"Oh, then what should I do according to Madam's suggestion?"
Seeing that Jiujiu was asking her what she wanted, Pang Wan immediately proposed her own solution. "Of course, you should abdicate your position and propose a divorce."
Pang Wan's words successfully made Jiujiu laugh.
"Will the Grand Tutor take the initiative to propose a marriage between Xiang Bei and Madam's younger sister after I divorce?"
"Of course." Pang Wan said matter-of-factly. "My sister comes from a prestigious family and is well-educated. She and Xiang Bei are a match made in heaven. As long as Xiang Bei meets my sister, he will definitely like her."
"In that case, why are you wasting your breath on me, Madam? Why don't you just take your sister to see Xiang Bei?" Jiujiu picked up the teacup and took a sip. She said calmly, "As long as Xiang Bei proposes a divorce, I won't say anything."
In the end, the problem was shifted to Xiang Bei.
However, the problem was that if Xiang Bei was willing to divorce, Pang Wan would not come here.
To put it bluntly, if Xiang Bei was unwilling, Pang Wan would pick a pushover to bully Jiujiu.
Pang Wan glared fiercely at Jiujiu. "I thought about it for a moment. Since Xiang Bei swore to God that he would never let you down, it would be unfair for me to ask you to divorce him. If I don't do this, you can abdicate your position and become a concubine. Xiang Bei will marry my sister. This way, won't it be the best of both worlds?"
A concubine was equivalent to a slave. At that time, Jiujiu would still be at their mercy.
Of course, Pang Wan did not think that Jiujiu, who came from a poor family, would understand this.
As soon as Pang Wan said this, Jiujiu knew what she was thinking. Jiujiu chuckled. "If Madam thinks this is a good idea, you can ask someone to tell Xiang Bei. As long as Xiang Bei is willing to let me be a concubine, I won't say anything."
Jiujiu's words made Pang Wan angry again.
If she could persuade Xiang Bei, she would not need to waste her breath on Jiujiu.
Pang Wan snorted coldly and gritted her teeth. "You're such a hypocrite. If you really care about Xiangbei, you should understand what it means to him if he marries my sister. Anyone who is slightly sensible will choose to divorce him.
I've already taken the initiative to let you stay by Xiang Bei's side as a concubine, but you still don't know what's good for you. Xiang Bei has really fed his heart to the dogs. "
If the person standing in front of Pang Wan at this moment was Madam Li, she would definitely be extremely ashamed by Pang Wan's words. Not to mention being a concubine, she would even be willing to divorce immediately.
Unfortunately, Jiujiu was not Mrs. Li. She was not so stupid as to think that Pang Wan's idea was really for Xiang Bei's sake.
Xiang Bei was the new Zhuangyuan personally appointed by the Emperor. Moreover, the Emperor had directly appointed him to an important position. It was obvious how much the Emperor valued Xiang Bei. As long as Xiang Bei did not court disaster and was loyal to the Emperor, Xiang Bei's future would be limitless.
As for what Pang Wan said about Xiang Bei's official career only being protected by his father, the Imperial Tutor Pang, was purely to deceive Jiujiu.
Therefore, Jiujiu treated Pang Wan's following words as fart and did not even reply.
Pang Wan was used to being arrogant and despotic outside. This was the first time she was ignored like this. She subconsciously reached out to hit Jiujiu.
However, halfway through hitting Jiujiu, she was afraid that Xiang Bei would come back and ask about what happened. If Jiujiu told him everything in detail, Xiang Bei's impression of Pang Qing would change. She could only withdraw her hand halfway and said with a gloomy expression, "Just you wait."
In response to Pang Wan's words, Jiujiu said expressionlessly, "I'll wait and see."
Jiujiu's words angered Pang Wan so much that her face turned green.
Pang Wan left with a twisted expression.
Not long after Pang Wan left, another woman dressed in luxurious clothes and with a graceful aura came to look for Jiujiu.
Of course, this time, she was only here to customize clothes.
The woman sat on the stool that Pang Wan had just sat on. She picked up the tea that Jiujiu had someone bring over and took a sip. Her originally relaxed brows instantly furrowed.
It was obvious that she was not used to drinking Jiujiu's tea.
However, even though the woman was not used to drinking Jiujiu's tea, her good upbringing prevented her from voicing her dissatisfaction.
Although this woman and Pang Wan both came from prestigious families, it was obvious that this woman's upbringing was much better than Pang Wan's.
Jiujiu naturally had a good impression of people with good upbringing.
Jiujiu smiled faintly, "What is the matter, Miss?"
"I heard that you can customize clothes, accessories, and makeup according to your customers' requests. Is that true?"
Jiujiu smiled faintly, "Of course. May I know who Miss wants to customize clothes for?"
When she heard Jiujiu say yes, the woman's furrowed brows instantly relaxed. She carefully looked at Jiujiu and said, "It's for my mother. However, with my mother's status, it's not convenient for her to come to your place. Can you come to our residence?"
This meant that she was asking for service.
Jiujiu stood up and looked at the woman, saying, "Of course. Let's go."
Seeing that Jiujiu agreed so readily, the woman's face instantly revealed a pleasantly surprised smile. She hurriedly led Jiujiu into the carriage parked at the entrance and drove towards the west of the city.
From the woman's upbringing, Jiujiu could tell that the woman's family background was either rich or noble. However, when they arrived at the rear courtyard, Jiujiu discovered that the woman's family background could be described as illustrious.
When the woman saw that Jiujiu had arrived at the rear courtyard, she was not as surprised as the average person. Instead, she calmly followed behind her and walked forward step by step.
Seeing Jiujiu's performance, the woman's impression of Jiujiu improved greatly.
After walking through the deep and serene garden, they quickly arrived at the house.
The moment the woman opened the door, Jiujiu smelled a very strong floral fragrance. Because it was too strong, it was a little choking.
Jiujiu's sense of smell was more sensitive and she immediately coughed.
Seeing that Jiujiu was coughing non-stop, the woman stopped and turned to look at Jiujiu, saying, "When you see my mother later, no matter how uncomfortable you are, you must not cough. Do you understand?"
Jiujiu: "Okay."
Seeing that Jiujiu had agreed, the woman then led Jiujiu into the house.
There was a small room inside the house. When the door was pushed open again, Jiujiu saw the mother that the woman had mentioned.
The woman and her mother looked 80% alike. The woman's facial features were probably similar to her father's, so she looked a little cold and hard. On the other hand, her mother's facial features were incomparably gentle. Even Jiujiu could not help but praise her for her beauty.
However, the choking floral fragrance on her mother's body greatly reduced her beauty.
The woman walked up to her mother and said, "Mother, I've brought her to you."
Hearing the woman's voice, her mother slowly opened her eyes. When she saw Jiujiu, her eyes flickered and then she said, "You are the owner of the shop that customizes clothes for Gu Pianpian."
