2680 Consequence
Qiao Yingchun instantly got a bit agitated, and she struggled to yell, “Old Man Li, I see that you’re just scared.”
After saying this, he grabbed Qiao Yingchun by the collar and picked her up like a chick. He then turned around and ran toward Entertainment Lane.
They absolutely could not get involved in this matter, or else there would be endless hassle.
None of this b*tch’s words were true. She said that she could make decisions for her younger sister.
Don’t be kidding him. The carriage had come out from the Mu Clan. What the hell did the young lady of a great patrician family have to do with her?
She could even make decisions for the young lady, ha ha.
Qiao Yingchun struggled as she cried out, “Old Man Li, you must believe me. That girl in the carriage just now is indeed my younger sister…”
*Slap!* A slap on Qiao Yingchun’s mouth stopped her from talking. Old Man Li viciously carried her back to Entertainment Lane and threw her in front of the middle-aged but still attractive Mum Yi.
As expected, Mom Yi was silent for a long time after Old Man informed her of what had happened. Afterwards, she told Old Man Li, “Throw her into the brothel. I don’t want to see this woman again in the future.”
“Yes.” The old geezer cupped his hands and picked up the struggling Qiao Yingchun again.
Qiao Yingchun screeched in panic, “No, don’t! Mum Yi, Sis Mum Yi, I-I really didn’t lie to you! I!”
Mum Yi picked up a cup of tea and looked at Qiao Yingchun coldly. “You’re treating everyone like fools.”
She had originally thought that the girl that Qiao Yingchun wanted to sell was just like her, a country girl without any prominent background.
Yet who knew that…
The girl actually came from the Mu Clan.
They could not casually touch any girl, even if she was a maidservant, who could come out from the Mu Clan. This was to avoid attracting trouble for no reason.
Mum Yi subconsciously rubbed the black mole at the corner of her mouth. She swept an indifferent glance at Qiao Yingchun, who was still screaming after getting dragged away. She harrumphed, “Little girl, you still want to trick me into falling for your trap? Delusional.”
Old Man Li grabbed Qiao Yingchun’s hair and threw her into a carriage. He told the muscular man driving the carriage, “Send this woman to the brothel. The procuress will know what to do.”
“Alrighty.”
“No, I’m not going. I’m not going to that whatever brothel.” Qiao Yingchun screamed and pounded the carriage, wanting to climb out.
The carriage driver whipped this missy inside. With a shout, he drove the carriage away from Entertainment Lane toward the neighboring pleasure district…
At this time, she was sitting inside the carriage and holding a jar of dried fruit as she grumbled, “We made a big detour to the icebound snow territory before finally getting to the capital. I didn’t expect Zou Huan, Qi Hua, and them to only be arriving the day after tomorrow. Such slow progress.”
“Humph.” The little lady harrumphed noncommittally. She felt defiant when she thought of Seventh Yan’s unadorable face.
“Where have Wang Yan and them settled down?”
“I had them stay at an inn for the time being. I plan to arrange a house for them to live with Zou Huan and the others when they’ve all arrived.”
Lady Qiaoqiao produced a rosewood box and pulled out one of the deeds. She patted it and said, “Don’t we already have one readily available? No need to buy! We just so happen to be passing by, so let’s go check out this place on Huaqi Street in the southern district.”
