Xu Yao struggled desperately and said, "Young Master, my young lady seems to be determined to return the things to you. If I bring them back and she finds out, she will throw them out and punish me. Young Master, please don't make things difficult for me."

She handed the box over with great pain, hoping that he would throw it back.

Unexpectedly, Pei Shuo returned it and said, "Good girl, please keep it for me for the time being. When I get back on good terms with your young lady in the future, I will definitely need your help."

After saying that, he left in a hurry. Xu Yao felt so angry that his heart ached. He really missed a chance to make a fortune.

Are those bosses in novels and TV shows who, when lovers have an angry quarrel, always say just throw it away and take advantage of passers-by, all fake?

Xu Yao complained in his heart and went back with his things in a bad mood.

But when she passed by a bank, she changed her mind.

One was for her to return and the other for her to keep. In that case, it would definitely be inappropriate for her to take it back. It would be better for her to keep it in the bank first. When there was no hope of reconciliation between the two of them in the future, she could take the opportunity to embezzle the money.

Thinking of this, Xu Yao deposited the things in the bank. With the deposit slip in hand, he felt at ease in the Liu family.

But before she had walked far, the sense of danger of being followed came to her mind again, running from her neck to her brain, giving her goose bumps.

Xu Yao looked down at the goose bumps on the back of her hand, smiled lightly, and walked further and further away. She wanted to see which bastard dared to follow her from behind.

When they were in a secluded place, a man suddenly appeared in front of them. He looked so sneaky that she thought he was a demon. The man smiled evilly, and Xu Yao showed panic in response, and turned around and wanted to run.

As a result, someone had already blocked the intersection behind him, and he was attacked from both sides.

Xu Yao was terrified and asked timidly, "What do you want to do?"

The two men felt even more proud when they saw her timid look.

"My dear, we are very envious of you wearing the golden dress, and we want to borrow some money from you."

Xu Yao: "Are you begging for food?"

As he spoke, he trembled as he took out a copper coin from his pocket and threw it on the ground, saying weakly, "Here."

The copper coins fell to the ground with a clinking sound, which made the two of them confused.

One person laughed angrily: "You really think I'm a beggar. I wouldn't even give a penny to a dog."

Xu Yao was surprised, but still looked silly: "Then...I'll pick it up and give it to the dog to try?"

"You're fucking kidding me! Hurry up and take out your banknotes. I saw you go into the bank just now, and when you came out, you had banknotes in your hand." One of them tried to intimidate Xu Yao viciously.

Xu Yao was surprised: "Your mouse eyes are wrong, I went to deposit something, not to withdraw banknotes."

"Are you laughing at my small eyes?" He hated it most when people laughed at his small eyes.

Xu Yao: "So telling the truth is also wrong?"

"I asked you to tell the truth!" As he said that, he slapped him, but it didn't hit Xu Yao's face, but strangely hit his brother's face.

"Brother, why did you hit me?"

Rat Eyes was surprised, "No...No, I want to beat her."

As he said that, he tried to hit Xu Yao again. Xu Yao lowered his head to avoid him. Rat Eyes slapped him on the wall, and Xu Yao screamed in pain.

"What the hell are you hiding for?"

"You should hide when you are beaten. Didn't your mother teach you that?"

"Bullshit, you dare to play tricks on me?"

"No need to hide? Then let me try." Xu Yao said as he slapped the man, knocking him to the ground with a spinning motion, his eyes shining with golden light.

"You....you dare to hit me?"

"You didn't hide. Your mother taught me differently from my mother." Xu Yao said sincerely.

"Third brother, beat her up. Beat this bitch to death."

The third brother finally reacted, but before he could get close to Xu Yao, he was kicked to the ground by her.

The two men were furious and decided to severely humiliate this little bitch. Not only would they rob her of her belongings, they would also take turns humiliating her and finally sell her to the lowest-class brothel.

But after a while, the two men fell to the ground with bruised faces and noses, begging for mercy from Xu Yao nervously and fearfully.

"Auntie, we were wrong. We didn't recognize the great man. Please be magnanimous and let us go."

Xu Yao stretched out his hand calmly. The two were stunned for a moment. Rat Eyes reached out his hand, thinking he was going to pull him up.

Xu Yao slapped him away and stared at the two of them with a half-smile. The third brother was the first to react and handed over the purse. Mouse Eyes was also scared and reluctantly took out the purse.

Xu Yao weighed it over and pointed at Mouse Eyes' belt: "Anything else?"

"Auntie, it's really gone."

As soon as Xu Yao raised his hand, Mouse Eyes begged for mercy in fear, took off his belt from his waist, and took out a small piece of silver, weighing about one or two taels.

Xu Yao nodded in satisfaction and said to the two of them, "You two are so stupid that you can't make a living by robbing people. You'd better find a job. Otherwise, if I see you bullying a young lady again next time, I will break your hands and feet and let you beg on the street. Do you understand?"

If they hadn't experienced what happened just now, they would never have believed that such a delicate girl could be so cruel. If she had used a little more force, their hands and feet would have really been broken.

After hearing Xu Yao's words, he immediately nodded rapidly and vowed never to do such sneaky and robbing things again.

Xu Yao left with satisfaction and bought a roast chicken on the way back. When she returned home, it was indeed past dinner time at the Liu family and the kitchen had left no food for her.

When Quan'er saw her come back, she took out the steamed buns she had left for her, and Cook Zhao also took out a small bowl of leftovers that she had hidden away.

"Where have you been? You didn't come back until dinner time."

Xu Yao smiled, took out the roast chicken he brought back, and handed it to Quan'er. Quan'er was delighted: "Where did you get it from?"

"I went out to do some errands for the young lady, and I bought it outside. Don't worry, Sister Zhao, I didn't starve myself."

Quan'er looked at her mother, asking if she could eat it. Cook Zhao nodded, and quickly tore off a leg for her mother, another for Xu Yao, and then for herself.

Xu Yao didn't want it. She must have eaten her fill outside before coming back. She was spending the money offered by others and didn't feel sorry at all.

Seeing that she really didn't want it, Quan'er started eating with peace of mind. Chef Zhao pulled Xu Yao aside and said, "What errand did the young lady ask you to do?"

"She asked me to return all the things that the young master gave her."

Mrs. Zhao was surprised: "Young lady, what are you doing? Everyone in the capital knows that the young master is in love with her, why are you making a fuss all of a sudden?"

Xu Yao whispered, "I don't know either, but I think she seems to have had some brain damage since she fell into the water. Do you think she was really possessed?"

Mrs. Zhao nodded and agreed. "Maybe someone cursed her with evil magic. I heard that Aunt Huang was like that before. She was fine at first, but one day she became crazy and behaved abnormally. Not long after, she hanged herself. At that time, the eldest lady was only one year old. Poor thing."

Xu Yao paused and asked, "Is there such a sorcery in this world?"
