Lord God, do you want a wife?

Jia Yifan waited quietly by the bed until the doctor's medicine was ready and brought to him. He personally supervised the maid to bring the medicine to Bai Nian's bed.

After Bai Nian took the medicine and fell asleep, Jia Yifan finally breathed a sigh of relief and left the room quietly.

What Jia Yifan didn't know was that after he left, Bai Nian quickly got up from the bed. Her face had returned to its usual rosy color, and there was no trace of sickness at all.

Jia Yifan walked out of the room, waved his hand to let the servants leave, and hurried out of the inn.

On the streets, vendors were hawking all kinds of goods, and crowds of people were coming and going.

Jia Yifan walked among the crowd, turned a few complicated turns, and entered a remote alley.

We walked to the door of a house and stopped. The house looked very ordinary, and the door was even a little shabby.

He looked around and knocked on the door.

A pair of vigilant eyes appeared through the crack of the door. After confirming that the person coming was Jia Yifan, he slowly opened the door and let Jia Yifan enter the yard.

The yard was quiet, with only a few flowers and plants swaying in the wind, making it look a little desolate.

It’s not like other people’s homes that raise chickens and ducks.

Jia Yifan didn't stay for long and went straight to the main house.

A man in gray clothes sat behind a shabby table, leaning back in a chair with his feet on the table, picking his teeth with a bamboo stick in his mouth.

Seeing Jia Yifan coming, he spit the bamboo stick aside with a spit. His beard moved with his facial expression, and he said lazily, "Hey~ Isn't this Mr. Jia who got the golden thigh? What? You stood me up for two days, why are you here again?"

Jia Yifan lifted his robe and sat down. When he heard Li Feng's sarcastic tone, the expression on his face stiffened.

Then he seemed to remember something, forced a smile on his face, and tried to make his expression look gentle.

"Master Li, I was delayed by some things before. Didn't I come to see you as soon as I had time?"

"Although the matter did not work out, I will not let you and your brother work for nothing. I will pay you every cent."

Li Feng stood up from his chair, walked in front of Jia Yifan, and looked at him sharply: "Okay!"

Then he laughed: "I like people like Mr. Jia who are straightforward. Since you are so sincere, let's talk openly."

Li Feng turned around, still smiling, and spoke in a low, somewhat creepy voice, "Mr. Jia, you are not here just to settle your hard work fee for the past two days, right?"

"That's right, Mr. Li, you also know that the Bai family is the richest family in Jiangdu. Now the daughter of the Bai family is here. If something happens to the people of the Bai family on the road, then..."

Li Feng frowned as he listened to Jia Yifan's words.

He really didn't expect Jia Yifan's ambition to be so big.

Before, Jia Yifan found them and ambushed them in the inn, and only told them to knock out the Bai family members, but this time he actually wanted to take the Bai family members' lives.

"No, the risk is too great. Why not put drugs in the inn like we did before?"

Li Feng shook his head. Although he loved money, he would not let his brothers die for it.

"Master Li, the Bai family is now staying at the inn. Lu'an County is small, and suddenly many strangers appear in the inn. It is easy to arouse suspicion. The guards of the Bai family are not vegetarians."

Seeing Li Feng's hesitation, Jia Yifan took out a silver note from his sleeve and handed it to him.

Li Feng took the banknote, glanced at the amount on it, smiled with satisfaction, and the hesitation on his face disappeared instantly. "No problem, since Master Jia has given the brothers hard work money, I will definitely arrange things clearly."

Jia Yifan felt a pang of pain in his heart. He had finally managed to swindle a large sum of money from Bai Nian, but now he had to hand over most of it.

He thought that as long as he got rid of those annoying servants and guards of the Bai family, wouldn't all those priceless jewels be his?

Thinking of this, Jia Yifan was relieved. He showed a satisfied smile and stood up. "That's settled, Mr. Li. I will come to inform you the day before departure. After the mission is accomplished, I will reward you handsomely."

Jia Yifan left Li Feng's residence with peace of mind.

Behind him, where he couldn't see, there was a greedy gleam in Li Feng's eyes.

Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. If this really happened, how could Li Feng be satisfied with the small gifts given by Jia Yifan?

At the same time, Bai Nian was in the room of the inn, listening quietly to the guard in front of him reporting what had just happened.

There was no panic on her face, instead she showed a calm smile.

How can there be an absolute cooperative relationship in the face of interests?

The so-called cooperation between these two people is nothing more than a temporary alliance driven by interests.

Once the balance of interests tilts, this fragile cooperative relationship will immediately break down.

Jia Yifan is just trying to get the skin of a tiger.

......

After a day's rest, just as the sky was getting light, footsteps were heard outside the guest room.

Bai Nian sat up from the bed sleepily. Shu'er heard rustling sounds in the room, so she knocked on the door and came in to help Bai Nian change clothes.

She buried her head and carefully straightened the wrinkles on Bai Nian's clothes, and put a jade pendant that was all emerald green around her waist. "Miss, my son-in-law is packing his luggage downstairs and preparing to go to Shinian Village."

Bai Nian nodded, her eyes gradually became clearer, and she had obviously woken up completely from her sleepiness.

"I asked someone to inquire yesterday, and this Stone Mill Village does not have a good reputation."

Shu'er's eyes were full of worry as she combed Bai Nian's black hair. "I heard that Shinian Village is the poorest village near Lu'an County. As long as the people in Shinian Village give birth to a daughter, they will raise her up and sell her for a dowry."

She paused, as if she couldn't say anything, and took a long breath. "Because they are too poor, the people in the village can't find wives. They pick up homeless beggars on the roadside as child brides, and some buy people from kidnappers."

Bai Nian's expression turned serious, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart. The situation in Shinian Village was worse than she had expected.

"Does the government not care?"

Shu'er sighed, "The guard brother came back yesterday and said that the government had sent a team of soldiers to ask them to release the kidnapped girl, but there were many people in the village and Lu'an County was too small, so the soldiers were far from enough. They were beaten back by the people of Lu'an County. Over time, the county magistrate no longer cared..."

Shu'er combed a bun for Bai Nian and put on a red hairpin and step-shaking ornaments.

Bai Nian stood up, walked to the window, stared at the scenery outside, and snorted coldly, "Shu'er, make your face pale. I want to see what my good husband bought with my money."

Shu'er responded and took the powder on the table and applied it.
