... it shows that your ambition has not yet been wiped out!"

Zhan 24 thought that she must still have hope for Baoyu. If that was the case, then Mr. Zhan, who was such a good man, must help her! So Zhan 24 immediately went out to Rongguo Mansion to inform him.

Baoyu is now in a rage in the mansion because Master Zheng has given the order to transfer Musk Moon to Tanchun.

Although the two were born to the same father and lived in the same courtyard, Baoyu was not a fool. He had long known that Tanchun was vying for the position of the legitimate wife of the Zhan family. For this, he even formed a sworn brotherhood with the Xue family.

If Musk Moon is transferred there, she will definitely be brought along as a dowry in the future. By the time she arrives at the Zhan Mansion, it will be difficult for him to see her again.

When Zhan Ershisi arrived at the Crimson Yun Pavilion, he heard Baoyu crying loudly there.

"...One by one, only the new people laugh, but not the old people cry."

"Sister Bao is still alive, but she's already starting to worry about what will happen after she's gone!"

"Poor Sister Bao, she is in her prime, but she has encountered such a thing. How unfair is the heaven!"

"Why are the master and his wife so anxious? They are already busy preparing a maid for my sister's dowry. When their parents pass away, they have to observe mourning for 27 months. Now that Brother Zhan's own wife is gone, he can't just turn around and marry someone else, right?"

Xiren and Qiu Wen knew that he often talked nonsense, but they didn't take it as an offense and just kept comforting him.

"My dear Second Master, let's just talk about this in our own yard. Don't go out and talk nonsense!"

"Mushu Yue is only going to help the Third Miss now. Don't say anything like marrying someone else or giving away maids as a dowry!"

"Miss Xue's illness has been treated by many doctors, and they all said there is no cure. If there is a cure, who would not go for it?"

"If you feel heartbroken, why don't you go to Lixiangyuan more often while Miss Xue is still here, talk to her and relieve her boredom? Isn't that a good idea?"

Baoyu sobbed and said:
"Do you think I don't want to?"

"It's because Sister Bao said she didn't want to see me and wouldn't let me go over there. Otherwise, I would have loved to live over there every day."

Xiren then said angrily:
"Who can I blame, then?"

"Who told you to cry like a tearful person every time you go there? Who wouldn't feel sad when seeing you?"

"I asked you to chat with her and comfort her, not to cause trouble for her!"

Baoyu started to cry again, "How can I laugh when people are dying?"

Zhan Ershisi listened outside, then stepped into the yard and said to Baoyu with a smile:

"Don't worry, Baoyu. I have already sent people to search all over the world for the ingredients for making Lengxiang Pills. I am sure that Baochai can be saved."

When Baoyu saw Zhan Ershisi suddenly come in, he knew that his nonsense had been heard by others. He felt embarrassed and his face twitched. He wiped his face with his sleeve to wipe away the tears on his face, and shouted:
"Is what Brother Zhan said true?"

Zhan Ershisi then said with a smile:
"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?"

Seeing that Baoyu was still a little unconvinced, Zhan Ershisi stopped explaining. He said, "Anyway, I am telling the truth. The news has already spread. If you just don't believe it, then you can't blame me, the master."

Xiren saw that this was Zhan Ershisi's first time coming to Jiangyunxuan, but he was like a deserted place, with no one to pass on the message. She complained in her heart that the experienced people in the yard had been driven away, and the people who replaced them were not to her liking at all.

What she didn't know was that all those who didn't give face to Master Zhan were excluded for various reasons. Now, those who were left and could be trusted by them in this courtyard were all fed by Master Zhan.

Of course, she didn't believe what Mr. Zhan said. She just thought that Mr. Zhan was comforting Baoyu, so she didn't care about his sudden intrusion and just joined in comforting Baoyu.

Baoyu, however, was concerned about his sisters' affairs. When he heard Zhan Ershisi say that Baochai could be saved, he hurried over to ask:

"Then Musk Moon doesn't need to..." He originally wanted to say dowry, but when the words came to his mouth, he realized that it was inappropriate, so he changed the topic and said, "She went to Third Sister's place?"

That won't work!

How can the duck in the master's mouth fly away?

Zhan Ershisi then changed the subject with a smile and said:

"Does Baoyu only remember Sheyue now, but forget Qingwen?"

Baoyu was startled, then he jumped three feet high and shouted hurriedly:
"shit!"

