Chapter 57: Life Purchase Contract
Seeing her like this, Wuhua felt very contemptuous.
I don’t know what was wrong with Yue Fuli back then, that she would become friends with such a person.
It’s really hard to put it into words.
Du Ruolan had no idea that Wuhua was secretly criticizing Yue Fuli, so she told the maid to go and come back quickly.
Fortunately, this place was not far from the Du Mansion, and the maid knew where Du Ruolan kept her money. However, when she took out the small box containing the money, she found that there was not much silver in it.
Seeing that there were only two silver notes of one hundred taels left in the box, the maid hesitated for a moment, but still took them all away.
Wuhua waited for a long time before receiving the 200 taels of silver, so he was naturally dissatisfied. You know, when Du Ruolan bought Yue Fuli's life, she was willing to pay 1,000 taels.
If she was willing to pay that much, she must be able to come up with that much. But now this maid only took out 200 taels, which means she didn't want to give more.
Wuhua thrust his sword closer to Du Ruolan's neck and said coldly, "Miss Du, it seems you value money over life. Could it be that this is all you're worth?"
Du Ruolan glanced at the banknote in Wuhua's hand, knowing that it was her last silver. She had previously agreed to give Anlou 1,000 taels of silver to buy Yue Fuli's life because she planned to pawn some of her jewelry.
"No, no, I'm not asking for money over my life, but this is all the money I have."
"No money?" Wuhua smiled, tempting Du Ruolan like a big bad wolf, and said, "I know a place where you can borrow money without collateral. It's perfect for someone like you. Why don't you come with me and take a look?"
Can Du Ruolan say no?
Of course not. After all, her life was in the hands of others, so how could she dare to resist, unless she really wanted to die.
Wuhua was very satisfied to see Du Ruolan was so sensible. As long as he borrowed the money at high interest, Du Ruolan would never be able to get rid of it in her life.
However, Wuhua hadn't expected that she hadn't checked the almanac before leaving the house. Before she even arrived, she ran into Song Jingyang.
As soon as Du Ruolan saw Song Jingyang, she immediately rushed over and shouted loudly, "Brother Jingyang, save me!"
Song Jingyang hadn't expected to meet Du Ruolan. Although he was a little angry yesterday, he still had feelings for Du Ruolan.
Seeing that she was in trouble, he naturally would not stand idly by.
Therefore, while protecting Du Ruolan, he looked at Wuhua and asked, "Who are you and why are you making things difficult for a little girl?"
"Are you Prince Song?" Wuhua glanced at Song Jingyang, a smile on his face, and said, "You came at the right time. Miss Du owes me a lot of money. Please help her pay it back."
"How much do you owe?"
"Five hundred taels."
"I didn't, Brother Jingyang, don't listen to his nonsense. I don't owe him any money."
"No?" Wuhua looked at the quibbling Du Ruolan with a sneer on his face. Fortunately, he had made preparations before coming, so he brought the original contract with him.
So, at this moment, he directly took out the deed, unfolded it for Song Jingyang to see, and said, "Prince Song, please read it carefully. This Miss Du spent 1,000 taels of silver to buy Yue Fuli's life. We helped her kill him, and now I ask her for money, which is only natural. Even if I report it to the authorities, I am not afraid."
"What did you say? She wants to buy Yue Fuli's life?"
"Yes, it's clearly written in black and white."
Song Jingyang took a closer look and found that it was true.
Turning around, he looked at Du Ruolan with a complicated look.
