From the moment she stepped out of the city gate, Jiang Qingwan realized something was wrong.
But the carriage is going too fast; if you jump out of it, you will definitely get injured.
Moreover, she also wanted to see what the person behind the carriage was up to.
She never expected that this person would be the Qin family head.
In a daze, a man's hand reached out, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her down sharply.
Caught off guard, she stumbled as she was pulled, twisting her ankle as she landed, and gasped in pain.
Seeing her in such a sorry state, Qin Gong felt a sense of relief.
"Jiang Qingwan, you really are my good daughter-in-law. How dare you scheme against me and use a bad luck charm on me, making me lose so much money. You tell me how to settle this score."
This was the first time Jiang Qingwan had ever seen Qin Jiagong like this.
Like a thug, without the feigned authority of an elder, his features are ferocious and sinister.
After five years together, this family is really good at pretending.
It's also her fault for being too confident.
He thought that he was keeping the Qin family's house under control, and that no matter what the Qin family's fate was, they wouldn't cause any trouble.
I didn't give them a detailed divination.
Looking at this person's face now, it has changed drastically.
She spoke coldly, "How do you want to settle this?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Gong was so angry that he smashed the teacup in his hand.
"So it really was you who tricked me into losing money?"
He rolled up his sleeves and rushed over to hit Jiang Qingwan in the face, but was stopped by a burly man next to him.
"It's a deal, this guy will end up with us brothers. Such a handsome face, if we beat him up, he won't fetch a good price."
Qin Gong angrily withdrew his hand, pointed at Jiang Qingwan's nose, and looked imperious.
"Did you hear that? I don't need to say more about what will happen to you after today. If you want to live, that's not impossible. You know magic, right? Then write me a talisman that guarantees you'll win every gamble, and give me all the silver you have in the bank, and I'll spare you."
Jiang Qingwan's ankle was a little sore, so she leaned against the carriage shaft for support, looking rather lazy and not in a hurry.
“Your Qin family has already kicked me out, and you still want the silver in my bank? I’ve saved it for five years, and it’s a full 150,000 taels. You think I’ll just give it to you because you want it? Dream on.”
The burly men immediately exchanged glances, their eyes filled with greed.
One of them asked sternly, "Young lady, do you really have 150,000 taels?"
Jiang Qingwan raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Of course, there is a Puheng Money Shop. You can ask around if you don't believe me. Brothers, I wonder how much silver he gave you, and how much are you planning to sell me for? One hundred taels? One thousand taels? Or ten thousand taels? I'll give you fifty thousand taels, and you can let me go, how about it?"
Qin Jiagong immediately became anxious.
"Jiang Qingwan, that money belongs to the Qin family. Why are you giving it to them? If you don't behave, I might really take action."
He was pulled away by a burly man as soon as he finished speaking.
"Shut up."
Qin Jiagong stumbled as he was pulled, which made him even more agitated.
“You took my money, yet you dare disobey me.”
"Smack!"
A palm as big as a fan slapped across.
The blow sent Qin Gong sprawling to the ground, half his face swollen.
“You...you have no morals.”
The man who hit him spat on him.
“We’re people who survive in the underground canals, so we naturally have a sense of morality, but this young lady is giving us way too much. It’s not that we can’t obey her, but you can add a little more over 50,000 taels.”
Qin Gong only had ten taels of silver on him, and he roared with anger upon hearing this.
"If I had that much silver, would I need to tie her up?"
A moment later, he gritted his teeth and shouted again.
"Alright, fifty thousand taels it is. As long as you help me get one hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver, I will give you fifty thousand taels. I will never go back on my word."
The man laughed loudly.
"Why don't we just take the 150,000 taels directly, instead of the 50,000 taels you offer?"
As he spoke, he reached out and pinched Jiang Qingwan's chin, his laughter both lewd and insane.
"Young lady, you are still too naive to understand the principle that one should not flaunt one's wealth. Do you think it's worth 150,000 taels to buy your life?"
Seeing the silver that was about to slip through his fingers, Qin Gong hurriedly got up.
"Jiang Qingwan, as long as you give me the money and draw me a talisman that will help me win money, I will have my son take you home."
He gritted his teeth and added another sentence.
"I will make you and that county princess Su Yulan co-wives of my son, and Run'er can continue to call you Mother."
He was certain that Jiang Qingwan would agree to such conditions without hesitation.
But he completely forgot.
The one robbing the silver this time wasn't Jiang Qingwan, but the group of desperados he had hired.
He had barely finished speaking when he was kicked away.
"Tie him up, and if he dares to utter another word, cut out his tongue."
A man with two large knives stuck in his back went over and tied people up with a thick hemp rope. His movements were rough, and he was extremely strong.
The Qin family elder grimaced in pain but dared not cry out, only looking at Jiang Qingwan in a panic.
"Daughter-in-law, save me, save me!"
Jiang Qingwan rolled her eyes inwardly.
After tying the person up, the man with the knife on his back kicked him again.
"Brother, this young lady can still be sold for money, but what can this old man do? We might as well just kill him and be done with it."
The leader waved his hand.
"Don't get involved in murder cases; we're in it for the money."
As he spoke, he turned to Jiang Qingwan.
"Young lady, what's your decision? Will you buy my life or not?"
Jiang Qingwan looked up.
