Favoring Concubines and Destroying Wife: Reborn, I Married to a Rich Man and Destroyed His Whole Fam

"You don't have to sell yourself to me, we can sign a labor contract..."

Gu Zhao had no intention of taking their indentureship contract, and spoke of her plan.

When they heard that Lu's mother was hired as an embroidery teacher, with a salary of two taels of silver a month, food and accommodation provided, and that they could also bring Lu Yuan along, the three members of the Lu family were extremely surprised.

"Lu Chi, I know you are good at martial arts and you are very smart. If you want to go to the border to defend your country, I can send you there. But once you get there, everything depends on you..."

Lu Chi was shocked. He didn't expect that Miss Gu knew all these things about him.

"Your mother and sister are in the capital. I assure you that they will be safe..."

"Chi'er, kneel down in front of the young lady and promise her."

Mother Lu said excitedly.

She had even thought about dying and seeing her husband, so as not to burden her children anymore. But she couldn't bear to leave her children behind, and was also afraid that after she died, her children would live even worse than they were now. She was afraid that if she died like this, she would not be able to face her husband and parents-in-law in the underworld.

Lu Chi fell to his knees in front of Lu Zhao.

"Miss, Lu Chi promises you. Lu Chi will only listen to you in this life..."

"Get up quickly."

Gu Zhao knew that Lu Chi's father, Lu Yan, was once a famous general at the border. He died in a battle more than a decade ago. Lu Yuan was a posthumous child, and after Lu Yan's death, the Lu family took over the Lu family's property and drove Lu's mother and three others out of the Lu family...

"Thank you, I'll leave this matter to you. Arrange for them to move now... Hong'er, you also go to the house over there and arrange for a maid to take care of Aunt Lu..."

"The slaves obey."

When Lu's mother heard that they were going to arrange for a maid to take care of her, she refused repeatedly.

"Miss, I don't need a maid to take care of me..."

"Your health will recover quickly, so you can go and teach those embroiderers how to do things earlier."

Gu Zhao spoke to them for a few more words and then took the carriage back to Minister Gu’s residence.

Mother Lu looked at her children in the room, her eyes filled with uncontrollable excitement.

"Chi'er, Yuan'er, is mother dreaming?"

In her hand, she held an agreement drafted by Gu Zhao, inviting her to be a master in an embroidery workshop for ten years, and he paid her one year's fee in advance.

That’s twenty-four taels of silver a year.

She also said that her monthly salary would be increased in the future, and that she would split the price of her embroidery with the eldest daughter in half.

Twenty-four taels of silver was nothing to her before, but now, twenty-four taels of silver was enough for her and her two children to survive.

As long as she is in good health, the twenty-four taels of silver can be turned into several hundred taels of silver.

"Mother, it's true. This Miss Gu is the granddaughter of the Xie family and a good person." When they were driven out, Old Madam Xie also helped them. Otherwise, they would not have been able to come to the capital alive.

Originally they wanted to come to live with their relatives, but their relatives in the capital had gone to the border. And their mother's health was not good, so they had been living here all these years.

"Chi'er, you must take care of yourself and your life when you go to the border. Mother and sister are waiting for your safe return..."

Mother Lu knew that what her son wanted most was to go to the border to defend his country like his father. If she hadn't been a burden to her son due to her weak health, he would have gone to the border by now.

"Mom, don't worry. I will definitely fight for a way out. I will make you and Yuan'er live a good life and take back everything that belongs to us."
