Madam Yin lay prostrate on the ground, unable to rise for a long time.
Just when she thought there was no way out.
Jitang called for Chen Er.
He told Chen Er, "Take her to Yang City!"
Chen Er was the first to disagree: "Young Master Ji, what can she do in Yang City? What work can she do?"
Jitang gave a slight smile: "A person like Madam Yin naturally has the ability to survive."
He was fair in his dealings: "For making this trip, half of Madam Yin’s treasures will be yours, but do not take more than you should!"
Chen Er’s eyes gleamed green.
He immediately scooped up half of the treasures and stuffed them into his clothes, bulging out at the chest.
He then yanked Madam Yin to her feet.
Chen Er said, "You crazy woman, today you’re lucky to have caught Young Master Ji in a good mood, otherwise mere imprisonment wouldn’t be enough to end you!"
Madam Yin, stumbling and bumbling, still managed to thank Jitang.
Truly, utterly demeaning.
After sending them off, Jitang lifted the red cloth to admire the contents more closely.
The jade rack, smooth and warm to the touch.
His heart suddenly jolted.
Only then did he remember, this jade rack was built precisely to the dimensions of Su Ruanruan’s figure...
Chen Er, taking Madam Yin, left for Yang City overnight.
Taking the paths Jitang had, they went undetected.
By dawn, Madam Yin arrived at a place.
Darkness enveloped the sky; numerous despicable people were laboring, and the overseers were brutal.
Madam Yin was horrified.
Clutching her jewels tightly to her chest, she carefully followed Chen Er.
Chen Er led her to a small room, saying, "Here we are, from now on you’ll live here. Don’t complain about how it looks, it’s better than prison. Naturally, there’s also no shortage of fun things to do here."
Chen Er, as he spoke, had a sinister gleam in his eye.
He pondered: This woman has such tender skin; if it were not for her connections with Miss Su, he would have had his fun first before any of these coarse men here!
Chen Er left the room without another word.
Madam Yin trembled, clutching her treasures.
Suddenly, the door opened.
In stepped a man over 190 cm tall, clad in coarse clothing, muscles bulging all over.
His gaze was fierce.
The man handed his whip to someone outside and walked in with a grin spread across his face.
With a swift move, he seized the jewels from Madam Yin’s hands.
Madam Yin let out a shriek.
She desperately tried to wrestle back her last possessions.
"Give it here!" the man pushed her down to the ground.
He greedily counted the loot, then eagerly eyed Madam Yin’s soft delicate skin.
Such a forsaken place, rare to see a woman who looked decent.
The man informed her, "Young Master Ji has handed you over to me!"
Having said that, the man eagerly grabbed Madam Yin and tossed her onto the earthen bed...
Madam Yin was panic-stricken.
While the mountainous man approached her step by step...
Outside, Chen Er had not left yet!
He stood looking up at the sky, then let out a chuckle.
Originally, Jitang wouldn’t bother with such a trifle, leaving the woman to her own fate. Who told her to mention Miss Su, someone as noble as her, did she even have the right to speak her name?
Served her right!
Chen Er spat into the room, cheerfully heading back to B City.
The round trip took but one day.
When he returned, it was still night.
Jitang was still in his study; as Chen Er entered, it dawned on him that it seemed Jitang had not sought out a woman in quite some time.
He reported back to Jitang, adding a salacious flair to the events on the earthen bed.
Chen Er had the look of one seeking praise.
Jitang glanced at him and continued writing.
He had studied under a calligraphy master, writing brush strokes bold and upright.
After finishing a couplet, he said to Chen Er, "Deliver this to Sun Jingyu’s house."
Chen Er smiled knowingly.
