Chapter 111: Marquis's Wife 6
When An Changle learned that her maid had betrayed her, she was so angry that she could hardly hold on to the smile on her face. She only had a few servants around her and she simply could not keep them all. Now one more was missing, so she was naturally unwilling to accept it. Not to mention that Yingge was just a maid by her side. How dare she climb onto her husband's bed? Did she think she was a dead person?
After Yingge became the son-in-law's woman, she came to pay her respects to An Changle in a charming manner. Every word she said stimulated An Changle, hoping that he would accept her.
"Miss, my brother-in-law always needs someone to serve him. Rather than letting others take advantage of him, let me serve him for you. At least you and I are of the same mind." Yingge raised her chin slightly when she said this, completely unaware that An Changle's face was becoming increasingly gloomy.
"You don't have a family to rely on and you don't have a rich dowry. If your son-in-law doesn't have anyone like you around him, then you won't even have anyone to speak for you in the future."
An Changle tightly grasped the handkerchief and stared at Yingge with a sinister look on her face, "You can only take what this lady gives you. If this lady doesn't give it to you, you can never touch it in your life.
Don't you like to serve men? Madam Xingben will satisfy your wish. Come on, sell her to a brothel and let her be ridden and tasted by thousands of men in her lifetime."
Yingge's eyes widened. She had never expected that the master she had served since she was a child would be so cruel. That was a brothel. Although the mistress was angry at first, she at least did not take their lives and allowed them to marry freely. But the young lady...
An Changle looked at the servants around him who didn't move, and slapped the chair, "Do you also want to be sold to a dirty place?"
After hearing this, the servants shrank their heads in fear and dragged Yingge away. Yingge originally wanted her son-in-law to save her, but unfortunately the third place winner had already gone to court, and no one cared about her life or death.
The other maidservant was timid and did not dare to betray her master. She was even frightened by the incident.
"Miss, if we sell Yingge out like this, what should we do when our brother-in-law comes back?" The maidservant originally intended to plead for her good sister, but she never expected that she would be the one who suffered in the end.
An Changle lifted up the face of the maid next to him and looked at her carefully. "You have a good-looking face. If you are looking for someone to serve you, then you should be the one. At least you are honest. But you must not betray me, otherwise I don't mind sending you to accompany Yingge."
The little maidservant was so frightened that she couldn't even speak. She did have the idea of climbing up the social ladder, but the young lady was completely crazy now. If she became the son-in-law at this time, wouldn't it be equivalent to offending the young lady?
After Tanhualang came back, he thought back to the maid he favored last night and felt that An Changle was not completely useless. At least the maid serving her was pretty.
However, when the maid in Dezhou disappeared, his face turned ugly. He thought that An Changle was jealous. But before he could question her, An Changle pushed out another maid.
Although this maidservant was not as charming as the previous one, she was elegant and refined, especially her timid look, like a lily swaying in the wind.
Tanhualang also liked this kind of dodder. As for the maid before, Tanhualang simply forgot about her. Anyway, they were all people around An Changle. She didn't want to care about what happened to the other party, as long as it didn't interfere with her enjoyment.
What An Changle didn't expect was that he could get several hundred taels of silver by selling a maid, which was comparable to the silver in his own bottom drawer.
"The maid in the brothel said that if Yingge was a virgin, she might be sold for a higher price." The servant lowered his head when he said this.
An Changle curled his lips and sneered, then took out a silver note, indicating that this was their hard-earned money. Sure enough, after the people below received the money, the gloom on their faces instantly disappeared.
After sending these servants away, An Changle felt even colder all over. She lay on the chair with tears streaming down her face. These were all people who had served her since childhood. If Yingge hadn't come to show off in front of her, she would not have sold her directly to a brothel.
For the first time, An Changle understood what a long night and endless loneliness meant. She thought that being able to marry the person she loved would be the happiest thing in her life, but it turned out to be a joke in the end.
Su Tong didn't know about this matter, but the housekeeper of the mansion came to report that someone saw a maid in the mansion in a dirty place.
"The maid's name is Yingge. She served Miss Changle before and was later given to her. As for why she appeared in the brothel... I heard from the madam there that she offended the lady of the mansion..."
The housekeeper lowered her head and said, "Yingge's parents also knew about this. They sold everything they could and tried every possible way to redeem Yingge."
Su Tong's face looked a little ugly. "This is the Marquis' Mansion, not some charity hall. Don't bring anything dirty and smelly into the house. Since she has been given to someone else, she has nothing to do with the Marquis' Mansion. Even if she has been redeemed by her parents, don't let her bring her into the Marquis' Mansion, so as to avoid bringing back any dirty things."
Su Tong didn't want to get involved in these messy things. Besides, neither the master nor the servant was a good person. He had already severed ties with them, so he didn't want to have anything to do with them in this life.
The housekeeper understood what the lady meant and sighed in her heart. Yingge's parents originally wanted her to listen to Yingge's plea and find a way to keep Yingge in the Marquis' Mansion. Even if she never got married in this life, at least she could have a full meal.
But it's a pity that this is a marquis's mansion, and it is impossible to tolerate a woman passing through a brothel. If this matter were to spread out, the face of the entire marquis's mansion would be completely lost, and even the reputation of the unmarried girls might be damaged.
Yingge's parents, no matter how reluctant they were to let their daughter go, eventually sent her away and entrusted her to a relative, and finally found an honest and simple man.
Yingge originally had great ambitions, but after being sent to the brothel, she was completely scared and dared not do anything to climb up the social ladder. She just honestly found someone to marry. Although she could not say that she had no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life, at least she lived a stable life. Her descendants were even related to An Changle's descendants.
Su Tong has been so happy lately that he can't stop smiling, because his daughter-in-law has brought good news, which means that their mansion has a new baby. In order to let his daughter-in-law have a safe and stable pregnancy, Su Tong took over all the affairs in the mansion. He was afraid that his daughter-in-law would think too much, and even said that he would transfer the power of housekeeper to his daughter-in-law after the birth, and he absolutely did not covet power.
The daughter-in-law is not a fool. She knows very well whether her mother-in-law treats her well or not. She got the power of housekeeper just after getting married. Even after she became pregnant, her mother-in-law did not add anyone to her husband's room.
Although there were several elderly people in the husband's room, he never gave them any status and always let them take contraceptive pills, giving them the respect they deserved.
The daughter-in-law felt lucky more than once for marrying into the marquis's mansion, meeting a caring husband and a mother-in-law who treated her like her own daughter. Others were worried after getting pregnant, but she lived comfortably as if she were at her parents' home.
