“That’s true, Old Master, I heard everything. That family has made some fortune recently and bought so many things behind people’s backs. They are keeping it a secret!”

“Bah!” Old Master Zhao sneered. “Soon those places would be mine! If they know what position they are in, they would definitely give those things to me on their own so that they can save themselves some trouble. Otherwise, they will regret it for the rest of their life!”

Housekeeper flattered him. “You are right! How dare they steal your stuff, Old Master Zhao? It is only right that they pay it back to you!’

Honestly, when the housekeeper learned about the large amount of properties that belonged to Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan, he was shocked.

He also felt really jealous.

He had always looked down at poor farmers. But now, there was a farmer’s family who made a fortune and bought so many properties. He felt that he had been put into the shade! He was really envious and angry. He looked forward to seeing bad luck happening to them.

He just did not like it.

So many fields and tea mountains! His master was going to take these over now.

After some discussion, Old Master Zhao and the housekeeper came up with one solution.

He had a concubine called Ding Qiuyue, and she was 21 years old. She looked really charming and was from the village.

Ding Jiahao was one of her side relatives, her uncle,

Ding Qiuyue became Old Master Zhao’s concubine when she was 16 years old. She was just a concubine and could not go back to her mother’s home as per the rules. Old Master Zhao had paid her family 10 liang and that counted as

buying her out.

She was spoiled. If she behaved well, she could get some presents delivered back to her mother’s family during New Years time. But she did not dare to ask too much, else Old Master Zhao’s wife would get really irritated and torment her.

The wife could just get her killed as easily as pinching an ant. After all, she was just a concubine without any background.

But this time, Old Master Zhao allowed Ding Qiuyue to return to her mother’s family.

Ding Qiuyue was surprised. But she was scared too. When she heard that Old Master Zhao needed her to do some serious business, she felt much less worried.

Ding Qiuyue was wearing a turquoise embroidered dress, with silver hairpins and pink silk flowers on her hairpin. There was thin powder on her face, her eyebrows had been darkened. She had embroidered shoes on her feet, and a handkerchief in her hand. She got out of the wagon with the help of her maid Hongyu, and attracted the attention of a lot of people from the village. “Isn’t that Qiuyue? Long time no see. You are getting prettier!” “Look at what she is wearing. She seems to be leading a nice life!”

“But she is just a concubine! That is not good at all.”

“She is just a concubine and is still living well. Still it is much better to marry a poor farmer.”

Ding Qiuyue’s dad was called Ding Jiahuai and her mother was called Ms. Guan. Hearing those words, Ms. Guan glared at them and asked Ding Qiuyue to come into the yard, and she shut the door.

“Those villagers know nothing! Ignore them!”

Ms. Guan said as she observed her daughter. She was so well-dressed and pretty and that made Ms. Guan feel really satisfied.

She smiled. “You are looking so beautiful, almost as good as the noble lady from that big family.. Look at what you have on you…”
