Chapter 3 Yu Ren
Chapter 3 Buyer's Wife
In addition to being comfortable, Bai Fuling's carriage was not as luxurious as other people thought. The most special thing was that the axle and body were made with a lot of shockproof mechanisms. There were a variety of unique designs on the carriage, allowing people to work comfortably or rest in the carriage.
For example, there was an ice trough in front of the carriage and under the coachman's chair. There was a row of air holes on the inclined side of the ice trough. When the carriage was moving, the hot wind poured from these air holes into the carriage and would turn cold from the ice bucket across the carriage. When people sat inside, they could not feel the heat outside the carriage. Even the coachman who drove the carriage felt very cool.
At this moment, Bai Fuling was sitting in the carriage. She flipped through a thick stack of contracts and muttered,
"Plus, there are a total of 8699 of these. With today's figure, there are a total of 8700 of them. There are still 1,300 left...There are three more years left...It should be more than enough time"
The horse carriage quickly arrived at the end of the iron claw street in the city. Immediately, Bai Shanglu, Bai Thirteen, and the others jumped off the horse in unison. Among them, four guards went up to help the maids on the white camel. The other three people were led by Bai Thirteen to the alley in front of them and forcefully knocked on the wooden door.
The informant guessed among the gathered onlookers near the alley beside the carriage.,
"Eh?" Wasn't this Li Xiu Cai's house? Could it be that Miss Bai is interested in his wife, Lady Huang?"
The four maids beside the carriage were already busy. One of them took out a strange wooden frame from the camel saddlebag and opened it. The other took out a silk umbrella and opened it. From the remaining two one pulled out a small wooden ladder and placed it under the carriage door.
The last maid opened the door and reached out to help Bai Fuling out of the carriage.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on the door. There were even people who couldn't help but gulp down saliva. Everyone in Beiguan city knew that Miss Bai was a rare beauty in the world!
A small snow-white hand stretched out from the door of the ebony carriage, followed by a piece of emerald-green silk sleeve. Under the sunlight, the hand looked like a translucent white jade. It was so delicate that no lines or pores could be seen. It was soft and boneless as it held onto the maid's pink satin sleeve. It was exquisite and could not be described as just beautiful.
All of a sudden, the surroundings were so quiet that a needle drop could be heard. Everyone unconsciously held their breath and waited for the owner of this hand to appear. Even the sound of Bai Thirteen's knocking had become distant and ethereal.
Finally, with a graceful figure. Bai Fuling appeared in a green and gold embroidered long skirt with silk white dress, supported by her maid. She lowered her head and stepped on the wooden ladder in front of the carriage door.
She stepped down step by step and stepped on the ground. She slowly straightened her body and lifted her head. Her jet-black hair was loosely rolled up and there was no hairpin, a beautiful face was exposed in front of everyone.
Bai Fuling that was less than fifteen years old looked somewhat childish. There was a dark red mole between her brows. She looked like the daughter of the Jade Emperor of the legends. It was so beautiful that she looked like an immortal.
Bai Fuling was unable to adapt to the intense sunlight outside the carriage for a while. She narrowed her eyes slightly before slowly opening them. The surrounding people only felt that those dark and clear eyes seemed to be looking at them.
Bai Guoli, who was supporting her, took her to the chair and Bai Fuling sat down. Maid took out a fan and gently shook it. These maids were well trained. Their appearance, temperament, clothes and materials were not inferior to those from a noble family.
Moreover, they had a bit more natural and generous air. There were so many people around them, but the maids were all calm and composed as if the people standing next to them were all chickens and dogs, not worth mentioning.
However, all the young ladies from a noble family would not openly show their faces in the streets as they did.
Bai Fuling didn't mind being watched in such a situation at all. It was rare for them to look someone so beautiful, yet she was still not afraid of being seen? Plus, she had never done anything good without leaving a name for herself. She was doing such a great thing today, the more people saw it, the better!
Right now, she was only concerned about one thing. She didn't know if the pretty and capable Huang shi, that Bai Pingzi mentioned was really that good. Otherwise, she would have been at too much of a loss if she ran out to "pick up ordinary people" under the hot sun.
This was a matter that affected her face and reputation. Everyone knew that she, Bai Fuling, would snatch only handsome men and beautiful women!
After a long period of knocking, the wooden door finally creaked open before it collapsed. A thin, ragged-looking scholar opened the door. When he saw, so many people gathered outside the door, he was shocked. Without waiting for him to speak, Bai Thirteen grabbed his collar and dragged him towards the carriage.
The scholar looked up and saw the Bai Fuling that looked like a Celestial Immortal under the umbrella not far away. His eyes immediately turned bright and he became a little distracted.
Bai Shanglu took a few steps in order to block his sight and seized the scholar from head to toe. His eyes revealed a look of disdain as he took out a contract from his chest and said,
"You are Li Xiucai. Is Lady Huang your wife?"
Scholar Li looked at the young scholar in front of him with a slightly envious look. He cursed inwardly: 'He's just a servant, yet he's so arrogant. Bah!'
Bai Shanglu nodded and replied,
"Yes, yes!"
"My master wants to buy your wife, Miss Huang, as her servant. The price is ten liangs. This is a contract for selling your property. You can just sign it."
Liang: ancient Chinese currency
Scholar Li was stunned for a moment before he stammered,
"Little, Little Shang, did you say I want to sell my wife?"
Before Bai Shanglu could say anything, Bai Thirteen punched him in the stomach. Li Xiucai was instantly beaten to the point where he hugged his stomach and collapsed to the ground, screaming in pain.
"My master wants to buy it, you have to sell it even if you don't want to!"
Bai Thirteen had always been more committed about playing the role of a vicious slayer than usual. It was no wonder Bai Fuling loved to bring him along every time she went out to snatch someone.
Seeing this scene, some of the foreigners in the crowd shook their heads and said in a low voice,
"How could this be? In broad daylight, they actually dared to forcefully rob a woman!"
However, there were only a few people who didn't know what to do. While the locals all had relaxed expressions. Not only did they not feel angry at all, but they were also all excited to watch the show.
Only a fool would try to intercept and regret after Bai Shishan's beating. Moreover, this small group of foreigners did not believe that Miss Bai, who was as beautiful as a Celestial Immortal, would be the villain who allowed her subordinates to cause trouble and commit crimes.
The follow-up development was completely beyond their expectations. Bai Fuling did not blink, let alone stop her subordinates.
The two maids beside her, escorted by two guards, entered Li Xiucai's house. In the blink of an eye, a timid and beautiful young woman appeared.
