Rebellious Contract Beast

"This is right!"

Hearing Tsurumi Chuyun's words, the coachman suddenly smiled, but his eyes never left her face.

This exquisite face, like a work of art, is like a ferromagnet, firmly attracting people's attention to it, always making people want to take another look, and another look.

"Let me tell you in advance, we are pulling the car for the Zhu Mansion. Unlike the second-rate guys outside, the price is also more expensive, so you have to weigh how much you should pay."

"Are these enough?" He saw Chuyun's cold face and threw a money bag over.

The driver shook it after taking it, and there seemed to be a lot of clattering sounds from the collision of copper coins inside.

It looked like he was very satisfied, but the satisfied expression disappeared in the next second.

"These...are not enough?"

He saw that Chu Yun didn't say anything, but Zhu Hong next to him was so angry that he cursed: "You pull the cart! I advise you not to bite your nose and face!"

The coachman ignored her and continued to look at Tsurumi Chuyun. Unexpectedly, the next moment, the bag of copper coins in his hand suddenly disappeared.

He was stunned, lowered his head and glanced at the palm of his hand. When he looked at Tsurumi Chuyun again, the small money bag had already appeared in her hand.

"you give me!"

She ignored the driver in front of her and said to Zhu Hong, "Let's go."

"Okay, miss!" Zhuhong glared at the coachman fiercely and quickly followed Tsurumi Chuyun.

Seeing the two people walking outside, obviously preparing to find a carriage outside, the coachman suddenly became anxious: "Wait!"

Zhu Hong paused, then hesitated and said to Tsurumi Chuyun: "Miss..."

"Ignore him."

"Ok."

He saw that Chuyun kept walking, walking crisply and decisively. Seeing this scene, the coachman became even more anxious and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and stopped in front of the two of them.

"Wait a minute, I'll take you! I'll take you! Give me the money, and I'll take you there right now!"

"Hahaha, aren't you unwilling?"

This look really looks like it, Zhu Hong couldn't help but laugh at her.

The money Tsurumi Chuyun gave was not much, at least to her, it was only a dozen copper coins. But for the coachman, this money was close to his day's wages, so how could he give it up so easily?
What he did just now was just too greedy, wanting more from Tsurumi Chuyun.

But the result was that he shot himself in the foot.

Seeing the anxious look on his face, Tsurukian Chuyun's expression remained unchanged, and he shouted in a cold voice: "Get out of the way!"

"Miss! I was wrong. I was really wrong. Give me the money and I will take you to Shangtang Town right away. How about that?"

She didn't speak, just glanced at Zhu Hong before nodding, and continued in a cold voice: "Okay, I'll give you this chance."

The coachman rubbed his hands when he heard this, with a flattering look on his face.

"Then this money..."

"You just asked for it, now this is all you have."

Under his expectant gaze, Tsurumi Chuyun threw over a few copper coins. After careful counting, there were only five.

"Why these?"

"Do you want it or not? If you don't want it, just give it back to me and I'll go by myself."

"This..." The coachman looked at the five coins in his hand with a tangled look on his face. Now he felt regretful. He could earn ten coins, but now he can only earn five coins.

He wanted to be tougher, but the problem was that if he didn't take the five cents, someone else would have earned them.

After struggling for a while, he could only nod his head and said through gritted teeth, "Okay! I'll take you there!"

Tsurumi Chuyun snorted and looked at the coachman as if he were looking at a clown.

Seeing that he agreed, she signaled to Zhu Hong, turned around and walked in the direction of the carriage.

"Come up."

The coachman who had climbed up to the front of the carriage said angrily, but the two of them seemed to ignore his existence and didn't pay any attention to him.

Zhu Hong stepped forward, opened the door of the carriage, and said with a smile: "Miss, please."

Tsurumi Chuyun glanced at her speechlessly. In the past, Chuntan and Qiuyu would do this every time they wanted to go out in a carriage in Tsurumi Mansion. At that time, she didn't think it was anything, but now seeing Zhuhong like this, it felt weird. Awkward.

Why?

She didn't understand a little, but she still lifted her skirt and got into the car. However, the moment she got on, there was a sound of horse hooves from the distance. She turned around and saw that it was a more luxurious carriage. I don’t know which young master or young lady of the Zhu family belonged to the carriage. There were four mounted guards surrounding the carriage.

The carriage was traveling very fast, and it arrived in a short while. The carriage was open and who was sitting inside. He Jian Chuyun could see clearly, but because of this, she frowned.

No reason, because the person sitting in the carriage was Zhu Birong from yesterday.

After the two looked at each other briefly, the carriage drove away quickly, and their eyes met.

Both Hejian Chuyun and Shen Yi could clearly see the hatred in each other's eyes.

"Hey, old witch, I still hate you." Shen Yi couldn't help but complain.

Tsurumi Chuyun didn't care at all and said: "It seems that the contracted beast was injured and she bled a lot."

