Chapter 788: Deed of sale

Seeing that the customer was arrested downstairs, the shopkeeper immediately asked: “Master, what are you doing?”

Si Fu whispered a few words in the ear of the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper immediately understood: “It turns out that they are fugitive slaves from your mansion, so just take them back.”

The three were dragged back to the Houfu. Mrs. Liu and Bai Xiaofeng were arrested for the second time, so their hearts were full of fear. When the cloth ball in their mouth was removed, they couldn’t even take care of the numbness in their mouths. They immediately begged for mercy: “Houye, houye, forgive me, we, we didn’t do anything. It’s Zhenzhu, it’s Zhenzhu’s all doing. It has nothing to do with us. We really didn’t do a thing.”

Pei Qinghan was furious that he slammed a few furniture on the side and roared: “Nothing? I will ask you, Bai Dazhu and Bai Dabao intend to kill Bai Zhi. Don’t you know that?”

Although the man in front of her was her enemy and she hated him, but she was even more afraid of him. Aafraid that her life and her son’s life would be ruined in his hands.

She has just tasted a little bit of sweetness in living a good day in the capital. Bai Xiaofeng has not yet become a big official, and she hasn’t really enjoyed her son’s official blessing. How can she die? How can they die?

Bai Zhenzhu slumped on the ground. Her face was pale and sullen. She seemed to have seen her future. No, there was no future, it was the end.

Mrs. Liu first nodded, then shook her head again: “I don’t know, we don’t know, we don’t know anything.”

Pei Qinghand coldly sneered: “You don’t know? If you don’t know at all, then why do you say that these things were done by Bai Zhenzhu?”

“I, we–we did nothing, we did nothing, you can’t kill us, you can’t–”

“Kill you?” Pei Qinghan smiled coldly: “Isn’t it too cheap to kill you like this? I want you to suffer the same way my daughter has suffered in your hands.”

Pei Qinghan pointed his finger at Bai Zhenzhu and said coldly: “Come on, bring up the deed of sale.”

Si Fu immediately stepped forward with a few written contracts.

Pei Qinghan threw the deed of sale in front of the three of them: “You have two choices, sell you to be prost.i.tutes, or sell yourself to me?”

Bai Zhenzhu’s hand trembled as she choose the second way. Mrs. Liu naturally chose the second way too. She was at this age and has no beautiful appearance. If she was sold as a prost.i.tute, she can only be the lowest kind. It’s better to die than to go to that kind of place.

Mrs. Liu pressed her fingerprints, knocked her head at Pei Qinghan a few more times, and cried: “Houye, everything is this slave’s fault. It has nothing to do with my son. I beg Houye to let him go. He will have to take the imperial examination in the future. As long as Houye let him go, this slave will work like a horse and cattle for you for the rest of my life.”

Pei Qinghan coldly snorted: “There are many people who are willing to be work like a horse and cattle for me. You are not rare.”

Mrs. Liu knelt and walked forward, kowtowed her head a few more times, and cried, “Houye, please, my son is young, he has never done anything bad, and has never done anything disrespectful to Houye. Please forgive him, he is still a child.”

Pei Qing stared at Mrs. Liu coldly and said: “How very loving. Your son is so precious in your eyes, but have you ever thought that other people’s children are equally precious? Whenever you beat my daughter with a stick, have you ever thought about how painful it is to her parents? And how much pain is it for a child who is younger than your son?”
