Sister, someone is watching you.
"Who sent them?"
[I don't know, they came in the middle of the night last night.]
Chu Xinxin lit a drug that could bewitch gods and demons, and had Haitang tie up the person and bring him to her.
She is a girl with a very heroic appearance.
"Tell me, who sent you to spy on our young lady?"
Haitang held up a fruit-peeling knife and showed it to the woman.
"Haitang, you'd better put away that little weapon. Even if you stab her, she won't even blink."
Chu Xinxin lay in the rocking chair, swaying back and forth so comfortably that she almost closed her eyes.
Upon hearing this, the woman glanced at Chu Xinxin.
Chu Xinxin exchanged a glance with her and said slowly, "No matter how I ask you today, you won't say anything, right?"
The woman lowered her eyes and remained silent.
"Haitang, force-feed her this medicine. Tomorrow she'll beg me to speak."
Haitang took the red pill and asked curiously, "Miss, what is this?"
"Hmm... a miraculous medicine that makes one's whole body exude a sweet fragrance."
"Ah, I want one too."
Chu Xinxin turned her head and saw that Haitang looked quite reluctant to part with her.
She sighed slowly, her voice low, as if telling a ghost story: "Those smells are most likely to attract all sorts of insects, ants, centipedes, spiders... and maybe even poisonous snakes. They crawl all over you, tearing at your skin bit by bit, even crawling into your nose, mouth, and eyes, and then coming out with your bloody brains..."
"Ahhh, Miss, please stop talking!"
Haitang shoved the pill into the woman's mouth and then locked her in the woodshed.
Just as they finished dealing with the situation, Granny Ni came in with a group of people.
"Miss, the manor is short-handed. Madam said to send a slave trader to bring people over. You can choose a few."
Having experienced Chu Xinxin's power yesterday, Granny Ni dared not say any more polite words and just wanted to finish her work quickly and leave.
Chu Xinxin, feeling lazy, said, "You can choose the crabapple."
"Yes, Miss."
Haitang looked around; these people were sallow-faced and emaciated, their faces covered in pockmarks or sores...
"Miss, this human trafficker isn't very good. I'll go back to the Qi residence and find some better ones."
Haitang said.
Granny Ni's face turned cold: "Miss Haitang, do you think this is a place where you can just come and go as you please? Do you even respect the Prime Minister and his wife?"
Haitang wasn't afraid of her at all: "Then do you even respect our young lady? What kind of people did you hire?"
“These are all respectable young men from good families; this old servant thinks they are all excellent.”
"Would you like these people?"
Haitang rolled her eyes.
Granny Ni was so angry that she lost her composure and wanted to slap Haitang twice.
"The young lady is truly skilled at managing her subordinates."
She looked at Chu Xinxin with a sarcastic expression, but Chu Xinxin closed her eyes for a nap, as if she hadn't heard her.
"Then this old servant will come again after the young lady wakes up."
After saying that, he led the group away in a flurry.
After Granny Ni left, Haitang took vinegar and sprinkled it all over the place where they had been standing: "You brought them in with pus oozing from their faces, what are you up to?"
"Don't be angry, I'll take you out for a walk."
Chu Xinxin put on her veil and swaggered out the main entrance with Haitang.
Liu received the news immediately.
"Madam, Qi Luanting appears respectful on the surface, but in reality, he doesn't respect anyone."
In the Prime Minister's residence, besides the Prime Minister's wife and Chu Yun, everyone who saw Ni Mama would rush up to flatter and fawn over her.
As a result, Chu Xinxin suffered setbacks time and time again, and even that little girl Haitang dared to give her attitude. She had long wanted to teach them a lesson.
While tending to her flowers and plants, Liu said, "Let her be. Since she doesn't like crowds, we don't need to worry about her anymore."
Granny Ni said anxiously, "Madam, she doesn't even ask the mistress of the house for permission to leave the manor. If she causes trouble outside, it might implicate our young lady..."
It's different from before; now that they've been brought back, they're all young ladies from the Chu family.
Liu glanced at Granny Ni indifferently, as if trying to see through her heart.
Granny Ni looked sullen for a moment.
“I said, don’t worry about anything, food, lodging and transportation, just pretend this person doesn’t exist in the mansion.”
Granny Ni was delighted: "Yes!"
"When she can't help but come up to beg, put Tao'er and Xing'er in her room."
......
Chu Xinxin was unaware of their plans; she was strolling through Yongfu Lane with Haitang.
Yongfu Lane has a nice-sounding name, but the businesses there are not exactly lucrative.
They were all poor families who had no other choice but to sell their children.
There was a stall surrounded by a lot of people. Chu Xinxin glanced at it as she passed by and it seemed to be a gambling addict selling his daughter.
"Are you going to sell it or not? This is the price for teenage girls these days."
A man dressed like a butler was negotiating a price with the gambler.
The gambler said, "No, add another tael of silver."
"Hey, why don't you just rob me? It's worth at most three ounces. Take it or leave it. I'm telling you, you won't find a higher price here!"
The gambler said, "My two daughters are so beautiful, they're good enough to be my concubines. You don't know their value, so get out of here."
Chu Xinxin's gaze fell on the two girls; they were indeed beautiful.
Someone nearby was chatting: "Butler Sun has come a few times already. I reckon this gambler will be sold."
"The Sun family? Is it the Sun family?"
"Is there any Sun family in the capital who buys beautiful women every day?"
"What a tragedy."
Chu Xinxin then asked, "What happened to the Sun family, you two?"
“Young Master Sun has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. In the past, he would buy women and then bury them in mass graves within five days.”
"Those two girls actually got bought, tsk tsk tsk."
As they talked, the butler seemed to give in and started taking out money.
"Wait a minute."
Chu Xinxin took out a purse: "Here are ten taels of silver. I'll take your two daughters."
The gambler immediately pushed the butler aside, snatched Chu Xinxin's purse, took it out and counted the money, and was immediately overjoyed.
"Thank you, sir. These two little vixens are yours now."
After saying that, he couldn't wait to rush to the gambling den.
The steward was in a bad mood because he had been robbed, but when he saw the "Chu" character waist tag on Haitang's body, he didn't dare to make things difficult for her. He snorted coldly and left.
Chu Xinxin told the two girls to go to the Qi residence first, while she and Haitang strolled leisurely toward the gambling den.
The gambling addict who sold women was named Luo Laosan.
Luo Laosan walked around the gambling den several times with the ten taels of silver but dared not place a bet.
When Chu Xinxin arrived, he was still standing there hesitating between buying the big or small size.
Haitang, visiting this place for the first time, was very curious: "Miss, what are we doing here?"
Chu Xinxin: "Of course, I want my money back."
How do I take it?
"Place your bet."
Chu Xinxin stood opposite Luo Laosan and threw ten taels of silver towards the "big" side: "I'll bet on big."
The first floor of the gambling den was all small-scale gambling, so Chu Xinxin's ten taels of silver was a huge sum of money.
Chu Xinxin immediately attracted attention.
"open!"
When the dealer opened it, it turned out to be a small number.
In the next round, Chu Xinxin bet ten taels on "small," and when she opened the box, it was "big."
Chu Xinxin lost several rounds in a row.
