Chapter 143: Abduction

"Don't you understand how to be gentle and considerate to women? This is different from the usual rouge and powder! Don't follow me!"

Zhang Haiyu frowned and scolded his servants to follow his footsteps, but in his heart he despised these people for being incapable of accomplishing anything and always causing trouble.

Do you still want your image to be affected after the girl heard it?!

Wen Liyu originally thought that if she walked faster and hid in the crowd, she could avoid Zhang Haiyu's entanglement. However, she didn't expect that wherever she went, people would scatter away from her as if she were a plague.

When I was selling tea eggs, I didn't realize how much people were interested in me. They were eager to come around and talk to me. But people's attitude now can only mean one thing: the fly chasing me must be quite powerful.

After a quick walk, Wen Liyu, exhausted, stopped at the edge of the bridge. She turned back impatiently, her arms folded across her chest, "Are you done yet? Stop following me! Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

Zhang Haiyu was staring at Wen Liyu's lips in a daze. Those pink lips, like two peach blossom petals, were so tempting to kiss them...

Wen Liyu felt a little uncomfortable with Zhang Haiyu's perverted look, calling it bad luck. She turned around and tried to run away without checking the almanac. She had stopped to gather her strength to get rid of this fly in one go.

After all, Zhang Haiyu was an old hand at robbing decent women. Seeing that Wen Liyu's patience seemed to have reached its limit, he immediately strode forward and covered Wen Liyu's mouth and nose with the handkerchief he had prepared long ago.

Although there are girls who compromise because of the prestige of the Zhang family in Qingshi Town, most of the girls Zhang Haiyu likes will not give in easily, so charming them and taking them away is a common method, and he is already very familiar with it.

"Don't touch me, I'll die in front of you..."

Wen Liyu only felt a pungent smell at the tip of her nose, her head felt dizzy, and her vision was unclear. She was hit... Before she completely lost consciousness, she did not forget to mutter threats.

Zhang Haiyu grinned, taking the soft threat as a flirtation, and reached out to grab Wen Liyu's limp body and picked her up sideways.

"Die in front of me? Why didn't you just jump into the river and kill yourself to prove your innocence? Women, you always say one thing and mean another. Now you're just throwing yourself into my arms..."

When the servants of the Zhang Mansion arrived, they saw that their master had already married the beautiful woman, and immediately began to flatter him: "Sure enough, no one can refuse our young master!"

Passersby sighed. Although they were used to seeing Zhang Haiyu's domineering behavior, they still couldn't bear to see such a beautiful girl being ruined like that.

"I remember this beautiful woman selling tea eggs, right? She seems to be from the same family as the soup dumpling vendor, sister-in-law. She's still young and unmarried, so pitiful..."

"This bastard will get his comeuppance sooner or later. He only knows how to kill decent women. How can God be so blind? He should just strike him to death!"

Due to the power of the Zhang family, people could only curse quietly behind their backs, and on the surface they turned their backs with a look of reluctance, turning a blind eye to everything that happened.

The night market is bustling with activity, and most of the people who visit it are those with some spare cash. For beggars, this is prime time for begging. If you're in a good mood and have some money in your pocket, giving away a few small gifts is also love, right?

Goudan and his friends originally planned to go out to the street to see if they could earn some more money at night, but they didn't expect to witness Zhang Haiyu kidnapping someone.

"She's the stall owner's wife's sister-in-law... Oh no, something's happened to her family!"

Hearing the discussions of passers-by, his face froze slightly. A drop of water should be repaid with a spring. Cheng Weiyao had helped him in front of the bun vendor during the day, and he had to repay her no matter what!

Goudan made a gesture, signaling his friends to gather around.

"Whether you're blocking the road begging or causing trouble, find a way to delay Zhang Haiyu and delay him. I'll go get some help!"

Fortunately, Cheng Weiyao had protected her family in order to gain Goudan's trust, which gave them a glimmer of hope.

And at this moment in the courtyard.

Cheng Weiyao was already getting restless. Wen Liyu's delay in returning made her feel uneasy. The beauty effect was not all advantages without disadvantages.

Although business is booming during the day, who knows, there might be hypocritical people among the diners who are taking the opportunity to get close to the sister-in-law?

"I think our courtyard is a bit small. How about adding a single room? We can't let Wei Yao sleep on the floor all the time, right? Besides, I'm restless at night and I'm afraid of disturbing A Yu's rest..."

After much deliberation, the aunt decided to use the money from the divorce to supplement the household expenses.

In fact, the main consideration was the feelings of his granddaughter Wen Liyu. He knew that she was the apple of his eye and could not get used to such a hard life.

"Mom, don't worry so much. It's fine like this. There's nothing you can't get used to. Don't spoil the children..."

The Imperial Noble Consort would never agree. She had so little money in her pocket that it was barely enough for her retirement, and as a child, she was never willing to spend her aunt's money.

The aunt did not refuse, and reached out to touch the purse on her body. She didn't know what was going on until she touched it. Her heart sank.

Cheng Wei Yao noticed her aunt's pale face, then glanced at her empty waist, and instantly realized that something was wrong.

"Grandma lost her fortune."

Cheng Weiyao's tone was affirmative, not questioning.

The Imperial Concubine was a little surprised and looked in the direction she was looking: "Did they get robbed in broad daylight?"

"Losing money can avoid disasters, losing money can avoid disasters."

The aunt's eyes flashed, and she tried to comfort herself with words, but she didn't dare to look directly into Cheng Weiyao's sharp eyes.

Cheng Weiyao frowned slightly. She had a vague guess in her heart, but her aunt's somewhat unnatural expression inadvertently confirmed her guess.

When they met after closing the stall, she vaguely remembered that her aunt's purse was still hanging on her waist. The most important thing was that the bag her aunt used to hold her money was not a purse in the conventional sense.

Considering that my aunt was in poor health, Cheng Weiyao specially prepared some medicinal herbs for her a few days ago in order to regulate her body. It was a sachet that she had sewn herself stitch by stitch.

What ordinary pickpocket would be interested in a sachet containing medicine? It was too bad for him to think it was bad luck, because only his roommates knew there were banknotes inside.

In addition, Wen Liyu suddenly suggested going shopping, so it could only be her who went. Why would she go shopping if she didn't have any money?

"I'm going to find Ayu and come back for dinner."

Cheng Weiyao stood up, her face showing a hint of seriousness. Although she was poor, she couldn't get her hands dirty. Her sister-in-law had gone astray, and she had to pull her back immediately!

"It's okay, don't be mean to her..."

The aunt still wanted to say something good about Wen Liyu, but the imperial concubine was a little confused and pursed her lips thoughtfully.

At this moment, there was a hurried knock on the door.

"Madam, something terrible has happened!"
