Chapter 709: Chapter 709 Buying a House Chapter 709: Chapter 709 Buying a House “It’s actually quite funny, madam, that title was self-proclaimed by Lady Tang. My father had already explained this issue.”

“What?”

Madam Xie looked incredulous, glancing at Xuexue and then at Mo Xiaoqiang, “Even prominent households can have such confusion?”

Xuexue smiled faintly, “Prominent households have plenty of dirty secrets that they don’t want exposed! On the surface, they appear benevolent, but behind the scenes, who knows how many shameful things they’ve done. Besides, for a woman, who wouldn’t want the position of the Main Wife? Especially in big households, where legitimate and illegitimate offspring are distinctly separated, and the status disparity is particularly large. There are many benefits to being the Main Wife! The position of a concubine, to put it nicely, is the woman of a general, but bluntly, it’s only slightly more noble than that of a servant.”

Mo Xiaoqiang was completely bewildered, “What is Xuexue talking about? I don’t understand at all?”

Xuexue said, “You guys don’t need to understand these matters too deeply. Just stay at the General’s Mansion for a few days, and in a few days, I will send you out.”

Madam Xie asked curiously, “What happened? Are you sending us back to Mo Family Village?”

Upon hearing this, Chuner immediately ran to Xuexue and started shouting, “No, no, we don’t want to leave, we want to stay with sister.”

Xuexue hugged her and said, “Silly girl, we’re not going back to Mo Family Village. I bought a residence outside, I’m just sending you there to live.”

“Really?”

“Really, when has sister ever lied to Chuner.”

“That’s great, we have our own residence in the Capital, we won’t have to live at the mercy of others anymore.” Despite Chuner’s young age, when she was at the Mo family, she always had to live by gauging others’ moods. At such a young age, she had learned to observe words and moods, and she knew that in the General’s Mansion, some servants did not like them.

Although Qingyuo Pavilion had changed all its servants, all bought anew by Situ Yongjie from a human traffiker, occasionally, they still ran into other household servants who, because they bullied them for being country folks, spoke without reservation, and from time to time, behind Xuexue’s back, they would mock them a few times.

Madam Xie and Mo Xiaoqiang were quite shocked, and asked in unison, “Xuexue, we heard that residences in the Capital are exceptionally expensive. How can we afford it?”

“Mother, don’t worry, if Xuexue lacks anything, it’s not money for buying a house.”

Mo Xiaoqiang and Madam Xie exchanged glances, then turned back to ask her, “Xuexue, just how much silver do we actually have?”

Xuexue’s mouth twitched into a smile, “It should be enough.”

Madam Xie and Mo Xiaoqiang only knew she had opened a flower shop in Jingshan Town; they were completely unaware that she operated a brothel, and of course, they didn’t know about her other assets.

In fact, Xuexue’s businesses, whether the flower shop or the brothel, or even other ventures, had begun to slowly expand throughout Moli Country.

Yet all of it was just beginning, and it would still be some time before they saw any profits.

Having been frugal all her life, Madam Xie was not in favor of Xuexue spending recklessly and said, “Xuexue, don’t waste silver. We have the General’s Mansion to stay in while in the Capital; why buy another residence? It’s such a waste of money!”

“We can’t depend on the General’s Mansion forever. Having our own residence is always safer,” Xuexue responded.

Mo Xiaoqiang also nodded repeatedly and said, “Indeed, dear wife. Last time, we were mysteriously taken to work in the kitchen–it was so dangerous! With our own house, we won’t need to fear being grabbed in the middle of the night to work.”

Chuner pulled on Madam Xie’s sleeve and said, “Mother, please, don’t criticize sister. Sister is doing this for our own good, so we don’t have to live at the whims of others.”
