Chapter 51 Father Xu's Rapid Change of Face

"Dad, Xuan Jiuqing has already arrived in Taohua Town. If you don't believe me, go ask Lord Lu. Lord Lu will never lie."

Xu Chunhua stared at Xu's father without blinking.

She had seen through Xu's father's ruthlessness in her previous life.

After Xu Qiuyue came to power, Xu's father always sided with Xu Qiuyue and never even looked at her.

But precisely because of this, she longed for the approval of Xu's father.

She wanted to tell Father Xu that what he could do would be better than what Xu Qiuyue could do.

"Chunhua, why didn't you say so earlier! Look at Dad, he's drunk and was talking nonsense just now! You haven't eaten yet, are you hungry? Dad will go out and buy you some food!"

Xu Chunhua and her mother were both stunned.

Father Xu's facial features suddenly became as if he were bathed in a spring breeze, with a gentle breeze caressing his face.

This change of attitude is too fast.

But Xu Chunhua adapted quickly.

She immediately said to Father Xu, "Daddy, I'm hungry. Please help me buy some food and some nice clothes. I'm the Ninth Prince's consort now and cannot show my face in public."

"Okay! Daddy will buy it for you right away!"

When Father Xu left, he seemed to remember something and asked Xu Chunhua, "Chunhua, the Ninth Prince lives in the Lu Mansion, why don't you live with him in the Lu Mansion?"

Xu Chunhua's face tightened. She didn't expect that despite her precautions, Xu Qiuyue and Xuan Jiuqing would still meet.

But now Xu Qiuyue is married to businessman Lu Yuan, and it is impossible for her to be with Xuan Jiuqing in this life.

Thinking of this, Xu Chunhua was secretly proud again. She knew that she couldn't tell the truth to Xu's father, so she said to him, "Dad, Jiuqing feels sorry for me and wants me to go home and reminisce with my family first.

Dad, remember to buy me a maid. I think Tian Chunlian, the maid from the Tian family, is very good. Please buy her to be my maid.

Now I am not an ordinary person anymore, it is inconvenient for me not to have two confidants to help me."

Xu Chunhua still remembers Tian Chunlian, this maid was very loyal. When Xu Qiuyue sold her, she bought her and then she followed Xu Qiuyue wholeheartedly.

"Girl, even if you are the imperial concubine, you cannot enslave the people of your own village. Can't you buy anyone else's?"

Father Xu said unhappily.

If this gets out, it will have a huge impact on the reputation of their Xu family.

By then, the people in the village will definitely curse their family.

Buy a good girl from the village to be a maid.

Isn’t this the same as those black-hearted landlords?

"Dad, Tian Chunlian's family is going to sell her off anyway. Why don't we just buy her and consider it a good deed?"

Xu Chunhua was a little confused. This was obviously a good thing, so why would people say this?
"Who said that? Tian Chunlian is married now. Her family had enough money to pay off their debts, but Young Master Lu waved his hand and forgave everyone's debts."

When Mr. Xu talked about this, he was still somewhat happy. Although he did not benefit from it, the people in the village thought it was his credit and gave him a lot of things.

Although those things are not worth much.

But that feeling was very comfortable. No one had ever respected him like this in all these years.

Who doesn’t say that his daughter Xu Qiuyue married well!
"How is it possible? How could Lu Yuan be so generous as to forgive everyone's debt?"

Xu Chunhua said in disbelief.

She was a little surprised.

"How is that impossible? Young Master Lu was praying for Qiuyue. He also said that it was hard for Qiuyue to go back to her parents' home, and that the road was too dilapidated, so he specially repaired it.

That road cost a lot of money, and the materials were all top-quality. The people who went to work had good food to eat, and they could even eat meat!
And those who perform well will receive additional rewards in addition to their wages.”

Father Xu had never worked, so he didn't know the specific situation, he just heard it from others. There was indeed meat to eat, but not everyone had meat to eat, only those who performed well had meat to eat, and those who took advantage of the situation had only a bowl of rice to eat.

Those wages were used to pay off debts.

However, only those who continue to work after the debt has been paid off can receive their wages.

For those who perform well, their wages will be used to pay off debts, and they will receive extra rewards.

Then, if the road is repaired ahead of time, there is no need to worry about the remaining debt. If it is completed ahead of time, the remaining loans will be written off.

The Tian family originally wanted to ask hunters to help with the work to pay off their debts, but when they learned that there was meat to eat, they immediately replaced the hunters and had their own people do the work.

It’s not the autumn harvest season yet, so farm work isn’t busy. I have some free time, and I can eat meat at my doorstep. How great is that!

If you do a good job, there will be a reward, and the reward is not low.

There was a person who became a manager because he reported others for not working seriously. He didn't have to do any work, just supervise from the side.

But he was not idle either, he was still working.

There was less gossip about him in the village, and people didn't dislike him as much anymore.

Xu Chunhua knew that Lu Yuan had built a road for Xu Qiuyue, but she didn't know that Lu Yuan had actually waived the debts.

In his previous life, Lu Yuan and his father had a huge argument.

Lu's father almost stopped recognizing Lu Yuan as his son, but Lu Yuan was still unwilling to waive the debt to the farmers.

Forcing those people to sell their children to pay off their debts.

How could Lu Yuan give in so easily in this life?

It must be because of something else, definitely not because of Xu Qiuyue. These are all rumors, and people are just spreading rumors.

Xu Chunhua comforted herself in her heart.

Seeing Xu Chunhua looked dumbfounded, Xu's father said nothing.

I was thinking of going outside to ask around and then see if I should buy a maid for Xu Chunhua.

The maids in wealthy families were bought from a young age and kept by their families.

When you go to buy something now, you don’t know the customer and their loyalty is very low.

Xu's father also felt that it was normal for Xu Chunhua to want to buy a girl from the village as a maid, as they were all acquaintances and knew each other well.

When Xu's father went out, he really left Xu Chunhua with nothing to eat.

After Xu's father left, Xu's mother grabbed Xu Chunhua's hand with some anxiety.

"Chunhua, what do you say if your father finds out that you are not so favored?"

Mother Xu said to Xu Chunhua anxiously.

She had been to the princess's villa, so she naturally knew that Xu Chunhua was not actually favored.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be jealous of Xu Qiuyue marrying Lu Yuan.

If I had known this earlier, I should not have kept Xu Qiuyue and ruined Xu Chunhua’s marriage.

If it weren't for Xu Qiuyue, Xu Chunhua would have to marry Lu Yuan and there would be no chance of a replacement marriage.

"Mom, what are you afraid of? How could my dad possibly get in touch with the people around Jiu Qing?

What's more, I will definitely become a real prince's consort.

At the beginning, I gave up Lu Yuan because I knew Jiu Qing's future achievements would be a thousand times better than Lu Yuan's."
