Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

I thought everyone would burst out laughing, but instead, they all seemed lost in thought, and some even started asking the old women's masters for help.

Bai Suihe was now gloating. She figured that after she returned today, the entire Zhang County would be in an uproar. In her heart, she was also secretly praying for the husbands of these ladies, hoping that they would be strong enough and their hearts could hold up, otherwise she would have to attend another banquet.

While Bai Suihe wasn't paying attention, Gu Xingyang actually pried her hands open. This Ma Mingli probably didn't know that she was He Mo now. Her eyes were blazing as she looked at Hu Yuzhu standing next to Lin Dali. Hu Yuzhu was dressed in pink and looked shy. He Dali's eyes were completely focused on that woman, and he didn't even see his arrival.

A sense of panic welled up inside her. She knew that she had some influence and that she was willing to humble herself to serve Lin Dali, which was why he favored her.

But the woman in front of her was younger than her, and even more beautiful. How could she compare?

“Master,” Hu Yuzhu gently tugged at Lin Dali’s sleeve at the prompting of her mistress’s eyes, “this must be the concubine Ma that you mentioned. This humble servant should serve you tea.”

Lin Dali still had feelings for Ma Mingli. As soon as he heard that she was coming, he quickly distanced himself from Hu Yuzhu and prepared to greet Ma Mingli with a smile. However, when he looked over, his smile froze on his face.

"Is this Mingli?" Lin Dali suddenly felt his heart race, and he quickly covered his chest with his hand, gasping for breath. "This is terrible! What kind of outfit is this?"

At the same time, he also noticed that there was a strange atmosphere surrounding the whole scene, and everyone seemed to be having a good time.

"On this joyous day, Widow Ma, why are you dressed like this?" Hu Wan'er preemptively said, "This is simply outrageous, you have no manners at all."

Bai Suihe couldn't help but give a thumbs up. If it were her, she wouldn't have been able to do it so meticulously.

She saw Lin Dali with his mouth open, about to scold Hu Wan'er, but Hu Wan'er spoke first, and he stood there, not knowing what to say next.

"Madam, why am I dressed like this? Don't you know?" Despite the many scrutinizing gazes, Ma Mingli, knowing the situation was already like this, decided to retort without hesitation, "These unruly servants were all sent by you, and they didn't even give me a proper set of clothes..."

"How dare you!" A servant woman beside Madam Hu stepped forward quickly and slapped her twice. "How dare you, a lowly concubine, speak to the mistress of the house like that?"

"You can't even take care of your own appearance, yet you want to blame your problems on the wife? Who gave you the audacity?"

After the old woman finished hitting her, she looked at her palm and felt a little regretful. She had hit her too hard. She scraped off half of the powder, and although it was still ugly, it seemed a little more pleasing to the eye than before.

"Master," Widow Ma, now only wanting to find her own backer, followed her old habit and coaxed Lin Dali in a sweet voice.

But they forgot that she was no longer the pretty girl she used to be. The men present were so frightened that they all shivered. At the same time, they made up their minds that they would definitely not touch women for the next few days. The impact was too strong, and they would probably have nightmares for a while.

Lin Dali was so frightened that he took a half step back. The tenderness and affection he had shown earlier vanished at this moment. He resented Hu Wan'er for being so intolerant. She could only do things in private. Now that she had done it in public, he was afraid that he would become a laughing stock for a long time.

It was also Ma Mingli's fault; she didn't know what she looked like and shouldn't have come to the main hall at this time. "What nonsense are you talking about? If you weren't dressed like this, do you think these old women could control you? What you were wearing and what you had on you before were not things you should have. I didn't pursue the matter of you stealing my dowry, and you're turning around and accusing me?"

Hu Wan'er gestured for the steward to come forward. "I won't hold these things against you. Since you want to be with my master and have already lost your virginity to him, I can't force you to be drowned in a pig cage. Since today is an auspicious day, you can come in with Concubine Hu. Consider it a good deed of mine to spare your life. From now on, you must serve the master well and fulfill your duties..."

I've learned something, I've learned something...

The ladies were secretly cheering. They had thought they would come to see a pitiful and helpless woman from the inner quarters, and that they would come to watch the show and help her out. But Hu Wan'er gave them such a big twist, which was really exciting.

All the methods they had considered on their way here hadn't given them a chance to act, but Hu Wan'er's approach today had broadened their horizons and given them a lot of inspiration.

Even though Ma Mingli was a widow who had been married before, and she had indeed slept with Lin Dali without any status or recognition, being pointed out like this in public still greatly impacted her self-esteem. Standing there under scrutiny, she felt utterly ashamed.

Lin Dali, whom she had worked so hard to win over, was now staring intently at the little vixen beside him, who had even shown disgust towards her just moments before.

This was different from what she had expected. She wanted to escape, but she didn't even have a chance.

The old women beside him were staring at him menacingly. He had suffered a loss at their hands before, and he was quite wary of them.

These people weren't servants of the Lin family, so she had no way to deal with them, let alone use Lin Dali to suppress them.

Now, hearing Madam Lin, whom she used to look down on, sitting there high and mighty, scolding her, she could only swallow her grievances no matter how great they were.

With teary eyes, she wanted to ask Lin Dali for help, but when she saw the look of disgust in his eyes, she felt even more hurt.

"I can teach you some rules later, but we can't let you delay the auspicious time." Hu Wan'er had someone set up a desk for them to sign and affix their fingerprints.

Hu Yuzhu was originally trained in the brothel, but now she has been redeemed by Madam Lin, given a surname and name, and registered under the name of Hu's concubine, making her her nominal half-sister.

Moreover, the lady promised her that if she was willing to remarry after Mr. Lin passed away, she would receive a generous dowry. If she was unwilling to remarry, the three sons of the Lin family also promised to take care of her in her old age.

Anyway, this is how her life will be. It's already a great blessing that Madam Lin gave her this opportunity, allowing her to avoid having to entertain guests all day like the other women in the building.

She had already made up her mind that even after Lin Dali passed away, she would not remarry. At worst, she would find a Taoist temple to cultivate herself, which she thought the three young masters would be more willing to do.

In the blink of an eye, she had already pressed her handprint and stood obediently beside Lin Dali. This behavior greatly satisfied Lin Dali's vanity. Compared to her, Ma Mingli, who was still dawdling, seemed rather unreasonable. (End of Chapter)
