Early on the next morning, Bai Qingyan had just finished his breakfast when he heard a little girl outside reporting that the family members of Bai Jinxiu's five dowry girls were kneeling at the door of the house, crying and begging Bai Jinxiu to tell Bai Jinxiu's husband's wife, Mrs. Zhongyong Hou, that
Where did their daughter go after being sold?
They heard that Miss Bai Er kindly allowed Mingyu's family to redeem the betrayed item, and they thought that even if their daughter was still loyal and had to be sold if she didn't serve well, it would be better to sell it to their own family.
Most poor families are unwilling to send their daughters to brothels, and out of helplessness they send their daughters to rich families as slave girls, just to ensure that their children can have a mouthful of food and not starve to death.
The Duke of Zhenguo has been a loyal and benevolent family for generations. It is a blessing that their daughter can stay with Miss Bai Er. However, if they are sold again, they are really afraid that their daughter will end up like Mingyu and be sold into a brothel to survive.
You can't die.
She covered her lips with a handkerchief and spit out the mouthwash into the spittoon before speaking: "Chuntao, go to the second girl to get the deeds of the five girls, give them to Butler Hao, and ask him to send a sharp-tongued steward to take over the deeds."
The deed was returned to the parents of the five girls, and they said that the second girl in our house had been unconscious since she fell into the water, and they didn't know where the five girls were sold. Now the Duke's Mansion is also sending people to find out who dares to bite.
If you can't find five dowry girls for taking people away and selling them without showing their identity, I will be the first to report to the official of our country to ask for justice."
"Yes!" Chuntao responded and left the upper room, trotting quickly towards Bai Jinxiu's Qingzhu Pavilion.
After receiving the order, Steward Hao immediately sent Steward Liu, who was in charge of purchasing, to the door with the deed.
Before Steward Liu left, Steward Hao twirled his beard and thought for a moment and said: "Early this morning, I received the order from the Crown Prince's wife and sent people to inquire about the whereabouts of the girls in the city who were married to the second girl Yazi. The Crown Prince did not ask Marquis Zhongyong.
Instead, Madam asked our family to investigate by ourselves, and our uncle has also asked for the throne! In this situation, our family will definitely break up with the Zhongyong Marquis, so for a while... you don't have to worry about the Marquis being your in-laws.
, just explain the grievances of the second girl clearly!"
"Don't worry, Steward Hao!" Steward Liu felt like Ming Jing'er.
As soon as Manager Liu of the Duke's Mansion went out, he saw that in addition to the five mothers and fathers of the girls who were dowed, there were also a crowd of ordinary people watching at the door of the Duke's Mansion. He immediately asked his servants to bring the fathers of the girls who were dowed.
My mother helped me up.
Manager Liu's eyes were red and he said: "Everyone... I'm so sorry! The second girl of our family suffered a big disaster. She was knocked unconscious and pushed into the lake. After being carried back to the house with her life or death unknown, several imperial doctors tried their best to save her.
The second girl was taken back from the hands of the Lord of Hell! The second girl woke up and learned that the girl who had been with her since she was a child had been betrayed by her mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhongyonghou. She cried and fainted again! When she woke up again, she didn't believe it, saying that this girl was the dowry girl.
The body deed is still in the hands of our second girl, which family would dare to take someone away without seeing the body deed! So... early this morning, our crown prince's wife has sent people to ask those people in Dadu City.
That’s it.”
With that said, Manager Liu took out the deeds of the five girls from his chest and asked their parents to come forward and claim them.
After issuing the status deed, Manager Liu said: "Our second girl ordered me to return the status deeds of the girls who were married to you. When your daughters are found, if they are still willing to stay with you, the second girl will give them to you."
As a family member, we love our children and will not treat them unfairly. If the second girl is not willing, she will be sent back to your home. When she gets married, our second girl will give you a generous dowry to express the relationship between master and servant. We, the eldest girl, are grateful to you all.
My daughter was sold to protect our two girls. We have sent people to Li Zheng to help your girls eliminate their slave status. When your girls come back, they will be decent citizens."
"Big girl, the second girl is so kind and kind!"
The mothers-in-law of several maids quickly kowtowed and thanked them.
"But... I'm afraid I can't find my poor daughter!"
Manager Liu handed over his hand: "Don't worry, everyone, these dowry girls are all from the Duke's Mansion. If they can't be found in our Duke's Mansion, they will definitely report to the official!"
The people who were watching immediately praised the Bai family for their high righteousness.
"Look at the Duke's mansion. He is so loyal to the people and so loyal to his slaves! Five dowry girls were sold because of the second girl. Not only did they want to get them back, but they also wiped out the five girls.
Slave status, this is really a great kindness."
"It's too bad for the second girl from the Bai family to have such a bad relationship with her husband's family!"
"Mrs. Zhongyonghou is really a very good character. That maid is the dowry of my daughter-in-law's legs. She dares to sell it without even getting the body deed. Bah! Shameless!"
"What do you know! There must be something inside of this!" A spectator said, pretending to be serious, with his hands folded, "Just think about it, the Duke of Guo's Mansion fought hard with the Marquis Zhongyong to bring back the half-dead second girl.
Next, the second girl’s dowry girl, Mingyu, was found from the village where Madam Zhongyonghou married her. Among the six dowry girls...she was the only one who was not betrayed by Madam Zhongyonghou! Don’t you understand the trick?!"
"That's right, and then there is Prince Qin who pleads guilty and asks for the throne! Tsk, tsk, tsk... This meritorious family is in such deep water!"
"It is said that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. This is true! It's not easy for the Prince of Qin! The girls in the Zhenguo Palace would rather bend than bend. I am afraid that Mrs. Zhongyonghou was afraid that she would not be able to handle it, so she borrowed two daughters.
The reason is, I want to..." Someone made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"I'm afraid even the Zhenguo Duke's office is completely confused as to what this matter is about. Only the five girls who were sold and Mrs. Zhongyonghou herself know!"
"Those five girls have probably lost their lives! Think about it, the body deed is still in the hands of the second girl of the Bai family! Selling it... Who dares to take it away? I am afraid that only Mrs. Zhongyong Hou herself knows the dirty nature of it.
"
"And the dowry girl before Miss Bai must also know the inside story... She is the Mingyu whose legs were broken by her brother and sold into a brothel. Unfortunately, she has gone crazy. She is so crazy that she can't ask anything. She can only be stupid.
He smiled and said that Mrs. Zhongyong Hou promised her to be the concubine of the Qin Crown Prince."
"You know so clearly, have you ever slept in that brothel?"
The onlookers burst into laughter. The sharp-eyed people saw the carriages and horses of Marquis Zhongyong from afar, and hurriedly shouted: "Isn't that the carriage of Marquis Zhongyong?!"
"Oh, the Zhongyong Hou Mansion actually has the nerve to come to the Duke's Mansion!"
"Shhhhhhh! I don't want my life! What kind of family is Zhongyong Houfu? Just talk about it behind my back. If people hear it, if I get the grudge, I won't know where to cry if my life is gone! It's better to stay here."
Mouth!"
As the carriage and horses of Marquis Zhongyong's Mansion stopped in front of the gate of Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, the people watching the excitement kept silent and looked at Madam Zhongyong Marquis who got off the carriage with disdainful eyes.
