She traveled through the book to become the prince's concubine? She chose to be the villain!

Shitou ran home and when he entered the yard he saw his parents tied up and trampled underfoot.

My younger sister Xinghua was also tied up and was about to be taken away.

If the fellow villagers hadn’t stopped her with hoes, my sister would have already been at the Wei family.

Shitou rushed over to save people, but there were many people on the other side, and they were holding long knives in their hands, so no one dared to get close.

The stone was kicked back by the other party and fell to the ground.

"Don't be so shameless! It's better for this girl to be taken back as a maid than to starve to death with you!"

The man who was speaking was in his early forties, dressed in fine cloth, with a moustache, and looked like a typical manager.

The manager had a mocking smile on his face, and the guards around him were holding knives, as if they had calculated that the villagers would not dare to resist.

Liu Rumei was just here to eat some melons, but she didn't expect to see such a classic performance of bullying men and women and raping women.

She was very curious about whose dog this was, as it was so arrogant even under the emperor's feet.

As soon as she stretched out her hand, Xia Zhu obediently took out a small bag of melon seeds from her backpack.

This crossbody bag was designed by the girl. She is responsible for carrying it, and it is filled with food.

Liu Rumei handed one to Doctor Sun and Tang Mingchen, and the three of them stood side by side.

Tang Mingchen: …She didn’t wash her hands! She didn’t wash her hands! She didn’t wash her hands!

Doctor Sun tasted it and his eyes lit up slightly.

“This tastes good.”

"This is five-spice flavored. If you like it, Mr. Sun, I'll send you a few pounds later."

"Hey, I'm not welcome then."

"Why are you being so polite? We are all family."

The two of them chuckled, as if they were really family.

Tang Mingchen looked at the melon seeds, but didn't eat them in the end. Instead, he stared at the manager.

There was no expression on his face, but his eyes were full of coldness.

He is so brave even under the feet of the emperor.

"Manager Wei, my sister won't sell!"

Shitou's eyes were full of anger, and Manager Wei's face was full of mockery.

"Don't want to sell? Then pay me back! At the beginning of the year, your family borrowed money from the Wei family, and the total amount including principal and interest was ten taels.

If you can come up with the money, I won't take this girl away. If you can't come up with it, then don't talk nonsense!"

Hearing this, Shi Tou was shocked.

Ten taels? It's clearly three taels!

The richest family here is the Wei family. They are rich and have hundreds of acres of land.

But the Wei family was also a den of tigers and wolves. Some families in the village who could not make ends meet sold their children to their family as maids.

But within a few years, those girls disappeared.

Because of this, the people in the village would not have anything to do with the Wei family unless it was a life-and-death situation.

At the beginning of the year, his mother fell ill, and the family's money was all gone, but it was still not enough, so he had to borrow three taels of silver from the Wei family.

Shi Tou never imagined that three taels of silver would become ten taels in just three months!

"You're talking nonsense! When we borrowed the money, we agreed that if you return it within a year, the interest will only be two taels!"

When Shitou shouted this, Manager Wei took out a piece of paper.

"Shi Tou, don't try to cheat! I have written it clearly here, and your parents have signed it!

Either give me ten taels of silver, or I'll take your sister away. If you dare to make trouble again, I'll put you all in jail!"

The villagers were frightened by Manager Wei's intimidation and retreated one after another.

The people do not fight against the officials. They have been honest all their lives, and when they heard that they were going to be locked up, they were all scared.

Although everyone knows that this is the Wei family's plan, who will help them?

The reason why Mr. Wei dares to be so unscrupulous is not because his cousin is the local county magistrate?

In this case, who would dare to go against him?

Everyone looked at the crying apricot blossom and felt so sad that they all moved away and didn't want to look at her tears.

Shitou's sister Xinghua also realized that if she didn't follow them, the whole family would have no way to survive.

So Xinghua said tremblingly: "Brother, let me go with them. I am willing to go with them. I can have enough food to eat at the Wei family!"

Hearing this, Shitou shook his head desperately, then took out five taels of silver from his arms.

"I'll give you five taels first! I'll find a way to take care of the rest. Please!"

Liu Rumei felt a little sad when she saw this. If she had known earlier, she would have given him ten taels.

But even if this money is given, will the Wei family be willing?

She didn't think it was that simple.

Sure enough, the person in charge ignored it.

"Either give me ten taels of silver now, or take your people away!"

As he shouted this, Liu Rumei glanced at Zhenzhu.

Zhenzhu understood, so she stepped forward and handed Shitou five taels of silver.

"Take it. My girl gave it to me."

Hearing this, Shitou wanted to kneel down to Liu Rumei, but was stopped by Zhenzhu.

"You should save your sister first."

When Shitou thought about it and realized this, he quickly handed the silver to Manager Wei.

"Here are ten taels of silver, let my sister go!"

Hearing this, Manager Wei was staring at Zhenzhu.

Where did this girl come from? She actually looks prettier than the apricot blossoms.

Their young master has already instructed that the maid this time must be pretty.

He searched the village for a long time before he discovered that the apricot blossoms were growing well.

But unexpectedly, a roadblock arose today.

In that case, don't blame him for being ruthless.

"Haha, it was ten taels just now, now it's twenty taels!"

Shi Tou was stunned. What does this mean?

"You, you are going to kill us!"

"That's right, your sister has to follow me to the Wei family today, otherwise your whole family will have to go with you!"

Previously, the manager of the Wei family had hidden his thoughts, but now he has no intention of hiding them and is directly snatching people away.

He was not afraid of these peasants at all. His ancestors had all lived in this village, and no one knew better than him how capable these villagers were.

Seeing how arrogant he was, Liu Rumei couldn't help but laugh.

"Your Highness, did you see that? This guy is really a local tyrant."

When Liu Rumei said this, Tang Mingchen's face darkened.

Naturally, there are corrupt officials in the court who are unwilling to live up to their expectations, and they will resort to tricks for the sake of their family and factions.

But Tang Mingchen never expected that in such a small village, there would be someone who dared to be so domineering!

"Your Majesty, my subordinate is back."

An San approached quietly and told Tang Mingchen the news he had obtained.

Shitou had previously said that everyone here belonged to the Wei family, so he went to inquire about it and discovered the problem.

An San whispered something beside King Xian, and King Xian frowned fiercely.

"Very good, the Wei family is really brave."

Prince Xian was so angry that Liu Rumei guessed that the Wei family must have done something extremely bold.

"What did the Wei family do?"

Liu Rumei asked curiously, and Prince Xian looked helpless.

What does that expression of yours, as you watch the fun, mean? Do you really like watching the fun?

If this girl knew that the Wei family was blocking her way, would she get mad?

"Of your five thousand acres of wasteland, the Wei family has already reclaimed two thousand acres."
