"I haven't made enough trouble yet, can I just stay here?" Chu Weiyue was not embarrassed at all, and sat beside Wen Jingchi carefree.
Wen Jingchi was so annoyed by her that he had no temper at all and could only walk away in anger.
As he was going to the black market tomorrow, Chu Weiyue was so excited that he couldn't sleep well the whole night.
When the next night came, she disguised herself and wore a simple blue dress.
Wen Jingchi took off his fine clothes and wore more shabby clothes, but it still couldn't conceal the noble aura that emanated from him.
Looking at his tall figure and handsome features, Chu Weiyue couldn't help but click her tongue a few times.
A handsome guy is a handsome guy, and just a few glances at him can make people excited.
When Wen Jingchi noticed that Chu Weiyue was looking at him again, his face darkened instantly and he flicked her forehead.
"What's wrong with a few glances? It won't cost you a piece of meat. Besides, aren't you there for people to see?" Chu Weiyue muttered softly, snorting a few times in dissatisfaction.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the largest black market near the capital.
I thought the atmosphere in the black market was very weird, but who would have thought it was actually very interesting, with many small gadgets that you don’t usually see.
Some people came just to join in the fun and actually put out a few gourds or pumpkins or other vegetables.
For a moment, it felt like a vegetable market.
Suddenly, a beautiful jade pendant caught Chu Weiyue's attention. The jade pendant was actually bright red.
After inquiring about the price, he paid the money to buy it and put it around his waist.
Wen Jingchi's face darkened and he bent down to ask.
"Boss, where is the cloth shop here? I want to buy some cloth to make clothes for my wife."
Chu Weiyue was stunned for a moment, somewhat confused.
The shopkeeper reacted immediately and pointed to a bun shop not far away with a smile.
"There are a lot of clothes there. You can pick a few at random. Their clothes racks are of the best quality."
After expressing his thanks, he left a silver bean and took Chu Weiyue to the bun shop.
Chu Weiyue then realized that the clothes they were talking about were actually the place where children were bought and sold.
When they arrived at the steamed bun shop, they explained their purpose but were stopped by them.
A bald man walked out and his men immediately greeted him.
Chu Weiyue then realized that the man was the shopkeeper here.
"You two come here so late in the evening, are you here to eat buns?" The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes and looked kind, but he was full of vigilance.
"You come here so late at night and don't eat buns. Are you here to have fun? I heard that your buns are thin-skinned and have big fillings. Give me two baskets!"
Wen Jingchi was full of confidence and did not stumble at all.
He continued to ask a few more questions, as if they were speaking in secret.
Chu Weiyue stood there in shock the whole time, watching the two of them chatting.
After chatting for about a quarter of an hour, it finally passed all the reviews.
The shopkeeper's expression immediately changed, and he gestured to them with a smile, "Please come in, both of you."
Chu Weiyue then held her head high and walked in with a swagger, while Wen Jingchi walked behind her, giving the impression that they were a couple following each other's lead.
After they found a seat and sat down, the waiter served them tea and water.
Chu Weiyue noticed that there were a few couples dressed as couples sitting there drinking tea and eating buns.
But obviously, their real purpose was not to come here to eat.
At this moment, a couple was seen holding a baby in their arms and walking away with a smile on their faces. The shopkeeper personally sent them out.
After letting them wait for a while, the bald man finished serving other customers and sat down next to them.
"It must have been difficult for you two to find out about this place. Tell me, what do you want?" He didn't like beating around the bush and was straightforward.
Chu Weiyue gave him a cold look and said, "What else can you do? Of course you want to buy a child! Bring your children here and let us take a look. I'll pick out a good-looking one."
"There are plenty of children, but I don't know why you two want to buy one. Don't mind me, this is just a routine matter."
This sentence successfully exposed his doubts.
Wen Jingchi frowned, unable to think of a suitable excuse for a moment.
When he wanted to give other reasons, Chu Weiyue beat him to it.
She sighed deeply, her eyes were red and seemed to be filled with tears.
"To be honest, my husband and I eloped that year. We originally wanted to have a boy or girl before returning home, even if our family members didn't accept it. Who would have thought that we would be hungry and not have any children after five or six years? We had no choice but to buy a child to make up the number..."
At the end of his speech, Chu Weiyue wiped his eyes with great emotion.
Wen Jingchi frowned awkwardly. Although he was not satisfied, this excuse was reasonable, so he nodded embarrassedly.
"My wife is right. If you don't have any other options, who would buy someone else's child? We have no experience with children who are too young, and it would be too troublesome to raise them. So let's find a four or five-year-old one."
Then Wen Jingchi immediately added a few more sentences.
"Remember, you must find us someone with a clean background. Don't find someone who is involved in a lot of entanglements. We don't want to be found by the child's parents in the future."
"Don't worry, sir. Our children are absolutely safe! But the price is..."
He didn't say the rest, but showed a cunning smile.
Chu Weiyue understood what he meant and took out an ingot of silver from his pocket, a total of fifty taels.
Seeing how generous they were, the bald man was reluctant to take the money.
"You two may not understand our rules here. One child costs eighty taels."
"Why don't you go rob the money? You're asking for eighty taels? I think you'd better forget it!" Chu Weiyue slammed the table angrily and turned to leave.
Wen Jingchi knew what she meant and wanted to leave with her, but was stopped by the bald man.
"Don't be angry, we have something to talk about. Since you think eighty taels of silver is too expensive, then sixty taels will do. Let's each take a step back and let me earn my hard-earned money. After all, it's very difficult to get this child, and you two look like wealthy people..."
This shopkeeper knew how to lobby very well. He not only said all the nice things but also made many suggestive remarks.
These happened to be exactly what Chu Weiyue wanted, so he took out another ten taels of silver and put them in front of him.
After taking the silver, the steward took them to the backyard with a smile on his face.
There is a large room at the back where all the children waiting to be purchased are held.
The oldest child here is no more than seven or eight years old; many are three or four years old, and some are babies in swaddling clothes.
This scene made Chu Weiyue's face turn dark instantly, and his teeth itched with hatred.
How could they do such a heartless thing that they didn't even spare a child who was only a few years old? How painful it must be for the parents.
If they fell into her hands, she would beat them to death and fry them in a frying pan!
