I asked you to dig wild vegetables to pay off your debt, not go up the mountain to pick up money!

He suddenly realized that Song An Ning was still in the room, and quickly came over with a smile.

"Girl, pick any jade pendant you like, and I'll sell it to you at cost.

I feel really happy that Madam Qian has been humiliated."

Song Anning smiled and thanked him, then asked curiously, "She's also a big customer of your Lingyuezhai, right? Why do I seem to have some opinions about her?"

The shopkeeper had just received 1,500 taels of silver and was now very impressed with Song An Ning. He frowned and said:

"Miss, you don't know that the Qian family has lost a lot of money in business in the past few years. It looks good to outsiders, but it's actually empty inside.

Of course, there are gains and losses in business, but it is none of our Lingyuezhai’s business.

But every time Mrs. Qian comes, she treats us like dogs. Her condescending attitude is really disgusting. She spends half a day being picky and sometimes only buys things worth a few dozen taels.

There are so many ladies in this town, but none of them is like her."

Song Anning just smiled after hearing what he said and asked casually:

"I guess Mrs. Qian's background isn't that great, is it?"

"Oh, I didn't expect that a girl so young could have such good judgment. How could a real big family raise such a person? No matter how many dirty things are going on in those deep mansions, they are all very well-mannered to the outside world.

I have also heard from others that the Qian couple came from ordinary backgrounds and were just small business owners. More than ten years ago, our Ping'an Town suffered a disaster, and Mr. Qian had a batch of grain, which he sold for several times the price, and that's how he made his fortune.

What a pity, although I have the money, I don’t have the substance in my bones.”

Song An Ning understood in her heart, no wonder, the poor people who always talk about it, she herself was born into an ordinary family, the less she has, the more she shows off.

"Boss, I want these two jade pendants and these two silver bracelets. I'll buy them all."

"Ah, you have a really good eye. These two jade pendants are much more watery than the one Madam Qian took away. Normally they are worth three hundred taels. I won't ask for more from you, young lady. Just give me two hundred and ten taels in total."

She knew that these were all cost prices, so she sincerely thanked the shopkeeper, gave him the silver, and was about to leave with her things.

When I reached the door, I heard the shopkeeper say, "Young lady, the Qian family mother and daughter are as cunning as a needle. I have one more thing to say: It's best not to stay in the town alone. If they seek revenge, I'm afraid you, a little girl, won't be able to withstand it."

"Thank you for the reminder, shopkeeper. After I leave, please go to the wonton stall across the street and tell the girl to take the children to Zuixianju to wait for me."

"Take care, young lady. I'll go and tell them myself. Don't worry."

Wang Qiuyue and the others finished eating the wontons, but Song An Ning still hadn't come out, so they felt a little anxious.

After waiting for a long time, I finally saw her come out. Just as I was about to wave and say hello to her, I saw Song An Ning with a cold face. He shook his head at her and walked towards the west of the city.

Sure enough, just after Song An Ning walked a few hundred meters, Xiangxiang detected someone following behind.

It was not the Qian family mother and daughter, but three tall and strong men.

"Xiangxiang, do you know where the Qian family's carriage is?"

"Not far away. Across the street, the mother and daughter were waiting to see their master arrested."

"Haha, catch me?"

What kind of sweet dream are you having? Now that you've gotten into trouble with her, forget about going back peacefully. Everything will be destroyed.

Song An Ning continued to move forward, but there was a dead end ahead. The men behind him were obviously familiar with the terrain here, and their pace quickened a lot.

But no matter how fast she walked, she couldn't be faster than Song An Ning. The men were still puzzled as to why a chubby little girl could walk so fast.

Having reached a dead end, Song An Ning immediately crawled into the living creature grid, while Xiangxiang stared intently outside and reported in real time.

"Master, the three men are here."

"I didn't find anyone, so I cursed a few words and left again."

"Did you go far?"

"It's over a hundred meters away, and it's still moving forward. It shows no sign of stopping."

Song An Ning hurried out, put on high-heeled shoes, men's clothes, and a veil hat, and walked out of the alley in a swagger.

"Master, those men have returned."

Just as Song An Ning stepped into the main street, the three men came back and stared at the deserted dead end in deep thought.

"Strange, a living person just disappeared right under our noses?"

"I'm careless. This girl must have some skills."

"Boss, are you still looking for it?"

"What are you looking for? We've already taken the money. It's not our fault if we can't catch him. Let's go and have a drink!"

After hearing what they said, Song An Ning curled her lips. This wasn't the end of it. Didn't the Qian family mother and daughter like to send people to brothels? Then they could experience it themselves. How nice.

The street where the Qian family's carriage was parked wasn't a main street, and there weren't many people. A woman was standing beside the carriage, and there was a driver in front. Mrs. Qian had already gotten out and was pacing around the carriage.

Those three guys are notorious thugs in the town. If I give them money, they should bring the person here, right?

She also wanted to see Song An Ning kneeling in front of her and begging her. Just thinking about it made her feel happy.

Song An Ning found the right time to slow down when passing by the carriage, waited for Madam Qian to go around to the side where there was no one, quickly reached out and touched Madam Qian, and put her into the living creature compartment.

After catching the man, she didn't stop and headed straight to the west of the city.

He grabbed a little beggar, gave him a few copper coins, and easily found out where the beggars' den in the slums was.

The location is a dilapidated temple at the westernmost end. According to the little beggar, there are at least dozens of people living in it. That group of people has formed their own gang and often steal things in the west of the city. They are not considered good people.

This was just right. Near the ruined temple, Song An Ning hid behind a tree and took out Madam Qian from the grid. Before she could react, he knocked her unconscious with a hammer.

She dragged Madam Qian into the dilapidated temple like a dead dog. At that time, many beggars had gone out to beg and had not returned yet. There were only about ten people in the house, sharing a few cold and hard steamed buns.

Seeing Song An Ning dragging people in, several people immediately blocked the door with unfriendly expressions.

"Get out of here, this is our territory."

"Where's your boss? I'm looking for him."

"..."

The smell in the dilapidated temple was disgusting. On the pile of straw in the innermost room, lay a man in his twenties, with his dirty hair covering half of his face. Seeing Song An Ning's outfit, he squinted his eyes and stood up impatiently.

"Are you looking for me?"

"This woman is a gift to you. Don't let her die. Play with her as you please."

"Oh? This woman looks like she's from a wealthy family. Don't let her cause any trouble."

The beggar leader refused directly, but his eyes kept looking at Mrs. Qian. She was a little old, but she had fair skin and tender flesh, so they were not picky.

"Is this enough?"

Song An Ning threw a silver ingot at him and added, "If it's not enough, I'll sell her to a brothel."

Ten taels of silver, what else could be enough? If you get a woman, you can get the silver, and when you get tired of playing with her, you can sell her and make another fortune.

The beggar leader took a bite of the silver ingot and thanked Song An Ning happily.

He grabbed Mrs. Qian's hair and dragged her inside, shouting, "Brothers, it's time to eat meat."

More than a dozen pairs of dirty hands reached out to Madam Qian, and Song An Ning reminded her, "Just keep your breath. I'll come pick you up in ten days, and you can get five taels of silver."

"You are such a good person, hahahaha, don't worry, sir, we are waiting for you!"

Song An Ning nodded and left, not knowing that on the other side, the Qian family was busy looking for someone on the street, and Qian Wanyi was crying with tears and snot.

"Mom, where are you?"
