"What?" The younger Mrs. Juan was stunned. "On what grounds? You might as well rob..."
"Heh, on the grounds that you’ve delayed my business," Yang Ruxin smiled slightly, "If you want to deny the debt, that’s fine. Then I will report it to the Governor’s Office. I’m conducting legitimate business; why should anyone who fancies it co and make trouble? How am I supposed to live?"
"You... don’t scare . I’m here to find my daughter. What can you accuse of? When the county magistrate cos, justice has to be served..."
The surrounding crowd imdiately erupted into discussion, but no longer with the schadenfreude of before, since most of them knew who Yang Ruxin was – the foster daughter of the county official. She was not soone ordinary people could afford to provoke.
"I have the Divorce Docunt right here." Yang Ruxin took out a piece of paper from her backpack and unfolded it, "Your fingerprint is on it, just in case you decided to renege. So, this has been officially recorded with the Governor’s Office..."
The younger Mrs. Juan was imdiately stricken with guilt and wanted to seek advice from her son, but when she looked towards the crowd, she found Boss Pei lowering his head, pretending to be a quail and completely ignoring her no matter how she looked, which made her frantic: "You... why are you so malicious? It was you who deceived my daughter into getting the Divorce Docunt. What sins have I committed? To bully a lonely, widowed old woman, I might as well die..."
"Go ahead then, die," Yang Ruxin nodded, then glanced at the crowd, "Everyone, please step back and give the old lady so space to hit the wall..."
The crowd seriously drew back several steps.
"Co on, bash your head against it and split your brains out..." Yang Ruxin pointed at the stone wall.
"I..."
"Or else I have poison here, the kind that seizes your throat upon contact with blood." Yang Ruxin took out a porcelain bottle, "This dicine is very expensive, but I won’t charge you for it. Swallow it, and your blood will pour out of all seven orifices imdiately..."
The younger Mrs. Juan hurriedly shook her head.
"Not willing to die? Then what the hell are you making a scene for here?" Yang Ruxin’s expression suddenly darkened.
The younger Mrs. Juan shuddered with fear and, seeing the situation all around her, realized that things weren’t going to end well today. All of a sudden, she drew back her lips: "Oh my, there’s no justice left, I can’t go on living..."
"You wretched old woman," Du Man suddenly stepped forward and drew the treasure sword in one swift motion, "If you wail again, I’ll cut out your tongue."
The younger Mrs. Juan imdiately shut her mouth.
"It was you who sold your own daughter, walking away with ten taels of silver. What now? After squandering the silver, you’ve co to extort money from our young lady?" Du Man snorted coldly, "My young lady has a kind heart, but that doesn’t an she’s kind to just anyone... Liang Zi, go report to the authorities; we can’t let just anyone co and disgust my young mistress..."
"Right away." Liang Zi heard the order and turned to run.
"Hey..." The younger Mrs. Juan attempted to grab Liang Zi, but he had already run out of sight, making her completely panic. She turned to run as well.
"Old hag, if you run now, when the governnt officers arrive, your precious son will have to go to jail." Du Juan patted Boss Pei’s shoulder, "But, you are mother and son after all, it makes no difference who ends up in prison..."
Boss Pei wailed out loud.
The younger Mrs. Juan indeed stopped in her tracks and turned back to look at Boss Pei apprehensively.
"This has nothing to do with ." Boss Pei knelt down on the ground with a thump, raising his hand to point at the younger Mrs. Juan, "It was her... she’s the one who ca to make a scene. Pei Xiaoxia is her own daughter, it has nothing to do with ..."
