Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

"Brother Prince!"

Xu Jinyu tried to speak to Zi Shuyan in a coquettish manner.

The next moment, Xu Jinyu himself felt disgusted.

[Yue, why are you so disgusting! ]

[When people call themselves "Little Green Tea" like this, they are lovable. I am also impressed that I can make myself feel disgusted. ]

Zi Shuyan shuddered when he heard Xu Jinyu's sudden and tender voice calling him.

Why didn't he realize before that it was so awkward to be called "Brother Prince"?

Miss Xu really fought hard for the gold mine.

"Ahem... I have an aunt who loves me very much. Everyone in her village has disappeared. It's near Liuyugou in the southeast of Zhengyang County."

“Can you help me check it?”

[This is obvious enough, right? If they can't find any problems, it means the guards in the Prince's Mansion are too weak. ]

[My aunt still loves me. That damn old lady always calls me a worthless person every time she sees me. But just because she is a bit mean doesn’t mean she deserves to die.]

A smile appeared on Zi Shuyan's lips. This Miss Xu was really kind. She couldn't bear to see an old lady who spoke ill of her die.

Yes, those abducted villagers had only one fate, and that was death.

Either he would die of exhaustion in the mine, or he would be dealt with by Bai Wenyu.

"No problem, it's just a small matter. Miss Xu saved my life, so my life is still valuable."

At the same time, he glanced at the guards, and immediately several guards came out of the hall.

Miss Xu explained clearly what happened and where it happened. If the guards of the Prince's Mansion can't find out the truth, they would be useless.

Gaomiao Village,

Gaomiao Village is particularly lively today, especially the Xu family at the entrance of the village. Someone brought news early in the morning.

The most promising scholar in the Xu family was thrown into prison, and along with the news came the death of his wife, Liu.

The Xu family was in a panic as they tried to raise money to bribe the county government and rescue their scholar.

The onlookers surrounded the courtyard wall. In the past, the fierce Mu family would have jumped up and started cursing.

But the Mu family can't take care of these now.

The whole family gathered around the table, with all the family's possessions in the center of the table.

All the scattered things add up to about twenty taels.

Old Master Xu sat on the chair with a worried look on his face. The twenty taels of silver would not be enough to bribe those yamen runners.

It was simply a dream to save my son.

The person who delivered the message did not explain clearly what his son had done wrong.

Old lady Mu took a quick look around and found that the second son was an honest man. He handed in every penny he had and never kept any money on him overnight.

Finally, Mu turned her attention to the youngest daughter-in-law: "Third daughter-in-law, take out your dowry."

The third son’s wife, Zhao, was about to curse with her eyes bulging, but she held herself back, pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and touched her belly.

"Mother-in-law, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, but my child is about to be born. I have no objection if you use all the money in the family to save my eldest brother."

"But I need to save some money for the midwife and confinement. It doesn't make sense for me to go back to my mother's house for confinement. My mother won't let me in."

"But your elder brother..."

"Mom, this is my first child. You can't let our whole family die just for my eldest brother." Xu Yinzhang, the third son of the Xu family, added.

Mr. Xu knocked on the table and asked his eldest grandson, Xu Yinwen's son, "Chengwen, don't you have any money?"

Xu Yinwen shook his head and said, "No, Grandpa, you also know that pens, ink, paper and inkstone are too expensive."

In fact, Xu Chengwen still had some money, but not much, so he simply said that he had none.

Old Master Xu frowned even more tightly. The family really couldn't afford the money, and the land couldn't be sold. If the land was sold, the whole family would become tenants.

Mu's heart felt like it was being fried in oil, burning her to the point that no part of her body felt comfortable.

Xu Wenyin is her most promising child and her only hope for becoming an old lady. Nothing can happen to Xu Wenyin.

At this time, Mu looked at her second granddaughter Xu Pandi, who was already thirteen years old. The girl had just grown up, with a slim figure, willow-shaped eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes.

Apart from her slightly rough skin, she is a beauty.

"Second son's wife, sell Pan Di!"

Xu Pan suddenly raised her head and looked at her grandmother in disbelief. She knew that her grandmother would dislike her because she was a girl.

But unexpectedly, the grandmother's first step to raise money was to sell her.

"Pandi, listen. Someone came to propose marriage a few days ago. He said it was the son of Mr. Zhang from the neighboring village. The betrothal gift was 30 taels of silver."

Xu Pandi's tears suddenly fell.

How could a master of the National People's Congress be willing to marry a peasant girl who couldn't read a single word? The reason he was willing to pay such a high price was because Master Zhang's son became stupid due to a high fever when he was a child.

He also particularly liked beating people. I heard that several servants had been beaten to death.

Country girls are worthless, and no one will care as long as you give enough compensation.

Xu Pandi has worked like a slave for all these years, just hoping that when she gets married, her grandmother will allow her a less embarrassing marriage in consideration of her hard work over the years.

Xu Pandi just looked at her grandmother, her lips trembling as if she wanted to say no.

But her experiences since childhood told her that whether she refused or not, the result would be the same.

Her eyes were filled with despair.

"Plop!"

Xu Pandi's mother knelt on the ground and began to kowtow.

She kowtowed and said with tears in her eyes: "Mother-in-law, please sell me! Sell me! If it really doesn't work, sell my husband too."

"We already have Zhaodi gone. If I lose Pandi, I won't be able to live. I won't be able to live~~"

The hoarse and shrill voice was extremely desperate.

Xu Yincheng also knelt on the ground and kowtowed to his mother without saying a word.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

One hit was heavier than the other, and soon a big purple bump appeared on Xu Yincheng's forehead.

The youngest girl, Lai Di, saw her parents kneeling, so she knelt down without knowing what was going on and kowtowed along with them.

The heavy kowtows and hoarse voices could be heard outside.

The villagers who were still chattering and watching the fun suddenly became quiet.

The next moment, there was a loud discussion, and some powerful people were already shouting and cursing outside.

"How can you be so immoral? You still have so much land at home, why would you sell your granddaughter?"

"If they have to sell someone, they should sell the eldest daughter. Why sell Lai Di? Hasn't Lai Di done a good job over the years?"

"If you want to save the scholar, you should sell his daughter."

"I went to deliver the news to Qian's family. I just couldn't believe that the Qian family would watch the Xu family sell their granddaughter."

…………

In the room, Mrs. Mu was already filled with rage because her son was in trouble, but she had to save her eldest son, which required the whole family's efforts, and she couldn't vent her anger.

This time, the discussions of the villagers outside gave her a place to vent her anger.

Mu jumped three feet high, ran to the yard, put her hands on her hips and said, "You are a bunch of bastards. What my family does is none of your business."

"Mali *****, you f******."

In the yard, Mu picked up all the women in the village by herself and scolded them until she was out of breath.
