I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times Chapter 139

Mrs. Tai persuaded Ling Chu sternly, "Sister Chu, your mother and second aunt are right. You can't go out to set up a stall anymore in the future. Now that you have grown up and are a big girl, it's time to start seeing other people." . You must not ruin your reputation, otherwise it will be difficult for you to get married in the future..."

The Commander of the Imperial Guards, Lord Ning, regardless of his identity as the emperor's illegitimate son, he is also the eldest son of Duke Ning.

 Their family is just common people now, and they are not from the right family. If their reputation is ruined again, they will really have no chance of marrying into the Ningguo Duke's house.

"Sister Chu, you were used to being at ease in Xuanqing Temple before, but now that you have returned to the capital, you should also learn the rules, etiquette, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. If you don't have anything useful, you can marry Don't go to a good house.”

 The second lady was secretly upset when she heard what the Tai Madam said. She accused the eldest girl of setting up a stall and ruining the family's reputation. She originally wanted the Tai Madam to punish her.

Unexpectedly, this old fool was so unapologetic that he was still planning for her with all his heart.

The Second Madam was angry, but the Madam was her mother-in-law, so she did not dare to contradict her. She only reminded her with a sullen face, "Mom, our family can't afford money to hire a gentleman to teach etiquette in our house."

The lady spoke for a moment.

 The words of the Second Madam deeply stimulated her inner unwillingness.

Thinking of the glory of the past, and comparing it to the current situation where she was so poor that she couldn't even afford a husband, her heart felt like it was being boiled in a frying pan.

 She would never be willing to spend the rest of her life in this kind of poverty.

 Several girls in the house are good-looking, and their marriages need to be carefully planned.

As long as they are married into a wealthy family and let them plan a future for their brothers in the house, their Ling family will have a chance to turn around.

The more Mrs. Tai thought about it, the hotter her heart became.

“Mrs. Dong, Sister Chu is the eldest daughter in our family. From now on, you will teach her the rules, etiquette, music, chess, calligraphy and painting.”

 Mr. Dong subconsciously wanted to refuse and let her teach that dead girl? With that time, she might as well spend more time taking care of Hao'er and Qing'er.

 As soon as the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.

Since she is the one to teach, it is not up to her to decide how the teaching will turn out.

“Don't worry, mother, I won't worry. Although Chu Jieer has been fostered in Xuanqingguan since she was a child, she is not close to me as a mother. But I can't blame her. It's because I, as a mother, am incompetent and failed to take good care of her.

 But no matter what, Chu Jie'er is still my daughter. Now that she has returned to the mansion, I will teach her well from now on and never let her embarrass our Ling mansion. "

Aunt Wen twitched her lips sarcastically. If she were an older girl, she wouldn't be happy hearing what Dong said.

Although Aunt Wen feels that Dong is hypocritical, it is better for her to have less interference in the matter of mother and daughter, so as not to let Dong trouble her two children again.

Furthermore, Aunt Wen didn't think Ling Chu could learn anything from Xuan Qing Temple. It would be a good thing if Dong was willing to teach her sincerely.

The better Lingchu learns, the greater the chance of marrying into the Duke of Ning.

 Her two children will also benefit from her being the eldest sister in the future.

Aunt Wen secretly had her own wishful thinking, but the second lady was so angry that she almost tore the veil in her hand.

The second lady was unhappy when she heard that Mrs. Dong wanted to teach Ling Chu herself, but she couldn't think of any reason to stop her, so she could only sit aside and sulk secretly.

“Then it's settled, Sister Chu, starting from tomorrow, you will follow your mother and learn all about music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and red.”

Lingchu had been silently listening to these people talking to themselves. After listening for a while, she probably guessed their intentions.

 The abacus is good.

  But she is not a soft persimmon and can be manipulated by the so-called relatives of this family.

 Don't let her set up a stall?

How is that possible!

Her little life can now be sustained by merit and health-preserving medicine. If she is not allowed to set up a stall, it will be her life!

"I have been fostered in Xuanqing Temple since I was a child. My master saw that my father did not care for my mother and was in poor health. He was worried that I would not be able to live without Xuanqing Temple in the future. He specially taught me the fortune-telling skills. The result is that I can support myself on my own in the future.”

Lingchu deliberately said this in a leisurely manner. When she saw that everyone's faces were getting more and more ugly, she twitched the corners of her lips and continued speaking slowly.

"Before leaving Xuanqing Temple, my master warned me repeatedly that the skills he taught me must not be wasted. Furthermore, my body is weak and if I want to live safely, I must accumulate more merits to survive. You won't let me By setting up a stall, are you planning to let the eldest daughter of the Ling family openly disobey the master's orders? "

Didn't Mrs. Dong say that she was not close to her mother? She just wanted to lift that fig leaf deliberately.

 She was not allowed to set up a stall, so she brought out the name of her master Xuan Yi.

 If you have the ability, go find her master.

As soon as Ling Chu said these words, Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Dong both looked very unhappy.

Aunt Wen sneered secretly. She knew that the elder girl would be unhappy when Dong said that.

 It is the second lady who is gloating about the misfortune.

　　Ling Chu contradicted the Tai Madam in public, and the Second Madam wished that she would be rejected by the Tai Madam.

It would be better if the madam could punish her.

Ling Chu glanced at the people with different expressions expressionlessly, without any disturbance in his heart.

 She is not the original owner and has no feelings for the family, so naturally she will not feel sad.

Seeing that no one said anything, Ling Chu put down the tea cup in his hand and was about to go back to recuperate when the maid guarding the door hurried in with a greeting card.

“Mrs. Tai, a woman came from outside the house to ask for an audience. She said she was the steward of Mrs. Zhao Guogong's side.”

Ling Chu was surprised, someone from Zhao Guogong's mansion?

Since the Shangshu Mansion was demoted to common people, the former in-laws of the Ling Mansion were afraid of being implicated, so they all drew a clear line with their family and stopped communicating with them.

In this case, why would the Duke of Zhao actually send someone to the door?

 When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.

Since there was no rush to recuperate, Ling Chu simply stayed and watched the excitement.

Hearing that someone from Duke Zhao's residence was coming, not only Ling Chu was surprised, but even the wife looked surprised.

If it were normal, Mrs. Tai would not take it to heart at all when she hears that a stewardess in another house is asking for an audience. But today is different from the past. Even if she is a mother-in-law in Duke Zhao's palace, the wife does not dare to treat her lightly.

Although she was surprised, she didn't think much about it. The wife hurriedly asked the maid to welcome the visitor in.

 The second and third ladies, as well as several concubines in the mansion, were equally surprised.

Their Ling Mansion has never had any contact with Duke Zhao's Mansion, so why would Mrs. Zhao Guogong send a woman to ask for an audience at this time?

At this moment, Dong's heart trembled.

The people coming from Zhao Guogong's mansion are here for the wedding?

Ms. Dong couldn't help but feel upset. Ever since the incident in the Ling Mansion, she had been busy with trivial matters around her. She hadn't had time to make plans. She didn't know whether Mrs. Zhao Guogong sent her mother-in-law here to propose a break from the engagement or to discuss marriage.
