Forced into a substitute marriage? The concubine’s unparalleled medical skills amaze the world
Chapter 494 Selling one’s body to bury one’s father
The brocade was covered with a piece of gray silk cloth, and she carefully placed the brocade in the light.
Then the silk cloth was removed. It was the first time that Jiang Si saw such beautiful cloth.
The light is flowing and the air is full of fairy spirit.
In dark places, the luster of the cloth is dimmed a little, but it doesn’t feel bad. Instead, it adds a sense of low-key luxury.
Xu Yan stared at one side with her eyes wide open. Even though she had seen and owned it before, she still felt it was so beautiful when she saw it again that she couldn't take her eyes away.
"We want this leather cloth."
"Sister Jiang and brother said that we must pay for this."
After saying that, she shouted outside: "Brother!"
“Paid!”
Xu Ning strode in hurriedly. Jiang Si tried to refuse but had to accept it in the end.
After buying the cloth, Xu Ning took Jiang Si and Zhou Jingxuan to eat some special delicacies of Huai County.
When I was about to go back, there was a commotion ahead.
Xu Yan loved being in a lively place, so she ran over immediately and Jiang Si followed her.
In the middle of the crowd was a person kneeling on the ground in mourning clothes.
There was a wooden sign in front of her that read "Selling myself to bury my father."
The woman had a charming face. She knelt on the ground with red eyes and a stubborn face.
The quarrel just now was caused by several people fighting over the money for her to sell herself and bury her father.
She knelt on the ground without saying a word and did not offer any comfort.
One of them had a face full of flesh and a lewd look as he straightened his clothes and said, "My little beauty, those two people just now overestimated their own abilities and tried to compete with me."
"I have been taught a good lesson by this young master."
"I'll give you one hundred taels, and you can go back with me."
"My room is in need of someone as lovable as you."
As soon as the fat man finished speaking, an unhappy voice rang out: "Lin Zhao, you are such an ungrateful man."
"What are you doing!"
The man who originally had a wretched look on his face suddenly changed his expression, and his face was full of embarrassment: "Why is this fierce woman here?"
Xu Ning and Xu Yan knew this man. Xu Yan explained to Jiang Si in a low voice: "His name is Lin Zhao. His family is quite wealthy. He is a man who doesn't mind anything. His family arranged a wife for him a year ago."
"Lin Zhao's wife is extremely fierce. Everyone in Huai County knows that Lin Zhao is very afraid of his wife."
"Just wait and see, there will be something interesting to watch."
Sure enough, the next moment, a woman strode over with two sturdy mothers.
Lin Zhao suddenly looked bitter: "Madam, why are you here?"
Wang glanced at Lin Zhao and snorted coldly, "If I hadn't come today, my husband would have brought a younger sister home for me."
Lin Zhao quickly asked, "How is that possible?"
"Ma'am, you are joking."
"I just felt sorry for the girl and wanted to help her."
As soon as he finished speaking, he let out a scream. Everyone looked in the direction of his voice and saw that his ear was twisted in Wang's hand.
Lin Zhao tilted her head, her face twisted in pain.
He wanted to touch it but didn't dare to, so he could only keep saying, "Madam, it hurts, Madam, please be gentle, it hurts so much."
Wang said coldly: "How come I didn't know that my husband is such a kind person."
"I was wrong about this!"
Lin Zhao quickly said, "No, Madam is not mistaken."
"I won't buy it. I won't buy it."
"Please let me go, ma'am."
The people in Huai County had seen the same scene countless times, and at this moment, everyone had a smile on their faces.
Some people even said, "Madam Lin, Master Lin Zhao just praised this girl for being so pretty."
"He even fought with several other gentlemen for this girl."
Wang's brows knitted together, and Lin Zhao shuddered all over: "Madam, you can't listen to that evil-minded man."
"I only have my wife in my heart, and heaven and earth can bear witness to that."
"I was only joking."
"Let's go back now."
Wang hummed with satisfaction and then let go of Lin Zhao's ear: "Of course I believe in you, my husband."
"Let's go home."
Lin Zhao rubbed his ears carefully and said in a flattering manner: "Let's go back."
"Madam, you must be tired after walking such a long way. I will massage your shoulders when we get back."
Everyone has long been accustomed to the behavior of this couple.
After Lin Zhao and his wife left, someone else offered money.
A silver ingot was thrown on the ground: "Come back with me, Master."
"There are many ladies in the master's house, but none of them is as charming as you."
"Take the money and bury your father, then you can live happily with the master."
The woman looked up at the old man who was nearly fifty years old, and the sadness on her face became even more intense.
She moved her lips and was about to say something when she saw Zhou Jingxuan in the crowd.
Her eyes flashed, and then she crawled on her knees to Zhou Jingxuan's side. Everyone around her made way for her and stopped only when she was in front of Zhou Jingxuan.
Then he knocked his head hard on the ground and said, "Please help me, sir."
"I have studied for a few years. Even though I am selling myself to bury my father, I am not willing to give myself to anyone else."
"There is really no other way now. Please help me, sir."
Jiang Si and Xu Yan were watching this scene from the side. Xu Yan's face darkened and he immediately prepared to step forward and teach this shameless little bitch a lesson.
But Jiang Si grabbed him and asked, "What are you doing?"
Xu Yan said angrily: "Look at her shameless look. Didn't she sell herself to bury her father? Why is she provoking this?"
“Shouldn’t you just sell it for money?”
"She even shamelessly picked the best guy in the crowd, Brother Zhou."
"Don't think that everyone can't see her little thoughts."
"Sister Jiang, let me tell you, she just watched Big Brother last week!"
"I'll help you teach her a lesson!"
Jiang Si smiled and shook her head: "No need."
Zhou Jingxuan looked at her coldly and said, "I don't have any money."
The woman was stunned on the spot, her face turned pale. The man's attire showed that he was not a wealthy man.
He must have said this deliberately to reject her.
But she knew that today she had to find a way to survive for herself.
Otherwise, you have no choice but to follow these people with bad intentions.
The old man gave the money because he was attracted by Yue Niang's beauty.
But when he saw Yue Niang looking down on his money and running to beg that pretty boy for help, he suddenly felt humiliated.
His face darkened.
He took a step forward and grabbed Yue Niang’s hair: “You stinky bitch, aren’t you selling yourself to bury your father?”
"I've already given you money, and you still look down on me?"
"You want to hook up with a pretty boy!"
Yue Niang suddenly felt pain and her face looked extremely ugly. She did not beg for mercy from the old man, but instead looked at Zhou Jingxuan pitifully and asked for help.
"Master, please save me! Master, please save me!"
The old man became even angrier upon seeing this. He raised his hand and slapped her twice on the face: "You stinky bitch, you don't know how to be ashamed!"
