Because so many people came from Yejiacun, people from Dujiacun also joined in the excitement and crowded around, making Dujiacun house packed with people three layers deep.
The slave trader stared wide-eyed at Du Pengzhi, "You're a scholar?"
Du Pengzhi looked at the people surrounding him with a gloomy expression, remaining silent.
Ye Panjiu spoke up for him, "This is the famous Scholar Du from Dujia Village, how could you not know him?"
The slave trader scratched his head, "I've never seen a scholar sell his daughter before."
Du Pengzhi's face was as black as ink. The reason he secretly sold his daughter was that he didn't want everyone to know about it.
Selling one's daughter for personal gain is not illegal, but it is shameful to talk about it, and if it gets out of hand, it will definitely affect his career.
"Who said I was going to sell my daughter? Do you have any proof?"

Du Pengzhi was immediately alarmed. He didn't want to lose face everywhere, just for six taels of silver.
Besides, if that wicked woman really comes to guard the Du family every day, who knows what she might discover and spread it around, then his career will be completely ruined!
“We’re not unreasonable people. Since my sister-in-law is pleading like this, we have no choice but to grant her wish.” A clear and melodious voice rang out, not loud, but it drowned out all the other voices.
A woman wearing a white veiled hat walked out, her steps neither fast nor slow, exuding a unique charm.
This person is Du Pengzhi's younger sister, Du E'li.