"I forgot to tell Brother Zhan yesterday that I wanted him to help her find a new job."

But he immediately relaxed again, bowed to Zhan Ershisi, and said with a smile:
"Since Brother Zhan is here, I think he knows about this matter, so let's ask Brother Zhan to help and handle it together!"

Haha, this guy is really rude. Asking others to do things for him takes it as a matter of course.

Zhan Ershisi then sighed and said:

"Alas, Baoyu, it's too late to say this."

"As soon as I returned home yesterday, I received news that Miss Qingwen no longer wanted to work in the mansion and had officially resigned."

"I asked Xiuyan to talk to her, trying to keep her, and even negotiated her salary, and even increased it, but she was determined to leave, and there was nothing I could do."

"I sent someone to talk to her again today, hoping to get her to come back. But I found out that she came to your house yesterday to look for you, but was beaten up and her face was scratched. Now she is lying in her brother's house, with no medical care or medicine, and no one to take care of her."

"Ah..." After hearing this, Baoyu screamed and immediately forgot about Musk Moon. He didn't care that Zhan Twenty-four was his guest and ran out.

Xiren and the other two were immediately frightened and hastily apologized to Zhan Ershisi, then quickly followed Baoyu and chased after him.

Mr. Zhan had come to report the news with the mentality of watching the show, so he just followed him out of the Rongguo Mansion with a smile and went to Qingwen's home.

The last time he came here, Jia Rong had an affair with Miss Duo. When he came again this time, Miss Duo was still as charming and affectionate as ever, and the way she looked at him was as ambiguous as possible.

However, Mr. Zhan looked down on people like her and ignored her.

This girl was also very smart. She sensed Mr. Zhan's attitude and did not dare to come up and flirt with him.

Baoyu walked quickly into the room first, and then saw Qingwen with gauze wrapped around her face, which had already formed blood scabs. She was lying on the bed with a dull look in her eyes, not moving at all.

"Qingwen, I'm late..."

Baoyu's tears fell suddenly, just like when he cried for Baochai before.

People say that Sister Lin is the reincarnation of the Immortal Crimson Pearl Grass who came to pay back her tears, so she is always crying. But Baoyu, the Fairy Water, is in charge of watering the flowers, so he must have more water than Sister Lin!
Qingwen tilted her head slightly, glanced at Baoyu, then turned her head back and looked at the wall, ignoring him.

Baoyu hurried forward and held Qingwen's hand tightly. With his other hand he caressed her face lightly, and cried out in grief:
"My dear sister, how could this be possible!"

"That day, I had an argument with Brother Zhan for some reason, and for a while I forgot about it."

"Then I thought it would be okay to tell her a day later, so I didn't chase her to the Zhan Mansion, but left my sister waiting in vain."

"Sister Qingwen, tell me who hit you, and I will definitely help you fight back!"

Qingwen smiled coldly, opened her mouth and screamed a few times, glaring at him, which immediately made Baoyu even more embarrassed, and he shed tears and said:
"I forgot. Qingwen, you can't say anything."

"But don't worry, sister. When I get back, I will call the gatekeepers over and interrogate them one by one. I will definitely find the person who hurt you and let you vent your anger."

"For such a vicious person, I will shave his face and drive him out of the house!"

Qingwen glanced at Baoyu with disdain, then turned her head away, clearly showing her disbelief.

Baoyu could not bear the provocation and immediately patted his chest and shouted:

"I mean what I say. Even if I have to turn the whole house upside down, I will definitely help you vent your anger!"

"If the master and his wife don't allow it, I will go and ask the old ancestor. If the old ancestor doesn't agree, I will smash this precious jade to pieces!"

Mr. Zhan wanted to laugh as he watched from the side, as if he was watching a bad skit. But Xiren and the others did not see it that way. When they saw Baoyu reach into his bosom and take out the magical jade, they rushed forward hastily and hurriedly stuffed it back.

Xiren secretly glared at Qingwen, warning her not to go too far, and then comforted Baoyu:

"That's not what Qingwen meant."

"You know Qingwen, too. She has always been kind-hearted. How could she be willing to let you go to such trouble?"

"The master and his wife are always reasonable. If you just tell them the situation, the villain will definitely be punished by the lady. Is there any need for you to make such a fuss?"

"What do you mean by turning the house upside down?"

Xiren knew Baoyu very well and quickly calmed him down, but she did not notice that Qingwen's face on the bed was becoming increasingly gloomy. Or rather, she noticed it but still made this choice.

