Quick Wear: The Bad Girl is Reborn and No Longer Confused

Chapter 312 The Concubine's Daughter Married Hastily 1 (Ancient Times)

"Rebellious girl, you have to marry me whether you want to or not!

Come, bring the young lady back to her room. No one is allowed to let her out without my permission."

"Master, why are you so angry? Tao'er, hurry up and apologize to your father. He is doing this for your own good."

Xu Tao glanced at the two people at the top without saying a word.

Xu Hong stood up angrily and left with a flick of his sleeves. Shen Ruoxue looked at the concubine in front of her, wanting to say something but stopping herself, sighed and said no more.

Xu Tao let the maid lead her back to her room, her eyes blank.

Cui Liu closed the doors and windows, her expression changing from timidity to indignation, "Miss, I feel sorry for you. It was obviously the master who was saved, so why do I have to ask you to give yourself to me when there are so many ways to repay my kindness?"

"I've been asking around about that man. He looks incredibly uncouth, just an ordinary hunter. He lost his parents when he was young, and he's the only one in his family. What can you do with such a tough fate?"

Cui Liu glanced at the young lady, and seeing that she showed no signs of anger, her eyes flickered, and she continued, "Young lady, if you want me to say it's all Madam's fault, it must be Madam who whispered in your ear. The master didn't say from the beginning that the young lady should marry him to repay his kindness. You..."

"Okay, please leave. I have a headache. Let me rest for a while."

Cui Liu still wanted to brainwash her, but when she saw the young lady's ugly face, she shut up and walked out.

Xu Tao finally had time to sort out her memories. If it weren't for her previous life, she might have really believed the maid's lies. After all, she always felt out of place in the Xu Mansion.

Her father was Xu Hong, a fifth-rank censor. He married Shen and had two sons, Xu Zhiyuan and Xu Zhian, and a daughter, Xu Zhining. She was the only illegitimate daughter born to a concubine in the mansion.

Her aunt passed away when she was seven years old, and from then on she was under the care of her stepmother.

In her stepmother's courtyard, she had to compare herself with Xu Zhining in everything, feeling that her stepmother favored her own daughter. Coupled with the instigation of the maid Cui Liu, she always felt angry.

Why is it that the names of her brothers and sisters show that they are from the same family, but her name is different from theirs?

Tao sounds like a servant's name. A proper master would never give himself such a vulgar name.

Her father was always kind to his legitimate son and daughter, but always had a stern face towards her. Her mother was also good at pretending, being kind to her in front of her father but being harsh and critical of her in private.

Her brothers and sisters also looked aloof. Every time they saw her, their smiles stopped, making it clear that they did not regard her as a relative.

In addition, Cui Liu often complained in front of her about which mistress killed the concubine, and she became more and more suspicious of the death of her aunt.

You have to know that in the entire Xu family, besides my mother, there is only one other woman, my aunt. Maybe my mother was upset when she saw that my father had another woman, so she killed my aunt. After all, who doesn't want to be favored by her husband?

The more Xu Tao thought about it, the more she felt that she had guessed the truth, and her personality became more twisted.

But what could she do? She was just a little concubine's daughter, without any foundation, so it was not easy for her to deal with a mistress who held the power of the housekeeper.

The reason for her rebellion this time was that her father accidentally fell off a cliff on his way back from Beijing and was rescued by a passing hunter. In order to repay the hunter's life-saving grace, the hunter wanted to marry her to him.

How could she possibly agree to this? She was still hoping to marry into a wealthy family so she could avenge her aunt. But she was powerless, and she wanted to seek help, but after all her thoughts, she was alone and helpless.

The concubine is just a maidservant accompanying the lady as a dowry. She is alone and has no family of her mother, which means she has no grandparents’ family. The only maidservant in the mansion that she can trust is Cui Liu. But what can she do?

After much thought, she accepted her fate and considered it as repaying the Xu family for giving birth to her.

Cui Liu, however, could not bear to see her accept her fate, and often urged her to find someone to elope with. After all, it was better than marrying an illiterate hunter. Besides, the man had a tough life, and she might not survive if she married him.

Xu Tao was not going to agree. She had learned etiquette, morality, and shame, and she would not do such a shameful thing as eloping, so she was content to wait for marriage.

Seeing that she had behaved herself, her father lifted her house arrest. Cui Liu coaxed her to go out for a walk to relax. Thinking about the dark life in the future, she agreed and decided to enjoy herself while she was still a young lady at home.

With Cui Liu's arrangement, she met a man who was gentle and elegant, and most importantly, he grabbed her when she was knocked into the water.

The young girl Mu Ai is her savior. Her father let her marry the hunter because he saved her. Now that she has her savior, she should give herself to him.

Let's leave the favor from father to my sister. She is only four years younger than me anyway, so it doesn't matter if I let that reckless man wait for another four years.

She went home to report to her father, but he was furious. Three days later, she was hastily married to the hunter.

She hated the Xu family and Tang Nian for marrying her. She was a tyrant at home and obeyed Cui Liu's words to give her the dowry for safekeeping and to eliminate her slavery.

When she learned that the Xu family was convicted and exiled, she remained indifferent and didn't even bother to look at them. In her heart, she had already repaid the Xu family's kindness, and now they owed each other nothing.

Later, when he had used up all the money, he went to Cui Liu to get back part of her dowry. However, she spoke harshly to him and refused to admit that she had taken her dowry.

She also discovered that the man who had saved her was actually Cui Liu's biological brother. She felt that she had been deceived and questioned him repeatedly.

Cui Liu simply stopped pretending and told him everything he had said and done to provoke her. She couldn't accept it for a moment and tried to fight him, but she didn't even touch the corner of her clothes and was pushed to the ground instead.

Cui Liu's family not only beat her up, but even worse wanted to sell her to a brothel. If Tang Nian had not arrived in time, she might have been sold.

After returning, she still refused to accept reality. While Tang Nian was out, she decided to report to the police. As a result, she met Cui Liu on the way. When she learned of her plan, the two of them started fighting and both fell down the hillside and died.

Xu Tao stroked her forehead. Was she a big fool? She had eyes but couldn't see, and couldn't feel with her heart?

Although her mother treated her worse than her own child, she never treated her badly in terms of food, clothing and other expenses, and treated her like a legitimate daughter. You have to know that there is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children now, so she has done very well.

Being strict with her was also to make her learn music, chess, calligraphy, painting and housekeeping. If it weren't for her mother's teaching, what could she have learned?

Her father probably asked her to marry because he anticipated that the Xu family was about to be in great trouble, and he wanted to save as many people as possible. She knew her own father well, and he was definitely not the kind of person who would ask his daughter to repay his kindness on his behalf.

He treated all the children equally. It was because of her own inner conflict that she felt that her father didn't like her at all.

As for her brothers and sisters, she thought that if she had a sister who always had a gloomy face and looked like someone owed her eight hundred taels of silver, she would not be able to get close to her.
