Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy
Chapter 16 Catch the mother-in-law
The gatekeeper informed Zhao Da, the pimp of Baihua Tower, as per the rules. Zhao Da was in charge of the minor transactions in Baihua Tower.
After examining the indenture in Mrs. Zhang's hand, Zhao Da said, as a matter of course: "Ordinary goods are eight taels of silver, top-quality goods are twenty taels of silver, and the most beautiful ones are one hundred taels."
Mrs. Zhang thought about it and thought that although the bitch had a good appearance, she was probably not stunningly beautiful. But she got the twenty taels of silver, so she felt very happy.
"When can you bring the person here?" Zhao Da asked.
"My granddaughter is very proud and won't come here of her own accord," Mrs. Zhang asked cautiously. "I wonder if Baihualou can send someone to capture her."
Zhao Da glanced at Mrs. Zhang with displeasure on his face: "We can send someone, but we'll deduct five taels of silver as errand fee."
"Five taels?" Mrs. Zhang exclaimed. She felt a little distressed, but then she thought that this was a business with no capital investment and it was a sure profit, so she felt relieved.
"We can send someone to catch him today, and you will be responsible for leading the way." There are not many new people in the building recently, and Zhao Da wants to complete this deal as soon as possible.
Mrs. Zhang rolled her eyes and smiled: "My granddaughter has been working as a temporary worker at a wealthy family these days. I'm not sure when she will be back. I'll keep an eye on her and let you know if she comes back."
Seeing Mrs. Zhang's eyes wandering, Zhao Da suspected she might be cheating, so he became more cautious. He lied that he needed to inspect the indenture one more time and secretly made a copy of Mrs. Zhang's granddaughter's indenture. He then instructed her, "Since the time is not set, you should carry the indenture with you for the next few days. When the time comes, you can just make the deal directly to avoid any further trouble."
Mrs. Zhang nodded repeatedly.
From then on, Mrs. Zhang stopped going to work and stared at the gate of Zhang's house every day, waiting anxiously. Finally, when the bitch left with her maid, she would quietly follow them.
Xie Qingli walked down the street, feeling the same way as if she were being watched. The streets were bustling with people, making it difficult to spot who was following her. She looked left and right as if nothing had happened, but inwardly she wondered who was watching her.
Could it be Xue Henian? But Renjitang had completely collapsed, and the shopkeeper, doctors, and waiters had all run away. Who was working for Xue Henian?
Or was it Xie Qingyao? Could it be that her rebirth had changed the course of events, and Xie Qingyao knew her life story in advance?
The more Xie Qingli thought about it, the more frightened she became. Today, she had to find the person who was following her before she could feel at ease. She took Chunya into a clothing store, picked out a few men's suits, asked the shopkeeper to adjust the size, and told Chunya to wait in the store. Then Xie Qingli swaggered out of the store.
Meanwhile, upon seeing Xie Qingli enter the shop, Mrs. Zhang desperately ran to Baihualou. Zhao Da sent two eunuchs to follow Mrs. Zhang to catch her. Worried that Xie Qingli had wandered off, Mrs. Zhang rushed all the way. The two eunuchs secretly grumbled, saying they had never seen anyone so eager to sell their granddaughter.
As they approached the clothing store, Mrs. Zhang happened to see Xie Qingli coming out alone, without the maidservant who always followed her. A surge of joy welled up in Mrs. Zhang's heart; this was a godsend. She pointed at Xie Qingli, her fingertips trembling with excitement. "Gentlemen, the one in front is my granddaughter."
The two men looked at Xie Qingli carefully. Although her face was a little unclear from a distance, they could tell she was a beauty. She was indeed a top-notch beauty. However, they were a little puzzled: "Why is your granddaughter wearing such fine clothes? She looks like a lady from a wealthy family. Is she really your granddaughter?"
Mrs. Zhang said in a panic, "Of course she's my granddaughter! This unfilial girl, who worked for a wealthy family and earned money but didn't contribute to her family, and only cared about dressing herself up, what's the point of keeping her? That's why I, an old woman, want to sell her."
The two old men looked at each other and thought, "Never mind, if this woman says it's true, then so be it! Anyway, she'll take care of it if anything goes wrong."
When the three saw Xie Qingli walk into an empty alley, they were all cheered up. The opportunity had come so soon, and they excitedly followed him into the alley.
The two old men quickly stepped forward and stretched out their hands to grab Xie Qingli's shoulders. It was effortless to grab such a delicate little girl. Just a little scare would make her turn pale and burst into tears.
"Crack! Click!"
The girl was not caught, but the two men's outstretched arms were broken neatly. Then, punches and kicks rained down on their bodies and faces. Soon, they were beaten with bruises and fell to the ground wailing.
Xie Qingli stepped on one of the men's arms and asked coldly, "Who sent you here?"
