"You fart!"

Before Diao Chan could even recover from her shock...

Iron Stone pointed at Master Zhang first and shouted, "You're talking nonsense!"

Tie Shitou shouted angrily, "My sister-in-law is my brother Duan's wife. Who wants to go to your Wang family to be a dancer!"

"You're here to cause trouble!"

"They've come to humiliate Brother Duan!"

"Hu Nu, Qing An, Bai Tu, they humiliated my sister-in-law and Brother Duan. Arrest them."

"We'll deal with them when Brother Duan gets back!"

"Yes, arrest them!"

"How dare you humiliate Brother Duan! Arrest him!"

Now, Duan Yu regards Tie Shitou and the others as gods.

Duan Yu not only taught them how to hunt, but also provided them with food and training.

They're even closer than a biological brother.

Now someone is openly humiliating Duan Yu.

This is tantamount to humiliating them.

They didn't know anything about the Wang family of Jinyang.

But they still understood what the dancer meant.

That's for the amusement of the rich.

Upon hearing this, Master Zhang turned deathly pale.

Diao Chan, however, was awakened from her shock by the shouts of Shi Tou and the others.

"Wait a minute, put down the stone." Diao Chan stopped her.

Tie Shitou glared indignantly at Diao Chan and said, "Sister-in-law, they humiliated you and Brother Duan. We can't let them get away with this!"

Diao Chan shook her head and said, "Shi Tou, are you not listening to your sister-in-law?"

Tie Shitou quickly shook his head: "No, sister-in-law, I wouldn't dare disobey you."

"only....."

Tie Shitou, his eyes red with resentment, said, "They can humiliate me, but they can't humiliate my sister-in-law."

“My sister-in-law sews and mends our clothes and cooks delicious food for us. Over the years, besides my mother, my sister-in-law has been the best to me.”

He said his sister-in-law was a dancer.

"That's an insult to my sister-in-law! I, Tie Shitou, would rather die than stand for it!"

Tie Shitou stood still, veins bulging on his forehead, his fists clenched tightly.

Diao Chan felt grateful.

But he still shook his head and said, "Stone, listen to me, we'll talk about it when your Brother Duan comes back."

"I....."

As she spoke, Diao Chan turned her gaze to Zhang, the troupe leader, who was surrounded in the middle and looked pale with fright.

"I don't know what kind of contract you're talking about, but you can wait here for a bit."

After saying this, Diao Chan, worried that Tie Shitou might act recklessly, added a blessing: "Shitou, you must not act recklessly, do you hear me?"

"It will cause trouble for your Brother Duan and make him unhappy."

Tie Shitou took a deep breath and nodded: "Sister-in-law, I'll listen to you."

After saying that, Diao Chan turned around and walked towards the room that was furthest away from the three rooms.

Inside the room, Diao Chan had already made up a new bed for Li Gou'er.

New bedding was put on.

There is another case.

The lunch left over from lunch was placed on the table.

Li Gou'er lay in bed.

Hearing the door open, I was so startled that I jumped up.

But when he saw that it was Diao Chan, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's Chan'er." Li Gou'er said with a fawning smile, "Chan'er, Chan'er, please talk to your husband and let me out."

"Don't worry, I promise, I promise I will never do anything to betray you again."

"I promise, I promise to turn over a new leaf in the future."

"Spring planting is just around the corner. I can work, I can farm," Li Gou'er pleaded.

Diao Chan stood in front of the door, her gaze fixed on Li Gou'er.

Originally, Diao Chan felt somewhat reluctant to treat Li Gou'er.

They are family after all.

After all, he was her aunt's husband.

Although she has suffered a lot at Li Gou'er's hands over the years.

They are often scolded for doing things poorly.

But after all, they had depended on each other for so many years, and seeing Li Gou'er locked up here, they couldn't bear it.

So they got a bed and bedding for Li Gou'er.

They also deliver three meals a day.

But.....

“Uncle…” Diao Chan began.

"Yes, yes, yes," Li Gou'er quickly agreed with a smile.

Thinking that Diao Chan was going to let him go, Li Gou'er immediately put on a smile: "Chan'er, we are all family, there's nothing we can't talk about."

"Uncle will definitely change!"

“Our family’s life is getting better and better, and I, Uncle, will no longer act foolishly.”

Diao Chan did not react at all.

His expression remained cold.

"Uncle, this is the last time I will call you uncle."

Diao Chan took a deep breath, her heart filled with endless sorrow.

She didn't expect it.

She had given so much to him for so many years without asking for anything in return, and this man she had called her uncle and adoptive father for so many years actually sold her.

And she was even sold to someone to be a dancer.

Seemingly sensing something amiss in Diao Chan's gaze, and perhaps because of what Diao Chan had said, Li Gou'er's heart immediately clenched.

"Chan'er, what... what do you mean by that?" Li Gou'er said, bowing. "Uncle... Uncle has already admitted his mistake."

"Admit your mistake?"

Diao Chan bit her lip and said, "I'm asking you, did you sell me to someone else to be a dancer?"

"what!"

Li Gou'er trembled instantly.

It's not just about dodging.

"this....."

"this....."

"Chan'er, you...you have to listen to your uncle's explanation," Li Gou'er said in a panic.

"An explanation?" Diao Chan shook her head and said, "I thought we were family."

Even if you often beat and scold me, just consider it as me not taking things seriously.

"But I never expected that you would sell me for a single gold coin."

"You're going to ruin me, you know that?"

Tears welled up in her eyes, but Diao Chan forced herself to hold them back, pretending to be strong.

Parents to enrich people.

As her adoptive father, Li Gou'er's signing of the indenture was tantamount to selling her.

The man was holding a document with Li Gou'er's signature, which served as evidence.

If it were about the Shangguan family, she would have no way to defend herself.

If she were to truly become a lowly person or a prostitute, what face would she have left to remain before Duan Yu?

Li Gou'er shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no."

"Chan'er, it's not what you think."

"Chan'er, that man said he was the head of the music and dance troupe of the Wang family of Jinyang."

"He said that with your looks, as long as you go to the Wang family, you will definitely be noticed by high-ranking officials and nobles, and then you will be rich and powerful without any worries about food and clothing."

"Chan'er, your uncle really isn't bewitched."

"Your uncle is doing this for your own good."

Li Gou'er's sophistry sounded even more ironic to Diao Chan.

Selling her into a lowly status, into a prostitute, was actually for her own good?

There's no such logic in this world.

If one is registered as a prostitute, one's family will be prostitutes for generations.

This was actually for her own good.

Diao Chan turned away, no longer looking at Li Gou'er.

"From now on, you are no longer my uncle, and I have no further connection with you."

"If my husband... if my husband wants to kill you again, I will never stop him."

"you...."

"Just take care of yourself."
