It was early morning before dawn, and there was not a single pedestrian on the street.
When their eyes met, the woman felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet.
She turned around immediately, trying to pretend that she didn't see anything and that nothing happened.
However, one of the two turtle slaves suddenly stopped the woman. ..
After being blocked, the woman was horrified.
"What do you want to do?" she asked with a wary look on her face.
The turtle slave didn't tell her his purpose. He just looked at the woman with a creepy look, which seemed to want to see through her completely.
When the woman was trembling with fear because of the look in her eyes, the man just asked, "Do you know that person?"
The woman immediately shook her head.
The turtle slave asked again, "Then do you know us?"
The woman still shook her head.
He then asked, "What's your name?"
This time, the woman refused to answer.
However, after she saw another person behind the turtle slave wiping her neck, she honestly reported her nickname, "My name is Bai Mudan, and I am a girl from Yunshui Pavilion. Don’t hurt me, I don’t know anything. I haven’t seen anything.”
Seeing that she was quite sensible, the man just said, "If you can really do as you say, of course we won't hurt you. This old man is a thief. He stole our things, so we beat him." , It’s a pity that we struck too hard, and it’s him who deserves to die. I don’t think you would go to the police for a thief, right?”
Hearing what the man said, Bai Mudan looked at him in disbelief. If she hadn't seen the old man before, and if she hadn't helped him before, she might have truly believed what he said.
However, the old man was obviously an honest man, and he already had about one hundred taels of silver in his hand at that time. If he was really greedy for money, he could have taken the one hundred taels of silver home and it would be enough for him to live a good life. , he didn't need to take the risk at all.
So the old man could only have been robbed by the two of them.
It's just a pity that the old man didn't save his daughter but lost his life in vain.
It's just that the poor old man's daughter has not been saved. Without her relatives, she may have no choice but to sink into this sea of misery with him.
Thinking of this, Bai Mudan's eyes flashed with sympathy.
And these two turtle slaves also saw that Bai Mudan was not easy to trick.
Therefore, they decided to use intimidation as the main method. "If you don't report to the police, we two brothers will let you go. But if we see you reporting to the police, we two brothers will definitely kill you first."
Bai Mudan was not frightened. Although she sympathized with the father and daughter, she did not dare to go against these thugs, so she could only nodded and said in panic, "Don't worry, I won't report it to the official. Please spare my life, sir."
See what Bai Mudan said. The two brothers also felt that a weak woman in the other party would not dare to report to the government again, so they really let her go.
It was still dark, but Fang Yue'er in the hibiscus brocade tent could no longer fall asleep.
She had a dream, which was very absurd.
She actually dreamed about her childhood. In the dream, she was still in the cramped loess hut with thatched tiles that leaked air from everywhere. Her mother was lying on the bed coughing non-stop.
In the dream, she took care of her mother alone and her younger brother.
Her father seemed to have been absent for as long as she could remember.
She didn't understand why she dreamed about those hard things in the past, and just when she suspected that this dream would continue to be so hard, her father suddenly appeared.
She immediately approached him happily, although she didn't understand what was so exciting about it.
However, she still felt joy at her father's appearance.
It's just that my father seemed to be worried, and he came back with big and small bags.
She obediently took those things, which included her mother's medicine, candies for her brother, and even a small silk flower.
And looking at her
When she couldn't let go of the silk flower, her father suddenly said to her, "Do you like it?"
In her dream, she nodded innocently.
However, outside the dream, she just sneered in her heart.
She has seen silk flowers in dreams, and she has experienced them too.
The impoverished family could suddenly buy so many good things.
When she was young, she thought her father had suddenly become rich.
Later she realized how difficult it was to get rich. The little money her father got was only at the cost of selling himself.
And the only compensation she received was this small silk flower.
The father in the dream said to her as before, "This is for you."
In the dream, she was as innocent and happy as ever.
Until those people appeared behind his father, looked at him, and said to his father, "Is this that girl?"
Seeing this, she understood that her father should push her out, and she understood that she would be sold again in her dream.
Maybe his father would once again hypocritically tell himself, who was unwilling to leave at that time, that he signed a living contract and that the family would see each other again. When he got rich, he would definitely come and redeem himself.
However, just when she thought she would be given up again, her father did not push her out.
He said that he was unwilling to send him away and that he regretted it. He also said that he would work hard and repay the money he borrowed from the Zhou family.
Although the Zhou family in the dream still obstructed her in every possible way, her father never let go of her hand.