The two old men had never seen such a scene before, and they immediately confessed everything: "Lady, please spare our lives. We are from Baihua Tower, and it was that woman who brought us to capture you." The two hands that were not broken pointed at Woman Zhang who was a few feet away.
Mrs. Zhang was so frightened that she froze in place. Two burly men were tossed around like two sacks, and the one who caused all this was a skinny little girl. Mrs. Zhang suddenly suspected that this world was not the one she was familiar with.
When the powerful girl glanced at her coldly, Mrs. Zhang's old legs were finally able to move. She stumbled towards the alley entrance, but Xie Qingli flew in front of her like a ghost, and with a roundhouse kick, Mrs. Zhang was kicked back to her original position.
Xie Qingli looked down at Mrs. Zhang. She had almost forgotten about this person. She didn't expect that it was this old woman who was causing trouble recently.
The two eunuchs witnessed Xie Qingli's terrifying fighting power again and were so frightened that they begged for mercy again and again: "Lady, this old woman said you were her granddaughter and she wanted to sell you to Baihua Tower, and she even took your indenture with her. We brothers have only just realized that you are not her granddaughter. We have been deceived so badly! Lady, please be magnanimous and let us go back! We have an eighty-year-old mother above us and children crying for food below us..."
Xie Qingli scratched her ears and said impatiently, "Shut up! I can let you go today. But you are not allowed to rob decent women anymore, otherwise..." She paused and glanced at the two men's crotches: "I'll let you be eunuchs. I guess being a eunuch in a brothel must be a different experience!"
The two men felt a chill beneath their crotch, hurriedly scrambled to their feet, bowed respectfully, and replied, "We wouldn't dare, not again." They fled as if escaping. It was terrifying. If the beautiful women in the brothel became eunuchs, wouldn't they vomit to death?
Mrs. Zhang watched the two figures disappear at the entrance of the alley. She wanted to defend herself, but her mouth was open, like a gourd with its mouth sawed off, and she couldn't say a word.
Xie Qingli touched Mrs. Zhang's body and found two indentures.
This woman was so cruel, she actually used her own granddaughter's indenture for such a scheme. Didn't she know that the indenture had to be handed over to Baihualou when making a deal with them? This would ruin her granddaughter's life. Perhaps with her mind, she was only thinking about harming Xie Qingli and hadn't considered this at all!
Xie Qingli looked at Mrs. Zhang, wondering how to teach her a lesson.
After her initial fear, Mrs. Zhang regained her courage. She sneered, "You little bitch, if you dare to hit me, I'll tell the whole county about your immorality and see who will dare to marry you in the future." She pointed to her mouth complacently and said, "I have a clever mouth. I can turn white into black and life into death."
"Hmph, you're still a bit naive if you want to fight me." Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth and said, "It was my old carelessness this time that allowed you to escape. Next time, I will definitely sell you to a brothel. That's where a bitch like you belongs."
Xie Qingli didn't waste time talking to Mrs. Zhang. He took out a pill and quickly stuffed it into her mouth. Mrs. Zhang tried desperately to vomit, but the pill dissolved in water and disappeared in an instant. Mrs. Zhang opened her mouth but no sound came out.
Xie Qingli rubbed her ears. "It's so noisy! It's finally quiet." She smiled at Mrs. Zhang. "This is the voice-loss pill I developed a few days ago. It hasn't been tested on humans yet. You're honored to be the first. I hate being framed the most. Since you're so flattering and misleading, shut up forever!"
Mrs. Zhang was terrified and shook her head frantically. She just wanted to bluff and scare Xie Qingli.
Seeing that Mrs. Zhang was struggling to get up, Xie Qingli took off her belt and coat, tied her up tightly, and put her in a nearby dry well, covering the well mouth with straw. Surrounded by a deserted yard, it was difficult for anyone to find her.
Xie Qingli walked around the area, making sure everything was safe before turning back. If this woman didn't suffer a little, she probably wouldn't repent.
When Xie Qingli returned to the shop, Chunya was already getting a little impatient and kept looking out the door.
As soon as Xie Qingli entered the shop, Chunya ran over and grabbed her hand: "Miss, you must bring me with you next time you go out to do something. Madam has given me to you, and I should always be by your side and never be separated."
Xie Qingli whispered in Chunya's ear: "There are bad guys following us. I just went to deal with them. You don't know kung fu, so it will be dangerous if you go."
"What?" Chunya quickly covered her mouth and asked in a low voice, "What bad guy? Miss, are you okay?"
"I have caught the bad guy and hid him. Don't make any noise. You will see him tomorrow." Xie Qingli made a gesture to keep quiet.
Chunya suddenly felt a little nervous and excited. She rubbed her hands vigorously, as if she was about to fight a bad guy.
Xie Qingli tapped her head and changed the subject: "Have you finished altering the clothes? We need to wear them when we go out tomorrow."
Chunya patted the bag on her body and said happily, "It's fixed! Miss Custodian is satisfied."
