After saying that, Haitang swung the rolling pin high above her head and smashed it down on Chu Yuning.
The rolling pin came crashing down with a whoosh, and Chu Yuning quickly raised her hand to block it: "Miss Haitang, let's talk this out!"
The rolling pin slammed into Chu Yuning's elbow, cracking with a loud thud.
Chu Yuning's face contorted in pain as he rolled around on the ground, clutching his arm.
Furong stepped forward, hands on her hips, and said, "You can talk nicely, but give us back all the money you borrowed from me!"
Narcissus: "That's right! You tricked us into lending you money by saying your mother was seriously ill, but in reality, the grass on your mother's grave is already half a foot tall! You just swindled our money and spent it all yourself! You liar, give us back our money right now!"
Chun Tao: "Pay back the money now! Otherwise, you won't escape from us sisters tonight!"
"Sister Chuntao, should we send him to the authorities and have him imprisoned?" Hehuan suggested.
Du Juan shook her head and laughed, "No rush, it's not too late to beat him up first and then send him over."
Chu Yuning's thin lips were pressed tightly together, and her face grew increasingly grim. "I don't want to fight back because I'm considering that you are all young ladies and I don't want to bully you. It's not that I'm afraid to fight back!"
"Hypocrite! Bah!" Furong spat in Chu Yuning's face and cursed, "We've seen through you long ago! You still want to pat yourself on the back? Aren't you shameless enough?"
"You...you shrew!"
Chu Yuning wiped the spittle off her face with her sleeve, her eyes filled with anger.
Chun Tao said dismissively, "So what if she's a shrew? Today I'll show you what a shrew can do!"
"Sisters! Let's go!"
Chun Tao turned her head and shouted, and the others immediately swung their sticks and rushed forward.
Although Chu Yuning was a man and stronger than a woman, he was surrounded by six women.
He was no match for the many girls he was fighting. Before he could even struggle, he was beaten so badly that he had no chance to fight back and could only run away with his head in his hands.
But how could Haitang and the others let Chu Yuning go so easily after finally catching him?
They cornered Chu Yuning, unleashing all their pent-up anger until they were exhausted and finally released their grip on the sticks.
Chu Yuning was covered in injuries. He leaned against the wall, biting his lower lip hard to stop himself from crying out in pain or begging for mercy.
To avoid attracting more people to see his miserable state.
Haitang cleared her throat, signaling the other girls to stop.
Furong took two steps back, rubbed her sore wrists, and shouted, "Give me back my money!"
Haitang squatted down and held out her hand to Chu Yuning: "Give us back the money, and this matter will be settled. From now on, we'll go our separate ways and have no further entanglements!"
"I...cough cough cough...I don't have much money on me right now..." Chu Yuning clutched her chest, coughing as she spoke, gasping for breath.
"What do you mean? You don't want to pay back the money?" Chun Tao was an impatient person. When she heard Chu Yuning say that she had no money to pay back, she immediately raised the stick in her hand again, wanting to hit Chu Yuning.
Upon seeing the stick, Chu Yuning quickly dodged to the side, saying, "I... I can give you all the money I have..."
Chun Tao paused, then said impatiently, "Hurry up and take it out! Your great-aunt's patience is limited!"
Chu Yuning hurriedly took out her money pouch from her bosom. When Chun Tao saw this, she snatched the money pouch away and weighed it in her hand.
"So little?"
"You must have other valuables on you, hand them all over!"
“Miss Chun… Miss Chun Tao is gone, really gone,” Chu Yuning said.
Chun Tao didn't believe it, so she bent down and ripped open Chu Yuning's outer robe.
With her shirt torn, Chu Yuning, enraged, said, "You shrew, how dare you openly tear off a man's clothes! You are truly shameless!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a bracelet suddenly fell from his waist.
The bracelet gleamed with a golden light under the moonlight. It was very small, probably for a child.
Upon seeing the small gold bracelet on the ground, Chu Yuning's expression changed, and she hurriedly went to pick it up, but Furong snatched it first.
"There's even a bracelet, I'd guess it's worth about an ounce." Furong weighed the small gold bracelet in her hand and then handed it to Haitang.
Haitang glanced at it and felt that the small gold bracelet looked very familiar.
It looks like it was worn on the wrists of Wang Jinzhu and Wang Mingzhu.
Unexpectedly, after changing hands several times, it finally ended up in her hands.
Haitang accepted the small gold bracelet, then took out a folded piece of paper from her bosom.
She unfolded the letter, then tore it to shreds.
The shredded paper was blown onto Chu Yuning's face by the night wind, like a loud slap across his face.
"Young Master Chu, you are handsome and talented, with exceptional literary skills. You can write poetry and compose music. You are truly a man of great talent. I was also captivated by you when I first met you."
"But I later learned that you were all show and no substance. You claimed to be of noble character, but you were no different from those patrons who frequented brothels. You had one face inside the brothel and another outside."
"This poem you sold to me, I now return to you. May you be crushed into dust, forever unable to wash away your filthy, vile, and base reputation!"
After saying that, Haitang turned around without any hesitation.
The exquisite embroidered shoes stepped on the scraps of paper, silently humiliating Chu Yuning's self-esteem.
After Haitang left, the others followed her out of the alley.
After coming out, Chun Tao glanced at the dark alley and leaned close to Hai Tang, whispering, "Although Miss Chen has helped us get those money back, we still haven't gotten our revenge. Today we finally had the chance to vent it all out. It felt so good! So good!"
Haitang smiled upon hearing this and said, "I saw Chu Yuning near the pharmacy a few days ago. At the time, I thought I was seeing things, since more than half a year had passed and he had been hiding in the countryside like a coward, refusing to come to the city."
