Chapter 106 Abacus
Xia Chen heard what the gatekeeper said and opened her eyes wide in shock. "Lord Yan, why are you so indulgent to Xia? Aren't you afraid that she will bring trouble to you in the future?"
The gatekeeper raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry about our husband's affairs. Let's go."
Several gatekeepers coaxed Xia Chen away.
Xia Chen came to file a complaint, but failed and was scolded instead. She was very angry and left with a depressed face.
The two gatekeepers smiled together as they watched her leave dejectedly.
One of them said, "Don't you see our husband's status? Why would he care about that?"
Another said, "She is the first person who dared to speak ill of Lady Xia in front of you, Mr. Lang. We were polite by not breaking her legs. How dare she show disrespect? Haha—"

Xia Chen returned home holding her breath.
Daughter Xia Chunfang came over and asked, "Mom, why are you so angry?"
Xia Chen gritted her teeth and said, "It's all because of Xia Xiaorou. That bitch actually beat your brother and broke his bones. Now your brother can't do anything but lie down and spend money on medicine. I was so angry that I went to Yanyuan to argue, but was scolded by the people in Yanyuan instead."
"What are you talking about, mother?" Xia Chunfang opened her eyes wide.
"It's okay to say that Xia Xiaorou committed murder and arson. Doesn't that mean that if you want to beat your brother, you can beat him? Don't you think it's infuriating?" Xia Chen stomped her feet in anger.
Xia Chunfang sighed, "But that's Yanyuan. What can I do if I'm angry? Blame it on Xia Xiaorou. She's so lucky. A remarried woman was chosen by the owner of Yanyuan."
Xia Chen looked at her young daughter, and her eyes gradually brightened.
"Chunfang, turn around and let me see you." Xia Chen took her daughter's hand and patted it.
"doing what?"
"I'll turn when you're told to, hurry up."
Xia Chunfang didn't know what Xia Chen was going to do, so she could only turn around and listen.
Xia Chen was overjoyed and held Xia Chunfang's shoulders, "Chunfang, you are my hope for the future."
Xia Chunfang didn't understand, "What did mother mean?"
"Chunfang, do you want to enter Yanyuan and be the mistress of the owner of Yanyuan?" Xia Chen said excitedly, holding Xia Chunfang's arm.
Xia Chunfang took a breath and said, "Mom, can I...can I do this?"
Judging from my daughter's expression, she is very hopeful.
Xia Chen nodded, "That Xia Xiaorou is two years older than you, and she's a second-married slut, but she's still favored by the owner of Yanyuan. You're a virgin, young, so why can't you be the woman of the owner of Yanyuan?"
As Xia Chunfang listened to Xia Chen's analysis, she became more and more excited.
"But mother, how can I get into Yanyuan? I'm afraid it's not easy to get in." Xia Chunfang was looking forward to it, but as she thought about it, she became disappointed.
Xia Chen narrowed her eyes and said, "I heard that Xia Xiaorou went to Yan Garden to sell bamboo shoots and medicinal herbs, and was favored by Mr. Yan. You should do the same and find an opportunity to make the owner of Yan Garden take a fancy to you."
"What if it doesn't work?" Xia Chunfang sighed.
"If it doesn't work, I will find another way. Anyway, I will let you enter Yan Garden. Once you enter Yan Garden and become Mr. Yan's wife, our whole family can live a rich life." Xia Chen said excitedly.
The mother and daughter imagined the future and discussed plans.
Xia Dequan walked into the room from outside and heard their discussion. He waved his hand and said, "Don't dream. It's impossible to succeed."
Xia Chen was so angry that she scolded him, "Although Chunfang is not your daughter, she has been your daughter for fourteen years. She doesn't remember her dead father at all, she only remembers you, and she has always regarded you as her real father. As a father, you don't think about your daughter, you don't arrange happiness for your daughter, and you even throw cold water on your daughter. Is there any father like you?"
