Concubine You Can't: The Evil Emperor Dotes on Qingcheng Concubine

Chapter 16 The Father Who Sells His Daughter
Hearing this, Xuetong said loudly: "How can it be okay! If you are engaged to the Huo family, the four of us will go to the Huo family with you as a dowry. If you are beaten to death by the young master of the Huo family, for the sake of To avoid spreading family ugliness, how can we servants be spared? You must know that when Princess Zhao passed away, her dowry maids were all buried together."

"So you stole my things in order to make a fortune before you die?"

Ji Zhuyu's words caught Xuetong's purpose. Although she was ashamed, she still straightened her neck and said: "That's right, you will die sooner or later anyway, it's useless for you to keep these things, why don't you give them to me..."

Before Xuetong finished speaking, Zhao's mother fell to the ground with a thump and interrupted her: "Miss, please don't punish Xuetong, her father left early, and there are mother and two young children at home The youngest brother needs to be supported. Although the Ji Mansion does not have a lot of money in January, it can barely survive on weekdays with the rewards from the masters. In the future, I will marry into the Huo family with the eldest lady. What about the orphans and widows at home? She has no other choice, so she did such a lowly thing as stealing, Miss, please show kindness and let her go this time."

Ji Zhuyu looked at the two kneeling in front of him and said, "You two seem to have a good relationship?"

Missy's words seemed to point to something, Xuetong was worried that Ji Zhuyu would misunderstand Zhao's mother and herself as an accomplice, so she said eagerly: "Miss, I did the stealing by myself, it has nothing to do with other people, let alone Zhao's mother, what do you want?" Punish me alone, anyway, when I did this, I had already prepared for the worst, I admit whether it is good or bad, please punish me, miss."

Seeing the two of them arguing about where they are, Ji Zhuyu smiled helplessly and said, "Stop arguing, I have my own conclusions about what is right and what is wrong, and I don't need you to make a decision for me."

Seeing that the eldest lady seemed to be really angry, Xuetong and Mother Zhao didn't dare to do it again, and obediently shut up.

"You two, don't stand at the door, come in first."

Ji Zhuyu sat casually on the chair, watched the two get up and entered the room, and said: "This time, I can take Xue Tong lightly, on the condition that you answer the questions I ask truthfully."

The two were immediately overjoyed, but looked at each other with some hesitation, and finally nodded.They have already told the biggest secret, and there is nothing more to say.

Ji Zhuyu smiled in satisfaction, and asked the first question: "My father really intends to marry me to the Huo family."

Xue Tong nodded, "Yes, I heard that Geng Tie has already been exchanged, and I'm about to give a dowry. Otherwise, the master wouldn't be in such a hurry to find you back suddenly, and treat you dozens of times better than before."

"In that case, why didn't anyone in the mansion tell me about it?"

Xuetong replied: "Because of the notoriety of the young master of the Huo family, all the girls in Jinzhou City don't want to marry into it. The master is afraid that you will resist to the death after knowing this marriage, so he banned us and is not allowed to tell you."

Ji Zhuyu secretly despised Ji Mingde's character, in order to curry favor with dignitaries, he would even disregard his own daughter's life, this person's heart is really dark.

"Then is the Huo family really so unbearable?" Ji Zhuyu asked suspiciously.

This is what she cares about the most. No matter what era, marriage is the most important thing in a woman's life. If the other party is not a good man, she will not agree to this marriage no matter what.

Zhao's mother said: "It's not nice to let the servants say something. Old General Huo is a hero who founded the country, and the Huo family is also a prominent family. It is futile for many people in Jinzhou City to establish a relationship with their family. Now there are people who are married to the young master of the Huo family. Such a great thing, why didn't the master marry the second or fourth miss, but you, the eldest lady who was not favored since childhood. Moreover, the young master of the Huo family is indeed a man who likes to beat women. You will suffer, Princess Zhao is a lesson from the past!"

Mother Zhao carefully observed the face of the eldest lady, worried that she would suddenly get angry, after all, no one would be happy to hear that his own father persecuted his own daughter in this way.

Ji Zhuyu was indeed unhappy, although she was not the real Ji Zhuyu.

However, what Ji Mingde did really annoyed her. In order to curry favor with the dignitaries of the court, he pushed his daughter into the pit of fire. He was really worse than a beast, after all, the poison of a tiger would not eat its children.

Now she is no longer the original Ji Zhuyu, her marriage must not be sold as a commodity, she must find a way to call off the marriage, and teach Ji Mingde an unforgettable lesson, let him know that the end of selling his daughter is miserable .

Thinking of this, Ji Zhuyu ordered: "Xuetong, go and call Yingyue and Hongyu over, and tell me that I have something to announce."

Xuetong was a little confused, so, weren't they discussing how to punish her just now?Why did you call them over all of a sudden?

But right now Xuetong was very afraid of Ji Zhuyu, she didn't dare to ask any questions, so she had to leave the room silently and called for someone to go.

About the time for a cup of tea, Xuetong called someone in.

Yingyue and Hongyu are the maidservants of the Huanxi Courtyard, and they have never seen Ji Zhuyu so close since they came to the Huanxi Courtyard. They were suddenly summoned at this time, and they were unavoidably a little nervous. They kept their heads down, not daring to make a fuss. .

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Ji Zhuyu said: "You four were personally selected by Director Ji and sent to my yard. I think you must be very clear about my marriage."

Ji Zhuyu paused, secretly looking at the expressions of the four of them.

Because Xuetong and Zhao's mother had explained this clearly to her before, their expressions were relatively relaxed.

But Yingyue and Hongyu were particularly shocked, they didn't expect that the eldest lady already knew about this marriage.If Manager Ji finds out about this, they will definitely be punished.

"I know your difficulties, so you don't need to panic, I will pretend that I don't know anything, and I won't tell Director Ji."

The surprise came so suddenly, the four of them couldn't believe it and looked at the calm master above.

Ji Zhuyu smiled in satisfaction, and changed the topic: "The premise is that you must promise me one condition."

The four looked disappointed, there really is no free lunch in the world, but they are just humble servants, what can they do to help the eldest lady?
Xuetong expressed the feelings of the four of them: "Miss, the servants are soft-spoken, what can I do for you?"

Ji Zhuyu chuckled: "What role you have is up to me. Today I want you to swear allegiance to me forever and never betray you, otherwise you will die without a place to die."

Without waiting for their reaction to this matter, Ji Zhuyu went on to say: "Now that you are arranged to enter my Huanxi courtyard, if my marriage with the Huo family is settled like this, you will also enter the Huo family with me. And Huo What is home, I think you know better than me. In order to save your little lives, there is only one way before you right now, which is to swear allegiance to me, and then let me handle and return this marriage, so your little ones How about saving your life?"
