Moonlight Exposes the Works of a Concubine's Daughter Marrying into Royalty The Concubine's Daughter's Royal Marriage The Royal Highness' Sixty Bushels of Fine Horses

  " Ninth sister, it's these few gentlemen who want to buy this tree, you see..."

  At this point, Xu Shichang had already entered the house, handing over the load on his back to Wu Shi who came to greet him, while pointing at several people standing at the gate through the window.

  The ninth sister began to hate the ancient window a bit, because it made her expose herself without any cover again in front of these two powerful men who definitely had no good impression of her.

  But today's matter concerns her, and the future and fate of all those she cares about. She can only force herself to calm down and respond carefully.

  "Uncle, let's go out and take a look!" she said to Xu Shichang after taking a deep breath.

  Xu Shichang was born into a peasant family. Although he had a sister who was a concubine in the Hou Mansion, they didn't have much formal contact, so there weren't many rules to follow. Hearing his beloved and respected niece speak like this, he didn't think there was anything improper about it, and immediately agreed to accompany her out.

  "Miss......" Seeing this situation, Qing An was a bit anxious on one side.

  "After you go back to the house, take a look at Zhou Mama and them by the carriage, and bring a pot of tea for them. Just say that I have two private words to discuss with my uncle and aunt, and then I'll come!" She said to Qing Xing.

  Qing Xing listened to her firm tone, hesitated for a moment, and had no choice but to turn around and leave.

  After Qing Xing left, she followed her uncle Xu Shichang out of the door and stood under the blue sky and white clouds, facing the two men who were a head taller than her.

  "Listen to my uncle say that two young masters want to buy these trees, and ask the two young masters to forgive me, these trees cannot be bought!"

  Since neither of them had told their uncle their names, she naturally pretended to be unaware and merely bowed slightly in response.

  Such a clear refusal stunned not only Wang and his entourage, but also Xu Shichang on the side.

  Just now this nephew girl obviously had the intention of selling it, how come...

  "Can't sell? Hmph, you little girl, whose family are you from, daring to speak like this!"

  A somewhat sharp and fine voice rang out, and the one who spoke was a man wearing an ivory white gown with a round collar and no beard under his chin, standing beside the red-clothed man.

  Eunuch, also known as Taijian!

  Actually, Jiu wanted to raise her head and take a closer look at these treacherous representatives, but for the moment, she really didn't dare.

  To know that this society is a strict hierarchy, if a dignitary is unhappy, the head of this little ant will be removed.

  She hastily lowered her head and eyes, pretending to be innocent and flustered.

  "A few masters, this is my niece, also the one who bought this mountain forest with her own money. She has been raised in a deep boudoir and hasn't seen much of the world, so please don't mind her!" Xu Shichang saw her and hastily stepped forward, blocking her way.

  Although it is also humble and condescending, it has a clear protective meaning.

  He didn't know these people, but judging from their attire and demeanor, he naturally knew they weren't ordinary people, so of course he wouldn't dare offend them.

  "Huilin, where did you get so much nonsense!" The red-clothed man glanced at the two of them and scolded the unnecessary man.

  The man immediately retreated and fell silent.

  "What if we have no choice but to buy?"

  Just as Jiujie was secretly rejoicing that she had run into the fourth prince, Ouyang Rui, who wasn't bad at all, a low, clear and cold voice rang out.

  The ninth sister was taken aback and looked up at the legendary Weiyuan King Yang Guofeng.

  The person is cold, and their voice is even colder.

  Cold is one aspect, more direct and also more overbearing.

  However, in front of his own wives and concubines, this horse was definitely not that majestic.

  But soon after, Ninth Sister couldn't help but secretly resent in her heart the injustice and hatred of being bullied by others.

  The man's senses were also sharp enough, and before he knew it, those deep black eyes had met hers.

  "Master, why make things difficult," Ninth Sister's heart skipped a beat, and without pretending, she looked frightened and terrified, "It's not that the young woman doesn't want to sell, but this mountain forest was bought by the young woman to pay respects to her mother, to celebrate her mother's 70th birthday on the eighth day of the seventh month!"