Her father told her that they were a family, and no one in the family could be missing.
Although their lives were still difficult in the dream, their father changed his ways and the family worked together, and their lives became better and better.
And she also lived her life as a normal woman from a good family.
When she woke up from the dream, she still felt dazed.
And when she wiped the corners of her eyes, she discovered that there were still tears left in the corners of her eyes.
However, one look at the person next to her pillow made her wake up instantly.
After all, this is just a dream.
His father had been lazy all his life. How could he change his past and change his life contract into a death contract? How could he care about his own life and death?
Xu Tianyi on the other side opened his eyes dimly. He opened the curtain and glanced out the window, then glanced at Fang Yue'er in the bed and said, "Yue'er, why are you crying?"
Fang Yue'er sneered, "It's nothing, I just had a ridiculous dream."
Xu Tianyi couldn't sleep at this moment. He put Fang Yuer'er into his arms and said, "What did you dream about?"
Fang Yue'er said nothing.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Xu Tianyi obviously didn't care what her dream was, so after she remained silent, Xu Tianyi also changed the topic, "I have something to tell you."
Fang Yue'er couldn't help but silently raised her head and looked at Xu Tianyi, "What do you want to say?"
"Yue'er, I thought about it, we are still in the capital, and this is still the territory of the Zhou family. It doesn't look good to outsiders if we hang out like this."
Hearing Xu Tianyi's words, Fang Yue'er couldn't help but raise her head and look at Xu Tianyi again and said, "So, what do you mean? Do you want me to leave here?"
Hearing Fang Yue'er's words, Xu Tianyi just smiled, "We are leaving here, but this is only temporary. After all, there are too many rumors about us now."
"I still want to sell the house, and I have already found Zhou Yaoniang. If I want to get her back, I will definitely have to make some gestures before selling the house."
Hearing Xu Tianyi's words, Fang Yue'er just sneered, "What you said is quite good, but I am not a fool. I have left here, can I come back? Uncle, I won't embarrass you. If you don't want to be with me, I'm together, let's just get together and relax, let's work together, you give me a few bucks, and I'll leave on my own initiative."
I didn't expect Fang Yue'er to react like this. Xu Tianyi was a little dazed, but he was indeed a little bored.
Fang Yue'er, after all, no matter how good Fang Yue'er is, he doesn't lack such a woman now that he is rich.
And having her around will actually remind him of the dirty things he has done all the time. These are not pleasant memories.
It's just that he also has the leverage in her hands, so he can't just kick people off the boat if they are a grasshopper.
So when he heard him being so straightforward, he didn't react for a while.
Fang Yue'er then whispered, "Uncle, I'm here to join you anyway. Just give me some as you see fit. I don't ask for too much. It's just that it's not easy for me, a weak woman. You have to let me." Can you survive outside?"
Hearing Fang Yue'er's words, Xu Tianyi had already digested what Fang Yue'er said, and he understood that Fang Yue'er was asking for benefits from him.
So Xu Tianyi just whispered, "You better tell me, how much do you want?"
Fang Yue'er whispered, "Three thousand taels. As long as three thousand taels, I will leave here immediately. From now on, I will not appear in your life again."
Xu Tianyi was obviously unhappy when he heard this number.
"That won't work."
Fang Yue'er immediately said, "Uncle, my cousin is taking the blame for you. You said he bought you a life. Isn't this life worth your three thousand?"
Hearing Fang Yue'er's words, Xu Tianyi's eyebrows turned cold, "Aren't you involved? You know, I am cleaning up your mess for you."
Fang Yue'er looked at Xu Tianyi without saying anything, and Xu Tianyi also looked at Fang Yue'er. In the end, Fang Yue'er was the first to be defeated. She said helplessly, "Well, uncle, tell me the number."
Xu Tianyi only said, "Three hundred taels."
After hearing this number, Fang Yue'er thought about it and felt that as long as she was not in the capital, these three hundred taels would be enough for her to live her next life safely anywhere.
Of course, this premise is that she cannot reveal her wealth.
So after thinking about it, Fang Yue'er nodded, "Okay, since my uncle has said so, Yue'er will only receive three hundred taels. My uncle, happy cooperation."
After the words fell, Fang Yue'er also stood up.
At this time, Xu Tianyi had no intention of retaining Fang Yue'er.
He only asked his confidant to collect three hundred taels of silver and give it to Fang Yue'er.
After Fang Yue'er got the money, she naturally didn't want to continue wasting time in Zhouyuan's house.