It was impossible for her to let Baoyu really cause chaos in the mansion. Even if Qingwen really suffered a great injustice this time, and even her face might be ruined, she would never allow it.

Ever since Qingwen was driven out of the mansion, even though they still had some affection for each other, they were no longer the good sisters they used to be.

Baoyu is the foundation of all the sisters in the mansion, and no one can influence this.

If Qingwen is sensible, Xiren doesn't mind helping her former good sister to get more rewards, but if she is not sensible, and now she can't speak, how to translate it, isn't it her who has the final say?

Qingwen also realized the meaning in Xiren's eyes. While she was feeling frustrated and resentful, she also became more and more sad.

The reason why those erotic pictorials were brought in that day was because it was Xiren who first proposed it, in order to use matters between men and women to lead Baoyu back to the right path, right?

But in the end, the only one who took the blame was the unlucky Qingwen.

If you really want to count it, Qingwen suffered on behalf of everyone, but now that she has been kicked out of the mansion, no one will remember her favor.

Qingwen had a gloomy face and lay on the bed without saying a word, allowing Xiren to express her kindness on her own initiative.

"Second Master, the most important thing now is to heal Qingwen's injury."

"Look at this room, it's so dirty and messy, even a good person would get sick, not to mention Qingwen is injured."

"We should at least move Qingwen to a cleaner room, and find someone to help take care of her, boil medicine, change the medicine, etc."

Baoyu slapped his thigh and suddenly realized, "Yes, Xiren, you have considered it carefully. I didn't think of this."

But as soon as he said this, he became embarrassed again. The reality was before him. He really had no place to put Qingwen.

There was no other way, so he had to shift his gaze to Master Zhan who was standing at the door eating melon.

Before he could speak, Master Zhan smiled and said:
"No problem, Baoyu, don't worry. I didn't want to let Qingwen go in the first place, but she refused to stay even if the salary was increased. Now if you need her, just let her come back."

"I have both manpower and empty rooms. She doesn't need to go to work during this period of recovery. She can go back to work after she recovers."

Qingwen was originally feeling annoyed and angry at Baoyu and Xiren's attitude. Suddenly, when she heard Mr. Zhan's words and thought of the hard work of the weavers in the previous month, she shuddered and sat up from the bed. She waved her hands around in panic and shook her head so hard that blood oozed out of her eyes.

"Aba... Aba Aba..."

Baoyu was so frightened that he quickly held her face with his hands, saying without speaking:
"We're not going to Brother Zhan's house. We're not going to Brother Zhan's house... I'll arrange another place for you!"

Seeing Xiren and Qiu Wen looking at him with doubtful eyes, Master Zhan immediately became angry and glared:

"What are you looking at?"

"You think I, the master, bullied her, don't you?"

"Qingwen is right here, why don't you ask her if I have ever touched her?"

"She works as an embroiderer in my house. She lives and eats with a group of women every day. If you don't believe me, go and ask a few women to see if anyone in my house has bullied her!"

"I pay her five taels of silver a month, and if she does a good job, there's also a bonus. Do I owe her anything?"

"She was so flustered and didn't want to continue because she couldn't bear the hardship. She was clearly a maid, but she treated herself like a rich lady and was spoiled. It has nothing to do with me!"

Seeing the anger on Zhan Twenty-four's face, Xiren and the other two were frightened and hurriedly bowed to apologize.

"Mr. Zhan is known for his kindness. Everyone in Beijing knows that we two never had such intentions, but Mr. Zhan misunderstood us."

Since Qingwen was unwilling to come back for labor reform, Mr. Zhan had no interest in forcing her to stay. After all, she would eventually fall into his hands, so there was no need to rush.

So Master Zhan took advantage of the topic and snorted coldly:

"Baoyu, what my family needs is an embroiderer, not an ancestor. I can't afford to serve your young lady. You'd better find another place to put her."

"Farewell!"

Mr. Zhan bowed casually, then waved his sleeves, turned around and left.

"Hey, Brother Zhan..."

Baoyu stood up and wanted to chase her, but as soon as he raised his foot, he looked back at Qingwen lying on the couch behind him and hesitated again. In the end, the woman defeated the brother, and he sat down again.

"Forget it, anyway, Brother Zhan is magnanimous and magnanimous, I will explain it to him later."

"The most urgent thing is to figure out how to place Qingwen first."
