The stalemate didn't last long. The woman who had originally delivered the news came back in, her voice trembling as she said, "Mother Yan, the government officials have left again!"
"What?!" Yan's mother screamed.
After standing for a long time, Jiang Huaixu sat on the steps next to him and asked, "Can we talk now?"
Mother Yan calmed down instantly after seeing the situation clearly. She looked at Yun Qi who was walking towards her. Her mind, which had been swollen with anger, became active again. She felt regretful. She should have known at first glance that this person named "Yun Qi" was a well-hidden person, but now it seemed as if she was blinded by greed and didn't notice it at all.
No matter how much she regrets it, she has someone above her, so what is there to be afraid of?
"I've already promised someone else that these two can't be let go easily. If you want to take them away, bring the money so I can have an explanation."
"Explain, what do you want to explain? Are you and that drunkard from the Liu family a mistress, or do you know the widow named Qiao? My aunt has already received the divorce letter from the Liu family. Logically, she is no longer a member of the Liu family. They shouldn't and can't sell my aunt to such a filthy place. As for the fingerprints on the indenture, you know how they got them. I'll say it one last time. I'll take her away, and this is the money—"
Jiang Huaixu threw a tael of silver in front of Yan's mother and said, "If you don't agree, you will suffer some physical pain..."
The government officials had been dealt with, and the last trace of smile on Jiang Huaixu's face disappeared. She slowly raised the crossbow in her hand, aimed it at Mother Yan, and placed her right thumb on the mechanism and pressed it down.
The crossbow arrow flew past Yan's mother's cheek. She screamed in shock and dared not move.
Jiang Huaixu didn't stop his movements. Just as he was about to shoot the second arrow, Yan's mother shouted, "She, they are not prostitutes!"
The action stopped, and Jiang Huaixu raised his chin to signal her to continue.
Mother Yan trembled and said, "At the beginning, they said they would put them and their daughter under my control to be tortured, but I knew they were decent citizens, so I delayed going to the government to change their status to slavery..."
Jiang Huaixu interrupted her: "Where's the indenture?"
"I pressed their fingerprints while they were unconscious to scare them."
"Who told you to do this? Liu Sanrong or Widow Qiao?"
"Widow Qiao." Mother Yan said with regret, "She and I used to be from the same hometown, and it was just a matter of convenience. Who knew that I would get into trouble with you..."
"Sister, you're still very beautiful as long as you don't talk." Jiang Huaixu returned to his sweet words. "One last question, where do Liu Sanrong's family live now?"
"How should I know that?"
Jiang Huaixu saw that her face was pale and she spoke without thinking, thinking that she was not lying, so he said: "I will take the person away, and this ingot of silver will be used as medical expenses. Goodbye, sister."
Standing up, Jiang Huaixu signaled Jiang Tao and Liu Ye'er to follow her. Jiang Tao immediately pulled Liu Ye'er and followed.
This time they went through the main entrance.
When passing by Yan's mother, Jiang Huaixu whispered something, and Yan's mother's pale face instantly warmed up. She touched her face and asked unsurely: "Really?"
Jiang Huaixu smiled and said, "Just find someone to try it and you'll know."
"You are quite sensible, little girl." Mother Yan's eyes flashed with expectation, and she reluctantly praised Jiang Huaixu.
"My secret recipe is priceless. Since I've told you for free, let's make a deal: you won't do anything to us."
Mother Yan was dumbfounded. Who told you that?
Jiang Huaixu, however, left Cangchunlou with his men without looking back.
As soon as they left Cangchunlou, Liu Yeer couldn't help but ask, "Mute girl? Are you my uncle's daughter?"
"It's me, cousin."
"Didn't you not know how to speak? Now you become... so amazing." Liu Ye'er didn't know how to describe the feeling this little cousin gave her just now, and finally squeezed out "so amazing".
While answering Liu Ye'er's question, Jiang Huaixu asked Fu Tuan: [Is anyone following us?]
[No, host.] Fu Tuan whispered, [The old woman said your aunt and cousin are worthless and not worth making a fuss about. Host, can milk make my hair brighter?]
It just heard the host tell the old woman that milk and pearl powder can be taken internally or externally for beauty and skin care, and it also wants to try it!
[It's shameful to waste food. Don't even think about asking me to buy you milk.]
Futuan pouted: [——Oh! ]
After finishing his conversation with Fu Tuan, Jiang Huaixu asked his aunt, "Aunt, do you want revenge?"
Jiang Tao, who didn't expect to leave Cangchunlou so easily, was now confused and followed Jiang Huaixu closely all the way without saying a word.
When she heard Jiang Huaixu ask her, she uttered "Huh?" and said bitterly, "Mute sister, you don't know that your aunt... Liu Sanrong's youngest sister married a wealthy family in Yaozhou City. That wealthy family seems to have a very good relationship with the government. How can we fight against them?"
Jiang Huaixu was about to say something else when he heard someone shout, "Miss Jiang!"
It’s Chen Wu.
Jiang Huaixu: "Let's go, go back first."
The group hurried to the street corner where Boss Jiang was guarding.
After saying goodbye to Chen Wu, the brother and sister who had not seen each other for a long time were extremely excited when they met each other and wanted to hug each other and cry bitterly.
Yun Qi stared at Jiang Huaixu's small cloth bag for a long time. Taking advantage of the fact that Uncle Jiang and his sister were unable to finish their words, he moved closer to Jiang Huaixu and whispered, "Take out your crossbow and let me see it."
Jiang Huaixu glanced at him and moved aside. "It's just a small bamboo crossbow. What's so good about it?"
"Bamboo crossbow?" Yun Qi frowned slowly, "Why is it black?"
"It's dyed with ink."
"It looks quite heavy."
"You have eye problems."
“······The surface is shiny.”
"Polished."
Cloud Seven: ······
The two fell into a long silence.
By the time the brother and sister finished talking, it was already late. Boss Jiang was pulling his donkey cart to the city gate to wait for someone.
Just as he picked up the reins, he remembered something and asked, "By the way, where's Huaisheng? Doesn't he know that you were divorced by that bastard?"
"Huaisheng, Huaisheng..." Jiang Tao murmured sadly, unable to speak for a long time.
Boss Jiang reacted and spat in a low voice: "This bastard!"
Jiang Tao forced a smile: "Brother, it's all over. Let's leave the city first, otherwise the city gate will be closed soon."
