Husband has a sweetheart

Chapter 5 The Gears of Destiny

Zhang Yuqing stood up and looked condescendingly at the huddled Wang couple, "I'll give you 30 taels of silver. From now on, Wang Chunniang and I have nothing to do with you!"

Father Wang suddenly realized and was furious, "I said I tied it so tightly with rope, how could you run away! It turned out that Chunniang's little hoof let you out!"

"What do you want Chun Niang to do? She's already married and belongs to someone else's family!" The Queen Mother asked in shock.

Zhang Yuqing stretched out her finger, raised it on the bright red lips, and softly hissed, "Don't talk so much nonsense, I don't like to hear it. What to do is your business, I just take people away."

"But 30 taels is too little, I can't ask for someone from Mrs. Chun's family!" Father Wang said with a smile.

Zhang Yuqing sighed, feeling a little distressed, "It can't be done..."

"It can't be done! You can ask those rich people to give me more silver! From now on, you will follow your own way, and we will not violate the water of the river!" Father Wang said hastily.

Zhang Yuqing got up and looked at him with a smile, "I'll go and talk to those rich people about what happened back then, and see if they would like to give me more money for the sake of my family's ruin."

"Come back, come back!" Father Wang threw himself on the ground in horror, holding Zhang Yuqing's skirt tightly.

Zhang Yuqing looked determined, "30 taels of silver plus one Wang Chunniang, it's done, I'll go my own way, you and I have each other's secrets, from now on we will pretend that we don't know each other, and we will never get in touch with each other! Come out and let's die together!"

Wang's father looked at Zhang Yuqing's hibiscus face, scratching his heart with all his claws, and quickly calculated in his heart that it might cost five taels of silver to get Wang Chunniang out of her in-law's house, and 30 taels of silver would only be 25 taels in the end.

Such a beautiful girl only sells for 25 taels, he is really not reconciled!

Zhang Yuqing kicked away Father Wang's hand holding her skirt, and asked impatiently, "Is it okay or not?"

The queen mother saw that the king's father refused to nod, and said anxiously: "The head of the family, 30 taels of silver is not bad! This girl is a disaster! Jinbao is still young, so she can't lose her parents!"

"What if you run back to the capital, recognize a powerful relative, and find someone to kill me?" Father Wang's eyes flickered, and he glared at Zhang Yuqing viciously.

Zhang Yuqing said indifferently: "I went to the capital to meet relatives so that I wouldn't have to worry about eating and drinking in the future. I'll live a good life, but I've tried my best to find someone to kill you. Is there nowhere to spend my money? Should I spend it on you? Besides, You are not my adoptive parents, so who are? Why should I bring trouble on me?"

"Everyone just wants to live a good life, why make such a fuss? As long as you shut your mouth, I will forget who you are. But, you stop me from living a good life without worrying about food and drink , I can only fight with you!" Zhang Yuqing looked at the Wang couple coldly, "Man dies for money, and birds die for food. You understand this truth better than me."

Hearing what Zhang Yuqing meant, Wang and his wife looked at Zhang Yuqing, trembling all over, with a chill in their hearts.

Zhang Yuqing stood up straight, smiled and said, "Your son Jin Bao likes me very much and wants to marry me as his wife. Why don't I take him to die together? I will be a pair of ghost ducks with him, and we will honor you both in the underworld! "

"No, it can't be done!" The Queen Mother exclaimed, covering her mouth belatedly, for fear that people outside would hear it.

Wang Jinbao is the lifeblood of the Wangs and his wife, and he is also a weakness. Father Wang gritted his teeth cruelly, "Success! You give me 30 taels of silver, and I will let you go with Wang Chunniang!"

"Good daddy, you really love me!" Zhang Yuqing smiled with satisfaction and breathed a sigh of relief.

Her palms and back were covered in cold sweat, and she was all supported by a breath of breath just now.

Father Wang raised his head and stared at Zhang Yuqing viciously, "If you dare to trouble us after recognizing your relatives, you can wait for me!"

"I'll return this to you as it is! After I recognize my relatives, if you dare to come over and beat my Qiufeng and ask me for money, you also wait for me!" Zhang Yuqing said coldly.

Lu Wei waited outside, tall and tall, waving the folding fan lightly, the galloping horse on the fan was lifelike, as if it could leap out of the paper.Just by standing there, the handsome and cold Young Master made the simple tea room flourish and become a beautiful scene.

The three of them hadn't seen Wang and his wife and Zhang Yuqing come out for a long time, the curtains in the tea room were closed tightly, and the voices of the three of them were so low that they couldn't hear what they were talking about.

"My lord, let's go! This can't be done! Impossible!" Fang Mo glanced at the sun outside, "She is procrastinating, maybe she has some crooked idea to rely on us!"

Although Fang Qin didn't speak, the expression on his face already showed that he thought the same as Fang Mo.Go now, and don't let that girl be entangled!

"Wait a little longer." Lu Wei said.

Not long after, the curtain of the tea room was lifted, and Zhang Yuqing walked over with her back straight and her expression indifferent.

Looking at Lu Wei standing on the window sill of the teahouse facing the street, bathed in the sun, Zhang Yuqing thought indifferently, no matter where the world is, the world is unfair.

Some people are born with good luck, they are the darlings of heaven, they are the protagonists of this world, they live in the sun, they have a bright future, and they can turn bad luck into good fortune.

And some people are born to be displaced, life and death are unpredictable, and it is difficult to move an inch. They use all the strength and dignity of their bodies, and they just want to linger on their last days and barely survive.

Lu Wei watched her walk up to him.

"Young master, my adoptive parents agreed and allowed me to leave, and 30 taels of silver will settle the parenting relationship." Zhang Yuqing said with a smile.

