The more cowardly a person is, the more wild they are; I've driven the villainous minister craz

Many shops in Huicheng County belong to the Cui family. In addition to the two large shops, Feibaolou and Huiyunfang, the best-selling cosmetics shop, Linglongge, also belongs to the Cui family.

However, Yu Wan did not go directly to Linglong Pavilion this time.

She first went to a few small shops to inquire about prices.

One of the vendors, seeing her simply dressed, glanced at her prescription and offered only two taels of silver per prescription.

This wasn't the first time Yu Wan had encountered merchants who treated people differently based on their status, so she left without looking back.

The owner of the other powder shop was a beautiful woman in her thirties. She carefully examined Yu Wan's recipe, but instead of directly quoting a price, she said to Yu Wan, "How about we try a different way of cooperating?"

Yu Wan became interested and said, "I'd like to hear the details."

The proprietress said, "These recipes look good, but firstly, you haven't made any samples, and secondly, even if you do make the products, we don't know if they'll be able to sell them."

"So, how about we sign a contract? I'll make the ingredients according to the recipe, and I'll be responsible for selling them. We'll split the profits 70/30, how about that?"

If it weren't for the urgent need for money, Yu Wan thought this method was pretty good.

But she urgently needs to raise money right now.

Yu Wan thought for a moment, but didn't rule out the possibility, and said with a smile, "Let me go back and think about it carefully."

The proprietress smiled and saw her out.

She visited several more shops, but none of the prices satisfied Yu Wan. After thinking about it, she finally decided to go to Linglong Pavilion.

Perhaps Linglong Pavilion also has a wealthy and powerful manager.

Linglong Pavilion was located in the East Market, which was a bit further away. Yu Wan walked for more than a quarter of an hour before she saw the sign for the East Market in the distance. She caught her breath and quickened her pace toward the East Market.

However, as she passed through a narrow alley, her steps faltered noticeably.

Someone was following her.

It was daytime, and there were quite a few people coming and going, but Yu Wan noticed that a few people were following her at a distance.

The first image that flashed through Yu Wan's mind was Wang Wanshu's face.

She took a deep breath, pretended not to have noticed anything, and continued forward as if nothing had happened.

As long as they get to the downtown area, no matter what Wang Wanshu wants to do to her, these people won't dare to do it in broad daylight.

However, just as Yu Wan was about to turn into the main street, two ragged men suddenly appeared from the corner.

The moment Yu Wan's eyes met those of the two men, alarm bells went off in her mind.

She quickly lowered her eyes, pretending to be nonchalant as she turned to take another path beside her, but she was still a step too late—

"Where are you going, girl?"

The two men stepped forward and blocked her way.

In an instant, Yu Wan recalled the tragic ending of the original character in the novel.

He reaped what he sowed and was casually thrown into a refugee camp by the male protagonist who came to rescue the female protagonist.

The book does not describe in detail how the original body was treated, but when the original body was discovered, there was not a single clean patch of skin on its body, and its hands and feet were twisted into abnormal arcs.

Just imagining this scene sent chills down Yu Wan's spine, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

If the female protagonist is indeed reborn, then she must hate the original body to death, and she might very well make her die a tragic death just like in her previous life.

Yu Wan trembled slightly with fear, but she dared not show it. Pretending to know nothing, she asked cautiously, "You... is there something you need?"

As she spoke, she subtly observed her surroundings, trying to save herself.

However, the people who were originally following behind her had also closed in, blocking all her escape routes.

Passersby noticed the unusual scene but, not wanting to cause trouble, kept their distance without saying a word.

Yu Wan's heart sank to the bottom.

The two men in front of her stared at her with unbridled eyes, one of them even blatantly scanning her body.

"This girl's figure is even better than the top courtesan at the brothel!"

The two men laughed lewdly, exchanged a glance, and moved closer to Yu Wan.

"Don't be afraid, girl. We don't intend to do anything to you. We just want you to experience what happiness is."

Yu Wan: "..."

These lines don't sound like nice words at all.

She had no choice but to back away until her back was pressed against the wall and she had nowhere left to retreat.

Yu Wan pressed herself tightly against the wall, watching the man approaching her warily, and suddenly spoke, "Wait a minute!"

The two men were startled by her, stopped in their tracks, and frowned at her. "What, you want us brothers to let you go?"

Meeting the two men's fierce and lewd gazes, Yu Wan didn't scream in fear. Instead, her eyes shone with anticipation as she asked happily, "Are you two really willing to play with me?"

The two men stared at her in shock.

Yu Wan seemed oblivious to their surprise, and lowered her head shyly, "To be honest, I'm already married, but I'm feeling a little unwell, and my husband has been unwilling to touch me for so many years..."

"I'm so happy that the two older brothers are willing to touch me now."

The two men frowned deeply.

"What do you mean?"

Yu Wan hesitated, glancing at them shyly. She exclaimed "Oh!" and urged, "It's nothing. Just do whatever you two want, I won't resist."

However, the more she acted this way, the less the two men dared to move.

One of them suddenly pulled out a dagger from his pocket, pointed it at Yu Wan, and said menacingly, "Tell me, what do you have on you?!"

Yu Wan turned deathly pale with fright and confessed the truth in terror, "I'm sick! I have a sexually transmitted disease. The doctor said it's contagious and can even kill people in severe cases... But don't worry, brothers, my illness isn't serious!"

Upon hearing this, the two men immediately took two large steps back in disgust.

One of them spat on the ground, "Pah, we finally found someone with a good figure, but she's sick."

The other person was skeptical. "Brother, could it be that she's deliberately trying to trick us?"

Yu Wan nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, I'm not sick, brothers, you can believe me!"

The other person silently stepped back.

Yu Wan saw this and breathed a sigh of relief without showing any emotion.

However, she breathed a sigh of relief too soon.

The two men opposite exchanged a glance and said regretfully, "We originally wanted to have some fun with this woman before she died, but now it seems we have no choice but to kill her."

killed……

Yu Wan was startled, and her whole body went cold and stiffened in an instant.

It turns out their goal wasn't to ruin her reputation, but to kill her!

"Hurry up and finish this." One of the men looked around. "Kill this woman and you'll get a hundred taels of gold. Once we have the money, we brothers won't have to worry about anything for the rest of our lives!"

The man with the dagger approached Yu Wan.

As the dagger drew ever closer, Yu Wan's mind went blank. She wanted to negotiate with these people, but only now did she realize that...

When a person is extremely afraid, they cannot make a sound.
