Expelled from the Duke's mansion, the fake heiress is richer than a country.

When the pimps realized someone had actually died, they couldn't let Yu Wanran leave! One rushed to check Zhong Yeliu's breathing, while the other hurriedly grabbed her.

"Uncle Yu, what's going on? The girl was perfectly fine when she was brought to your room last night!"

Yu Wanran straightened her neck and jumped up and down, shouting.

"Is it my fault? Didn't you see she tried to kill herself? It scared the crap out of me so early in the morning, what bad luck!"

The pimps exchanged a glance, one of them dashing off to find Lady Yan, while the other, with a forced smile, pulled her to sit down and offered her a bowl of tea.

"Uncle Yu, don't panic. This girl isn't dead; she's still breathing. But..."

Yan Niangzi rushed over in a fit of rage.

"But you've ruined my perfectly good girl like this, Uncle Yu, you can't just leave her without an explanation, can you?"

Yu Wanran glanced at her disdainfully, then casually crossed her legs.

"Even if the government came, they could tell this girl was trying to kill herself! What, are you trying to bully me, an outsider, and then try to frame me? I don't want to buy this kind of troublesome girl who's always threatening to kill herself!"

"Who said I was going to sell it to you?"

The pimp was furious: "You've done this to him, you should at least offer some compensation, shouldn't you?"

Yan Niangzi walked to the bedside and looked at the messy bedding stained with a little bit of scarlet blood. She understood immediately and guessed that the girl must have been unable to bear losing her chastity, which was why she had made the difficult decision to commit suicide again.

Such fierce temperaments are not untamable. However, it requires a lot of effort and time, and is very troublesome.

She overheard their conversation and a thought struck her.

This person is half-dead, and treating their injuries would be a waste of money. Since they're worthless after losing their virginity anyway, it's better to just let this foolish guy surnamed Yu buy them. Otherwise, I'll end up losing both my money and my woman!

Having made up her mind, she stepped forward, brushed the small handkerchief onto Yu Wanran's shoulder, and giggled sweetly.

"Oh, Master Yu, why are you so angry? Didn't I say long ago that this girl has a fiery temper and hasn't been properly disciplined? Master Yu, it's fine for you to say it yourself... Hmm, is that your taste?"

Yu Wanran shuddered silently and quickly moved away from Yan Niangzi.

Mentioning last night again makes her feel like a complete freak! Saving Zhong Yeliu is going to be incredibly difficult.

"This man is about to die!"

She pretended to be impatient.

"Why don't you hurry up and find a doctor to see her? Why are you always dragging me along to say something?"

"A night of marriage brings a hundred nights of kindness."

Yan Niangzi covered her mouth and laughed.

"Look how anxious you are, Master Yu. You must have taken a liking to this girl, right? Since you like her, why don't I do you a favor and let you take her away? Taking her home and training her properly would be quite interesting, wouldn't it?"

Yu Wanran was stunned, lost in thought.

"Give it to me?"

He looked like he wasn't entirely indifferent to the possibility of giving it a second thought.

Yan Niangzi's face stiffened, and she nearly bit her lip. What kind of good thing are you thinking? Giving it to you for free? If I hadn't seen you as an easily fooled fat sheep, I would have already demanded compensation. Instead, I've been rambling on and on for so long!

"Uncle Yu really knows how to tell jokes!"

The beautiful woman patiently smiled and said, "Buying this girl cost me at least fifty taels of silver! How can I just give her away like that and leave me with nothing?"

Yu Wanran gestured with her lip toward the person lying stiffly and motionless on the bed.

"My lady, if you don't go find a doctor soon, you'll lose everything!"

Yan Niangzi's lips twitched.

"Uncle Yu, you really have no interest in this girl? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Men generally prefer gentle, obedient, and compliant girls. Frankly, there aren't many with truly perverse fetishes.

If the other party refuses to buy her, even though this brat is quite beautiful, she will have no choice but to resell her. Whether she can recoup her investment at that time is hard to say.