Fang Mo opened his mouth wide in shock, and it took him a while to recover his voice, "No, it's impossible!"

"Young master, if you don't believe me, you can ask my adoptive parents." Zhang Yuqing said, looking at Lu Wei nervously, "A promise from a gentleman is worth a thousand gold. Don't you want to fulfill your bet?"

Lu Wei closed the folding fan and told Fang Qin, "Give her 30 taels of silver."

"Master Lu, please wait a moment longer." Seeing Lu Wei turn around and walk out, Zhang Yuqing quickly stopped him.

Fang Mo muttered impatiently: "What else are you going to do!"

Lu Wei looked back at Zhang Yuqing.

Zhang Yuqing clenched her sleeves into fists and said with a smile, "I want to bring someone to Beijing, and she will be there soon."

Fang Mo pointed at Zhang Yuqing, and couldn't believe that this woman was so brazen, "You, you, you..."

"Who?" Lu Wei asked.

Zhang Yuqing said: "My adoptive parents' second sister, Wang Chunniang."

"What are you taking her for?" Fang Qin asked with a bitter face.

Zhang Yuqing hesitated to speak, eyes flickered a few times, and finally said: "Wang Chunniang has served me for many years, I am used to it."

Fang Mo was shocked, "You actually used your sister as a servant girl?!"

How brazen a person can be, he has learned a lot today!
Zhang Yuqing cheekily said to Lu Wei: "Don't worry, my lord, the money for buying Wang Chunniang is included in the 30 taels of silver."

Lu Wei ignored Zhang Yuqing, turned around and left.

This woman has a beautiful face, and the way she acts is really disgusting, making people lazy to take a look.

"Is this about money?" Fang Mo complained to Fang Qin angrily.

Fang Qin bumped Fang Mo with his elbow, "My lord didn't say anything, so just say a few words less!"

Fang Mo went out muttering, his face full of displeasure.

The king's father and queen mother went to find Wang Chunniang, and made an agreement with Zhang Yuqing that they would hand over the money and others.

Fang Qin was careful, and gave the shopkeeper a drop of money, and asked the shopkeeper to be a witness and write a note to avoid trouble in the future.

The shopkeeper of the teahouse received a lot of money for nothing, so he was very willing to help. He said to Fang Qin while writing the documents: "I know this Wang Dali. He is not from our place. He brought a large family to settle here more than ten years ago. I settled down in the mountains more than a dozen miles to the south. The mountains are full of rocks, and there are only two families in the mountains for more than ten years."

"Is there another family?" Fang Qin asked casually.

The shopkeeper nodded, dipped his pen in ink, and said: "That family doesn't go out very often, some people go to the mountain to ask Wang Dali to collect debts, and only then do they know there is another family in this mountain when they see smoke from the next mountain."

"This Wang Dali, when he first settled here, he was quite rich. He ate, drank, prostituted and gambled. Later, he estimated that his family was almost ruined. He owed a lot of gambling debts and was almost beaten to death. It's been a long time, but he still comes to gamble every once in a while when he gets some money. Now that he has the money to sell girls, it's enough for him to be cool for a while!" The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed, dried the ink, and handed the paper to Fang Qin.

Fang Qin snorted disdainfully.

Not long after, the king's father and mother came with a woman in her early twenties who was patching sackcloth.The woman was carrying a light burden, thin and emaciated, and the cloth handkerchief covered most of her face.

Zhang Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the woman.

The woman had eyes as gentle as autumn water, and walked quickly to Zhang Yuqing, looking at her anxiously.

Zhang Yuqing took the woman's hand and comforted her in a low voice: "Chun Niang."

Father Wang snorted through his nostrils, his flesh hurting unceasingly, "I brought you Chun Niang, and I asked for five taels of silver from me!"

"What's going on?" Wang Chunniang asked Zhang Yuqing in fear.

Zhang Yuqing said in a low voice, "I'll talk about it later."

"Where's the money?" Father Wang asked angrily.

Fang Qin patted a bag of heavy silver on the counter of the teahouse.

The father of the king's eyes lit up immediately, and he stretched out his hand to grab it, but Fang Qin quickly moved the silver by one place, leaving the father of the king in vain.

"You!" Father Wang was shocked and angry.

Fang Qin smiled, "Please sign a document first."

Father Wang knew a few words, looked at the documents, and pressed his handprint resentfully, snatched the silver on the counter, and carried it into his arms.

Zhang Yuqing looked at the bright red handprint on the paper, and let out a breath, all the stiff muscles in her limbs relaxed.

Finally, the dust settled.

"Let's go." Zhang Yuqing pulled Wang Chunniang out.

Wang Chunniang turned her head, looked at the father and mother, and couldn't help crying out in tears: "Mother!"

Wang's father borrowed the scale from the shopkeeper, and was busy weighing the silver, so he ignored Wang Chunniang.

The Queen Mother looked at the crying daughter, it was the flesh that fell from her body, she might never see her again after she left, she lowered her head and wiped her red eyes, she couldn't bear to look any further, she waved her hand, signaling her to go.

Zhang Yuqing dragged Wang Chunniang into the donkey cart that Lu Wei ordered Fang Mo to buy.

Lu Zhao pinned the long sword hanging on the saddle to his waist, turned on the horse neatly, and said briefly: "Go!"

Fang Qin flicked the reins in his hand, and the donkey cart trotted forward after chasing the horse in front.

The wind in early summer rolled up the car curtain, and the customs of the town gradually became farther and farther away from Zhang Yuqing.

The gears of fate that had been stagnant for 13 years finally began to turn again on this day.
