The brothel madam was arrested for her crimes, and A-Jiao, who had yet to receive any clients, was sent back to her aunt’s home by the authorities.
Sixteen-year-old A-Jiao had fair skin, cherry lips, could play the qin and sing, and knew how to massage and knead shoulders. Yet, because she had consumed a sterilization potion, no one showed any interest in her.
Madam Zhao from next door gritted her teeth and spent ten taels of silver to take her in, making her a concubine for her grandson, Zhao Yanping.
Before Madam Zhao passed away, she held onto her grandson’s hand and repeatedly instructed him:
“She is just something I bought to teach you about these matters. Before you take a proper wife, you can use her. But when you truly discuss marriage, sell her off in advance. Don’t keep her around to trouble my rightful granddaughter-in-law!”
Zhao Yanping: “Alright.”
Later, Zhao Yanping brought A-Jiao and their child to his grandmother’s grave to pay their respects.
“Grandmother, from now on, A-Jiao is your rightful granddaughter-in-law. What do you think?”
