Chapter 595: Treat Her Well
Pang Hanwei knew that it was not easy to marry into such a high-class family.
However, she thought that this person had come to her door so politely because he was interested in her family’s wealth and wanted to marry her as his wife, no?!
With her 500,000 taels of property, she could only buy her way into becoming a concubine?
If it was the Crown Prince’s concubine, she would have accepted it, but he was only the son of a Prince…
Pang Hanwei tugged at her handkerchief.
Alright, even if he was a prince’s son, he was still unattainable…
Now that this opportunity was placed in front of her, if she did not cherish it, who knew if there would be a better choice in the future?
Could it be that she wanted to be like her own mother, marry an ordinary man and face that cowardly face all day long?
“I want to be an honored concubine.” Pang Hanwei agreed rather straightforwardly.
When Zhao Xuzhi heard that, he smiled. “Of course.”
Pang Hanwei straightened her back slightly and explained the process of taking her in as a concubine to Zhao Xuzhi. After that, she happily sent him off.
When the old steward of the Bai residence heard that Pang Hanwei was going to be a concubine, he almost fainted.
She wanted to be a concubine. Unless it was to be a concubine for the Emperor, it would be considered precious. Becoming someone else’s concubine… Was that not the same as humiliating herself?!
Yes, the son of a prince had said that he would arrange for the Bai family to supply the imperial palace incense, but would the Bai family not be completely gone?!
When the old master was alive, why did he want to get his daughter a husband?
It was because he wanted the Bai family to live on!
Now that the Bai family had a descendant, who would have thought that she would be so insensible as to really make the Bai family lose its last descendant!
The shopkeepers in the Bai family’s businesses were mostly loyal people. They had all been groomed by the old master when he had built up the family.
Initially, although Pang Hanwei’s surname was not from the Bai family, she could change it. She had the blood of the Bai family in her body, and that was enough!
However, who would have thought that she did not care about the family’s legacy at all!
Not long after Pang Hanwei spread the news that she was going to get married and become a concubine, the shopkeepers came to her door one by one.
They advised her earnestly.
“In the past, everyone in Xun County pointed their fingers at me when they saw me. They said that I was bad luck, a bad omen. Now that I am lucky and have become the head of the Bai family, they’re saying that my Mother was terrible and that I am just like her. In the future, even if I have a husband, I will not be able to live in peace. They will always come and slander me. Now that I am Zhao Xuzhi’s concubine, I am also a member of the royal family. When the time comes, who will dare to say anything?!” Pang Hanwei snorted slightly.
She knew what she wanted.
She had plenty of silver. With silver, Zhao Xuzhi would have to treat her well in the future!
In the future, even if she gave birth to a son or a daughter, they would all be of the Zhao family’s bloodline. She would be able to have her name in the genealogy book, right?
No one else would be able to climb the royal family’s tree!
The shopkeepers were rendered speechless and their hearts turned cold.
They were already suspicious of her, but now, they had second thoughts.
Giving away the Bai family’s wealth to someone else?
All of this was the result of their hard work!
The shopkeepers understood what was going on. When they went back, they did something big.
Pang Hanwei did not know much about business matters. There were many people who had returned the incense. Many documents and contracts had to be signed by Pang Hanwei. She failed to see anything wrong and stamped them.
In just a few days, half of the Bai family’s property was gone.
The property had been taken away by the shopkeepers. These shopkeepers had only been hired, they were not servants. Now that they had turned hostile, they were rude to Pang Hanwei.
She was also a little dumbfounded. When she found out that the owners of several of her shops had changed, she was completely stunned.
However, how would she treasure the property she had obtained for nothing?
Although her shops were gone, the Bai family still had lands and silver. These things were enough to support her for a lifetime.
