Chapter 337 Brother
Pearl rushed forward to tidy it up, but when she saw the severed finger, she almost fainted: "Madam, this is...this is my father's finger."
There was a black birthmark on that finger, with a tuft of small black hair on it; she wouldn't mistake it.
"What?" Sun Qingli was taken aback. "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, this is my father's finger, madam. Look, my father has a birthmark on his left middle finger. I remember it, my father... sob sob..."
Sun Qingli panicked immediately. She knew perfectly well why Ji Dahai had been sent to Longxi. Now that Ji Dahai's finger had been delivered, did that mean the other party knew?
She didn't care whether Ji Dahai lived or died; he was just a servant, and whether he lived or died was his fate. She was worried about being exposed, and even more worried about him returning.
"Madam, you must do justice for me! My father... he wants to see me alive or dead!" Pearl said, kneeling down and crying uncontrollably.
Sun Qingli couldn't care less about any of that at the moment. She was just filled with frustration, but Pearl was someone she needed and knew a lot about her, so she couldn't abandon her now: "Don't cry, I'll think of something."
Pearl had served Sun Qingli for many years and naturally knew her temper. Her tone at this moment already indicated that the other party was impatient, so she stopped crying, wiped away her tears and got up. In fact, Ji Dahai was not good to her at all, and she had no feelings for that father, but it was good to use him.
"Go and prepare the car," Sun Qingli instructed.
Pearl quickly turned around and left.
Sun Qingli tidied herself up and went out, but she ran into Fang Tang who was returning as soon as she reached the door. She hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Why are you back at this time, Lord?"
"Yes." Fang Tang nodded. "Are you going out?"
"Yes, it's almost the master's birthday in a few years. There are a few things missing from the house. I'll go and see if I can replace them."
"Thank you for your hard work, Ali." Fang Tang's tone softened, a rare occurrence for him.
"As long as you remember my kindness, I will be content."
"Okay, don't just buy things for your home, buy yourself some jewelry too."
"Okay." Sun Qingli nodded with a smile and then left.
Fang Tang watched Sun Qingli's retreating figure, his face darkening. He waved his hand and said, "Follow Madam and see which shop she goes to."
Su Mu nodded, then quietly followed Sun Qingli.
Sun Qingli got into the carriage as soon as she left the mansion. Ershan, who was Pearl's lover, was very loyal. After everyone got in the carriage, he drove it eastward without any instructions.
"Go to the south of the city," Sun Qingli instructed.
Ershan didn't ask anything and went straight to the south of the city when he reached the intersection.
The entire capital city was centered around the imperial palace, and then divided into four main parts in the east, south, west and north. However, the overall distribution was that the south was rich, the north was poor, the east was noble and the west was lowly. Of course, this was not absolute, but only relative.
The commercial street in the south of the city is more bustling, with more shops and a wider variety of products.
Sun Qingli didn't go directly into any shop. Instead, she wandered around randomly before heading to the east of the city. After visiting a few more shops, she finally entered Chen's Porcelain Shop.
After following for most of the day and finding nothing unusual, Su Mu returned home.
Not long after entering the shop, Sun Qingli went to the backyard and pushed open one of the doors.
"Baby, you're finally here! I've been waiting for you for almost half an hour." As soon as I entered the door, I was hugged tightly.
"Hey rascal, wait a minute, I need to talk to you..."
"The most important thing right now is to feed me, otherwise I won't have the energy to listen to your other nonsense." Chen Guoliang didn't give her a chance to refuse at all and directly tore her clothes open.
Sun Qingli stopped resisting and instead became unusually cooperative. Soon, the room was filled with the sound of panting that would make anyone blush.
"Don't... leave any traces..."
"Who else could Fang Tang be?" Chen Guoliang's voice was frivolous. "If he could really make you feel good, would you still be acting like a slut here with me?"
Sun Qingli stopped resisting and even became more cooperative. Fang Tang hadn't entered her room for over a month, and he was even less cooperative than when she was a concubine.
Everyone says Fang Tang is devoted to women. He used to have one wife and one concubine. After Qi Miao'er died, he only had her as his legal wife, but that didn't stop him from sleeping with women. He had seven or eight concubines, not to mention the little sparrow he kept in Babao Lane.
If she had known that becoming the legal wife would only lead to being neglected, she wouldn't have been in such a hurry to take the position.
However, if he can sleep with women, she can sleep with other men just as easily.
The man was pleased, and his actions became even more reckless.
"Brother Guoliang, aren't your family members enough to feed you?"
"Homegrown flowers never smell as sweet as wildflowers," Chen Guoliang chuckled. "Especially since they belong to the Marquis of Chengen."
"You hate..."
“There are even more annoying ones.”
……
Meanwhile, in the room next door, Pearl and Ershan were doing the same thing, but they didn't dare to be too reckless, because it would be troublesome if the people next door couldn't hear them when they finished.
After all, the guy next door is over fifty; he won't last long.
After visiting once, Ershan and Zhenzhu stopped.
"Pearl, let's go." Ershan hugged Pearl and whispered in her ear, "Staying by her side won't end well." If what happened next door gets exposed, they'll both be dead.
Pearl took a deep breath: "But our indentures are all in her hands."
"You serve me hand and foot every day, you must know where it is, right? I can steal it."
Pearl remained silent, but she had to admit that the proposal was tempting.
“I’ve saved up some money now. Once we leave the capital, the world will be our oyster. We can find a place where no one knows us to have children. It’s much better than staying here,” Ershan continued. “She’s not as kind as the late Madam.”
"Let me think about it." Pearl was eager to try, but also had many concerns.
Ershan then said nothing more.
"Brother," Sun Qingli leaned shyly against Chen Guoliang's chest, "you're still got it."
A woman in her thirties calling a man in his fifties "brother"—luckily, there were no outsiders present, otherwise it would have given anyone goosebumps.
But Chen Guoliang seemed quite pleased: "It's good that you know. I've been saving this up for days, and I'm saving it all for you."
Although Sun Qingli scoffed inwardly, she feigned satisfaction: "How annoying." She paused for a moment, then added, "Brother, I need to talk to you about something."
"Ok?"
"The mission in Longxi failed, and Ji Dahai, whom I sent out, is probably in grave danger." Qingli then told him about the finger she had received. "Brother, what do you suggest we do?"
