Honey, you didn’t really drugged me, did you?

Chapter 203: Chapter 117 How is this Possible, The Divine Identity of Chen Jiu (10,000 words seeking subscription)_2 Chapter 203: Chapter 117 How is this Possible, The Divine Identity of Chen Jiu (10,000 words seeking subscription)_2 At this moment, the Housekeeper surveyed the four new young girls that had just been brought in—two had been sold by their impoverished families voluntarily.

The other two were acquired through special channels.

The Housekeeper had a ferocious look on her face, her gaze sweeping over the four newcomers—the oldest could be ten, while the youngest appeared only five.

Regardless of their age, all were frightened by the Housekeeper’s glare, shrinking back and cowering.

However, there was one little girl who was an exception.

This little girl, with a head shaped like a tiger’s and large watery eyes, did not seem too cowardly; instead, she looked around curiously, as if not particularly afraid.

Seeing this, the Housekeeper became intrigued.

Natural boldness like hers, if nurtured well, could become quite a profitable personality.

Moreover, although the little one was young, she had delicate features, clearly a beauty in the making.

With this in mind, the Housekeeper asked, “Where did this little tyke come from?”

“Madam, Feng Si brought her.”

“Oh, at what price?”

“Five hundred silver taels.”

“Hmm, worth it.”

“Ruirui.”

“Ruirui, that’s not a nice name.

Madam will give you a new one, Zhixuan.

Remember, from now on, you’re called Zhixuan!”

“Oh.”

The little girl simply responded upon hearing her new name, and then her eyes fixed on a large apple on the nearby table.

“That apple, could you give it to me to eat?”

“Huh?”

Madam was startled; over the course of a year, scores of girls would enter Yihong House, yet it was the first time someone wanted something to eat right upon meeting.

Madam signaled with her eyes, and a maid immediately brought the apple over.

Madam said, “You’re quite a clever girl, huh?

Here, take it.”

“Thank you, Auntie!”

Auntie!

Everyone around was shocked upon hearing this, their eyes widening as they watched Daisy munching away at the apple.

Daring to call the Housekeeper ‘Auntie,’ you’re the first.

At this moment, the Housekeeper watched Daisy enjoying the apple and said, “You, you dare call me Auntie?

Are you not afraid of me?”

“Not scared, crunch~”

As Daisy bit into the apple, the Housekeeper asked, “Do you even know where you are?”

“Don’t know, eh?”

“You’re not scared?”

“Why be scared?

My brother-in-law will come and take me home soon.”

Daisy spoke with the apple in her mouth, to which the Housekeeper chuckled and said, “So you’re a little silly thing.

Wondering why you’re not afraid of anything.

Little one, I tell you, once you enter the doors of Yihong House, not even the King of Heaven can save you.

You, you’ll never leave this place in your lifetime.”

“That can’t be, my brother-in-law will come for me soon.

He won’t let me stay outside overnight, my sister will worry.”

Daisy stated this with great certainty.

Her large, watery eyes were filled with immense trust.

The Housekeeper replied, “I’m not wasting words with a little thing like you.

Eat quickly, go wash up, and take a nap.

You’ll start learning tomorrow.

Remember, if you don’t learn well, you’ll be punished.”

“Uh-huh, you all go to sleep first, I’ll wait for my brother-in-law to take me home.”

“Stop eating!”

The Housekeeper, now infuriated, knocked the apple out of her hand, and as Daisy watched the apple roll away, she looked up at the Housekeeper with a pitiful expression, “If you wash it, it can still be eaten.”

“Eat, eat, fine, you don’t want to eat?

Starting now until the morning after next, you’re not allowed any food.

The two of you monitor her.”

The Housekeeper pointed to two maids, only about fourteen or fifteen.

“Yes, Madam.”

“Take her to sleep now.”

“Yes.”

As they led Daisy away to sleep, the Housekeeper seethed with anger.

At this time, a member of the staff whispered, “Madam, this little girl keeps talking about her brother-in-law; isn’t he some important figure?”

The Housekeeper replied with a sneer, “Heh, what does it matter if he’s an important figure?

This is Yihong House.

In twenty years have you ever seen anyone rescued from here?

Once you’re here, not even the King of Heaven can walk out.”

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

Hearing this, the staff member laughed and said, “Ha, what Madam says is right; no one can rescue anyone from Yihong House!”

…

At this time, outside the Yihong House, Chen Jie stood holding a long spear, with five underlings behind him.

The guards at Yihong House, seeing someone come with weapons, tacitly notified that trouble was coming.

Chen Jie wasn’t rash about entering, but instead, he planted the long spear outside Yihong House.

Then, he strode in.

Six guards from White Tiger Hall followed behind him.

The six men escorted Chen Jie into Yihong House, and as soon as he stepped through the entrance, the guards immediately surrounded him, causing a commotion among people around who were drinking and enjoying themselves.

What’s going on?

Someone is stirring up trouble, but it seemed ludicrous—this, after all, was Yihong House.

Who had the guts to cause a disturbance here?

Don’t they know the word ‘death’?

In an instant, a crowd gathered around, watching the excitement, discussing among themselves.

At this moment upstairs, the Mianshui County Magistrate Tang Wannian was merrily drinking with a beauty when he suddenly heard the commotion below.

He glanced at his guard, who immediately went to the private room window, opened a crack, and looked down.

After a moment he said, “County Lord, it seems there’s trouble.”

“Trouble?”

Tang Wannian’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he swallowed a grape that a beauty had just put in his mouth before asking, “Who is it?”

“Judging by the clothes, they seem to be from the Fishing Guild’s White Tiger Hall.”

At this, Tang Wannian asked, “Peng Shizhong?”

“The County Lord wants to intervene?”

“Why should I?

I only hold a twenty percent silent partnership.

Do I need to step in for this sort of thing?

Just watch the show; we have managers here for a reason.”