Yesterday Cong and Fei Liu had a big fight. Although the former's injuries were not as serious as the latter's, it was not optimistic. Healing pills costing dozens of taels of silver each were probably indispensable.

"It's not going to die. Just let it heal slowly. Why bother with so much effort?"

"That's her contracted beast. If something happens to it, the gain will outweigh the loss. I'm heartbroken."

"Hey, old witch, you have the nerve to say this. Why did you feel so distressed when I just came here?"

"Uh, I..." Tsurumi Chuyun was speechless for a moment.

"Others know how to cherish their contracted beasts, but you are good at riding horses. When you see me kicking or throwing me, you wish you could kill me first!"

"Okay, okay, it was my fault. I shouldn't have done this to you. Please forgive me, okay, Master?"

"That's pretty much it... By the way, you haven't changed into a maid outfit for a while, right?"

"Uh... I'll put it on for you to wear tonight."

"I want white, and I have to taste you." "But...well, I have to take a shower today anyway..."

"hey-hey."

"..."

Just when He Jian Chuyun was secretly talking to Shen Yi, the carriage she and Zhu Hong were riding in had already started moving and unknowingly arrived at the outskirts of Zhu Mansion. But before the exit, the two of them saw the carriage Zhu Birong was riding in again. A carriage was parked on the side of the road for some unknown reason. Two guards had gone to unknown places. The carriage was tightly closed, and one could not see what was going on inside.

He Jian Chuyun didn't bother to care. As soon as he left Zhu's Mansion, the driver in front of him shouted, raised his whip and slapped it on the horse's back, and the speed suddenly increased.

The carriage drove into the long street, and the bustling sounds of pedestrians all around made the atmosphere lively and full of human fireworks.

It was at this moment that Hejian Chuyun's original gentle smile disappeared, and he looked at Zhuhong. His voice was calm and a bit serious, and he asked: "Zhuhong, I want to know something. No matter what, you You all have to answer me, do you hear me?”

"What is it?"

"I want to know about my aunt and what her situation is."

"Miss...I told you yesterday that Madam doesn't want you to feel uncomfortable at Zhu's house, so she asked me not to tell you this."

"..." Hejian Chuyun was silent for a moment, and when she spoke again, there was a bit of indifference in her eyes.

"Are you my aunt's person or mine?"

"Of course...it's yours, miss."

"Since you are mine, then tell me everything I want to know. I don't like the people below hiding things from me. If you can't even do this, then you'd better leave. Well, I'm not your lady, nor your master." He Jian Chuyun's words were cold, not polite at all, and had an obvious threat, and there was a layer of ice in his eyes, which made people feel scared.

Zhu Hong was startled, a little at a loss. This aura and coercion from the eldest daughter of the Tsurumi Mansion was no different to her, a dispensable little maid in the Zhu Mansion, than the madam she often faced. .

Originally, she wanted to ask Tsurumi Hatsuun what happened to her, but now she didn't have the courage to speak.

She originally thought that this young lady from Daliang Hengzhou was an easy person to get along with, but at this moment she completely changed her mind about her.

You were looking so nice one second, but why did you suddenly change your face the next second? He is a moody person who can turn his face faster than turning the pages of a book.

But now she couldn't think about what kind of person Tsurumi Chuyun was. After understanding what the other party said, Zhuhong slid down from her seat on the spot and knelt next to her with a panicked tone.

"Miss! Miss! You must not drive Zhuhong away. If you drive me away, Madam will not want me, and Zhuhong will have no place to go! Miss..."

"Will you tell me or not?"

"I...Miss..."

"explain."

Zhu Hong had a tangled look on her face. What she said was true. Long before He Jian Chuyun came to Jiangzhou, the matriarch of the Zhu family, He Jian Yanqiu, had warned her and the dead Zhu Zi about things about her. , can't tell Tsurumi Chuyun.

There is no other reason. Tsurumi's family is gone. Tsurumi Chuyun is too weak on her own. In other people's eyes, she can't be expected to help at all. On the other hand, the Zhu family is her only one. Way to go.

After all, it is too dangerous for a girl to be outside.

Even if she told Tsurumi Hatsuun everything about Tsurumi Yanqiu, it would probably have no effect and would only cause her more troubles. It would be better to enjoy life more when she has troubles.

Once you are expelled from Zhu Mansion, the days to come will be difficult.

Now Zhuhong was facing a dilemma. She told Tsurumi Chuyun that Tsurumi Yanqiu would severely punish her, and as a result she was kicked out of the Zhu Mansion.

But if she didn't say it, Tsurumi Chuyun didn't want her anymore, and her end would only be worse.

When a servant makes a mistake and is kicked out by his master, the chance of starting over from scratch is slim.

"I'll give you three numbers. If you still don't tell me, then get off the car and don't come to me in the future."

"Miss……"

"three."

