Chapter 133 You Wet the Bed Recently
The two looked at each other and returned each other's gaze.
"To reply to this lady, the price required is one hundred taels of silver." Hua Yin spoke and said the price that the two had already agreed upon.
One hundred taels of silver! It was not a small sum of money, and most people simply could not afford it. And those who could afford it would not think that a woman selling herself to bury her father was worth one hundred taels of silver.
Besides, Hua Yin covers her face with a veil, so buying her involves a bit of a gamble. If she turns out to be ugly under the veil, then you’d be at a loss.
So the price is just right, which is why no one has bought Hua Yin yet.
Even though the people around already knew the price Hua Yin mentioned, when they heard her speak, there was a sigh around them.
One hundred taels of silver is a sky-high price for most people around!
Hua Yin was not the first person to sell herself to bury her father on the busiest street in the imperial city, but she was the first one who dared to ask for such a high price, so there were so many people watching.
Everyone wanted to see what kind of face was underneath the veil, and it actually cost one hundred taels of silver.
"Okay, girl, this is one hundred taels. Take it and follow me. You guys, help me bury this girl's father properly."
Su Yue directly took out a hundred taels and put it in Hua Yin's hand. After instructing the servants around him, he prepared to take Hua Yin away.
"Wait, I'll give you two hundred taels, I'll buy it!"
Just as Su Yue was about to leave, she heard a sharp voice. Then, two silver notes were thrown in front of Hua Yin. Upon closer inspection, they were exactly two hundred taels.
The people around were very surprised to see Su Yue readily take out a hundred taels. How could there be such a sucker who would pay two hundred taels!
Su Yue frowned and looked in the direction of the voice. She saw a thin man with high cheekbones not far from her, staring at Hua Yin's eyes with a greedy look on his face.
With his experience of seeing countless women, he could tell from just this pair of eyes that beneath the veil there must be a stunningly beautiful face. Two hundred taels was not a loss at all. Even if it was five hundred taels, he could afford it.
"Please understand what the four words first come first served mean!"
Su Yue spoke in a deep voice, not willing to argue any further. After all, she sold herself to bury her father just to give Hua Yin a legitimate reason to enter the mansion. Even if someone wanted to investigate, they would only find out about her selling herself to bury her father and would not raise any suspicion.
"So what if you came first? No one dares to snatch what I, Li Yan, want."
The man looked at Su Yue with disdain on his face. What could a young girl like her use to snatch from him?
"Li Yan?" Su Yue repeated the man's name and glanced at him from head to toe with a pitying look in her eyes.
"Why? You know me? If you know me, why don't you give this girl to me?"
Li Yan naturally heard Su Yue's question, but that look made him very uncomfortable.
"Heh..." Su Yue smiled contemptuously. Of course she knew Li Yan. Li Yan was Li Yan's brother and the legitimate son of Minister Li.
Because he was addicted to women, had no ambition to make progress, and relied on his father, the Shangshu, for food, drink, whoring and gambling, and did not care about other things at all, it was normal that Li Yan did not recognize him.
In his previous life, not long after he came back, he died among women. At that time, the Shangshu Mansion was the laughing stock of the entire imperial city. From top to bottom, everyone knew about it.
Now, by chance, I met the living Li Yan. However, judging from his complexion and the time that has passed, his body is probably almost exhausted.
"What are you laughing at?" Li Yan hated it most in his life when others looked down on him, especially women. He clearly heard the disdain in the smile of the woman in front of him.
"I laugh at you. You won't live long, but you're still thinking about women."
Su Yue was not going to get involved with him too much. After all, there were more and more people gathered here, so she went straight to the point.
"You little bitch, who are you cursing?" When Li Yan heard Su Yue say that she was about to die, he became furious and stepped forward to punch Su Yue.
Just now, when Gu left, a group of servants left, and the remaining few were arranged by Su Yue to bury Hua Yin's "father" properly. In the field, only Su Yue and Xiao He were left.
When Xiao He saw that her master was about to be beaten, she hurried forward, ready to take the beating for Su Yue, only to see Su Yue pull Xiao He away.
"You've been wetting the bed lately."
These five words, like thunder, shocked everyone present, including the person involved, Li Yan. A slap just landed abruptly on Su Yue's ear.
But the wind from his palm did lift up a strand of yellow hair at Su Yue's temple.
"You...you...you..." Li Yan widened his eyes and said the word "you" three times, but he couldn't say the next words.
Because Su Yue was right. Since the day before yesterday, he suddenly wet the bed for no apparent reason. He was already in his twenties, and wetting the bed was an absolute shame and humiliation.
These past two days, whenever he found himself wetting the bed, he would burn the sheets and quilts.
So he promised that not only the little girl in front of him, but even his personal servant didn't know that he wet the bed. How did this little girl know? !
"Me what? How did I know? I also know that you are going to die. Do you want to hear it?" Su Yue glanced at Li Yan again, her tone full of disdain.
When everyone present saw Li Yan's reaction, they probably knew that what the girl said about wetting the bed was true, and they started whispering to each other.
"Get out, get out... Get out of here! I'm the Shangshu's son. If you stay here any longer, I'll let my father punish you!"
When Li Yan saw that people around him were pointing fingers at him, he immediately became angry and started to chase them away.
When everyone heard the man introduce himself, they didn't dare to continue watching and dispersed. However, most people stopped not far away and watched.
A few smart ones deliberately chose to stand in the leeward direction with umbrellas in hand. After all, they could hear the sound more clearly there.
"Silly girl, what do you mean?" Li Yan looked at Su Yue with a dark face after seeing everyone leave.
