Chapter 111 Making a Deal
Beijing, West Market Street.
Several strong and sturdy women were tearing the clothes of a beautiful woman, cursing at her.
"You slut, you slut, you're trying to seduce other people now that your man is dead, right? Do you have any shame, huh?"
"Sisters, take off her clothes. Since she wants to vent her desires on men, let her do it!"
The women were all used to doing farm work and were extremely strong. They stripped off the clothes while squeezing the beautiful woman's body.
Soon, the beautiful woman's body was covered with bruises and her hair was pulled into a tangled mess.
She desperately grabbed her clothes and shook her head to explain, "I didn't do that. They wanted to do something bad to me. I didn't..."
"Still trying to make excuses! It's obviously you who are a slut, you just cling to any man you see!"
There were many people watching nearby, but they were all pointing and talking, and no one stepped forward to stop it.
There were even many obscene men whistling, waiting to see the beautiful woman's naked and white body.
"don't want……"
As the last piece of clothing was about to be stripped off, the beautiful woman shed tears of despair.
At this moment, a boy of fifteen or sixteen suddenly emerged from the crowd, carrying two buckets of feces, and began to splash them on the women.
“Ahhhhhh!”
The sounds of squeaking and screaming came one after another in an instant.
When the onlookers saw this scene, they immediately covered their mouths and noses in disgust and stepped back.
The women were covered in dirt and were all very disgusted. They didn't want to continue torturing the beautiful woman and ran home to wash and change clothes.
The young man took off his coat, rushed over quickly, and wrapped the beautiful woman's body, "Mom, are you okay?"
The beautiful woman's face was covered with tears, but the moment she saw her son, she suppressed her shame and anger and forced a smile, "Don't worry, Yan'er, I'm fine."
Wen Yan lifted his sleeves and wiped his eyes, then reached out to help his mother up, "Let's go home."
"Okay, let's go home."
At the corner of the street, a carriage opened its door.
Murong Yan looked at the backs of the mother and son as they left, his eyes dark and long.
He lowered the curtain and looked at the people in the car. "The killer mace that the young lady mentioned that can bring down Yang He, are they these two?"
"Why? Doesn't look like her?" Xie Zhuoning raised her lips slightly. The light and shadows in the car outlined half of her bright face. "Mr. Murong, don't underestimate women."
Especially women who have become mothers.
Women are weak by nature, but they become strong when they become mothers.
For their children, they would do anything.
Murong Yan laughed, "I dare not."
How dare he look down on a woman? She alone is enough to make others look up to her.
"Send someone to follow the mother and son. If you find anything unusual, report it immediately."
Xie Zhuoning didn't dare to use the person Xiao Jinxuan gave her, for fear that Congming Jueding would inform him and ruin her careful arrangements.
Fortunately, Murong Yan is now recruiting soldiers and has several capable right-hand men under his command.
In a quiet and secluded alley late at night.
Several big men climbed over the wall into a small courtyard, and then broke open the bedroom door.
Zhou Yaoniang woke up instantly, and when she saw the bandits entering the house openly, she screamed in fear.
"Ah! Who are you? Don't come over here, or I'll call for help!"
Unexpectedly, those people didn't take her warnings and threats seriously at all, and instead burst into laughter.
"You can scream even if your throat hurts, but no one will come to save you!"
"Everyone knows that your husband is very hungry now that your wife Zhou Yaoniang is dead. Any man can sleep with him. If someone hears the noise, they might think you are playing hard to get!"
"That's right. You're still flirting with me during the day, but you forget about me at night? You're really a heartless bitch!"
"Wow, this skin is so tender and white. When I saw it during the day, I wanted to touch it!"
Zhou Yaoniang looked at the disgusting faces in front of her and suddenly remembered something.
These were the people who had been watching her when her clothes were torn off by the mob during the day.
She looked at them for help, but no one offered a helping hand. Instead, they thought she was seducing them.
But what was she wrong?
She was just pretty, but unfortunately her husband died.
Their uncles and cousins bullied them, the orphans and widows, and drove them out of their homes.
They finally found a place to stay, but everyone came to bully them, mother and son.
Those men looked at her with malicious eyes and flirted with her with dirty words, but their women did not say anything bad about their men and only blamed all the faults on her.
Seeing countless pairs of dirty hands reaching out to her body, tears welled up in her eyes and she wished she could die immediately.
"What are you doing? Let my mother go!"
Wen Yan shouted and rushed in with a hatchet, confronting several burly men like a beast.
When those big men saw him, they were not afraid at all. Instead, they raised their eyebrows in mockery.
"Hey, you're not even fully grown yet, but you want to stand out. Do you know how much you are worth?"
"Third brother, tie him up and hang him on the beam. Then let him see with his own eyes how slutty his mother is!"
"Hehe, Er Zhuang is still the best at playing, it's exciting!"
"No, no!" Zhou Yaoniang screamed in despair and struggled desperately. She wished she could kill herself by hitting her head against the wall rather than let her son see her in such a miserable state.
Wen Yan was so angry that his eyes turned red. He swung his hatchet desperately, "I will kill you, I will kill you!"
“Puff——”
Perhaps the big men underestimated their enemy, and his hatchet actually accidentally cut off a man's throat.
When the blood gushed out, everyone was stunned.
If someone dies, it's no longer a joke.
"I want to report to the police. I want to report to the police..."
The remaining few men's faces changed and they immediately crawled away.
Indoors.
Wen Yan looked at the blood on his hands and knelt on the ground trembling, "Mom, I killed someone..."
Zhou Yaoniang felt sad and held back the urge to cry. She pulled up her messy clothes and crawled over to hug her son.
"Don't be afraid, Yan'er. When the officials come, I will take the initiative to admit that I was the one who killed the person. Yan'er will be fine..."
Wen Yan was no longer naive and knew that his mother was only trying to comfort him.
How could he get away with so many eyes seeing him committing murder?
He hugged his mother tightly, "Mom, I don't regret killing people, I only regret letting those beasts escape. If I am executed, what will you do in the future?"
When Zhou Yaoniang heard this, she burst into tears and could no longer hold back.
But at this moment, the men who had escaped were tied up and thrown back into the house.
Zhou Yaoniang and Wen Yan were stunned and looked up at the door at the same time.
Many years later, Wen Yan still remembers this scene——
A beautiful and bright figure walked in under the bright moonlight.
Her clear and melodious voice is as sweet as that of a fairy.
"Would you like to make a deal with me?"
