After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 304: Revealing the Yu Family Secrets
As the letter said, Madam Zheng and her husband rushed to the dilapidated temple in the west of the city, where they saw their son tied up and hanging there, having been beaten beyond recognition.

"Xiao Shun!"

"Son!"

The couple's hearts were trembling, and they rushed in hurriedly, trying to put their son down.

However, before they could meet their son, a cold and gloomy voice suddenly sounded, "Did you bring the silver?"

The couple was startled and looked up, only to find several burly men standing in the corner of the dilapidated temple. Without exception, they had their faces covered with scarves.

Looking at the cold blades in their hands, the couple trembled with fear, "Bring it, bring it." They quickly took off the bags on their backs and spread them on the ground.

A thin man looked at the scattered silver on the ground and said murderously, "Sending away a beggar? It seems that you don't want your son's life anymore."

"Dad, Mom, please save me quickly." Zhu Xiaoshun, with a bruised face and nose, shouted loudly.

Madam Zheng and her husband were both angry and frightened. They fell to their knees and said, "Brave man, this silver is all our belongings. We can't afford any more. Please be kind and spare our Xiao Shun."

"I heard that you, an old woman, are a favorite of the old lady of the Yu family. You have worked for her like a slave all your life, and this is the only money you get. Who are you trying to deceive?" said the thin man, raising the sword in his hand and pressing it against Madam Zheng's throat.

Madam Zheng was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her chest. She said with a pale face, "You don't know, brave man, although I am Madam Yu's personal nanny, my monthly salary is not much, and the old lady is not a generous person. She only gives me some rewards during festivals.

In addition, all the savings we had before were squandered by my son. We really can’t afford that much now. Please have mercy on my son.”

"Stop talking nonsense. If you don't collect the silver today, I will kill your son on the spot." After the thin man said this, he suddenly jumped up and cut the rope that was hanging Zhu Xiaoshun.

With a loud bang, Zhu Xiaoshun fell to the ground. He grimaced in pain, but he didn't care to cry out in pain. Instead, he yelled at his parents in frustration, "Do you want to see me die? If I die, there will be no one to take care of you in your old age."

Zhu Dashun was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe.

This traitor!

If he wasn't addicted to gambling, how could such a disaster have happened today?
But he only has this one son, and he is an old one. Now that things have come to this, he can only find a way to save him first.

"Brave man, do you think this is okay? My wife and I will work like slaves for you to pay off the gambling debts owed by our son." Zhu Dashun said with a shy smile.

"Yes, please be kind and merciful. Our whole family will serve you like slaves." Nanny Zheng also said hurriedly.

The thin man fell silent, looking at the couple, as if he was considering the matter. After a long while, he sighed and said awkwardly, "I can't make the decision on this matter."

Upon hearing this, Madam Zheng and her husband seemed to see a glimmer of hope, and hurriedly asked, "Then I wonder if the warrior can introduce the person in charge to us?"

The leading man said, "Our boss has no shortage of servants, and you are all old, he doesn't like you. But our boss has a special hobby, if you can satisfy it, maybe he will be happy and release Zhu Xiaoshun, and won't ask you to pay back the money."

"What hobby?" the couple asked hurriedly.

The thin man hooked his finger at the two of them.

The two of them immediately crawled to his side on their knees.

The thin man lowered his voice and said, "Our boss likes to hear other people's secrets the most. You also work for a big family, so you should know a lot about the master's secrets, right?

If you can tell us something interesting, our boss will be happy to hear it, and today's incident will not be a big deal."

When Madam Zheng and her husband heard this, they hesitated. Just as they were hesitating, a scream echoed throughout the ruined temple.

"what--"

The couple turned their heads and saw that their son Zhu Xiaoshun's left hand, which was already missing a finger, had another finger broken.

The couple was heartbroken, "Xiao Shun!"

"It's not surprising that you can't pay back the money. If you want to satisfy my boss, the only thing you can do is let your son pay with his life. After all, debts must be repaid!" The thin man's words were full of hostility. He chopped off other people's fingers as if he was cutting melons and vegetables, without blinking an eye.

The couple were so frightened that they turned pale.

"Oh, it hurts so much... Dad and Mom, please save your son." Zhu Xiaoshun's face was covered with tears and snot in pain.

Nanny Zheng and her husband were heartbroken.

Especially Madam Zheng, who burst into tears when she saw her son suffering. She gritted her teeth and said, "As long as the brave man lets my son go and settles the gambling debt of one thousand taels of silver, I will tell you a strange story to satisfy your master."

"Speak!" the leading man urged impatiently.

Nanny Zheng looked at the sword in his hand, swallowed, and dared not hesitate any longer.

“Speaking of which, there is indeed a strange thing in the Yu family that no one knows about. Our old lady gave birth to twin girls, but when she gave birth to the younger daughter, she had a heavy hemorrhage and almost died.

The old lady was a superstitious person. Before giving birth, she met a wandering Taoist priest who told her that she would die of hemorrhage. So she was troubled by the fact that she almost died while giving birth to her youngest daughter. She believed that her youngest daughter brought bad luck to her, so after she recovered her strength, she had the second daughter sent away far away.

The second young lady never enjoyed a single day of maternal love since she was born, and grew up on the farm until she was three years old.

When the second young lady was three years old, the old lady suddenly remembered that she had another daughter, so she changed her mind and wanted to take the second young lady back to her side. But when she went to the farm, she found that the second young lady was a fool.

"Stupid? What do you mean?" the thin man asked with a frown.

Madam Zheng sighed, "The second young lady is a born idiot, her brain is not very good. The old lady originally wanted to take her back, but she immediately gave up the idea. She even punished some people who knew about it because she was afraid that others would know that she gave birth to a fool.

So later on, almost no one knew that she had a little daughter.

Speaking of which, our second young lady is also a person with a miserable life."

Upon hearing this, the thin man asked in a deep voice, "Since they are twin girls, do they look exactly the same?"

"They are indeed exactly the same, but the second young lady is not very smart, but her appearance is actually much prettier than the eldest young lady." said Nanny Zheng.

Hearing this, the thin man acted interested and said, "I didn't expect the Yu family to have such a secret. What happened to the second Miss Yu? Is she still alive now?"

Madam Zheng felt that she had said too much and was afraid that Old Madam Yu would blame her, so she stopped talking and said, "Brave man, I have already told you the secrets of the Yu family. Can you let my son go?"

"I can let your son go, but I need to think twice about the one thousand taels of silver," said the thin man.

Madam Zheng frowned, "Didn't we just agree on this..."

"What did we agree on? Do you think one thousand taels is just one tael? The secret you just told me is not enough to make the boss happy. How about this, can you see if there is anything more bizarre than the one you mentioned before?" the thin man said unhappily.

Nanny Zheng hesitated.
