What to do if you have too many golden fingers? Walk sideways!

As soon as Mother Qin put away the indenture and paid the money, Gu Xi immediately said:

“Mother Qin, I bought these two people.”

Mother Qin shook her head: "This young man, there is no one like you. I just bought it and haven't trained it yet. How about you go to the building first and take a look?"

Gu Xi held out five fingers: "Fifty taels!"

Mother Qin hesitated: "This——"

Gu Xi took out the banknotes, patted them in his hands, and said:

"Eighty taels!"

She has plenty of money now, and she doesn't believe that Qin's mother will disagree.

Mother Qin was moved.

Gu Xi finally said:

"One hundred taels, this is my final price. If you don't sell it, I'll leave."

Li and Gu Chao were both dumbfounded.

"Oh, young master, we will sell it, we will sell it." Li's eyes lit up. That was one hundred taels. Just now, Mother Qin was reluctant to give twenty taels.

Looking at Li's appearance, Gu Xi felt that her goal had been achieved. She deliberately wanted to wait for Li and Qin's mother to finish the transaction before taking action.

Gu Xi nodded and said, "Okay, as long as you sell the person to me, the 100 taels will be yours."

When Li heard this, she reached out to grab the indenture from Qin Mama's hand, and said anxiously:

"I won't sell these two people anymore. I'll give you twenty taels!"

Mother Qin is the owner of a brothel. What kind of scenes has she not seen? How could she let a stranger take advantage of her? She sneered and said:

"We have already paid for the goods, and you still want to act wildly on my territory? Someone come here!"

Immediately, two strong men came forward and slapped Li in the face, causing half of her face to swell up immediately.

"Gu Chao, what are you standing there for? Go and get the indenture back!" Li shouted at Gu Chao.

Gu Chao looked at the two burly men glaring at him and trembled with fear. How could he dare to snatch the indenture contract?

Mother Qin kicked Li to the ground and asked two strong men to throw Li and Gu Chao out.

Then she walked up to Gu Xi with a smile on her face, and her big chest rubbed against Gu Xi's arm. Gu Xi felt a chill and got goose bumps.

"My handsome young man, I'll do the deal for one hundred taels. Come to Hua Man Lou often when you have time."

Mother Qin gently waved her handkerchief at Gu Xi, and the strong scent of perfume almost choked Gu Xi.

In just a short while, she made a net profit of eighty taels of silver, and Mother Qin was very happy.

After Gu Xi finished the transaction with Mother Qin, he hurriedly left with Aunt Lian and Gu Ying.

Aunt Lian thanked Gu Xi profusely. No matter why this young master bought them back, even if they were slaves or maids, it would be better than being sold to a brothel.

Gu Xi gestured to Qi and the others, and they went back to the inn separately.

There were a lot of people outside, so Gu Xi deliberately separated them.

On the way, Aunt Lian looked at Gu Xi's back, thinking about something, and always felt that he looked familiar.

Thinking that this young master spent a hundred taels to save her, she was even more surprised, so she couldn't help asking:

"Sir, do you know this servant?"

Gu Xi paused, turned around and asked in confusion: "What did you say?"

Was she recognized?

When Aunt Lian saw Gu Xi's eyes, this familiar feeling became even stronger.

"Sir, do you know General Gu Yunqing of the Gu family in Beijing?"

Huh? Could it be that my disguise has been discovered?

Gu Xi simply stood in front of Aunt Lian and let her have a good look.

Gu Ying, who had been holding Aunt Lian's hand tightly, suddenly said:

"Aunt, this young man looks a lot like Sister Xi."

Well, she was recognized.

Her disguise skills had always worked before because she was facing strangers. People who were familiar with her would still be able to recognize her.

If I have the chance in the future, I will upgrade my camouflage skills.

"Let's talk about it when we get back." Gu Xi did not answer Aunt Lian's question and took them straight back to the inn.

After entering the room, Aunt Lian was so excited when she saw Qi that she knelt down and kowtowed.

"Madam! It turns out to be you. Thank you for saving my life. If my daughter and I had really entered the brothel, we would have been dead."

"Get up, you are all miserable people." Qi helped Aunt Lian up.

The whole family sat around the table.

Now when Aunt Lian looked at Gu Xi again, she was finally sure.

"So you really are the eldest lady. You were dressed as a man, and I didn't recognize you."

Gu Xi changed back to his original voice and asked:

"Mrs. Lian, what's going on today? Why did Li sell you out?"

Aunt Lian wiped her tears and began to tell their story.

It turned out that after Gu Yunze and Li sold Qi and others, they got a sum of money and came to Huji Town, preparing to do some business and settle down here.

Who knew that Gu Yunze was not cut out for business? He didn't make back the money, but instead spent a lot of it.

Saying he wanted to invest in business, he treated some local bigwigs to food and drinks. As a result, he came home drunk every day, and his business was not going anywhere.

Today, Gu Yunze took away all the remaining silver in the house, and Li and her family didn't even have money to eat.

Since the exile began, most of Gu Yunze's dozen concubines had run away, leaving only Aunt Lian, Aunt Ju, and Gu Chao's biological mother Aunt Mei with him.

Aunt Mei was protected by Gu Chao, and the eldest daughter born to Aunt Ju married a minor official in the capital. They still counted on this daughter to take care of them, so they dared not touch them.

Li then set her sights on Aunt Lian.

Today, Li pretended to say that Aunt Lian was good at embroidery, so she went to the street to see if she could get some embroidery business, and also took Yingjie out to see the world.

He also brought Gu Chao along, saying that he was the eldest son and wasn't young anymore, so he came out to see if he could find some work.

The honest Aunt Lian didn't think too much and just followed him out.

But when they arrived at the door of Huamanlou, Li suddenly changed her attitude and wanted to sell them and her daughter.

She tried to escape with Ying Jie'er, but was caught by Gu Chao.

She was a weak woman and a girl of six or seven years old. How could she be a match for Gu Chao and was directly controlled by him.

Gu Xi also knew what happened next.

Everyone was very angry when they heard this. It was cruel enough that the eldest wife's family was sold to human traffickers before, but they didn't expect that this time Aunt Lian and the others would be sold to a brothel.

Gu Xi was extremely angry. This Li reminded her of her stepmother in modern times, both of them were vicious and cruel.

Gu Xi asked the waiter to book a guest room for Aunt Lian and her daughter to stay in. After she settled Aunt Lian and her daughter in the room, she asked:

"Aunt Lian, where did you live before?"

Aunt Lian replied, "It's on Wanfu Lane at the southernmost end of the town, the second house from the east. What are you going to do, young lady?"

Gu Xi said: "It's okay, I just asked casually, you guys take a rest, I'm going back to sleep too."

It was impossible to sleep.

Gu Xi changed into night clothes, took out the anti-wolf artifact - the electric baton from the space, and quietly left the inn.

You scumbags from the second house, I’m here to take revenge, tremble now!
