Chapter 927 Selling Her
Chapter 927 Selling Her
The Second Young Master Cui did not waste any time and immediately found a carriage to take them to Qingfeng Pavilion.
After entering the museum, he went to look for the owner first.
He pointed at Lin Yiwan and the other two and said, "Give me an estimate. Based on their looks, how much are they worth?"
The owner looked at him in confusion. "Second Master Cui, what do you mean? Are you planning to sell people to our museum? Do they agree?"
Cui Lingshao couldn't help but sneer: "You don't care whether they agree or not, as long as I agree or not, it's fine. Don't think I don't know that you have extraordinary methods in this hall that can make them obedient and submissive!"
After hearing this, the owner laughed: "Oh, Second Master Cui, you are really bad!"
Cui Lingshao urged, "I've made the decision. Based on the appearance of those three people, you give me a total of 5,000 taels of silver notes. They will definitely make a profit!"
The owner was shocked and said, "Second Master Cui, you are asking for too much. They are really not worth the money. Besides, who knows if they are easy to train? What if they run away as soon as you leave? Wouldn't I be so disappointed?"
Cui Lingshao raised the corner of his lips in a sinister manner: "Who are you trying to fool? Everyone knows the power of your Meng Daguan. Once someone falls under your control, no one will disobey you. Otherwise, how can your Qingfengguan be so prosperous?"
Meng Qingfeng laughed suddenly: "You, I really can't do anything about you. Did you lose the bet again? So you do this shady business? What are the origins of these three people? Don't let me get involved, it will be troublesome!"
Cui Lingshao didn't hide anything. He nodded and said, "That's right, don't worry. These three people are from outside the area. As long as you hide them carefully, there's no chance of getting into trouble!"
Meng Qingfeng nodded readily: "That's fine, but five thousand taels is indeed a bit too much. Three thousand taels, one thousand taels each. If it's more, you can only take them away!"
Cui Lingshao immediately stretched out his hand: "Take the money!"
When he put the three thousand taels of silver in his sleeve, he was so proud.
He was too lazy to go back to Lin Yiwan and simply escaped through the back door.
However, just as he reached the entrance of the alley, three people suddenly came towards him, and he was immediately frightened out of his wits: "You, why are you guys coming out too?"
Lin Yiwan narrowed her eyes and smiled, "I waited and waited, but the Second Young Master didn't come back. Instead, Master Meng came in with three bowls of medicine, saying he was going to feed us. Only then did I realize that the Second Young Master was selling us out."
Cui Lingshao felt guilty and turned around to run away.
But Zi'er moved extremely quickly and kicked him hard to the ground.
He collapsed and shouted, "No, don't kill me, I'm the brother-in-law of Marquis Zhan Yi. If you treat me like this, he won't let you go!"
Lin Yiwan immediately acted frightened: "Oh, I'm so scared of my husband!"
Zi'er followed suit: "I'm afraid of the Marquis too!"
Lin Xiaoruan also said: "I am also afraid of my brother-in-law!"
Cui Lingshao was stunned. The three people in front of him were actually the wife of Marquis Zhan Yi and her sister Lin Xiaoruan?
A guilty look flashed across his face, and he stammered, "So it's my sister and Xiaoruan. Why are you dressed as men?"
Lin Xiaoruan raised her hand and slapped him hard on the face: "Shut up, who the hell do you think you are? How dare you call us like that?"
Cui Lingshao's lips and teeth were bleeding from the beating. He said with a ferocious look in his eyes, "You bitch, you dare to hit me? When you enter the Cui family, I will make you kneel down and serve me!"
Lin Xiaoruan was shocked and angry, and kicked him hard in the waist again.
The kick caught him off guard, steady, accurate and fierce. He immediately fell to the ground in pain and rolled back and forth.
He hissed and yelled, "I won't let you go for hitting me like this!"
Lin Yiwan said coldly, "Zi'er, shut his mouth and take him to the dilapidated temple outside Beijing!"
Cui Lingshao was hung on the beam of the house, and only then did he feel scared.
He pleaded in a trembling voice, "Madam Hou, please let me go. I will never dare to disrespect you again. I know I was wrong. Please let me down!"
Lin Yiwan turned a deaf ear and let Zi'er put the sharp sword on his neck.
Cui Lingshao was so frightened that he wet his pants on the spot.
Zi'er blocked her nose in disgust: "It's really disgusting. How dare you be so cowardly and still think about the Zhan Yihou Mansion? You don't know whether to live or die!"
Lin Yiwan then spoke slowly, "Tell me, where did your mother get the sachet in her hand? Xiaoruan never gave it to you!"
Cui Lingshao replied uneasily, "One time, when Miss Xiaoruan went to the Buddhist temple to worship Buddha, I bribed a little beggar to secretly follow her. When she was not paying attention, I stole the sachet hanging around her waist!"
Lin Xiaoruan scolded him angrily: "You are so despicable!"
Cui Lingshao subconsciously argued, "This wasn't my idea. I know my own limitations, but my sister-in-law insisted I find a way to marry you. Your sister is the mistress of the Zhan Yi Marquis's residence. She'll definitely prepare a generous dowry for you. Plus, you're favored by the eldest princess, so you'll bring me a comfortable life!"
Lin Yiwan frowned, "Your sister-in-law? Qin Jinjin?"
Cui Lingshao nodded hurriedly: "Yes, it was her. It was all her idea, including stealing the sachet of Miss Xiaoruan and urging my mother to go to the Marquis' Mansion to propose marriage!"
Lin Yiwan raised the corner of her lips in a mocking tone, "Qin Jinjin is so stupid and vicious that she's already causing trouble before even marrying into the Cui family!"
Cui Lingshao cried and begged: "Please let me go, none of this has anything to do with me, I am innocent!"
Lin Yiwan said, "You're not innocent at all. You've already spread the news that you're going to become Marquis Zhan Yi's brother-in-law. You've ruined Xiaoruan's reputation. What do you want her to do?"
Cui Lingshao blinked: "Then, marry me?"
Lin Yiwan suddenly said coldly: "You wishful thinking, a gambler like you is worthy of marrying my sister?"
Cui Lingshao said in panic, "Madam Hou, tell me, what can I do to clear your sister's name? I'll do whatever you say, just don't kill me!"
Lin Yiwan stared at him with scorching eyes: "Go to the authorities and turn yourself in. Say that you deliberately stole Xiaoruan's sachet and slandered her. Otherwise, you will die!"
He subconsciously shook his head: "No, my mother won't let me go, and even my sister-in-law won't let me go!"
Lin Yiwan reached out and pinched his chin and said, "Okay, so you're afraid of them but not me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zi'er took the sword and cut several wounds on his body.
"Ah!" Cui Lingshao screamed in pain.
He hurriedly said, "I'll go. Isn't it okay for me to go?"
Lin Yiwan ordered Zi'er to stop, stuffed him into a carriage, and took him back to the government office in the capital.
Cui Lingshao stumbled out of the carriage, fell to his knees in front of the door, and shouted, "I am guilty! I ordered someone to steal the sachet of Miss Lin Xiaoruan from the Marquis Zhan Yi's mansion, and tried to accuse her of having an affair with me. I am despicable, I deserve to die, please punish me!"
