Before Shang could clear his mind, a woman's fawning voice suddenly came from outside the temple.

Upon hearing this, the two daughters trembled and their faces turned deathly pale.

Even so, they suppressed their fear, helped each other to the door, and peeked out cautiously.

"Grandma's here!" Pan'er, pale-faced, turned and ran back hastily, her voice filled with barely suppressed fear and anger: "Grandma brought people with her, it's Liu the Scarface! They must be... they must be..."

"What is it?" Shang Qing frowned and pressed for an answer.

Although it's easy to guess that they came here to cause trouble, the key question is: what is their purpose?

Nian'er followed closely behind, ran to Shang Qing, knelt down with a thud, and said quickly and clearly, "That day, Mother gave birth in this desolate wilderness and almost lost her life. My sister and I went to beg Grandmother to save Mother, and Grandmother gave us fifty coins to buy medicine!"

Upon hearing Nian'er's words, Shang Qing understood immediately: they had come to collect a debt!

Just as she was about to ask for more details, the people barged in. The leader was a tall and fierce man with a long, horrifying scar on his face. It was none other than Liu Scarface.

Beside him followed an old woman with a calculating look on her face. She was none other than the original owner's mother-in-law, Madam Gu!

Several burly men followed behind them, their faces grim; they were clearly Liu Bazi's henchmen.

This is bad...

"Oh dear, they're all here!" Madam Gu stormed in with a fierce expression, rudely pulling back the tattered clothes covering the baby in Shang Qing's arms. Upon seeing the baby's gender, a look of disgust immediately appeared on her face, and she pushed the baby away: "As expected, another money-losing child. You can't possibly give birth to a boy!"

Madam Gu looked disdainful, but when she looked at Liu the Scarface, her expression immediately became fawning: "Eldest son of the Liu family, you've met my two granddaughters. Although they're still young, they'll definitely be beautiful as flowers in the future!"

"And look at my wife here. Although she can't give birth to a son, if you like her, then you can do whatever you want with her."

Upon hearing this, Shang Qing had already grasped most of the situation.

Not content with kicking the mother and daughters out, Madam Gu actually planned to sell her two young granddaughters and her daughter-in-law who had just given birth!

His heart is as black as charcoal!

As for that Liu the Scarface, he's never been a decent person and has long coveted the original owner of this body.

The original owner was beautiful, a fact acknowledged by everyone in the surrounding area.

Because the original owner's husband, who was also the third son of Lady Gu, had been serving in the military and was considered an official, Liu Bazi dared not act rashly.

Now, Liu Bazi's eyes gleamed with murderous intent, as if he wanted to devour Shang Qing alive. Shang Qing was currently weak, and her two daughters were still young; if they were to fight head-on, who could they possibly defeat?

Her only reliance was that system.

Shang Qing racked his brains, trying his best to find a way to break the deadlock.

Meanwhile, Madam Gu continued to nag Liu Bazi: "Look at you, you know so many people, selling a few little girls is a piece of cake, isn't it? You can make a fortune just by reselling them?"

“You sell the children. Shang Qing was originally a daughter-in-law of the Gu family. I can arrange for her to marry you, right? Anyway, I'm not greedy. They eat and drink my food. They even took five taels of silver from me when they gave birth a few days ago. Once you sell them and make some money, just give me two or three taels of silver…”

Enraged, Shang Qing finally snapped and growled, "You're talking nonsense!"
