Chapter 89 Do you want to resist?
"How much?" Jiang Yunxi asked.
Ming Qihang laughed, "Her parents sold her for thirty taels of silver, but I spent a hundred taels to buy her. If you want to buy her, you have to pay twice as much."
"Two hundred taels?" Jiang Yunxi raised an eyebrow.
"Yes." Ming Qihang said proudly. If she was willing to give him two hundred taels, he could sell the girl. After all, he didn't have to have her.
If he gets an extra hundred taels, he might buy another one.
"Here you go." Jiang Yunxi took out two silver bills from her sleeve pocket. When she left the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion on the eighth day of the first lunar month, her father gave her a stack of silver bills and asked her to keep them.
She was not short of money, but this was her old father's way of expressing his love, so she could only take it.
Ming Qihang didn't expect the other party to be willing to pay two hundred taels of silver. He quickly stepped forward and took it, "You can take the person away."
When the woman on the ground saw that Jiang Yunxi bought her, she was shocked and couldn't believe it at first, and then she quickly kowtowed to her to thank her.
"Come with us and leave here first." Jiang Yunxi said to the woman.
"Thank you, young lady."
The three of them walked outside together.
When they reached the door, Jiang Yunxi turned and looked at Ming Qihang. "My name is Jiang Yunxi. I live at the Zhen family home on Fu'an Street. You can find me there."
The words fell.
She walked away.
Ming Qihang looked puzzled when he heard this, but then he realized that maybe she had fallen in love with him.
Otherwise why would she tell him her name and ask him to go to Zhen's house to find her?
He will definitely go find her!
Jiang Yunxi found Jiang Jinghuai and others and told them what happened upstairs and that she had bought a girl.
When the boat reached the shore again, they got off.
"Miss, this is one hundred taels, enough for you to live on." Jiang Yunxi took out a silver note and handed it to the other party.
"I can't accept it. Even if I take it, my parents will snatch it away when they find out, and they will sell me again..." Hu Xinghua shook her head and said.
How could she have the nerve to take her money again?
She didn't know how to return the two hundred taels.
"Do you want to resist?" Jiang Yunxi asked with a smile. She was a sober person and she had just given her the banknote to test her.
Hu Xinghua's face was filled with sorrow, and she said in a bitter voice, "I once resisted, but I still couldn't escape. They wouldn't let me go and use me for money."
Her family favors boys over girls, and she has been working like a horse since she was a child. She thought she could live the life she wanted when she grew up, but she couldn't get rid of it.
She escaped, but was eventually caught, beaten, and starved, but she still had to work. In the end, she was sold for thirty taels of silver. It's really ridiculous to think about it.
For thirty taels of silver, her biological parents sold her, regardless of her life or death.
"If I tell you, I can help you." Jiang Yunxi had a bright and flamboyant smile on her face.
"Can you really help me?" There was a bright light in Hu Xinghua's eyes. She didn't know who the other person was, but he was magically convincing.
Jiang Yunxi nodded. "The key is whether you can be ruthless. Otherwise, no one can help you."
"I can. I want to get rid of them." Hu Xinghua clenched her fists and said firmly. She wanted to take control of her own life and didn't want to be sold again.
"I'm going to Zhen's house first. You follow us and we'll go to your house after dinner." Jiang Yunxi said.
"Thank you, young lady." Hu Xinghua was extremely grateful. She went back alone and didn't know how those two men would treat her. She wanted to resist, but she couldn't do it alone.
Jiang Yunxi and his group walked quickly towards Fu'an Street and soon arrived at the gate of a large courtyard. The words "Zhen Mansion" were written on the plaque on the door.
Jiang Jinghuai stepped forward and explained his purpose.
The housekeeper knew him, so he took them to the front hall before informing them, and then went to the backyard to inform them.
A moment later.
An old man in his sixties came to the front hall.
"Uncle." Jiang Jinghuai called out. The other party was his grandmother's half-brother, the old man of the eldest branch of the Zhen family. His eldest son was now the head of the Zhen family.
"Is your grandmother in good health? Why did you suddenly come to Jiangzhou? Did something happen?" Zhen Zhibang asked with concern.
"Grandma is in good health. Something did happen at home." After Jiang Jinghuai said this, he told the story of Jiang Yunxi.
Zhen Zhibang was very surprised that the wrong child was given to him 22 years ago. "You are the Duke of Ying, how could you have the wrong child in your home? Could it be that someone deliberately switched the children?"
"Granduncle, you hit the nail on the head." Jiang Yunxi looked at the old man with a smile. Grandmother said that the other party was two years older than her, and she could tell him anything when she came to Jiangzhou.
"Was it really replaced on purpose?" Zhen Zhibang was stunned. It would be fine if other small families were replaced, but how could such an outrageous thing happen in the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion?
"It's easy to dodge a spear, but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark." Jiang Yunxi could only explain it this way. No matter how powerful a person is, he will inevitably be attacked.
Zhen Zhibang looked at Jiang Yunxi and said with a kind smile, "You must be Yunxi, right? You look a bit like your father. It's a pity that your grandfather is gone and didn't see you..."
He sighed at the end.
He admired his brother-in-law very much, but it was a pity that he passed away early.
"Grandfather has seen me. We met in a dream." Jiang Yunxi said with a smile.
Hearing the first half of the sentence, Zhen Zhibang was shocked. How could he see her after she died?
After hearing the latter part, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. This could only happen in dreams. "Do you have anything else to do when you come to Jiangzhou this time?"
"Out for fun." Jiang Yunxi said with a smile. She didn't want to tell the Zhen family about the extermination killing array. They would find an excuse to visit their grandmother's cousin's house.
"Uncle, great-grandmother is not at home?" Jiang Jingyan asked after looking around.
"She went to live with your third uncle's grandfather, and we take turns to take care of the old lady." Zhen Zhibang said.
"Grandma asked us to meet her." Jiang Jingyan said his grandmother's instructions. If the journey was not too long, they would all like to take their great-grandmother to the capital.
"How about this, I'll take you there tomorrow. She will definitely be very happy to see you younger generations." Zhen Zhibang said with a smile on his face. Anyway, his third brother's house is not far away.
Jiang Jingyan nodded.
Only then did Zhen Zhibang notice that there were two children and asked curiously.
Jiang Yunxi directly stated Mo Mo Mianmian's identity.
Zhen Zhibang was shocked. He didn't expect that they were the children of His Royal Highness Prince Han. No wonder the little boy looked familiar. He had also seen Prince Han when he was a child.
"Grandpa, something happened. The third master just sent someone over to say that the old lady is gone..." The housekeeper hurried in to report.
Zhen Zhibang stood up suddenly and asked in a trembling voice: "You, what did you say!"
"The old lady is gone..." the housekeeper said and started crying.
Zhen Zhibang staggered.
Jiang Jinghuai hurriedly supported him, "Uncle, is great-grandmother not feeling well?"
"She was in good health, how could she suddenly..." Zhen Zhibang said with red eyes and an expression of unwillingness to believe on his face. The old lady was clearly in good condition when he sent her over.
Jiang Yunxi had a thoughtful look on her face. When she entered the house, she didn't realize that anyone in the Zhen Mansion would die in the near future.
It seems that my great-grandmother's death was not normal.

PS: I wish you all a happy new year, great wealth, great beauty and great sweetness!
