Chapter 1977: On the way to escape famine, the kid I picked up became the emperor 24
The servants were originally looking at the woman in front of them with smugness on their faces, as if they had already seen the silver that was about to come into their hands.
However, when they saw that Cheng Rui actually wanted to escape, the smiles on their faces froze instantly, and were replaced by a gloomy look.
These people are used to abusing their power on a daily basis, so how could they tolerate letting the fat meat in their mouths slip away like this?
So, almost in the next moment, the servants pounced towards Cheng Rui in unison, with their fangs and claws bared, as if they couldn't wait to capture her.
It happened in a flash. Just when the servants were about to catch Cheng Rui, Yun Qian, who had been standing by and watching coldly, suddenly moved.
She suddenly appeared in front of the servants as fast as a ghost.
Immediately afterwards, a few crisp slapping sounds were heard, and those aggressive servants flew backwards like kites with broken strings, and fell heavily to the ground, uttering painful howls.
Such a big commotion here naturally couldn't fail to attract the attention of other people in the building.
Not long after, the madam, who had just returned to the building, walked out again with a 'swaying' step.
At this moment, the smile on her face was no longer there, and was replaced by full of displeasure and anger.
She stared at Yun Qian with her inverted triangle eyes, and her deep eyes flashed with undisguised impatience. She said in a harsh voice: "What on earth do you want to do? Don't you know where this is? How dare you act wild here!"
Faced with the madam's questioning, Yun Qian remained unmoved.
She just threw the boy in her hand aside like throwing away garbage.
Then, she raised her head, stared coldly at the madam, and said slowly and expressionlessly, "I heard that my daughter was sold to your building. Is that true?"
Hearing Yun Qian's words, the madam was stunned at first, and then she began to look up and down at the seemingly ordinary old woman in front of her.
After a moment, she raised the corner of her mouth slightly, raised one eyebrow, and responded in a slow, sarcastic tone: "Oh? So you are the mother of this little girl..."
As she spoke, she shook the handkerchief in her hand, raised the corner of her mouth, and continued, "Your daughter was sold to me by your son. The money has been paid, and I have already paid the money. Now you want to take her back? Unless you return the money, you can't take her away."
Yun Qian's expression remained unchanged as he asked, "How much silver?"
"A full twenty taels."
"Wow--"
Yun Qian took out a cloth bag from somewhere and poured out the silver ingots inside.
The madam stared straight at the pile of silver in front of her, and was stunned for a moment.
She glanced at Yun Qian who was standing in front of her with suspicion, as if she was quite surprised by the sudden appearance of money.
But after a slight hesitation, the madam stretched out her nail-painted hands and took the silver personally.
Then, she slowly took out a scroll with black words written on it from her arms. It was Cheng Rui's indenture.
The madam handed the indenture contract to Yun Qian and said nonchalantly, "Since you have the money, I won't make it difficult for you. Here, this is the indenture contract of the little girl, take it!"
Yun Qian grabbed the indenture contract without saying a word, and pulled it hard without hesitation. The thin piece of paper instantly turned into pieces and fell to the ground.
Then, with a gloomy face, she turned around and left without looking back, leading the brother and sister behind her.
Along the way, the three of them remained silent and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
Even after walking out of the town and away from the noisy place, Yun Qian's face was still as dark and gloomy as a cloud.
Finally, we found Fuguier who was taking care of the child.
Yun Qian first signaled to Boss Cheng to put away the items he was carrying, then slowly turned around and stared at the brother and sister in front of him with cold eyes.
She took a deep breath and spoke in a very concise and clear tone without any room for maneuver: "I'm sure you all saw what the second brother did just now. I will never want someone like him to be my son again, as he does things worse than animals. From now on, he will have nothing to do with our family, and you should completely recognize his true colors..."
Hearing this, the brother and sister were silent.
After Yun Qian finished speaking, Boss Cheng finally spoke, with a look of disappointment on his face, "Mom, we got it. From now on... I will just pretend that I don't have this brother!"
Cheng Rui on the side was wiping her tears and gritting her teeth, so she didn't say anything.
Yun Qian glanced at her, thought for a moment, and said, "We won't go to the south."
"What?" They were both stunned.
Yun Qian continued, "Let's go to the capital..."
"Mom, what are we going to do in the capital?"
Yun Qian started to talk nonsense seriously, "The whole world belongs to the king. It's safer to go to the capital than to go to the south. Maybe mother can help you make a name for yourself..."
After hearing this, the two were silent for a moment, but in the end they did not say anything to attack their mother and agreed to go to the capital.
