Chapter 403 Brother, I Like You 30

After getting Wu Shier's consent, the head maid turned around and walked out of the yard quickly, winked at the old women, and then suddenly opened the gate.

When Aunt Liu saw the courtyard door open, she was about to continue yelling, but was interrupted by the head maid's stern shout: "Aunt Liu, don't talk nonsense here! My wife is thinking of our old relationship and doesn't want to argue with you, but you don't know what's good for you!"

As she spoke, the head maid waved her hand, and several strong maids behind her rushed forward.

Aunt Liu opened her eyes wide in horror and tried to struggle but was held down tightly.

The head maid sneered, "You usually take advantage of your status as Madam Liu to bully others in the mansion, and now you dare to act like a spoiled brat outside the Madam's courtyard. Today I will teach you a lesson!"

Seeing this, the old women who were originally holding Madam Liu just stood aside and watched.

After all, this was Wu Shier's own business, and it was not easy for them to interfere.

Chao Yao also didn't want them to interfere.

The head maid ordered the servants to slap Concubine Liu in the face, causing her cheeks to become red and swollen, with blood oozing from the corners of her mouth.

"Let's see if you dare to gossip again in the future!" The head maid glared at him.

Aunt Liu no longer had her previous arrogance, she just sobbed and begged for mercy.

The head maid snorted and said, "Humph! I'll see if you dare to talk nonsense next time. Let's go!"

Seeing this, the old women dragged Aunt Liu away. The head maid then turned around and took the others back to the yard to report to Wu Shier.

The old women dragged Aunt Liu all the way to Chaoyao's yard.

At this moment, Aunt Liu's hair was disheveled, her face was covered with tear marks, and she looked in a miserable state.

Chao Yao sat in the hall and watched her being dragged in with a cold expression.

"Miss Chao, please forgive me. I won't dare to do it again." Aunt Liu raised her head, her eyes full of fear and pleading.

Chao Yao was unmoved and said coldly: "You have repeatedly caused trouble and have no intention of repenting. I cannot keep you. I will sell you out today as a warning to others."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and she shouted loudly: "Chaoyao, don't be complacent! Wu Shier instructed me to do all this, she is the mastermind behind it!"

I originally thought that I could control Chao Yao in this way, after all, Wu Shier is her biological mother.

As a daughter, you can't let such an ugly thing be exposed in public, right?

Who knows, Chao Yao just said calmly: "So what? You just listen to whatever she says, don't use your brain to judge, and don't solve the problem. Since you are the first to speak out, you have to bear the consequences."

After he finished speaking, Chao Yao glanced at the old woman next to him. The other woman immediately understood and covered Aunt Liu's mouth with a cloth without saying a word.

"It's much quieter now. When will the human teether arrive?"

Zhiyin replied from the side: "Zhangya is only one block away from here, and it will take about a cup of tea to get to Ruo Mansion."

After a cup of tea, Zhang Ya rushed to Ruo Mansion in a hurry.

All they saw was a shrewd and capable middle-aged woman, wearing a dark coat and a bulging cloth bag tied around her waist. She glanced at everyone present with sharp eyes and a sophisticated and smooth smile on her face.

As soon as Zhang Ya entered the yard, he walked quickly towards Chao Yao, bowed respectfully, and said, "Miss Chao, I hope you won't blame me for being late."

Chao Yao raised his hand slightly, motioning her to stand up, and said coldly: "It's okay, I'm glad you're here. What we're selling today is this Aunt Liu and her niece Liu Sujin, go and check them out."

Zhang Yaren quickly responded, "Yes, Miss Chao."

Then he couldn't wait to walk up to Aunt Liu and Liu Sujin with big strides, and like a hunter eyeing his prey, he looked them up and down with full concentration and meticulousness.

"You can tear off her strips of cloth, otherwise I won't be able to see the whole thing."

The big man who came with Zhang Yaren roughly tore open the cloth strip in Aunt Liu's mouth, causing her face to turn pale with pain.

At this time, Aunt Liu's eyes were full of fear and anger. When Zhang Ya pulled her hand, she struggled desperately to break free, cursing loudly: "How dare you, a bunch of unjust people, treat me like this! I am the aunt of this mansion. You treat me like this, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

But her resistance was futile, as the old woman next to her held her down so hard that she could not move.

Zhang Yaren glanced at Aunt Liu and snorted coldly, "Hmph, you've fallen to this point, why are you still acting like an aunt? In my eyes, no matter what your status was in the past, you are just a commodity waiting to be sold."

