Chapter 1409 Rules
“Did you see Wu Yuhuan’s body?” Jiang Cheng asked: “What does the body look like?”
Hearing this, the man’s face became embarrassed, but he quickly returned to normal. "No, everyone is dead. What's so interesting about corpses? But the Hou Mansion People are so stingy. When someone dies in the Marquis Mansion, it doesn't matter if they don't pay any funeral expenses, but even the grave is empty. This loser deserves to be poor in his next life," the man spat on the ground. The lightness seemed not to be talking about his own daughter, but a stranger whom he had never met before.
After hearing this, the fat man's blood pressure rose, "She is your daughter, and everyone is dead. You still talk about her like this. Do you have any conscience?"
The man curled his lips, He didn't take it seriously, "What is conscience? Can it be used as food or money? Besides, she is my daughter. I can do whatever I want. Do you have anything else? If nothing happens, leave quickly!"
Jiang Cheng stopped the fat man who was about to beat him and glanced at one of the thatched houses. There were several women's clothes hanging on the rack outside the room. "I want to talk to your daughter. Is Wu Yujiao here?"
The man instantly showed a businessman's face, grinning with yellow teeth, "My daughter is a yellow flower girl, how can I meet you like this?" If word spreads about such a strange man..."
Jiang Cheng took out a few broken pieces of silver from his clothes and spread them out in his palm, "I'll go in and say a few words to her, and then I'll leave. I'm not interested in anything else. These... should be enough."
When he saw the silver, the man immediately grabbed it and counted it. Head, "Enough, enough, I'm warning you. Hurry up. I'll keep an eye on the door for you. If someone finds out that a man has entered my daughter's door, if this word gets out, it won't be sold at a high price." "
Pulling the angry fat man, Jiang Cheng lifted the curtain and was the first to walk in. The lighting in the room was relatively poor. Before Jiang Cheng could Cheng's eyes adapted to the darkness, and suddenly a cold light shot towards him. Jiang Cheng subconsciously dodged to avoid it, but suddenly, the sharp blade still cut through his clothes, and also cut through the skin inside. Jiang Cheng took advantage of the situation and held it with his right hand. The sneak attacker pulled his wrist outward hard, making the opponent unable to stand. Then he clenched his left fist and punched the opponent in the face.
But in an instant, he saw the face of the attacker clearly. It was a very young girl, about 16 or 7 years old. She looked very clean, and her face with faint tear stains was full of despair. She was used for sneak attacks. His murder weapon was nothing more than a pair of sharpened black iron scissors. Jiang Cheng couldn't hold back enough, so he had to twist his body. His fist was finally empty, but he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
The girl just thought that the sky had eyes, raised the scissors in her hand and stabbed Jiang Cheng. Fortunately, the fat man reacted quickly and rushed in and snatched the scissors, "Don't get me wrong, we don't mean any harm! "
The girl was heartbroken. When she saw the first disciple just getting up, she felt cruel and raised her hand to grab Jiang Cheng's face.
A minute later, Jiang Cheng and the fat man, who had scratches on their faces, sat side by side, while a girl named Wu Yujiao sat across from them with an apologetic face. The pair of black iron scissors was thrown on the ground between them. .
"I'm sorry, I didn't... didn't hurt you, right?" Wu Yujiao looked at Jiang Cheng's face, embarrassed to say.
"How about I scratch your face, and then stab you with the scissors, do you want to try it?" Since Jiang Cheng can remember, when has he ever suffered such a big loss? Those people who tricked him have already made him a fool. There are no more left.
Hearing what Jiang Cheng said, Wu Yujiao lowered her head in shame and explained in a small voice: "I'm sorry, I heard that dad brought you here. I thought you were from the casino. Those people came to collect debts, the last time they came I just said that if you don’t pay back your gambling debt, you will use me to pay off the debt.”
Wu Yujiao rolled up her sleeves, and her exposed forearm was covered with bruises and scars. She felt that Jiang Cheng was staring at her. Looking at it, she hurriedly rolled down her sleeves to cover them up.
“Your father beat you?” Jiang Cheng frowned.
“Yes.” Wu Yujiao nodded lightly, “He asked me to come and weave fabrics for others, but I refused. I knew he was lying to me. Those people were not serious people. I always avoid my face when I’m doing it, because if it hurts my face, I won’t be able to sell it for a good price.”
Jiang Cheng also understands Wu Yujiao's situation, but he has more important things now, "We came here today to find out something from you. Wu Yuhuan is your sister. She was sold to the Zhennan Hou Mansion. Do you know about this? ”
“I know, It was my father who did it." Wu Yujiao's eyes dimmed, "And...and she was already dead. She died in the Zhennan Marquis Mansion just the year before."
"Your sister was in Zhennan. Do you know the situation inside Nanhou Mansion? "
Jiang Cheng just asked casually, but to his surprise, Wu Yujiao nodded and said in a very cautious voice: "You know, my sister once asked someone to bring me a message, saying that she I have good food and clothing in the Hou Mansion. Let me He Niang, don’t worry, it’s just that there are more rules in the Hou Mansion.”
“A wealthy family like Zhennan Hou Mansion naturally has more rules. Isn’t this strange?” Jiang Cheng pretended. He didn't take it seriously, but he was still observing Wu Yujiao.
Wu Yujiao shook her head, "No, you have misunderstood me. It is normal for a house like the Hou Mansion to have many rules, but most of the rules in the Hou Mansion are very strange. For example, you cannot go to the backyard. If you hear someone knocking on the door at night, you must ask. Who is it? Also, no matter how wronged you are, you can’t cry late at night..."
"Also, I My sister said that the atmosphere in the Hou Mansion is very strange, and the Marquis... He is a very mysterious person. It has been several months since he entered the Marquis Mansion, and she has never seen him before. "
Slow. Slowly, Wu Yujiao became excited, "It wasn't until the last time that she asked someone to take a letter for export. This time it was written. She wrote a note, and the handwriting on the note was very... It’s messy, but I can recognize my sister’s calligraphy. She said she saw Mr. Hou and warned me not to go to the Hou’s Mansion. Even if I was sold to a worse place, I would never be sold to the Hou’s Mansion!”
"By the way, there are blood stains on the note... There are blood stains on the note, at the corner, as if it was accidentally splashed on it. At that time, I suspected that my sister had been injured. It was hurt, and not long after I received the letter, my sister...sister died!"
"She died so miserably, she...she was killed! Being a person in the Hou Mansion, I understand my sister’s character. She is not a competitive person, and she will never make enemies with others.”
"How do you know she died miserably?" Jiang Cheng looked at Wu Yujiao who was crying and asked the most critical question, "Have you seen her body?" (End of Chapter)
