Chapter 175: Watching the Fun in the Teahouse
Number One quickly stopped, turned his head stiffly, and waited for Song An Ning's next instruction.
"Stuff the rags from her body into her mouth and wrap them around her wrists to prevent the blood from flowing out.
Don't rush back after you go there, and see how the Qian family reacts."
"Yes!"
After No. 1 had dealt with all these, he put Mrs. Qian in a sack and sped away.
He used Qinggong the whole time and was extremely fast. The people on the street only felt that a figure holding a big bag flashed past them and went towards the east of the city.
"Auntie, let's go out in a carriage and see what's going on."
After leaving on the 1st, Song An Ning prepared to find a carriage and take Song Juaner to visit the Qian family.
Unexpectedly, Song Juaner shook her head firmly and said crisply, "Aning, I want to walk. I haven't been outside for a long time."
"Okay, let's walk over there slowly."
She knew that Song Juan'er's heart had opened up a little, and it was worth her time and money spent on dealing with Madam Qian.
Along the way, Song Juan'er held Song An Ning's arm, and her complexion looked much better.
At first, she was a little uncomfortable seeing so many people on the street, and she lowered her head inadvertently, fearing that others would recognize her.
Gradually, her attention was attracted by the shops and small vendors on both sides of the street. Before she went to the Qian family, she seldom came to the town because her family had little money.
After going to Qian's house, I had no chance to go out. Sometimes when I looked through the crack of the door to see the hustle and bustle outside, I would be scolded for being restless.
Now, she and Aning walk freely on the street. It turns out that everything in the town is better than she imagined.
"Aning, thank you, auntie, really..."
Song Juan'er was a little incoherent. She knew that everything that happened today was done by Aning on her behalf in order to avenge her.
"You are my aunt, it is my duty to do this for you.
Moreover, I met Mrs. Qian in the jewelry shop last time and we had some conflicts. If I hadn't treated her like that, she would have wanted to sell me to a brothel in the west of the city.
A lady who keeps talking about whores and prostitutes, so I'll let her experience it for herself."
"Well, she was always thinking about harming others, and now she's become like this, it can be said that she is reaping the consequences."
Along the way, the aunt and niece bought sugar figures, peach blossom cakes, and some other small items that young women liked.
"This is the happiest day I've had in recent years. I'll remember your kindness."
Song An Ning gently bumped her shoulder, indicating that it was nothing. They ate and walked along the way. When they arrived at the Qian family's door, there was already a circle of people there, pointing at the person on the ground and whispering.
"Who is so wicked? Throwing a beggar at someone's front door is really bad luck."
"What beggar? Open your eyes and take a good look. Isn't this the wife of the Qian family?"
"What? How could she be the Qian family's wife? It looks like she was kidnapped by bandits."
"Haven't you heard? The Qian family's wife disappeared inexplicably on the street more than ten days ago. The Qian family has been searching for her for a long time, but judging by the situation, it seems she's gone..."
More and more people came. Song Anning looked around and found that there was a teahouse not far from the Qian family's gate. It was just right to watch the fun there.
"Hey, we want a private room on the third floor. How much is it?"
The waiter at the teahouse saw that they were two girls. Although they were dressed casually, the pearl flowers on Song Juaner's head were not cheap, so they should be able to pay for the price of a private room.
He smiled and said, "The room on the third floor costs two taels of silver, and four plates of snacks will be given as a gift. Look, young lady..."
Song Anning took out a five-liang silver ingot from her purse and placed it in the boy's hand:
"A pot of good black tea."
"Hey, ladies, please go upstairs."
Song Juan'er was shocked that Song An Ning casually took out five taels of silver. Is her niece already so rich?
After thinking about it carefully, Aning had done so much business with Zuixianju and had even dug up ginseng, so she really didn't need this little money, so she let Song Anning pull her upstairs.
They found a room with a good view and sat down. The window was half open. The two of them sat at a small table in front of the window, eating snacks and drinking tea, and looking at the situation outside from time to time.
This place is not far from the Qian family, and Xiangxiang can just see the situation of the house.
It was also a coincidence that Mr. Qian was at home today and there were guests at home discussing business. When he heard the report from the doorman, his face became extremely gloomy.
The guest was also someone who could read people's expressions. Combined with what happened to the Qian family more than ten days ago, he guessed about 70% of the situation. After saying a few more words, he made an excuse that he had to go to West Street to do something and left directly through the small door on the west side.
Seeing his guest like that, how could Mr. Qian not understand that he was trying to save his face? He was so angry that he transferred all his anger to the servant.
"Crack, snap!"
After slapping him a few times, he angrily cursed, "You ignorant bastard, can't you see I'm talking business? You're so embarrassed to come in and complain about such a trivial matter? Aren't you?"
The servant knelt on the ground feeling extremely wronged, but he dared not cry. He could only whisper back, "But the person outside the door is indeed Madam..."
Master Qian clenched his fists and said angrily, "Shut up!"
Afterwards, he went to the main gate angrily and ordered people to open the gate a little bit. When he saw the person on the ground clearly, his pupils suddenly shrank. Then he ordered people to guard the gate and no one was allowed to open it.
The people who came downstairs to watch the excitement surrounded the Qian family's front door so tightly that no one could get in or out. The guests in the two rooms next to the teahouse were also watching the excitement.
The windows were open and I could vaguely hear their conversation.
"She's really the Qian family's wife. I recognize her. Her family doesn't have much money, yet she's so arrogant. This is retribution, hahahaha..."
“There are so many families in this town, and she is so mean. I don’t know how many people have died in Mr. Qian’s backyard.
I heard that those concubines were tortured to death, and some were left with nothing."
"Which kind person did this? It's so satisfying.
Two months ago, my wife and sister ordered clothes from a tailor shop and paid the money.
When the old woman saw the clothes, she forced the shopkeeper to sell them to her. My wife complained about this for several days.
"She sees that your business isn't doing well, and when she goes up against those wealthy families, she wants to kneel down and lick their shoes.
Now seeing her like this, I feel really happy."
After hearing these words, Song An Ning raised her eyebrows meaningfully. She didn't expect that her actions would attract so many people to discuss.
However, the more people who come, the better. She will never easily forgive those who have hurt her. Even Song Zeyuan and Song Anyue have had a slightly different position in her heart, not to mention a vicious woman who wants to make her life worse than death.
Mrs. Qian had her tongue cut and she fainted from the pain just now.
When she heard the noise around her, she opened her eyes and saw her exposed body and hundreds of people watching the excitement not far away.
She was a person who always had her eyes on the top of her head, and she fainted when she saw this scene.
After an incense stick of time passed, the Qian family's door was still closed, as if the person outside had nothing to do with them.
At this time, a carriage slowly approached. The driver saw so many people in front of his house and cursed arrogantly:
"Everyone, get out of here! Our eldest daughter of the Qian family is going back home..."
