Daybreak hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she still put it away and casually placed it on the side of the pillow. Perhaps it was because she had fiercely cried, but at this time, she felt physically and mentally exhausted. Closing her eyes, she quickly fell into dreamland, but her sleep was not stable. Her closed eyelids trembled slightly and her eyelashes were slightly moist. Looking at her, one could not help but feel pity for her.
Qing Zhu wrung out a handkerchief and wiped her face. Sitting on the side of her bed, she quietly watched her for a moment.
Sighing in her heart, Hongyan's life was full of misfortune. Soon after, a smile appeared on her face. Thinking that in the future, it would not be like this. Wangfei was the best Mistress, generous and benevolent. As long as they did not have any thoughts that they should not have and obediently did what they should do, their lives would not be bad.
After Daybreak, it gradually calmed down. It was probably because her heart had calmed down and was ready to welcome a new life.
Daybreak slept for more than two shichen (1 shichen = 2 hours). After waking up, her spirit looked a lot better and the feeling that she gave people also changed a little. She seemed to not be so indifferent and had some vitality, as if her dead heart had started to beat again.
However, it was not strange to have this kind of change. Leaving that kind of place was equivalent to jumping out of the fire pit. She also did not enter the inner residence as a concubine, so she did not have to worry about the chaos of fighting between wives and concubines. Being well-behaved, she could always live a comfortable and stable life.
Daybreak turned her head and saw that the box beside the pillow was motionless. It could be seen that during the time she was asleep, no one had reached out their hand. Although she did not know the specific amount inside, but with the face value of ten thousand taels per piece, there were at least several hundred thousand taels in the box. As the saying goes, wealth moves people's hearts. As a servant of Jin Wangfu, they could not be moved by so much money. Were they as rich as their Mistress and did not even have the slightest curiosity? Definitely not. It could only mean that their temperament was good.
Daybreak slowly smiled. It seemed that the pain on her body had lessened a lot. Although it was still painful, her heart felt comfortable. Her action was not deliberately to test anything. Daybreak was also a person who did not care much about money, so she just casually let it go. Then, she unexpectedly got this kind of result.
They had stayed in Chuanzhou Fu for a long time. According to the plan, they would leave in the next few days and head to the next fu city. As for Baishao and Daybreak, they would either stay in Chuanzhou Fu to recuperate or go with them. After all, when Jingwan and the others left, they could also stay on the boat.
Taking advantage of the two or three days left, they could recuperate more. At that time, it was up to them whether they left or not.
Naturally, Gong Jiu was still busy making the Elixir of Youth. From the first batch of medicine, he knew that this prescription was not fake. It was indeed that ancient prescription. Moreover, after carefully studying the medicine in it, he was 100% sure that it would hinder fertility. Moreover, as long as one took ten pills, it would take at least ten years of recuperation to conceive a child. Moreover, the damage caused by this medicine could not be seen under normal circumstances. After careful consideration, Gong Jiu made some slight changes to the prescription. Originally, there were ten pills. Five pills would take ten or twenty years of recuperation, and it had to be done properly. In this way, one hundred people could save nearly half of the medicinal herbs. It also saved time and effort. Why not?
During this period, Li Hongyuan met two people. One was Iron Salt Head, and the other was Su Ting.
It was unknown whether it was intentional or not, but the two of them met together.
Iron Salt Head's injuries hadn't healed yet. His body was still as fat as a pig's. However, the Maitreya Buddha's smile on his face had disappeared. Only after seeing Li Hongyuan did the evil aura around his body lessen a little. He, Iron Salt Head, had followed his father to run the business when he was a little over ten years old. At that time, he was just a small merchant. After suffering enough, he also learned to be "obedient". After thirty-four years, he thought that he had the means and shrewdness. But he did not expect that in the end, he would fall into the hands of a woman.
Of course, when he did not know for the time being, this woman naturally referred to Baishao. After that …
Li Hongyuan wanted to deal with Iron Salt Head, and was preparing to uproot his power and family. As such, naturally, he would not make a big fuss. After all, Jiangnan was so big. Moreover, Iron Salt Head was said to be the number one salt merchant in Jiangnan, but the scope of his business was not just Jiangnan. If the power behind him was alerted, those people might escape. Without a doubt, they would also take away a large amount of money. Li Hongyuan did not lack money, but he would not complain about having too much money. After all, if he really sat on the throne, there would be too many places to spend money.
Therefore, when Iron Salt Head was brought over, he had not yet become a prisoner.
Because Iron Salt Head was carried in, Li Hongyuan did not force him to stand up and salute.
Li Hongyuan sat on the main seat, sipping his tea a little absent-mindedly. Then, he placed the teacup on the table, making a slight sound. His gaze did not look at Iron Salt Head at all, but fell on the kneeling Su Ting. However, that gaze was like the baptism of the four gods. Even if Su Ting lowered her head, she would definitely feel as if there was a blade at her back, and she could not help but tremble.
Li Hongyuan supported his chin with one hand. "To scheme against this prince, your courage is not small."