"Miss, I really..."

"two……"

Tsurumi Chuyun's oppression continued, and her cold eyes showed that she was not kidding. Those three numbers were the countdown of Zhu Hong's life. When the count reached zero, she would drive him away without hesitation. Then Shi Zhuhong will not have anywhere to go, and she will be alone and helpless. In the end, either no one will take care of her, and she will starve to death in Zhu Mansion.

Either he was taken away as a toy by a perverted young master, and finally he was tortured to death, lost his human form, and buried in a mass grave to rot quietly.

She kept struggling, but the cold and emotionless voice of the girl in front of her was like a sharp sword, easily destroying her psychological defense. Tsurumi Chuyun only counted to two, and she shouted in a crying tone: "Miss, stop counting, stop counting, Zhuhong said, Zhuhong said anything, stop counting, wuwu..."

Seeing her like this, Tsurumi Chuyun's tone softened a little, but his face remained expressionless.

"Go ahead."

"This matter started more than a year ago. At the beginning, there were no changes in the Zhu Mansion. But since something happened to Madam's family and we got the news, everything has changed..."

"No need to kneel, just sit down and say it."

"Okay, miss." Zhuhong stood up, sat down carefully next to her, wiped her tears and continued to tell.

In terms of cultivation talent, Tsurumi Yanqiu was far inferior to her brother Tsurumi Yanqiu, so he married early. When Tsurumi Song was still a bastard who was abandoned by the Tsurumi clan and went to war, Tsurumi Yanqiu She met and fell in love with Zhu Jianqing, who had not yet become the head of the Zhu family at that time. After careful calculation, I am afraid that they have been married for nearly forty years.

It is said that Tsurumi Song's journey was quite bumpy, but in the end, he used the power of King Geng of the Daliang royal family to kill many of his fathers and became the next head of the Tsurumi clan. It was also because of his push from behind. Let Zhu Jianqing also take the position of head of the family.

And men are fickle. Of course, you can't kill all the men in the world with one stick, it can only be said to be most of them, but it is a pity that Zhu Jianqing is one of these most men.

Although Tsurumi Yanqiu was also beautiful when he was young, after nearly forty years, Zhu Jianqing felt tired of it and always wanted to do something new, such as replacing Tsurumi Yanqiu, a yellow-faced woman, with a younger and more beautiful one. Wan Gaoyue came to sit on the position of mistress.

However, Tsurumi Yanqiu is just a biological sister like Tsurumi Yanqiu. When she married into the Zhu Mansion, he spent a lot of effort to buy a lot of dowry for her. Those shops and properties were an important part of the Zhu Mansion's income, so It was far from time for Zhu Jianqing to touch her.

But until the Tsurumi Mansion was wiped out, one of the biggest obstacles disappeared. Wan Gaoyue entered the stage as Zhu Jianqingping's wife with the Wanjia capital behind her. Fortunately, Tsurumi Yanqiu took the position of the Zhu family's mistress. Over the past thirty years, I have accumulated a lot of experience, otherwise I would not have been able to last that long.

And so what? Under the pressure of the Wan family, her life became more and more difficult day by day. In just four or five months, most of her properties had shrunk by half. They were either destroyed by the minions of the Wan family, or they had no choice but to hand over some properties. Give it up, or be taken away by the Zhu family.

Three months ago, Tsurumi Yanqiu no longer had many properties in his hands. Among them, one of the most important properties was Rui Xuan, a shop selling luxury goods. The business was very good, so to speak. It accounted for only 10% of the annual turnover of Zhu Mansion. It stands to reason that as long as Ru Ruixuan is stable, Tsurumi Yanqiu does not have to worry about his life in Zhu Mansion being difficult.

Even if she ends up becoming a concubine, her life is extremely comfortable.

However, the accident happened too quickly. Under the interference of Wanjia, many trading firms refused to cooperate with Ruruixuan. Zhu Yandong, who managed Ruruixuan, made another fatal mistake. He went to hospital for a sudden illness and actually trusted a trading firm from out of town. I bought a lot of raw materials at a high price, but when I paid and received the goods, I discovered that the raw materials were of inferior quality and were completely rubbish and could not be used by Rui Xuan at all.

Want to find someone to settle the score? Sorry, the group of people who bought the raw materials have long since disappeared. Where can I find them?
The funds are broken and cannot be turned over. Most of the money for buying raw materials is the deposit downstairs in Wantai. People come to the door every day to cause trouble. The money owed is the kind that ordinary people can't replace in hundreds of lifetimes without eating or drinking. , Zhu Yandong only learned afterwards that the owner behind Wantai Tower had actually become Wanjia, and everything was a trap, but it was useless to understand it afterward.

All in all, if Ruixuan falls, even if Tsurjian Yanqiu, the mistress of the Zhu family, is useless, it will be a miracle that the cannibalistic Zhu family can survive for a month.
