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

Bai Suihe had a bit of a headache. "You're not going to keep visiting people like this all the time, are you?"

Gu Xingyang was a spirit at that time. Although she didn't have much of an impact on people, it still violated someone's privacy.

"Of course not. I was just watching the commotion from the window for a while. I didn't break into anyone's house," Gu Xingyang explained.

But her explanation was worse than no explanation at all. Fortunately, no one had the so-called ability to see ghosts, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble would have ensued.

Bai Suihe wanted to teach her properly and tell her not to do it again, but when she thought that they were all flesh-and-blood people now, she could only sigh and say that she would teach her slowly later.

“Let’s not generalize. At least your father is doing well now,” Bai Suihe could only say.

"Oh, I know there are a few good individuals," Gu Xingyang said dejectedly. She felt wronged because her mother had tricked her into revealing information again today…

The Ma family really didn't know what to do for the time being, so they could only turn their attention to Ma Mingli.

With Hu Yuzhu's prompting, Lin Dali finally saw that Ma Mingli hadn't made any move yet, and he immediately felt uneasy.

Mingli had said such nice things before, even saying she was willing to give up any official status for herself.

Today, the lady has given her a title and even found someone to share the burden and take care of her. What more could she ask for?
"Is Aunt Ma unhappy about my presence?" Hu Yuzhu leaned against Lin Dali in a coquettish voice, her little fingers gently tugging at the hem of his robe, tickling Lin Dali.

"She wouldn't be that petty. She probably just can't accept that I have another one by my side." At this moment, Lin Dali felt incredibly charming, and both of his aunts were starting to compete for his attention.

Hu Yuzhu suppressed her disgust and bit her lip in grievance, "Since Aunt Ma doesn't like me, how about I stay by Madam's side and serve her from now on, so I won't be an eyesore in front of her?"

Lin Dali was about to let go of the beautiful woman he had just gotten his hands on. His face immediately darkened. "Ma Mingli, are you going to sign this contract or not? If not, don't waste my precious time here. Take your family and get out of here right now."

Lin Dali's power to turn his back on her is greater than anything else. Widow Ma knows that her reputation in this area is already ruined. If Lin Dali doesn't want her, she will really have to be married off far away by her family. She will definitely end up as a country bumpkin, and she doesn't want to continue living that poor life.

With gritted teeth and a stomp of his foot, he pressed his handprint onto the contract.

Old Ma and the others didn't dare to say anything. It was Ma Lao Er who reminded them, "Mother, this contract of servitude requires payment for the servitude."

"Yes, yes, yes," Old Ma also came to her senses, "The indenture has been signed, but you haven't paid the indenture fee yet?"

Bai Suihe shook her head, feeling a pang of sympathy for the widow Ma. Born into such a family, even if she were to rise to the position of Mrs. Lin, her fate would likely be far from good.

This was her own family kicking Widow Ma while she was down. Fortunately, Widow Ma was wearing heavy makeup, but Bai Suihe still caught the change in her eyes.

“That’s easy to say,” Madam Lin immediately told the old woman next to her to take out 20 taels of silver. “It only costs five taels of silver to buy a maid. I think the master is quite fond of Widow Ma, so I’ll be generous and give her some. You can take the silver and go.”

Old Lady Ma felt the amount of silver was too little and refused to accept it.

"Could you give me a little more? I've raised this daughter of mine..."

The scene erupted in uproar. Madam Lin had already been incredibly generous; in their opinion, even taking a virgin as a concubine would cost ten taels of silver, and many would be willing. This was merely a widow, yet she demanded such a high price; the Ma family was truly insatiable.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Ma Mingli was also anxious. With so many people watching, did she have no shame?
Furthermore, she's already inferior to the madam since she entered the house. If she causes any more trouble, the master will definitely favor that little vixen by his side. How can that be allowed?

“It’s not that the family is in trouble. Your younger brother and his family are also getting married and they are counting on you to help them out.”

"Now that you're a concubine in the Lin family, and they're so wealthy, giving them a little more wouldn't be a problem."

"Mr. Lin, do you think what I said makes sense? Since you like my daughter so much, please give her more."

Lin Dali felt that this was not a big deal, but seeing Hu Wan'er sitting there, he still felt a little guilty. His wife was so generous in giving him two beautiful concubines. If he took advantage of her and she changed her mind and brought Yuzhu back to his side, he would be at a great loss. So he quickly said, "I will listen to my wife in all matters at home."

Hu Wan'er said, "If you still think it's not enough, then follow the rules."

Upon hearing this, Ma's sons behind her quickly reached out and grabbed her, warning her that they couldn't let the commotion continue, or they would lose their means of getting married.

And with so many people watching, we absolutely mustn't cause a scene.

"You've received the money, so you can leave now." Hu Wan'er once again urged the guests to leave, but Old Ma's mother caused trouble again.

"Well, we're practically in-laws now, so we should have a place at this banquet too."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire scene fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned to Lin Dali.

Lin Dali, unaware of the situation, thought it was no big deal and was about to agree when the Lin family elder behind him immediately grabbed him and sternly rebuked the Ma family, "What nonsense are you spouting? She's just a concubine's family member, what right do you have to talk about in-laws? Stewards, what are you doing? Get her out of here right now!"

The clan elders behind her echoed her sentiments. They hadn't helped either side before, but they thought that if Widow Ma really came to power in the future, she might remember the clan's kindness and help them out more.

But now that she's a lowly concubine, this is all she can do in her life. So they have to side with Hu Wan'er and can't let Lin Dali cause any more trouble.

Looking at the Lin family members who had greeted her with smiles before, Ma Mingli's heart sank even further. She knew that there was no hope left in this life. Now she just hoped that Lin Dali would remember their past relationship and protect her a little, so that the Madam wouldn't harm her.

Even though the Ma family members were unwilling, they still left reluctantly under the urging of the steward and servants.

"Serve tea to the master and madam," said the maidservant beside Madam Lin, who brought two cups of tea and stood in front of Hu Yuzhu.

After Lin Dali sat down, Hu Yuzhu immediately knelt on the cushion brought by the maid and respectfully held the tea above her head, saying, "Please have some tea, sir."

Lin Dali's hands trembled slightly with excitement. He quickly took the tea, sipped it, and said, "Great!"

"Please have some tea, Madam," she said, offering tea to Hu Wan'er with the same respectful manner.

Hu Wan'er glanced at her with a complicated expression. She wasn't sure if she had made the right move. She accepted the tea, and a maid behind her immediately placed a set of jewelry in front of her. Hu Wan'er said, "From now on, take good care of the master and this family." (End of Chapter)
