"A dignified first-rank general is only worth three hundred taels of silver in your eyes?"
"How many do you want?"
Yang Cui smiled and said, "At least add another zero."
You Xinyan exclaimed in shock, "Three thousand taels!!! Why don't you just rob me?"
The entire You family's businesses combined only bring in a little over a thousand taels of silver a year, yet Yang Cui asked for three years' worth of their profits in one go!
“Robbing is illegal!” Yang Cui shrugged and said, “If you can’t bear to part with it, that’s fine…”
Before Yang Cui could finish speaking, she noticed Cen Xiao standing at the door with a livid face, and Yang Cui immediately felt a little guilty.
Chen Shujun and You Xinyan were also somewhat apprehensive: "General Cen... General Cen..."
Cen Xiao's face was as black as ink, and his eyes seemed capable of devouring a person: "Get lost!"
The mother and daughter were so frightened that their legs trembled. They helped each other out of the village. Just as they got there, they heard Cen Xiao say again, "Dao Ba, throw them out. They are never to set foot in Anjia Village again!"
At the command, before anyone could react, two heavy thuds were heard as objects fell to the ground.
You Xinyan burst into tears, and Chen Shujun felt that she had lost all face in her life, so she pretended to faint.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know?"
...
The guests looked at each other, completely bewildered.
When Madam You saw this, her mind went blank, and it took her a while to react. This was her sister-in-law and her niece; with such a thing happening, she had lost all face.
Yuan Qiu, Er Ya, and San Ya grabbed brooms and rushed over, slamming them down on the two men: "You dare bully my mother! You dare bully my mother! We'll beat you two big bad guys to death!"
An Xiaohu didn't know what had happened, but after hearing Yuan Qiu's words, she assumed that Yang Cui had been bullied, and immediately joined in: "I'll teach you to bully my sister! I'll teach you to bully my sister!"
Wen and An Dafu immediately went over and pulled the children apart, asking hurriedly, "What happened?"
Yuan Qiu pointed at You Xinyan and said angrily, "She wants to steal my godfather from my godmother!"
"What?"
"Isn't this just kidnapping the bride?"
"I never would have guessed! The city's elites are all so shameless. Are all the men in the city dead? Coming here to steal Xiao Cui's man!"
"To ruin someone's joyous occasion, how can anyone do that!"
"They're not even as good as us country folk! They're shameless!"
………
Condemnation and condemnation poured in.
Hearing these words, Madam You felt ashamed. Who among those present didn't know they were in cahoots? Chen Shujun and You Xinyan had angered General Cen, and she was worried that it would affect her husband Yin Zhihua's future.
"Eighth Master, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! It must be a misunderstanding." You Xinyan had no choice but to step forward and plead for mercy.
"Those two are not allowed to set foot in Anjia Village again. Get out of here!"
With many onlookers watching the spectacle, Madam You dared not plead any further, lest she lose even more face. She thought she should go back and ask Chen Shujun what she and her daughter had done to make General Cen so angry! She would have to think of a way to make amends later.
"Yes, yes, I'll take them away right away."
Despite her anger, Madam You led Chen Shujun and You Xinyan away from the scene.
The villagers were even more surprised!
They didn't know the identity of the You family, but judging from their clothes and appearance, they could guess that they were definitely not ordinary people. But why were they so afraid of Dao Ba and Cen Xiao?
"What else could it be? He must be afraid of the Star Gazing Tower! Surely Cen Daniu doesn't have some other identity!"
"That's right. I've heard the owner of the Star Gazing Tower is incredibly powerful. Our Xiao Cui is so capable, the Star Gazing Tower respects her, so everyone else should definitely respect her too!"
...
Outside, there was much discussion and a great deal of noise, but the atmosphere inside the house was not so pleasant.
Cen Xiao looked at Yang Cui, his face full of unhappiness.
"You seem unhappy?" Yang Cui spoke first. "Don't be angry. Although their intentions are impure, but..."
Before Yang Cui could finish speaking, Cen Xiao had already moved closer and pressed himself against her.
Bed slam!
She was actually pinned down on the bed!
Looking at the flawless face before her, Yang Cui couldn't help but swallow hard.
"You...you...get off me!" Otherwise I'm going to lose control!
She tried to push him away with both hands, but he grabbed her tightly with his broad hands and lifted her above her head: "You sold me for three thousand taels? Hmm?" His hot breath tickled her ear.
Yang Cui: "..." She seriously suspected that this guy was using his looks to seduce her!
"Hehe! How could that be? I just wanted to swindle them out of three thousand taels of silver." Yang Cui said, looking aggrieved. "They humiliated me on my wedding day, so I have to get some interest! Of course, even if they gave me thirty thousand taels, I would never sell you! Really! I swear!"
Cen Xiao's expression finally softened.
Yang Cui struggled a few times, but Cen Xiao still wouldn't let go or get up.
Yang Cui had no choice but to continue with sweet talk: "Everything I said is true! You have to believe me, you're beautiful, capable, powerful, kind-hearted, and full of virtues. You exude an alluring... attractive charm. Every woman would want to have you as her own and wouldn't be willing to sell you off. Oh, unless she's blind! Look at my big, beautiful eyes, am I blind?"
After saying that, Yang Cui sighed again: "Alas, if it weren't for my bad background, I would have turned our fake relationship into a real one long ago."
Cen Xiao's eyes lit up immediately: "You said it yourself, don't regret it!"
"Huh? I..."
Before Yang Cui could react, Cen Xiao had already kissed her lips.
His kisses were utterly unskilled, awkward yet domineering. Men, however, are usually innate at this, and gradually, they seemed to become tender and affectionate.
Her whole body went numb from his kisses, her head was spinning, and she gradually forgot to resist, reflexively returning his kiss.
"Godmother, I've taught them a lesson, from now on..." Yuan Qiu rushed in, intending to tell Yang Cui that he had already disciplined Chen Shujun and You Xinyan, but unexpectedly, he saw...
Yang Cui and Cen Xiao were so engrossed in their kiss that they immediately separated upon hearing the noise, their faces turning as red as boiled shrimp.
Cen Xiao was both angry and embarrassed: "Who let you in?! You ruined my plans!! How awful!!!"
Yuan Qiu probably realized he had caused trouble, so he immediately ran out again and even closed the door behind him.
Er Ya and San Ya wanted to come in, but Yuan Qiu stopped them: "Don't go in. Godfather and Godmother are about to have a younger brother. Don't disturb them."
Cen Xiao and Yang Cui: "..."
Hearing Yuan Qiu's words, An Huangshi outside couldn't help but burst into laughter.
This made the atmosphere in the room even more awkward.
Cen Xiao stared intently at Yang Cui, still savoring the sweet and delicious kiss from just now.
Yang Cui turned her face away shyly: "Well... you should go out and keep the guests company."
Before leaving, Cen Xiao gave her a hard peck on the lips.
