Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

Shen Zhiyi winked at Ji Qingyi, who understood and immediately turned around and walked quickly into the house. Not long after, he came out holding a contract.

"Ayi, he sold Xie Yushu's mother. The address is on the contract." Ji Qingyi said solemnly.

Tao Jiuxi picked up the laundry mallet without saying a word and turned to Ji Qingyi and said, "Brother Yi, please go and save Yushu's mother first. Ayi and I are here."

"Okay, be careful." Ji Qingyi said, and was about to walk out the door.

"Why didn't you warn me?" Shen Zhiyi asked with a jealous look on his face.

"You? Be gentle, don't kill him." Ji Qingyi said without stopping.

Tao Jiuxi directly hit the man's arm with a hammer, and the man immediately screamed in pain.

"Hitting the head or arms won't do any good. I'm the more appropriate person to handle this kind of thing."

Shen Zhiyi looked at Tao Jiuxi and said seriously.

Tao Jiuxi hit the man hard a few more times, saying as he did so, "I'm going to keep him alive and torture him slowly. If you hit him, he'll faint in an instant."

"You are unreasonable!" the man shouted in a trembling voice, his words full of fear.

"Did you ever use reason when you attacked Xie Yushu? Tell me, where did you hide Xie Yushu?" Tao Jiuxi's eyes were wide open with anger, the hammer in his hand was shaking slightly due to the force, and the anger in his eyes seemed to devour the man.

"She really ran away on her own. I admit that I beat her once, but it was because I saw that she was desperate to escape that I sold her mother in a fit of rage." The man curled up on the ground, trying to find an excuse for his evil deeds, his voice tinged with guilt.

"What qualifications do you have to sell someone else's mother? Who do you think you are to dare to do such a thing?" Tao Jiuxi's face turned red with anger and he shouted loudly.

"I was wrong. I just signed a contract with someone privately. I will return the money to you. Please stop hitting me." The man begged, his eyes full of fear.

"It's about the money, isn't it? You piece of shit."

Tao Jiuxi became more and more angry as he listened. The hammer in his hand rained down on the man, again and again, as if he wanted to vent all the anger in his heart.

The man was beaten until his body was covered with bruises and wounds, but he still insisted that Xie Yushu had run away with someone.

At this moment, the servants outside hurried in to report: "Report to the Duke and the County Lady, we have found the whereabouts of Miss Xie."

When the man heard this, his face turned pale as paper in an instant, his face was full of disbelief, and the panic in his eyes was even worse.

"Where is it?" Tao Jiuxi asked anxiously.

"Spring City. Wanhua Pavilion." The guard replied respectfully.

"What place is that?" Tao Jiuxi frowned. In fact, she already had a guess in her mind, but at this moment, she hoped that it was not what she thought.

The guard lowered his head, looking embarrassed and embarrassment, and did not dare to answer.

Shen Zhiyi said coldly, "Brothel."

When Tao Jiuxi heard this, he felt a surge of anger rushing from his feet to his forehead, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

She raised the mallet and smashed it hard on the man's forehead, roaring, "You're fucking dead!"

The man's forehead was immediately torn open and blood gushed out.

This blow seemed to have made him dizzy and dazed. He was completely stunned and couldn't even make a sound to argue. He just collapsed to the ground with a dull look in his eyes.

"Take him back and arrange for a few more people to guard him. When Qingyi comes back, we will set off for Chuncheng immediately."

It was the first time that Shen Zhiyi saw Tao Jiuxi so angry. He hurried forward and stroked her back, comforting her.

Afterwards, the man was tied up and taken back to the ship by the guards.

Xiao He went back to visit her father and had not returned yet, so Tao Jiuxi sent someone to pick her up.

Two hours later, Ji Qingyi returned with Xie Yushu's mother.

Tao Jiuxi didn't bother to ask about the situation of Xie Yushu's mother, and ordered to set off for Chuncheng.

It was not until the ship set sail that Tao Jiuxi went to see Xie Yushu's mother, who was still emotionally unstable.

As soon as Xie Yushu's mother, Sun, saw Tao Jiuxi, her face was immediately filled with guilt. Without saying a word, she knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Sorry to trouble you again, Miss Tao."

