Chapter 240: Does justice stand on the side of whoever is good-looking?
Sheng Miaoyi was able to become the headliner of the largest brothel in Quanzhou, so naturally she had a good figure and appearance. Nine out of ten men who went to the brothel for fun were most likely there for her.
She stood at the door of the restaurant, crying softly, wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and occasionally showing everyone her torn clothes. Many men present were heartbroken when they saw it! They all felt sorry for her.
"Oh my! I say, the Yuan family is too bullying, right? Miss Miaoyi is just a weak woman, what wrong could she do?"
"That's right, if you have the guts, go find that guy called Brother Yi?"
"Where would I dare to go? Isn't it just because I see that I can't beat my brother because he's so strong! If you don't dare to take advantage of him, then take advantage of a weak woman?"
"I've really learned a lot. How dare they resort to lynching? Do they really think the Yuan family can do whatever they want in Quanzhou? The laws of Quanzhou don't belong to the Yuan family!"
The people who were talking were getting more and more excited, but they were all mixed in with a group of ordinary people, so their voices were not loud. Everyone was crowded together and pushing and shoving, so it was impossible to find out who was speaking in a sarcastic tone. However, when it fell into the ears of the women of the Yuan family, it was extremely harsh.
The women of the Yuan family who brought people to cause trouble were not Yuan Chengzhou's wives, but concubines that Boss Yuan had taken into the mansion over the years.
Concubines are not something that can be shown in public. Yuan Chengzhou loves money, so the concubines he takes in are naturally a bunch of bad people.
As the saying goes, three women make a drama. Now there are three concubines, won’t it be a mess?
These three concubines usually quarreled with each other for favor, but when it came to helping out, they were united. They were also deceived and promised by Boss Yuan, so they came in a big fuss.
The purpose of their coming today was, first, to deal with a prostitute, and second, to help the master get back the money he had paid as compensation. They had done these things secretly many times before, and every time they did it beautifully for the master.
So when they heard that their master had been cheated out of 100,000 taels of silver, they all couldn't sit still.
One hundred thousand taels of silver!
How many pieces of gold and silver jewelry can they buy? How many new clothes can they make?
They have lived in the wealthy and powerful Yuan Mansion all their lives, but have never seen a hundred thousand taels!
If they could really help the master get the money back, although it would be impossible for all of it to go into their pockets, at least the money would have gone through a clear path and would definitely be put into the public treasury for expenses. Wouldn't that mean they would still benefit from it?
Who wouldn't do something that would benefit them? Besides, the master had promised that if the task was completed, he would reward them with a set of pearl headwear!
That pearl headdress is usually only worn by doctors, and it will be enough for them to show off to other concubines in the mansion.
They had discussed it in advance and would occupy the moral high ground right from the start. They would first accuse the man called "No. 1" of cheating on women and money, and then encourage the onlookers to challenge him. The man called "No. 1" would definitely hand over the money.
But, they haven't even started to perform yet, how come things have gone astray?
Before the man said anything, the onlookers came to help.
For these foolish and lustful men, does justice stand on the side of whoever is good-looking?
They don't even open their eyes to see that in Quanzhou, their master is at least a powerful and wealthy businessman.