Yu Wanran observed the other person's expression without showing any emotion, and felt that it was about time; too much would be as bad as too little.

He feigned hesitation: "Fifty taels of silver...that's far too expensive! I can buy several young maids for ten taels of silver at the slave trader! And who knows how much it would cost to hire a doctor for her?"

Yan Niangzi was furious.

Comparing the girls in her garden to wild bastards outside?

On second thought, this guy is good for nothing except his face. He's untrained and doesn't know the rules, indeed...

She gritted her teeth: "I'll give you five taels of silver, take the girl with you, at least give this wretched girl a way out!"

"This……"

Yu Wanran hesitated: "Miss Yan, you should find a doctor first! This person is half-dead, even if I buy her, how am I supposed to take her away?"

Lady Yan surveyed Zhong Yeliu's barely conscious state and decided against treating him. Calling a doctor would only cost her a fortune!

Harden your heart.

"Thirty taels! Uncle Yu, if you have any compassion, take her away! Otherwise, we'll have to talk about how to compensate you for her death in your house."

Yu Wanran deliberately hesitated for a moment, then revealed a "you're ruthless" expression and slammed her hand heavily on the table.

"Alright! Bring me her indenture?"

Both sides harbored their own ulterior motives, suppressed their upturned lips, and quickly completed a transaction.

Yu Wanran wrapped Zhong Yeliu in a bed sheet, hoisted her onto her shoulder, and strode out of the brothel.

She can convincingly impersonate a man, thanks to her height, which is above average for women, and her fighting skills, which are extremely rare even for men. People who meet her never associate her with a weak woman.

Yu Wanran did not return to the inn, but went straight to the clinic.

Firstly, they feared that people from Liufang Garden might be secretly monitoring them; secondly, Zhong Yeliu was covered in injuries and indeed needed treatment.

The pimp sent by Lady Yan secretly followed Yu Wanran. Only after seeing her enter the clinic with Zhong Yeliu and not come out again did he report back to his master with peace of mind.

In their line of work, they've encountered plenty of people who feign madness to save others. If Yu Wanran wants to take advantage of Liufang Garden, she'll have to see if she's lucky enough to leave Pingyang City alive!

The nearby clinics probably frequently treated women like Zhong Yeliu who were covered in wounds, and there were female doctors who would help them into an inner room to bandage and treat their injuries.

Fortunately, the brothel only wanted to tame the girls under their command, not really intend to cripple them. Zhong Yeliu's body was covered in scars, which looked terrifying and she was indeed in unbearable pain, but in reality, she had not suffered any serious injuries.

Yu Wanran went to the market and spent two taels of silver to buy a two-wheeled carriage with a green canopy and blue silk, which she harnessed to her horse. The horse was carefully fed by the shopkeeper for a month and became plump and strong.

After two days when no one was paying attention, Yu Wanran took Zhong Yeliu and drove overnight to leave Pingyang City and return to Qingping Village.

The villagers were envious and suspicious of the Yu family's second branch's sudden wealth, which involved buying cattle, horses, and even a cart. Even Chen, the village head, tried to befriend Yu Manpan and subtly inquire about the Yu family's rise to prominence.

Yu Man insisted that it was the Duke's mansion that had rewarded his daughter with silver.

As for whether or not a reward was given, and how much it was, they probably wouldn't dare to inquire with the Duke's mansion. In any case, once the Duke's mansion is involved, even the most envious person can only look on with envy.

However, becoming a celebrity in the village has its troubles. No matter what I do when I go out, I'm always being subtly followed.

After discussing it with her family, Yu Wanran realized that delaying would only lead to more problems. Besides, with the increase in family members, living there would be inconvenient. Furthermore, although Zhong Yeliu was recovering from her injuries, her appearance would inevitably attract attention whenever she showed herself in public.

It's better to move to Huangshan County as soon as possible for peace of mind.
