Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The middle-aged man’s face was ashen. He glared at Shao Qingyuan and said, “Do you know who I am?”
“Then do you know who we are?” Gu Yundong jumped down from the shaft of the carriage, looking insufferably arrogant.
‘Do you know who I am? Who wouldn’t say that?’
The middle-aged man was stunned. He took a closer look at Gu Yundong and the rest. They were dressed very commonly and did not look like people with power and influence.
However, the aura of these two people made people feel that they could not be underestimated.
They were so confident. Could it be that their backer was also very powerful?
The middle-aged man’s surname was Zhou. He was originally a wealthy businessman in Qing’an Prefecture. Later on, when Qing’an Prefecture was in chaos, his business plummeted. Also, his backer was transferred to Xuanhe Prefecture, so he simply moved his entire family to Xuanhe Prefecture.
Their current location belonged to the Qing’an Prefecture. Other than some close friends, his backer was really not here.
Could it be that these people had someone backing them up in Qing’an Prefecture?
Zhou Dafu pondered in his heart and became a little uncertain.
At this moment, Ah Feng rode his horse and brought back Zhou Xiaojun, who had almost fainted from crying.
The child was indeed saved, but he was frightened. As soon as he was carried off the horse, his legs went limp and he fell to the ground.
Ah Feng looked at Ah Hai, the coachmen, and the others who were tied up. His expression immediately changed, and he was about to draw his saber.
Gu Yundong had somehow gotten into the carriage behind Zhou Dafu. A dagger was pressed against his neck as he glanced at Ah Feng.
The latter immediately stopped and was tied up by Ah Mao.
Zhou Dafu stared at the dagger on his neck and trembled in fear. He finally realized that he had become meat on the chopping board. His voice immediately softened. “Guys, let’s talk things out. This matter is indeed our family’s fault. We will apologize and compensate the two of you. Can you give us a price?”
Gu Yundong raised his eyebrows. Zhou Dafu sensed the change in her attitude and hurriedly said, “Look, my son did go overboard and did something wrong, but you’ve also taken revenge. Look, he’s so scared that he can’t speak. We’re even now, right?”
Everyone looked at Zhou Xiaojun, who was covered in sweat. This child in his early teens had probably never experienced such a life and death situation. He was so frightened that his face turned pale and his hands and feet trembled. The lesson was indeed quite ruthless.
But Gu Yundong did not regret it at all. He had asked for it. If she had not been calm enough, if Shao Qingyuan had not risked everything to save her, she would have been thrown off the horse and trampled to death.
She was just giving him a taste of his own medicine.
“I think you should thank us for helping you educate your son.” This person didn’t think much of it at first. Although he apologized, his sincerity was very perfunctory.
Otherwise, why would he beat up Ah Mao and the others after he did something wrong?
Zhou Dafu could only smile and say, “Miss, you’re right. Then about this…”
“Of course you must compensate. Not only do you have to compensate me, but you also have to compensate them. They were also beaten up badly by you.” Gu Yundong pointed at Ah Mao and the others.
Zhou Dafu nodded repeatedly. “Of course, of course.”
This time, he took out 2,000 taels of silver. “I didn’t bring much with me on this trip. Take this money, my lady, and go to the pharmacy to buy the best Jade Skin Cream to wipe your hands. I guarantee that there won’t be any scars.”
Gu Yundong took the silver and moved the dagger away.
“I’ll accept my compensation. As for the four of them, you can talk to them yourself.”
Ah Mao and the others immediately surrounded him. After receiving the compensation, they happily boarded the mule cart.
As soon as they left, Zhou Dafu’s expression darkened. He glanced at the two useless guards and finally scolded Zhou Xiaojun, “What else do you know other than causing trouble every day? Do you know anything? You’ve been spoiled by your mother.”
Zhou Xiaojun was still in a daze. After experiencing such a thing, he felt extremely aggrieved. In the end, his father scolded him without care and he exploded on the spot.
“You still have the cheek to scold me? If you hadn’t taken that old woman surnamed Gu as your concubine, would Mother have been so angry that she went back to her parents’ house? If Mother hadn’t gone back to her parents’ house, we wouldn’t have had to come and pick her up, and we wouldn’t have met those fiends. All of this is your fault..”
