When Shopkeeper Wang saw the change in the crowd's attitude, he immediately started shouting loudly.

"I don't care if she's a fugitive or not. She's already signed a life-or-death contract with me. I can do whatever I want to her."

"No, I signed a living contract, not a death contract."

Lan Niang was puzzled. She saw it clearly, so how could it become a death contract the next day?

Lu Yanyan's heart moved slightly. Lan Niang was a smart woman and she would not be able to confuse a death contract with a living contract.

I'm afraid there's something fishy going on here.

It’s good to have a trick. I’m not afraid of my opponent making mistakes, I’m just afraid of him not making mistakes.

"Mrs. Lan said it was a living contract, but this Shopkeeper Wang said it was a dead contract. Why don't we ask Shopkeeper Wang to produce the contract so we can tell the difference?"

While Lu Yanyan was speaking, he stared at Manager Wang without blinking.

She saw a hint of discomfort flash across Manager Wang's face when he heard the words "living contract".

Lu Yanyan was even more certain that there must be something wrong with this Shopkeeper Wang.

"Yes, take out the deed and have a look."

The crowd of onlookers spoke out.

"Ah, bah, you can look at it if you want, but I won't let you see my stuff."

"Then report it to the authorities. Without a contract, you are forcing women into slavery. You should know the punishment for forcing women into slavery in our Dayu Kingdom, right?"

As Lu Yanyan spoke, he wanted to drag Manager Wang to report to the police.

"Why report it to the authorities? You can go ahead and see if you want. How big of a deal is it to report it to the authorities? I'm just afraid of trouble, not you."

Shopkeeper Wang took out the deed reluctantly.

She even carried Qin Yuru on her back, fearing that she would be snatched away by Qin Yuru.

Shopkeeper Wang carefully held it up and showed it to the onlookers.

There are many literate people in the crowd.

"That's right, it's a death contract! The contract says that this Lan Niang voluntarily sells herself to Shopkeeper Wang as a slave, and she cannot be redeemed for life."

Qin Yuru frowned when she heard this, and Lan Niang's face turned pale. She just kept crying and shaking her head.

Lu Yanyan moved closer to the deed, and Manager Wang quickly took it into his arms, fearing that Lu Yanyan would snatch it away.

Lu Yanyan sniffed, and his eyes lit up surprisingly at this moment.

"Manager Wang, do you know what crime you are guilty of by forging a deed?"

A trace of panic flashed across Manager Wang's face, and then he started shouting.

"Little bitch, what nonsense are you talking about? Who forged the deed? You bastard, you actually slandered me like this just to save that whore. I should sell both of you to a brothel and let thousands of people fuck you... Ouch!"

Shopkeeper Wang covered his mouth with his hands, blood seeping through his fingers.

She looked at Qin Yuru in horror.

Qin Yuru used a stone to knock out two of Wang's front teeth and the corner of his mouth.

Her eyes were cold as she approached Shopkeeper Wang step by step.

"If you dare to say something rude again, I will knock all your teeth out."

My sister-in-law is so handsome!

Lu Yanyan sighed in his heart, but he did not forget the serious things.

"Sister-in-law, there's something wrong with the deed."

Qin Yuru kicked Manager Wang to the ground and took out the deed from her arms.

Shopkeeper Wang wanted to take it back, but Qin Yuru gave him a cold look and he dared not move.

Lu Yanyan took the deed and opened it to take a look.

"Manager Wang, tell me, with this lemon juice-added ink, should I make it visible now, or should I go to the county yamen and make it visible in front of the county magistrate?"

When Shopkeeper Wang heard this, his face turned pale.

She quickly got up, knelt down beside Lu Yanyan, and said in a leaky voice, "I'll give you the deed, and I'll let her go."

"The thirty taels she gave you, and her monthly allowance?"

"Give it all to her, give it all to her."

Shopkeeper Wang never imagined that this woman could see through something she had done more than ten times without fail.