"Aunt, please get up quickly." Tao Jiuxi hurriedly reached out to support her.

Sun has always been a timid person. Even though she is not unfamiliar with Tao Jiuxi, she is still timid and cowardly, and there is a hint of fear in her eyes when she looks at people.

"I already feel that I have no face to live in this world anymore, but I really can't let Yushu go." Sun said while crying, and her tears kept rolling down like beads with broken string.

"Aunt, don't worry, I will definitely rescue Yushu." Tao Jiuxi held Sun's hand tightly with a firm tone.

"We were so foolish that we trusted Pan Sanlang. He was addicted to gambling. Every time he lost money, he would come back with a sullen face. Yushu couldn't stand it anymore, so we kindly advised him to live a good life. He agreed at the time, but secretly used the money you gave Yushu to gamble. When Yushu found out, he was so angry that he beat Yushu up."

"To satisfy his selfish desires, he even had us declare to the public that he was the son of a wealthy Jiangnan businessman and that he ran away from home because he fell in love with Yushu. He even had me lie and say I was a servant he brought with him."

"We didn't know he was this kind of person at first. We thought a man out in the world needed to be respectable, so we thought it was okay. But then he lost all his money and started talking nonsense, saying that Yushu's sad face every day brought him bad luck. Then he insisted on dragging Yushu up the mountain to pray for blessings. This time, he was gone for twenty days."

Sun's face was filled with tears as she spoke. She no longer cared what she was talking about, but just poured out all the grievances and pain that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time, like pouring out bitter water.

After listening to these words, Tao Jiuxi realized that Sun still didn't know that her daughter had been sold to a brothel. She thought Xie Yushu was still praying on the mountain. Looking at the emotional Sun in front of her, she felt that it would be better to keep this news secret from Sun for the time being, otherwise she was afraid that Sun would not be able to bear it.

At present, Pan Sanlang has been gagged and locked in the cabin on the first floor. There is also someone guarding him. We will wait until we find Xie Yushu and then ask the mother and daughter what to do with them.

"Then why did you move, aunt?"

"One day, Pan Sanlang said that the feng shui of his previous house was bad, which was why he kept losing money, so he sold it and bought this one. I originally thought that he kept me with him because he cared about me being Yushu's mother, but I didn't expect that he just wanted me to be by his side like a cow or a horse, doing the laundry and cooking for him to drive around."

"Later, he said his family was broke and he wanted to take me to work somewhere. He also threatened me that if I didn't go, I'd never see Yushu again. As a result, when I got there, the widower locked me up. He said Pan Sanlang had signed a contract with him and I was now his. I threatened to commit suicide, but the widower just locked me up in the woodshed."

However, although she did not let the widower succeed, she felt unspeakable pain in her heart.

She was only in her early thirties, still young. Although she had been a concubine in the capital, she had always maintained herself well. After moving to this courtyard, the cruel and insane Pan Sanlang actually sneaked into her room one night and climbed into her bed.

He shamelessly said that Xie Yushu was not at home and he was so lustful that he asked her to serve him instead of Yushu. He also threatened her viciously that if she didn't obey, she would never see Xie Yushu again.

She was filled with shame and anger, nearly collapsing, but Pan Sanlang threatened Xie Yushu's life and death. Pan Sanlang seemed weak, but after all, the power disparity between men and women was huge, and in the end, she could not escape his clutches and was brutally raped by him.

Just looking at Tao Jiuxi with a worried face in front of her, Sun opened her mouth, but she couldn't say these shameful things no matter what.

Sun secretly made up her mind that after they rescued Xie Yushu and she had no worries, she would jump into the river and commit suicide, ending this painful life.

"Aunt, you have suffered a lot, but everything will be fine. Yushu has been sent to a temple elsewhere, and we will go to pick her up now." Tao Jiuxi looked at Sun with sympathy in his eyes, but he didn't know how to comfort her. He felt that words were so pale and powerless at this moment.

After hearing what Tao Jiuxi said, Sun knelt down again and pleaded with tears in her eyes, "Miss Tao, please don't tell Yushu that Pan Sanlang sold me out."
