Qingyun's Love: Tiger Boy Falls in Love with a Pretty Lawyer
Chapter 145 Telling the Reason
Two carriages drove out of Bangzi Town one after the other. They stopped at a valley, checked the surroundings and found nothing unusual, then several people got off the carriages.
They greeted each other, comforted each other, and praised the driver's loyalty to his duty. The driver smiled innocently and just said that he was glad that everyone was well.
Everyone was concerned about Wei Hua's recent situation. However, some things were difficult to ask in detail. After expressing her gratitude to everyone, Wei Hua briefly recounted the details of her recent encounter.
Last month, she went to Xiaoyue City to contact cloth business. She ran into Mr. Ma. Upon learning of her purpose, he expressed interest and said he knew several businessmen who could help expand sales channels.
She was very happy when she heard this, and she went to visit the businessman with Ma Sheng, and agreed to give him some dividends after the business was done.
After interacting with the merchants, it became clear that Mr. Ma had exaggerated. Several of them were either small businesses that couldn't buy much cloth, or they weren't primarily dealing in cloth, only buying for their families. However, they still managed to secure one or two small orders.
Unexpectedly, when the dividends were distributed to Ma Sheng, he asked for too much, and Wei Hua thought that giving him a minimum guarantee would be good enough. The two had a conflict over this.
Later, perhaps coveting the large sum of money she was carrying, Mr. Ma, tempted by her wealth, drugged her tea. She was taken to the Black Snake Court in a daze, where not only did she lose her money but she also nearly suffered a fatal accident.
At this point, Wei Hua choked up and was about to cry. Everyone rushed to comfort her and scolded Ma Sheng for his cruelty and greed.
However, there is also a trace of doubt. Mr. Ma is also an acquaintance. The profit from selling the reed painting on cloth is not much. Why would he do such a dirty thing for such a small profit?
The thought only flashed through their minds, and no one asked questions or paid much attention. Even Ranmo, who knew reed painting well, did recall some past memories.
In Weihua's previous life, although she was doing well in the grain and oil business, she had a lot of unpleasantness with her uncle and sister-in-law who came to help her because of the issue of profit distribution.
Besides business, there were also conflicts among relatives. Ranmo had heard about an incident. When his uncle's son got married, his aunt asked Weihua to help collect and manage the gifts from the guests. This was a great trust.
But things went wrong. After the wedding banquet, my aunt said the gift money was wrong. She had clearly seen Wei Hua put a bundle of about 5,000 to 6,000 yuan in gifts into a gift box, but when she later counted the money, the cash was missing.
Her aunt was clearly suspicious of Wei Hua, thinking she might have embezzled the money. Wei Hua cried out that she was innocent and insisted that she had given all the money to her uncle's family.
Others found it difficult to tell whether it was true or not, but the story spread among relatives, and all sorts of rumors spread.
When Ranmo and Weihua went to their aunt's house, their aunt brought up the incident, intentionally or unintentionally. Weihua blushed and tried to explain herself, but Ranmo, fearing she would be embarrassed, quickly changed the subject and talked about something else.
Ran Mo didn't know what was going on. But she was clear about one thing: never take advantage of others' trust in you to do something immoral, otherwise it would be too shameless.
At the moment, she didn't want to argue with Wei Hua about the cause of the kidnapping incident. She just wanted her to return safely.
At this moment, Ayili looked at Weihua with concern and asked, "Did that old bachelor do anything to you?"
Everyone pricked up their ears. They had been quite concerned about this, but no one had dared to ask. It was Ayi, the outspoken woman, who did the asking.
Qingsheng, who was beside her, looked at her deeply and then quickly lowered his head.
Wei Hua sighed and said, "It's all thanks to him this time. He is such a good man!" Then she continued her story.
The old bachelor, Mr. Li, was originally a scholar, but he never passed the imperial examination and his parents also died one after another.
Later, he learned to sell rapeseed oil. However, he was not good at business and could only make a living. Even at such an old age, he still couldn't find a husband.
He didn't know how he came up with an idea. He wanted to find a woman he could talk to in a brothel. He didn't ask for her to be with him every day, but just wanted to express his affection to her from time to time.
He would occasionally visit the Black Snake Courtyard, but due to his limited financial resources and unwillingness to get himself into this quagmire, he would just ask a girl to drink tea and listen to music to see if there was anyone who shared the same interests with him.
However, the girls there were either prostitutes who only cared about money and were unwilling to exchange true feelings with him, or they were poor girls who were abducted and pawned here, and only hoped that one day they would meet a generous benefactor who would redeem them.
Unfortunately, Mr. Li had neither. He couldn't find his true love, nor could he afford to redeem the one or two people he found appealing. So the days just whizzed by.
At this moment, he heard that Wei Hua had been abducted here and that she was a strong-willed person who had categorically refused to comply. He couldn't help but admire her. Upon meeting Wei Hua in person, he was even more captivated by her beauty and demeanor. So, he made a bold decision.
He wanted to do his best to help her, so he found a chance to chat with Wei Hua through the door.
He simply said that the two of them could use the pretense of being in love to get Wei Hua to agree to receive guests and go to his house with him, so that they could seek a moment of peace and also think of ways to escape.
Wei Hua was moved by what she heard, but also a little hesitant. Li Sheng knew she was worried about her safety, so he swore that he would never touch her and that she just needed to talk to him.
After some thought, Wei Hua decided this was the only viable option, so she agreed. She then negotiated with the brothel owner, securing a chance for Li Sheng to take her out for the night.
Mr. Li had indeed kept his promise. He took good care of her at home and treated her with respect. Wei Hua had originally thought of finding a chance to escape, but she discovered that someone from the Black Snake Courtyard was stalking her nearby, and since she was unfamiliar with the route, she considered reporting it to the police.
But according to Li Sheng, the Black Snake Court has a complex network of connections, even the government office is connected to them. Reporting them to the authorities would be unlikely to be effective and would only lead to greater trouble. It would be better to wait and see if the right opportunity arises or if a master comes to rescue them.
Wei Hua thought it made sense, so she let it go for now. Actually, Mr. Li hadn't told her one thing yet.
When he brought Wei Hua out, the head servant of the Wushe Courtyard asked him to be a guarantor and warned that if Wei Hua escaped, he would not be spared and would have to cut off one of his arms.
He didn't dare tell Wei Hua this, fearing she might be frightened. Wei Hua also heard about it by chance from the brothel owner.
Later, when she was sent back, she happened to meet everyone who came to rescue her. That's how she escaped from the sea of suffering. Not only should I thank everyone here, but I am also grateful to Mr. Li.
Everyone sighed after hearing this. People often say that in a brothel, it's impossible for a man and a woman to develop true feelings. But Mr. Li was a kind and devoted man.
At this time, Wu Shao suggested that everyone rest where they were and continue on their journey when daybreak came.
Weihua asked happily, "Are we going home?" Aili also showed an expectant expression on her face.
Young Master Wu remained silent. The other people also had solemn expressions on their faces.
Wei Hua didn't understand what he meant. Ran Mo said to her calmly, "I need to do some things on the way back tomorrow. Just follow the others."
Wei Hua nodded and stopped asking questions. Everyone got into two cars and went to rest.
