Chapter 1429: Cuihua Building
Perhaps she'd drunk too much, as Madam Wang began to talk more and more.
"That damned procuress, she clearly promised Mother she'd take good care of you and wouldn't let you take clients. Only then did Mother make this difficult decision.
"Mother, you're still lying. What kind of brothel raises women who don't take clients?"
"Your mother is a simple woman, she doesn't understand these things."
"A simple woman, yet she turned her own daughter into a prostitute, hahaha...! It's truly laughable." At this point, Madam Wang burst into laughter, clearly drunk.
If she were sober, she would definitely not talk to the Old Madam like this.
Even so, even between mother and daughter, being sold out repeatedly by the other would undoubtedly create a rift.
The man signaled to the Old Madam: "Mother, it seems eldest sister is drunk."
"Hmm…"
Looking at Madam Wang, who was laughing, she had now fallen asleep on the table.
"So, have you found a buyer?"
"Of course, otherwise how would I dare to order so much good food?"
The man looked quite pleased; earlier, he had quietly gone to the Qinger Building to find a buyer midway.
At first, the procuress didn't want to bother with him, but later, he let it slip and mentioned that Madam Wang was the former Princess Consort of War Prince. Upon hearing this, the procuress didn't hesitate and agreed immediately, even sending someone to follow him here to Cuihua Building.
"Great, where is the person?"
"Afraid that eldest sister might see and get suspicious, they're waiting in the next room!"
"Did you agree on how much silver?"
"Yes, your son isn't stupid, this amount." He said, holding up five fingers.
"Now your eldest sister is useless, getting this amount is already pretty good." The Old Madam nodded and said: "While she's drunk, quickly call them over to take her away, or else she'll wake up and cause a scene."
The woman by the side overheard her husband and mother-in-law's conversation, and only then did she realize that her mother-in-law and husband were plotting to sell Madam Wang. How cruel, even calculating against their own daughter.
"Husband."
"What is it?"
"You won't sell me someday, will you?"
"What are you saying? Is your husband that kind of person?" The man, who was about to go out and call people over to take Madam Wang away, immediately stopped and turned back to lash out in anger.
"You've sold your sister; perhaps one day you'll sell me too?"
"How's that the same! You are a great asset to our family, ensuring our lineage continues. Besides, keeping a woman as filthy as eldest sister in our home will only make us a laughingstock. Do you really want our son to go out and have people point at him, saying his aunt is a prostitute?"
"Of course not."
"Exactly, once I get rid of her, our home can be peaceful. Plus, you'll get silver for jewelry!"
Hearing her husband say there'd be silver for her jewelry, the woman fell silent. She wasn't standing up for Madam Wang, just deeply affected by living in such a family.
She used to look down on Madam Wang, a prostitute holding such a lofty attitude in front of them. But now, thinking about it, Madam Wang was quite pitiful, being consecutively sold out twice by her own mother and brother.
After hearing her son and daughter-in-law's words,
the Old Madam lost her patience: "Son! Stop dawdling and go call them over quickly."
"Okay!" The man stepped out hurriedly from the room.
