Chapter 89: Simply Selling One's Life



"Haha, little girl, you still remember to come back!"

"Your whole family owes us, Mr. Liu, so much money that Mr. Liu can't bear it anymore. Although Mr. Liu has done so many good deeds, you little idiots dare to delay like this!"

Then the man grabbed Xiaohong and looked her up and down.

"Mr. Liu has said that if you are willing to join the Liu family and sign a contract to sell yourself, you can get half of the money!"

"You can use your wages to pay back the remaining fifteen taels of silver slowly. Taking into account food and accommodation, etc., I'll give you half a tael of silver every year. It will only take thirty years for you to pay back the money owed to our great philanthropist Liu!"

When hearing this, Qian Ruoyu was shocked.

What kind of repayment method is this?

This is not just paying back money, this is simply selling your life!

If Xiaohong really signed this indenture, her whole life would be given to others. Not to mention her parents, she might not even be able to leave that family.

It seems that I came at the right time!

"stop!"

Qian Ruoyu shouted loudly.

The two people on the other side were suddenly frightened, and then they saw Qian Ruoyu, who was standing at the door in a rather gorgeous manner, and the people behind Qian Ruoyu.

But the two of them were obviously not pushovers. After hearing Qian Ruoyu's words, they did not let go immediately. Instead, they said.

"What do you do?"

At the beginning, the two of them focused all their attention on Xiaohong, as if they were already coveting Xiaohong, so they didn't notice the existence of Qian Ruoyu and others at all.

But after seeing Qian Ruoyu and the others, they were not afraid. Instead, they put their hands on their hips and spoke.

"I advise you to mind your own business. We are doing work for the government!"

Qian Ruoyu smiled, and her unintentional chuckle sounded like a mockery.

"To the government? To which government? Tell me!"

The two were stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Qian Ruoyu to say such a thing.

"You...mind your own business! Where are you from? Don't think we'll treat you like someone important just because you're wearing such pretty clothes!"

"That's right," the other one continued, "We work for Mr. Liu, the great man in our area. If you offend Mr. Liu, you and your family will be in big trouble!"

Fatty Liu also laughed after hearing this.

Even if he is a wealthy man from somewhere, he is no match for the princess of the Night Palace.

And when he saw that Qian Ruoyu did not get angry, he had no choice but to stand aside and say nothing.

Qian Ruoyu said calmly.

"I'll give you one more chance now. Release Xiao Hong to me immediately. This is your last chance."

If only Qian Ruoyu and Yan'er were here, perhaps Qian Ruoyu would not speak so arrogantly.

After all, even if she is the princess, how can these people in front of her recognize her?

Fortunately, I brought Fatty Liu and two helpers with me this time.

Listening to Qian Ruoyu's words, one of them said directly.

"Last chance? What can you do to us!"

Qian Ruoyu shook her head unsatisfiedly, "Fatty Liu, are you sure?"

Fatty Liu chuckled and walked out directly from Qian Ruoyu's side.

"Your Highness, I, Fatty Liu, don't have any other skills. Apart from cooking, my favorite thing is fighting!"

"Come on, both of you!"

Fatty Liu then rushed forward with two helpers behind him.

The two opponents had never expected that Qian Ruoyu would actually let his men take action, and Fatty Liu rushed over and knocked one of them away.

The other two also controlled the remaining person.

It only took a few blinks of an eye, and Fatty Liu, together with the two people behind him, completely controlled the two debt collectors.

Qian Ruoyu immediately walked over and spoke to Xiaohong with concern.

"How is it? Are you okay?"

Xiaohong immediately shook her head and came to her father.

"Dad, are you okay?"

Old Man Hong shook his head. "No, even though I'm old, I'm still pretty strong!"

Xiaohong felt much more relieved after hearing these words, and Qian Ruoyu on the side felt a little comforted.

Fortunately, there were no accidents on this trip, and Fatty Liu successfully caught the man.

If Fatty Liu hadn't been brought here, the consequences would have been disastrous.

The two people on the ground were still shouting arrogantly.

"You, you better be careful. Our master... our master is related to the county magistrate. How dare you treat us like this? You will be in big trouble!"

Qian Ruoyu smiled.

Xiaohong came over from the side and hurriedly said to Qian Ruoyu.

"My queen... this... what should we do from now on? It's fine if you're here, but if you're not here, I'm afraid our family will be in trouble..."

Qian Ruoyu nodded slightly, naturally knowing what Xiaohong was worried about.

If this problem is not properly resolved this time, there will probably be endless troubles in the future.

That is why Qian Ruoyu comforted her.

"Don't worry, since I'm here, I will definitely help you to the end."

Xiaohong nodded in relief, and then Qian Ruoyu spoke to the two people lying on the ground.

"One of you two should go back now and inform your master to come over. It would be best if your master can bring the county magistrate and others with him!"

"I want to see how capable this so-called great philanthropist is!"

Then one of them was released directly, and he ran towards the door like a wild beast.

At the same time he turned around and said arrogantly.

"You, if you have the guts, just wait here. Our great philanthropist Liu will be here with a large group of his mothers soon. You better clean your necks!"

After he left, the people on the ground were still being held down.

Qian Ruoyu quickly pulled Fatty Liu over.

"The fastest person here, hurry back and find Si Yin or Si Ze. Tell them that the princess wants to see them for something, and ask them to bring a few more people over."

"Just say... I've encountered some trouble outside. Oh, by the way, don't tell the prince about this!"

After listening to this, Fatty Liu nodded and discussed it with the two people around him. One of them quickly ran out the door.

Xiaohong walked beside Qian Ruoyu and asked cautiously.

"My queen... I hope nothing unexpected will happen this time..."

"Our family is fine, but our lives are worthless. But you, my queen, are worth a lot of money. If something unexpected happens, Xiaohong will be blamed..."

When saying this, Xiaohong looked extremely sad, as if she was afraid that Qian Ruoyu might really have an accident.
