The carriage was surrounded by a crowd in front, blocking its way.
I'm afraid it won't get better in a short while.
Aunt Hua was about to tell the driver to take a detour.
"No hurry, let's go down and take a look first."
Zhao Yunzhu's face was solemn. She had just seen a woman in the crowd being harassed.
Now that we've met, we can't just ignore it.
Aunt Hua was hesitant, but seeing that the eldest lady was determined, she had no choice but to follow.
After getting off the carriage, he told the driver to turn around and wait at the other end of the alley.
Nanny Hua pushed through the crowd, Zhao Yunzhu walked behind, and Linglong stood behind the eldest lady.
I saw a girl in a white and green dress on the long street. Her face was dirty, but her bright eyes could not hide her beauty.
"Still want to run? I'll beat you to death today!"
A woman in a purple dress, with pearls and jade on her head and a face covered with thick makeup, exudes a demonic aura from head to toe.
She held a wooden stick in her hand and was about to hit the girl who was curled up on the ground.
The girl's body was shaking violently, her innocent eyes filled with grievance.
She held her head tightly with both hands and shook her head repeatedly, "Mother Zhu, you are mistaken, you must be mistaken——"
"Oh, what a mistake! It's written in black and white, crystal clear. Your father sold you to our Full Moon Tower for ten taels of silver. You belong to our Full Moon Tower now. I'm going to teach you a lesson today. If you dare to run around again, I'll break your legs and throw you into a mass grave!"
Before the girl could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by the person called Mother Zhu.
Mother Zhu pulled out a contract of sale from her bosom, waved it in front of the young girl, and then handed it to the crowd. "Everyone, this is written in black and white. Daya's father sold her to our Manyue Tower for ten taels of silver. We are a legitimate business and would never do anything like bullying men or women."
"But this deal is signed in black and white. Even if we go to the county government office today, I still have the confidence."
"Everyone, please stop meddling in other people's business today!"
Mother Zhu's last sentence contained a hint of warning.
Zhao Yunzhu just understood what had happened.
"Mother Zhu, please give me a chance. I will definitely earn money to pay you back. Please let me go. I don't want to go to Full Moon Tower."
Daya hurriedly knelt on the ground, clasped her hands together, and her voice was hoarse and choked, full of pleading.
Tears fell one after another. It was really heartbreaking to see.
"What a joke, Daya, don't be ungrateful. My Full Moon Tower will not treat you unfairly. From now on, you can just eat and drink delicious food and have no worries. Good days are ahead!"
Mother Zhu used both kindness and force.
Daya was not moved at all, "Mother Zhu, please, please be kind."
Where is Full Moon Tower? It's a famous brothel in Chang'an.
Once you enter the Full Moon Tower, you'll probably have to wait until your next life to get out.
She couldn't go, even if she died.
Seeing that Mother Zhu had no room for negotiation, Daya suddenly pulled the silver hairpin from her bun. To everyone's astonishment, she pressed the hairpin hard against her neck. In an instant, bright red blood gushed out.
"Then please ask Mother Zhu to take my body back to Full Moon Tower!"
As soon as Daya raised her hand, the hairpin was about to pierce her neck.
The servant beside Mother Zhu had practiced martial arts. He was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and kicked Daya hard to the ground.
Daya suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and the silver hairpin in her hand had already been snatched away.
Two old women came forward and held Daya's arms tightly.
"You're really asking for death by not accepting my toast!"
Bang!
Mother Zhu stepped forward and slapped Daya hard in the face.
Daya couldn't break free, the light in her eyes gradually dimmed, her face was ashen, and there was no hope at all.
I saw that Mother Zhu was about to slap me hard again.
"stop!"
Zhao Yunzhu shouted harshly and glared at Mother Zhu with a cold brow.
Mother Zhu turned back suspiciously and looked behind her. She saw that Zhao Yunzhu was dressed in ordinary clothes. Chang'an City was full of dignitaries. If she made a mistake, she would accidentally offend a noble.
Mother Zhu runs the Manyue Tower, so naturally she is the best at judging people.
Zhao Yunzhu was not wearing any decent silk or satin.
There wasn't even a single piece of extra jewelry on her hair.
"Hey, who is this lady? How dare she run to the gate of my Full Moon Tower and act wildly?"
Mother Zhu crossed her arms and had a sly smile on her face.
"I'll redeem Daya's indenture!"
Zhao Yunzhu had a blank expression on her face. She glanced at Mother Zhu and said, "Mother Zhu, just name a price."
Mother Zhu sneered and looked Zhao Yunzhu up and down with a look of contempt on her face. "Oh, such an arrogant tone."
After saying that, Mother Zhu stretched out a finger and waved it in front of her eyes, "I'm afraid that even if the woman emptied her family's savings, she wouldn't be able to come up with it."
"One hundred taels?"
Seeing Mother Zhu nod, the money in and out increased tenfold.
The crowd gasped.
This Mrs. Zhu is really asking for too much.
"Okay, deal."
Seeing Zhao Yunzhu agreed readily, Mother Zhu's eyes widened, her face full of surprise.
Seeing the hundred taels of silver handed over, Mother Zhu cursed inwardly, thinking that she had really made a mistake today.
I had just wanted to make things difficult for Zhao Yunzhu, but I didn't expect that she would actually do it.
If she was asked to really give up Daya, how could Mother Zhu be willing to do so?
Daya's appearance is worth more than just one hundred taels.
“I won’t sell it!”
Mother Zhu spoke in a harsh tone and was ruthless.
There was a noisy chatter from the crowd.
"Mother Zhu, you're running a business with your door open, but you're breaking your promise like this. Isn't that a joke?"
Zhao Yunzhu said sarcastically.
