The Whole Village Thrives After Adopting a Lucky Girl-Chapter 511 - : Xiao Mo Extra Story_2

Chapter 511: Xiao Mo Extra Story_2

If she gets agitated, she can do anything, even shame me in front of all the soldiers.

Of course, it’s not that I’m afraid of her. To be honest, I somewhat like her, so I indulge her again.

Later, I had someone investigate her adoptive parents, and found out that they had died from an epidemic a few years ago. Only her two younger adoptive brothers were still alive – one was mentally disabled and the other was ailing.

I shared this information with her. The girl burst into tears and suddenly knelt before me. She asked me to let her go, saying that she wanted to return to take care of her brothers.

As she said this, she undid her sash and threw herself into my arms, offering to serve me in bed.

I frowned, pushed her away, and then got up and left.

After that, I didn’t pay much attention to her for half a year and didn’t summon her, but I ordered the servants to keep an eye on her to prevent her from doing anything outrageous.

The girl was very dejected for a while. She entrusted the silver and copper coins she had saved to a soldier to send to her brother, and also had a servant pawn her clothes.

The servant dared not to, and only made excuses to refuse.

I was slightly annoyed when I learned about this: she didn’t come to ask me, but instead asked my subordinates for help.

In the end, I didn’t bother with her, and let her do as she pleased.

Once, a young martial general suddenly proposed to marry Chen Ying, which annoyed me because this was the same general who had helped her send things to her brother.

Of course I couldn’t agree, so instead, I gave this martial general a dancing girl.

This dancing girl also danced the Hu Xuan Dance and often had disputes with Chen Ying.

Before long, Chen Changping brought his second daughter to me.

Looking at the face that was very similar to Chen Ying’s, I accepted her.

However, even though their faces were similar, she was not the same person. When satisfying my desires, I spitefully thought about whether Chen Ying would feel jealous.

I also extravagantly gifted Chen Changping’s second daughter with gold, silver, jewelry and silk, hoping to provoke Chen Ying’s jealousy.

But it didn’t work, she acted as if nothing had happened and rejected my advances again.

I was angry, so I made her dance throughout a feast, and she wasn’t allowed to stop unless I said so.

She danced continuously for two hours before collapsing.

I was taken aback at that moment, but someone rushed past me, picked her up and ran out of the hall, calling for the doctor.

In the end, the doctor diagnosed that she had sprained her ankle earlier, and yet I had made her dance for over two hours.

Feeling regretful and concerned, I ordered people to take good care of her.

That night I went to see her. Holding her hand, I promised her that as long as she behaved, once she was healed, I would make her a legitimate concubine.

She didn’t seem very happy, and asked, “If I become your concubine, can I freely go out?”

I was silent, got up and left.

She did this on purpose, purposefully upsetting me.

Eventually, her leg healed and she became quieter, no longer climbing trees or jumping walls frequently.

During this time, I happened to be very busy, and didn’t have much time to spend with her.

Once, I saw her in the outer court, chatting with a few young martial generals, which made me alert. Consequently, I moved my office outside and ordered two old ladies to guard the gates of the inner and outer court, not allowing anyone to enter or leave casually.

But old ladies could stop the martial generals, but they couldn’t stop my Third Brother and Wei Seventh Young Master.

One day, they broke into Chen Ying’s courtyard and peeped at her bathing.

Afterwards, they came to me and asked for Chen Ying.

I was furious and ordered the servants to flog my Third Brother ten times.

My stepmother was distressed and made a fuss, finally taking Third Brother back to her maternal home.

I was unmoved.

Since my father’s death, I’ve always been considerate towards my brothers, respectful to my stepmother, and never harsh on them. But Third Brother has been overly spoiled. He often harasses the inner court, and this time he even coveted the girl that I was smitten with. I couldn’t tolerate this.

One day, Chen Zhao came to tell me that her youngest sister had run away by climbing over the wall.

I was shocked and quickly led people out of the mansion to search for her, and also ordered all the city gates to be closed immediately.

I dispatched more than a thousand soldiers to search for her in the city and finally caught her in a ready-made clothing store.

From her bundle, I found all the gold, silver, jewelry and other ornaments I had given her.

“Why did you run away?” I asked, grinding my teeth.

She looked at me with wide eyes and blatantly lied, “I didn’t run away. I just came out to buy some food because the food at your house tastes horrible.”

I laughed out of anger, pointing at her bundle, “What’s this, then?”

She blinked and said, “I have no money. I wanted to pawn this for some cash.”

I knew she was telling the truth. All her silver coins were given to the soldiers to send to her brother. All that was left with her were the ornaments and jewelry I had given her.

As for whether her brother received them, I didn’t care.
