Chapter 102 I'll get angry if I don't give him a good beating
Tao Tao frowned and pushed the door open a little wider so that she could see what was inside.
“Look carefully, I’m in charge of funerals, and we don’t really need this many people right now. If you really want to stay, I can take you in for a while.”
"But after you get through these difficult times, you have to go and find your own way to survive."
If she were truly the daughter of the salt commissioner, as some people claim, she wouldn't be without relatives and friends, and she must be the daughter of a disgraced official who ended up here.
She didn't know what the consequences would be if she took in the daughter of a disgraced official, but she did know that she was now holding the title of Privy Councilor.
That's something even His Highness the Crown Prince knows.
The Crown Prince knows, and Qiu must know as well. Qiu has a grudge against Duan Gan, and if someone with ulterior motives uses it against her, she is afraid it will cause him trouble.
She's taken so many benefits from him; she can't just turn around and give others something to gossip about.
Seeing her resolute expression, Ding Yunxiang understood that this was already within the acceptable range for her.
She nodded sadly, her eyes filled with gratitude: "Thank you, young lady, thank you for your kindness and generosity in helping someone like me. I will definitely repay you both in the future."
"Come in, wash up first, and I'll take you to the shop to meet the other people."
Tao Tao and Tu Miaoling went in first, followed by Ding Yunxiang.
Suddenly, a scream came from behind her, the fear in which was even greater than when Tu Miaoling first entered this courtyard.
There were no spare rooms in the house, so Tao Tao gave up her own room for her to wash up and even provided her with a clean set of clothes to change into.
While she was tidying up, Tu Miaoling apologized to Tao Tao again.
Her face was pale, and her eyes were filled with guilt: "I'm sorry, Tao'er, I was too impulsive."
"This whole thing started because of me. Here, take this money. I'll definitely pay you back when I've made more money."
She took out all the money she had and stuffed it all into her hand.
Tao Tao looked down at the silver coins that she had forced onto her: a piece of silver the size of a fingernail and a dozen or so copper coins.
She took three copper coins and returned the rest to her, saying, "This is enough."
"You can treat me to wontons later."
Invite me to eat wontons? That would require countless meals! More than a thousand or eight hundred bowls.
Moreover, she could never pay off such a large sum of money; she could only do her best. And if her father found out, he would definitely blame her.
Tao'er said this so that she wouldn't have to feel so much pressure, indirectly meaning that she wouldn't have to repay the money.
Tu Miaoling instantly understood what she meant, her eyes welled up with tears, she pouted, and reached out to hug her.
"I won't be so impulsive next time. It's all my fault for being stupid and not thinking things through."
“Miaoling, you did not do anything wrong. It is not wrong for you to have a compassionate heart. Do not deny your true nature because of a small mistake.”
"Okay, I'll take you to find something fun tonight."
Tao Tao gently patted her back to comfort her.
Hearing something fun, she immediately sat up from under her neck, looking at her in surprise and asking, "What's so fun?"
"A punching bag for you to vent your anger."
Their eyes met, and she smiled mysteriously, her eyebrows curving upwards.
"A punching bag? What's so fun about a wooden barrel?"
Tu Miaoling asked curiously.
She did not explain.
Tao Tao led her people to the shop, briefly recounted her story, and changed the story of the brothel to a story of a frail woman she found on the roadside.
She didn't mention that the family had lost most of their savings, otherwise her mother would have fainted on the spot.
Tao's mother stared at Ding Yunxiang with a puzzled look in her eyes, but still smiled.
This woman has fair skin, a beautiful face, and an extraordinary temperament. The things she uses and eats must be of the highest quality. Even if she were to be lost and wander outside, would she be used to the things of ordinary people?
Xi Xin stood behind Tao's mother, her face displeased, and her eyes revealed hostility.
"It's getting late, Mother, let's close the shop."
As they were talking, Yu Shan and Yu He had already brought in the things that were brought in from the doorway.
Therefore, I would go out with Yu Shan in the evening. Now that there was another person, I decided to invite everyone over for dinner so we could get to know each other better.
Tao's mother was the head chef, and Tu Miaoling also wanted to show off her skills, so she became the sous chef, while the others assisted.
Today is the most lively day ever, filled with laughter.
After dinner, bathed in the afterglow of the sunset, Tao Tao, Tu Miaoling, and Yu Shan went out.
At the entrance of a small alley on Chengdong Street.
Yu Shan whispered, "Boss, I've found out everything. Wang Dazhong goes to buy wine at this time every day, and he always passes through this alley."
"Good job! That old bastard dared to play me for a fool. I won't be satisfied until I teach him a lesson."
Tao Tao remained expressionless, her eyes and voice radiating coldness.
Tu Miaoling had never seen her look so unfamiliar before, and was momentarily stunned.
Just then, a series of slow footsteps came from afar.
Tao Tao peeked ahead and recognized the swaying figure as Wang Dazhong. She quickly hid behind the alley.
Wang Dazhong was completely drunk, his face flushed, his eyes glazed over, and he swayed unsteadily from side to side, still holding a jug of wine in his hand.
As he passed the alleyway, a sack suddenly fell from the sky, enveloping him completely.
He struggled desperately in a panic, shouting for help.
He felt a large group of people surrounding him, punching and kicking him with extreme brutality. In no time, he could no longer make a sound.
My mouth was filled with the taste of blood, which kept rising from my throat.
"...Spare me...cough cough cough...help...help me..."
The beating lasted for an unknown amount of time. By the time he came to his senses, the person had already vanished without a trace.
Wang Dazhong's face was bruised and swollen, and his mouth was full of blood and foam. His consciousness went from being hazy to being clear-headed when he was being beaten, and now it was becoming blurry again after being beaten.
He was in a daze and soon passed out.
They ran non-stop until they returned to Chengnan Street, at which point they gradually slowed down.
Tao Tao leaned against the wall, and couldn't help but laugh out loud when she thought of the old man's miserable state. She was also panting because she was too tired.
Yu Shan was a little scared at first, but now he was no longer afraid and laughed along with her, feeling relieved.
Tu Miaoling didn't know what had happened, but she could tell that the person must have done something wrong to anger Tao Tao, which was why they were punished.
And just now, she really had a good time.
Take out your bad mood on that person.
In the dead of night, even the slightest noise is amplified, so after laughing for a while, she quickly shut up.
She wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, smiled, and began to explain to Tu Miaoling.
"So that's how it is. That old man is really awful."
"But shouldn't you take back the ten taels of silver you gave him? We can't let him get away with it so easily."
"Keep those ten taels of silver for his treatment."
Tao Tao smiled indifferently, nonchalant and unrestrained.
