The Transmigrated Li Jin's Daily Farming Life (Translated With Mtl)

Chapter 47

In the end, it's just a small town, and Piaoxiangyuan isn't a large brothel.

Despite her cruelty, Ling Mei's mother also defended her in her own way.

"Sister Ling, our mothers have all seen you grow up, and they have a good opinion of you.

Before you had a miscarriage, you mentioned feeling unwell and didn't show up for over a month to entertain guests."

The mother dismissed the maids and shut the door.

She entered the messy room alone, unbothered by the mess, and sat on the couch.

"Sister Ling, tell me, are men's words the least trustworthy in this world? You've heard plenty of empty promises since childhood, haven't you?"

Lingmei stood, her legs quivering slightly, but she managed to steady herself by clutching the dressing table.

All she could muster were the weakest, but most stubborn words in the world: "I don't believe it!"

The mother had expected her response since long time ago. When the previous top courtesan wanted to marry, their mothers had tried to persuade her in every way possible.

But she was the top courtesan. She had already saved enough money to buy her freedom and was financially stable. Even if she married someone from the village, she could live a peaceful life.

The girl in Piaoxiangyuan had enough money to buy her freedom and had a man waiting for her to marry. Even the brothel owner had no reason to stop her.

The outcome of being unable to persuade or stop her was that they had to watch the girl jump into the fire pit.

The rest of the story is as written in the script. The girl's husband was not a human being. After they married, he claimed the money from her as the top courtesan as his own to start a business, which ended up being a failure. In the end, she had to rely on her sewing and mending skills to make ends meet.

The mother asked, "Since you don't have any doubts about Li Jin's honesty, Lady Ling, do you still remember when Li Jin said he wanted to marry you?"

Ling Mei repeatedly tried but failed to remember when it was.

Because she preferred the present Doctor Li over the former indolent Li Jin who did not even bother to read.

However, Dr. Li and she only have one side bond, and Dr. Li never expressed the words "I want to marry you" throughout the entire process.

Doctor Li even declined the letter delivered by her maid yesterday.

Thus, Ling Mei realized that her daydreams were unfounded.

Mother looked at her expression, the mother understood that Ling Mei had comprehended the reality. However, women are not the same as men. Women likes to have time alone, and require emotional support, so she can fight for herself.

Therefore, what the mother must do is crush all of Ling Mei's unrealistic fantasies.

She presented the facts in the coldest tone, "Li Jin visited Piaoxiangyuan 57 times in a year and a half. After you became the top courtesan, he visited forty-nine times. However, he was too impoverished to afford the cheapest service and could only drink a pot of wine in the lobby."

"You might not be aware that he saved seven to eight copper plates for days, which were barely enough for a pot of wine. And those copper plates are all earned by his husband from laundry and sewing."

Ling Mei shut her eyes and acknowledged that she could no longer recall what Li Jin looked like before.

Hearing her mother's explanation, it seemed like she was referring to a stranger.
