Chapter 805: Chapter 805 Trafficking Chapter 805: Chapter 805 Trafficking “Good, good!”

Old Lady Wang grinned until her teeth showed but her eyes didn’t, picking up the charcoal pencil to sign her name swiftly.

She had made a living off of human trafficking for a long time. This time with the General’s Mansion selling and buying in large quantity, her purse was getting fatter again; it would be strange if she wasn’t happy.

Both parties signed and stamped their names; the handover procedures were quickly settled.

Before leaving, Old Lady Wang asked with a grin, “Miss, when would you like the servants from the General’s Mansion to be delivered? How about I bring people over for your selection tomorrow?”

This batch of servants being sold off had emptied a large portion of the General’s Mansion, leaving many chores undone. After all, the General’s Mansion’s area was vast, it couldn’t possibly be managed by just a few servants. Over time, without care, the General’s Mansion would fall into neglect, which is something that could not be allowed to happen.

“Um! That does sound good!” Xuexue nodded; her father trusted her so much to leave the management of the General’s Mansion to her, she couldn’t disappoint him and had to quickly resolve the issue of servants in the mansion.

“Hehe! Then I shall take my leave.”

Old Lady Wang, accompanied by a large group of servants, was about to leave.

Xuexue, without lifting her head, gently called out, “Old Lady Wang!”

Old Lady Wang stopped in her tracks, turned her head, and looked at Xuexue, asking, “Miss, do you have any further instructions?”

“I have the ability to never forget a face; I hope to see all new faces tomorrow.”

The implication was that Xuexue was telling Old Lady Wang not to mix in the servants sold today with those she would bring tomorrow for selection.

Although Xuexue spoke in a light tone, the shrewd Old Lady Wang still detected the subtle threat in her words.

“Hehe…! Of course, in our line of business, the most important thing is integrity,” Old Lady Wang said with a flattering smile. The General’s Mansion was a major client; they could not afford to offend them.

Honestly, if Miss had not said these words, she indeed had that notion, after all, with the General’s Mansion needing so many servants, slipping a few dozen into the mix, the household wouldn’t notice.

However, after Xuexue’s remark, she dismissed the thought, as offending the General’s Mansion could mean a difficult time in the Capital.

“It’s best that way,” Xuexue said, then waved her hand dismissively.

Only then did Old Lady Wang turn and lead the large group of servants out of the General’s Mansion, with much pomp and circumstance.

The remaining servants felt extremely lucky, and they worked even more diligently and earnestly, afraid to slack off in the slightest, in fear of being the next to go.

Indeed, they were truly fortunate; they had just witnessed, even Xiao Cao from the Second Miss’s courtyard had been sold off.

In truth, they were well aware that Xiao Cao was actually Lady Tang’s spy; it was quite reasonable that the Second Miss sold her off.

But how did the Second Miss know?

At that moment, their respect for Xuexue grew immensely.

The Second Miss was not an ordinary country lass; she was impressive! They decided they better be cautious.

Peacock Court
Situ Qinger lay on her bed, furious to death, cursing Xuexue countless times in her heart. However, she couldn’t actually do anything to Xuexue,
for who else had the status of Eldest Legitimate Daughter.

Moreover, Xuexue held the power to manage the General’s Mansion, while her true identity was just that of a Concubine-born Daughter. To those outside who did not know the real situation, she could still bluff, claiming to be the General’s Mansion Legitimate Daughter, but within the walls of the General’s Mansion, it was an open secret, known to all.

“Orchid, go to Prince Pu’s Mansion and tell my maternal grandmother that the matter must be accomplished as soon as possible. I’m finding it more and more difficult to manage here in the General’s Mansion, I fear I cannot hold out much longer.”

“Yes, Second Miss.”
