After burning a stick of incense, Zhuer left the Hou Mansion and headed back to Liangshui Lane with her body deed and ten taels of silver in her arms.

In the room, Xian Yue poured a cup of tea for his young lady and spoke in confusion.

"Miss, when Zhu'er first came here, she even described the Zhou family as being like a dragon in a tiger's den, but she didn't expect that she would agree to go back so easily."

Chu Huanyan picked up the tea cup and took a slow sip of tea.

"For Pearl, there is a huge difference between now and just now."

Before, she was a prostitute who signed a death contract, earning only one tael of silver a month. Not to mention the exhausting work in the Zhou family, even if Chu Wanyan was unhappy and beat her to death, the government would investigate her. Nothing big will happen.

But it's different now.

She was already free, and she still had the promised reward of ten taels of silver per month. She just asked her to go back and pay attention to the situation of the Zhou family, and be a repayment. It's up to her to work as she pleases, and she's naturally happy with this kind of good thing.

Moreover, even if it is really unpleasant to stay in Zhou's house after going back, he can just leave and get the ten taels of silver he just gave, which is not a loss no matter what.

Of course, it is not a good thing that Zhu'er has been following Chu Wanyan for so long and has been influenced by what he hears and sees.

After Xianyue was sold in her previous life, she went to beg Chu Wanyan to tell her her whereabouts. She followed Chu Wanyan, but she was often sarcastic to her.

Looking at her appearance just now, she was filled with hatred in her heart. After returning this time, Chu Wanyan would probably have to change her face.

After listening to Chu Huanyan's words, Xian Yue also understood. After nodding, he thought about what Pearl just said, and then said:

"Miss, I didn't expect that the Zhou family would change their attitude so quickly. It seems that they feel that there is really nothing to gain from the third lady."

Chu Huanyan put down the tea cup in her hand, her eyes reflecting the yellowish candlelight color, adding a bit of flickering darkness to her smile.

In fact, the Zhou family may not have given up their plan to benefit from Chu Wanyan so quickly.

The only thing to blame is that Chu Wanyan is too stupid, and it is too obvious that she is dead-set.

It's like a maid whose body contract has been manipulated. Since she is firmly in her hands, why should she give her a good look?

As for what happened today, I think it was just the beginning...

……

Probably because she had just received the contract and received the money, Zhuer was particularly diligent in reporting news to the Marquis Mansion in the next few days.

Xianyue told her not to let anyone find out, but she said that she only came out in the name of buying groceries and was very careful.

Of course, after every time she returned a letter, she would have a good time walking around outside, eating and drinking. Finally, after dinner, she would carry a few radishes or a few green vegetables back to Zhou. Home.

On the first day, when Chu Wanyan and Zhou's mother saw her coming home late, they already cursed her. Zhou's mother even took a laundry mallet and wanted to beat her.

As a result, Zhu'er directly took out the deed and said that she was no longer a slave of the Hou Mansion and that she stayed here purely out of love. If they dared to take action, she would leave immediately.

Zhou's mother had just lived a life of servants, and she boasted to the neighbors. If they ran away now, they would simply step on her face and rub her face on the ground. She could only throw the mallet angrily and twist It's useless to go over and scold Chu Wanyan, even a slave can't stand it.

Chu Wanyan was even more angry than Zhou's mother and asked Zhuer what trick she had used to get the body deed. She even rushed to the Hou Mansion and questioned Chu Huanyan.

In response to this, Chu Huanyan only said a few words casually, and then pretended to be angry and asked about the injuries on Chu Wanyan's face, saying that if she had been wronged, there was no harm in making peace.

Even if Chu Wanyan was willing to reconcile, she didn't care to ask about Zhu'er anymore, and hurried back to Zhou's house.

But this time, what was waiting for her when she returned was a pile of dirty clothes.

Chu Wanyan's days were falling from the sky to the earth. When Zhou's mother scolded her and she had no choice but to start working, Lin Zeyuan, who had not been seen for several days, appeared in the Hou Mansion again.

This time, he also brought Chu Huanyan a gold hairpin set with emerald stones.

"Yan'er, I have been copying calligraphy and writing for others these days. I also sold some calligraphy and paintings to get money to buy this hairpin."

Lin Zeyuan placed the hairpin separated by a handkerchief on the table beside Chu Huanyan.

"What happened before was my fault. I caused a misunderstanding and made you sad. This hairpin is to be used as an apology for you. Don't be angry with me again, okay?"

Lin Zeyuan's eyes were gentle, and his tone was full of sincerity, just like a handsome man who tried every means to comfort and please his lover because he was losing his temper.

But at this moment, Chu Huanyan stared at the hairpin intently, but felt chills all over her body.

The hatred that had been gradually hidden since his rebirth almost surged up again.

She really wanted to kill Lin Zeyuan immediately!

"Yan'er, what's wrong with you? Don't you like it?" Lin Zeyuan said Chu Huanyan hesitated and said, "I don't know what style my daughter's family likes. Maybe the one I bought is not to your liking, but this is I have been choosing for a long time, Yan'er, please take this hairpin and let go of your anger for the sake of our past friendship, okay?"

Chu Huanyan blinked her eyes to restrain the anger boiling inside.

No, it would be too cheap for him to die like this!

He lingered on the sick bed and was deceived. Later, his reputation was ruined, he was ridiculed and humiliated, and he suffered a lot.

Whether it was Lin Zeyuan, Chu Ziyuan, or Chu Wanyan, if they were just allowed to die like this, it would be too easy for them!

Chu Huanyan took a deep breath, and when she raised her eyes again, her eyes finally returned to calm.

"Where did you get this hairpin?"

At this moment, Lin Zeyuan's voice and the condescending and sarcastic tone in his memory sounded almost simultaneously.

"Yan'er, of course I bought this, especially for you."

"Do you still remember the hairpin I gave you? I didn't buy it at all, but it was ripped off the head of a prostitute who died of illness."

"For this hairpin, I went to many jewelry stores and selected it for several days. I couldn't even think about studying these days."

"A low-level prostitute contracted a disease, and was eventually played to death by her clients. They said she was infected with the plague, and no one dared to touch the hairpin on her head. In fact, she had an internal disease. Yiyi and I specially paid to hire someone I went to the mass grave and specifically pulled out the hairpin from the corpse."

"Yan'er, just for the sake of my sincerity, don't worry about the past anymore. In my heart, you are the noble legitimate daughter of the Marquis, and you are unique. How could I do it for her? And betray you."

"Chu Huanyan, what I hate the most is your reserved and noble appearance. If it weren't for the purpose of bringing you bad luck, why would we bother so much. The dignified daughter of the Marquis Mansion is wearing the hairpin of a prostitute who died of a heart disease. Swaggering through the city, hahahahahaha, how do you feel now..."
