Ning Shu: Hmph…
If there was no money, could a man not make his own money to support himself?

  They were too lazy to do hard work and simply stole things to fund their goals. Their logic was unbelievable.

  She got them out of slavery, but now, it was her fault for not being able to fulfill their wishes?

  It was also due to Ying Su’s bragging that the two siblings now had such high expectations of her. However, she was not Ying Su, and she wasn’t interested in setting up an assassin group or a shady brothel.

  “Miss, please forgive me…” Pei Lan kowtowed to Ning Shu. “This servant will never give birth to such thoughts again.”
Ning Shu smiled, then went to Madam Feng and said that she wanted to sell her maid.

  These sorts of matters were part of the inner courtyard and it wouldn’t be good to go to Feng Chang for such minor matters. If she did, she would just be berated again. After all, Feng Chang wasn’t very good-tempered.

  Madam Feng responded very indifferently towards Ning Shu. When Ning Shu said the reason for her visit was to sell off her maid, Madam Feng asked her for the reason.

  Ning Shu simply said that Pei Lan had stolen something.

  Uninterested, Madam Feng had a manservant call for the slave trader and told Ning Shu, “This servant is yours and her sale deed isn’t in the Feng Residence, so you can handle it yourself.”
When Pei Lan heard that Ning Shu was going to sell her off, she knelt at Ning Shu’s feet and begged. “Miss, please don’t sell this servant. This servant is really sorry.”
She did not want to go back to that dirty slave house ever again. There, the slaves were like animals being sold, without any dignity. She was also a general’s daughter but she had suffered a lot in the slave house. That was why the hatred in her heart was so strong to the point that she was willing to sacrifice anything for revenge.

  Now, she would have to return to the slave house. Pei Lan was shivering at the thought of it. It was only now that she realized that life in the general’s residence was not bad.

  Without contrast, there was no comparison.

  However, Ning Shu did not show any expression. There was no way she would allow someone like Pei Lan to stay by her side. Her loyalty was to Ying Su and she also wanted to get revenge on the Feng family.

  Only a stupid person would keep such people around.

  “Miss, you are not keeping your promise. You are going back on your words!” Pei Lan shouted towards the indifferent Ning Shu. “Miss, you promised my brother and me. That’s why we were so loyal to you, and now you’re going to abandon us like this?”
“You are just slaves who I paid for. What right do you have to question me?” Ning Shu retorted with a frown. The more you gave and promised, the more people came to think that they were entitled.

  Because of Ying Su’s promises of all sorts of good prospects for their future, Pei Lan wasn’t willing to be an honest servant of the Feng family. All she cared about was revenge. To have the power to take revenge!

  Ning Shu waved her hand and asked the slave trader to take Pei Lan away. Pei Lan loudly cursed Ning Shu to have a terrible death.

  Ning Shu:…
Every single one of them cursed her this way, tsk tsk…
Ning Shu then said to the slave trader, “Sell her far away, don’t let her stay in the capital.”
“Don’t worry, Fourth Miss.” The slave trader assured.

  Pei Yuan would have to earn money to buy his sister back, but the price wouldn’t be cheap.

  These two people existed because of Ying Su. Without her, they would not rise up in this world. To put it bluntly, they were supposed to ride on the main character’s coattails, and succeed in life.

  After dealing with the matter, Ning Shu bowed towards Madam Feng and turned to leave the main courtyard.

  Madam Feng said mildly, “It won’t do for you to not to have any servants around. You probably already have suitable candidates, so promote one to be your personal maid. There is no need to tell me about it.”
Ning Shu saw that Madam Feng obviously didn’t want to get too involved with her, so she expressed her gratitude and promptly left the courtyard.
