“Tsk tsk… So this is the money they earned from selling my son?”
She chuckled, pitying Aunt Wang’s family for their stupidity. Not only them, but Ministry Councilor He’s family were just as silly.
One party dared to give money, and the other dared to accept it and sign an indenture.
“Take it. Use it to buy some snacks for Rong’er and Zheng’er,” Qian Jiyun said as he glanced at the small cloth bundle.
He saw no reason to throw away the money he obtained. Besides, they wanted to cheat his wife of her money. He would not let those vicious people take advantage of them.
“That works too.”
As An Jiuyue knew where the money came from, she looked at the cloth bundle in disdain at the thought that she would be spending it on her children.
But it was still money, right? She needed it and should accept it.
“Actually, there’s no need to investigate Ministry Councilor He. I know what that old man is planning,” she said.
She did not know what he was up to at first but understood when she saw the 50 taels of silver.
“Hm?” Qian Jiyun looked at her and raised his eyebrows in confusion.
“Last spring, my father brought me to town to sell wild animals. We happened to come across Ministry Councilor He, who was hit by a carriage. My father helped him up.
“I did feel that there was something wrong with the way that old man looked at me at that time—”
“He ought to die!”
Qian Jiyun cursed under his breath before An Jiuyue could finish her words.
So that’s what he’s planning! This Ministry Councilor He is really something! Let’s see how far he’ll go!
“Sister-in-law, that can’t be right. It’s been a year since then, right?” Qian Yiyun walked over and asked.
He should have made a move long ago if he wanted to. Why now? A whole year has passed.
An Jiuyue smiled and said proudly, “No one, be it from the town or the county, dared to do anything to me when my father was alive. My father never holds his fists back on anyone.”
Unfortunately, her father, who doted on her, was no longer around.
“I see.” Qian Yiyun understood.
They are bullying her now because her father has passed away. They think she has no one to back her up now.
“Big Brother, we can’t let this matter rest,” she said as she looked at her brother.
Qian Jiyun smiled coldly.
Let it go just like that? How is that possible? He has already set his sights on my wife. If I let it go just like that, what will I become?
“I’ll take care of this,” he said.
An Jiuyue opened her mouth to say something but did not say anything in the end.
Of course, she would not persuade them to let Aunt Wang and her family off. Since they dared to target her, they would have to bear the consequences.
However, she wanted to be the one to make them pay. She was certain that if Qian Jiyun were to do it, it would be simple and violent.
But making them suffer swiftly seemed too good for them, right? She still wanted to torment Ministry Councilor He slowly.
“Jiuyue, do you have something to say?” Qian Jiyun whispered when he saw her hesitation.
“It’s nothing.” An Jiuyue shook her head.
It was extremely chaotic outside now. She should save herself some trouble and let Qian Jiyun deal with them in his way.
