Chapter 1536: Indenture Contract, Three Chapters (Second Update)_2

Lin Yuan spoke up, and Widow Qiao immediately deflated like a punctured ball, instantly losing her temper as she shrank her neck and hid behind Huai Hua.

Huai Hua bit her lip and put on a pitiful look of being bullied, her appearance on the verge of tears truly stirred up sympathy.

Lin Yuan glanced sideways and, following Huai Hua’s gaze, indeed saw Xia Zheng. A scornful laugh in her heart, she slanted her eyes sending Xia Zheng a meaningful look.

With that look, Xia Zheng’s body shuddered, glaring at Huai Hua then back at Lin Yuan, quickly realizing and shaking his head hurriedly.

Lin Yuan arched an eyebrow, seductively curling her lips.

But Xia Zheng still refused to give in, shaking his head persistently.

Lin Yuan blinked, resorting to her feminine wiles.

Xia Zheng’s eyebrows knitted, he touched his lips, then lifted them with self-satisfied pride.

Lin Yuan shrugged, winked, deal sealed!

Xia Zheng let out an excited "ha," and glanced at Huai Hua with utmost joy.

A tremble struck Huai Hua’s heart, instantly lost in Xia Zheng’s seemingly tender gaze.

The silent communication between Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng was lost on everyone else, but Shui Xian and Shopkeeper Liu, who knew too well the trickery of the two, silently paid their respects in their hearts.

Looking at Father Yinxing and Widow Qiao, Lin Yuan cleared her throat and said, "Both of you, although the indenture contract has been signed, there’s one thing I must emphasize once more."

Lin Yuan shook the indenture contract in her hand, her voice clear and indisputable.

"Firstly, these three are now mine, Lin Yuan’s, to deal with as I see fit, including beating, killing, or selling them! Of course, I am very kind, as long as they don’t cross me, I won’t be so harsh."

Hearing this first point, Father Yinxing shuddered, his guilt towards his daughters deepening, realizing that the radiant life they seemed to lead was fraught with such constant fear!

The silver they earned was hard-fought; he had the gall to ask for silver from them, truly shameless!

Thinking this, Father Yinxing made up his mind that even if he had to die poor and hungry, he wouldn’t ask his daughters for silver ever again.

However, Widow Qiao and Huai Hua didn’t take Lin Yuan’s words to heart at all; Xia Zheng had already looked at her, what did that mean? It meant he was interested in her! The path to becoming a concubine was right before her eyes!

Observing the various thoughts running through their minds, Lin Yuan curled her lips, continuing, "Secondly, now that it’s a death-bound contract, you’d better not come looking for them ever again. I detest trouble, and I do not wish for a repeat of Yinxing’s situation. If it happens, I won’t hesitate to sell them off, to spare myself the annoyance!"

"Never, never will I seek out my daughters again!" Widow Qiao waved her hands repeatedly, signaling her intent.

Father Yinxing nodded with tears in his eyes, agreeing.

Lin Yuan was quite satisfied with this response and added, "Thirdly, we will let the matter of the two hundred taels of silver rest. However, the silver you’ve previously demanded from Yinxing..."

Upon hearing this, Widow Qiao instinctively clutched her satin garment, her eyes wide with fear and unease as she looked at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan’s heart sneered, with disdain she said, "Rest assured, after all, you are Yinxing’s biological father. Although you have not done well by them, as a daughter, she should honor you, hence you need not return the silver."

Hearing they wouldn’t have to return the silver, Widow Qiao immediately relaxed.

Shui Xian pursed her lips, holding contempt for her greed in taking advantage of small gains.

Coughing lightly, Lin Yuan continued, "Out of respect for her being your daughter, you need not return the silver. Out of respect for Yinxing’s deceased mother and her little brother, I will give you an additional thirty taels of silver, hoping you will raise your son well and not fail his late mother."

As she spoke, Shopkeeper Liu had already taken out a purse from the drawer and handed it to Father Yinxing, the silver obviously prepared beforehand.

Father Yinxing stood there dumbfounded, not expecting to leave with silver today.

"Commandery Princess! This old man thanks the Commandery Princess!"

Seeing Father Yinxing’s tearful gratitude, Lin Yuan shook her head, reminding again, "This silver is not for you, but for your son. I hope you can raise him to be someone accomplished!"

She threw a meaningful glance at Widow Qiao and said with a sneer, "Of course, you could also fritter it away, perhaps on silk or pork..."

"No, no! As soon as I get home, I am going to entrust this silver to the village chief’s care, to be used for my son’s education only! Nobody else should even think about it!" ƒгeewebnovёl_com

Before Lin Yuan could finish, Father Yinxing had already interjected, evidently having already thought about Widow Qiao’s greed.

The village chief might be an outsider, but he was a decent man who wouldn’t embezzle his silver. But family was different...

Seeing Father Yinxing seemingly come to terms, Lin Yuan had no more to say, leaning back in her chair and sipping her tea.

Shui Xian understandingly said to Widow Qiao and Father Yinxing, "The Commandery Princess has nothing more to say. Now that the indenture contract has been signed, the two of you had better leave quickly! Remember what the Commandery Princess has said: from now on, do not come looking for Yinxing and her sisters."

Widow Qiao immediately nodded "yes, yes," ready to leave without any reluctance to leave Huai Hua behind.

Father Yinxing, clutching the silver, looked earnestly, "Old man, may I, may I see them once more?"

Shui Xian glanced toward the door leading to the backyard, seeing Yinxing’s embroidered shoes faintly, showing no intention of entering.

She sighed, knowing Yinxing did not want to see her father again.

"Just leave quickly, don’t keep delaying Dong Tian’s business."

Shui Xian shook her head, escorting them out.

Widow Qiao immediately pulled Father Yinxing away, cursing and pushing him out. On the way out, she couldn’t help but look back at Huai Hua, revealing a satisfied smile.