As she spoke, she continued to check on her own.

In order to make it easier to check, Zhang Ya asked the maids to let her go a little. As soon as they let her go, Aunt Liu rushed directly towards Chao Yao.

Before everyone could react, Aunt Liu picked up the inkstone on Chao Yao's desk and was about to smash it on her face.

At that critical moment, Chao Yao reacted quickly, turned his body to the side, and nimbly dodged the inkstone that Aunt Liu was throwing at him.

Aunt Liu's attack missed, and she became even crazier. She threw the inkstone in her hand to the ground, grabbed the vase next to her, and rushed towards Chao Yao again, shouting frantically: "Chao Yao, you little bitch, I'm going to fight you!"

At this time, Zhiyin, who was standing by, finally came to her senses and shouted, "Come quickly, stop her!"

Several strong maids rushed forward quickly, grabbed Aunt Liu's arms tightly, and twisted them back hard, causing Aunt Liu to scream in pain.

"Let me go! Let me go! I'm going to kill her!"

Aunt Liu was still struggling desperately, trying to break free from the restraints of the old women.

The maids also quickly gathered around and helped control Aunt Liu's legs, preventing her from moving forward at all.

Chao Yao stood up, looked at Aunt Liu with a cold expression, and said, "Aunt Liu, since you are so ignorant of life and death, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Aunt Liu continued to curse and swear, saying all kinds of vicious words.

"I should have given Wu Shier more drugs when I first gave her the drug, so she could have been killed directly. Then you wouldn't have been able to show off your power today, little bitch!"

This sentence was like a bolt of thunder, exploding directly in everyone's heart.

Everyone thought that Wu Shier was not good at getting pregnant because of her age, but they didn't expect this to be the reason.

Seeing this, Zhiyin walked up and slapped Aunt Liu hard, shouting angrily: "It's already this time, and you still don't repent! You did so many evil things before, and you don't even have the slightest intention of repenting!"

Aunt Liu was a little dazed by the slap and finally calmed down for a while.

Zhang Yaren was watching the chaotic scene from the sidelines, shook his head and said, "Miss Chao, this crazy woman is hard to discipline, we need to deal with her quickly to avoid any more trouble."

Chao Yao nodded and said, "Tie her up for me and don't let her move around anymore."

What Aunt Liu did was too serious. If Tingfeng knew about it, he would most likely not let her go.

But if he knew about this, it would also be detrimental to Ruo Fufeng's ascension to the throne.

Chao Yao's fingers moved slightly, and everyone in the courtyard was in a trance for a moment, forgetting what Aunt Liu had just said about drugging Wu Shier.

At this time, the maids quickly found a thick rope, and two of them pressed down Aunt Liu's shoulders hard, making her unable to move.

Another maid wrapped one end of the rope around Aunt Liu's arm several times and tied it tightly, then pulled the rope behind her and tied her hands crosswise.

Then, the old women brought Aunt Liu's legs together and wrapped them around with ropes until her legs were tied tightly and could not bend.

During the whole process, Aunt Liu kept twisting her body and trying to break free, but under the strong control of the old women, her struggle was futile.

Now she could no longer struggle and could only glare at Chao Yao fiercely.

"Mr. Zhang Ya, you can go check it out now. If there are any inconveniences, let the maids handle it."

"Yes, Miss Chao."

Zhang Ya first pulled Aunt Liu's hand tightly, her eyes as sharp as a torch, as if she was examining precious and rare goods. She squinted her eyes and carefully checked whether the joints of the fingers were thick. She fiddled with each finger back and forth, and from time to time she gently rubbed her fingers to feel whether the palm was rough. Her focused expression seemed to see Aunt Liu's life experience from these hands.

Then, she loudly and unceremoniously ordered Aunt Liu to open her mouth, and she leaned her head closer, with the tip of her nose almost touching Aunt Liu's teeth. She looked left and right, checking the condition of her teeth, shaking her head as she looked, and muttered, "These teeth are not in good condition."

Afterwards, she used both hands to pinch Aunt Liu's arms and legs, sometimes pressing lightly to feel the elasticity of the muscles, and sometimes pinching hard to test the strength of the muscles. She did not miss any part, carefully feeling the firmness of the muscles, frowning, as if silently estimating the value of Aunt Liu in her heart.

