Chapter 203: Chapter 117 How is This Possible, Who Exactly is Chen 94? (10,000 Characters Asking for Subscription)_2

At this moment, the housekeeper looked at the four newly brought-in young girls. Two were sold willingly by poor families.

The other two were purchased through special channels.

The housekeeper had a fierce expression. She glanced over the four new girls; the oldest appeared to be ten, and the youngest seemed only five.

No matter how old they were, they all trembled with fear under the housekeeper’s gaze, shrinking back timidly.

However, one little girl was an exception.

This little girl looked like a tiger cub, her big eyes watery, and she didn’t show much timidity. Instead, she curiously looked around, not seeming very scared.

Seeing this scene, the housekeeper became interested.

*Such naturally brave girls, when properly trained, become excellent sources of income.* Moreover, although this little one was very young, her features were delicate, indicating she’d grow up to be a beauty.

Thinking of this, the housekeeper asked, ”Where did this little one come from?”

”Madam, sent by Feng Si.”

”Oh, for what price?”

”Five hundred taels of silver.”

”Hmm, worth it.”

The housekeeper nodded, then turned to the little girl and asked, ”What is your name?”

”Daisy.”

”Daisy? Doesn’t sound good. Madam shall give you a name, Zhixuan. Remember, from now on, you will be called Zhixuan.”

”Oh.”

The little girl responded, quickly setting her eyes on the big apple on a table nearby.

”Can I eat that apple?”

”Hmm?”

The housekeeper was surprised; amongst the dozens of girls who entered Yihong House each year, she was the first to immediately ask for food.

The housekeeper signaled, and a maid behind her quickly brought the apple over.

The housekeeper said, ”You seem clever, hmm, here you go.”

”Thank you, auntie!”

Auntie!

Everyone around was shocked to hear this, staring with wide eyes at the little Daisy gnawing on an apple.

*To dare call the housekeeper ’auntie,’ you’re the first.*

The housekeeper looked at the contently eating little Daisy and said, ”You, you dare call me auntie? Aren’t you afraid of me?”

”No, I’m not. Crunch~”

Daisy bit into the apple, as the housekeeper asked, ”Do you know where you are?”

”No?”

”Aren’t you scared?”

”What’s there to be scared of? My brother-in-law will come to take me home later.”

Daisy said while eating the apple. Hearing this, the housekeeper chuckled and said, ”Turns out you’re a little fool, that’s why you’re not afraid of anything. Little one, let me tell you, once you’ve entered our Yihong House, not even the King of Heaven can take you away. You, you’ll never leave this place in your lifetime.”

”No, my brother-in-law will come to pick me up soon. He won’t let me stay out overnight, my sister will be worried.”

Daisy stated very confidently.

Her big watery eyes were full of trust.

The housekeeper said, ”I won’t argue with you, little one. Hurry up and eat, and after eating, wash up and sleep. You’ll start learning tomorrow. Remember, if you don’t learn well, you’ll be punished.”

Daisy said while nibbling on the apple, ”Oh, you all sleep first, I’ll wait for my brother-in-law to take me home.”

”You, stop eating!”

The housekeeper was infuriated, knocking the apple from her hand. Daisy looked at the apple rolling away and plaintively gazed at the housekeeper, ”You can still wash it and eat.”

”Eat, eat, fine, don’t want to eat? From now until the day after tomorrow morning, she’s not allowed to eat anything. You two supervise.”

The housekeeper pointed to two maids who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old.

”Yes, madam.”

”Now, take her to sleep.”

”Yes.”

Saying this, the two maids took Daisy to sleep. The housekeeper was fuming when a slave next to her said, ”Madam, this little girl keeps mentioning her brother-in-law. Could he be someone important?”

The housekeeper replied, ”Ha, even if he’s important, this is Yihong House. Have you ever seen anyone taken away in twenty years? Once you’re here, not even the King of Heaven can leave.”

”So, whoever her brother-in-law is, it doesn’t matter.”

Hearing this, the slave immediately laughed, ”Ha, madam is right, no one can rescue anyone from our Yihong House!”

...

Outside Yihong House, Chen Jie stood with a long spear in hand, followed by five young men. The guards outside Yihong House, seeing someone approaching with weapons, silently signaled that there was trouble.

Chen Jie didn’t rush in recklessly; instead, he planted his spear outside Yihong House.

He then strode in.

Behind him were six guards from the White Tiger Hall.

The six guards surrounded Chen Jie as they entered Yihong House. As soon as they stepped through the door, the guards brought people to encircle them, causing a commotion among those drinking and having fun.

*p>*What’s happening? Someone’s causing trouble? But it seems funny—who dares cause trouble here at Yihong House. Do they not know the meaning of death?*

In an instant, a crowd gathered, either watching or discussing the excitement.

Meanwhile, upstairs, Mianshui County Magistrate Tang Wannian was drinking merrily with a beautiful woman when he suddenly heard the noise outside. He glanced at the guard beside him, who immediately went to the window, opened a gap, and looked down.

After a moment, he said, ”County Lord, it seems like someone is causing trouble.”

”Causing trouble?”

Tang Wannian slightly frowned, swallowed a grape fed by a beauty, and asked, ”Who is it?”

”From the looks of the clothes, it seems to be from the Fishing Guild’s White Tiger Hall.”

Upon hearing this, Tang Wannian said, ”Peng Shizhong?”

”County Lord, should we do something?”

”Do what? I only take a twenty percent dry share here. You think I’d step in for this? Enjoy the show; this place has managers.”