After such a barrage of abuse, Xia Dequan was left at a loss as to how to respond.
He sighed and stood up, "I don't object to Chunfang entering Yanyuan, but don't provoke Xiaorou again."
Xia Chen narrowed her eyes and sneered, "Why, are you still feeling distressed? I have been married to you for a longer time than that Wei. You don't care about Chunfang, but why do you always think about the children of your dead ex-wife?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I help Xiaorou?" Xia Dequan hesitated.
"Hmph, it's best if you don't help. That bitch, now that she's rich, she doesn't show you any filial piety, why do you bother with her? Chunfang, on the other hand, often gets you wine, washes your clothes, and cooks for you. Chunfang is your daughter." Xia Chen rolled her eyes.
Xia Dequan couldn't argue with Xia Chenshi, so he had to shut up and let the mother and daughter make the arrangements.
Xia Chen asked for silver to buy rouge, powder and new clothes to dress up Xia Chunfang. Xia Dequan had no choice but to give the silver to them.
After getting dressed, we had to pick herbs and dig bamboo shoots to send to Yanyuan.
But Xia Chunfang had never suffered hardship, never dug bamboo shoots, and never went up the mountain to dig herbs.
Moreover, Xia Chen and her children had never done a day of farm work and had always been supported by Xia Dequan.
In the absence of bamboo shoots and medicinal herbs, Xia Chen asked Xia Dequan for money to buy bamboo shoots and new herbs, and asked Xia Chunfang to carry them to Yanyuan to sell.
Unexpectedly, when Xia Chunfang walked to the gate of Yanyuan with a heavy basket on her back, she was rejected by the gatekeeper, "We don't lack bamboo shoots and medicinal herbs in Yanyuan, go sell them somewhere else."
Xia Chunfang walked three or four miles carrying ten or twenty kilograms of weight, but was not even allowed to enter Yanyuan. She was so angry that she started crying.
But the gatekeeper didn't let her cry in front of Yanyuan.
Xia Chunfang had no choice but to go back carrying the heavy basket.
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. After walking into the village, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
When she reached a fork in the road, she wasn't paying attention and almost collided with a carriage.
"Are you blind? Where are you going?" she cursed angrily.
After cursing, he found that it was a large carriage with an extraordinary appearance, as if it was a guest who often went to Yanyuan.
Xia Chunfang was so scared that she shrank her neck and wanted to slip away quickly.
But the coachman didn't let her go, "You stinky girl, you dare to scold me?"
The driver shouted and whipped the horse.
Xia Chunfang was beaten so hard that she screamed, "I didn't mean to do that. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"Stop." The people in the carriage shouted loudly.
The driver put away the whip and asked, "Ms. Luo?"
Mrs. Luo looked at Yan Garden in front of her, and then looked at Xia Chunfang, "Aren't you Xia Xiaorou's family member? Have you been to Yan Garden just now?"
Xia Chunfang blinked and looked up at Madam Luo. "It's Madam Luo. Yes, I went to Yanyuan just now, but I was not allowed in."
Mrs. Luo smiled and said, "Do you want to go in now?"
Xia Chunfang was overjoyed, "Of course I want to, Madam Luo, to take me into Yanyuan. Chunfang kowtows to Madam Luo."
"Come into the car, I have something to tell you." Madam Luo lifted the curtain and pointed inside the car.
Xia Chunfang bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally climbed onto the carriage.
"I wonder what Madam Luo wants to tell me?" Xia Chunfang nodded at Madam Luo and asked stiffly.
"What are you doing in Yanyuan?" Madam Luo looked at Xia Chunfang.
"I..." Xia Chunfang pursed her lips, "I want to see Mr. Yan and talk about my sister."
Mrs. Luo looked at Xia Chunfang and was happy. How could she be talking about Xia Xiaorou? Did this little girl have other plans?
But she likes it very much.