If there was a bit of luck before, Su Ting would already be trembling like a sieve at this moment. She knew that she wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone, and it was actually a dangerous move. However, she really could not stand Iron Salt Head's torment. The injuries on her body had never healed, and because of her "hard bones", she gritted her teeth and endured it again and again, arousing Iron Salt Head's interest. Su Ting really could not stand it anymore, but she also did not have the guts to resist. Towards Iron Salt Head, she feared and hated him even more. She wanted to break away from his control, but also wanted to ruthlessly retaliate.
Iron Salt Head had designs on Sister Hei, but Sister Hei was someone who served Jin Qinwang, so Iron Salt Head would not lose his mind. She set her sights on Bai Shao, who had the same face as Sister Hei. In any case, Iron Salt Head had never seen Bai Shao before. Of course, if she wanted to escape, she would not stupidly send herself into Iron Salt Head's hands. In order to cover up Bai Shao's identity, not only did she take the things that represented her identity, she also fed her a mute medicine that could make people temporarily speechless. Even if she could endure Iron Salt Head's abuse, she also had a way to make Bai Shao lose her life quickly. Everything had been arranged, but she did not expect that Bai Shao was a martial arts expert.
As long as Bai Shao came back alive, Su Ting would definitely not be able to escape.
Iron Salt Head was still confused and did not understand what Li Hongyuan meant. He looked at Li Hongyuan with puzzled eyes.
Li Hongyuan did not pay attention to him, but Mu Gonggong sneered, "The one who hurt you, a commoner, is Wangfei niangniang's personal maid. She was schemed against by the woman beside you and fell into your hands. Wangfei niangniang has always been very protective of the people around her. She was injured like that and almost lost her life, Wangfei niangniang is very angry."
Iron Salt Head originally thought that he would find the slut who hurt him. If he did not skin her alive, he would not be able to dispel the hatred in his heart. Now, how could he still not understand? Looking at Su Ting, his eyes were as wide as copper bells. He really fell into the hands of a woman, but he missed one. This was the main culprit. His fat body suddenly rolled over, and the pain in his body seemed to have disappeared. He rushed over and clutched Su Ting's neck tightly, "Slut, slut, slut …"
Su Ting's eyes rolled to the back of her head. She tried her best to pry Iron Salt's hand away. However, the strength of a person who had reached the pinnacle of hatred was no small matter. Su Ting's face turned pale and the strength of her struggle became weaker and weaker. It looked like she was only left with one breath.
However, how could Li Hongyuan let her die so easily? With just a look, An Yi came forward and touched Iron Salt Head's arm gently. Iron Salt Head let go of her. Su Ting collapsed to the ground. She took a breath and covered her neck with her hands, coughing violently. The feeling of dying was definitely not good. Su Ting only felt that she had survived a disaster.
"Give her mute medicine and send her to the Pavilion Boat. Tell the owner of the boat not to treat her unfairly. Also, she can't leave the Pavilion Boat without redeeming her."
Li Hongyuan's words completely determined Su Ting's future fate.
Su Ting, who had not yet recovered, narrowed her eyes, "Wang, Wang Ye …" The pain in her throat made her unable to speak clearly.
She couldn't say the rest of her words. Her mouth was gagged and she was dragged out.
Li Hongyuan's gaze fell on Iron Salt Head. His gaze was similar to how he looked at Su Ting.
Iron Salt Head trembled and hurriedly knelt down, "Wang Ye, Wang Ye, this commoner really didn't know about this matter. If this commoner knew, even if you gave this commoner a hundred guts, this commoner would never dare to covet Wang Ye's woman. Wang Ye, please calm your anger, please calm your anger …"
"Just saying that you didn't know, just saying calm your anger is enough?"
Li Hongyuan's tone was indifferent, but Iron Salt Head was sweating profusely. He was originally fat, so he sweated a lot. In a short time, his clothes were completely soaked, as if he was fished out of the water. He hurriedly turned his body to the back. The person who followed him, who looked like a housekeeper, hurriedly handed over the box in his arms. Iron Salt Head received it and respectfully raised it above his head, "An insignificant gift to apologize to Wang Ye and Wang Fei."
"An apology gift has been prepared, and you still say that you didn't know?"
This was clearly picking a bone, but Jin Qinwang now held Iron Salt Head's life and death, so Iron Salt Head didn't dare to refute a single word. "Wrong, wrong, this commoner was confused. This is a small profit to show filial respect to Wang Ye. Wang Ye, please kindly accept it. When you return, immediately prepare another gift to apologize to Wang Ye. Wang Ye, please kindly accept it. "
Li Hongyuan raised his chin. Mu Gonggong understood and took the box. Opening it, he presented it to Li Hongyuan for a look.
"From the looks of it, there are several million taels in banknotes, and this is still an insignificant gift. Ben Wang is rather curious, what will be the generous gift that you all gave." A mere merchant had more than 20 million taels of wealth. Of course, this was just gold and silver. How could such a person not think of ways to plunder all kinds of rare treasures? This part was really hard to estimate. Therefore, this Iron Salt Head's net worth was really frightening.
