Bai Qiong was bought for two taels of silver to bring good luck to a sick old man. He was no longer capable of sex, and treated her fairly well.
But the second madam of the household was cruelly demanding, beating and scolding her at the slightest provocation.
For the sake of her sick father and the deed of sale that had been sold, Bai Qiong endured the humiliation.
She hoped her father would live a long, healthy life, the old man would hurry up and die, and her deed of sale would be returned to her.
She kept hoping, and finally the day came.
The old man took pity on Bai Qiong, who was so young yet had become his concubine. Before he died, he told her to ask the second madam for her deed and some silver, then leave the residence on her own.
Bai Qiong was overjoyed.
She went straight to ask for them.
On the way out, the maids in the household were all talking.
"The household's changed overnight. The eldest young master has taken control of the accounts, and the steward is going over the books!"
Bai Qiong was shocked.
She hurried to find out what was happening.
When she reached the main hall, the usually arrogant and overbearing second madam was sprawled on the floor, wailing. The rarely seen eldest young master sat proudly in the seat of honor.
His face was full of defiance.
When he spotted Bai Qiong, he raised an eyebrow and asked,
"What is it?"
Bai Qiong didn't dare lie.
"This servant... was ordered to collect her deed..."
The eldest young master chuckled.
"Ordered by whom?"
"The old master."
The air froze for a moment.
Then the young master seated high above them spoke softly.
"I am the old master."
"Whose orders are you following?"
Bai Qiong's legs went weak. She hurriedly knelt on the floor, a fawning smile on her face.
"Young Master, please don't make things difficult for this servant. I'm only a maid who was brought in to bring good luck. The old master... the late old master told me to collect my deed and leave before he died. I suppose he thought I was too rough in caring for him. I have no face to stay here and eat without earning my keep, so please... Master, let me leave."
A pale hand lifted Bai Qiong's chin.
The man looked down at her from above.
He studied her face.
"You were brought in to bring good luck, and you brought my father to his death. Now you want to leave?"
