Chapter 458 What do you want from me?
But when he saw Chen Baoyu walking back without looking back behind the two of them, he subconsciously asked:
"Why are you here?"
It’s not that he wants to be nosy, but this is the entrance to a brothel.
Also, Chen Baoyu looked worried and frightened just now, and it was obvious that he was afraid of something.
Looking at the way they are dressed, if you think about it for a moment you will know what they are really thinking.
Thinking of this, Liu Shiquan's eyes changed when he looked at Ma Meizi.
"You want to sell Chen Baoyu?"
"I'm her mother, I can do whatever I want. Why, you want to interfere in this too?" Ma Meizi said with her neck stiff.
Hearing this, Liu Shiquan immediately pointed his index finger at her and said, "You...you are simply..."
"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me selling my own daughter? It's okay if you don't let me sell it, so just give me the money."
Having said that, Ma Meizi looked Liu Shiquan up and down a few times before continuing:
"I have been to your Liu Mansion many times, but have you ever seen me? If you had seen me, how could I have ended up like this?"
"You want to see me? Well, I'm here now. What do you want from me? Tell me!" Liu Shiquan said gritting his teeth.
If he didn't know their relationship with Chen Wanruo, he would have felt disgusted to even say a word to her.
What's more, although Chen Wanruo has ascended the throne, it is a fact that the government is now unstable.
On the surface, everyone respects her.
But that's just on the surface.
In fact, everyone was afraid to speak because of the saddle horse in her hand.
It was only after they witnessed Chen Wanruo's methods and her wisdom in handling the disaster in the past two days that the voices of resistance gradually subsided.
But Liu Shiquan himself knew very well that these were only temporary.
Chen Wanruo cannot make any mistakes. If she does, she will be subjected to more abuse from others.
Therefore, he has been trying his best to distance himself from Chen Hongan's affairs.
Not only did he want to clear himself of the matter, he also wanted to clear Chen Wanruo's name as well.
Now, she not only has to take care of King Zhan, but also has to compete with those old thieves in the court.
Things have been better over this period of time.
Of course, it was only after she raided the Shangshu Mansion in public that they became much more obedient.
The court, which had finally settled down, was disturbed by Ma Meizi's actions. Who knows what kind of unfavorable words would be spread that would be unfavorable to Chen Wanruo.
Thinking of this, Liu Shiquan winked at Liu Er beside him.
Liu Er understood and immediately took out a silver ingot from his pocket and handed it to Ma Meizi.
"This is what our Lord Liu gave you out of our previous friendship. Don't be ungrateful, otherwise..."
"Hey, Master Zhang, are you sending away beggars?" Before Liu Er could finish his words, Zhang Jianding on the side interrupted him.
Hearing this, Zhang Er subconsciously glanced at the silver in his hand.
This ingot of silver is quite a lot, a full five taels.
Originally, Ma Meizi's eyes lit up when she saw the silver ingot.
But after hearing Zhang Jianding's words, he immediately withdrew his gaze.
He said with an indifferent look:
"That's right. You don't think that this ingot of silver can get rid of me? I tell you, you are dreaming."
"You evil woman, this silver is given to you by our master out of kindness. If he doesn't give it to you, you will get nothing."
After trying hard to hold it in, Liu Er couldn't help but say it out loud.
Liu Shiquan also waved his hands after seeing Ma Meizi's expression and walked towards the Liu Mansion.
Seeing this, Ma Meizi suddenly became anxious.
Without thinking, he chased after him, "Liu Shiquan, Liu Shiquan, wait a minute, I want, I want..."
But Liu Shiquan acted as if he didn't hear her words. He just paused slightly and continued walking forward.
Liu Er was left standing there waiting for Ma Meizi.
Liu Shiquan didn't even bother to say a word to such a woman.
"Give it to me!" Ma Meizi spread out her palm and placed it in front of Liu Er.
"What to take?" Liu Er asked deliberately.
"What do you want to take? Of course it's the silver ingot just now. That's my silver!" Ma Meizi said as a matter of course.
"Yours? When did that ingot of silver become yours?" Liu Er asked back.
After saying this, he threw the silver ingot up again and continued:
"Five taels of silver is nothing to us, and it would have been fine to give it to you, but your attitude just now made us very upset, so he decided not to give it to you."
"Don't even think about arguing with him. I tell you, it's useless. Also, you'd better stay away from Zhang Jianding. He's not a good person."
After saying this, Liu Er turned around and left.
In his words, such a woman is simply greedy.
Five taels of silver is an amount that many people cannot earn in a year, or even in several years.
Now that adults gave it to her without any thought, she is still not satisfied.
"Stop, stop right there!" Ma Meizi shouted at Liu Er.
However, Liu Er acted as if he didn't hear her words and walked away without looking back.
"Liu Er, you beast... stop right there!" Ma Meizi continued to shout with her hands on her waist.
Her voice was so loud that it attracted quite a few villagers to watch.
But now Ma Meizi has long disregarded her image, let alone face.
There is no face left any longer.
So even if people were watching, it would not affect her cursing at all.
Seeing this, Zhang Jianding, who was not far away, immediately glanced at Zhang Yi next to him.
It is basically impossible for him to step forward at this time.
Zhang Yi understood and walked towards Ma Meizi without thinking.
"This... I don't know what to call it..."
"What else do you want to do?" Ma Meizi thought that the villagers came to persuade her to stop making trouble, so she turned around and scolded them.
As a result, when he saw that it was Zhang Yishi, he immediately stopped talking and asked with a smile:
"That's your master, right? His last name is Zhang, right? As far as I know, the Zhang Mansion in the capital is only Zhang Jianding, right?"
Ma Meizi was once from an official family in the capital. Although he was not her husband, she had heard of him to some extent.
Mr. Zhang Jianding is the Junior Secretary of the Chancellery, and is of the fourth rank.
He is of the same level as Liu Shiquan today. It has to be said that he is indeed the height that Ma Meizi today needs to look up to.
If she could have such a relationship, would she still have lived a life where she had no food to eat?