But Shopkeeper Wang didn't dare to say another word now.

She ran into Yuyifang, took out forty taels of silver and handed it to Lan Niang.

Then he said to Lu Yanyan flatteringly, "Her monthly salary is two taels of silver, and that's only for a dozen days. Anything more is my compensation to her."

"Has it been filed with the government?"

Although it might not be too late according to the time, Lu Yanyan still felt it would be more reassuring to confirm it.

"No, I swear, it's not on record."

How could she dare to file such a thing? She was just taking advantage of Lan Niang because she had no one to rely on and had no way to appeal.

The onlookers were surprised. How come Shopkeeper Wang changed his face in an instant?

"Madam, what's the problem with this indenture?"

Lan Niang indeed had no household registration, so it would be of no use to her if she went to the government.

When Lu Yanyan said he would report to the police, he was just trying to force Manager Wang to hand over the deed.

Now that the deed has been obtained and Lan Niang's money has been returned, she naturally will not report to the authorities again.

Besides, she didn't have much time to spend in Mingyuan County.

But this shopkeeper Wang dared to deceive Lan Niang in this way. I'm afraid someone has been deceived by her before.

If the truth is not revealed now, I am afraid that more people will be harmed by this trick in the future.

Thinking of this, Lu Yanyan ignored Manager Wang's pleading eyes and explained loudly to the onlookers.

“What most people don’t know is that if you add lemon juice to ink, the writing will disappear within a short while.

Some people use this method to write whatever they want on the paper where you have put your fingerprints.

However, fake is fake after all. If you place this kind of paper over a fire and bake it, the original writing will appear again."

When Shopkeeper Wang saw that Lu Yanyan had revealed her secret, he was about to hit her, but was kicked away by Qin Yuru.

Qin Yuru used all her strength in this kick.

Her family is a business family and they really hate people who use tricks like this.

Shopkeeper Wang felt like her ribs were about to break. She lay on the ground groaning and trying to get up.

At this moment, someone rushed up and grabbed her.

"Okay, I said there was a problem with the paperwork last time. So this is where the problem lies. Come on, follow me to see the official."

"Lanhua, my Lanhua, was deceived by this shopkeeper Wang and signed a contract to sell her body. Report it to the police, report it to the police."

"Everyone, please ask if there are other victims. We can't let her get away with it."

……

There was a lot of noise in the crowd. Manager Wang had been dragged to the government office, and many people followed him.

A few people even ran up to Lu Yanyan, bowed deeply, said "Thank you, Madam, for telling me", and hurriedly followed her.

This shopkeeper Wang will definitely pay the price for her actions.

But at this moment, Lu Yanyan and the other two could no longer care about what happened next.

Han Qingyun took the newly bought carriage and looked at Lu Yanyan with a smile. They had to go home.

Qin Yuru looked at the look in Han Qingyun and Lu Yanyan's eyes, and always felt a little overwhelmed.

But she didn't eat much for lunch.

Of course Qin Yuru didn't know that she had just eaten a kind of food called "dog food".

It was not until she followed Lu Yanyan and Qin Yuru onto the horse that Lan Niang felt like she had escaped death.

"Mrs. Han, Mrs. Lu, you saved me again."

Lu Yanyan handed her a handkerchief.

"Lan Niang, stop crying. Why did you come to Mingyuan County? Where are Zhenzhen and the others?"

When Lan Niang heard the word "Zhenzhen", her expression became a little better.

But she didn't know what she remembered, and her face quickly became gloomy again.

After a long time, Lan Niang's hoarse voice sounded again.

"Zhenzhen is back home. She's the luckiest of us all. Madam Han, you're right. There are parents in this world who care more about their daughter's life than her reputation..."

Lan Niang's words were intermittent and incoherent, but Lu Yanyan and Qin Yuru understood them.

Since the day Lu Yanyan and the others left, Lan Niang took several other women to the mountains to recuperate.

They listened to what Lu Yanyan said.

They also agreed to live hard...
