After saying that, she waved her hand and the maids pulled Qianzi away.
After Bai Xiangxiu received the money, she decided to use it to dress herself up. Thus, she bought some expensive rouge and face powder. She also left behind a few pieces of the latest and best cloth.
Long Heng had chosen it with her. There was no other way as he was extremely idle right now.
The clan banquet was scheduled for ten days later and they needed to prepare.
Today, they came out to prepare some related items. Of course, it was also to relieve their boredom.
The female lead had been sold to a brothel. It was said that her business was very good.
However, the men who went to find her were all of high status, so the brothel kept their identities a secret.
She also saved up a lot of money for the brothel. The taste of the Emperor's woman was not something that could be tasted all the time.
When the Emperor found out about this, he must have felt humiliated. However, he was able to endure it and did not cause trouble for Long Heng.
Or rather, he did not kill the person and did not obtain military power. He could only endure it.
Today, when the two of them were out shopping, they met a familiar face.
Ji Zhangshu, his two concubines, an old servant and a manservant were said to have been chased out by the Ji Family. The reason was naturally because they were afraid that he would implicate the Ji Family.
Although he was the grandson of the eldest son, it was not impossible to abandon him.
However, when Ji Zhangshu left, he only took a small amount of wealth. In addition, he did not have any official position. His life in the future would be difficult.
Bai Xiangxiu sighed and silently took out two thousand taels of silver and gave it to Xiao Shi. She said, "Go, give this to Ji Zhangshu gongzi. Tell him that this money is for him to use." In any case, it was money from selling Lin Qianzi. It could be considered as compensation for his loss.
"Why do you have to be like this? He asked for it." If it was not asking for trouble, then what was it?
"Don't be so stingy. In any case, this money was not earned." Bai Xiangxiu still let Xiao Shi go. When she returned, she said that Ji Zhangshu had accepted it and thanked the princess for her help.
Bai Xiangxiu nodded. Three thousand taels of silver was enough for him to use for more than ten years if he was frugal. If he bought a piece of land or a shop, it would be enough to last him for a lifetime.
"You didn't mention that Lin Qianzi, right?" If he dared to mention it, she felt that she should take back the money. This man was hopeless.
"No."
At the mention of Lin Qianzi, Xiao Shi's tone became a little awkward. She had never liked that woman.
"That's good."
Bai Xiangxiu thoughtfully watched Xiu Zhangshu leave. It was as if she had one less enemy.
Then he thought of Su Yun. She was the most difficult one to deal with. It was strange that she hadn't done anything recently.
Did something happen to her, or did she leave the palace?
Long Heng said, "You don't have to think too much about it. They reap what they sow."
"Yes, I know.
Oh right, how should I deal with the Long Family? Can you give me some advice? "
She knew that the Long Family was not to be trifled with. Moreover, it wasn't that Long Heng didn't have any relatives, but they basically didn't contact each other.
This time, because it was a big matter, they had to come.
Bai Xiangxiu always wanted to know how to deal with them, but Long Heng's answer was always, "Why care about them?
Just ignore them. "
Should she really ignore them?
Bai Xiangxiu felt that it was necessary to think about it. But whether it was the old madame or those talkative mamas, their attitudes were surprisingly consistent.
Since no one could give her any advice, she would think of a way to find out who the Long Family's relatives were and who would come, especially the women.
Ye-mama gave her a detailed explanation. It turned out that Long Heng actually had two uncles, and they were both military officials.
However, their positions weren't high, and they were only fifth or sixth rank minor officials in the capital.
The most important thing was that they didn't have much ability. In the previous generation, they relied on Long Heng's father to support the family. When he passed away, they thought about how to save the property left by their eldest brother.
Thus, in order to protect these properties, the old madame, as the head of the family, fought with them many times. Long Heng was also forced to leave the family at a young age to train in the army.
When he made military contributions and was about to be conferred the title of Prince, the old madame immediately made a decision and immediately proposed to split the family. That family's rotten mess was directly thrown out.
Later, she heard that they also split the family, and each family didn't have a good life.
Bai Xiangxiu silently remembered. She was a little busy because even if she didn't get married, she still had to pay her respects.
In the eyes of the ancient people, if they didn't pay their respects, it wasn't a real marriage.
On this day, the Bai Family, who had been missing for a long time, finally appeared.
Her mother actually came to see her with her younger sister. This was really a rare guest.
Bai Xiangxiu was very curious about her maternal family. After all, she always wanted to know their attitude.
When she saw them, she realized that there was a reason for Bai Xiangxiu's appearance.
Obviously, this mother was nearing forty years old, but her appearance was still very eye-catching.
This younger sister was the same. Although she was only one year younger than Bai Xiangxiu, she was already a rare beauty.
However, this beautiful younger sister's personality was a little similar to Bai Xiangxiu in the original novel.
Because of her appearance, her attitude was a little arrogant. Although she looked obedient, her eyes were curiously looking around.
"Mother, are you well?"
"Yes, I am. How have you been recently?"
Madame Xiao was really crying. Bai Xiangxiu felt that at least she still had some familial affection for her.
The two of them chatted for a while before Bai Xiangxiu directly asked, "Why haven't you and father come to visit me for so long?"
"This … Ever since you entered the prince's estate, you have been busy with your younger brother's exam.
Moreover, your younger sister's … marriage has some problems. Her original betrothed husband's family inexplicably broke off the engagement. She has also been ill for a long time. "
As she spoke, Madame Xiao patted her younger daughter's hand, her eyes filled with tears.
Bai Xiangxiu naturally followed her words and asked, "Why did they suddenly break off the engagement?"
She didn't even know what kind of family her younger sister was betrothed to. Moreover, what was wrong with breaking off the engagement? They could just find another one.
"It's because that family found a girl from a wealthy family and got married. They think that our family is not worthy.
I wanted to ask you for help, but your father said that no matter what, he didn't let me come to you. Because of this, he didn't even come to the child's one-month-old celebration. "
"Elder sister, father might still be angry because you went back on your word and married into the prince's estate as a concubine!
However, you are now the princess consort, so he can't say anything. "
"Rong 'er, don't talk nonsense."
Madame Xiao looked around. She was afraid that this matter would be heard by outsiders. If it were to reach Li Of Gojoseon's ears, it would affect their future.
Bai Xiangxiu understood. The original owner of her body had caused some trouble that made Master Bai unhappy. That was the main reason why they hadn't contacted each other.
However, what did it mean to go back on her word? She subconsciously glanced at Xiao Shi. She saw that she was frowning but didn't say anything.