  Congratulations on your longevity, Linzi? The gaze that looked over was naturally full of surprise and confusion.

  "It's true, the young lady's mother is indeed the daughter of the wealthy wax merchant Jiang family in Bianzhou City!" After much build-up, Jiu finally said this.

  Ouyang Rui was taken aback, "You are the daughter of Ningping Hou Wen's family?"

  "Yes!" Ninth Sister said seriously, "I am the ninth daughter in my family!"

  With this relationship, these two people should be embarrassed to force a purchase, after all, her uncle is also the Minister of Works and has arranged a marriage with a noble family.

  You're from a noble family, no matter how high your position is, you should be more considerate!

  Of course, this matter of introducing herself could be left to her uncle to handle, but she came out in person to deal with it. There were two other reasons for this:

  If she and her uncle's purchase of the forest were to become public, she would have a very legitimate reason for buying the forest for her wax merchant mother-in-law's birthday, or even better, buying trees that produce white wax every year.

  She had heard that when her uncle bought the forest, some mountain people would collect and sell natural wax to wax merchants during the white wax harvest season.

  Although she didn't get much white wax due to lack of manual intervention, it still made her spend twenty more taels of silver to buy the forest.

  It is believed that this will be very reasonable and even the three old masters, Wen Chonghu, who have always ignored and disliked this relative, will have nothing to say.

  As for the reason for being secretive, it's better to explain that when giving gifts to others, it's naturally more mysterious. Who would reveal their trump card early on and tell someone that they will give them something? That wouldn't be right, would it?

  Another point is that she certainly wants to do this business and make money from it.

  That's why she came out to see these two people with great trepidation and risk!

  But...

  Why doesn't Wei Yu Wang react at all? The daughter of the Wen family is devoted to you, and the daughter of the Jiang family married far away in Jiangnan for your sake.

  It's so embarrassing to force people to buy something like this, isn't it?

  The ninth sister couldn't help but take another look at the man who still had a calm and indifferent face. In a flash of lightning, she suddenly realized something - that this person already knew her true nature.

  It must be!

  Just now in the back mountain, Qī Jiě was flattering that elegant and noble ōu Yáng Ruì, this man had looked afar with a frown.

  I should have known her identity at that moment!

  Jiujie's heart flashed with a certain emotion called anger and frustration, but soon she suppressed it again, after all, there was still a fight to be had!

  She reminded herself with a gentle smile, "Actually, Xiaojiao knows that the rise and fall of the world is everyone's responsibility. This matter of military equipment is a national defense priority, not just for the two of you who are high-ranking and powerful to plan for it. Xiaojiao should also contribute her efforts, although she has also spent all her money to buy this mountain forest. If the two young masters need it, naturally she will offer it with both hands. It's just that she hopes the two young masters will show some sympathy for Xiaojiao's filial piety..."

  "How much money do you want for this wood? I really need it."

  But before she could finish her grand, seemingly touching yet subtly barbed words, that calm and low voice interrupted her once again.

  "Big brother, don't scare our little girl to death!" Someone couldn't bear it and started speaking up for her, that was the Fourth Prince, Ouyang Rui.

  The ninth sister's face didn't change, but she fiercely rolled her eyes in her heart.

  Alas, this horse...

  "I still have things to attend to, I don't have so much time to waste here!"

  But what the horse said next made Jiu Si Er even more furious: "If you have something to do, then leave! What are you lingering here for?"

  Although he was talking to Ouyang Rui, he glanced at her, as if she deliberately flirted with the two big men.

  The matter of Wu Jie Er, the matter of Hou Shan... Uh, this horse is thoroughly bad, no, it's his impression of her that's thoroughly bad.

  In that case, she doesn't have to bother with so many things either.

  She then pulled her uncle aside and whispered a few words to him.

  When he heard the price she mentioned, his uncle couldn't help but stare with wide eyes.

  She nodded to him, then looked at Weiyuan Wang and the Fourth Prince, "I've delayed the two princes for a long time, I feel deeply sorry. As for other matters, as a young girl, of course, my uncle will be in charge. The sky is not early, so I won't disturb you anymore, farewell!" After finishing, she bowed deeply to the two of them...
