The beauty of the peasant girl of crossing

Chapter 278 Darkroom
Taoyao raised her eyes, as if the cold and gloomy gaze of ten thousand years was aimed at the merchant who sold slaves.

Her long and narrow eyes swept through the heavy shadows, with a hint of depth and gloom, and a touch of coldness like death.

The seller of slaves couldn't help but take a few steps back, but he didn't want to panic. He stepped on a raised road rubble under his feet and tripped and knocked his head on the ground. His injured arm also suffered, and it hurt him. Almost fainted.

Taoyao sneered and led people around him and left.

The trader who sold the slaves struggled to get up, opened his mouth and wailed:
"Someone! No reason! Grab it in broad daylight..."

Before he could say "human", a silver ingot flew towards him, just blocking his mouth.

"Bah bah bah..."

He didn't mention it in one breath, almost choked to death, and quickly spit out the silver ingot in his mouth.

After wiping off the saliva on it, he found that the silver ingot was worth 20 taels, and he immediately smiled:

"A silver ingot, plus a pearl hairpin, this deal is a big profit..."

……

After Yan Fengzhu got on the carriage, Taoyao ordered someone to treat her wound.

She had thought wrong before, and wanted her to die.

But after getting involved in the murky waters of the capital, she realized that keeping Yan Fengzhu's life would be of great use in the future.

The two maids wiped the blood on Yan Fengzhu's body with a towel, and sprinkled a good gold sore medicine on her.

Not only did Yan Fengzhu have whiplashes on her body, but the slave traders also tied her feet with iron chains like a dog, and the heavy iron cuffs tore her feet.

The medicinal powder was scattered on the wound, and it looked painful, and the wound had become inflamed and swollen if it had not been treated for a long time.

But she was very calm the whole process, just holding the clay figurine in her arms and muttering to herself, as if she didn't feel any pain.

The carriage passed by a well-known dim sum shop, and the fragrance wafted all over the street.

Taoyao glanced at Yan Fengzhu in the carriage, stopped the carriage, and whispered to the maid beside her:
"You go to the snack shop next to you to buy some freshly baked pastries. Don't forget, you must buy a pack of red bean and chestnut cakes."

The maid agreed and went out, and soon came back with a lot of snacks, including donkey rolls, pea yellow, kidney bean rolls, chestnut cakes, flower cakes, walnut cakes...

Taoyao took the oil paper bags from the maid's hand and opened them one by one. The cakes were fragrant and steamy. She pushed them all in front of Yan Fengzhu:

"Eat, you are suffering these days."

Yan Fengzhu had already smelled the aroma of the dim sum, and took the dim sum directly into her arms. She took a rough look, but picked up the red bean and chestnut cake and stuffed it into her mouth.

Taoyao saw it, her eyes darkened, and she smiled at Yan Fengzhu:
"Although you love chestnut cakes the most, there are many delicious ones."

When he was done, he stared at her.

Yan Fengzhu originally ate it piece by piece, happily, until she inadvertently raised her head and saw Taoyao looking at her.

She seemed to understand something, with a tangled look on her face, and after a while, she broke off a chestnut cake and handed it to Taoyao.

Taoyao was stunned for a moment, then chuckled lightly, "Forget it, eat as much as you like, it's all yours."

Just now, countless speculations arose in her mind. After all, it was too coincidental for Yan Fengzhu to appear so suddenly. It was hard for her not to suspect that someone pretended to be Yan Fengzhu to approach her on purpose.

Looking at it now, it's just that she's over-hearted.

Yan Fengzhu got her response and swallowed the chestnut cake in a big mouth.

Taoyao lifted the curtains of the car and glanced out, then turned her head and instructed the maid, "Tell the driver to turn around and go back to the princess' mansion."

***
By the time Li Yeyu arrived with the people, the building was already empty, the slave market had returned to its former calm, and even the merchants who sold slaves had left with the remaining slaves.

"People are gone, what should I do?"

Li Yelan, who came with him, pushed the captured two strong men to the ground and controlled them in a corner.

Earlier, the wife received news from Qingfenglou in the mansion. They found clues. The mad woman hid in a passing ox cart and left, and was later found in the back alley of Yanchunfang.

After finding out that the mad woman was captured by two street gangsters, their brothers and sisters took people out of the house to look for someone, only when they found the two gangsters, did they know that they had sold the mad woman.

They had to capture these two gangsters first and escort them to ask for someone, but they didn't want to be a step too late.

Li Yeyu's face was ugly, and he kicked the two strong men directly:

"Didn't you say that the slave trader would only leave when it was dark? Why did he disappear so quickly? Dare to play tricks in front of me, do you want to reincarnate earlier?"

"How dare we lie to auntie, everything we say is true!"

The two strong men grimaced in pain, but they shrank to one side in fear and did not dare to move.

The woman in front of her is a fierce girl and a dangerous person. They only saw her weak and flirtatious before, and they were frivolous and rude to her, and they were beaten until they were so bruised.

"Then Yuto comes every half a month, and he doesn't go back until sunset every time. Something must have happened today that made him leave so early..."

Seeing that they didn't look like they were lying, Li Yeyu turned to Li Yelan and said:
"Brother, take them back to the manor first and let the general and the lady decide. I'll stay and ask someone. Since the mad woman has been here, there will always be people who have seen her."

"Okay, then be careful yourself."

Li Yelan nodded at her and took the person away.

Li Yeyu looked left and right, raised her feet and moved closer to the crowded place.

***
With a cool breeze, the bamboo leaves in the courtyard were blown down by the wind and fell to the ground, making a rustling sound with the wind.

In the dark room of the princess' mansion, only two dim candles were lit, the light beating brightly and darkly.

Taoyao combed Yan Fengzhu's hair in front of the bronze mirror, brushing the jade comb in her hand.

The person in the bronze mirror has black jade-like hair with a faint luster, and the skin on the neck is as delicate as beautiful porcelain, but the face is extremely ugly, dark and wrinkled.

Under the refraction of the candlelight along the bronze mirror, the eyes on it look like two black holes, which makes people look horrified, even more terrible than a man-eating ghost.

If this scene were seen by others, their scalps would be numb with horror, but at this time, both of them were calm, one was combing their hair intently, and the other was stroking the gold necklace on their necks with both hands.

"His Royal Highness's long hair is thick and dark, the texture is soft like water grass, and it feels extremely smooth."

Taoyao held a jade comb in her hand, and glanced at Yan Fengzhu with a deep meaning:

"I remember when Your Highness used to look in the mirror, I was always screaming in fear, but now I'm not afraid anymore."

After a long while, Taoyao combed Yan Fengzhu's hair into a delicate bun, opened the jewelry box full of gold glittering jewelry with one hand, took out a precious gold-encrusted jade double butterfly, and inserted it into the combed hair bun. , asks:
"Your Highness, do you look good?"

Yan Fengzhu looked up and smiled, reached out and scratched in the jewelry box, grabbed two hairpins, put them in her mouth and licked them, but her tongue was quickly pierced, and she threw them back unhappy. He bowed his head and played with the gold Yingluo around his neck.

Seeing her crazy appearance, Taoyao's expression did not change in the slightest, she picked up the white curtain hat on the table and turned to leave the dark room...
