Although Princess Hongnong suggested otherwise, Qing Gu eagerly kept the people and items she brought along.
To reassure her, Qing Gu even handed over their indenture contracts to Ren Hui.
Ren Hui held the box and went to see Princess Hongnong, saying softly, "I inquired, and these are servants purchased by the Zhao Family in the past two months. They've been trained for a while, although they were originally private servants from various households. Initially, the Great General intended to release them to farming, but some were unwilling or unable to farm, so they sold themselves again at the human market."
These were originally intended by Mrs. Wang for Zhao Erlang.
She had it all planned out: once Zhao Hanzhang married and the year passed, she would arrange a marriage for Zhao Erlang.
Once both siblings were married, it wouldn't be suitable for their families to live together anymore.
