Chapter 1472 - 1467: How Much Is This Girl Worth?
In the private room of Jiu Si Xuan in the county, as soon as Mu Xiaxia entered, she saw a middle-aged man dressed in splendid clothes sitting in the center of the north.
The man had a corpulent figure, his belly round and full, and upon seeing her, a gleam appeared in his eyes that was extremely unpleasant.
It resembled the look of those selecting meat when she accompanied her second aunt to the market.
"Auntie..." Mu Xiaxia looked fearfully at Mrs. Jin.
"Good child, don’t be afraid, this is Landlord Yang, quickly call Mr. Yang!"
Mrs. Jin’s face was beaming, her smile radiant.
But the more Mrs. Jin behaved like this, the more frightened Mu Xiaxia felt.
Her hands and feet turned slightly weak.
Nonetheless, she timidly called out: "Yang... Mr. Yang!"
"Ah~ it’s Xiaxia, isn’t it? Come, sit here!" Landlord Yang squeezed out a smile he thought was kind, yet it was extremely lecherous.
"No... no need! I’m fine sitting here!" Mu Xiaxia pointed to the spot furthest from Landlord Yang.
Landlord Yang’s expression instantly fell.
He gave a meaningful glance at Mrs. Jin, and Mrs. Jin immediately understood.
She promptly said to Mu Xiaxia, "Xiaxia, sit next to Landlord Yang, there’s just the three of us at this table, sitting so far is impolite!"
Although Mu Xiaxia was unwilling, since Mrs. Jin had said so, she had no way to refuse.
Otherwise, she would truly be considered impolite.
After sitting next to Landlord Yang, Mu Xiaxia noticed that his gaze remained fixed on her.
Not blinking at all!
Mu Xiaxia usually had little contact with young men, let alone middle-aged men like him.
So her face immediately flushed red, her head buried deep in her chest, not daring to lift it.
Seeing Mu Xiaxia’s simple reaction, Landlord Yang was convinced that this girl was an inexperienced maiden.
"Xiaxia, in the village, is there anyone you’re betrothed to?" Landlord Yang asked.
While speaking, he intentionally leaned his body towards Mu Xiaxia, so that when he finished speaking, half of his body was almost against Mu Xiaxia.
Feeling someone beside her, a man, Mu Xiaxia trembled all over, looking towards Mrs. Jin for help.
Mrs. Jin rolled her eyes, thinking that she shouldn’t scare the girl too much for now.
"Landlord Yang, Xiaxia is a pure girl from the Old Mu Family, never betrothed to anyone. Whether in character or virtue, she is quite good!" Mrs. Jin said.
Landlord Yang nodded repeatedly, "I can see that, I can see that!"
"Xiaxia, what do you like? Food, things, clothes, anything!" Landlord Yang suddenly asked.
Mu Xiaxia was startled, then shook her head, "Mr. Yang, I don’t want anything!"
That callout of "Mr." was like a spring aphrodisiac to Landlord Yang; his whole body went soft.
He looked at Mu Xiaxia, almost drooling.
"How can you not want anything? Don’t like gold jewelry? Don’t like jade bracelets? Don’t like silk and satin?"
With many concubines, Landlord Yang surely knew what women liked.
"Whatever you like, I’ll buy it for you. If you like everything, then I’ll buy it all!"
Landlord Yang was extremely generous to Mu Xiaxia.
Mrs. Jin was very pleased with this sight.
It’s good if he likes her; she was really afraid Landlord Yang wouldn’t like the girl.
"No... there’s no need, I don’t like anything!" Mu Xiaxia shook her head desperately.
"Silly girl, trying to save me money. Look at your little hand, all cracked, not soft at all!"
Suddenly, Landlord Yang grabbed Mu Xiaxia’s hand, stroking it back and forth.
Mu Xiaxia jerked back her hand as if electrocuted.
"Auntie, I want to leave, I need to go to the restroom!" Mu Xiaxia said to Mrs. Jin, pale-faced.
Mrs. Jin nodded, "Go!"
As soon as Mrs. Jin nodded, Mu Xiaxia quickly fled the private room.
At the moment she left, Landlord Yang’s expression changed.
"Mrs. Mu, what does this mean? Why didn’t you let me touch that girl?" Landlord Yang asked.
"Landlord Yang, this matter can’t be decided by me alone!
Though that girl is only a distant relative, she is still family, and I can’t just let her be taken advantage of carelessly.
So, I can only let her leave, give me some time, and we can discuss the girl’s future, Landlord Yang." Mrs. Jin spoke deliberately, sounding quite convincing.
But who is Landlord Yang?
When he was doing business in the county, Mrs. Jin didn’t even know if she was born yet.
"Let’s cut to the chase. Say, what price are you asking to sell this girl!" Landlord Yang went straight to the point.
"Landlord Yang, this girl can’t be sold. Her parents pleaded with me to take good care of her, and besides, given my status now, I can’t sell my relative!"
Mrs. Jin said every word with false sincerity.
Strangely, Landlord Yang didn’t actually get angry.
Because he increasingly felt that Mrs. Jin approached him with a purpose.
Landlord Yang loved dealing with flawed people in his life, making transactions.
Greed, anger, ignorance, hatred, it’s best if they all have them, this kind of person is easiest to control.
"Mrs. Mu, the pants are off, don’t just give me hot air—tell me, how much for you to sell!" Landlord Yang reiterated.
Mrs. Jin couldn’t help but rejoice internally. She hadn’t expected that Mu Xiaxia would be so valuable, valuable enough that Landlord Yang allowed her to name her price freely.
"No money needed, but... Landlord Yang should support us in the future!" Mrs. Jin said calmly.
"Support us? What do you mean?" Landlord Yang was puzzled.
"Xiaxia is to enter a brothel; if Landlord Yang truly likes her, go to the brothel to book her privately and give her more business!"
After hearing Mrs. Jin’s words, Landlord Yang looked at her differently in a mere moment.
This woman, ruthless enough!
She’ll surely achieve something in the future!
To be honest, Landlord Yang didn’t really want to come here at first.
At least, he thought that Mrs. Jin, relying on Mu Dade’s status or anything else, wasn’t qualified to compare with him.
But no matter the facts or any other reasons, he was persuaded by her words and seemed captivated by the young girl she introduced!
Unsurprisingly, Landlord Yang was determined to have this girl.
"Landlord Yang, a wife doesn’t compare to a concubine, and a concubine doesn’t compare to a secret tryst! Xiaxia entering the brothel is the only way you can keep favoring her, plus you know yourself, once a woman is married and in the backyard, everything changes.
Not as obedient as before. Landlord Yang, you might not lack money, nor women, but you lack a woman like Xiaxia who always stays true to herself!"
Mrs. Jin wasn’t dealing with Landlord Yang for the first time.
Moreover, she spent a lot of money privately to understand Landlord Yang, so she knew his temperament clearly.
Mu Xiaxia would become her money tree, and she would capture the first customer!
