Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

in the room,

Xu Yincheng and Qian were still kowtowing in silence. Their heads were broken and red blood was flowing down their foreheads.

Xu Pandi sat on the ground and looked at her parents blankly. It was not that her parents didn't protect her, but that they were simply unable to do so.

As long as they face their grandparents, they can only retreat.

Just like her younger sister Zhaodi, she clearly saw that it was her aunt who brought her up the mountain, but her aunt insisted that she did not bring Zhaodi up the mountain.

Because of my uncle's status as a scholar, my grandparents agreed with my aunt's advice.

My sister just died like that, and my parents accepted the result without saying a word.

He got up the next morning and continued to work, not even allowing himself or his sister to wear a small white flower on their heads.

Because my grandparents think it's unlucky.

For the first time, Pan Di felt resentment towards her parents in her heart.

Why are you kneeling down? You will still be sold out in the end. Isn't the purpose of putting on such a show to make your conscience feel better?

"Hey! It's so lively, what are you doing?" a clear voice came.

There was a hint of cynicism in the voice.

Along with the sound came the sound of horse hooves.

The villagers who were arguing heatedly looked back and suddenly fell silent.

The person who spoke was a young man in brocade clothes, holding the reins with one hand, his eyes full of excitement.

There were several men in shorts following behind.

This young man has delicate skin, and the followers behind him are also energetic. In these years of famine, only wealthy people can have such energy and spirit.

The head of Gaomiao Village trembled as he walked out from the crowd.

"My dear, what are you doing here?"

The young man on the horse leaned sideways, looking bored.

"Nothing, I just want to come to the village to rest. It seems quite lively here, so I want to join in the fun."

Another raised his head and asked the head of the village: "Old man, what happened?"

"Hey!"

The head of the village sighed and said, "It's nothing. It's just that someone from the Xu family has been put in jail, and we need to raise money to save him."

"We are from the countryside, so we don't have a lot of money. That's why we are quarreling."

The village head did not say that the family would rather sell their granddaughter than sell their land.

Such ugly things should just stay in the village.

"Xu family?"

The young man in brocade clothes looked thoughtful.

"Yesterday, a woman named Xu in Zhengyang County inexplicably repeatedly bumped into the prince. On the way to the county government, her mother was killed and the woman surnamed Xu disappeared."

"According to the county police chief, the man who did it was very decisive and swift, so it's possible that he was trying to silence the witness. So the remaining man was also locked up in jail. Could it be this man?"

"What!"

The head of the village almost couldn't stand.

Offending the prince and silencing him, these are things that only a villager can get involved in.

The village head no longer cared about the young man in brocade clothes and rushed into the Xu family's yard with unsteady steps.

"Lao Xu, the messenger said your eldest daughter-in-law is dead and your son has been arrested. Did you tell me what happened to your eldest granddaughter?"

"By the way, where's Jingshu?"

Mu slapped her thigh and remembered that Jingshu went out with his parents yesterday.

The Xu family looked at each other in surprise. The person who brought the news was a man from the neighboring village. He did not say why their eldest son was arrested, and did not even mention Xu Jingshu.

The head of the village slapped his thigh and said, "Your Jingshu must have gotten into big trouble by offending the prince. She is crazy about climbing up the social ladder!"

The head of the village finally couldn't help but say something unpleasant.

This Xu Jingshu acts condescending all day long, looking down on this and that, belittling the young men in the village as worthless, and she only wants to climb up the social ladder.

I didn't expect that she would fall for Quan Daqian, the second most powerful person.

“Is she looking for death?”

I kept these words in my heart and never said them out loud.

The room was silent and no one dared to speak. Even Xu Pandi's parents stopped kowtowing and looked at the head of the village blankly.

Mu opened her mouth and wanted to say something but ultimately didn't say anything because she knew her granddaughter's ambitions.

The granddaughter doesn't even look down on wealthy businessmen, and she keeps mumbling about wanting to be a lady of honor.

She was even bold enough to say that she wanted to be the most powerful woman in the whole Daqian.

It is possible that it was his granddaughter who offended the prince.

Can Xu Wenyin be rescued?

No, we must save him!

We must save him even if it means losing everything!

Xu Wenyin was the only person in the family who was well educated, and the Xu family did not have the financial resources to support a second scholar.

Mu's sinister gaze once again fell on Xu Pandi.

Xu Pandi faced her grandmother's gloomy gaze, stood up and rushed out of the yard.

“Plop”

Kneeling before the young man in brocade clothes,

"Sir, are you buying someone? I have been working since I was a child. I can do anything and endure hardships. If you just buy me, I will do anything for you."

Xu Pandi's voice trembled, but she was firm.

"Little girl, are you selling yourself?"

The young man in brocade clothes, Cao Kuan, looked at Xu Zhaodi with interest.

He specially dressed himself up this morning and came to Gaomiao Village to recruit people. He originally wanted to play the role of a lustful young man, but no one recognized his current face anyway.

I didn't expect the Xu family to be so cooperative and sell themselves directly.

"Yes!"

Xu Pandi nodded vigorously and added,

"And my sister. Although she is small, she can do a lot of things."

"Pan...Di, Pan Di can't...can't..."

Qian rushed out of the house, shaking her head at Pan Di with tears in her eyes.

"Why don't I sell myself and wait for my grandmother to sell me to a fool?"

"And the third sister is pretty. If we want to sell her for a high price, where can we sell her?"

Xu Pandi looked at her mother with a smile.

Of course, the place where pretty girls are sold at the highest price is a brothel.

Qian lowered her head deeply when she saw her daughter's half-smile.

Qian had lived under beatings and scoldings from her mother-in-law for most of her life, so she really didn't dare to rebel against her mother-in-law.

But considering that the mother-in-law was already planning to sell Pan Di to a fool, it was not impossible that Lai Di would be sold to a brothel.

The woman who had been oppressed all her life had the idea of ​​resisting for the first time for the sake of her daughter.

"No, Lai Di can't go to the brothel!"

After a long time, Qian raised her head and looked at Pan Di and said seriously.

"Mom and you will sell our bodies together and work for others. No matter what, Pan Di cannot marry a fool, and Lai Di cannot go to a brothel."

"At least if you work for someone, you can get a monthly salary. As for being beaten and scolded, you will be beaten and scolded no matter where you work."

Qian also knelt down and looked up at the young man in brocade clothes.

Cao Kuan was a little bit amused and helpless. He was ready to show off his skills to Miss Xu.

I didn't expect the Xu family to cooperate so well.

Although they didn't know they were cooperating with Cao Kuan.

At this time Xu Yincheng also came out and knelt beside his wife without saying a word.

"Second brother! How dare you!"

Mu's voice was extremely cold.
