He glanced at his companions and planned in his mind that when the time comes, he would pretend to sell her, but actually keep her at home.
Having such a beautiful lady as a wife seems not bad, but she probably doesn't know how to wash clothes or cook, so she'll have to learn slowly...
Unexpectedly, the square-faced man spoke before him: "What do you think of me?"
"You?" Yu Huan feigned interest and said timidly, "I don't even know what you do."
When they said this, the two men suddenly became arrogant and patted their chests and said, "Within this ten-mile radius, who doesn't know the names of Yang Laoqi and Hu Zongtou?"
Yu Huan opened his eyes wide, as if he really thought they were amazing, and listened to their boasting: "If you don't believe me, just go out and ask around. From south to north on this street, there's no one who doesn't know us."
"You know, Mr. Gao, the owner of the teahouse by the bridge, even if he sees us, he has to politely call us brothers..."
Yu Huan intentionally stalled for time, feigning surprise, "Really? Even he has to respect you?"
Shock is the best form of support.
The round-faced Hu Zongtou was even more arrogant, boasting: "How dare he disrespect us? The young master is standing behind us..."
"Young Master?" Yu Huan heard them talking about this person again and immediately spoke out of pretended curiosity.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Hu Zongtou was afraid that she might change her mind and think their young master was a better choice, so he said grimly, "I advise you not to mess with the wrong people. If you want to be rich, you have to live to enjoy it."
The square-faced Yang Laoqi also suppressed her and said: "You can't climb up. The young master likes those who are not grown up."
Hu Zongtou wanted to intimidate her, with a fierce look on his face: "Do you know how many dead bodies are taken out of the young master's bed every day?"
Yu Huan was shocked.
The girl in the corner, who had just calmed down, began to tremble again.
What they said must be true.
Their daily routine was to find young children for Young Master Chen, steal them and keep them captive for his amusement. If any escaped, they would be beaten like little girls...
Yu Huan had been dragging his feet long enough, and Hu Zongtou lost his patience. He untied his belt while saying, "Why bother talking to you all this time? You can't get away anyway."
Just at this moment, footsteps were heard outside.
What’s going on today? There are so many officers and soldiers on patrol.
Yang Laoqi always had a feeling of unease, but when he thought about how their superior, Young Master Chen, had protected them and done so many evil things, and they were still fine now, he felt relieved and took two steps forward with a wicked smile.
At this moment, the gate of the courtyard was suddenly kicked open and a large number of people rushed in.
Yang Laoqi cursed angrily and was about to go out to see who was so ungrateful when the door behind him was kicked open.
In just a blink of an eye, both of them were thrown to the ground and pinned down by two people.
"Princess!"
"Princess, we are late!"
"Sister, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"
The room suddenly became a mess.
Princess? The young man who had to accompany them was thoughtful.
Yang Laoqi had been arrested by officials before, but with Young Master Chen as his guarantor, he was always politely released. These people are so bold that they didn't even bother to inquire about his identity...
As he was struggling in anger, he suddenly saw the sword of the officer who was restraining him.
Different from the ordinary swords in the yamen, the blade of this sword is sharper and the handle is wrapped with Qilin patterns... What kind of sword worn by an official can have Qilin patterns engraved on it?
Yang Laoqi was suddenly shocked. Royal, royal...
Hu Zongtou was not as smart as him. When he saw someone calling Yu Huan "sister", he thought that the paranoid cousin had come to kidnap her and said indignantly:
"How shameless of you, a grown man? There are so many beauties in the world, but you insist on forcing your weak and helpless cousin. What kind of ability do you have..."
The weak and helpless Yu Huan looked over coldly, raised his chin to the man who was suppressing him, and ordered: "Beat him."
The guards immediately attacked, punching him in the flesh without mercy.
Yu Huan had already acted enough. If she wasn't afraid that they would hurt herself, she wouldn't be willing to make up stories.
She was so angry after suffering so much injustice for no reason that she ordered people to destroy the yard. She also pulled the little girl in the corner over and asked her if there was anyone else here.
The little girl took her hand and led her to another door. The guards came up and broke the lock. Dozens of skinny little children looked at them in panic.
Even the guards with strong personalities couldn't help but tremble when they saw such a scene.
"It's okay." Yu Huan touched the little girl's head and said to the guard, "Wait a minute, send them home one by one."
The two servants who were guarding the door saw them coming so aggressively and ran out through the back door. Yu Huan saw them but did not stop them, because she was waiting for the fish behind.
