Transmigration: A Farm Girl’s Brocade

Qian Sangui was deeply touched and thanked Young Master Liang profusely for his consideration.

Around Shen Hour, the procession of carriages and horses finally left the Qian family to return to the county town. Fourth Master Song had wanted to take back some lotus leaves to eat, but now that the extent of lotus root planting was directly related to his family’s profits, he refrained from causing harm and only had someone pick a few lotus flowers to take back instead.

Sister Qing had already fallen asleep in her wet nurse’s embrace. Lan Jiejie held Qian Yixiu’s hand and said, "Sister Xiu, when your house is all fixed up, I will come to the countryside to play again."

Qian Yixiu smiled warmly, welcoming her, and promised that whenever she herself went to the provincial city, she would surely visit the Song family.

As the large group of carriages and horses passed Darong Village, the villagers stirred up dust and engaged in spirited discussions.

Not far from the northern exit of the village stood a grand quadrangle dwelling. The brand-new grey-bricked and tiled houses and courtyard paved with blue stones were evidently among the finest residences in both Darong Village and Huaxi Village. This was the home of Wan Dazhong, the Wan Family Courtyard.

Upon hearing the clamor outside from the villagers that the nobles had departed, Mr. Yu stood up and said, "Finally, those people are gone; it’s time for me to head back. Heh, that Song Zhixian is like a goose plucking its own feathers—I wonder how much profit the Qian family can still retain. My female student is going to be so distressed she won’t be able to sleep."

Seeing Wan Erniu frowning and ignoring him, still glaring angrily at Wan Dazhong from time to time, he advised, "The unpleasant incident with that coarse woman was something that Da Zhong could not control. He’s not a woman; he couldn’t have accompanied the young master to the inner chambers. After all, who would have imagined such a thing happening in the bridal chamber, and that there would be such a shameless, coarse woman? Use this as a lesson for the future; let him be more cautious, as danger lurks everywhere."

Today, it was only after listening to Mr. Yu’s words that Wan Erniu and Wan Dazhong learned about the humiliation their young master suffered at the Zhang family. The father and son were inconsolable, to the point where they couldn’t even eat their midday meal.

Wan Dazhong clenched his teeth and hissed, "I said last time that we should deal with that scourge, Magistrate Wu, but my father didn’t agree, citing we should avoid unnecessary trouble. Well, now the young master has been humiliated. Hmph, tonight I’m going to chop off the hands of that couple and feed them to the dogs."
