Jiang Yao looked at Meng Meng pitifully: "Brother Meng, Xie Nanfeng threatened me. He said if I didn't do it, he would have the manor destroyed. Anyway, the manor is deep in the mountains, so no one would know if something happened to it. He said he's the son of the prefect of Yuzhou, and his grandfather and the current Empress Dowager's sister-in-law are siblings! Brother Meng, I'm doing this for you, for everyone!"
By the end, Jiang Yao was almost screaming.
Whether she was making excuses for herself or genuinely believed it, she had done something truly remarkable!
Meng Meng glared at Jiang Yao with disgust: "Shut up!"
Gu Nian glanced at Xie Nanfeng, who was glaring at Jiang Yao. This prefect's son isn't quite right in the head!
Just like that, our family's wealth has been exposed?
Gu Hui asked, "Jiang Yao, what else did he promise you?"
Jiang Yao dared to roar at Meng Meng, but she couldn't roar at Gu Hui. She shrank her neck and whispered, "He asked me to be his concubine and promised me the position of a good concubine."
Gu Nian then asked, "Did you tell him today or yesterday? Has he already sent someone down to prepare?"
Jiang Yao nodded: "Yes. He said his mother has a shop in Yuzhou, and the Xie family also has a shop in the capital. He wanted to stay a few more days, so he sent someone back first."
Meng Meng strode forward and grabbed Jiang Yao by the neck: "Have I been bad to you? Have I mistreated you? If you don't want to marry me, tell me! Why? Why are you cheating on me with other men..."
Jiang Yao's face turned purple, and she was being choked and unable to speak.
Lu Zheng stepped forward and patted Meng Meng on the shoulder: "She's dying. It's not worth ruining your future for someone like that!"
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, murderers were punished with their lives.
Besides them, Xie Nanfeng was also present. Lu Zheng felt that it wouldn't matter if they were both killed, but Xie Nanfeng was the son of the prefect. If he died here, the Xie family would not only cause trouble for his maternal grandfather, but also for the Gu family.
They can die, but they can't die here in Zhoujia Town.
"Ah!" Meng Meng threw Jiang Yao aside and roared to the sky.
Then he turned around and left the room.
"Cough cough cough cough, cough cough cough cough cough..." Jiang Yao coughed a few times in a hurry. Seeing that Meng Meng was about to leave, she crawled to chase after him, "Brother Meng, I... ah..."
Gu Hui stepped on Jiang Yao's hand, which had climbed onto the edge of the bed, causing her great pain.
Gu Xin and Gu Si ran in, stood next to Gu Nian, and glared at Jiang Yao and Xie Nanfeng.
"What do you want to do?" Lu Zheng asked, looking at the four sisters.
Gu Hui and Gu Nian exchanged a glance, both unsure of the best course of action.
Seeing that her sisters were silent, Gu Xin puffed out her cheeks and said seriously, "Take Jiang Yao to the manor, poison her to make her mute, and cut off her tendons as a warning to others!"
Everyone looked at Gu Xin in surprise.
Jiang Yao shook her head: "No!"
Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to her, and she could only tremble in the corner.
Gu Xin's serious expression instantly crumbled. She blinked and asked weakly, "Was that too harsh?"
Gu Nian shook her head and asked, "Xin Xin, if Jiang Yao is handling this this way, what about Xie Nanfeng?"
Gu Xin glanced at Xie Nanfeng, who was tied up, then looked away and said with a pursed mouth, "Jiang Yao just said that he is the son of the prefect of Yuzhou. It's not appropriate to treat him like Jiang Yao, but we can't just let him go like this. He has taken the blueprints from our laboratory. Although stupid people may not understand the use of those things, what if there are smart people? He also knows the formulas for soap, toothpaste, and other products. Why don't we just talk business with the Xie family?"
