"This must be the first time you've ever seen something like this, miss! It's called a cake, and it tastes absolutely delicious. I guarantee you'll want a second bite after just one!"
As she said this, she cut off a small piece and handed it over, knowing full well that some delicacies are only truly tempting when savored slowly! Eating too much at once can easily make you feel overwhelmed!
The young girl seemed quite naive and was about to reach out to take it when she was stopped by the maid behind her, who looked at Qin Qing with wary eyes.
"Miss, don't eat too much random stuff when you're out, or you'll get sick and Madam will be angry when you get back!"
Upon hearing this, the girl seemed to remember something, and looked at the cake with reluctance, thinking...it smelled so good, what a pity!
Just as she was about to turn and leave, Qin Qing, who was not about to give up so easily, quickly said.
"Don't worry, miss. My cake is perfectly clean, without a single scratch, and the ingredients inside are very nutritious. I guarantee you won't regret eating it. You can try a little bit. If it's not good or there's a problem, I'm willing to take full responsibility!"
Seeing her so determined and confident, the young girl couldn't help but have some thoughts. When she saw the maidservant about to say something, she said with displeasure.
"Xiao Lian, if you're worried, why don't you take a bite and try it first!"
As he spoke, he directly took the cake and handed it to Xiaolian, the maid behind him.
"Well... okay!"
Xiao Lian was quite helpless, but after thinking about it, she accepted it! Then she took a bite... and was stunned! Staring wide-eyed at the milky white object in her hand, she couldn't help but take another bite, and her eyes immediately lit up, letting out a gasp of amazement!
"Hmm..."
Soon, the small piece of cake was gone! Xiaolian even wanted to eat all the cream on top.
The girl kept an eye on Xiaolian's expression, noticing her surprise and excitement, her eagerness to finish the cake, and her shining eyes as she stared at the remaining cream, as if she wanted more. The girl became even more curious.
She couldn't resist asking Qin Qing for a piece, and her reaction after eating it was exactly the same as Xiao Lian's! She clearly loved the taste.
"Boss lady! How many do you have left? I'll take them all!"
Seeing her excited and thrilled expression, Qin Qing was naturally happy, because then there was no need to put it in the refrigerator!
"Thirty taels in total, thank you!"
Without saying a word, the girl took out fifty taels of silver and stared intently at her.
"Are you coming out tomorrow? I want them all!"
Seeing this guy acting all high and mighty, Qin Qing suppressed her joy and smiled repeatedly.
"It's rare to meet someone as straightforward as you. I'll make it and send it to you tomorrow! Just give me an address..."
On her way back, she was full of energy, clutching the large gold ingot in her arms! Little did she notice that in a certain corner, a man was staring at her greedily!
As Qin Qing finished packing and left, the man followed closely behind…
A few minutes later!
Qin Qing stared in horror at the man's hand; a rough, dark hand was gripping her precious granddaughter's delicate collar, as if it would snap with the slightest pressure! She quickly spoke up!
"Let her go... I'll give you the money! Not a penny less!"
As he spoke, he hurriedly pulled out the fifty-one and a half taels he had just earned from his pocket. The man who was holding Mu Yue hostage immediately turned his gaze over, his eyes full of surprise, as if he hadn't expected the money to be so easy to get!
Thinking about it, he glanced at the little girl in his arms and a bold idea came to him.
"Throw it on the ground and take three steps back!"
Qin Qing only saw her granddaughter's face turn pale, her already frightened face looking even more terrified. Her heart ached terribly. After pursing her lips, she gently put down the silver, but her mind became increasingly clear.
After the man got close to the silver, he didn't bend down to pick it up at all. Instead, he continued to stare at Qin Qing, looking like he was taking advantage of her!
"You damned woman, hand over the cake recipe!"
Qin Qing laughed in exasperation. Were all kidnappers these days so overconfident? But on the surface, she feigned panic and distress.
"You...you need a prescription? Well...okay! But you'll have to wait. Writing down what's in your head will probably require some paper and pen!"
Seeing her expression, the man couldn't help but relax a little. After all, she was just a woman! He had probably made a mountain out of a molehill!
"Fine! Give me the thing by this time tomorrow morning, otherwise... I don't know if this little girl will still be intact!"
As he spoke, the man gave a threatening smile and exerted a little force with one hand. Xiao Muyue's face turned even paler, but she still held back her tears. Then he hugged Xiao Muyue with one hand and bent down to pick up the silver with the other!
Qin Qing stared intently at the man, lowering her head slightly to feign fear... but her expression changed the moment the man bent over! She rushed forward, the immense force sending the man flying, and snatched Xiao Muyue away.
The next second, a series of wails came from the alley!
Qin Qing, her face contorted with rage, picked up a wooden stick beside her and struck the man hard, targeting his most vulnerable spots!
"Ah!! You damned woman, I'll kill you!"
The sticks rained down on him, making him scream in pain, but the woman hitting him didn't let up at all; instead, she hit him even harder!
"You dare kidnapped my Yueyue, you dare threaten me, you dare strangle my granddaughter, you dare steal my money, you dare..."
With each word spoken, the stick was struck harder!
Finally, seeing the man with a bruised and swollen face, barely breathing, Qin Qing finally stopped, her fear and panic completely released!
"Pah! Don't let me catch you again, or I'll beat you into a eunuch next time!"
With that, she got up, picked up the silver coins from the ground, scooped up little Muyue, and pulled the stroller away…
Unbeknownst to them, a man had witnessed everything. After Qin Qing left, he surveyed the surroundings to make sure there were no third parties, and then slowly approached the man lying on the ground with his footsteps.
A sinister gaze swept over the man, and murderous intent surged within him…
Perhaps sensing something, the man on the ground struggled to lift his head and, upon seeing the person who had arrived, immediately cried for help.
"Help, help me!"
Actually, it's just a bunch of superficial injuries, nothing serious!
The man gave a cold laugh, which was quite eerie.
"Hey, okay!"
The words had barely left his mouth when the kidnapper saw a flash of silver light and completely lost consciousness…
Blood splattered out, covering the man, but fortunately he was dressed in black and the sky was gradually darkening, so it was not easy for others to notice him.
After the man in black disappeared, only the brutal murder scene remained in the alley, and the stench of blood quickly attracted the attention of stray dogs…
At night, the night watchman happened to pass by and faintly noticed chewing and gnawing sounds coming from the alley. Curious, he went over to investigate.
"ah!"
A scream rang out in the darkness, startling the night watchman so much that he knelt on the ground, his eyes wide with terror, his body trembling uncontrollably, and his face deathly pale!
On the other side, the prefect was enjoying the warmth and fragrance of the jade, soothing his heart, which had been terrified half to death by a certain female demon the day before.
