Seeing this, Yun Xiao frowned again. Seeing Han Da Sao's expression, Steward Liu asked directly.
"Whatever this lady's request is, she may simply state it..."
“Well, I know where Han Yiyi is. I can take you there, but you have to give me fifty taels of silver…”
The reason why Sister-in-law Han asked for fifty taels of silver was because she was provoked by the amount of silver that Manager Wang had taken out when she was at the Han family.
However, she hadn't originally planned to ask for so much money when she came to Han Yiyi. Of course, she didn't think Han Yiyi had that much silver. But the person in front of her was different; he looked even richer than that man surnamed Wang.
When the three heard that Sister-in-law Han was asking for fifty taels of silver, they couldn't help but scrutinize the person in front of them. Not only was she disheveled, but her clothes were also so dirty that they were unbearable to look at.
Such a person actually asked for fifty taels of silver directly. Fifty taels of silver was nothing to Yun Xiao and his two companions, but it was undoubtedly a huge sum of money for a peasant woman.
For these farmers, even five taels of silver might not be enough to save in a year. This woman was just showing them the way, yet she asked for fifty taels. The three of them couldn't help but feel that something was strange.
When Sister-in-law Han saw that the three men did not agree after she finished speaking, but instead looked her over, she thought that they did not believe her words, and she became a little anxious, so she hurriedly spoke up.
"I'm not lying to you, I really am Han Yiyi's sister-in-law. If you stand here and don't go to save her, she will definitely be violated by that guy surnamed Wang..."
“That guy surnamed Wang…”
Upon hearing Sister-in-law Han's words, the three of them changed their expressions simultaneously. Yun Xiao and Steward Liu exchanged a glance and hurriedly asked.
"Who is that guy surnamed Wang...?"
"He's a very rich man. He said his surname is Wang..."
Sister-in-law Han was frightened by the coldness in Yun Xiao's voice, and for a moment she began to stammer.
"Manager Liu, give her fifty taels of silver..." he said, then turned to Sister-in-law Han.
"Lead the way first..."
Sister-in-law Han took the fifty taels of silver notes handed to her by Steward Liu and hurriedly stuffed them into her bosom. Upon seeing this, Steward Liu couldn't help but warn her.
"If you lie, not only will you not get the fifty taels of silver, but you will also be sent to the yamen..."
"No, no, I'll lead the way for you, I'll lead the way for you right now..." he said, and ran towards Han Family Village.
Before leaving, Yun Xiao subconsciously glanced at the two children in the yard, then composed himself and spoke to Aunt Zhang.
"Auntie, before Madam Han returns, I'll trouble you to look after the two children..." As she spoke, she gave Steward Liu a wink.
Manager Liu understood and hurriedly took out another silver note from his sleeve to give to Aunt Zhang.
Seeing this, Aunt Zhang quickly stepped aside, saying, "No, no, you should go find Yi Yi quickly. Don't worry about the two children..."
Seeing that Han Yiyi was determined and eager to find her, Yun Xiao gave up. He thought that Han Yiyi had good judgment and that the person he had chosen was indeed of good character.
At this moment, Yun Xiao no longer cared about the dirt on Sister-in-law Han's body, and directly let her into the carriage. The task of driving was naturally left to the grudge shopkeeper Tong.
He didn't understand how he ended up doing the job of a stable boy.
"Now explain the matter concerning that person surnamed Wang in detail..."
Inside the carriage, Sister-in-law Han appeared uneasy, unsure of what to do with her hands and feet. However, upon hearing Steward Liu's question, she finally spoke.
Even if you speak haltingly, at least make sure you explain everything clearly.
Upon hearing that the man's surname was Wang and that he wanted to do chili business with Han Yiyi, the two immediately concluded that the man was Manager Wang.
But when I heard that he actually wanted to marry Han Yiyi, or rather, take her as a concubine, since he already had a wife, and Han Yiyi would definitely disagree, then I must have thought of some way to scheme against her when Han Yiyi was summoned back to Han Family Village.
As for what method he used, that's self-evident; the only question is whether he knew how to use a gun or drug him...
Thinking of this, a storm raged in Yun Xiao's eyes. Tong, the shopkeeper driving the carriage, naturally heard the conversation inside and couldn't help but curse.
"That old bastard, that shameless beast, doesn't he know how old he is? He could be Han Meizi's father..." He cursed, then lashed the horse's rump with a whip. The horse, in pain, quickened its pace.
Meanwhile, the Han family looked at Han Yiyi, who had already fainted. Her skin was so smooth it looked like it could be pinched to release water. Even if she had given birth, they wouldn't mind. Besides, she still had those invaluable chili peppers in her hand.
Thinking of this, Manager Wang wanted to go forward and hug Han Yiyi, thinking that he should quickly put her on the carriage and get back to the courtyard in town to get things done, so as to avoid any unforeseen complications.
Before his hand could even touch Han Yiyi, it was stopped by someone—none other than Brother Han.
Of course, Brother Han stopped Manager Wang not because he had a change of heart and changed his mind, but because Manager Wang had not yet given him the one hundred taels of silver he had promised.
“My lord, we’ve taken care of this for you. Look at the hundred taels of silver we saved…”
When Manager Wang saw that his hand was blocked, a look of displeasure flashed in his eyes. Hearing Brother Han's words, his eyes were filled with disdain and mockery. He thought to himself, "He has a god of wealth right under his nose and doesn't even know how to cherish him. He's actually worried about a pittance. What a fool!" However, he didn't show it on his face. He took out a hundred-tael silver coin from his pocket and handed it to Brother Han.
Looking at the silver notes in his hand, Brother Han's hand trembled slightly. He had become a rich man. He had finally become a rich man. After regaining his senses, he spoke to Manager Wang.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir. Let me help you, girl, get on the carriage..."
As he spoke, he hurriedly stuffed the silver notes into his sleeve and bent down to hug Han Yiyi. Just as his hand touched Han Yiyi, his sleeve was grabbed by Manager Wang.
"No need, I can do it myself..."
"Okay, okay, I understand, I understand. Please do it yourself, sir..." he said, then hurriedly stepped aside and took out the silver notes in his hand to examine them carefully.
The next moment, the person in front of them collapsed softly to the ground. Looking at Manager Wang lying on the ground, Brother Han was a little confused, not understanding how someone who was fine just now could suddenly fall to the ground.
So he quickly squatted down to check...
"My lord, are you alright? What happened to you..." Before she could finish her sentence, she felt a sharp pain and numbness all over her body. Then, in the next instant, she lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground...
