Wen Lancheng was a man of his word. After obtaining Pei Wanyue’s address, he went to the small courtyard the next day to deliver the concubinage document.
Ms. Lu knew that her daughter had always been elusive. No one knew what she was busy with.
Now that she had seen the document, she had a headache.
She was furious.
However, her daughter had actually signed it. After signing it, she would be taken away on a sedan chair three days later?!
“Are you out of your mind?! We have money. Even if it’s because of our bad reputation, you can still be a commoner’s wife. You actually become a concubine. You’re making a fool of yourself!” Ms. Lu was regretting every day, now, the remorse had reached its peak.
This unfilial daughter would rather give her good life away!
She was wrong, really wrong!
“Mother, do you think I’m willing to do that? It’s all because Xie Qiao blocked my path! Wen Lancheng wants to marry Xie Qiao, so even though he had already seen my body, he could only take me as his concubine. It was she who humiliated me over and over again!”
Ms. Lu slapped her. “You’re still so stubborn!”
After living a hard life, only then would she think of the time when she was comfortable.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was at fault in the past.
How did Xie Qiao wrong the mother and daughter?
It was the first time they met. Although she did not like to look at them and did not like to talk, she bowed respectfully and addressed her as “mother” even when she was the third wife!
It was she herself… who did not know what was good for her. She only spoiled her daughter and did not take Xie Niushan’s daughter seriously!
She had lost Xie Qiao’s things. She had repeatedly ignored Xie Qiao’s advice and even allowed her daughter to steal things later on…
“Yue’er, you’re my darling. I truly want the best for you! I don’t know what kind of temperament Wen Lancheng has, but you know Xie Qiao. She may look weak, but isn’t she a noble person? She doesn’t seem to be able to tolerate a husband having a concubine?!”
The reason why she felt this way was because Xie Qiao… really loved cleanliness.
She hardly used any of the things in the house that others had touched.
She would always have a handkerchief with her, and she had to wipe her hands from time to time. How would she allow her man to do that when she was so picky about ordinary things?
“Mother, you don’t have to care anymore!” As she spoke, Pei Wanyue threw a hundred taels of silver to her. “I won’t be able to care about you in the future. This silver is for your retirement. In the future, if you have any problems, don’t come to me.”
Ms. Lu felt even more pain than when she was beaten up.
She had already given all her silver to her daughter. Now, her daughter was giving her a hundred taels of silver?
Was she trying to send away a beggar?
Was she marrying her off?! Was she trying to cut all ties with her?!
However, Ms. Lu could not stop her at all. After Pei Wanyue said that, she ignored her and focused on preparing for her trip to the Wen Residence.
Her daughter did not care about her. Ms. Lu was filled with regret. She had no idea what she was thinking, but she went to the Xie Residence.
In the afternoon, Xie Qiao was giving a lecture to Fang Muxue and the others.
When the new steward saw Ms. Lu, it was as if he saw the enemy who robbed the house. He did not intend to let her in at all.
However, Ms. Lu would make a ruckus.
The steward was worried that she would make a big fuss and become an eyesore, so he informed Xie Qiao about it.
“You guys memorize this chapter first. I’ll be right back.” Xie Qiao smiled at Qin Liu and the others, looking very much like a teacher.
The few of them nodded obediently.
Xie Qiao’s lecture was much better!
When Xie Qiao was not around, they could only ask their family members to hire a teacher to teach them at home. However, the teachers’ lectures were more complicated, and Xie Qiao seemed to know more. Everything could be explained layer by layer, allowing them to understand it very thoroughly.
