Ling Shuang sat aside quietly, her clear eyes secretly looking at the person in front of her.
"Mr. Jiang, what a coincidence!"
"Um."
Jiang Qingping responded calmly.
Ling Shuang smiled awkwardly, "It seems that the two of us are really destined. Mr. Jiang is really just like the legend, handsome, cheerful, and extraordinary. I..."
Without saying a word, the person in front of him placed the tea cup heavily on the table and stood up immediately.
"Miss Su has gone too long. I'm afraid something might have happened. I'll go take a look."
Lifting her feet to leave, Ling Shuang bit her silver teeth into pieces, and the handkerchief in her hand was clenched and wrinkled.
The moment the cool scent of sandalwood wafted by, Ling Shuang suddenly raised her hand and tightly grasped the wide sleeves.
"Mr. Jiang, you don't have to look for her. Miss Su was taken away by me."
Her face became paler and paler, and a little cold sweat gradually broke out on her body. Just saying the above words was killing her.
"I don't want to hide it from you either. Mr. Jiang, it was my father who bet money to sell me to a big-bodied ruffian. I really have no choice. I hope Brother Jiang can help me because of our previous friendship."
, I know this is an unreasonable request of mine, Shuang'er doesn't dare to ask for too much, I just hope that the master can give me a way to survive, even if it is to be a concubine!"
Ling Shuang said so confidently that two drops of tears fell from her eyes.
Life experience has been full of ups and downs. I never expected that such a beautiful woman would have such a rough life experience.
"Does your father owe someone money?" Jiang Qingping finally couldn't bear it and turned around.
Seeing that there was hope, Ling Shuang's eyes lit up.
"Yes, my father owed me a lot of money, so he wanted to sell me."
Jiang Qingping took a deep breath and shook his sleeves, "How much silver is the difference?"
"Three hundred taels of silver."
Ling Shuang's heart was already in her throat, and her eyes were full of hope.
"Miss Lingshuang, you don't have to worry. I will settle this matter for you and won't let your father sell you."
I don’t know where Miss Su went. I’m not familiar with this place, so I’m sure she won’t be in any danger?
The more I thought about it, the more worried I became, and my brows knitted together tightly.
"No, Brother Jiang!"
Expecting Jiang Qingping to say this, Ling Shuang yelled out in a hurry.
"No, my father is a gambler. This time the hole is blocked to stop people who come to ask for debts. There will be others next time. I will never be able to escape from that nightmare. Can Brother Jiang buy me out?
, I am willing to be a concubine, oh, no, not to be a concubine, I am willing to be a slave for the rest of my life, waiting for you."
The situation was serious and she was in a desperate situation. She could not think of any other way.
After thinking for a long time, Jiang Qingping nodded and agreed.
Su Xiao ordered a small pot of sake downstairs, drank it carefully, and looked upstairs from time to time.
"I don't know how things are going. Don't make any more trouble."
"Miss Su!"
After a while, two people came down one after another from upstairs. Ling Shuang followed behind him obediently. Su Xiao's eyes wandered back and forth on the two of them. This situation seemed to have come to pass.
"Uh, what, we are all friends, stop standing around, sit down and have something to eat."
Everyone looked at the dry bottle of sake on the table and frowned.
"Ah, hahaha, it's okay, it's okay, I'm used to being alone, so this is called food!"
"Xiaoer, you..."
"Miss Su, no need, I have something to do now, so I won't accompany you now."
After saying this, Jiang Qingping left in a hurry as if there was wind at his feet.
"Oh my God, why are you so anxious? Could it be that you are going back to prepare the wedding gift?!" Then, he is really not stupid.
Her sleeves were pulled hard several times, and Ling Shuang hid behind Su Xiao with a blushing face.
"Sister Su, don't say that. Brother Jiang just went back to do his own business. Besides, I'm just a concubine. I don't need a betrothal gift, and I can't be on the stage."
What? Concubine?! This Jiang Qingping really took Jiang Lingshuang as his concubine!
An old blood clot lodged in Su Xiao's throat, causing unbearable pain!
But it's normal. After all, in ancient times, the most important thing was to be well-matched, and Ling Shuang was not at a loss for being the leader of the Jiang family!
"Hey, don't think so. Mr. Jiang is a humble and harmonious person, so he won't treat you too badly. Besides, you are so beautiful, how can he bear to destroy the flower with his cruel hands!"
Even when she looked at the shuiding face, she wanted to pinch it.
Jiang's house, the main entrance atrium.
A tea cup suddenly smashed out, and Mr. Jiang's furious voice came to meet him.
"You rebellious son? What did you say? You want to take a concubine? I worked so hard to send you to the academy to study books, just to let you go to Fireworks and Willow Lane to find happiness?"
In the hall, Jiang Qingping's tall and thin body stood there, but his back was extremely straight and straight, never retreating at all.
"Dad, I want to marry Ling Shuang."
Another tea cup was smashed hard, and the boiling water and the broken pieces splashed at Jiang Qingping's feet.
"Marry? Your father and I are also a prominent figure in the county. You, a prodigal son, are simply trying to embarrass me! You are taking a concubine before you even decide on a wife. In the future, the head matron of the Jiang family may agree, and you will
Where do you put your face?"
In this big house, the most taboo thing is to have a concubine, let alone a bride taking a concubine before she is married.
"I teach you carefully on weekdays. I always thought you were a measured person. I didn't expect you to be fascinated by beauty. It's hard for you to become a great person!"
Mr. Jiang was so pissed off by this bastard. He worked so hard to teach him, but in the end he was no different from the dude outside!
Jiang Qingping lowered his head and stopped talking. There seemed to be a war without gunpowder between father and son.
"Dad, I want to take Ling Shuang as my concubine."
He couldn't tell the inner cause of the matter here. If others knew about it, the servants in the house would look down on her, and her life would definitely be difficult.
"you you……"
After being angry for a long time, Mr. Jiang had no idea what to do with the traitor in front of him.
He closed his tired eyes tightly and suddenly relaxed.
"It doesn't matter, since you want to, just go with it, you have reached the age."
"But...", his sharp eyes suddenly opened.
"You must not let her get pregnant, at least until your bride comes, and you can't produce a bastard, you know?"
Jiang Qingping agreed immediately.
Of course not, he would not touch a finger on her.
The father and son discussed it, and Jiang Qingping took the silver and went to Ling's house.
In the Ling family, Ling Zhenyuan was drunk and fell on the bed.
When he heard someone coming outside, he thought he was here to collect a debt, so he stood up hurriedly and hid in a cabinet nearby.
