Chapter 1,255 The Hou Family Went to the Capital

Hou only thought about it for one night before agreeing.

She was an exiled prisoner with a lowly status, and she followed a high official to the capital to be his concubine. There was no reason to refuse.

Even if she doesn't think about herself, she still has to think about her daughter.

The old lady felt strange, "But she was exiled to Lin Zhang Mansion, and she just followed Mr. Wan. If others find out, shouldn't they say that Mr. Wan is bending the law for personal gain?"

Shu Yu smiled, "Of course it's not that simple. Although Mrs. Hou was exiled, she is the concubine of Second Master Shu. And she is not a noble concubine. Strictly speaking, she is equivalent to a servant of the Shu family. If Second Master Shu were It’s normal to sell her.”

"So, Second Master Shu sold the Hou family to Mr. Wan?" the old lady exclaimed.

Shu Yu nodded, "Aunt Hou said that after we left, the life of the Shu family became more and more difficult. The first and second bedrooms had a complete falling out. Mr. Shu used to be a person who didn't care about anything but just ate and waited for death. He had no foresight. He has no ability either. At least there is Shu Feng in the big house, who has been trained as the heir of the Shu family since he was a child."

The two families had a falling out, and although Dafang's life was not very good, Shu Feng had prestige, and the whole family listened to him, and they could barely survive with enough food.

The second wife is different. The second master thinks that he is the elder, so he wants to be lazy and let his wife, children and concubines serve him. But everyone was exiled, and they were already living a miserable life. They originally expected the second master, the head of the family, to come and help them live a good life, but he came to make things worse.

Second Master Shu wanted to set the record for his elders, and Shu Quan wanted to be the master of the second house like his eldest brother Shu Feng, so the father and son got into trouble. The second wife was caught in the middle and struggled to move forward. The house was noisy all day long and no one worked seriously.

In the end, Mr. Shu was the loser. After all, he was older, and the second wife felt more sorry for her son, so Shu Quan became the head of the second house.

Naturally, he would not let Second Master Shu be lazy. Not only could he not do it, he was a man and he had to work harder than Second Madam and others.

Anyway, distribution according to work, the more you do, the more you eat.

Second Master Shu's life was extremely difficult, and none of his wives, concubines, and children could take care of him.

So when Mr. Wan came to visit, Mr. Shu felt that he had hope.

He wanted to take Qiao at first, but when the other party wanted Hou, he made demands, and even put forward the outrageous conditions of asking Master Wan to take him away from the place of exile and release him without charge.

Mr. Wan has been an official for many years, how could he be threatened by such a person?

He put the conditions there, firstly, give him a lighter job, secondly, say hello to the steward of Zhengdao Village and pay more attention to him, thirdly, give him twenty taels of silver as Hou's money for selling himself.

If he agrees, he agrees, and if he doesn't, forget it.

Anyway, the Hou family will continue to live in the inn from now on, and Mr. Shu will not be able to see anyone, nor can he get benefits from their mother and daughter.

Second Master Shu had no choice but to grit his teeth and agreed to Lord Wan's request.

There is no need to spend too much time dealing with people like Mr. Shu. The hardships of life are enough to crush him.

In this way, Mrs. Hou became Master Wan's concubine and was taken away by him.

The old lady was a little emotional, "In the past, I always felt that it was very unreasonable for me to be able to buy and sell. So when I serve the big men, I have to have some marital affection, right? I just sell when I say it, which is simply inhumane. But you said Hou In my aunt’s situation, I have to be thankful that it’s not necessarily a bad thing that this concubine can be bought and sold.”
