Chapter 290 The Concubine of the Marquisate Killed by the Ungrateful Brother and Sister-in-law (5)
Su Li stood on the side of the road and watched Cui Zhaoping and his men leave.
Then, while no one was paying attention, she disappeared into the crowd on the street.
The servant who was supposed to take her to the countryside couldn't find anyone, so he decided to keep the matter secret and wait a few days before setting off again.
That night, Cui Zhaoping took Cui Jue and Cui Shan, brother and sister, to an inn in a market town on their way back to Beijing to rest.
Late at night.
Su Li, standing on the roof of Cui Zhao's bungalow, curled her lips.
With a wave of the hand, the innate skill is activated!
His entire room suddenly became gloomy and windy, with faint and creepy sounds of ghosts howling.
Cui Zhaoping woke up from his sleep, turned over and sat up, and then the pain intensified.
"Second brother..."
"The child's second uncle..."
Two white shadows without feet on the ground were standing beside his bed, calling him.
"Ah!!! Ghost!!!" He was so scared that his face turned pale and he raised his voice to make a sharp sound.
However, no matter how he shouted, the entire inn was silent.
What he didn't know was that Su Li had already set up a barrier around his room, so no matter how loud his voice was, it couldn't be heard!
"Second brother, you've harmed us, give me back my life! You've harmed us..." The white shadow approached him again, making a sound of demanding his life.
Cui Zhaoping's eyelids fluttered and he fainted!
Only then did Su Li put away the illusion and fell towards the room.
"Not scared at all? Tsk tsk, so boring!" Looking at Cui Zhaoping, Su Li thought for a moment, and a resentment shot into his brows.
With this power of resentment, he cannot rest in peace even in his sleep!
His brother and sister-in-law would harass him day and night. As long as he closed his eyes, their figures would appear, unwilling to rest in peace and demanding his life!
Because of the plan, Su Li didn't intend to kill him now, but he would always make him suffer!
It's worth it to act in front of him!
She used her spiritual power to conjure up a leather belt and lashed it at him!
Control the strength well, so that he won’t get hurt, but at the same time he can suffer some pain!
Soon, Cui Zhaoping was awakened by the pain. He looked at the girl in front of him in horror, "Jin, Jin'er, why, why is it you? Why are you here?"
Su Li, who was dressed in a plain white dress, curled her lips, slowly suspended in the air, and said word by word in the most gentle language, "Second Uncle, because Jin'er is here to thank you!"
Then she swung the belt and whipped Cui Zhaoping again!
"Ah!!" Seeing that her feet couldn't touch the ground, Cui Zhaoping's eyelids fluttered again.
Unfortunately, Su Li did not let him go this time. The belt turned into fists and punched him all over his body!
"Ah! No! Niece, please let me go! Help, someone come!" After waking up from the unbearable pain from being beaten, Cui Zhaoping dodged and called for help outside.
Unfortunately, it was still eerily quiet outside.
Su Li punched Cui Zhaoping until he turned into a pig's head, and then he stopped. Then he turned into a white light and disappeared in front of him.
"Ghost, I saw a ghost!" Cui Zhaoping's eyelids fluttered and he fainted again.
However, as soon as he closed his eyes, he saw the figures of his brother and sister-in-law asking for his life.
He was so scared that he quickly opened his eyes!
In this way, after tossing and turning for several times, he finally fell into a deep sleep at dawn.
Even the servant who called him to set off couldn't wake him up!
Finally, after lunch, the group continued on their journey.
This time, he bought a large amount of dry food in the market town, intending to travel day and night back to the capital!
Even so, it took him three days to arrive!
The first thing he did after arriving in the capital was to go to Guanghua Temple to set up longevity tablets for his brother, sister-in-law and Cui Jin, which made him feel much more at peace.
After he stopped seeing the vengeful spirits that were taking his life day and night, Cui Zhaoping began to make arrangements for Cui Shan and Cui Jue.
Cui Zhaoping was engaged in vegetable and meat business in the capital. He liked to buy vegetables, pork, etc. from ordinary people in the suburbs, and then sell them to wealthy families to make a profit from the difference!
Therefore, he usually dealt with the stewards of the Marquis' Mansion, the Prince's Mansion, and the Duke's Mansion, and he knew a little about the secrets of those high-ranking officials and nobles!
Originally, he planned to send Cui Jin to the Nanping Marquis' Mansion for the Nanping Prince to play with, because he knew that the Nanping Prince loved young girls the most and was generous with them.
A young girl could be sold for hundreds of taels of silver!
He had also brought in a few young girls from the surrounding countryside and sent them in, but unfortunately the housekeeper of the Marquis's mansion said that the prince thought the country girls were vulgar!
Only then did he start to set his sights on his brother's two daughters!
Not only can you get his property, but you can also please the Marquis's Mansion, killing two birds with one stone!
Now, not only did they not get the Cui family’s property, but they also lost a maid who could be sold for silver.
Cui Zhaoping felt that he had suffered a huge loss in this transaction!
The money used to spend on the trip and to set up a longevity tablet for his brother and sister-in-law all costs money!
Originally, he had no son, and he wanted to support Cui Jue and take care of him in his old age!
In order to make his money back this time, he decided to send them all away!
In order to prepare for his next plan, Su Li withdrew his resentful power after he set up longevity tablets for the three members of the Cui family.
Soon, Cui Zhaoping negotiated the price with the steward of Nanping Marquis’ Mansion!
That night, Cui Zhaoping asked his servants to prepare four dishes and a soup, and had dinner with Cui Shan and Cui Jue.
"Oh! It's all because of my second uncle! After eating this meal today, there will be nothing to eat at home tomorrow!" Cui Zhaoping sighed.
"Second Uncle, is there anything we can do to help you?" Cui Shan and Cui Jue looked at each other and asked.
Now, their only support is their second uncle.
The two siblings didn't care whether their eldest sister Cui Jin was dead or alive, they only cared about their own future.
"Alas, Second Uncle is useless. I spent all my money on the funeral of your parents. From now on, you will have to live on coarse food with me." Cui Zhaoping pretended to feel guilty.
When talking about eating coarse food, Cui Shan looked conflicted.
She has lived a life of luxury since she was a child and has never suffered any hardship.
She had already felt sick from eating dry food for three days from her hometown to the capital, and now she was saying she wanted to eat bran or vegetables?
How could she bear this?
"Uncle, is there any way to make money so that we can live a good life?" Cui Shan asked quickly.
"Yes, there is, but my second uncle can't bear to part with it!" Cui Zhaoping said in embarrassment.
"Uncle, what's the method? Tell me!" Cui Shan asked quickly.
"It's like this! The daughter of the Nanping Marquis's mansion is looking for a personal maid recently. The fee is three taels of silver a month. All she needs to do is play with her!"
Cui Zhaoping said, "Many people are eyeing this job now, and it may not be our turn!"
"What about food? How is the food?" Cui Shan asked quickly.
"Of course the food is top-notch! After all, she is the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter, and she is the face of the mansion!"
Cui Zhaoping said, "And you don't have to sign a contract to sell yourself. When you turn 20, we can help you find a good family and give you a dowry!"
