The whole thing happened so quickly and urgently that no one except Shi Chunfen and Li Yan could react. By the time they reacted, Hongxing had already been dragged out and Lutao was paralyzed on the ground.
His eyes were filled with fear.
Isn't Hongxing her best friend?
Why didn't she even have the courage to stand up and save her?
When Shi Chunfen returned to the room, she couldn't help but shed tears. She couldn't bear to treat Hongxing like this after being together for such a long time, but she also knew very clearly that if she didn't take advantage of this incident to establish her authority, she would
Countless things like this will happen in the yard in the future.
This time Yu Usagi reminded her, but next time, who can she count on to protect her?
Hongxing was one of the few people she could trust in this yard. Even if she treated her like this, Shi Chunfen couldn't imagine what kind of fear she would live in in the future if she spared Hongxing. She had to
Killing her will serve as a warning to others so that when others in the yard want to betray her in the future, they will consider whether they can bear the consequences of life being worse than death.
"Grandma." Li Yan walked in at some point, stood behind her and reported respectfully: "She is already on her way to Granny Ya."
"Yeah." Shi Chunfen wiped away her tears in a panic, turned around and looked at Li Yan, and asked curiously: "Will she be sold to a prostitute?"
Li Yan was silent and said bluntly: "It would be better for grandma not to know."
Shi Chunquin looked at her in confusion, a bad premonition arose in her heart, "Is it worse than a prostitute?"
Seeing that she insisted on asking, Li Yan sighed and said frankly: "That old lady has been working with the Chu family for many years. She is responsible for selling people to Hualiu Village."
"Hualiu Village?" The spring equinox is like being struck by lightning.
Although she didn't know much about it, she had heard of this place. It was a village set up by the government to fear that the disease would spread everywhere. It was full of sick people. How could someone sell normal women into that place?
"Yes." Li Yan explained: "Many of those suffering from Hualiu disease are playboys from wealthy families. Even if they are locked up, they still need clean and beautiful women to serve them, so they do this kind of thing."
Just like a wealthy scholar family buying a slave, it is essentially buying a person's life. However, the future fate of the person who is sold to Hualiu Village can be seen at a glance.
At the Spring Equinox, my whole scalp was numb and I was speechless for a long time.
This turned out to be the old lady who was used to cooperating with the Chu family. How many girls had been sold there in the past few years?
Seeing that she didn't seem to understand the rules of the Chu family, Li Yan said bluntly: "There are nearly a thousand maids and servants in the Chu family. It is too easy for outsiders to bribe a few of them. In order to prevent them from betraying the master, I have
Our ancestors had no choice but to set such a rule. Not only the maids who betrayed their masters were sold there, but the servants who betrayed their masters were also sent to be slaves."
"So..." Shi Chunquin smiled bitterly, "Should I praise this rule as fair?"
Li Yan lowered her head and said nothing.
Shi Chunxin felt extremely uncomfortable, and she pushed Hongxing into the abyss with her own hands. Several times she almost couldn't help but ask Li Yan to stop Mrs. Ya and secretly let Hongxing go, but when she thought about whether the paper could wrap it up,
Don't worry, if the news about Hongxing's release spreads, she will never want to be a qualified young lady in her life. She just shut her mouth, and she suddenly realized that she was far more selfish than she thought.
"Over Jiang Ya...has Lutao gone?" Shi Chunfen tried his best to change the subject, but his voice couldn't stop trembling.
Li Yan raised her head and glanced at her, and said frankly: "We have already gone. I think she must have seen your determination."
What determination?
Cold-blooded determination?
Shichun was distracted by being amused, but she had to order herself to calm down. Hongxing was responsible for herself, and she shouldn't think about it anymore. The top priority right now was how to prevent Yu Atu from doing stupid things. Since she could choose to defend her, it meant that she still had to do it.
It's not that there is no cure, she can't just watch her go to a road of no return.
"Li Yan, you immediately send someone to the tea house to invite my aunt over." Shi Chunfen said decisively.
If she can't persuade people, she can only let her aunt persuade them herself.
Li Yan nodded slightly and quickly retreated.
At the same time, Yu Atu had arrived at the yard of the second room. She did not choose to go to Chu Shun directly, but planned to explain to Chu Quan first and then go to Chu Shun to negotiate.
Rather than saying it was an explanation, it was better to say that she wanted to discuss it with Chu Quan again to see if there was any other way to go. Directly threatening Chu Shun was the stupidest way in her opinion. She didn't want to do this, but now she
Have to do this.
"Shi Chunfen really said that he would drive you out of the Chu family?" Chu Quan looked surprised.
He thought this was the excuse Yu Atu had made before, but he didn't expect that Shi Chun Equinox could really kill off relatives in a righteous way. If there was anything wrong with his cousin becoming the fourth mistress of the Chu family, only a person with a bad brain would desperately try to stop it.
"Now that we've come to this point, do I still need to lie to you?" Yu Atu said with a bitter smile.
She really knew Shi Chunfen quite well. Others must have thought that Shi Chunfen's refusal to let her become the fourth young mistress of the Chu family was out of some selfish motives, but she was the only one who knew in her heart that the other party was really doing it for her own good, but
The way she treats her well is not what she needs.
Seeing her dejected look, Chu Quan raised his eyebrows slightly, "You seem to care a lot about what Shi Chun Equinox thinks of you?"
Yu Atu glanced at him and said coldly: "I'm not like you who doesn't recognize your relatives."
The smile on Chu Quan's face changed, and he raised his hand and slapped her, "Have you forgotten who is your master?"
The word "master" came again, and Yu Atu was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
She is not a slave of the Chu family, so why do these people treat her like a slave?
Since she could only become a master by marrying Chu Run, she wanted to try being a master because she didn't believe she couldn't change her fate.
"If you want me to help you with things, you have to actually help me sit in the seat of the fourth young mistress of the Chu family." Yu Atu covered her cheek and said coldly: "Your father is not someone who is easily threatened.
If you go to him rashly, you may not get the results you want."
Chu Quan narrowed his eyes, "What do you want?"
Yu Atu stuck out his tongue and licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, "If I threaten him, he may not agree, but if you, the son, threaten him, you can't help but let him not agree."
"You want to expose me so quickly?" Chu Quan said with wide eyes.
Yu Atu had a funny look on his face, "What do you have to expose? Aren't you always recognized as a rebellious child? Even if you don't come forward now, sooner or later he will know who gave me the antidote, and by then it won't be the case."
