Chapter 1740: The Small-Minded Attitude of a Concubine

Bai Yiqiao’s sudden change in attitude made her seem like a nutjob. She changed her attitude way too quickly. Even Ning Shu was shocked until she realized that Bai Yiqiao was doing this for Fang Yong.

Ning Shu laughed inwardly. This was why she said Bai Yiqiao couldn’t get rid of the small-minded attitude of a concubine. She was still using the methods she learned as a concubine to deal with men.

A real husband and wife would talk things through and respect each other equally. But in ancient times, this was obviously impossible.

However, this method was very rewarding for Bai Yiqiao. The numerous men who had amorous feelings towards her were all men in high positions which increased Bai Yiqiao’s value and attractiveness. When people fought over an object, the object increased in value. In this way, Fang Yong would dote on her all his life, never taking in a concubine.

Fang Yong stood up, handed the two pheasants in his hand to Chen Li, and said, “This is the game I caught today. Here, try some. It’s been a little tense between us recently but we’re neighbors and we’ll cross paths often. As neighbors, we’ll often need to help each other out. If we’re in the wrong, I hope you don’t take it to heart.”

Chen Li looked at the two pheasants, not knowing whether he should pick them up. He couldn’t help but look at Ning Shu. Ning Shu lightly nodded.

Fang Yong obtained so much money for doing nothing. It was letting him off easily to just eat his two pheasants.

Chen Li took the pheasants with a smile and said, “It’s okay. It’s normal for neighbors to have disputes from time to time. Thank you for the pheasants.”

Ning Shu: …

Even if Fang Yong could hunt and sell all the pheasants on the mountain, he would still not be able to earn eighty taels. Fang Yong could really handle matters neatly.

He knew when to advance and when to retreat. It didn’t matter whether he got more money by coming to their house or not. He could handle the situation either way.

Sure enough, his success was not accidental. Fang Yong was able to smoothly rise to officialdom in the end. In addition to his excellent physical skills, a sharp mind was also indispensable for success.

To be honest, Fang Yong was a man who could be entrusted with a woman’s life. That’s why Bai Yiqiao tried to deal with Chen Ermei in this way.

Father Chen knocked his pipe on the table and said to Fang Yong, “Fang Yong, only our families know about this matter. Make sure it doesn’t get out.”

Fang Yong nodded. “Uncle Chen, I know. Don’t worry. ”

After Fang Yong and Bai Yiqiao left, Ning Shu sighed. In her opinion, Fang Yong didn’t deserve to get a single share of the money. But since he showed up at the time, a share of the money had to go to him, otherwise a disaster might occur.

Damned deceitful heavens, they used her hands to give Fang Yong money. The autumn harvest would be coming soon and riots were getting more frequent everywhere.

With this money, Fang Yong could pave his way easily once he joined the army.

Ning Shu recalled that in their previous lives, Fang Yong caught a white tiger before joining the army. That tiger’s skin and bones made him a lot of money.

Forget it. Although the loss gnawed at Ning Shu, the money she received could be considered her payment for painstakingly digging up the ginseng.

“Ermei, do you think we should stew or braise these pheasants?” Chen Li asked Ning Shu, carrying the two pheasants.

Ning Shu rolled her eyes. Look at how stupid he looked, it was only two pheasants, but he looked so delighted.

“Braise one and stew the other,” Ning Shu said.

Lady Li said, “Let’s stew both. Your father’s teeth aren’t very good.”

“Alright, both of them will be stewed in soup.” Chen Li went to kill the pheasants.
