599 Fish Takes the Bait
Su Xiaolu looked at Wang Mian and said calmly, “If I say I’m not satisfied, what will you do?”
Wang Mian frowned and sneered. “If you’re not satisfied, so be it. What can I do? If I can’t use the story to make it cheaper, can’t I use silver to buy it? I’ll pay 20,000 taels and you’ll give me two. I have to stand up too.”
Wang Mian didn’t have much hope. After all, Li Yu and Wang Jiang had already exchanged their stories.
If he said it again, it was normal that the story could not be exchanged for money. It was not that he was not prepared. They all thought that he had been beaten down. What a joke. If Li Yu could pretend, so could he.
With that, Wang Mian bent down, took off his shoes, removed half of his foot, and took out a thick stack of banknotes for Su Xiaolu.
He was actually a disabled person who had lost half a foot to hide money. No one knew this secret.
Wang Mian chuckled. “I was born like this, and my mother has been hiding this matter. My foot has been worth a lot since I was young, so how could I not have a backup plan?”
In time, when he made a comeback, he would definitely return all the humiliation he had suffered. As long as there was a chance, he would definitely trample on Li Yu and Wang Jiang until they never had a chance to make a comeback.
Su Xiaolu only took out 2,000 taels. She smiled faintly and said, “Your story is not bad. You can use it to exchange for medicine.”
She poured divine medicine out for Wang Mian.
Wang Mian was stunned for a moment, then didn’t say anything. He carefully put away the banknotes, then took the medicine and ate it.
After eating, he looked at Su Xiaolu and said, “If you’re willing to help me leave this place, all my money can be used as compensation. I just have to quietly leave and go a hundred miles away.”
There was a burning fire of revenge in his eyes. Even when he looked at Su Xiaolu, he did not hide it.
It was obvious that such a jackal-like person did not know what gratitude was. Even if someone helped him, he might bite off their flesh and eat them up in the future.
Wang Mian was not kind.
Su Xiaolu looked at him and smiled. “Sure.”
She had once promised to save a hundred evil people. Wang Mian was also an evil person, which was exactly what she wanted.
The wicked will be tortured by the wicked, so here they are.
She had saved him to fulfill her previous promise, but she had not said how long she would save him for. Saving him for a moment was saving him. She was giving him hope and then destroying him. There was nothing more painful than this.
Su Xiaolu agreed. Wang Mian was a little surprised, but he couldn’t think too much about it because he had no choice. Coming here was already a gamble.
He had the chance to come because Li Yu went easy on him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even be able to leave the house.
Wang Mian stayed in the inn and was settled upstairs.
He had been watching Su Xiaolu and her master receive many people upstairs, and his eyes flashed with darkness.
This master-disciple pair really earned a lot. They earned so much effortlessly.
In the afternoon, a lady in a gauze hat entered the inn.
When he saw her, Wang Mian’s eyes lit up.
“Hello, I’ll buy the divine medicines in your hands for 50,000 taels.”
Miao Yuehua took out the banknotes from her sleeve and said coldly.
Su Xiaolu looked at her and smiled. “Madam, there’s no hurry. I prefer stories. Madam, why don’t you tell me your story?”
Miao Yuehua was not in the mood to tell a story. She said coldly, “I heard that I can get medicine for 10,000 taels. Is it fake? Are you going back on your words?”
Su Xiaolu tapped her fingers on the table and said calmly, “How can that be? But if the story is good, you might get something else. Anyway, we won’t tell anyone.”
“I’m not interested in telling others about myself. If you sell medicine, I’ll buy it. If you don’t, I’ll leave.”
Miao Yuehua was still unmoving. She was not like those clowns who would tell others about their own matters.
She had no interest in this at all.
Su Xiaolu took out five divine medicine pills and poured them out for Miao Yuehua.
Miao Yuehua put them away and pushed the banknotes away.
Su Xiaolu took them and put them away.
Under the gauze hat, Miao Yuehua’s gaze turned sinister. She said calmly, “Gentlemen, I live in the Xiao Residence on East Street. If you’re interested, you can come to my residence for a gathering.”
It was not so easy to get her money.
Su Xiaolu smiled. “No, Master and I like to stay in the inn. Madam doesn’t look easy to get along with. We won’t take the risk.”
Miao Yuehua curled her lips into a cold smile. She was arrogant and did not say anything else.
Su Xiaolu sent her out and closed the door. Su Xiaolu said, “Master, she’s so vicious. She put something in the banknotes.”
Madam Miao came, but she was not a kind person.
It was originally a silver taels transaction, but she had indeed done something sinister.
Gui You smiled and said, “That’s normal. 50,000 taels is not a small sum. Divine medicine is very valuable. Who doesn’t want all the medicine? There are people who would steal from us, let alone those who will plot against us. That’s because our skills are inferior to others. There are many grudges in the martial world. However, it’s hard to say who has the toughest bones. We’re not afraid of her biting the hook, but we’re afraid that she won’t bite the hook.”
Gui You narrowed his eyes and said to Su Xiaolu, “Go out and tell people that she has bought all the pills. We don’t have any left. Let’s close the stall.”
The person who should have taken the bait had already taken the bait, so there was no need to sell the pills anymore.
If Madam Miao wanted to scheme, so be it.
Su Xiaolu smiled evilly, nodded, and went out as soon as she opened the door.
Looking at the departing carriage not far away, Su Xiaolu said loudly, “Gentlemen of Yulin, the divine medicine that Master and I obtained have been sold out. That madam was really generous just now, so the story exchanges end here.”
When people heard this, they immediately erupted.
If there was nothing else, then there was no chance for them.
They sighed in regret.
Some people also noticed what Su Xiaolu said. In the end, someone had already begun to investigate the lady who left.
It shouldn’t be hard for them to steal from a woman without superpowers.
When Miao Yuehua heard Su Xiaolu’s words from afar, she gritted her teeth and cursed. Then, she instructed the coachman to speed up.
She had to quickly take this divine medicine back.
Nothing was better than eating it.
She knew that this thing was good the moment she touched it.
After returning to the residence, Miao Yuehua went straight to the small courtyard. There was the sound of martial arts training in the small courtyard. Her expression was gentle as she looked at her son waving his fists.
“Yi’er, come. Mother will give you something good to eat.”
Miao Yuehua did not want to wait, so she stuffed three pills into Xiao Yi’s mouth.
She also ate two taels.
As soon as they ate it, several unfriendly people arrived.
There was also someone holding her husband hostage. Father Xiao looked flustered. With a big belly, he begged Miao Yuehua for help. “Madam, save me.”
Miao Yuehua took off her veiled hat, revealing her stunningly beautiful face. Her expression was cold, and she did not look at her husband. Instead, she protected her son, Xiao Yi, and said in a deep voice, “The medicine has already been eaten by us. That master and disciple are lying. They clearly still have a big bottle.”
