The wife of a marquis died tragically and was divorced. After her rebirth, she killed people everywh

The next day, some of the famous ladies and young ladies in Yangzhou City all dressed up and attended Madam Liu's flower-viewing banquet.

?

Everyone was confused and didn't know why Mrs. Liu suddenly invited them here.

?

But this did not stop everyone from talking and laughing.

?

After all, this is a great opportunity to make connections, and some young women of marriageable age often need to take this opportunity to find a good husband.

?

So even if Madam Liu was just bored and asked them to come and entertain her, these young ladies were very happy to come.

?

"Mrs. Liu, you haven't held a banquet for a while? As soon as I received your invitation, I turned down my nephew's hundred-day banquet without saying a word and insisted on coming."

?

An official's wife was smiling and trying to curry favor with Madam Liu. Her husband was now the new deputy judge of the Fang family, Lord He.

?

Madam Liu pretended to be surprised and looked at the other party. "That's my fault! Madam He even turned down her nephew's hundred-day banquet for me. It seems that Madam He still has me in her heart!"

?

"Of course! But Madam Liu, could it be that you are suddenly hosting a banquet today just to see your daughter?"

?

Apart from this, Madam He could not think of any other possibilities. After all, there were not many masters in the Liu Mansion, and the only one who was eligible for marriage now was Madam Liu's daughter.

?

But Mrs. He had heard someone mention before that Mrs. Liu wanted to keep her daughter Ji for a few more years!

?

But if it wasn't for her daughter's wedding, Mrs. He couldn't understand why Mrs. Liu was so eager to host a banquet?

?

Mrs. He was not the only one confused; other wives of officials also looked over curiously.

?

Madam Liu smiled and said, "I won't keep you in suspense. I invited you all here today, firstly, to build relationships, and secondly, I have something good to tell you."

?

"What good news?" Mrs. He asked anxiously.

?

The other wives also kept asking questions.

?

Only a few of Mrs. Liu's close friends couldn't help but laugh at her, "She said she wouldn't keep us in suspense, but she still kept us in suspense, and made so many of us interrogate her!"

?

Madam Liu glanced at her best friend angrily, but she wasn't really angry. "Well, didn't I tell you? You guys are the ones who are impatient!"

?

"Actually, I asked you to come here today because I want to invite you to participate in a charity auction!"

?

Auctions were still very uncommon in Yangzhou City, so most wives of officials were unaware of them.

?

But Mrs. He's parents' home is in the capital, so she naturally knew something.

?

"Madam Liu, are you talking about the auction in the capital? An item is sold through bidding, and the highest bidder wins!"

?

"That's right!" Mrs. Liu admitted readily. With Mrs. He's advice, she saved herself a lot of time explaining the auction.

?

It's just a charity in name only, Mrs. He has never seen it.

?

"So what's the meaning of this charity auction?"

?

A lady asked curiously.

?

Mrs. Liu explained, "Charity auctions, as the name suggests, are auction proceeds minus a portion of the costs, and the rest is donated to charity! For example, building roads, building dams, or helping poor students with their studies."

?

Upon hearing this, the eyes of many wives of officials lit up. This was a good idea. Once it was made public, it would add a strong highlight to the political achievements of their husbands.

?

Of course, some husbands who are not officials also think that spending a little money to gain the reputation of a good person is of great benefit.

?

What's more, this was arranged by Madam Liu. After it was done, wouldn't their relationship with Madam Liu be closer?

?

Naturally, the smart people present would not refuse such a good opportunity that kills two birds with one stone.

?

"I want to participate!"

?

"I want one too! When does the charity auction start? I'll go back and prepare the money."

?

……

?

Seeing everyone's active participation, Madam Liu nodded and said, "The time will be set in these few days! Once the time is confirmed, I will inform you one by one."

?

Afterwards, everyone chatted and laughed for a while, ate together, and then went their separate ways.

?

Xie Liuzheng waited at home for a long time, until noon, when she received a message from her mother sent by Mrs. Liu.

?

"My wife, please rest assured, Miss Xie! Once the date of the charity auction is set, please let her know. My wife will notify the other ladies immediately."

?

Hearing this, Xie Liuzheng's heart finally settled down.

?

She handed Ping Mama a bulging purse and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Ping Mama. This is a small token of my appreciation. Oh, and I just got an enamel hairpin with bright colors, which is perfect for your daughter. I'd like to trouble Ping Mama to bring it back for her."

?

As the saying goes, one should be grateful to those who have eaten one's food and one should be grateful to those who have received one's gifts.

?

Mother Ping got the benefit herself. Although Xie Liuzheng did not give any benefit to the lady, she gave the young lady this valuable enamel hairpin. She pretended to refuse for a while, but finally accepted it.

?

Just as she walked out of Xie's house, Ping's mother opened her purse and was immediately shocked.

?

If it was just a few taels of silver, she could have accepted it, but Xie Liuzheng was too generous and gave her a full ten taels of silver.

?

Naturally, Ping's mother didn't dare to embezzle the money.

?

After returning, she handed everything, including the enamel hairpin, to Madam Liu, "This is a gift from Miss Xie, please take a look, Madam!"

?

Madam Ping glanced through it casually, and then asked Madam Ping to hold the purse, "This is a gift from Liu Zheng, you take it! As for the hairpin she gave to the young lady, you can give it to the young lady for me."

?

Although Mrs. Liu was also surprised that Xie Liuzheng was so generous, she accepted the gift with peace of mind when she thought about the enormous wealth of the Xie family and the fact that Xie Liuzheng needed her help.

?

After all, without her help, it would be questionable whether the charity auction could be held!

?

What's more, I have brought so many guests to her, so it is only right that she should show some respect to me.

?

But Mrs. Liu still felt that Xie Liuzheng was no ordinary person.

?

She had never heard that Xie Liuzheng had been to the capital, but Xie Liuzheng seemed to be very familiar with some of the trendy things in the capital.

?

Of course, because of Marquis Pingxi, Mrs. Liu didn't think much about it.

?

She just felt a little sorry, "What a pity for that person with such a keen mind!"

?

At this time, the nanny beside her asked in confusion, "Madam, why do you feel sorry for Miss Xie? Who in Yangzhou City doesn't know Xie Liuzheng? Moreover, the Xie family is the richest family in Yangzhou City. Miss Xie has nothing to do with pity!"

?

If she is pitiful, how does the nanny think they should live?

?

Seeing this, Madam Liu smiled and explained, "Nanny, you see Xie Liuzheng is now in a good position, but once her mother marries into the Pingxi Marquis's mansion, she will become a burden!"

?

"Even if she has money, a family like the Pingxi Marquis will never allow her to come to the capital with him!"

?

"Isn't this a pity for her exquisite heart?"

?

Who would have thought that the Xie family, which was once favored by everyone, has now become prosperous, but for Xie Liuzheng, this is not a good thing.
