After a while, Wu Weian came into the secret room.
He pulled a box from the wall and unlocked the complicated lock.
Inside, there were several human skins.
Wu Weian pursed his lips tightly, with a cold face, and took out the human skin, revealing a silver note worth one thousand taels and fifty taels of silver at the bottom.
Then he put another one thousand taels of silver note in his arms in it and covered it with human skin.
Chapter 48 Someone is eyeing my savings
Old Man Fang and Old Lady Fang were originally locked in the room, cursing loudly, throwing cups and smashing chairs, but when they were brought in front of Ji Yunxi, they didn't dare to say a word.
The conditions in the village are not as good as those in the city, and the best rooms seem a bit simple to Baofu.
But for the old man and old lady of the Fang family who were born and raised in the countryside, this living room was the most luxurious they had ever seen in their lives.
There were sandalwood tables and chairs that looked to be of extremely fine quality, several large basins of ice placed on the side, and a distinguished guest sitting in the hall.
The noble lady had a very good appearance. She had a golden peony pinned in her bun, complemented by a white jade hairpin, simple but exquisite earrings, a bright red inner skirt embroidered with auspicious patterns, a moon-white gauze dress draped over her, and a golden belt tied around her waist that matched her hair accessories.
The nobleman was leaning against the chair, his fingertips stained light pink, holding a delicate and exquisite small round fan, fanning himself intermittently.
Old Mrs. Fang and Old Man Fang didn't even dare to look at each other for a moment. After a few glances, they lowered their heads, looking at each other. All the arrogance and domineering attitude they had just shown in front of the farm manager disappeared, like two old wild chickens and ducks in the countryside with their necks pinched.
The Fang family lived in a remote area, with only a few dozen households in the village. Over the years, only their youngest son had passed the imperial examination.
When the youngest son passed the imperial examination, the adults in the county came specially. When they were kneeling on the ground, they took a sneak peek and felt that the adult was extremely majestic.
But at this moment, the nobleman in the hall had an aura that was much more powerful than that adult. It was obvious that he was not someone they could afford to offend, nor was he someone they could reach.
Ji Yunxi looked at the two old men quietly and gave Baofu next to her a look.
Baofu cleared his throat, squinted his eyes, and said unhappily, "Are you Fang Yuan's parents?"
Old Man Fang was a coward. He glanced at the old woman. She clasped her hands in front of her, looking a little embarrassed. "Yes, yes."
This nobleman's maid doesn't look like someone who is easy to mess with.
Seeing the old couple's inexperienced and timid appearance, Baofu rolled his eyes to the sky, and his tone of voice almost soared when he spoke: "Were you the ones who reported our housekeeper to the Ministry of Justice? You said that our housekeeper killed your son?"
Baofu spoke directly, without any reservations or consideration for the parents' feelings. He acted as if to say, "I can talk to you because your ancestors have appeared to you, and you should be grateful."
If someone else had said this, Old Lady Fang would have definitely scolded her, but she didn't even dare to look at the maidservant with such a fierce face, because if you looked at her, her eyes would definitely glare at you fiercely: "Yes, we did report that bitch, Miss Noble, that bitch is not a good person. She has been lazy and gluttonous since she was a child, and she also steals things! Now she even killed my son! My son treated her so well, and she actually had the heart to do that! What a vicious heart she has! Miss Noble, you must not trust her, she is a habitual liar!"
The people who came to the village to look for them and brought them to the capital told them that the little bitch was now favored by a certain young lady and became the manager of some gambling house! Is this young lady in the hall?
Before meeting this young lady, Old Lady Fang thought that she was simply blind. But after meeting her, Old Lady Fang felt that the cheap girl must have used some tricks to climb up the social ladder!
If this young lady can let the little girl be the manager, maybe she can also let her daughter be the manager!
She also has a daughter who is countless times better than that bitch!
Ji Yunxi lowered her eyes and finally spoke: "You are right. This manager did deceive me."
Old Mrs. Fang's face lit up with joy.
Ji Yunxi continued, "Because of her, my shop lost a lot of money. Money is secondary, but what I hate most is being cheated. I can't swallow this."
Old Lady Fang raised her head, her face beaming with joy as she consoled him, "My dear lady, why are you so angry with that bitch? It's not worth it to get yourself hurt by anger! And I'm afraid that bitch will be beheaded soon!"
Ji Yunxi slowly shook her head: "No, I want to rescue her from the Ministry of Justice."
Old Lady Fang paused: "This——"
Ji Yunxi curled her lips and smiled: "When a person dies, they are relieved. She feels better, but I can't let go of this anger."
Baofu stood aside, looking down at the old couple from the Fang family. Upon hearing this, she expertly picked up her young lady's words, her tone extremely vicious: "That's right, young lady. In my opinion, we should bring that Fang steward out of prison, lock her up at home, chop off her ears, gouge out her eyes, and amputate her limbs. Those who betrayed and sold out young lady should be made to suffer while they are still alive. They shouldn't be allowed to have the chance of death!"
Old Man Fang and Old Man Fang took a cold breath, both with fear on their faces, and looked at Ji Yunxi and Baofu with caution in their eyes.
But then again, this noble man is right! Letting that bitch die like this, wouldn't that be too easy for her?!
Seeing that the time was almost right, Ji Yunxi lazily said, "I have an idea and would like you two to do me a favor. After it's done, I will give you four thousand taels as a token of my gratitude."
The old couple of the Fang family suddenly raised their heads, their faces filled with shock! They were even more shocked than when someone from the capital came to find them and told them that their youngest son had been killed by a bitch.
After all, they had many children, six sons and two daughters. Although they had spoiled their youngest son since he was a child, they were not short of sons.
But they are short of money.
The wives in the family have two more fat grandchildren. With so many people in the family, money is needed everywhere.
