Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Chapter 78: Chapter 78 Xuexue

With a forceful kick at the unconscious bean-curd-skin man on the ground, Xuexue began to think of ways to escape.

All the doors and windows were tightly locked; it was evident Auntie Sun had premeditated this plot, wanting to destroy her chastity. She even picked a date when the Mo family was out, luring her here under the guise of Mo Xiaoqiang. Worse, fearing she wouldn’t comply, they had drugged her, allowing Madam Xie to personally administer the drink to her.

Xuexue felt her body growing hotter and her consciousness beginning to blur.

“No, I must leave this place quickly.” Stretching out her hand, she gave her thigh a fierce twist, and her mind cleared up a bit.

She knew this place was dangerous. Although the bean-curd-skin man was temporarily knocked out, if anyone found them alone together in a room, even if nothing happened, her reputation would still be ruined. At that point, dreading public opinion, she would be forced to marry regardless.

She had just been reborn not long ago and already someone had schemed against her, which infuriated Xuexue.

Despite her discomfort, she moved to Auntie Sun’s vanity, saw one of the drawers was locked, and without a second thought, picked up a stool and smashed it down…

“Bang!”

The lock fell off at the sound.

Opening the drawer, she discovered Auntie Sun was indeed wealthy. There was a large box filled only with silver and goldware, probably the rewards from her time as a prostitute at Yihong Brothel, as well as about thirty Taels of silver. Xuexue decided it was all or nothing, so she wrapped everything in a cloth and tied it to her body.

The bean-curd-skin-faced man had just said Auntie Sun had sold her for twenty Taels. Now, by doing this, she was turning the tables on a fraud, thinking it was her bad luck to have her purity destroyed and to be placed in her own den; she deserved it.

After preparing everything, Xuexue took the stool to the window and pounded it several times, making a large hole in the firmly secured window.

Just at that moment, the voice of Aunt Sun came from outside the door.

“Husband, I think that Xuexue might also fancy the butcher.”

“That’s quite good, isn’t it exactly as you wanted?” Mo Xiaoqiang said distractedly.

“What do you mean ‘as I wanted’? I’m arranging a marriage for Xuexue for Madam Xie’s sake. Once Xuexue is married off, their family will have one less mouth to feed; that’s a good thing for her.”

“Didn’t you say they were all waiting for me in the main hall? Why are both of them missing?”

Mo Xiaoqiang was very puzzled. Aunt Sun had said she was helping Xuexue with a marriage proposal to a man over forty. He had initially disagreed, but after she persisted with her pillow talk night after night, he eventually softened and agreed.

“Who knows? Maybe they hit it off and have already snuck off together for some mischief.” Aunt Sun chuckled slyly, covering her mouth as she thought of the scene in the room.

“What nonsense are you spouting again?”

“Yes, yes, I’m talking nonsense.” Aunt Sun was extremely pleased with herself, thinking that in a little while, he would learn just how bad his daughter was.

“Wife, why on earth would you lock the door so tightly?”

It was unusual for the door to be locked, but tonight the locks were as secure as iron sentinels, no wonder Mo Xiaoqiang was suspicious.

“Uh! This…, hey, our house is empty, isn’t it? I’m preventing theft, preventing theft.” Aunt Sun made up an excuse as she went forward to unlock the door.

Hearing the unlocking sound from the room, Xuexue sneered, thinking Aunt Sun was truly vicious, destroying her chastity and even wanting her father to be a witness.

Hearing the sound of unlocking, Xuexue knew they were about to enter the room. She quickly turned around and climbed out the window in an instant.
