Chapter 634 No money? It will cost you your life in a minute
"You want to see the madam? She has already taken my money. You'd better be obedient! Otherwise, you will die an even more miserable death." Mrs. Peng glared at her ferociously.
Soon, many men came to the door of Yiyuan one after another, and the place returned to its usual state. However, today was different. They all came for a woman. Mrs. Peng was in charge and asked Shen Youran to play various instruments and sing. In the second half of the night, a man came in and out of Shen Youran's room every half an hour. It was not until the next day that Mrs. Peng collected the money and dragged Mr. Peng away.
Many people sighed that Mrs. Peng was worthy of being from a family that started out as a businessman. In one night, she almost got back her investment of twelve thousand yuan and even made a little profit. Mrs. Peng left very satisfied. Mr. Peng was beaten so badly that he didn't dare to say a word. He knelt beside his wife for the whole night. He spent so much money, but not only did he not get to taste the love of Miss Xiang'er, he was also beaten. How could he save his face in the future?
After Mrs. Peng returned, she sent Mr. Peng directly to the embroidery workshop to be a manager, and he was no longer required to interfere in household affairs and business.
Soon, the news of what happened last night spread throughout the entire Lin'an City. Yao Qingnian stayed in the inn for a while last night and then went back to sleep. When she woke up the next day, she was shocked to hear the news. She had thought that Mrs. Peng would at most give Shen Youran and the others a good beating, but she didn't expect that she would do such a thing. However, Yao Qingnian had a blank expression on her face. Shen Youran brought this upon himself, and she had no sympathy for him at all. But Mr. Peng got away with it.
Shen Youran was in a miserable state. She was tortured all night and lay in bed for a long time. Her body was covered with bruises and her face was beaten like a pig's head.
Mrs. Peng was really a ruthless person. After taking advantage of Shen Youran, she had her beaten up when she left, making it impossible for her to go out and see anyone again.
It was not until the afternoon that the madam appeared: "Xiang'er, you worked hard yesterday. Mommy had no choice. Mrs. Peng's family was big and powerful, and she had a strong background. I dare not go against her, so I have to let you down."
"Well, Mom, now is the time to fulfill your promise to me, right?"
"You're talking about this, ah, Xiang'er, it's not that mommy doesn't want to give it to you, but I can't take it out!"
"What did you say? Didn't you accept 12,000 taels from Master Peng? If you gave me half of it, it would be 6,000 taels! How come you can't take it out?" Shen Youran looked at Mother Yi angrily.
"You don't know, after Mrs. Peng made such a fuss last night, I had to return all the money to Mr. Peng. After all, given their family's status and position, who would dare to take their money?" Mother Yi looked embarrassed.
"You're talking nonsense. Madam Peng clearly said last night that she had returned the silver to you! Mother Yi, I'm not a girl from your place. We agreed on this when we first came here. You can't go back on your word!" Shen Youran didn't believe that Mother Yi would return the silver. It must be her who didn't want to give it to herself.
"Xiang'er, why would I lie to you! These five hundred taels of silver are my private money. Take it first and take good care of it. We'll talk when you're well." After saying this, Mother Yi prepared to leave.
"No! It's six thousand taels! Not a cent less!" Shen Youran suffered such a great humiliation, but was finally sent away by Yi's mother with only five hundred taels of silver. No! She was unwilling to accept it! She must have embezzled the silver. She picked up the dagger beside her, climbed out of the bed, grabbed Yi's mother, and pressed her neck.
Yi's mother was startled and hurriedly comforted her, "Xiang'er, put the knife down."
"Give me the silver! I was bullied like that last night, and you didn't even show up! Now you want to embezzle the silver by yourself! Go and take out all the silver, twelve thousand, not a penny less. If you don't give it out, we will die together today." Shen Youran was desperate. Anyway, after what happened last night, she would definitely not be able to stay in Lin'an City anymore. Therefore, she had to get the silver and leave here, and find a new place to live.
"I... I didn't! I really returned it all to Master Peng." Mother Yi said in tears.
"I don't care! Money or life, it's your choice!"
"Xiang'er, don't be impulsive! I...I'll go get it..."
"Go! If you dare to play any tricks, I will kill you in a minute!" Shen Youran was forced into a desperate situation and became more and more ruthless. Anyway, she was alone now and the worst that could happen was death. If she fought hard, there might be a chance of survival.
"Okay, okay, don't move, I'll take you there right away." While talking to her, Yi's mother took her to her room.
Mother Yi wanted to ask for help, but Shen Youran had learned her lesson. She was well prepared and stuffed a pill into her mouth. This was the pill her mother Zhong Xi had given her so that she could use it in times of crisis. Today, it came in handy.
"What did you feed me?"
"Poison. I am the only one who has the antidote for this poison. If you honestly give me the silver, I will give you the antidote after I get the silver. If you try to escape or call for someone to arrest me, you will die of a ruptured stomach!"
"I... I dare not! I'll go get the silver for you now." Mother Yi originally thought that since she was a girl, she would take the opportunity to have someone catch her later. However, she did not expect that this little bitch actually gave her poison. She had no choice but to take out the silver as she was instructed.
Shen Youran looked at her silver, which added up to at least thirty thousand taels. She put it all into her pocket without hesitation, then took her to the backyard and prepared to escape.
"Xiang'er, now that you have the silver, it's time to give me the antidote, right?"
"You just lied to me and said you returned the money to Master Peng, but you actually embezzled it. I trusted you so much, how could you be so evil?"
"Xiang'er, I have no choice. You've seen how difficult our life is now. It's mom's fault. I apologize to you. Please give me the antidote soon." Yi's mother said humbly, trying to calm the man down first.
"Apologize? What's the point of apologizing to me now? You want the antidote, right? Haha! Beg me!"
"Xiang'er, I beg you! Give me the antidote quickly!" For the sake of staying alive, begging for help means nothing.
"There's no antidote for that poison!" Shen Youran smiled contemptuously.
"What? You bitch, how dare you play tricks on me! Someone come..." Mother Yi was about to shout, but Shen Youran covered her mouth.
"Go to hell!" Shen Youran's eyes flashed, and he stabbed Yi's mother with a dagger, then ran away with the silver. Yi's mother never dreamed that she would lose her life like this. When the people from Yiyuan heard the news and came over, Yi's mother was already dead.
After the murder, government officials came to investigate and discovered that the incident was related to Shen Youran. They issued a wanted order and searched the entire city for Shen Youran's whereabouts.