After Zhang Yaren carefully examined Aunt Liu, he turned to look at Liu Sujin, looked her up and down, and said in a cold tone: "Little girl, stand still and let me take a look."

Liu Sujin stood there timidly, her body shaking uncontrollably.

Zhang Yaren walked forward, took Liu Sujin's hand, frowned and said, "This little hand is delicate, but look at these thin arms and legs, they don't have much strength."

She asked Liu Sujin to turn around again and continued, "She looks decent, but she looks timid. I'm afraid it will be hard to get a good price for her."

After saying that, he shook his head and continued to examine Liu Sujin's body.

Liu Sujin was so frightened that she was trembling with tears in her eyes. She did not dare to resist at all and just passively let Zhang Yaren manipulate her.

The other maids and servants watched from the side, some with expressionless faces, as if they were already used to it;

Some showed a trace of pity in their eyes, but did not dare to say much.

After the inspection, Zhang Yaren frowned slightly, curled his lips, and said to Chao Yao helplessly: "Miss Chao, although Aunt Liu is still in good health, she is a little older after all, and she looks quite embarrassed after going through all this. Liu Sujin is young, but she doesn't look very strong. I'm afraid she won't be sold for too high a price."

Chao Yao looked indifferent, raised his head slightly, and said, "The price is not a problem. As long as we can sell them far away and make them unable to mention the Ruo family again, a lower price will not matter."

Zhang Yaren's eyes rolled around, a hint of subtle joy flashed across his face, and he said, "In my opinion, the total cost of these two people is at most twenty taels of silver. This amount of money is really not much. I am giving you a fair price for your sake, Miss Chao."

It doesn’t matter how much it sells for, as long as it is sold.

Chao Yao nodded without hesitation, with a resolute look on his face: "Twenty taels is twenty taels, as long as you can do as I ask. You must sell them thousands of miles away, so that they will never have the opportunity to gossip about the Ruo family again."

Zhang Yaren smiled and responded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Miss Chao. I'm always reliable. I'm Zhang Yaren's reputation is very famous in this area. I will do my best to fulfill my promise. I will sell Aunt Liu and Liu Sujin to a faraway place. I guarantee that they will never say a word again in their lives."

Chao Yao still believed in the brokers who could work in Ruo Mansion.

So she nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's great. I'll leave this matter to you. If you do it well, you will benefit a lot in the future."

Zhang Yaren hurriedly nodded and agreed, then called on a few burly men he brought with him to take Aunt Liu and Liu Sujin away roughly like dead dogs.

Aunt Liu and Liu Sujin had their mouths covered. They sobbed and struggled desperately, their eyes filled with despair and resentment, and their tears flowed uncontrollably like a flood. However, all this could not change their tragic fate of being sold.

After Aunt Liu and Liu Sujin were taken away, Chao Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her frown slowly relaxed.

As soon as they left Ruo Mansion and got on the ox cart, Zhang Yaren took out a knife and cut off the tongues of Aunt Liu and Liu Sujin with ease.

"If you can't utter a single word, won't that make you dumb?"

The ox cart moved slowly forward. Aunt Liu and Liu Sujin had blood in their mouths. They whimpered in pain, but could no longer make any clear sounds.

Zhang Ya looked at them coldly and snorted, "This is what happens when you offend the Ruo family."

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the wind was blowing coldly. The oxcart carrying the miserable two people went farther and farther away, disappearing at the end of the winding road.

In the Ruo Mansion, Chaoyao was sitting in the hall, with Zhiyin serving him beside him.

"Miss, the matter has finally been resolved. I just wonder if it would be bad if what Aunt Liu said about Madam Wu's instructions got out?" Zhiyin asked softly.

"No, they can't spread it. You should also warn the people present today. If anyone spreads rumors, Zhang Ya can come to Ruo Mansion again."

Zhiyin understood what he meant and quickly responded, "Don't worry, Miss. I'll do it right away."

After Zhiyin left, Chaoyao sat alone in the hall, his thoughts wandering.

Thinking of Aunt Liu's hideous face and vicious words, he rubbed his brows.

Trivial matters are the most likely to cause internal friction.

But when he thought that the mansion had finally gotten rid of this scourge, he felt a little more at peace.

If there are many problems in the inner courtyard of your home, every little thing must be dealt with in advance.

Not long after, Zhiyin came back and reported: "Miss, I have already told you all that. Everyone must promise not to say anything."

Chao Yao nodded slightly and said, "Very good. We need to pay more attention in the mansion these days to prevent any further incidents."
