Yet, I am your flesh and blood, and you have never once considered my feelings,” Pei Xiaoxia said with a smile on her face, although her heart was filled with tears.
“Then let consider my own well-being.”
“You…”
“This is the Divorce Docunt,” Pei Xiaoxia handed over a piece of paper, “Once you stamp your fingerprint, we will have no further ties.”
“Xiaoxia, you…”
“The Pei family has raised you for so many years, and you just want to leave like this?” Pei elder brother would never agree, “What do you take the Pei family for?”
“So what do you propose?”
“If you want to sever ties, then you must compensate the Pei family,” Pei elder brother said, his eyes calculating.
“How much?”
“Ten silver taels.”
“Alright,” Pei Xiaoxia nodded.
“No, twenty taels,” Pei elder brother instantly raised the price upon seeing Pei Xiaoxia agree so quickly, “It won’t do with less than twenty taels…”
“Don’t push too far,” Pei Xiaoxia scread, “Do you really want to spill your dirty secrets?”
“Speak up.
What dirty secrets do I have?” Pei elder brother replied with a fearless cold laugh, “Pei Xiaoxia, I’m telling you if you’re short twenty taels, you’ll obediently co back with …”
“Miss,” Pei Xiaoxia suddenly knelt down, “I am willing to sell myself for twenty silver taels.”
“Twenty taels?” Yang Ruxin laughed, “Do you know how much I just paid for a servant?
With twenty taels, I could buy a family of three…”
“See?
My life is cheap; it’s not even worth that much silver,” Pei Xiaoxia smiled, “If you feel the severance is a loss, then I’ll just give my life back to you.” She suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed herself in the stomach.
In the midst of the surrounding gasps, there ca a splat, blood splattered, and she fell to the ground: “Mother…
I…”
“Xiaoxia…” Xiaoxia’s mother exclaid in shock.
“Auntie,” Liang Xiaoyu hurriedly went to hold Pei Xiaoxia, “Quickly call for a doctor…” Then she turned to Yang Ruxin, “Xinxin, please save my auntie…”
Yang Ruxin pretended to check the pulse and then took out so acupuncture needles to stop the bleeding.
“Take her ho and look after her.
The treatnt just now is free, but you’ll need silver for the dicine.”
“Bad luck,” Pei elder brother’s face was filled with rage upon seeing this.
“Take her away quickly, don’t dirty my place,” Yang Ruxin’s face darkened, “If she dies here, I’ll have your lives…”
The mont she finished speaking, Shadow Three and Shadow Seven brandished their weapons and charged forward.
“She’s not dead yet, I agree to sell her, ten taels, ten taels will do…” Pei elder brother shouted, who would want such a burden?
“Carry her away, whoever wants her can have her, don’t co to with false claims, I’m not short of staff…”
“Auntie, that’s your own daughter, how can you be so heartless?” Zhao Xinghua cried out in sorrow, “I really don’t know what your heart is made of?”
Xiaoxia’s mother just wept.
“Mother, hurry and have cousin speak up,” Pei elder brother nudged Xiaoxia’s mother.
“Xinghua, speak to Miss Yang of the Yang family, we are willing to sever ties, any amount will do…”
“Auntie, do you think I’m a fairy?” Zhao Xinghua sneered coldly, “Do people listen to when I speak?
After all, she’s your daughter.
If you want her dead, why should I interfere?” she said, then calling to Xiaoyu, “Let’s go back quickly.
She has such a mother; she should just resign herself to fate.
Maybe death would be her release…”
