"Sister Xiaxia!"
"Dongxue, what brings you here? Is sothing the matter?" Usually, Yang Dongxue rarely visited her place.
She would normally go to the Yang Family side to play, but ever since Yang Xiayun and Luo Linyu moved to her side, the girl had hardly looked for Yang Xiayun to play.
"Sister Xiaxia, a lot of people ca to my house, and they want to take Second Mother away." Yang Dongxue’s voice sounded sowhat shaky, and her face was a bit pale.
Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia’s expression imdiately darkened, fearing that there must be trouble with Ms. Hong.
"How many people ca? Do you recognize anyone?"
"About a dozen or so, two won and the rest n. I didn’t recognize anyone."
Yang Chuxia thought for a mont and then sent the two children back ho, took a few steps, and saw that Yang Dongxue was still standing at the doorway.
"You co in too, Yunyun and Linyu are both here. I’ll go and take a look in a while."
Once ho, she sent the two treasures back to the small building and left them in the care of Sister-in-law Li, then she called Brother Li, Sister-in-law Li, and several of the family servants to head towards the old residence.
Yang Dongxue was worried about her ho and didn’t want to stay at Yang Chuxia’s place, insisting on going with them.
"Did you call your Third Uncle over?"
"I did when I ca over just now."
"And what about the main grandfather’s family?"
"I haven’t been there yet, I ca here first," Yang Dongxue thought for a mont and then added, "The people who ca were very fierce, insisting that Second Mother had escaped from their place."
Yang Chuxia fell silent upon hearing this.
It couldn’t be a good place from which Ms. Hong had escaped, could it? But that also didn’t make sense, Ms. Hong had been bought by her uncle from a tooth shop, and the deed of sale was still there.
Forget it, I shouldn’t speculate wildly. I’d better go and see for myself first.
By the ti she arrived at the old residence, she saw that many people had gathered at the entrance of the old house.
There was a lot of noise inside, with n’s voices, won’s voices, and children’s crying.
She pushed the door open to see that indeed, there were quite a few people standing in the yard; Ms. Luo was holding a child, indifferent to the matter at hand.
As for Ms. Hong, she was hiding behind Yang Xiaochuan, whose face was blue and purple in places.
Even Yang Da’an’s face didn’t look good, with a broken corner of his mouth; Ms. Liu looked okay, though.
Ms. Wang and Yang Dachuan had also brought along a few servants, and they were at that mont in a tense standoff with the group brought by the other side.
"Dad, what’s going on here? Who are these little thieves from, daring to make trouble at our Yang Family’s doorstep?"
Look at those two won in front, one’s face painted like a ghost, the other with lips as red as if she’s drunk blood.
And look at those dozen or so n; they all look like bruisers from brothels or gambling dens.
"Oh, such a big mouth you have, without even inquiring about the background of the Fancy Red Pavilion. You dare to shelter a person who has fled from the Fancy Red Pavilion? You must be quite bold," the woman with the red lips said mockingly.
Yang Chuxia glanced at her and humphed, "No matter what the background of the Fancy Red Pavilion is, in my eyes, it’s just a filthy place. Speaking of backgrounds, is your establishnt opened by the Emperor? If it’s not opened by the Emperor, then don’t boast about how powerful your background is!"
She had long heard about the Fancy Red Pavilion, and it was very notorious; it had co up in past argunts between Yang Lichun and Yang Ruoqiu, with taunts about selling soone to the Fancy Red Pavilion.
This Fancy Red Pavilion, although a brothel, was managed like a chain, with branches in many places and all by the sa na of Fancy Red Pavilion.
There were several in Funan alone, with two in Quanya County, one in the county town and one in Wangshui Town.
