Chapter 7: Lack of Brains

The fourth concubine came in, she was wearing black martial arts clothes, her expression was… a blank stare.

Yes, she was wearing such strange clothes, she looked at Xu Weibei with her innocent and stupid eyes, she didn’t even call him.

Gao Lan: What is the fourth concubine good at!

Does she think that this is unique and will attract the Marquis’s attention?

But Linglong often wears this way, the Marquis is already immune to it.

“What,” Xu Weibei said, “Are you here to spar with me?”

In the middle of the night, these women, one crazier than the next.

In his opinion, the top is crooked, the bottom is crooked, these concubines have been influenced by Gu Wanning and are not normal.

The fourth concubine finally came back to her senses, she stammered, but her voice was loud, “Marquis, Marquis, hello!”

The sound startled Xu Weibei, who wasn’t prepared, he almost dropped the teacup in his hand.

This couldn’t be an idiot, could it?

He only wanted to take three concubines, this Zhou Yayaya was forced upon him.

Otherwise, why would he be interested in a thirteen-year-old girl?

He wasn’t a beast.

“What are you doing dressed like this in the middle of the night, coming to see me?” Xu Weibei’s voice was cold.

The fourth concubine: Can I say that?

“Tell the truth!” Xu Weibei saw her eyes rolling, he guessed that she was going to lie, so he couldn’t help but scold her.

The fourth concubine: “I, this servant went to talk to the eldest concubine, the maid said, said that she came to see you; this servant went to the second concubine again, she said that she also came to see you… This servant thought, everyone came, wouldn’t it be bad if I didn’t come?”

Xu Weibei: “…”

This one is an idiot.

She wouldn’t think that the eldest concubine and the second concubine came to see him in the middle of the night to eat, so she also came to join in, would she?

“As for this outfit,” the fourth concubine was a little wronged, “Madam doesn’t allow us to have private interactions, so I, no, this servant can only sneak around.”

Xu Weibei thought, having a little bit of brains might not be a bad thing.

Because a lack of brains is really fatal.

His aversion to stupidity was about to flare up again.

“Now, get back, you are under house arrest!” Xu Weibei said word by word.

The person who entrusted him to take care of her should be back soon.

Hurry up and take her away, he couldn’t take it anymore.

The fourth concubine was instantly wronged, she mumbled, “Do I have to be under house arrest? This servant didn’t know that I wasn’t allowed to come, I wouldn’t have come if I had known… Why don’t you have someone beat me a few times, don’t put me under house arrest.”

Not letting her go out was like taking her life.

Gao Lan looked at Xu Weibei’s face, he immediately felt that something was wrong, he quickly kicked her out, “Military orders are like mountains, you can’t bargain.”

“If I were the Marquis’s soldier, it would be great.” The fourth concubine mumbled.

She also wanted to go to war and kill the enemy.

Gao Lan: Ancestor, can you please shut your mouth?

Of all the women in this mansion, it seems that only the third concubine is smart and makes things easier.

Xu Weibei was so angry that the next day he had someone go to the backyard and tell all the women that they were not allowed to go to the outer study to find him, anyone who disobeyed would have their legs broken!

Gu Wanning also received the notice.

Er’ya was puzzled, “The Marquis is going crazy early in the morning!”

“Nothing.” Gu Wanning said knowingly as she combed her hair, “It must be for a reason. It seems that last night, someone went to see the Marquis to pour out their heart, he found it annoying.”

I’ve withdrawn from the competition, but it’s only natural for the other four to compete for favor?

They might be thinking that Xu Weibei hasn’t touched a woman for a long time, so they want to seize the opportunity.

But they don’t think about it, how could Xu Weibei not have women in these three years?

If she remembers correctly, Xu Weibei had “people in his room,” right?

Where did that maid go?

I haven’t seen her since she came back.

Neither Xu Weibei nor the previous owner considered the chambermaid as a person.

She was just an object.

Like a jade belt buckle, everyone has one, if you don’t, it’s strange.

But who would compete with an object for favor?

The previous owner wanted to win over that maid, but she didn’t even get to see her face.

Gu Wanning was just a little curious now, the maid didn’t show up, but she had no intention of winning her over at all.

“Shameless!” Er’ya cursed.

“They just grab what they want, they each rely on their own abilities, as long as they don’t step on me, I don’t need to care.”

“But they implicated you and you got scolded by the Marquis.”

“It’s okay, I will implicate them too in the future.”

In Xu Weibei’s eyes, they were all called “his women.”

If someone makes a mistake, others will also be “reminded without reason.”

Gu Wanning and Xu Weibei are at odds, so Xu Weibei’s fire will eventually be directed at her, and it will also affect the innocent.

“Hurry up, are you done packing?” Gu Wanning urged.

They were going out today.

“Almost, almost.” Er’ya looked at the bulging bag and felt a little worried, “Madam, are we taking these tonics out, isn’t it a bit too eye-catching?”

Gu Wanning wanted to pawn the tonics that the Great Princess had given her yesterday, exchange them for silver to fill the hole.

She had this handle, she always felt that she didn’t dare to speak loudly in front of Xu Weibei.

“It’s okay, just say that it’s my old clothes that I gave you, you take them back to your family.”

“Then, wouldn’t the Great Princess know, it’s not good…” Er’ya was still a little hesitant.

“Don’t worry, I’ve checked, there are no markings on the boxes. Besides, she casually gives out these things from her sleeve, do you think she will be watching me!”

Filling the hole is the most important thing.

“Yes.”

Gu Wanning had dinner and then took Er’ya out.

After leaving the mansion, Gu Wanning found that the street was very lively.

The previous owner’s memories were not as vivid as what she saw before her eyes.

In this dynasty, the restrictions on women didn’t seem to be so strict, there were many young women on the street.

Gu Wanning left the Marquis’s mansion, she felt that the air was particularly fresh.

She was dressed as an ordinary woman today, she put on powder to make her complexion dull, she wasn’t so conspicuous in the crowd.

She tightly clutched the pouch containing her “huge sum” of thirty taels of silver in her sleeve, she took Er’ya and asked around until she found a pawnshop.

But the pawnshop offered a ridiculous price, such precious blood bird’s nest, they treated it as ordinary bird’s nest, they only offered her eighty taels of silver.

You know, if you bought it normally, it would cost two hundred and sixty taels, she had inquired.

“Don’t pawn it, let’s go!” Gu Wanning said angrily.

She took Er’ya and found the largest shop selling goods from the north and south.

It was a three-story building, each floor was several hundred square meters, it was located on the most prosperous street in the capital, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold.

Gu Wanning couldn’t help but think, this shop, is it making a fortune every day!

She was so envious.

If she had a shop like this to collect rent, she could lie flat for the rest of her life.

I don’t know who it is, so rich and powerful, it makes me so jealous.

The things inside were dazzling, the first floor had all kinds of gems, exquisite gold and silver ware, the second floor had some rare things, such as plants and nuts, and the third floor had all kinds of exotic animals.

Gu Wanning was blinded by the dazzling display on the first floor, when she went to the second floor and saw those things that she was used to in her previous life, she finally regained some confidence.

Er’ya’s eyes weren’t enough, she looked around everywhere.

Suddenly, Gu Wanning’s eyes lit up.
