Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

Ye Jintang squeezed into the crowd and just saw the thugs rolling up their sleeves and preparing to beat someone up.

"stop."

"Hey, sir, do you want to stand up for Miss Xiangru?"

When Nanny Chu heard the voice and looked over, she was obviously stunned for a moment. What a handsome young man.

Seeing that Ye Jintang was young and dressed in gorgeous clothes, she quickly calculated in her mind that a girl with such a strong temper like Xiangru would probably not survive even if she was forcibly taken back. It would be nice if she could sell her to the young master in front of her.

"So what? I don't know what big mistake Miss Xiangru made that Madam had to torture her like this."

Nanny Chu smiled calmly, pointed to the Anxiang Building behind her and said, "Xiangru is a new girl in our building. She doesn't listen to me, so I will naturally teach her a lesson."

"Sir, help me."

Xiangru, who was beaten half to death, struggled to stand up and grabbed the corner of Ye Jintang's clothes.

"You are a slut who has lost your virginity. Do you think anyone would want you? Now you better go back to Anxiang Tower and learn to sing well. You will definitely enjoy wealth and glory in the future."

The thug cursed Xiangru while reaching out to pull her away by force. If Ye Jintang hadn't stood in front of her, she would have wanted to kick Xiangru.

Nanny Chu at the side glared at the thug viciously, cursing him in her heart for being so short-sighted. If he revealed Xiangru's past, she wouldn't be able to sell her at a good price.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Miss Xiangru just doesn't like to learn to sing, so she suffered a little. Our Xiangru has a good voice. As long as she practices well, she may become the top singer of our Anxianglou in the future."

"Master, please save me. I would rather work like a cow or a horse for you for the rest of my life than go back to Anxiang Tower. Please be kind to me."

Xiangru held on tightly to the corner of Ye Jintang's clothes and refused to let go. She was afraid that if she missed this opportunity, only death would be waiting for her.

Just from the few words of Nanny Chu, Ye Jintang vaguely guessed that Anxiang Tower was not a good place.

"Madam Chu, I wonder how much it will cost to redeem Miss Xiangru?"

Nanny Chu glanced at Ye Jintang, then at Xiangru who was kneeling on the ground.

"Xiang Ru is a courtesan. Young master, you should think clearly. If you want to take the imperial examination in the future, having a woman of low status serving you will affect your career."

Nanny Chu seemed to be kindly reminding Ye Jintang, but in fact she was testing her sincerity so that she could sell Xiangru for a good price later.

If Ye Jintang knew that Xiangru was a court prostitute but still wanted to redeem her, then Nanny Chu would have to take out the Dragon Slaying Sword.

"I don't care about these things, Madam, just name a price."

"Okay, since you are a straightforward person, I will not use any empty words with you. I will give you 100 taels of silver. If you feel it is okay, you can pay the silver now and take the person away."

When Ye Jintang heard Nanny Chu asking for 100 taels of silver, he was so angry that he laughed.

"Madam Chu, you are taking me for a fool, thinking that I am a ignorant boy."

"It only costs 6 taels of silver to buy a pretty little girl from a matchmaker, but you're asking for 100 taels right away. Isn't that a bit too much?"

"Well, young master, you don't know that Miss Xiangru has a good voice and is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. If she wasn't so stubborn, she would definitely become famous in Xingnan City if she was properly trained in the future."

Nanny Chu wanted to argue, but Ye Jintang interrupted her.

"Madam Chu, please stop bullying me because I am young. This Miss Xiangru must have suffered a lot of dirty tricks from the Anxiang Tower. If she is still alive, you can still sell her for a good price. If she dies, you will not get a penny."

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xiangru ran out of Anxiang Tower with the determination to die.

She would either die on the street today, or be dragged back to Anxiang Tower by Nanny Chu and die in the building. She never thought about seeing the sun tomorrow.

Nanny Chu has worked in Anxiang Tower for many years, so she naturally guessed some of Xiangru's thoughts.

"Since you really want Xiangru, just give her 80 taels of silver. I'm not unreasonable."

"10 taels. I won't give you one more copper coin."

"I feel sorry for Miss Xiangru, but there are so many pitiful people in this world, and I can't take care of them all."

"Besides, it doesn't matter if I give you 10 taels of silver or 80 taels. Miss Xiangru has so many injuries on her body. I'm afraid 80 taels won't be enough to see a doctor or get some medicine."

"What if Master Ben takes the person back, and the money is spent, but the person is gone? That would be a huge loss."

"I have a kind heart, but I am not a living Buddha. What do you think, Madam Chu?"

Nanny Chu was speechless after hearing what Ye Jintang said. She opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word.

What could she say? She also felt that what Ye Jintang said made sense.

"Sir, 10 taels of silver is really too little. I have fed Xiangru well for two months. You can't let me lose money."

"That's none of my business. It was Madam who was so cruel and beat the man half to death."

While the two were talking, Xiangru fainted at some point and her life or death was unknown.

Nanny Chu gritted her teeth secretly and finally stopped talking nonsense to Ye Jintang.

"10 taels is 10 taels. Please wait a moment, I will go get Miss Xiangru's indenture contract."

Nanny Chu was afraid that Xiangru was really dead, so she quickly took out Xiangru's indenture contract.

Zhou Cong stepped forward and handed over a small ingot, then showed the indenture to Ye Jintang.

"Lüzhu, Lianqiao, help Miss Xiangru get on the carriage."

Ye Jintang didn't expect that he would come out to shop and watch the fun, and he could save a girl halfway.

Xiangru was seriously injured and naturally could not go back to Wan'an Tower, so the group could only return to the Wen family first.

Wen Ziqiu stood in the crowd and saw everything. He originally wanted to go up and help, but later found that Ye Jintang was much stronger than he thought, and not as soft as she looked.

Xiangru was injured more seriously than imagined, and she was carried into the Wen family's backyard.

Wen Ziqiu called the best doctor in Xingnan City to treat her.

"Master Wen, this girl is seriously injured. If you want to cure her completely, I'm afraid it will require a lot of expensive medicinal herbs. As long as you can keep her alive for one more day, there will be a great chance that she will survive."

"Thank you, Doctor Liu. No matter what expensive herbs they are, just prescribe them."

Ye Jintang on the side immediately took out a thousand-year-old ginseng and handed it to Doctor Liu.

"I wonder if my ginseng can be of any use."

Doctor Liu was also an expert. He took one look and said, "It would be great if we could give the girl thousand-year-old ginseng."

"I don't know how to take it. Please ask Doctor Liu to write a prescription."

"Okay, first cut a piece of ginseng and put it in the girl's mouth to save her life. I will write the prescription now."

Doctor Liu finished writing the prescription in a short while, using nearly half of a ginseng plant to make six sets of medicine.

"Take the medicine for two days and see how it goes. If the girl doesn't have a fever, she will get better if she takes good care of herself."

Ye Jintang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Xiangru could be saved.
