Chapter 633 Take it easy
As the manager had said, they not only slept with a virgin for free, but also received a reward of one tael of silver.
From then on, the person in charge would visit him several times every ten days or so, and the brothers enjoyed doing so.
The reason for seeking out unfamiliar faces this time was that the person in charge said there were many people this time, and therefore many more people were needed, so they were asked to bring a few more.
The brothers only did this to fill in the numbers of disaster victims, just to get by.
"So, you've never seen Mrs. He?"
After listening to the burly man's account, Yun Yichen wanted to punch these bastards who didn't care about women's honor to death. But he knew that as the presiding judge, he couldn't. Not only could he not, he also had to induce the burly man to reveal more secrets.
Before the big man even started speaking, Madam He's hands had already unconsciously clenched into fists. Now, upon hearing Yun Yichen's question, she couldn't sit still any longer and wanted to stand up.
Seeing her like this, He Biyou quickly reached out to stop her, saying, "Madam, please calm down."
He Biyou's words reassured Madam He somewhat, while Yun Yichen and Ji Wenjin both looked over.
As martial artists, their hearing was much better than that of ordinary people. In addition, the two of them were not far apart, so they heard everything clearly.
"I've never seen it. It's always the steward who gives the orders. Even when we arrive at the He residence, it's the steward who takes care of us," the burly man continued.
Gu Shuyan, who was standing to the side, gradually calmed down from her initial agitation and anger.
She carefully recalled the big man's words and felt that the matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Moreover, the reason the old woman gave for leaving was unreasonable.
There are many officials in the capital, and many of them do not want their children to be corrupted by maids, but none of them have done such a heinous thing.
Moreover, there are probably some unknown things behind what those girls who left said.
"Husband, something seems amiss. Why don't we have them all taken away first, and then question them when the old woman arrives?"
Gu Shuyan leaned closer to Yun Yichen and whispered something. Yun Yichen also felt that it was a bit unreasonable, so he nodded and simply went into the tent to wait for the people who went to bring the old woman back.
In no time at all, the old woman was dragged in, the two of them were thrown to the ground, and the soldiers stepped aside.
"Are you two servants of the He family?" Yun Yichen asked.
The two old women were inexplicably dragged back and thrown to the ground. Just as they were about to start cursing, they looked up and saw this horrifying scene.
Although the old woman didn't know Yun Yichen's identity, seeing him in the main seat, she knew that his status was definitely higher than that of their master.
“This servant, Wang Pozi, is a minor steward in the He household. To her, she is merely a lowly servant under my command.”
Hearing Wang Pozi's words, which carried a hint of ingratiation, Yun Yichen immediately retorted angrily, "Did I ask you? Doesn't she have a mouth? Can't she just tell me herself?"
Yun Yichen, a man who rarely gets angry, couldn't help but lose his temper when he saw the culprit, Granny Wang, acting without any restraint.
Startled by Yun Yichen's words, Granny Wang immediately lowered her head and patted her chest.
This adult is terrifying! How dare he show such disrespect to me? Doesn't he fear offending his master?
The old woman was still lost in her own thoughts when she heard Yun Yichen coldly say, "I've heard that in your He family, the rules are that any maid who enters the household must go through some kind of intermediary process before she can be admitted?"
Others would buy maids who were virgins, but their family was different; they would buy maids who were virgins! Thinking of this, Yun Yichen's lips curled into a mocking smile.
"How could that be? When hiring a maid, she must have a clean background!"
The old woman didn't understand the situation and blurted out the answer without thinking. Only after she finished speaking did she realize that she had fallen into the other party's trap.
"No, I was talking about someone else's maid!" The old woman glanced at Madam He, trying to salvage the situation, but the more she spoke, the more inappropriate it sounded.
Before the old woman could figure out what to say, Yun Yichen waved his hand and said, "Bring the person in for a confrontation."
This time, Yun Yichen only summoned the burly man and one of the older women.
The three women stood in the middle, and the woman pointed at Granny Wang first and said, "Sir, she's the one who forced us to come here. She said she wanted us to be short-term laborers for two months, but who doesn't know that they're doing something heinous?"
The woman was still seething with anger at the thought that she had almost been violated.
"It was your parents who sold you to me, so how did I force you?"
If the old woman still doesn't realize that things have been exposed by now, then all her years of managing things have been for nothing.
"And what about me? Was I also sold to you by my family?"
Gu Shuyan suddenly spoke, and the old woman looked at her. Seeing that Gu Shuyan's eyes showed no trace of her previous gullibility, the old woman immediately realized what was going on.
"It's you! You little slut, how dare you trip me up?"
The old woman was not truly worldly-wise. Even though Yun Yichen had temporarily intimidated her, she couldn't help but curse when she thought that Gu Shuyan was the one who ruined the plan.
This time, there was no need for Gu Shuyan to react; He Biyou was the first to stand up for her.
"Are you blind? Can't you even see who this is? This is the Prime Minister's wife, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Yi'an's mansion."
He Biyou almost wanted to kick this old woman to death. She's more trouble than she's worth. Doesn't she even know what the situation is, or who she's talking to? How dare she speak to Gu Shuyan like that?
"Lord He, please don't be angry. My wife is not such a petty person."
However, I don't know if I'm such a petty person.
After saying that, Yun Yichen silently added a sentence in his mind.
"Old Wang, I ask you, why have you been seeking out these girls for several months in a row?"
Wang Pozi looked at everyone in a daze after hearing this, and finally, under everyone's gaze, her eyes fell on Madam He.
At this point, Madam He finally couldn't sit still any longer.
"Why are you looking at me like that? All I asked you to do was ask you to find two maids. Who knows what shameful things you've been doing behind my back?"
Madam He's words seemed to be trying to distance herself from Granny Wang, but she gave Granny Wang a warning glare in her eyes.
Wang Pozi understood at that glance: Madam He was telling her not to get involved and to let her only son take the blame.
"Madam, I am so sorry. You asked me to find some maids, but I secretly did such a despicable thing. It is all my fault. Please punish me, Madam."
The old woman was shrewd; she knew she couldn't shift the blame to anyone else. Rather than trying to curry favor with Madam He, she decided to openly take the blame.
