Chapter 446: Chapter 447 Marrying Her Off_1 Chapter 446: Chapter 447 Marrying Her Off_1 Xiao Lian hurried to inquire about Chen Yuhua, “Miss Chen, are you feeling unwell? Shall I call for a doctor to take a look?”

Chen Yuhua waved her hand, “It’s fine, I just need to rest a bit. There’s no need for alarm.”

As the two of them were talking inside the room, another young maid came in, her face showing difficulty as she said, “Miss Chen, Mrs. Chen Wang just went to the small kitchen and took half a ginseng with her.”

Chen Yuhua was no longer surprised, “Let her be. She’s angry with me right now, and I won’t hold it against her.”

The maid wanted to complain a bit more but seeing that Chen Yuhua intended to keep the peace, she couldn’t say much else, only letting out an aggrieved remark, “Miss, you’re just too easy to bully.”

Chen Yuhua couldn’t help but smile wryly. Wasn’t she doing this for the sake of family harmony? After all, this woman was someone her brother held dear in his heart. She could endure it, and it wasn’t just her thinking this way—weren’t the Chen Parents thinking the same?

As for the ginseng that was taken, it was ultimately intended for her brother’s health, so Chen Yuhua also let it go.

However, it was evident that Chen Yuhua had overestimated Wang Yufang’s conscience. No sooner had she taken the ginseng than she went straight to a pharmacy to sell it, making several dozen pieces of silver.

Wang Yufang padded her purse, instantly feeling content, yet she still cursed out loud, “I must have been blind to be stuck with such a brainless thing. When Qiao Muniang really stops caring about her, I won’t even let her through the door if she wants to come back to the Chen Family!”

Saying this, Wang Yufang passed a silver shop. She had spotted a hairpin in there earlier, and now with silver in hand, naturally, she went in to buy it first, as she was a woman of means.

Having chosen a fine hairpin, Wang Yufang’s heart finally felt at ease. She inserted it into her hair, adjusted her makeup, and began to sway her hips, ready to head home. But just as she reached the corner, she saw a man dressed in a lavish robe being kicked out of Mei Garden.

Wang Yufang was dumbfounded. How could those at Mei Garden be so bold, daring to throw out any rich and noble gentleman?

The man was still cursing something, and out of curiosity, Wang Yufang moved closer to listen. She heard him scold, “What nonsense, she’s nothing but an actress, still up for sale. It’s her good fortune that I fancy her. Now I want to marry her and make her a concubine, and you dare to kick me out? What’s Chen Yuhua but trash? I could buy a dozen like her at Wanhua Building!”

At the mention of the three words “Chen Yuhua,” Wang Yufang’s eyes suddenly lit up, and the wheels in her mind started turning rapidly. Considering that Chen Yuhua was already cast aside by Qiao Muniang, her chances of making money in the future weren’t great. Would it not be better to sell her, no, “marry” her off now? After all, her reputation was still intact here, and these gentlemen surely still coveted her.

With this in mind, Wang Yufang immediately ran up to the gentleman, putting on a smile as she said, “Oh, this esteemed gentleman wishes to marry our Yuhua? Why bother discussing with the people of Mei Garden? They can’t make decisions for Chen Yuhua. If you’re looking, you have to find someone from her own family, like me!”

The gentleman originally looked like he didn’t want to pay attention to Wang Yufang, as wealthy people are often proud, but when he heard the last part, he suddenly paused.

“Are you Chen Yuhua’s?”

“I am her sister-in-law! I call the shots at home. If you want to marry her, speaking to these people from the acting troupe is useless. She hasn’t sold herself to Mei Garden. In the end, it all depends on what I think,” Wang Yufang said with a hint of pride.

“You can make the decision?” the big master asked doubtfully.

“Of course! However, our Yuhua isn’t someone to be married off to just anybody. We’ll have to see what you, the big master, have in mind,” Wang Yufang hinted.

The big master had been quite smitten with Chen Yuhua already, especially since her portrayal of Little Dragon Girl was so ethereal and divine, like a fairy. What normal man wouldn’t want to desecrate her? Hearing Wang Yufang’s words, he was naturally forthright.

“Just name your price, as long as you can deliver this girl to my house.”

“Alright! Just wait, I’ll take care of it!” Wang Yufang assured, patting her chest.

The big master was secretly thrilled. There were quite a few men in Chatu Town eyeing Chen Yuhua, with several coming by daily, hoping to buy a night with her. The owner of Mei Garden, however, was impervious to offers, sending away anyone who showed that kind of interest, no matter the price. He had been feeling quite frustrated, but now it seemed like a stroke of luck had come his way—a treasure fallen into his lap!

Muniang listened to the young maidservant talk about Wang Yufang’s visit that day, then went to take a look at Chen Yuhua. Her complexion was indeed a bit paler; it seemed Wang Yufang’s visit had quite the effect on her.

“Next time I won’t let her in, so you don’t always have to put up with her. If she keeps provoking you like this, your illness is likely to get worse!” Muniang said irritably.

Chen Yuhua, seeing Muniang come in, forced a smile: “Let’s forget it. It’s my fault for always taking things to heart. Her words are harsh, but after all, she is my brother’s wife. If we don’t let her in, wouldn’t that be slapping my brother’s face? Besides, I rely on her to keep me posted on the family matters. I need to know what’s going on at home.”

The Chen parents were busy every day with their tofu shop business and had to make tofu at night, so naturally, they couldn’t often visit Chen Yuhua. Chen Dashu was “bedridden,” and need not be mentioned. The only free person in the Chen family was Wang Yufang, who was “looking after Chen Dashu” at home, so she came to see Chen Yuhua from time to time.

Muniang sat down beside Chen Yuhua’s bed, holding her hand, “Your sister-in-law talks nonsense; don’t overthink it because of her. I took in these female actors to have precautions for the future. I won’t miss out on any roles that are due to you.”

Chen Yuhua chuckled lightly: “I understand Lady’s intentions, and I never overthink. The decision rests in Lady’s hands. Even if Lady really has no use for me anymore, I won’t hold a grudge, after all, Lady has given me so much already.”

These words were Chen Yuhua’s true feelings. She had humble wishes indeed, only hoping her family was harmonious and safe. Now that she had the funds for her brother’s treatment and her parents had their hopes, she didn’t have many other desires. Whether she could continue being a star performer was no longer important to her.

Muniang laughed, “Rest assured, even if you’re willing to step down from the stage, I couldn’t bear to let go of a promising seedling like you. I wouldn’t have stopped The Condor Heroes specially for you if I didn’t want you to continue once you’re recovered. Just focus on getting well.”