"Wang Ye will not be disappointed, Wang Ye will not be disappointed."
Today, he was called by Jin Qinwang. He thought that there was an answer to his previous visit, so even if his injury wasn't healed, he still forced himself to come.
The five million taels in banknotes was originally a filial gift to make friends. He also knew that if the first gift was too much, it would only make the other party's appetite grow bigger and bigger. Perhaps in the future, the other party would reach out and ask for money from time to time, becoming more and more accustomed to it. However, he himself also knew that the only capital he held in his hands was money. Other connections, in the eyes of a Wang Ye, were nothing. Therefore, if he wanted to climb this high branch, he had to let the other party see his value. Clenching his teeth, he took out ten million taels in one go, and the result …
But now, the nature was completely different. It was money to buy his life!
"See the guest out."
Iron Salt Head didn't dare to say anything and could only respectfully withdraw. After he went out, he almost fell head first.
In his life, Iron Salt Head had never suffered such a big loss. However, after suffering this loss, he didn't have the slightest thought of revenge. When he thought of Su Ting who had harmed him to this extent, he hated her so much that he vomited blood. However, it was impossible to redeem her. Even bringing her out of the pavilion boat for one or two days was not possible. Now, he couldn't personally deal with her, but he could call someone to do it.
— — Slut, if I don't make you beg for life and death, Laozi wouldn't be called Iron Salt Head.
Inside the room, Li Hongyuan's banknotes lacked interest, "Squeeze people dry and send them to be salt slaves."
So, to Li Hongyuan, this black-hearted and black-bellied person, apologizing would be enough? Wishful thinking! Moreover, he didn't even verbally promise. If it wasn't to save trouble, Iron Salt Head wouldn't even have time to recuperate.
And this filial piety became Jingwan's private property.
Jingwan felt that ever since she married, no, ever since she was engaged to a certain person, she had become numb to things like gold, silver, and treasures. Especially on this trip to Jiangnan, not to mention counting money until her hands cramped, looking at these things was like looking at a pile of waste paper. She felt that she had almost lost the concept of money. It was just a number.
Jingwan felt that she needed to find something to balance it out. After thinking about it, she got it. In the last feudal dynasty in her previous life, the Empress Dowager, who was at the end of the country and family, spent forty thousand taels of silver a day. She spent ten million taels of silver on her birthday.
In comparison, she only received a little more and didn't squander. En, it was balanced.
And the owner of the pavilion boat, Auntie Mei, took over Su Ting and said that she would definitely follow the prince's instructions.
At this point, Su Ting, who was good at singing and dancing, had unparalleled talent, and was beautiful to a certain extent, not inferior to Daybreak, became the lowest prostitute on the pavilion boat. As long as one could step through the door of the pavilion boat, they could casually ask for her with a bit of money. Throughout the day and night, except for that little bit of rest time, she wouldn't lack all kinds of men by her side. Moreover, Auntie Mei also forbade her from showing off her talent. Every time she found out, she would be beaten to death.
These days would accompany Su Ting until she died. Whether she died on the bed or really couldn't take it anymore and committed suicide. However, Auntie Mei was a kind person. She gave the only bit of kindness she had to Daybreak. Wanting to die under her hands was not a simple matter.
After two days, Gong Jiu's Ageless Pills were all prepared. Li Hongyuan did as he said and directly sent people to deliver it to the Pei Family's Chuanzhou residence.
Eunuch Mu personally brought a few people and handed the things to the head of the family with a smile. Then, he warmly greeted the Pei Family's Madam and the few ladies.
That Pei Family's people didn't dare to be negligent and respectfully answered one by one.
"The old lady is awake? That's the best. We can bring the Ageless Pills back to the Pei Family's main residence. " As Eunuch Mu said this, he clicked his tongue in wonder. This old lady's life was really tough. Gong Jiu had already told her to prepare for her funeral, but she still stubbornly held on and even woke up.
Facing Eunuch Mu, the head of the family broke out in a cold sweat.
"I'll have to trouble old mister to take care of those ladies." He seemed to be referring to the boxes containing the Ageless Pills. Tsk, the Ageless Pills. Although it was harmful, for some people, it was also a great temptation. "Goodbye."
After sending Eunuch Mu off, the head of the family stood in place for a long time. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and personally looked at the boxes and had people move them to the main courtyard.
When his wife saw these things and knew what they were, she couldn't help but tremble. "Master, are these really going to be sent back to the main residence?"
"Of course, but it has nothing to do with us. Go and take out six bottles now and send them to the six ladies. "
The old lady was startled. Her lips wriggled, but in the end, she didn't say anything. It wasn't like she hadn't done this kind of immoral thing before. She had even killed an unborn child, not to mention that she hadn't killed anyone yet. Moreover, she was afraid that she had no choice but to do this. If she didn't do it, the Ageless Pills might be used on her own descendants.
"Outsiders" could never be more important than family.
The old lady led a group of maidservants and women to the small courtyard where the Pei Family's ladies were locked up.
