Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

Of course Ting He heard this, but she did not wait for Lin Laoer's rebuttal. It seemed that this test was unsuccessful. The original owner's father was an irresponsible coward. Forget it, she didn't count on him anyway.

Ting He felt like she was stuffed into a sack and was being carried on the shoulders. Based on her understanding of the Liu family, the only one who had such strength was probably the eldest son of the Liu family, Liu's eldest brother. It seemed that all of the Liu family was involved. But, what the hell was that Bai Yuanwai? Would he really spend a hundred taels of silver to buy a peasant girl as a concubine? I'm afraid he has some special hobbies. Oh, forget it, let's play along and deal with Bai Yuanwai when we get there.

Ting He was tossed about in the sack for an unknown amount of time before it finally stopped. She was thrown roughly to the ground, and a rough voice said, "Wake her up first, so that Mr. Bai won't blame her later." Then someone poured a basin of water on her face, and Ting He woke up in due time.

She slowly opened her eyes and found herself in a shabby room, surrounded by several burly men. One of them came up to her, stared at her fiercely and said, "Little girl, don't blame us, we are also paid to do this. If you know what's good for you, just follow us, otherwise you will be in trouble."

Ting He's heart sank. It seemed that the Liu family was not simple. They even had other accomplices. However, she would not compromise easily. She calmed down and pretended to be terrified and asked, "Where are you taking me? Who is Mr. Bai?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" the man interrupted her impatiently, "Just follow us, and you'll know when you get there."

Ting He was secretly thinking in her heart that she could only act according to circumstances. She took a deep breath and nodded to show that she was willing to cooperate.

The burly men led Tinghe out of the room and came to a carriage. In the carriage sat a fat middle-aged man, who had a glimmer of greed in his eyes when he saw Tinghe.

"Hahaha, yes, she is indeed a beauty." Mr. Bai laughed with satisfaction, "Take her to the car and go back home!"

Ting He was forcibly pushed onto the carriage, which was bumping along the way towards an unknown direction. She prayed secretly, hoping that she would find an opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop.

Not long after, the carriage stopped, and Tinghe was released from the sack and taken to a luxurious mansion. She followed the burly men through the courtyard and came to a spacious hall. Mr. Bai was sitting on the armchair, looking at her with a smile on his face.

"My little beauty, you will live here from now on. As long as you are obedient, I will not treat you unfairly." Mr. Bai said with a lecherous look.

Ting He lowered her head in pretended obedience and asked, "Mr. Bai, I am not even 15 years old yet, why did you spend so much money to buy me?"

Mr. Bai chuckled, "Because you are beautiful. I like to collect beautiful women. I bought you at a high price, so I will definitely treat you well."

Ting He felt sick in her heart, but she still kept a smile on the surface and asked, "Then what does Mr. Bai plan to do with me?"

"Just be my concubine." Mr. Bai said as he stood up and walked closer to Tinghe, wanting to reach out and touch her face.

Ting He cleverly avoided his hand and said, "Mr. Bai, do you know that you are a prostitute? According to the laws of the Duan Dynasty, you will be beheaded for just trafficking a decent woman?"

Mr. Bai paused for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Hahahahahaha, Master Bai has been in Rongcheng for so many years and no one has ever said such treasonous words to me. As expected, she is a little girl from the Lin family. She is the same kind of person as that undisciplined Aunt Lin. All right, stop talking nonsense. Go and have a rest first. If you need anything, just tell the servants. Tomorrow, Master will arrange for you to serve him personally."

After saying that, he asked someone to take Tinghe to her residence. Tinghe breathed a sigh of relief, as she was temporarily free from Mr. Bai's entanglement. Next, she could have a good time and find out the relationship between the Liu family and Mr. Bai.

On the way to the residence, Ting He carefully observed the layout and personnel of the mansion, and secretly made a plan in his mind.

Late at night, she put on an invisibility talisman and wandered around the mansion. First, she took away all the valuables according to the layout and put them in the space. Then she found the women hidden in the mansion as she was familiar with the place. After she found all the women were hidden, she secretly let them go. She stuffed some silver and money into their pockets and let them go. Only a few were unwilling to leave. Ting He had no choice but to knock them out and throw them to the ground.

Then he went to Mr. Bai's outer room, knocked the woman on the bed unconscious and threw her out, then he used the truth talisman to ask:

"Why did you spend a hundred taels to buy someone as your concubine? What's your hidden illness? How did the Liu family get in touch with you? How did you buy someone from the Liu family? How many women have you bought over the years? Tell me everything, or I'll kill you for justice."

Under the influence of the truth talisman, Mr. Bai naturally confessed everything. He said:

"This master loves beauty but is easily bored with the old and loves to collect beautiful women. This master has plenty of money in Rongcheng. If I can get a beautiful woman with money, I will just spend money on it. If I can't get a beautiful woman, I will ask people from all over the country to collect it for me. That old woman Liu was the one who collected beautiful women for me in exchange for 100 taels of silver more than 20 years ago. It's a pity that although the woman sent to me was beautiful, she had a very tough temper. This master tried everything but couldn't get her favor. He tortured her for more than ten years and she has become crazy in recent years. But the things that can't be obtained are the most precious to this master. This master has been thinking about them for more than 20 years."

He continued:

"This master has changed many women over the years, but none of them are as pleasing to this master as Lin sent by Granny Liu. However, she is old enough to be a grandmother, and she still refuses to let this master cherish her. This master has spoiled her for twenty years, which is enough. So this master wants to continue to search for beauties, so he contacted Granny Liu, and then he learned that the Lin family has a beautiful little beauty. When this master heard that this is another beauty, he directly gave her 100 taels of silver and asked her to send her to me..."

"As for that crazy old Lin, I will let her live and see how long she can last. I heard that the pretty girl sent by the Liu family was also from the Lin family, so I was so happy that I spent another 100 taels of silver to buy her. As for the Liu family, they are a group of poor people who are greedy for money. If I give them a little benefit, they will be very happy. Over the years, they have sent many beautiful women to me, all of whom were kidnapped from nearby villages."
